Forever Yours

Part Three

Derek paced around his apartment, his wolf agitated. It's barely been three days and Brooke's absence was duly noted. He wasn't sure how he was going to get through the next four days without going mad and ripping things apart He hated it that Peter was right. With Brooke gone his wolf was both angry and depressed. Today he was on the edge, stressed that his wolf will break free and go on a rampage. His wolf was unsettled. "You need to relax," Isaac had said yesterday. He came to check on Derek. Yesterday the wolf was in a foul mood, Derek was in a foul mood. It wasn't just the wolf that suffered in the absence of Brooke. Brooke returning to Tree Hill for her godson's birthday has forced Derek to admit that he was completely and utterly in love with Brooke Davis. Now Derek was terrified of the thought that she might not return. "You're putting us in depression," Isaac had told him. Derek never realized how much impact Brooke had. Not just on him, but also the pack. Isaac wasn't the only one that mentioned the pack's mentality when Brooke was around. Erica and Boyd both once mentioned that they sensed Derek's power when Brooke was around, but the power also extended to them.

The door to Derek's apartment slid open and Derek paused. His body tensed. Brooke marched through the door, bag in hand, and sighed heavily. Her eyes rested on Derek she smiled. The smile radiated relief and happiness. Brooke came to Derek's straight from the airport. She needed to see him. Going back to Tree Hill was great. She missed her friends and it was great catching up with everyone, and yet the whole time she was in Tree Hill she couldn't wait to go back to Beacon Hills. That's not true, she wanted to come back to Derek. While in Tree Hill one thing became clear. Tree Hill was no longer home. She loved her friends and she loved Tree Hill. However, it missed one thing. Derek Hale. He made her feel safe. He was home. Derek was her home.

"I thought you're going to be gone for a week," Derek said. Brooke shrugged looking weary. "I couldn't do it," she said dropping her bag. "I was barely there when all I wanted was to come back," she continued taking a step forward. "I didn't think you'd come back," Derek confessed taking a step towards Brooke. "Why?" Brooke asked taking another step forward. "Because it's your home," Derek answered stopping in front Brooke. Brooke smiled and shook her head. "It's you, Derek," Brooke said. "You're home," she whispered dropping her gaze. She was scared telling him, because she was terrified of getting her heartbroken again. But Brooke knew that she had to be honest with herself and with Derek. Derek's heart skipped a beat. She's mine, he thought proudly. Wherever she goes he'll go. That he was sure of. "You're not allowed to leave again," Derek said taking her face in his hands getting her to look at him. Her hazel eyes met his and she gave him a sheepish smile. "Never," she breathed. Derek gave Brooke an attractive smile, a sparkle in his eyes. She leaned in and kissed him, wrapping her hands around his neck. He picked her up and carried her to bed, laying her down gently. Taking his time to make tender love to her.

Derek woke to find Brooke snuggled against him, their naked bodies pressed together. Brooke's head on his shoulder and her hand resting on his chest. She looked calm, peaceful. He smiled to himself and kissed the top of her head, softly, as to not wake her. He felt content. More importantly his wolf felt content. Brooke stirred and her hand ran down the length of his torso. That small action awoke a desire so strong within Derek he thought he'd drown in it. He felt Brooke smile and she let her hand travel further down running her hand down the length of his cock. Derek growled and in one swift movement he had Brooke on her back, straddling her. "You drive me crazy," he breathed, his voice hoarse. "What'd I do?" Brooke asked innocently, batting her eyelashes.

"You drive the wolf crazy," he pressed leaning his forehead against hers.

"Make love to me," Brooke whispered tangling her fingers in his hair.

"Aren't you exhausted?" He asked amazed that she's even awake. They made love on practically every surface of his apartment.

"I feel alive when I'm with you," Brooke said smiling, rubbing her thumbs up and down the back of his neck.

"You'll be the death of me," Derek breathed leaning in to kiss Brooke. Brooke shook her head and used the skills she learnt in self-defense to flip Derek over and straddle him. "My terms," she teased running her hands down his torso. His muscles flexed under her palms, Brooke's desire intensifying. She trailed kisses down his stomach and as she moved down Derek's breath hitched. God, she drove him wild. Brooke moved further down and her hands reached his hips. Derek growled as Brooke kissed the head of his cock.

That alone was nearly enough to push him over the edge. Derek wanted nothing more than to have Brooke wrap her lips around his cock, but he was afraid that would make him lose all control, and he mainly wanted to bring her pleasure. He reached down and brought her lips back to his, kissing her. Brooke pulled back and shook her head. "My terms, remember," she said gruffly. She moved to the edge of the bed, on all fours and paused.

Derek stared at her perfect ass, and his wolf wanted to mount her and make her scream his name. But Derek was hesitant. Brooke looked over her shoulder, biting her bottom lip. She was inviting him, teasing him. Derek reached out putting his hands on her ass, gently caressing her ass cheeks. Brooke moaned arching her back, throwing her head back. Derek got on his knees and moved closer. Brooke could feel the heat radiating off him.

