The beginning continued

4:01 pm

Serena stumbled out of her car to assess if there was any damage to it, never mind the guy, I mean, it wasn't as if it was her car anyway, it was Raye's and Raye was temperamental at the best of times, at the worst (such as finding her new car with a dent in it) you usually ended up in a body bag on your way to the city morgue.

Heaving a sign of relief at finding no mark, Serena became aware of someone glaring a hole into the back of her. Spinning on her heel, she came face to face with a fine specimen of the male species. He was way taller than her, probably 6'2 and had raven black hair that hung over his eyes, giving him a mysterious aura about him. His eyes were a deep midnight blue that seemed to be inking black as he met her gaze full on. Sliding her eyes downwards, she was able to make out a well defined physique clothed in fashionable clothes. Lifting her eyes back up to meet his, she felt her face flush as she realised he was assessing her like she'd done to him.

Darien found himself going into a trance as he gazed down upon the petite nymph in front of him. He'd felt annoyance flash through him as he saw her check upon the state of the car before she'd turned to face him and boy did she blow his mind when she did. She was about 5'5 and had blonde hair hanging down to the back of her knees, silver highlights glistening in the sun as it framed her face. Her eyes were wide almond shaped pools, a colour that was a cross between dark blue and violet, lips a luscious, cotton candy pink and her skin was flawlessly pale. Shifting his gaze further down her body he took in a delicate figure with curves in allthe right places. Looking sexy yet casual, Darien found his mind being assaulted with images of her and him that weren't descent in a public setting, never mind behind closed doors where all you could hear were the sliding of sheets against bodies and throaty moans being sent into the room.

Shaking his head he was slightly shocked to find her eyes alight with fury as she stared at him. "What the hell do you think you were doing? Could you not see the car or what?"

Not one to be easily ruffled, Darien was stunned to not only find the little nymph ignoring his obviously more that average good looks, but to also have the………… balls to stand up to him. Chuckling he saw her body stiffen in stunned fury as she looked at him with disbelieving eyes. She took an almost inaudible inhale as his eyes became shards of glass.

"Who do you think you are? Couldn't you see me walking across the road? Or is the saying about blondes really true?" With a sneer Darien raked his eyes over her figure again, this time focusing on her breasts that were straining against her top it was that tight (or they (her breasts) were that big lol). Serena felt hard tremors erupt inside her body as she tried to keep her anger in check. Taking a step forward she drew her hand back to slap him, but instead of hearing the satisfactory SMACK, she found her hand being held centimetres away from the stranger's face.

Growling, she yanked her hand out of his and this time managed to slap him as he was caught unaware. The sound of her slap resounded in the open air and caused many people, who had stopped to watch their exchange, wince collectively. She stalked towards the car and before she drove off, rolled down her window and said "Listen you arrogant prick, never ever insinuate anything about my intelligence because of my hair colour and next time you decide to walk in front of my car I'm just going to floor it. See how smug you are when your insides are leaking all over the road."

With that she sped off, pushing her encounter with the handsome yet arrogant stranger behind her.

4:11 pm

Darien's jaw hung open as one of his hands rubbed his cheek where her hand had made contact. His eyes flashed darkly as he beckoned Andrew towards him and only said two words, "Find her."

Next Day (Night)

Serena cursed as her heel became stuck in one of the pavements many cracks. She damned Raye to hell as it had been through her persuasions that Serena was even wearing the 4 inch clear stilettos and the skirt that stopped just below her ass. Pulling her heel out of the crack she was shot forward and collided with something hard, yet warm. Closing her eyes, she braised herself for the feeling of her ass greeting the floor like a long lost lover, but instead felt herself being pulled back up.

Opening one eye she peeked around before deciding it was safe and opened both eyes to meet the sight of a well defined chest clothed in a tight white t-shirt that did nothing to help Serena's imagination. Tipping her head back she met very familiar eyes. Cursing, she tried to move back but felt his hands lock behind her back.

Darien had to hold back a moan at the feel of Serena's lush curves pressed up against his body, her scent invading his senses. He couldn't believe his luck when he turned down the alleyway and Serena seemed to propel herself into his arms. He'd sensed her, a couple of blocks away, but he'd had to meet Chad and Andrew so he hadn't pursued her. But now? Well it was fair game as she'd been the one to bump into him.

"Well, well, well what do we have here?"

Serena tried to suppress the shiver that ran down her spine at the sound of his husky voice, but she knew he felt it by the way he held her tighter while staring down into her eyes.

"Let me go you jerk." Now it was Darien who fought the urge to close his eyes as the sound of her voice as it travelled through his veins like molten lava.

"And why, prey tell, should I do that nymph."

"The name's Serena jerk and because if you don't I'm going to scream rape."

"Name's Darien and go ahead, try it." Serena opened her mouth to scream……… Only thing was that as soon as she'd opened her mouth he'd covered it with his.

He quickly took advantage of her stunned state and plunged his tongue into her mouth. Immediately, she responded and the kiss moved up another level. His hands seemed to have a mind of their own and began to move all over her body, then into her hair where he used them as anchors to tip her head back and deepen the kiss, causing Serena to let out a moan and push her body into his which, in turn, caused Darien to groan and push his body back into the hers. Her hands were moving just as frantically as his were, causing a build up of the pressure that was quickly starting to spread through both their veins. God! Darien felt like a junkie who had just gotten his much need and much appreciated hit.

Darien backed Serena up against the wall so hard her back slammed against the alley's wall causing Serena to take a startled gasp at the impact. Before she could decide on whether to beat the shit out of Darien or kiss him senseless. The decision was taken out of her hands however, when Darien dove back in for another taste of the sweet siren beneath him. Colours exploded behind her eyes lids as her senses were assaulted by the smell of Darien's musky cologne, the feel of his t-shirt balled in her hands and his muscles rippling with every movement he made, the taste of him sweet and defiantly sinful and the sound of him as he let out a groan when she lifted her right leg to hook around him.

Growling, Darien lifted Serena up so that she had no choice but to wrap her long, shapely legs around his waist. As she felt the proof of his arousal she tried to swim through the misty haze that was cloaking her mind and body. Darien felt her begin to fight against the sensations that they were both feeling and he couldn't let that happen now could he? He trailed his lips down along her jaw towards the curve in her neck. There he proceeded to bite down, marking her, for all to see, as his. Hearing her shocked gasp and safe in the knowledge that she was once more becoming lost in the pleasure he was stunned when she pushed him forcefully away.

Scowling, he faced her only to spin around when he registered another presence at the entrance to the alleyway. His teeth bared in warning at the person who had dared to interrupt him. All the while though, he was wondering why the petite nymph sensed them before he did, after all he was the werewolf, an alpha at that, not her. Glancing down at her stunned expression, he couldn't help thinking that there was a lot more to Serena than she let on and he'd be damned if he didn't find out what she was hiding.
