Author's Note: OHMYGOSHHH

Did you notice it?! Did you notice the new cover?

It's amazing. I love it. My friend, who is not only an amazing artist but also is great at photoshop made me this as a little celebration to having 200 followers, which I suavely missed. We're up to 245 now I believe. Yeah, little late...

BUT this new cover is amazing since we already voted on who should be Ave and guess what? That's Lyndsy Fonesca! Great, right?

Anyway, please, please, PLEASE go check out her tumblr (the link will be on my bio) she does great work and deserves credit for it! Please check her out, it would really mean a lot to us both!

Alright, so that aside, I've got what you've all been waiting for in this chapter, though it's kinda short, I got so excited about the new cover I decided to cut this chapter into two parts so I could get the word out about the cover and its artist sooner ^_^ Sorry.

BUT ENJOY


Avery

Derek's hands slip under my shirt as his teeth nip at my neck. "Derek," I manage to spit out in between breaths, "Derek, stop," his fingers find the back of my bra and his lips continue their work on my shoulder.

"Derek," I put my hands on his chest and push back, forcing him to break contact with my skin. He looks down at me in part confusion, part in annoyance. For a few moments, I revel in the power I have over him as I push him further back from me and climb off the counter.

I walk backwards down the hallway, keeping eye contact with him. My poker face breaks and I bite my lip to try to stop the smile that's quickly taking over. Derek's mouth shapes the smallest of smirks as he begins walking toward me. "I'm not having sex on the kitchen counter," I turn the corner of the stairs and continue walking backwards up them.

In the blink of an eye, Derek is on the stairs before me, and next thing I know, I'm laying with my back against the stairs with Derek leaning over me. I close my eyes as he leans down, his breath ghosting over my lips. I breathe in his breath and his hands lift my legs unto his lower back.

The denim of his jeans presses down into my core, and I instinctively press against him. A growl comes from his throat, and I gasp as he grinds into me, pressing something hard against my core, and repeats the motion again and again until the only breaths I can manage are gasps and my legs are quivering.

His hands once again slip under my shirt, but this time I don't stop him. Instead, I lean forward, allowing him to slip it over my head. I keep my eyes closed as Derek's lips make their way from my collarbone to the tops of my breasts, nipping and sucking as he goes.

I bite my lip and claw at his shirt. He leans back and pulls it over his head, and I stare at the too-perfect-to-be-true set of six pack abs in front of me. He catches my stare and lets out a low chuckle as he comes back down to lean over me.

"We can't do this on the stairs, either," I manage to say before he makes some crack about me practically drooling. He growls into my neck and the heat of his breath alone makes me bite my lip in an attempt to stay quiet.

"You're taking all the fun out of this," he says jokingly as he lifts me up and begins climbing up the stairs with me basically sitting on him. I feel unsure about it for a moment, but his steadiness put me at ease.

I lace my fingers through his spiked hair, "So, you're telling me you're not having any fun right now?" I lean into his neck and smile as I bite his shoulder and grind my hips against him. He responds by gripping my ass tightly.

When he speaks, his voice is barely more than a growl, "Not at all," he lays me down on something soft and I suddenly realize we're already in my darkened room, and already on my bed.

I lick my lips and let out a short giggle as he kisses his way down my stomach. "Me neither," I say as his fingers hook themselves under my shorts and pull them down quickly. I mentally applaud myself for wearing a pair of cute white underwear with a lace border.

He slips his fingers under the lace and he looks at me with a smirk and a dark gleam in his eyes. His hands wrap themselves under my elbows and pull me forward then, lifting me so that I'm sitting on one of his legs. "Still not having fun?" he asks, his lips barely touching mine as his hands reach up underneath my sports bra.

"No," I answer in a quick, breathless voice, "you?" his hands pull up at the fabric and I put my arms over my head as he slips the bra off and lets it fall between us. He stares for a moment, and I feel suddenly insecure.

"Maybe a little," he says as his arm slips behind my back and pulls me higher up on his leg, bringing me closer to him as his head dips low, and he takes one of my nipples into his hot mouth. The sensation of his tongue alone is enough to force a moan from me, his teeth are just a bonus.

