Chapter 8:
Chloe's POV:
I woke up at about 4 in the morning it was still pitch black out and the bed was empty. A noise came from the window seat I turned and saw Derek's looming frame by the window he was hunched over before he stood back up stretching his back I heard a sickening pop and knew what was going on.
"Derek" I whispered angrily he jumped slightly turning towards me
"Go back to sleep baby" He said softly walking towards the bed. I shook the covers off my body still sitting in the bed. I had taken off my shorts so I sat there, only Derek's giant shirt hiding my body from him
"Get me a pair of jeans" I commanded pointing to my bag in the corner that had yet to be unpacked. He chuckled softly and nodded "Why didn't you tell me?" I sighed running my fingers threw my now loose hair, it was greasy. I need a shower. "How long have you been putting this off?" I tried to remember the last time he had changed in my mind and I couldn't remember
"Since that close call about a month ago, but I have only needed it this last two weeks or so" He said softly handing my the jeans, some socks and my black converse
"Derek" I groaned kicking on the jeans they fit snuggly on my thighs and butt. I gasped kicking my foot at him as I buttoned the jeans "These are your favorites. You know if they get dirty I won't wear them for a while" I smirked
"It is worth seeing you in them even if my shirt will cover your perfect little ass" he smirked running his hands up my thighs kissing me gently, but we both felt the ripple of his back muscles
"Let's go" I smiled yanking on my socks and shoes, Randomly Derek decided he wanted to tie my shoes so he took my foot and tied my right shoe as I put on my left. "You're crazy you know that" I ran my fingers threw his soft long hair it hung to about his cheekbones and jaw, but it no longer brushed his shoulder like when we had first met. "I think I might cut my hair" I said tugging on a piece of my now long hair. It brushed all the way to the bottom of my breasts kinda the tops of my ribs, but the layers Tori put in ended about my shoulders making it look pretty good
"No" Derek growled leaning forward to run his fingers threw my hair. I cringed remembering how greasy my hair was. "What?" he asked smiling before absentmindedly rubbing his rippling arm
"My hair is greasy" I muttered standing up off our bed, testing the way he had tied my shoes. Perfect, as always. "Now come on wolfie you need to change" I took his hand as we made our way silently out of the room and out of the house. I sighed in relief once outside and said "You can't put this off anymore. You know that D, it hurts you to put it off" I said looking up at him as we began making our way into a wooded area
"I know I know" He rumbled before adding "but everyone else was so nervous after that close call, and there was no where really wooded areas, and…"
"No" I cut him of once we were submerged in the forest "You mean far to much to me. No buts you need to start thinking of your own want's and need's Derek. I don't want you going threw any more pain from stalling what is natural." I rubbed his forearms "Ok?" I asked looking into his brilliant green eyes
"Yes Chloe" he smiled down at me before leaning down to give me a quick peck "Does that mean I'm allowed to pursue my sexual want's and need's?" He asked his hands slithering down to cup my butt threw my jeans his lips just brushing against mine
I squeaked when he gave a tight squeeze making my shiver. Touching his chest I pushed back a bit before saying "Perhaps after you change"
"Fine" He picked me up squeezing my butt as he did so
"You know I can walk right?" I asked wrapping my arms and legs around him
"I know but I like this position so much better" he smirked kissing my nose, while looking for a place to change. I kissed his neck gently and felt horrible as his muscles began ,once again, spasming underneath my body and fingers. He needed to change regularly, but of course he always put it off taking care of Simon, his dad, and me first. Then when it was to the point of causing him pain he would get me and we would go let him change. He is so stupid about something's
"I love you" I told him softly kissing his neck just as we appeared in a pretty good-sized clearing
"I love you too baby" He said sweetly smiling at me as we let go of one another. He pulled off his hoodie I bit my lip seeing every rippling muscle his chest possessed. I was tempted to go up and begin kissing that godly chest but restrained myself. The sweatshirts was placed on the soft ground "Sit" he commanded gently. Plopping down onto the warm grey material I silently looked up at him waiting. Next his pants slid off and he walked behind me most likely to remove his boxers. I turned to see him crouched and in a moment or two he seamlessly transformed into my large black wolf.
