Ethan/Isaac

Author's Note: Just so you all know, I don't do sex scenes. So if you're hoping to see a graphic description of how Ethan and Isaac do it, you'll be disappointed. Also, since people have been wondering, Isaac will find out that Ethan is a werewolf. But not in this chapter. Hope you enjoy.

Ethan and Isaac were laying in a tent out in the woods just outside of Beacon Hills. The sun had set a few hours ago and the only light to see by was the small lantern sitting in the corner behind their heads. Both had removed their clothes a while ago, but they had moved past the stage of frantic once-in-a-blue-moon lovemaking and now were able to just enjoy each other's company. Neither of them had wanted to go back to their respective homes for a night like this; Ethan because he knew one of his pack members might show up and ruin what he had going with Isaac, Isaac because Derek hardly ever left the loft and wouldn't let them have their … private time together.

Isaac was laying on his back, Ethan on his side next to him, and was running his hand up and down Ethan's back. Ethan couldn't deny how pleased he felt as he stared at the little smile that just wouldn't leave Isaac's face. He was responsible for that happiness and after almost accidentally ruining their relationship a couple days ago it made him feel great.

He also couldn't deny that, despite his slight misgivings prior to actually doing it, letting Isaac fuck him had been nothing short of incredible. It wasn't that he'd had any doubts about Isaac, it was just that his werewolf instincts had been practically screaming at him to show the beta that he was an alpha and therefore should not be submitting. But Isaac didn't know that he was an alpha and he had no doubt that Isaac's werewolf had wanted him to show who was the stronger of the two, seeing as Isaac was a beta who thought he was dealing with a perfectly ordinary human.

"So, happy that you didn't try to cut your losses after all?"

Isaac's smile widened, "Definitely."

Ethan leaned in for a kiss, which he only intended to take a few seconds, but then Isaac's hand was on his neck preventing him from pulling away. So they kissed until they ran out of breath and Ethan honestly had no complaints about that. Especially when he was able to pull back just a little and saw that smile still firmly in place on Isaac's face.

"I don't think I've ever seen you this happy."

Isaac leaned in for another kiss, "Thank you."

Ethan didn't need to ask what Isaac was thanking him for, nor did he need any elaboration. He knew it was because of him and that filled him with pride. Pride because he'd given this troubled werewolf, who'd grown up in a broken home, love and happiness. But he also felt anxiety and guilt for what might happen. How Isaac would feel when he discovered that Ethan was a member of Deucalion's pack and if the battle lines would be drawn between the two packs.

He pushed that thought away, not wanting to ruin the mood, and laid his head on Isaac's chest. Which caused Isaac to wrap his arms around him, bringing about another surprise for Ethan. He liked it, not that he wouldn't have liked it because it was Isaac. But the feeling of being in someone else's arms, of being protected. He was an alpha, he should be the protector, but at least for right now he liked this feeling.

They continued talking, mostly about little things that didn't really matter like the weather. Although Ethan felt kind of proud of himself for checking the weather before proposing this little date night in the woods to Isaac because he'd known that tonight would be a warm night. Warm enough that they wouldn't need to worry about putting any clothes back on until they decided to head back to civilization. Which had been a really good call on his part because he wanted to enjoy the view of Isaac without anything on for as long as possible and he was sure Isaac felt the same way.

But before he knew it, the both of them were dozing off and as much as he'd wanted to go another round with Isaac, because the smell of sex was still lingering in the tent and he knew Isaac's nose was full of it too, he realized he didn't really mind.

The next day was just as good as the previous one had been. But only until he got back to the apartment building he was living in with his pack. Aiden was the only one around, but as soon as he saw that Ethan was alone he made it clear just how angry he was. With a punch to the face.

As soon as his fist landed, Aiden began speaking, "What were you thinking? You let him fuck you? Right from the beginning I thought this was a bad idea, but now you're bending over for a beta!"

Before his brother could say anything else, Ethan punched him in the face because Aiden was completely overreacting, "Shut up and let me explain. I know what I'm doing with Isaac. Yes, he's a beta, but he doesn't know I'm an alpha. Which means that he naturally wants to be on top because he thinks I'm a human. Forcing him to bottom just to assert my superiority would've ruined everything I've been doing every since I met him."

Aiden didn't look happy about that explanation, but at least he wasn't still trying to punch Ethan. And it wasn't like he was about to tell Aiden anything else. Like how even if Isaac had known that he was an alpha, he still wasn't sure he would've pushed to be on top. Like how he was more concerned about anything that might ruin his relationship with Isaac because of what that would do to Isaac rather than any additional snippets of information that he might miss out on.

After a moment or two of them angrily staring at each other, Aiden lets out an irritated sigh, "Fine, I just hope you know what you're doing … and that doing all of this will be worth it."

Ethan lets out a sigh as well, this one much more relieved than Aiden's. He's glad Aiden decided to drop it. It was one of the things no one really knew about the two of them, no matter how angry one might get at the other they never actually held onto that anger for long. Not that it wouldn't keep bothering Aiden. Ethan knew his brother well enough to know that he'd be looking at the other pack as their enemy already.

After waiting a few seconds to see if Aiden would say anything else, Ethan grabbed some clothes and headed for the bathroom. He could still smell Isaac on himself, but he'd kind of been hoping that the scent wouldn't be so obvious. Since it was that obvious, he needed to shower before the rest of the pack showed up. So he turned on the water and let his mind wander in the direction of Isaac. More specifically, what he could do next to see Isaac smile again. The beta werewolf had gone through so much torment in his life already, he deserved some happiness to balance that out.
