Chapter 15: Because I Need You
Derek's POV:
"Night, Lee. Love you" I said, kissing her hair and pulling her closer to me. It felt so good to be this close to her. I have never experienced anything like this before.
"Night, Der, Love you too. Oh, and don't forget I'm going to make you regret teasing me like this…" She said, getting in a comfortable position and falling asleep in my arms.
I loved this woman with all that I had, with every cell in my body. I loved her and I needed her. She was everything in my life. Whatever she wanted, I would give to her. She was the most important person in my life now, and this is how I wanted to spend forever, with her, in my arms.
*°*
I woke to the sound of Leah's deep breathing. Her head was resting in the crook of my neck. Her hands were wrapped around my chest and her leg was on my hip. I could wake up to this every morning for the rest of my life, or eternity in my case.
Yesterday was a bit chaotic, plain and simple, but thankfully everything was going great! Leah finally opened up to me, and we kissed. Everything was great until Sam-the-Ass decided to play lets-protect-the-person-I-hurt-the-most game! Like I would let anything happen to my angel! Ugh-anyway, Emily seemed like a nice person. Poor lady, being married to such an arrogant jack-ass. I can't still believe that Lee actually dated Sam, but underneath that entire rough exterior I could see the regret and hurt at some of the things he said.
But after that disastrous evening, the night ended amazingly well. I got to tell Leah how I really felt and she mirrored my feeling. I got to spend the night with her in my arms. How could that not qualify as an incredibly amazing night?!
After a while, Lee started to stir in her sleep and with a sleepy yawn she opened her beautiful chocolate brown eyes. "You wanna know something? It's kind of creepy that you watch me sleep," She said, smiling at me.
"I wasn't watching you sleep!" I whined. "Where did you get that idea from?" I asked trying to sound perplexed.
"Oh, so you don't think I'm worth looking at?" She asked feigning to be hurt, while putting a hand on her chest. "It hurts babe,"
I loved it when she calls me babe! Ugh, I'm such a pansy or better yet, a girl.
"Oh babe, it's just that I want to do other things to you instead of just looking at you," I smirked at her while rolling us around so that I could be on top of her.
She immediately perked up at my revelation but instead of kissing me like I thought she would she turned us around till she was on top of me. "I told you," she paused and kissed my neck. "That you were going to pay for your teasing stunt yesterday." She breathed in my ear.
Chills ran up and down my body. Her legs were straddling my hip and her hands were now pinning mine to the bed.
"You know, I could easily get you off me. I'm stronger than you," I teased her.
"But you don't want me to get off you," She purred and started to trail kisses on my shoulder.
"True," I said and claimed her lips.
This kiss was completely different from the one we shared yesterday; this was need in its most primal state. Our lips were battling each other. Leah sucked on my bottom lip and I licked hers asking for permission, she granted it and moaned when I licked the roof of her mouth. Her mouth tasted like oranges and vanilla, just like her scent, but there was something else too, mint… She tasted wonderful and I couldn't get enough of her!
She finally released my hands and I quickly rolled us around again. Her hands went to my shoulders, where she gripped so hard that if it wasn't for the fact that I was a werewolf she would have broken a bone or two.
We ended the kiss, both gasping when we both needed air, so I started to trail kisses on her jaw, then down her neck and up her ear. I sucked on the skin there, earning a growl from her; her hand went immediately to my hair and bit my shoulder.
"Shit, that was so fucking hot!" I moaned and licked the outside of her ear and gawked at her earlobe. Leah whimpered at the contact and locked her legs around my waist, making us so close to each other that I could feel every part of her against me. I couldn't take it anymore and my lips came crashing down on hers, claiming her again. If we didn't stop now I don't think I would have the strength to stop later.
Apparently my prayers were heard –not that I wanted them to be heard- the door to Leah's room burst open and a bell-like voice said.
"I'm finally home Le- Ohh!!"
