“You do?” Derek couldn’t possibly hide the surprise that lingered in his question.
Aislyn nodded against him.
“Why?”
Derek had to hear it. He had to know that this wasn’t just one moment in the sea of many still to be had or rather, missed..
Again, he felt her nod, but it wasn’t enough.
“Tell me,” he pleaded against her lips.
“It’s hard to explain,” she whispered, still seeking him… his touch…
Derek hummed again in appreciation that she was still speaking to him on this level; that she didn
Aislyn let him forget his flaws as she traced her fingertips ever so gently across his marbled skin. It felt so similar to the way she touched him on the couch, but this was different. Here she climbed his strong arms, eager to touch him everywhere and it showed. His love was following it as if it was a map to his needs hidden deep within his heart. He shuddered out a breath as she found her way up his neck to caress his cheek. There she sat up slightly to meet him. As her lips found his, he felt the way her legs released his sides, butterflying open for him. Derek’s eyes rolled back into his head as she continued exploring him. The feel of her hands splayed over his chest, each finger daftly ran against the tender flesh of his nipples making him groan once more. She was going to be the death of him, he thought as she
The thrill of coming apart with her, as awkward of a moment this was, had been everything. His love, ever eager to help him through this, still tongued his knot as he continued to gasp for air. Derek’s right hand dove into her hair, pulling it roughly to bend her back to him but she tightened her grip on him. It kept him oddly in place while he spurted hot ropes of come up into the air. It fell like lace, drizzling her crown, hands and tongue. He’d never felt anything so powerful in his life. The thought of his rut eventually coming to pass promised him that there would be plenty of times she could experiment with him in the future. It made him grin but then that lasting article of clothing mocked him. This afternoon, in no way, went according to plan. He was, however, completely bare to the love of his life, moaning
Derek hung on the sound of her gasp for far longer than he wanted to, given his proposal. Wasn’t he clear? Didn’t she understand that she’d live freely with him? “As nice as it sounds,” she began. “I’m human. I can’t shapeshift or… or grow a thick coat in the winter. Why do you think I have a million blankets on our bed?” A four letter word threatened to correct her. Nest, not bed, he begged to keep inside. “Besides,” she half chuckled, “If I gave Candice the slip, she’d have everyone on and off the grid looking for me.” “So tell her this is what you want,” he replied, defensively. “It’s not that easy,” Aislyn sighed.
Derek can’t organize his thoughts fast enough. First he’s in their room snatching up his boxers. Then he’s narrowly missing running into the wall, and hopping over items within her living room to get to the kitchen. The smells in that room needed to be evacuated promptly. Especially because of what they just shared… It should have overpowered the apartment but all he could do was smell literally everything else that came into their space. Candice and Micha were there with the plethora of noxious scents that came from Sirens with them. Guy was still there. The Silverbacks seemed to sprinkle in more so than before, and honestly, it was grinding on his every nerve that he was outside of his care.He shook his head and powered on into the kitchen next. It would have been better if she found out on her own what he managed to do today, but as he flew to the fridge and
Derek’s entire being felt a buzz.“You…” he questioned as if he’d just run a marathon.“I know what it means,” she hastily replied.Derek’s eyes only widened. She couldn’t possibly know. How would she? School sure as hell couldn’t have covered it.“What do you think it means?” Derek swallowed heavily.His wolf and Beta felt equally still after all of that crap they promised to pull with him. They were completely alert now, each unable to hide their enthusiasm.“It’s a promise to my goddess given m
=====Aislyn=====One could only hope, she thought to herself, although his rapidly darkening eyes told her differently. He could hear her loud and clear.“For how long?” she arched herself enough to pull her back off the wall, her head rolling purposefully to the side as she went.There’s a third entity now. One she didn’t feel before that circles around them, urging her to feel this. For the briefest moment she thinks she knows just what it is, but it has no business with her here.Aislyn purposely rolls her hips downward against him, waiting for an answer, but the best he can repl
It makes next to no sense as to why she can still feel the goddess’ split energies around her or why it should matter. Derek cast her out to play his game. The pang of rejection sat heavily on her heart, even though her misdirection, her careful hand, all made sense in her apartment. It was as if they were already whole; the relationship already established. She’d gotten a spike of intimacy with him and hoped for more, encouraged on by the unseen. Maybe it was indirectly him. The thought crossed her mind that even in his admittance, his heritage could still be bouncing off hypothetical walls, in search of what she didn’t own. She had no wolf; no designation… So why was she so entirely snared by this? By him? Aislyn’s thoughts died within the noisy traffic of the city while she focused on only one thing, getting out of
Her wolf sneezed against her neck and pulled away as she tried her best to lean right and find comfort in his pretty fur. Her eyes widened as his eyes found hers with a warning there. “Sorry… I…” she managed. “I thought…” Aislyn murmured her answer to his warning. “You look so soft. I just…” Aislyn remembered scrambling to her feet at the sound of birds racing for the sky. Her terror, his rejection… It was all too much. This was supposed to be a safe place… maybe she misinterpreted it. Maybe she was never safe, or wanted. It made sense the longer she stacked her reasons against herself. Aislyn couldn’t help the tears that openly streamed down her face as the scene before her played out. She caught her wolf’s disappointed look and ran off into the direction of whatever danger lurked there. It would be better, she thought. Better than this.Not having shoes was a blessing and a curse. What her bare feet landed on propelled her further, even if it jutted its way through the tough skin