She knew that the wolf would appreciate this. Derek gripped her hips and thrust inside. Brooke buckled under the pressure but held her own. Every thrust brought her closer to the end game. The wolf emerged, his claws digging into Brooke's flesh as the friction built. Brooke screamed his name and that was enough for him to reach climax. Brooke shuddered underneath him as she reached her peak. She slummed forward, Derek on top of her. He pushed her hair to the side kissing her right shoulder. "God, I love you," Derek said without thinking. "I love you too," Brooke answered without hesitation.

Brooke sat on the couch, her legs hugged against her chest and her chin resting on her knees. She watched as Derek made pancakes, smiling. "What?" Derek asked looking up at Brooke, returning her smile. "Nothing," Brooke beamed. "Just admiring the view," she said biting her bottom lip. Derek had on a pair of PJ bottoms and nothing else. Brooke marveled at the sight that was Derek. His toned torso and muscled back was a sight to behold. "Is that so?" he said his eyes gleaming. Brooke knew that look all too well. It was pure desire. "I'm hungry," Brooke said getting up. Derek stared at her, his desires reawakened by the vision of Brooke in one of his T-Shirts and nothing more. Her hair was a sexy mess, telling the tale of a day spent making love.

"I bet you are," Derek grinned putting pancakes in a plate. Brooke didn't even bother putting anything on it, just breaking off pieces and eating them. Derek stared at her wondering what she saw in him. He didn't want to question her, too afraid that she'll realize she could do better and leave. "I love you, Derek," Brooke said pouring herself a glass of OJ. "I'm not going anywhere."

"Are you a mind reader now?" he asked amused. Brooke smiled. "no, I just know you," she replied. She drank her OJ and put the glass down.

"I love you," Derek said their hazel eyes meeting. "I know," Brooke said with a cheeky smile. "What else do you know?" Derek asked walking over to Brooke.

He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer. Brooke grinned and tilted her slightly as Derek nuzzled his nose in the hallow of her neck. "I know that I love you," she answered trying to concentrate, but it was hard when Derek was trailing kisses down her neck and across her collarbone. "And that I want be with you," she whispered and that I want be with you," she whispered as Derek kissed her earlobe. "What else?" he said his voice barely a murmur. Brooke tried focusing and couldn't, Derek's hands moving down to her hips pulling her closer. "Uh-" she trailed off her mind preoccupied by Derek's lips on her jaw. "What else?" Derek pressed drawing his lower lip across her chin towards her mouth. "Only you, forever," Brooke gasped when Derek's mouth finally found hers. He gently kissed her, his tongue teasing hers.

Brooke wrapped her arms around his waist. Derek drew her closer their bodies pressed together, and he could feel her heart beat against his chest. He trailed kisses across her cheek and to her earlobe, dragging his teeth over her ear. "Make me yours," Brooke whispered, closing her eyes and enjoying the feel of Derek's lips against her flesh. It was a full moon. Now was the time for Derek to and his wolf to claim Brooke. "You'd give up everything to be with me?" Derek asked softly, kissing her just under her earlobe. "Yes, because I love you," Brooke answered her heart hammering against her ribs, threatening to leap from her chest. Derek loved the effect he had on Brooke. "What if it kills you?" Derek said lightly scraping his teeth along her jaw line. "What if it doesn't?" She countered with a moan, digging her nails into his shoulder blades. "I don't know," Derek replied pulling away looking Brooke directly in the eye.

"Do you love me?" Brooke asked seriously, meeting his gaze. She wasn't talking to the wolf. She was talking directly to Derek. She knew how the wolf felt about her. She needed to know how Derek felt about her. "More than you'll ever know," he confessed kissing her feverishly. "Then claim me as yours," Brooke breathed when they came up for air. Derek looked at Brooke, her beauty mesmerizing. He never thought he'd love someone as much as he loved her. He promised himself that he'll never get involved with anyone ever again, not after Kate betrayed him. But he knew from his very first encounter with Brooke that she was the one. She was his mate, he felt it with his whole being. His human and wolf claimed her as theirs. "Derek?" Brooke sounded concerned. "You're mine," he said, his eyes turning red, his teeth emerging. Brooke touched his face, leaning in kissing him tenderly.

"I'm yours," she breathed. Derek gave a low growl and closed his eyes. He pushed her against the wall, ripping the shirt from her body, exposing her flawless flesh. "Make me yours," Brooke said powerfully, digging her nails into the sides of his face, kissing him impatiently. He pushed inside her as the animal in him took over claiming this beautiful courageous woman as his mate. Brooke draped her arms around his neck and dug her nails into the flesh of his shoulders, drawing blood. Their bodies melted together. Derek didn't know where his body started and Brooke's ended. The friction built and Derek roared as he bit down on her shoulder, tasting her blood. Brooke screamed as her body was pushed to the edge, reaching new heights. Derek slumped against her, spent, the wolf fading. Brooke cupped his face and kissed him. "Forever mine," Derek growled, meeting her hazel gaze. He was still buried inside her their bodies entwined. "Forever yours," she repeated in a hush.
