Dakota fights a blush as she looks at Stiles. "There's this party Friday. Do you want to go to it with me?" Stiles asks.

"Sure." Dakota smiles. Stiles blushes as he leans over. The two kiss and again it's like sparks flew. Stiles' hands move into Dakota's hair as hers move down his chest. Their lips in a fury of passion. Stiles nips her bottom lip as she puts her hands on his groin. Stiles groans as he pushes her down onto the bed.

Dakota knows she should slow down, but her wolf can't get enough of Stiles. She wants more. Stiles isn't fighting against it either, so it is only encouraging her to move her lips down his neck and her hands into his jeans. "Shit." Stiles moans as Dakota rubs him through his underwear. Stiles gasps as Dakota cups his groin. "D-Dakota, we..." Stiles is panting, unable to get enough oxygen from the heated interaction going on right now. "Kitty cat, we need to slow down." He finally manages to say, causing Dakota to move back."I-I..." Stiles takes a shaky breath as the two sit apart. "I'm not saying I didn't enjoy that, but..." He's still breathing heavily and shakily. His body is still vibrating from Dakota's lips and hands. "I want to get to know you. I don't want this relationship just about sex."

"Okay, what do you want to know?" She asks as she gives Stiles a quick kiss.

"You grew up here, right?"

"Yeah, I lived here until the fire. I was ten." Stiles nods as he pushes her hair off her shoulder.

"What about your parents? Were they..."

"Yeah, but my dad got us out."

"Us? You were in the fire?"

"Yeah." Dakota nods with a sigh. "I was in the fire and my dad got us out, but he got burned very badly. He's been in a coma since the fire."

"Dakota, I'm so sorry." Dakota smiles as she looks at Stiles.

"It's okay. After the fire, Laura, my cousin, she took us in."

"Derek and you?"

"Yeah. She practically raised me after the fire. She was more of a mother than a cousin."

"It must have been hard."

"At first. We moved around a lot. Nowhere ever felt like home. We met people, made friends, but we never felt..."

"Like you belonged?"

"Yeah. Not until we came back here. Coming back here brings back the bad memories, but it also brings back the good ones. So much happened here, but I don't regret a thing. Especially after meeting you." Stiles smiles and kisses Dakota.

"How about I pick you tomorrow and we can ride to school together?" Stiles asks.

"Oh, uh..."

"Or not..."

"Not, it's not that. It's just, Derek hates people coming by the old house."

"You guys actually live in there?" Dakota blushes.

"It's all we have left..."

"I'm sorry." Stiles says.

"It's okay..."

"What about if you drive over here and we'll take my car and head to the school afterwards."

"Gives you an excuse to bring me back here and spend time with you." Stiles blushes as he stares down at the floor. "I like that idea." She says before kissing him. "But I have to get back home. Derek worries if I'm out too late. I'll see you tomorrow, Stiles."

"Dakota?"

"Yeah?" Stiles walks over to where she stands by the door and gives her another breath stealing kiss.

"Bye, kitty cat." She blushes a bright red.

"Bye." She whispers before heading out of the room. She walks down the stairs to see Stiles' dad trying to act discreet, but the newspaper in his hands is upside down and his reading glasses are next to him. "Bye, Mr. Stillenski." Dakota smiles.

"Uh, right, bye." He says with a nod as Dakota heads out to her car. She hops in and sighs before starting up her car and heading home.

When she got home Derek was all over her. "Did you sleep with him already? You didn't tell him what you were, did you? Did you claim him? Did you slip about Laura? You didn't hurt him, right? Did you-"

"Enough Derek! I didn't sleep with him or claim him and he doesn't know anything."

"Why do you smell like him then?"

"I said we didn't sleep together. I never said we didn't do stuff."

"Dakota!"

"What!"

"You shouldn't go around-"

"Oh, please, I'm a teenage girl. You're the one that said to act like it." Derek narrows his eyes on his cousins with a scowl on his face.

"Your mom acted like a teenage girl and she got pregnant in her senior year with Ryker."

"Yeah and Ryker turned out just fine, Derek."

"I don't want you to go making any stupid mistakes."

"Derek, I'm not going to make a mistake. Stiles and I haven't had sex, but when we do, and we will Derek, then I will make sure he uses a condom. I'm not stupid." Derek sighs.

"Just don't be Ryker." Dakota laughs as she looks at Derek.

"Isn't that the golden rule, never be a Ryker." Derek shakes his head with a sigh.

"I swear, that kid gets into more trouble than we ever did."

"What do you expect, he's an eighteen-year-old brat who thinks now that he's a legal adult that he can do whatever he wants."

"How did you and Ryker end up siblings? You're nothing alike."

"Blame the sperm donor." Derek makes a face as Dakota says that. Ryker is Dakota's older half-brother. He was created a few months before Dakota's parents met. To this day no one knows Ryker's father. Their mother never said and Dakota's father did try. Just because Ryker isn't his son, however, doesn't mean Peter didn't love Ryker. Ryker wasn't his by blood, but he was just as much his son as Dakota was his daughter. Since turning eighteen Ryker graduated high school and is now traveling. He wanted to see everything he could now that he's eighteen. Dakota can't blame him, but she does miss the idiot.

"Do you think Ryker will like Stiles?"

"It's hard to tell with Ryker. Most of the time he's an idiot." Derek says, causing Dakota to laugh.

"He's a good guy though and he's not stupid. He's just-"

"Immature, forgetful, oblivious?"

"All of the above."

"Plus hyper, ADHD infused, cleptomaniac."

"Yeah... he does have sticky fingers." Dakota says.

"He'd probably steal everything on Stiles before even introducing himself." Dakota laughs as she sits on the stairs beside her cousin.

"I miss that stupid clepto." Derek wraps his arm around Dakota and sighs.

"I know. We'll see him eventually."

"I know."
