I SOOOOOOOO DON'T DESERVE MY EPICAL (THNX FOR THE NEW WORD ILYGODOT) REVIEWERS. I LOVE YOU ALL.
--------------------------------------CHLOE POV-----------------------------------------------------
AS much as he had hurt me, I was very glad to have my Derek back.
The next morning, I wandered downstairs in my pajamas, looking for breakfast. I found cereal in the kitchen along with Derek.
I tried to sneak up on him but I failed, epically.
"What are you doing Chloe?" he asked without moving at all.
"Damn it." I swore and he raised his eyebrows. "What?" I asked him as he finally turned around.
"You never swear Chloe, what were you trying to do just now?" he pressed. I felt blood fill my face.
"Nothing." I muttered, embarrassed. Of course that only made him more curious.
"Chloe." He snapped gently. (How was that even possible?)
And just like that I broke. Was it even legal to have so much control over your mate? I doubt ed there were even laws about mates. "I was trying to sneak up on you." I admitted, my face kept heating up.
He touched my face gently. Everything he did was gentle. He frowned "Why ere you trying to sneak up on me?"
I shrugged, sure my face could have cooked eggs. His eyes went lively and full of mischief. He placed his hands on either side of my hips, cornering me.
"Don't ever be afraid to tell me something, Chloe, you must know that I love you and will never laugh or do anything to hurt you." His mouth was less then an inch away from my ear. I repressed a shiver at his proximity.
"I know." I breathed back.
"Are you sure?" He used one hand to lightly, very lightly trace my lips, as light as a butterflies kiss.
He lowly licked his lips. My control broke, I wanted to kiss him so badly. His eyes seemed to be laughing and daring me. So I leaned up and pressed my mouth to his. His arms wrapped around me with a welcoming warmth.
He chuckled when I finally pulled back.
"She's got you whipped Dude." Philip noticed with a laugh from the door. He held hands with Rachel who was leaning against the doorframe glaring at us.
I couldn't understand why a nice guy like Philip would see a bitch like Rachel.
"Okay, lets keep it PG-13 from now on, we've got children now. And that was defiantly R." Tori said from the counter.
I was pretty sure my face was about to catch on fire, but Derek was looking totally fine. Since when did he have the experience to make me forget my name? He had seduced me without even trying. He had to have had a girlfriend.
Simon came in. He stared at our position for a few seconds, his eyes full of anger and cold calculation. He let his gaze stray to my chest. They lingered there.
I looked down and realized I was still in my pajamas, tight black tee-shirt and dmini- shorts. My face flushed more.
"Chloe you look like a tomato." Tori observed, biting into an apple.
Derek caught my gaze and growled slightly at Simon. He shifted his body, hiding mine with his huge form.
"Can we take a walk?" I whispered to him. He nodded, still staring down Simon.
We left through the back door, grabbing our shoes and coats on our way. Simon wolf-whistled as we passed and once again Derek growled, this time very low and very threatening.
When we reached the bottom step of the porch, Derek took my hand in his big one. Our breath made puffs in the clear, cold air, and leaves crunched underfoot. The air smelled fresh, like cold lake water and pine, and dead leaves, a breath of mountain air.
I shoved my hands in my baby blue puff jacket and walked ahead of Derek. I wondered what I was going too say, how would I bring up the subject of maybe ex- girlfriends. (They had better be ex, or Derek was dead.)
A skeleton of a bird flew into my face and I shrieked as the stink of rotting flesh reached my nose. I tried to claw it away unsuccessfully.
Then Derek was there. In one calm movement he ripped the bird from my slightly scratched but otherwise fine face. I released its poor spirit after I had caught my breath.
"Tense, Little One?" Derek asked with raised eyebrows as we made our way into the cathedral of a forest.
The great red trees made pillers that stretched far beyond our heads, the great branches made a roof, which kept out sounds but let in light. The moss and leaves made a carpet on which we walked. The few sounds that were made muffled and echoed.
It was the kind of place where silence was hard to break. It was simply timeless.
"Just a b-bit." I laughed nervously "Derek, have you ever lied to m-me?" I asked, wiping my sweating hands on my shorts.
His eyes began to smolder as he lifted my hands above my head.
"I have never lied to you, you're my mate, why would I ever lie to you? What brought this on?" he asked, still trapping to a tree.
But before I could answer, he was staring behind me, growling.
Five figures emerged from the mist. My mother and Aunt Lauren's ghost were leading two werewolves, Ramon and Liam. And behind them, a beautiful girl stood, watching Derek's expression.
"Sorry Chloe, I had to do something to stop the mistake you were making. The werewolves will kill the mutt and you'll be free from his control. You can date the nice sorcerer, Simon." My mother said. "Remember, Mommy knows best."
Liam and Ramon advanced.
The beautiful girl just watched Derek with a fathomless gaze.
