Thanks so much for the Birthday wishes! I had a Great one and your reviews made it even better!! I actually turned 19... to the person who thought it was 20... I just put 19 on my page already because I was going to be it in a couple of days anyway. Haha. I am so glad you guys enjoyed the last chapter... I know you'll like this one for sure... at least the beginning anyway... Oh and this has nothing to do with the story or the show... but I just wanted to let you know that the movie "Knowing" is totally not worth seeing, unless you like stupid endings... Ok, so here's the next chapter. I know you're dying to read it. Have fun. =]
Chapter 7
A Huge Mistake
Derek deepened the kiss between them as his hands moved up her body and cupped her face. Casey moaned against his lips and she could feel him smiling as he kissed her harder. He began to push her back against the bed, their lips only parting for gasps of breath. His body was now slightly on top of hers and Casey couldn't help but feel his chest as she wrapped her arms around him. His lips parted, begging for more of her mouth. Casey hesitated for a second until she could feel his tongue on hers. He doesn't taste that bad. She had to admit. She could feel his hands begin to roam her form as they snaked up and down her back. He pressed harder against her so that there was hardly any space between them. When his hands began to lift her shirt, Casey flinched at the touch of his fingers on her bare skin. They were moving up her back slowly as they continued to kiss and a red light suddenly flashed on in her mind. What are you doing?! You're making out with your stepbrother! This is so wrong! She scolded herself. His mouth moved away from hers as he began to kiss her jaw then her neck. She groaned. Then why does it feel so right? He pressed even harder against her body, closing any gap that remained between them, grinding his hips into hers and kissed her even deeper on the lips. No, no, no! I can't do this! He is going way too fast! I am not ready for this! Especially with him! Her mind screamed as she tried to push him away. Derek didn't get the hint however and continued to kiss her with even more passion. She had to admit that this was the best kissing experience she had ever had and it scared her. We have to stop! Even if he does kiss amazingly...
"Derek..." She spoke against his lips as she shoved her hands against his chest.
"Mmm." He moaned as he began to kiss her neck again.
"Derek, please... you need to stop." Her voice squeaked as she tried not to think of the jolt of pleasure his lips sent through her body with every touch.
He looked into her eyes for the first time since they had been kissing and there was something in them... It wasn't just lust... It was more... Passion... and desire... But this is Derek we're talking about here! He hates me like I hate him... Do you really hate him, Casey?
"What's the matter?" His voice finally asked.
"This is wrong."
"You didn't seem to think so a minute ago..." He smirked his adorable smirk.
Wait... adorable smirk? What happened to hideous smirk...?
"I can't do this, Derek, WE can't do this."
His face fell and there was sadness in his eyes, "Why not?"
Why not? Why not? I will tell you Why Not! For one: You are my step-brother, I am your step-sister, which means that our parents are married! Two: I am not ready for this! You are going way too fast! And Three... well... three is... It's just wrong!
"You know why." She whispered as she looked away from his brown eyes.
"It's not like we're blood related or anything... This kind of thing happens all the time, Case..."
"It's not just that..." She said as she pushed him off of her. She couldn't stand to feel his body on top of hers anymore. They both sat up beside each other on the end of the bed and Casey stared at the floor.
"What is it then?" He asked.
"I've never..." she began but didn't know how to say it to him. "I... I'm saving myself, Derek." She breathed out a long breath.
"Saving yourself for what?"
"Marriage."
"What?"
She looked at him and his eyes were wide.
"I don't want to be... intimate... with someone until I am married."
"Why?" He was looking at her like she was retarded or something.
"Because I promised myself that I would, ok! I am not like you where you jump any girl you deem worthy of hotness!"
She glared at him and realized she had hurt him as he dropped his head and turned from her.
"Wow, Casey... You think you really know me..." He said sarcastically.
"You can't tell me that you have never done it before!"
"To be honest... I haven't..."
"What?" Now it was her turn for wide eyes.
