Chapter 5

The pain in my shoulder was almost unbearable, but then Derek kissed me.

It was like nothing I had ever felt before. He kissed me all along my neck and he kissed my shoulder.

Clothes were shed, and soon, there was nothing between us.

Timeless is what described this moment. It was like we had all the time in the world, and nothing mattered but us.

Suddenly, Derek stopped kissing me and spoke. "Are you ready?" he asked.

I nodded and knew that I was ready without a doubt.

That night was spent in each other's arms, not caring about anything but each other.

By the end of the night, I was Derek Hale's wife in every way.

The next morning, I woke up tangled in the sheets.

I felt a hard arm around my shoulders, and knew that it was Derek's.

I got up and headed to make breakfast. Soon, I was joined by a pair of long arms around my waist.

"Hey there beautiful." He said. I giggled.

"Did you sleep well?" he asked. I smiled.

"Well, I wouldn't call it sleep." I said. I could feel Derek smile against my hair. "Well, I guess I'm going to have to reprimand whoever kept you up." He said. I smiled and turned to face him, still in his arms.

"I think I liked staying up." I said. Derek raised an eyebrow.

"Really, well then we'll have to make a habit of it." He said. I smiled.

"I'd like that very much." I said. Soon, Derek's lips were on mine, and the fire was burning deep within my soul. I pulled away and smiled. "You know, I never expected my life to turn out this way." I said. Derek stilled. "Are you happy?" he asked, a little unsure of himself.

I smiled. "More than anything." I said. Derek smiled. "I'm glad." He replied. "Well, I guess we should get started with are day." I said. Derek smiled. "I like the sound of that." He replied. I giggled and headed to get into the car. As I drove to my destination, I thought about my life.

I had never expected this to happen. I felt like I was floating in the air and was in total peace. I was happy. It was almost like myst. It comes around once in a while. And the red moon comes around once in a while. I was happy under the red myst of the moonlight, and I never wanted it to change.
