A/N: It's not a long chapter, but I thought they needed some alone time- enjoy!

Reviews are (as always) very much appreciated!

Kim turned her face into the mattress with a groan, the pillow clutched in her arms a poor substitute for Jared's body.

She lifted her head and glanced at the clock, letting out a little whine of frustration at the red numbers that indicated it was almost two in the morning and she still hadn't managed more than a few minutes of sleep.

The pillow was tossed to the floor with her long discarded sheets as she sat up, brushing away the hair that was stuck to the clammy surface of her face and neck as she dragged herself to the wide open window, hanging the top half of her body out in a desperate attempt to catch any whisper of a breeze.

The air was sultry and thick, and she pulled at the collar of the oversized vest she was using to sleep in, flapping the material as she tried to cool her body.

"Kim?" her whispered name caught her attention and she turned her head to find Jared stalking from the shadows, his shorts hastily pulled on and hanging precariously loose on his hips. "Hey baby, what are you doing awake?"

Kim smiled as he leaned forward to press his lips to hers, the tip of his tongue teasing the seam of her lips before pulling away.

"I'm too damn hot!" she sighed, flapping her top again. "I just can't get comfortable and I need to sleep- I've got an exam tomorrow! What are you doing here anyway?"

Jared shrugged and gripped her waist in his hands, "I ran past to check on you on my way home and heard you whining," he grinned. "Thought I'd come and see what the problem was."

"I don't suppose you have some super werewolf ability to make people fall asleep that you forgot to mention, do you?" Kim whined and he chuckled, shaking his head.

"Sorry baby, that I can't do, but I can take you out for a run if you want?" her head popped up and he smiled, backing away from the window and enjoying the glassy look in his imprints eyes as he shamelessly dropped his shorts and fell forward onto his paws.

He shook out his fur and stepped closer to the window, watching carefully as Kim pulled herself onto the sill and slipped her leg over his back.

"I'm not sure how this is going to help?" she mumbled, leaning into his too warm body, threading her fingers into the pelt at his neck. "You run to hot."

The Jared wolf turned his head and snorted, stepping into a slow trot towards the trees to let her get used to the movement before he broke out into a run.

Kim groaned as the wind they generated whipped her face. She tightened the grip her knees had on his torso and leaned back, relishing the cool air on her body.

Jared suddenly darted to the side, making her wobble and quickly lean back into him, her shocked giggle lost in his fur.

Her eyes fell shut as she rested her head on his shoulders, a soft sigh passing her lips and her entire body melting into his as he slowed his pace back down. "I think I could fall asleep right here."

The sound of his soft pants and the steady rhythm of his pulse under her fingers lulled her into a light sleep, still vaguely aware of the trees rushing by and the sudden changes in the wolfs movements as he dodged and hopped obstacles in their path.

The brown wolf slowed to a complete stop as he broke into a clearing near the cliffs, his nose lifting to scent the sea air before he dropped gently to his stomach.

Kim stirred groggily as she felt the wolf twist underneath her, sitting up and cracking her eyelids to find Jared grinning up at her.

Her cheeks flushed pink as she looked down his body to where she straddled his naked hips and she raised a questioning eyebrow at him as he pushed himself up to sit.

"I'm beginning to think that there was an ulterior motive to you getting me out here?" she said, pursing her lips as he shrugged nonchalantly, suppressing his grin as he shifted his legs and folded them underneath her.

"I haven't spent any time alone with you since last week-" his hands found her knees and slipped up her thighs until he gripped her hips, pulling her a little closer. "Can you blame me?"

"What do you mean? You spent the past two nights at my house!" she huffed and he dropped his head back with a sigh.

"You have no idea how much that doesn't count-" he whined. "I could handle your mom putting me on the couch, at least then I could sneak into your room once everyone's asleep, but putting me in with Alex? She's using a five year old as a contraceptive- it's not fair! There's no way I can compete with that."

"And here I thought you were trying to help me get ready for my exams tomorrow morning," she grumbled, folding her arms across her chest. "I need to be well rested and relaxed."

"Well it's gone two in the morning, so there's not much I can do about the well rested part-" Jared tugged her arms open and dropped them at her sides, leaning forward to press his lips against her exposed collar bone as his fingers tickled under her vest and up her back. "But I can definitely help you relax."

Kim's head fell back, opening her throat to his mouth, a small hiss bubbling behind her lips as his thumbs swept over her pebbled nipples.

Jared gripped the hem of her shirt and dragged it up her body, prizing his lips from her skin long enough to pull it over her head and toss it somewhere behind them.

"We…not here…oh god!" her eyes squeezed shut, her hips rolling over his erection as his lips descended on her breasts. "Someone might see…shit!"

"No one's been here in hours, I checked-" he ground out, bucking into her, seeking out friction in her heat. "And I'll hear if anyone else is coming."

She nodded in acquiescence, gripping his head in her hands and pulling his mouth back to hers, her legs looping around his waist as they thrust into each other.