"I've had plenty of chances but I could never do it..."
"But the way you talk about it all the time..."
"I lied."
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why would you pass up the opportunity to do it if you've had the chance? I don't get it..."
"I don't know... I guess... I kind of envisioned myself doing it with someone I really care about and not just some dumb bimbo..."
Casey was completely shocked with how honest Derek was being and then suddenly it dawned on her. He had been trying to do it with me... Does Derek...? No... That's crazy... But then why...? Is Derek in love with me?
"What's wrong?" Derek asked. He had obviously seen the shocked expression on Casey's face as she stared off in space. "Casey?"
She looked at him and her eyes were serious, "This was a mistake. It was all just a huge mistake."
"What was?"
"You... and me..."
"Are you telling me that you only kissed me accidentally? That you were accidentally feeling up my chest and moaning against my mouth...?"
Casey nodded, "I was caught up in the moment, I wasn't thinking straight..."
Derek leaned towards her face, "So you felt nothing between us just now?"
"No." She lied.
His lips then pressed against hers again and Casey's whole body tingled at the touch and then he pulled away and stared into her eyes, "So that means nothing to you?"
Casey hesitated before slowly shaking her head, "I'm sorry, Derek."
Derek's face suddenly changed as his eyes grew darker and he looked straight ahead, "There's nothing to apologize about. I feel the same way."
"You do?" She didn't believe him.
He looked directly at her, "You're right; it was all just a huge mistake. I didn't feel a thing either."
He looked so serious that Casey actually believed him and a part of her was actually hurting inside from his words. Why does that upset you? You should feel relieved...
Casey was about to say something else when they heard George's voice suddenly shout down to them, "We're home and we brought dinner! You guys can come up now."
Casey and Derek both sighed as they looked away from each other and stood up from the bed at the same time.
"You better grab a shirt... We want them to think we've been getting along and not having chocolate fights..." Casey suggested as she took one last glance at Derek's chest.
* * *
"I thought we had been getting along." Derek mumbled as he headed over to his father's dresser to grab a clean shirt until he could change into his own.
As he opened the drawer, Derek watched Casey stand up and adjust her hair and clothing. He could still feel her on his lips. She tasted like vanilla. It sent shivers of pleasure down his spine as he thought about that kiss. He had lied of course, and not only to Casey but to himself. After kissing her the way he had, Derek realized that he did have feelings for Casey but when she'd said she felt nothing in return, it felt like she had kicked him again. Hard.
The way she had kissed me back... I was sure she felt the same... Maybe she's afraid...? This is really sudden and I guess a little awkward considering our parents are married to each other... Derek groaned. You Idiot! Why did you have to go fall for Casey of all people?! WHY?
"You better hurry; we don't want them getting suspicious." Casey said from behind him.
"Suspicious of what?" Derek snapped as he yanked out a red t-shirt and slammed the drawer.
"Are you mad at me?" Casey asked as she took a step towards him, and then stepped back.
"No." Derek replied as he pulled the shirt over his head, avoiding her eyes.
"All right then... But remember... if we don't want to be stuck in this basement any longer we have to act like everything is fine between us. Got it?"
"Sure, whatever." He said as he walked past her.
* * *
Casey sighed as she watched Derek leave the room and ascend the flight of stairs. I'm doing the right thing... I was just caught up in the moment... He is a great kisser after all... Her mind went back to how his lips felt on hers and how smooth his chest was beneath her hands. Snap out of it, Casey! It was a mistake! It was all just a huge mistake and it will never ever happen again! Casey told herself as she shook her head and made her way to the stairs. Now all we have to do is play it cool and everything will be fine... But will I be fine...?
I know it was pretty short but that's the way it had to be. I hope it wasn't too bad... You at least got more of the kiss... So review and let me know what you thought! Like I alwas say, and I mean it, I love reading your reviews!! =D Thanks again for the b-day wishes!!