"There's my puppy" I said excitedly Derek rolled his eyes and walked over to me. Rubbing his large head against my face and chest he finally sat down his head resting in my lap as I scratched behind his ears gently "Go for a run I'll be right here waiting for you" I said pressing his head out of my lap as I laid down on his jacket enjoying the cool summer breeze and all the bright twinkling stars.
Derek's POV:
I glanced at Chloe before taking off into the woods I decided to do about 50 laps around the outside of the little clearing. I can work my muscles out and guard Chloe secretly at the same time. My nose was close to the ground I was pushing my muscles to their limit it felt so good, natural almost, to stretch and work the kinks out in this way. Chloe always seemed to know exactly what I needed, and I really needed this. After about an hour of running I went back into the clearing to see Chloe dozing lightly on my sweatshirt.
Her long strawberry blonde hair was splayed out around her like a golden halo, her pale skin looked like perfect cream in the early morning light, and her body looked perfect in those evil jeans and my oversized shirts. I licked my lips I accidentally licked my nose also, that's when I remembered I was still in wolf form. Chloe made me forget everything.
It took about 60 seconds for my to painlessly transition back into my human form "That sure is easier" I muttered standing up naked as the day I was born. I walked to my boxers and quickly slid them on followed by my Levi's. I slowly walked over to Chloe and kneeled down beside her "Chloe, honey wake up" I whispered rubbing her thin arms just as the first rays of sunlight burst threw the trees casting glittering pinpoint all over the both of us. "Chloe wake up" I rubbed her face and was greeted with the beautiful sight of this blue eyes fluttering open. "Morning baby" I smiled kissing her lips softly
"Morning D" She yawned stretching and turning exposing her pale stomach where my shirt had ridden up significantly. Unable to resist, I leaned down kissing all over her stomach even tracing her belly button with my tongue. A giggling mess she squirmed under my lips pulling on my hair while she murmured "That feels good" when my tongue darted out to trace her belly button
I could practically feel her body heating up, and I could almost taste the heavy desire on her skin. Being the gentlemen, I told myself, I am I pulled away picking her and my sweatshirt up off the ground. "Let's go get some breakfast it has to be close to 6" I said hugging her gently as her feet securely touched the ground
"Tease" she muttered running her hands down my bare chest
"Babe you're one to talk" I smirked slipping on my sweatshirt over my head my smiled down at her poking my head out of the shirt "Let's head in" I muttered yanking her onto my back. She squealed but didn't fight me only settled into my hold kissing my neck and chatting idly as we walked back to the house.
I threw open the back door and carried Chloe into the kitchen she was still perched on my back as we walked in I asked "So Chlo what do you want to have for breakfast?"
"Well I'll have whatever she is making" Chloe said pointing her finger. I was startled to find a woman a few years younger than dad standing in the kitchen her head cocked at both of us. She was very pretty long brown curls fell just past her shoulders down her back, she had big hazel eyes and was quite tan. "Hello I'm Chloe and this is Derek" Chloe said slowly pressing up higher on my back to catch a better glimpse at the woman. "How did you not hear her?" Chloe asked whispering in my ear
"You were distracting me" I grumbled deep in my chest.
The woman's face light up into a smile and she said quickly "I'm Maybelle and Kit has told me so much about you two and the others" she smirked looking pointedly at us "but especially you two"
"You're accent is so cute" Chloe giggled hearing Maybelle's extreme twang
"Thanks shug" she smiled walking back to the stove "Now I'm makin some toast, with cheesy grits, sausage links, and some bacon. That sound good to y'all" she smiled at us moving back to a large pot on the stove.
The scent of food hit my nose and my stomach rumbled loudly "Sounds great" I heard my voice thunder
"What are grits?" Chloe asked looking positively curious
"You really are from the city aren't ya shuga bee" Maybelle smiled at Chloe gently "It is kinda like oatmeal but much better" the older woman smiled. "Come 'er shug" Maybelle's tan hand waved Chloe closer to her and the stove
"Go" I chuckled pushing Chloe towards Maybelle as I took a seat behind the bar, on one of the tall bare stools, and watched the two females interact in the kitchen.