Absentmindedly, my hips rock back and forth against his leg, feeding the maddening throb. With his other hand, he paws at my breast with just the right amount of roughness.

His mouth releases my nipple and he chuckles, sending hot breath across my skin. I suddenly notice that my fingers laced themselves through his hair again, keeping him pulled tightly to me. I loosen my grip as a blush comes to my cheeks, only partially from embarrassment.

He gives me a quick, forceful kiss before leaning back down and rolling my other nipple between his teeth. "Derek," I say, licking my lips and folding my arm around his neck. My hips keep moving on their own, and Derek's hand slides under my underwear, squeezing my ass.

I use my hips to push back towards the bed, and pull him down with me.

My hands fumble around his belt as his mouth finds mine. I struggle to focus as his tongue slips into my mouth, filling it with his taste. He leans back up and hastily pulls his belt off and throws it on the floor. He pulls something small from his pocket and tosses it beside me on the bed.

As he stands up off the bed and undoes his zipper and kicks his boots off, I pick up the thing he threw on the bed. I hold the thin square in my hand and realize it's a condom wrapper.

I look over just as Derek's jeans drop. My eyes widen and my mouth drops. My reaction doesn't go unnoticed.

I really shouldn't be surprised that he's big. Like, really big.

I've only seen pictures from like health books and the internet- I mean, everyone does, right?

But damn.

A dark chuckle breaks my thoughts as his hands encircle my ankles and drag me down the bed towards him. I can't help a smile as he climbs over me and kisses me deeply as he takes the condom from my hand. I hear the wrapper tear, but I'm too enthralled by his body, his taste, his smell, to care.

His hand wanders between my legs, and his fingers rub circles into my core through the lace, forcing me to moan into the kiss. The fabric is slick and warm.

Derek breaks the kiss and leans back, he hooks a finger inside of the lace and just barely touches the spot where I need him most. I let out a frustrated sigh and my head falls back against the bed. He does that low chuckle again as his mouth traces over my stomach.

"Having fun yet?" he asks mockingly against my skin.

"Not quite," I whimper as his finger teases at my entrance, my hips arch to him in desperation. He slips another finger under the lace and pulls it slowly down my legs.

I close my eyes and bite my lip as he pulls my legs once again around his hips and settles over me.

With one thrust, the aching throb turns to a screeching pain. I squeeze my eyes shut tightly and clamp my lips together as he thrusts in again and again, and I feel like I'm being ripped apart.

Tori, who has made several boyfriends over the years, told me once that the first time doesn't even hurt.

Tori is a dirty rotten liar.

I dig my nails into his back and his teeth clamp onto my collar bone. I try to focus on that pain instead, but it's hard. His pace is fast and rough, and it feels like forever before the pain starts to fade, and as it does, it's replaced by a heat that spreads through me with each time his hips smash against mine, pounding into me over and over again.

What started out as gasps and whimpers turns to near screams as my eyes practically roll back in my head. I dig my nails out of his shoulder blades and wrap my arms around his neck and pull him down closer to me, if only to have a hold on something.

His teeth move from my collar bone to my neck, and as his canines dig in, I let out a final, loud scream as my body shakes and the world around me dissolves. He thrusts into me a few more times before letting out a pleasured growl and claims my lips as his body goes still.

I'm all but lost to the world, and even when he rolls off to the side, I still can't seem to catch my breath. I squeeze my legs together as they fall against the bed. I reach up and run my hands through my hair as I try to calm myself. "Well," I say breathlessly as I try to sound purposefully nonchalant, "I had fun."

I look over to Derek and find him staring back at me with his mouth slightly open, his breathing just as heavy as mine. I smile widely as I lace my leg across both of his and kiss him as well as I can manage, being that I'm still shaking.

The sheets are a twisted mess around us, but that hardly matters. His muscled arm wraps around my waist again and I pull back for air. I lay my forehead on his chest before I lay my head against him.

I close my eyes, I listen to his heartbeat quickly in his chest. I listen as it slows, and the sound makes me drift off to sleep with his arm still around me.

Author's Note: Okay, so for some reason I found the condom part oddly cute idk...
