DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TEEN WOLF I ONLY OWN MY OC'S

I lied to Stiles. I wasn't lying when I said I needed to leave, just when I said I was going home. As I approached my bike I put my helmet on and grabbed my keys out of my bag. As soon as I took off on my bike I headed in the familiar direction of Derek's house. I parked my bike in between a couple bushes about a half mile from his house, opting to walk the rest of the way instead of damaging my baby.

As I prepared myself as I walked up the steps but nothing could have prepared me for the sight I was greeted with when I opened the door. A very muscular back, glistening with sweat. I stopped in my tracks and lost my train of thought. I stared for a few seconds before shaking my head slightly and getting a hold of myself. I sat down on the stairs and waited for Derek to finish his workout. I knew from experience how annoying it is when someone interrupts your routine. I thought back to this morning when I fell off the bars thanks to Danny. Derek jumped down as he finished his workout. He was panting as he finally acknowledged my presence.

"You planning on saying something anytime soon or were you just gonna stare at me as I work out." He asked as he turned towards me. I faltered slightly at the sight of his toned torso before a wicked idea entered my head.

"I don't know..." I started playfully. "The view was pretty nice..."

He rolled his eyes before turning serious. "What are you really doing here, Avery?"

I sighed, knowing I wouldn't be able to avoid to forever. "I came to thank you."

His eyebrows drew together in confusion. "For what?"

"For not judging me on Friday night..." I said. "For not leaving..." I added in a whisper.

Derek slowly approached me. He made a move to touch me before he tensed completely.

"Hide." He said in a voice that I barely recognized as he looked me in the eyes.

Nodding I ran up the stairs and hid in the bedroom furthest from the stairs. Lucky for me the bedroom wasn't too destroyed by the fire. I looked around after I shut the door. The room smelled of Derek, and based on the unmade bed in the corner of the room, this was the room Derek was currently using. I noticed the windows on the back wall and ducked down. Looking out the window from my place on the ground, I noticed it was facing the back yard. I tried to imagine what it was like to live here when Derek was a kid. I could picture kids running around the back yard, the adults on the back porch laughing...Derek with a smile on his face... I smiled without realizing it.

"No one home." I suddenly heard a voice say downstairs. I tensed and the smile slipped off my face. I put all my focus into listening to the movements downstairs and staying as quiet as possible.

"Oh, he's here. He's just not feeling particularly hospitable." I heard a female voice say. I could already tell that she was a sadistic bitch.

"Maybe he's out burying a bone in the backyard." I heard the voice from before say.

"Really? A dog joke? We're going there, and that's the best you got? If you wanna provoke him, say something like, 'Too bad your sister 'bit it' before she had her first litter.'" The female stated calmly. I tensed. Hunters.

"Derek, I know you want to attack but we'll be safer if you calm down and stay hidden." I mumbled, knowing Derek could hear me.

"Too bad she howled like a bitch when we cut her in half!" The female voice yelled. Shit.

The house shook as Derek released a powerful growl. I could only listen as Derek fought the hunters. It was a few minutes before I actually heard words again.

"Wow. This one grew up in all the right places. I don't know whether to kill it or - lick it." The sadist said.

I fake gagged.

"900,000 volts. You never were good with electricity, were you? Or fire. Which is why I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. And, well, maybe we can help each other out. Yes, your sister was severed into pieces and used as bait to try to catch you. Unpleasant, and frankly, a little too Texas chainsaw massacre for my taste, but quite true. Now, here's the part that might really kick you in your new balls - We didn't kill her." The sadist rambled.

"You think I'm lying?" I heard her say seconds later.

I finally heard Derek speak for the first time since telling me to hide. "Wouldn't be the first time." He ground out.

"Tsk, sweetie - Well - Why don't you just listen to my heart and tell me if I am. Okay? We - didn't - kill - your - sister. Do you hear that? There's no blips or upticks. Just the steady beat of the cold, hard truth." The woman stated.

Silence.

"Found bite marks on your sister's body, Derek. What do you think did that? A mountain lion? Why aren't we helping each other out? You might as well admit what you've been guessing all along, which is - The Alpha killed your sister. And all you have to do is tell us who he is, and we'll take care of it for you. Problem solved, everybody goes home happy." The woman continued. As if that would fix everything.

"Unless - You don't know who he is either." The mystery woman said.

Again, silence.

"Wow. Guess who just became totally useless?" I heard her say just before hearing gun shots.