A rough voice followed. "Ness, wait for me, don't open the-" And there stood Jacob Black, my Alpha, besides his wife, Nessie. "Door," he finished.
And there was I, straddling Leah, without a shirt on, Leah just wearing her panties and a little top, her legs around me. My Alpha, our Alpha- he didn't know that I was her imprint- and his wife, were watching with a shocked expression on their faces. Fuck my life.
"Wha- a- What the hell, Derek!" Well, the shock has passed…
Leah and I immediately stood up from the bed, each one of us standing like 10 feet apart from one another.
"Hey Jakey, how did the honeymoon go?" Leah asked, but Jake wasn't hearing anyone.
"Derek, how could you, my beta?! You knew about imprinting! You can't just come and fuck my freaking beta and one of my best friends!"
Great, he was shaking! Another Sam moment!
"Hey Jake, man, this is all a huge misunderstand-" I couldn't even get to finish cause Jake had me pinned to the wall by my neck.
"I trusted you man! How could you do this? What is Seth gonna think of me? I was supposed to keep Leah safe!" Jake rambled.
"Jacob Black! Get you freaking hands of my freaking imprint! NOW!" Leah yelled.
Jacob let me go as fast as he could. "Why didn't you say so?" He was smiling like he just won the lottery. Freaking Bi-Polar werewolves! He helped me get up on my feet and immediately hugged me. "Sorry man, I never thought that, whatever, I'm for ya man, Leah's amazing."
"Please Ness, you're killing me" Leah whimpered, when Nessie held her tightly in a hug.
"I'm so happy for you Lee, I'm so happy! I can't believe it! This is so amazing! Now we both get to be completely happy!" Nessie gushed.
"Hey babe, you're killing her, come on, let her go, she can bite!" Jake joked.
Nessie let go of Leah with a "sorry Lee" and went to be besides Jacob, who immediately put his hand on her waist.
Leah went to my side and I placed my hand over her shoulders and she placed hers on my waist.
"Jake, Ness, this is Derek" She said smiling hugely at me, my heart just melted at that, she was just as happy as I was to be with each other.
"Nice to meet you Derek" Nessie smiled at me and extended her hand for me to shake, I shake it and was surprised to see how warn it was.
"You hot too!" I blurted out, and immediately regretted it.
Everybody started laughing and between laughs Ness said "I understand Derek, I'm almost as warm as you guys" She winked and we kept laughing.
"Ok guys, get dressed, Esme made the biggest breakfast buffet I've ever seen!" Jake said and dragged an amused Nessie out of the door.
Leah turned and smiled at me, she looked so happy, she was almost glowing, "So, go get dressed, I'm sure there are some decent clothes in the guys room".
"Ok babes, don't miss me too much" I winked and kissed her pouty lips; she laughed and shooed me out of her room.
I went quickly to the guy's room and looked around, in the dresser were only boxers and shorts or cut off's but he closet was full of shirts and jeans, poor Alice, I don't know in what world she thought the guys were gonna wear this, especially after patrol…
I quickly took my shorts off and put some light jeans, a black shirt and some black and white shoes. I went to the bathroom and finished with trying to arrange my not-so-arrange-able hair, when I surrendered, I made my way downstairs, Lee was already chatting excitedly with Nessie, she was wearing a pair of black shorts, a white tank top and white flip flops.
"Ready?" Jake asked.
"Sure, let's go" I answered.
We made our way towards the mansion; Leah and I were holding hands and smiling at each other, while Jake and Nessie talked excitedly about their trip to Las Bahamas, Atlantis. I've never been there, but just by their description of the place I already knew that I wanted to go, and there was just one person in this world that I wanted to go with.
