A/N: Sorry it took so long to update. I've been super busy and have gotten into some great new series, but that also takes me away from writing. I wrote this awhile back and had planned to add more to the chapter before adding it to the Fanfic but, well, just read below.


"Last time I was here," Wolf mused, "You had a gun pointed at my head."

Scarlet shrugged. "Last time you were here I thought you kidnapped my grandmother."

Wolf nodded. "Fair point."

Scarlet ignored the jumble of nerves in the pit of her stomach as she walked up the steps to her front door. After all, Wolf had already been inside the little farm house. But it was different this time. It felt strangely intimate to invite him in her house, and she felt exposed.

"I hope you don't mind hard work," she said over her shoulder as she stepped inside.

"Are you kidding? I love having a task to do, to keep busy. And besides, I enjoy the outdoors. I told you, I'm looking forward to working on this farm."

"Say that when you get up at 4 tomorrow morning," she muttered.

Wolf chuckled. Scarlet glanced at him, then smiled a little. Her gaze caught on the bowl sitting on the counter, and her smile widened. She reached around Wolf and snatched up a tomato.

"I bet you've missed these fresh, farm-grown tomatoes." Wolf smiled so widely that all of his teeth showed. And no canine tips were visible. The doctor on Luna had stayed true to his word and replaced Wolf's canines with regular teeth, and his claws with nails. Some of the effects from the chemicals were wearing off, too. No fur had grown on him, and his back wasn't so hunched, nor his feet so curved. His protruding jaw had set back on itself a little. Wolf was looking more human every day. He raised a brow at her.

"What?" His voice rumbled. Scarlet hadn't moved away from him after she had grabbed the tomato and her breath caught as she realized how close she was to him. She held her breath as he leaned in closer to her. Suddenly feeling mischievous, she took a step back and brought the tomato up between them, so that Wolf's lips touched it instead of hers. His eyes snapped open in surprise. His gaze focused on the tomato, then Scarlet, then the tomato again. Then he burst out laughing.

"Am I that bad a kisser?" He asked once he'd stopped laughing. "Trying to avoid me?"

"Maybe," Scarlet said coyly. She grabbed a cutting board and began to slice the tomato. Wolf came up behind her and circled his arms around her waist, setting his chin on her shoulder. His breath stirred the hair at the base of her neck and she shivered. She nearly dropped the knife as he pressed a kiss behind her ear. Wolf chuckled knowingly.

"Okay," she spun around and placed a hand on her hip. "Unless you want me to slice off another one of my fingers, I wouldn't do that while I'm…cutting up…." Her voice faltered as Wolf's gaze slid down to her lips, his eyes heated. She had the good sense to place the knife on the cutting board and take a step away from the counter. That step also brought her right up against Wolf. He wasted no time in threading his fingers through her hair and bringing her face to his. Scarlet gasped in surprise, but then kissed him back. Wolf was so much bolder now than he was when they first met. And that made him all the more attractive. Scarlet placed her hand against his chest, smiling as his breath caught. His eyes took on a mischievous look and he scooped her up in his arms. He walked over to the couch, never breaking the kiss. He sat down, pulling Scarlet onto his lap. She traced her fingers over his chest, around his biceps. Wolf's breathing turned erratic as she found the hem of his shirt and slipped her hand underneath it. Then he started kissing down her jawline, his soft hair tickling her chin. She tipped her head back, her breathing uneven. She closed her eyes in pleasure and sighed as Wolf nuzzled her neck. She could stay like this for ages-

A knock on the door startled them both. Scarlet sighed as she untangled herself from Wolf and stood. Wolf grabbed her wrist and tugged her down again, kissing her.

"Wolf," she groaned. "I have to answer the door."

"They can wait."

"I have to," she stood again. She laid a hand on his shoulder as he shot her a forlorn look. "Come on, we can continue this later." He brightened and quickly stood, then pulled Scarlet to the door. Laughing, she followed him.


A/N: I had planned to take this a lot further with many more one-shots, but the truth is my heart just isn't in this story anymore. I want to finish my Lux FanFic and start some new ones. I hope you enjoyed this last chapter. Sorry, but I think if I write more on this story without my heart in it, I feel like the writing quality will go down. For me, I write best when I am passionate about the subject. Don't get me wrong, I still love the Lunar Chronicles I just don't feel like I can keep writing this FanFic about it.
