A/N: Thank you all for the reviews, they were all really sweet!

I've been holding off on this chapter, for more reasons than one, but the majority of it being embarrassed about the dirty scene.

Enjoy!


"Well, it is partially the burning desire to fuck you, but that's probably just human nature, repopulate the earth type of shit. But that—" She huffed and took off towards the shore, we weren't far out so it didn't take long.

"Chloe?" What the hell did I say this time? Perhaps I was too rash with her, it was hard to tell what would tick her off. I looked down at the raised appendage and groaned, this was going to be a nightmare.

"That's not why I kissed you," I hollered at the disappearing figure.

Week 43

I didn't get very far before I realized I left all my clothing outside, and I knew I risked looking foolish for going back. I'm not even sure as to why I got mad, I was completely blindsided that he felt the same way. The reaction was unexpected as well, every molecule in my body felt like it had caught on fire, from my chin where his fingers tenderly touched, to the tip of my toes. Just thinking about it brought back the butterflies in my stomach, what would have happened if I didn't stop it? Why did I stop it?

I turned towards the tunnel that leads to the upper level, it was too dark to really see anything, Derek must have forgotten to light the torches. I stood there and considered my options, go up the dark, creepy tunnel butt naked or go back outside and grab my clothes and face Derek.

My body made its mind up on its own, too busy arguing with myself and before I knew it, I was standing outside the waterfall, shivering in the moonlight. Derek stood by the rocks leading to the trails, his lower half still being concealed by the water. My eyes scanned the darkened forest for any sign of my clothes, I can't really remember where I put them exactly. I wasn't in the right mind before I decided to swim.

A couple weeks ago, or possibly months by now, I found these berries that gave me a high, I ate too much the first time and passed out. Earlier today when Derek and I had yet another disagreement, I went out for a walk and found more of them, and ate a few. They're well worn off by now, but remembering what happened between is tough. I felt that I deserved a day to celebrate, and I don't see any liquor store anywhere nearby.

"Chloe? You're shivering, what are you doing?" I snapped out of my daze and looked up at Derek.

"My-my clothes are here," I scratched aimlessly at my forearm, trying with all my might to remember the slightest clue as to where I put them. Derek shuffled closer towards shore and grabbed something hanging off of the rocks.

"Put these on and go sit by the fire, it should still be burning." I caught the flying target and sighed with relief at the sight of my well worn shorts.

"It's not, the torches aren't even lit…" I quickly slipped my clothes on as Derek stepped out of the water. The moonlight seemed to dance across his chest, reflecting off the tiny dots of water. With his back turned towards me I could peak as long as I wanted, that was until he put his shorts back on.

"Are you asking for my help?" he turned towards me before I could look away from staring at his butt. The corner of his mouth twitched as he fought a smile, but eventually a slow sly smile appeared.

"I can't see anything in the dark, so, yes, I guess I am."

"I need you to ask me."

"Why?"

"Because I do." He gave me a straight face and then looked back out at the water, watching something.

"Fine. Derek, will you please help me get to the caves safely." I mumbled.

"Of course," Derek said before grabbing my hand, and started guiding me through the dark cave. We fell into an awkward silence, my head was still spinning from the kiss earlier, and how I royally fucked it up. I wanted to talk about it, but how? Aunt Lauren would be caught dead before ever having an open conversation about boys with me. Besides, I'm twenty-three years old, I should be able to have a conversation with a guy that I've been having wild fantasies about… right?

Derek slowed before reaching the steep section, he maneuvered me so that I was now in between him and the tunnel. It's an understatement to say my heart was beating a million miles per minute, and I knew I wanted something to happen, but I was also scared to take that jump.

"The rest of the way is lit, I'll be right behind you if you are in need of my assistance." He rumbled into the dimly lit hallway.

I took my time walking up the narrow corridor, my shorts were chafing my thighs and teasing Derek along the way didn't seem like a bad idea. Maybe he'll get enough courage to kiss me again, and this time I refuse to back out. Am I supposed to make the next move? I stopped short causing Derek to collide into my back, nearly knocking me off of my feet.

"Jesus Chloe, what's wrong with you?" He cursed as he steadied me. I could make a move now, and get it over with, but he didn't look like he was in the mood. He was giving me the 'i'm tired of your bullshit' look.

"No-nothing, I just thought I left something outside, but it's fine." I rambled and quickly ascended the rest of the way, I caught myself smiling when I heard him mutter something about being more careful.


I felt Derek's eyes on me as I tidied up the extra firewood, I knew he wanted to interject and take over, but he was trying his best to stay put. Every now and then I'd look up and make eye contact, his green orbs raced over my body, with a small smile at the corner of his lips,but he stayed put.

I sat down beside him watching the flames dance below our roasting squirrels and fish. Today's catch was plentiful. I glanced at the basket full of berries and bananas, if only Tori and Simon were here to see everything now. Life was a little bit easier than when we first arrived, but it was far from luxury.

A warm, calloused hand gently engulfed mine. I looked up, Derek was only inches away now. His other hand came up to my cheek and wiped away the tears that had escaped unnoticed.