I looked at Leah while we were walking and smiled. She was smiling and her eyes were shinning with happiness. I was happy to think that maybe this happiness was because of me; she was so beautiful. She didn't need make-up or fancy clothes to look beautiful. She was perfect, just the way I liked her. Back in LA, all the girls I dated were fake and wore artificial tans and high pitched voices that were annoying. They only cared about their nails, hair and what they could buy thanks to their parents' credit cards. Well, they weren't all like that, but the majority of the crowd I hung out with was like that. I still miss Tom and Mark, they tried to contact me while I was there, but I never saw that as a possibility. Someday I could go back and talk to them; maybe Leah would come with me and meet my grandparents. That thought made me smile even more. I wanted Lee to be completely in my life!
When we got to the house, Quil and Embry were waiting on the porch for Jake and Nessie. While they were hugging and teasing Jake about his wedding night, Leah turned around and looked at me in the eye. "What were you thinking about on the way here? You seemed pretty out of it." She smiled.
"You," I simply answered. Leah blushed and gave me a little peck on the lips, but I wanted more. I caught her upper lip with mine and kissed her with all that I had; she returned the kiss eagerly, her hands resting in my shoulders.
Before I could drag her back to her house, someone cleared their throat, bringing us back to the cruel reality.
"Yeah, yeah! We all know how happy you guys are together, now come on!" Rosalie said smirking at us.
I smiled and made my way with Leah by my side towards the house, all the vamps minus Edward and Bella were in the living room, and they all looked smugly at us.
"Pay up," Quil said happily.
Rosalie, Alice, Emmett, Jasper and Embry grumbled and gave Quil big stacks of money.
"Shit guys! Couldn't you wait another week?" Emmett started winning. "I'm really disappointed in you Leah, I thought you were stronger than that!"
"Just two more days, two more days." Embry was almost crying.
"You guys bet on when were Derek and I were gonna end up together?!" Leah asked perplexed.
They all nodded guiltily and when Leah and I looked at each other we burst out laughing hysterically, the guys joined and soon we were all laughing.
After we calmed ourselves all the people that could eat went towards the kitchen; when we were all eating I decided to ask.
"So Nessie, can I ask you a question?"
"Yeah sure Derek, what do you want to know?" Nessie answered smiling at me.
"You can eat all human food, or just some things?"
"Um, I can survive on human food for a month, give it or take, so I hunt one or two times a month. I can eat anything but I prefer sweets," She smiled pointing at her plate of waffles covered in chocolate and powdered sugar.
"Great and you can show people your thoughts?" I asked almost shyly, I was curious about her power.
She nodded. "I can project my thoughts to anyone I want, at first I had to touch them but now I can just think out it and show it to you without touching." She smiled. "Wanna see?" She asked.
I smiled and nodded.
As soon as I nodded images that weren't mine flooded through my mind. The first thoughts were of Nessie's wedding from her perspective. I could see Jake in his suit and Leah looking lovely in a beautiful dress, smiling at her. There were images of Leah, Rosalie and Alice dressing her up for her first date with Jake; Images of Billy –Jacob's father-, Quil, Embry, Seth, the La Push pack, Rachel and a man, who I assume was her husband Paul with their kids, after a while my vision came back and everyone was looking at me expectantly.
"That was freaking amazing!" I said, "Wow, I, I saw everything!"
"Glad you liked it. I think you are the first person that doesn't freak out about my abilities." Nessie laughed sheepishly. "I remember the first time I showed Leah, she jumped like three feet high up in the air and then tried to avoid me."
"You didn't give a warning, you just placed your hand and showed me a picture of Jacob, what did you expect me to do?" Leah mumbled embarrassed, but I could see the corner of her mouth curving into a ghost of a smile.
We ate and joked around for a while, Jacob and Nessie were really cool. Jake was laid-back and funny, I could also see he and Nessie cared deeply for Leah, it was nice to know that she had people that loved her.
These were the times that I really enjoyed, besides spending time with Leah, of course. After my parents died, these kinds of happy and loving moments died with them. I moved with my grandfathers after their death and I became lonely. Sure my grandparents loved me and took care of me, but I still felt alone. That's why I started Medical school; I knew that it was a time consuming carrier. I also liked the idea of being able to help people. It gave me the opportunity to be with others, instead of by myself.