I bit into my lip to keep from making a sound. I vaguely saw a shape sprint off into the trees through the window. I realized it was Derek and calmed slightly. I removed my teeth from my bottom lip, tasting blood as I did so. I tensed once again as I heard footsteps on the stairs. Panicking, I ran as quietly as I could to the window. I opened it silently and looked back at the door at the sound of approaching footsteps.

Without looking down, I jumped out the window. I flipped through the air and closed my eyes as I prepare to hit the ground when suddenly I was caught around my waist and my legs were wrapped around the person's waist. I opened my eyes and recognized Derek's shirtless torso and bit my lip once again, unknowingly making it bleed even more. Derek ran through the woods until we were a good half mile away from his house. He slowed to a jog, then a walk before stopping completely. I slowly wrapped my legs from around his waist and he loosened his hold on me. I slid down his body until my feet hit the ground. My eyes were even with where his heart was. My hands were still on his back, as were his on my waist. We didn't move for what felt like minutes but was probably only seconds.

I slowly stepped away from him and got a good look at his chest. It was broad and muscular; well defined in all the right places. His jeans hung lower than usual, revealing the top of his hips. But what stood out the most were the developing welts there. I gasped and reached a hand forward to touch them when a hand grabbed my wrist. I finally looked at his face, concern flooding my eyes. Suddenly he released my wrist and grabbed my chin gently.

"You're bleeding." He stated.

I licked my lips and tasted the tell tale metallic taste of blood. I sighed and looked at my feet.

I cleared my throat and look back up at him. "I bit my lip too hard...It's a nervous habit of mine."

He frowned and gently ran his thumb over my lip. I sighed, closing my eyes, reveling in the sensation of his touch. When I opened them he was a lot closer than he was before. I looked up at his face, his green eyes bore straight into mine. I briefly glanced down at his lips before returning my gaze to his eyes and saw him do the same. He was hesitant, that much was obvious. His eyes searched my face for any trace of emotion. I rose slightly on my toes. That was all the confirmation he needed as in the next moment his lips were on mine. It was slow, tentative. His warm hands slid around my back. My arms moved on their own accord and wrapped themselves around his neck as I rose higher on to the tips of my toes, pulling him closer. Suddenly, Derek's hands were on the back of my thighs, lifting me up. I gasped and he took that as an opportunity to deepen the kiss. I instinctively wrapped my legs around his waist and adjusted my body so my head was slightly higher than his, deepening it even further. My hands automatically found themselves in his lush black hair. His tongue circled mine in an eternal dance. We were in an intimate battle for dominance. I tugged on his hair as his tongue explored my mouth. He growled and squeezed my ass. I gasped again and he bit my bottom lip before soothing the sting with his tongue. He gave one last little kiss to my bottom lip before pulling his lips away from mine. I rested my forehead on his as we both panted and gasped for air. My lungs were burning in the best way possible and I wasn't sure I wanted it to end. My eyes were still closed and I was trying to get my heart rate under control.

Still breathing heavily, Derek squeezed my ass one last time before gently lowering me to the ground. I sighed with content and buried my head in his chest, giving myself a moment to compose myself before looking at him. Apparently that wasn't what he wanted. His hand was once again on my chin and I couldn't conceal the shiver that ran through my body at the slightest touch. He lifted my chin so that I was looking at his face. My face and chest were red not from embarrassment but from lust. His once green eyes were now almost black, his pupils noticeably dilated. Lust and desire was coursing through my veins; one look into his dark, hooded eyes and I knew the feeling was mutual.

I looked away from his face, breaking eye contact. Looking at the sky, I noticed it was now starting to get dark.

"Shit." I exclaimed and glanced at my watch. 6:47

I looked back to Derek and was slightly hurt to see he'd once again steeled his emotions. All traces of what had occurred was gone, no indication what so ever.

"I gotta go." I forced out quickly before turning and retreating in what I thought was the direction of my bike. I didn't look back, but I could feel his eyes following me. I didn't stop until I found my bike 15 minutes later. It wasn't until I was on my bike that I let myself replay what had happened. I folded my arms on top of the handle bar and rested my head on top of them. My head was swimming with thoughts. My world was spinning fast, and I wasn't sure I could catch up with it.


AN: WOW! I really hoped you all liked this chapter. I spent about an hour and a half on that kiss scene alone, BUT IT WILL TOTALLY BE WORTH IT IF Y'ALL LIKE IT! Anyway, as I said last chapter, this episode has been split into parts. The third and final part of this episode will be posted on 12/25. I'm going to go ahead and apologize in advance for that chapter. I never meant for what happens in that chapter to happen, it just did. Anyway, if you liked it, don't forget to follow, favorite, and review!