"What's wrong?"He asked, I chuckled harshly and leaned into his hand, it was more comforting than I anticipated.I closed my eyes and listened to everything around me. The fire crackling and popping, the steady beat of Derek;s pulse against my cheek, the slight trickle from the river above.

"I miss them," I finally said, breaking the peaceful silence. When I opened my eyes, Derek was looking at the fire, his jaw clenched.

"I know, I miss them too," I took the hand against my cheek and squeezed it tightly. " I hope they're alright, it's killing me not knowing what happened."

"Maybe they found help?"

"Maybe," he mumbled, he sounded like he didn't even have the energy to make himself believe it. We fell into a heavy silence, our hands still intertwined.

"Chloe, about what I said before… I come off as too blunt sometimes, but I didn't mean it in a perverted type of way." His eyes glanced at everything except me, I couldn't help but let out a giggle.

"Quit laughing!"

"You can't even say that without smiling!" I rebutted.

"I'm trying to be serious, Chloe!"

"Okay, I'm all ears." I watched as he took the food off the fire and placed them in the basket containing the citrus.

"What I meant to say, I like you, more than just a friend or apocalypse buddy. I'm not used to having these feelings, with Sam it was different. It was more forced, I felt trapped in whatever situation I was in."

"Wait," I whispered, more to myself than to him.

"I was overwhelmed by all these emotions, I'm sorry if I came on too strong, really, I am." He met my gaze and gave my hand a quick squeeze. I didn't know what shocked me more, finding out his feelings, or him sincerely apologizing to me.

"You like me?" I blurted out, falling into a fit of laughter.

"Is that shocking?"

"Kind of, I assumed you would go towards more womanly women, bigger assets." He rolled his eyes and pulled me closer, our faces only inches apart.

"Can I?" He whispered, his other hand found my chin and tilted my face, I closed the gap without thinking, I saw what I wanted and I went for it. His lips were soft and warm, I leaned in more, my hand escaping his grasp and quickly found his chest.

His kisses became more passionate, his hands found the back of my bra, which was quickly discarded. His lips traveled from mine to my collar bone, down to one of my breasts. When his tongue flicked my nipple, I gasped in delight and shock, I had no idea that could feel that good. He stopped and leaned back, his gaze thoroughly inspecting my body.

"Should we take this to the other room?" He asked, perking an eyebrow up. I nodded, I would do anything that would make him continue doing what he was before he stopped.

He clearly shared the same feelings and didn't waste any time and scooped me up, bringing us into the smaller part of the cave that we claimed as our room.

He gently laid me down on the makeshift bed, he kneeled beside me, his shorts tented out to an unimaginable length. I let out an involuntary gulp, I couldn't back out now. His lips found my nipple once again, a burst of pleasure soared throughout my body. My fears and doubts quickly became overpowered by the urge to continue.

As Derek kissed and nibbled on my breasts, his hands found my short, and in no time they were off. I laid naked under him, the warmth radiated off of his body, but quickly went away as he stood back up.

"Do you want to undress me?" Derek grumbled, his hair was disheveled and his eyes were wide, roaming over my naked body. I nodded and knelt in front of him, my shaky hands grabbed onto the hem of his well worn shorts. Why was I so nervous? I watched as the tint of his skin got lighter as his pants went lower, quite opposite of what my face emitted.

The source of the tent got in the way when I tried to pull them straight down, I looked up at the towering man in front of me. His eyes met mine, a smile slowly spread across his face and took my hand, placing it on the mound. I felt my eyes widen at what was under my hand, it was a lot harder than I thought it would be.

I tentatively put my hand down his pants, grabbing hold of his member and pushed his shorts down the rest of the way. It sprang to life when I let go, it was warm, hard and yet soft to the touch. Seeing it up close was a wild concept, I have longed for a normal experience humans are supposed to naturally do, and here it was.

I thought back to Derek's reaction to seeing me shirtless, he kissed me. Was I supposed to do the same for him? His hand grabbed mine, and pulled me back down the bed, he started by kissing my neck and then my belly, and when it reached my scar it stopped. I looked down to see him staring down at it.

"What?" I asked nervously, he was probably grossed out.

"You're one of a kind," he replied. The kisses continued, his hands grazed the inside of my thighs, which sent shivers throughout my whole body. My legs naturally widened up, welcoming his kisses, inviting them to go lower.

His tongue flicked the sensitive folds, sending wave after wave of pleasure, my nails into his arm and I found myself rocking my hips with the movement of his tongue. A final crash wave of pleasure caused me to yell out, and a batch of goosebumps followed the come down.

"How do you feel?" Derek laid beside me, his arm finding a comfortable place across my midsection, his head laying inches from mine.

"Like I'm floating, or dreaming," I giggled and a serious thought came to me, I should make him feel good too… yet, I have literally no experience in this field. "Thank you." I whispered.

"How do I do that in return for you?"

"Oral?"

"Yeah, I mean, I've heard of blowjobs, but I've never given one, nor have I seen one being given." I rambled.

"Chloe, it's fine. One day at a time, we have the rest of our lives here on the island." He kissed my forehead and pulled me closer, spreading his natural body heat to me.

The rest of our lives, here.