My thoughts were interrupted by Nessie talking. "So, what is my grandma doing in the backyard? I knew she was doing our house" She pointed at Jacob and herself. "But I didn't know she was doing another project".
"Umm, it's a surprise for Derek here," Leah said smiling at me.
"A surprise! What is it?" I asked curiously. Esme was making something for me?
"Well, if I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise." Leah rolled her eyes. "It will be ready by Friday, just four more days!" She smiled at me.
"Whatever, I'll find out babes" I kissed her forehead and placed my hand in her shoulder again.
We smiled at each other and when we turned around everyone was looking at us with smiles on their faces, even Embry, but he still looked kind of hurt, I so wanted him to imprint, I hate that he is suffering, now that Lee has me...
"What?" Leah asked annoyed, her eyes wide open as she stared around the room. They looked like deer's-caught-in-headlights and quickly changed the subject.
"Oh, I totally forgot. The guys will be arriving any minute, they wanted to see Jake and the girls wanted to see if I didn't follow my mom's steps and got myself pregnant!" Nessie laughed.
"What guys?" I asked.
"Ohh, the pups that were the last to phase Collin, Brady and the other seven, you saw them yesterday, it's just that it wasn't time for introductions…" Embry answered.
"What do you mean happened yesterday?" Jake asked.
"Oh, about that, Sam kind of saw Derek and Leah kissing yesterday at the cliffs and went ballistic. He thought Derek was an un-imprinted wolf and got into protector mode," Quil answered and Leah scoffed at this.
"More like lets-ruin-Leah's-life-mode" She said, "He attacked Derek! Was he fucking crazy! He phased after year strait of not phasing!"
"Holy Shit and I totally forgot to tell him that Derek was coming. I didn't want him trying to meet him before I did." Jake said sheepishly. "Sorry guys".
"No problem Jake, it was fun! And Leah here got a chunk out of him, she went all alpha/beta/she-wolf on his ass!" Quil joked.
Leah blushed at the comment. She was probably remembering my innuendo from yesterday. I kissed her shoulder and chuckled and she mock-punched me and kissed my cheek.
"I told him you were gonna talk to him this week," Leah said.
"Yeah, I'll call him tomorrow" Jake said.
"By the way, where are Edward and Bella?" Leah asked.
Nessie blushed a deep scarlet and Jake laughed. "Well, Edward, he couldn't take our newly-wed thoughts."
We all laughed and started mocking Ness about her daddy knowing every little thing she did when the door bell rang.
"The pups are here!" Jake said excitedly.
We all scrambled out of the room and went to greet them, the vamps were gone. I guess they thought the guys would feel better that way.
When the "pups" entered the house, Leah and Nessie greeted them warmly, like nothing had happened yesterday. There were nine wolfs with their imprints. All the guys were different from one another, in size and look, except two could really pass for brothers.
"Hey, guys, so, I wanted you to meet Quil's cousin and Leah's imprint, Derek Ateara." Jake said pointing at me.
They all came pair by pair.
"Hey, I'm Collin and this is Jess." Said a guy with light brown hair, and pointed to a light blonde haired and blue eyed girl. She smiled shyly at me and I greeted the two.
Then came Brady and Eli, Brady was as tall as Collin and had dark brown curly hair. He was outspoken and funny and Eli had dirty blond hair, green eyes and was just as outspoken and funny as Brady.
Then I met, Kane and Kendra. Kane was a joker. He had black hair and dark russet skin just like Jacob. Kendra was pretty tranquil. She had pretty grayish-blue eyes, long black hair and pale skin; she didn't look Quileute at all.
Kevin and Lulu; Kevin was what you would call in a high school a Jock, but he was pretty quiet and mellow guy, the total opposite of his imprint Lulu, who had her dark brown hair covered in purple highlights and was energetic all over.
Ruly and Sasha; Ruly was laid-back and very smart and Sasha was really angelic and caring, she had bronze hair just like Ness and vibrant green eyes.