His hands fell back to her hips and he tugged at the bands of her underwear, fingers hooking at the sides as he readied himself to tear them away.

"Don't-" Kim said suddenly. "If you tear anymore of my panties, I won't have any left!"

"Would that really be such a bad thing?" he asked, tugging them a little harder and Kim huffed, pushing her self from his lap and he groaned at the loss. "No- come back!"

Kim snorted at his childishness, shaking her head as she pushed her underwear down her legs and kicked them away. "I swear to god, you better tell me if someone's coming or it'll be the last time we ever…"

Jared was on his knees in front of her, tongue laving at the dip of her hip as his hand slid through the damp curls between her legs.

"Hmm- what was that?" he teased as his fingers sank into her body, guiding her back onto his lap when her knees began to wobble.

"Forgot!" she sighed, clutching at his shoulders, mewling as the heel of his hand pressed relentlessly against her sensitive nub. "Ung- just like that!"

She let out a small groan when his fingers slipped away from her, brow furrowed and mouth open to protest the loss as he centered her over his groin, tugging at his disheveled hair as he lowered her onto his shaft deliberately.

"Been way too fucking long!" he growled as his hands roamed her naked back, his mouth finding hers- soft nips and gentle tugs in time with deep thrusts.

"Too long!" she agreed, stiffening momentarily as he guided her down onto her back, leaf litter scratching at her bare skin and rustling under her head.

Jared moved his grip from her waist to her wrists, stretching her arms up above her head, his mouth attaching to the top of her breast and his tongue tracing invisible patterns as she arched into him.

Kim pulled her knees up, her ankles locking at his waist as he pistoned in and out, driving her over the edge into her orgasm quicker than she'd wanted, slowing his pace to a near complete stop as she fluttered and pulsed around him.

"God, I love it when you do that!" he pressed his lips hard against hers and she winced uncomfortably as he shifted, sliding slowly back into her.

Jared relinquished his hold on her wrists, her hands gripping his shoulders as his found her thighs, pressing them further apart and giving them a gentle squeeze before bringing his thumb to his mouth and wetting it on his tongue.

"One more time for me babe." he whispered, slipping his hand between their sweat slicked bodies and finding her clit.

"No, no it's too much!" she protested, trying to press back into the solid ground. "It's not gonna work."

"Don't you trust me, Kimmy?" Jared crooned, pecking at her lips. "Relax and let me take care of you, I promise it'll work."

Kim nodded and softened the death grip her thighs had on his hips, a soft sigh escaping her lips as his thumb resumed light circles against her nub and his erection twitched inside her.

He circled his hips, picking up as his pace again as he began to slide in and out, his breath ragged as he gripped her hip with bruising force and dropped his forehead onto her chest.

Mumbled profanities slipped through his lips as Kim scratched at his shoulders- her walls fluttering round him.

"Shit-come on babe." Jared groaned and with a last flex of his hips she unraveled underneath him, dragging him with her with a shout.

"Ohmygod!" Kim breathed, bringing her hand down a little to hard over her eyes as her chest heaved, her body aching and already protesting under Jared's dead weight. "Get off me!"

"That's the thanks I get?" he smirked tiredly as he lifted the top half of his body off of her, giving her enough room to push herself up on to his elbows.

"Holy shit!" A voice rang out from behind them and Jared threw himself down on Kim as she whipped her head around to locate its origin, grunting under the force the force of his body pressing down on top of her.

"Collin? What the hell, dude!" Jared seethed, scooping his imprint into his arms to shield her as best he could as her brother covered his eyes and turned away from them.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Collin pleaded. "Jesus Christ you have no idea how sorry I am! I just- I was on patrol and I heard someone cry out in pain, at least I thought it was pain. Obviously I was wrong!"

"Just go away Cole!" Kim begged, curling herself into Jared.

"Yep sure, I'm just gonna-" Collin darted back through the trees and Jared dropped his head onto her shoulder.

She felt him shaking and it took her a couple of seconds to realize that he was laughing.

"Why are you laughing? My brother- your pack mate, just found us naked and post coital in the middle of the damn forest!" she chastised. "It's not funny!"

"Well I don't think I have anything to be ashamed about and it's not like he's never seen my bare ass before- one of the drawbacks of being a werewolf I guess. And you-" he lifted back off her and dragged his eyes down her naked body. "You definitely have nothing to be ashamed about!"

"It was my little brother, Jared!" she hissed. "Find my damn shirt."

Jared pushed himself to his feet, grabbing his shorts and tugging them on as he walked over to where her tank top lay in a crumpled heap, picking it up and returning to where she now stood dressed in her underwear.

"Just be grateful he wasn't a few minutes earlier, that would have been a bit of a mood killer!" he exclaimed and ducked away from Kim's flailing hand as she made to slap him.

He pulled her shirt over her head and she squealed as he flipped her into his arms and began walking back into the direction of the house.

"So- same time tomorrow?"
