Over the next few weeks Sam tried to spend as much time with Terra as he could. The next full moon was only a month away and he felt like he wasn't making much progress breaking through the thick wall that she had built around herself. The trauma of her experience with the pack leader, Corbin, was making things very difficult.

"Hungry Terra?", Sam said, smiling at her. "She nodded following Sam into the kitchen. She walked over to the fridge and was reaching out for the door handle when Sam put his hand on the door, keeping her from pulling it open. "Huh-uh, Terra" Sam pointed to one of the chairs positioned around the table. "SIT!" She looked at him, befuddled. She walked over and sat at the table watching him.

"What's all this about Sam?", Terra asked. " I can make my own lunch". Sam just ignored her, humming a tune that she didn't recognize as he worked. He reached into the fridge and pulled out one of the packages wrapped in brown butcher paper, and started to unwrap it on a cutting board.

Terra smiled at the back of Sam's head when he started to whistle. He rolled the large heart onto the board and grabbed a giant butcher knife and started to cut the heart into slices. He then cut the slices into smaller pieces. He tried to make eating raaw meat as normal as eating anything else. He scapped the cubed meat onto a plate and then washed his hands in the sink before placing the meat on the table in front of her.

"Enjoy!", Sam said with a huge grin. He handed her a fork so she wouldn't have to use her fingers. He sat next to her and just smiled like an idiot. Terra had never seen him in such a good mood. It made her suspicious. She narrowed her eyes at him and the corners of her mouth twitched up into a smirk. "What?", Sam asked, tilting his head at her. She knew he was up to something, she just wasn't sure what.

"Why are you so happy today?", Terra asked. "For the past 2 weeks you've been climbing the walls. Now you're humming and whistling! What gives?" Sam just shrugged and got up from the table and walked over to the fridge. He pulled out things to make a sandwich and stacked everything on the counter. Sam kept his back to her as he fixed his lunch and he paused when he was finished. He sighed before he began to speak.

"Terra, I just want...".

"Hey guys!", Dean called from the doorway. He walked to the fridge and pulled out a beer and took a giant swig as he sat down at the table. "How you doin' kiddo?", Dean asked. Terra looked over at him and tried to talk around a mouth full of half chewed cow heart . Dean chuckled at the way her cheeks stuck out like a chipmunk's. It took her a minute to get it all down.

"I'm OK", Terra wheezed as she tried to swallow it all down in one gulp. Dean's laughter made her laugh too. She was glad for the moment of levity. It was usually way to serious around here. Not that there was much joy with Jodie and Maurice. Jodie was always so serious. And Maurice? His brand of humor always gave her the creeps.

When Sam sat down with his sandwich, the mood around the table suddenly shifted to an uncomfortable silence. Sam had been trying to say something when Dean interrupted. Dean looked from Sam to Terra and back again. He had hoped that they would have grown closer by now, but that didn't appear to be the case. He was afraid that Sam wouldn't have time to do this the easy way. Sam was not really, what you'd call, a lady's man. Dean wished Sam would let him do it. It wouldn't be the first time he took a virgin's chastity. Dean Winchester had seduction down to an art form. But Sam was adamant about doing this himself.

Dean decided to go out for the evening to chase some tail. Sam always rolled his eyes at his brother but he knew that that and drinking were pretty much Dean's only ways to relieve the stress. They each had their coping mechanisms. Later that night, Sam walked to Terra's room and knocked softly on her door.

"Come in!", Terra called. He walked in the door and saw Terra sitting cross-legged on the bed, reading through files on werewolves that she had found in the library. Sam walked over and sat on the bed. He had a package in his lap and he handed it to her as he sat down.

"I got you something while I was out today", Sam said looking at his hands. "I hope you like it". Terra smiled at him and began to unwrap the brightly colored package. When she got the wrapping off, she held a small flat box in her hand. When she pulled the top off of the box, her mouth fell open and her eye's went wide. The smile that spread across her face was the most beautiful thing Sam had ever seen.

"THANK YOU, SAM!", Terra squealed. "IT'S BEAUTIFUL!" She stared at the chain with the small silver wolf dangling from it. There was a tiny red shimmering stone where the eye should be. It was in a standing position with it's he thrown back in a howl. Sam was relieved that she liked it so much. He was afraid that the image would be too much for her.

"I'm glad you like it", Sam breathed. "Want me to help you put it on?" She nodded and her face beamed. He pulled the necklace from the box and wrapped his arms around her neck to do up the clasp. Sam didn't pull his hands away, but laid one hand on her shoulder and caressed her cheek with the other. "You are so beautiful", Sam cooed. "Especially when you smile".

"Thank you", Terra whispered. Her cheeks turned red and Sam thought she had never looked more radiant. He never intended to develop these kinds of feelings for her, but, things don't always go the way we plan. He planned to woo her into developing feelings for him, so he could do what he had to when the time came. But it seemed that she was the one that had done the wooing without even knowing it.

"Can I kiss you, Terra?", Sam whispered back, still touching her face. Terra nodded with a shuddering sigh. Sam leaned in and kissed her softly. When he deepened the kiss, Terra wrapped her arms around his neck and held him tightly. As before he started kissing, sucking, and licking her jawline and neck. She leaned her head back as he kissed her throat and he laid her gently down on her back on the soft bed. She looked up at him with trepidation in her eyes.

"Don't be afraid", Sam whispered. " I would never hurt you. You know that, right?" Terra nodded once and swallowed hard, trying to push down her fear. He laid a hand on her face again and let it roam down her neck, to her collar bone. His hand moved down further and slid into the crease between her breast, not touching them yet. It kept moving lower until his hand rested on her stomach, just below her belly button. Her whole body trembled with nervous anticipation.

Just as before, Sam ran his hand back up to her rib cage ever so slowly. Terra jerked and grabbed his hand, squeezing it tightly. Terra looked up into Sam's warm, kind eyes and relaxed her grip on his hand. She ran her hand up his arm and nodded silently at him. Sam moved his hand up higher and caressed the underside of her breast. Terra moaned and Sam started planting sweet kisses on both collar bones. She ran her hand through his hair and started panting. He gave her breast a gently squeeze.

"OH GOD! SAM!", Terra shouted. Sam groaned into the side of her neck. He gently laid himself over her, straddling her thighs. The hand on her breast slowly worked down to the hem of her T-shirt and slithered underneath. His warm fingertips rubbed gentle circles on her belly. He pushed her shirt up, exposing her ribs. Terra smirked at him, reached down, and pulled her shirt up over her head. Just as Sam was leaning down to kiss her again, there was a loud bang and the door blew inwards off it's hinges.

Sam turned around on the bed and saw a shadow fall across the mattress and a giant silhouette in the doorway. A deep menacing growl came from the figure as his shoulders heaved up and down with rage. Sam could see the sharp claws of the beast slowly extend from his fingertips. Terra peaked around Sam's arm and saw the creature that haunted her dreams. Corbin's hair hung in his face and he flung his head back to clear it. When his eyes fell on her, she started to shake uncontrollably.

"Hello, My Love", Corbin purred. "You've been a very naughty little girl".
