Shopping With Annie

I took Annie’s hand as we walked out of the house to get into the car. We were leaving later than I wanted to, but if being late meant that Annie felt better about herself, then I was going to be late every single day. I walked her to the passenger side door, where I opened it for her before helping her inside. She smiled up at me, and I couldn’t stop myself from bending down to peck her lips.
“Let’s make this fast, baby. I’m ready to be home already,” I told her huskily.
“Okay, Gerry,” she murmured before biting her lip.
“Fuck, Annie! What did I tell you about doing that? It drives me crazy,” I reminded her as I stared at her mouth.
She covered her mouth, laughing happily. “Oops, sorry.”
I pulled her hand down before rubbing her lip with my thumb. “Don’t apologize, Annaria. Do it again.”
She met my eyes before biting down on her lip again, making my cock start to get hard.
“I’m going to make love to you all night,” I promised her.
She flushed as she nodded. “I’d like that.”
I shut her door before walking around to get in the driver’s side. As I backed out, Annie twisted her hands together nervously. I glanced at her curiously.
“What’s going on in that pretty little head of yours, Banannie?” I asked her softly.
She looked down at my hand before turning her head to look out the window. “Nothing.”
I sighed as I put my hand on her knee. “Talk to me, sweetheart. There’s nothing that you could say that would upset me. So, Annie, what are you thinking about?”
“Are you sure?”
“Very,” I answered immediately.
“Well, it’s really two things…”
“Which are?” I prodded.
“One: I want to hold your hand,” she admitted shyly, making me grin like a fool as I took her hand.
“You never have to worry about touching me. I’m yours to touch. Any time you want to touch me, do so. I won’t push you away,” I told her.
“Okay. I just…don’t want to do the wrong thing. I don’t want to cause you any problems,” she confided.
“You won’t, Annie. There is nothing you can do that would cause me problems.” I kissed the back of her hand as I pulled into the furniture and appliance warehouse. “And the other thing?”
Her grip tightened on my hand to the point my fingertips started to turn white while I waited for her to speak. When she didn’t answer after a few minutes, I turned in my seat to look at her.
“What is it, baby?”
“It's just… Sometimes you scare me,” she blurted.
“I scare you? What do I do that scares you?” I asked, shocked by what she said.
“Please, don’t be mad,” she whispered as she let my hand go while shrinking back against the passenger door. “I’m sorry. You don’t scare me.”
I cupped her face. “Annaria, you can talk to me. I don’t want you to be afraid of me,” I told her softly.
She searched my face for a moment before looking away. “It scares me how angry you get. When you grab me, it hurts and leaves bruises. I-I don’t like to be grabbed.”
“Oh, Annie. I am so sorry. I promise that I won’t grab you anymore. I had no idea that it affected you so much. I just thought because we were both bears that it was okay. I shouldn’t have assumed.” I kissed over her knuckles, trying to convey how sorry I really was. “Sometimes I forget how different we are. I will also try to control my anger better. I never want you to be afraid of me. If I ever scare you, all you have to do is tell me that I’m scaring you and I will stop what I’m doing, okay?”
She nodded as she leaned toward me to put her forehead against mine. “Thank you, Gerry.”
I quickly pecked her lips before giving her an eskimo kiss. “Let’s go shop, Annie.”
“Okay. I’m ready.”
We got out, and as soon as I reached her side, I took her hand. “I love you, Annie. I promise you that I will strive to make you happy, but you have to tell me when I’m doing something wrong. I can’t read your mind as much as I want to. Otherwise, I would have known how you felt about me.” I kissed her hand again. “I wouldn’t have left. I would have held on so that we could have what we have now.”
She leaned her head on my shoulder. “I love you, Gerry.”
“I love you, too, Banannie. Now why don't you go pick a bed and I’ll pick a fridge for us?” I asked her, wanting to separate in the warehouse in the hopes that it would make our trip faster.
She nodded before hurrying toward the bedroom suites while I went left to the appliance section. I quickly chose a refrigerator, stove, and deep freezer before turning on my heel to find my woman. I knew exactly where she was, and not just because of her scent. Her little giggles were enough to guide me straight to where she was playfully bouncing on a bed while a young male stood next to her, eagerly watching the way her breasts moved while she remained oblivious to what was happening. I cleared my throat loudly, making her squeals stop as she got on her hands and knees on the bed before launching herself into my arms.
“GERRY! I like this one. You can adjust your side, and I can adjust my side. Look, feel the top. It’s so soft. It’s got a-a, ummm,” she said, glancing at the salesman.
“A pillowtop,” he filled in for her, not bothering to hide the fact that he was undressing Annie with his eyes.
I narrowed my eyes on him as I ran my hands down her body to grip her ass, lifting her a little so that I could kiss her deeply before lying her on the bed and crawling on top of her. I lifted her leg to put it over my hip as I pushed against her core. Her hands went to my shoulders as she almost helplessly lifted her hips to meet my thrust.
“Gerry,” she moaned.
I leaned down to kiss her again. “I like this bed too. Let’s get it.” I turned to glare at the salesman over my shoulder. “We’ll take this one along with the dresser, bedside table, and frame set. We will also take the queen set by the door. The black one, not the red one.” I paused when he made no move to start our order. “Do you understand?”
“Yes,” he said gruffly.
“Then why are you still here?” I seethed.
He held my gaze for a moment before walking off. Hands gripped my face before it was turned back to look down at Annie, who was watching me closely.
“Kraven? What’s wrong?” She asked.
I pressed my lips against hers while I struggled to calm my bear down. He wanted nothing more than to tear that little bastard’s head off for eye fucking my mate. When I pulled back, I was slightly calmer.
“I’m sorry, Annie. I didn’t like the way he was looking at you.” I put my forehead against hers. “You’re mine, and I should be the only one who looks at you like that.” I sighed. “But I know that men don’t care. I told you we were a stupid gender.”
She giggled before moving her hands under my shirt to lay them on my chest. “I didn’t even notice it.”
“I know you didn’t. You are such a loyal girl, Annie.”
Her eyes lit up. “Does that mean I get a reward?”
I chuckled as I brushed my lips over hers again. “Sure. What do you want?”
“I want to go get some Burger King and go home, where I will take my clothes off and let you teach me that I don’t have to be self-conscious about my jelly rolls,” she whispered shyly as she lightly scratched my chest while struggling to hold my gaze.
“Are you sure you want to do that?” I asked. “I don’t want you to push yourself too hard.”
“I promise you that I’m not. I want to love myself, Gerry. Like you love me. I don’t want to keep looking in the mirror and seeing nothing but flaws. I want to look in the mirror and think to myself, ‘Damn, girl. You’re looking good today.’”
I smiled down at her as I ran my hand down the side of her body. “Come on, Annie. Let’s finish up here so we can go home. There’s something I want to teach you.”
“What is it?” She asked excitedly.
I traced her lips as I ground against her again. “I want to teach you about your body.”
Confusion crossed her face. “But I know my body…”
I chuckled as I gripped her waist, gently grinding against her core. “Trust me, Annie. There’s so much more that you have to learn, and I am so happy to be the one who teaches you.” I kissed her one final time before getting up. “Let’s go, beautiful. In an hour, I want our nonexistent neighbors to know my name.”
She blinked slowly. “How would they find out? Are we going to meet them?”
I tipped her face up so that I could look into her eyes. “No, Annaria. I’m going to make you scream my name.”