"Here try 'em" Maybelle said dipping a metal spoon into the simmering pot of pale grits
Chloe looked slightly scared "What is it?" she asked looking at the thick substance on the spoon
"Corn, butter, milk, and cheese I'm assuming" I laughed at my girlfriend, while Maybelle nodded her head shooting me a good job look. "Chloe, baby just try it you can spit it out if you don't like it. I'm sure Maybelle wouldn't be mad" I said giving her a look that said just-try-the-damn-grits
"He's right. If you don't like it just spit it in the sink" Maybelle laughed holding out the now slightly cooled down spoon towards Chloe's lips
"O-ok" Chloe stuttered before wrapping her lips around the spoon she pulled back eyes wide before swallowing "Those are really good" she said smiling softly
I couldn't help laughing at her "Always my little kitten" I laughed feeling my stomach ache slightly from laughing do hard
"Shut up Derek" she huffed walking over the slap my forearm pathetically
"Aww is my little kitten fussy" I smirked wrapping her in a hug and bring her in between my legs as I sat on the stool
"Y'all are good together" Maybelle smirked "real good" was all she said as she turned back to her simmering pot
"We get that a lot" Chloe muttered blushing brightly before laying her head on my chest
I placed one of my hands on the dip of Chloe's back the other was placed on her ass. One my hands were situated I yanked her up into my lap making her squeal softly, which made Maybelle laugh hysterically
"Are y'all excited school starts in 4 days?" Maybelle asked smiling back over her shoulder at us
"I hate school" Derek grumbled lowly in my hair puling me closer to his body
"You'll be fine" I smiled smoothing my hands across his large biceps "Especially since everything worked itself" I laughed softly making Derek growled. "Gotta take what you dish babe" I teased softly patting his cheek
"Preach sista Chloe" Maybelle hollered dancing around the kitchen
It was very true though. Just like me, Derek had develop very, very, nicely these last few months. He didn't perspire nearly as much as he used to he only had to shower once a day if not every other day now. Trimming his hair helped show off his strong square jaw that now sported the occasional stubble, the short hair revealed his full berry colored lips that I loved so much, it also helped to show of the straight nose he had always possessed, but the main thing trimming his hair had done was reveal those riveting green eyes that always captivated me. Derek's face was fully cleared up and spotless, his now clear skin was a nice medium tan that made me seem pale, and he had grown to be about 6' 5" a full 4 inches taller than the giant Simon. The main thing though was Derek's body. It seemed like every muscle on his body had doubled in size, but in a good very sexy way. His whole body was covered in lean rippling muscles that seemed ready to burst from his flawless skin. He was handsome in a brooding, mysterious, linebacker kinda way. He had become perfection, but of course he didn't see himself the way I saw him.
"You'll be fine" I said turning so my legs were wrapped around him and my back was pressed into the counter. Immediately Derek's arms wrapped around my back so the counter no longer dug into my spin. Chuckling I spread my hands across his broad chest before I said "I'll be batting the girls off you left and right" I glanced up into those deep green eyes before I added "Should I be worried?"
"Never" He muttered leaning forward to kiss my lips gently "You know that"
his smiled was like butter. It spread smoothly across his face tugging up those luscious lips I trembled gazing at his lips and mumbled "I like hearing you say it"
An airy giggled snapped me from my world turned my head and watched as Maybelle sat two large helping in front of us on the counter "Y'all are just cuter than the bee's knees" she gushed flipping a towel at us as she walked off back to her simmering food
I turned and distantly recognized that I heard footsteps on the stairs. Derek resituated us as I grabbed a fork and began getting a bite of the grits. All of a sudden Tori's voice filled my ears "CHLOE! I need to speak with you know" She yanked me out of Derek's hold with surprising force and began dragging me to the door
"My breakfast" I whined stomping my foot as Derek laughed at me sending me a wink
"You can get more" Tori hissed dragging me out the back door with a slam.
