Chaptrer One
(CHLOE POV)
…I kissed him back the same way, like I didn't want him to ever stop.
It was a perfect moment, one where nothing else mattered. All I could feel was him. All I could taste was his kiss. All I could hear was the pounding of his heart. All I could think about was him, and how much I wanted this, and how incredibly lucky I was to get it, and how tight I was to hold onto it.
This was what I wanted. This guy. This life. This me. I was never getting my old life back, and I didn't care. I was happy. I was safe. I was right where I wanted to be.
We kissed for what seemed like forever yet could only have been about five minutes tops. When we pulled apart, I felt empty, like while Derek kissed me, he was sucking pieces of me into himself. I mean, this was a classic romantic movie scene: the hero kisses the damsel/rarely-heroine and afterwards she feels lonely and empty without the presence of his lips. Normally I don't watch those kinds of movies, but living it was amazing.
And it's not something I can control. Derek just evokes those feelings in me and I never realized it before. Looking back, I don't know how I didn't realize before that this werewolf was always the right brother. It seems so obvious to me now. Simon is the ideally perfect boyfriend kind of guy, but Derek…Derek, while being a "dangerous" (whatever) werewolf might not be ideal, he seems to the perfect boy for ME, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Part of me loves the wolf in him.
"Chloe?" Derek's voice broke through my thoughts. Crap, I zoned out.
"Hmm?" I replied, absent minded.
"Is me…kissing you something you're okay with?" He seemed uncharacteristically nervous.
"Yes! Definitely!" I yelped with way too much enthusiasm. "Er, I mean, of course." Derek's chuckle rumbled through the dark night.
"Good," his deep voice murmured happily – well, happily for Derek, I think!
I couldn't help but lean up and kiss him again.

(DEREK POV)
Chloe—small, stuttering, innocent, pretty Chloe—was kissing me. ME. The fact she hadn't run the other way when she found out what I am or have chosen Simon was miracle enough, but this…this was simply phenomenal.
After all we've been through, this was the perfect way to relax and enjoy the moments we aren't literally running for our lives. Chloe, when she wasn't worrying me to death, made me feel…better. Not like a monster. I liked that.
We finally pulled away and caught our breath. She wore a slightly dreamy expression and remained silent.
I frowned, Is this a good silence or a bad silence?
"Chloe?" I asked. She, half way out of her thoughts, replied with an absent minded "hmm?"
"Is me…kissing you something you're okay with?"
She took a moment to looked shocked before squealing out a yes, composing herself, then restating it with deliberately less enthusiasm. Her yelp hurt my sensitive ears, but it was worth it. My heart beat even faster at her embarrassed blush.
"Chloe? Are you out here?" Chloe's Aunt Lauren's voice rang clear in the darkness. Chloe and I each jumped away from each other on reflex. Though was it really necessary? Ugh, why did I jump away? Now Chloe's going to think that I don't want to be seen with her romantically. Idiot….
"Coming!" Chloe called back. She looked up at me and smiled, kissing my cheek before walking inside to see what her aunt wanted. I watched her walk away and my hand involuntarily went to my cheek, brushing the place her lips touched.
I followed shortly, joining Simon and Dad in our room. They were talking, looking slightly awkward since it's been so long. I cleared my throat to alert them of my presence, knowing that they hadn't heard me approach. If my wolf-ness was good for one thing, it was being sneaky.
"Derek!" Dad stood and gave me a man-hug before gesturing for me to sit. "We were just talking about you!" I raised my brow and looked to Simon, only to find him smirking at me.
"Ya know, D, your mouth looks a little swollen. Must have been all that 'talking' you were doing with Chloe." He teased. I flushed despite myself and he snickered at me.
But it didn't take a genius to know that the blank dullness in Simon's eyes meant that while he had said it was okay, he hadn't gotten over Chloe. I stared at him for a moment, aware that he could tell I felt guilty. That just made me feel guiltier.