Will and Monica; I could describe this couple in two words, cool and collected, Will was laid-back and easy going and Monica was just the same, she had really light gray eyes and black hair.
The twins, Aden and Victor were complete opposites, in looks and personalities. Victor was relaxed and caring, just like his imprint Jamie, she was quiet, shy and sweet all over, Jamie was from Japan, her mom, who was Quileute, married a Japanese guy after meeting him on a business trip and they moved to La Push on Jamie's junior year. Because her mom wanted Jamie lo live in America and her dad got a promotion in his company to work in Seattle; Aden was loud, funny and energetic, the opposite of Victor. His imprint Nataly was a kick-ass; loud-spoken, rocker kind of girl. She had a lip ring, and wore her light brown hair in that emo-style cut. Let's just say, Leah loved her!
And at last, Jhon and Ally. Jhon was short, for a wolf I mean, he was 6' feet tall and wasn't really buff, but he was a joker and loved cars. Ally was this caring-happy-go-lucky girl. She was that kind of person that made you like her immediately, always smiling and talking.
After all the introductions were made, the girls, including Leah and Nessie, went to talk in one of the living rooms. I could hear them talking animatedly to Nessie about her honeymoon and to Leah about Seth's and Angie's engagement.
We, the guys, decided to play X-Box and eat all the snacks that Esme had in the kitchen drawers. All the guys were really cool, they all acted like a big family and it was really nice. We played and joked around, until seven when they had to leave for Seattle again.
We said our goodbyes and they promised to come back for Bree's birthday, A.K.A Sam's daughter, who was tuning 4 and for Seth's birthday. They also promised not to tell Seth that his sister had an imprint or about me yet. They all wanted to see his face when he came.
Quil and Embry left shortly after that and we all settled in the living room to listen to Jake and Nessie talk about their honeymoon and the places they saw and how beautiful it all was. After a while of talking, Edward and Bella came back into the house. Bella was shielding Jake's and Nessie's thoughts, trying to avoid any awkwardness that may happen, since Edward was a mind reader…
When Nessie signaled Jake to go to their house –which was all they talked about now, Lee and me decided to go see it tomorrow-, Leah and I took it as a signal to leave the mansion. I was excited. There was nothing better than spending time with my imprint. Leah had that special something to make my heart beat fast against my chest. We walked hand in hand down the narrowed pathway that led to Leah's cabin. The sun was hidden behind thick gray clouds, but I didn't care. My sun was beside me, illuminating my afternoon. Every smile that Leah gave me, was enough to make me lose my footing and wobble as, we talked about our future together.
When we made it to the front steps of her cabin, I let go of her hand and leaned against the balustrade of her porch. It was starting to rain, but that didn't matter. Leah was with me and I felt complete.
"What's wrong?" Leah asked, as she walked to where I stood. "You look sad,"
I shook my head and crossed my arms over my chest. "I'm just thinking that I haven't kissed you since this morning, Lee."
She smiled at me and jabbed me on my side. "C'mon, tell me what you are thinking." she said playfully, as she grabbed the collar of my shirt and slowly pressed her body closer to me. "I want to know everything about you." she whispered closed to my lips.
I smiled happily at her. "It's the truth, Lee," I paused, placing my hands on her waist. "You and I haven't kissed at all today."
"We kissed this morning," she said impishly. "Doesn't that count?"
"Um," I said, bending my head down. "I wouldn't consider that a kiss… I mean, I want, you know- I need, Leah," I rambled, as I slowly touched her lips with mine. She wasn't smiling anymore. Her eyes were closed, as she anticipated my lips. She snaked her arms around my neck and brought my face closer to hers. "Lee, you're amazing," I paused, when she silent me with her perfect lips. I glided my tongue over her lips, without asking permission, I entered her mouth and explored every contour of her mouth. She moaned loudly, as she took my bottom lip between hers and bit it gently. I lifted her up in my arms and pressed her body closer to me. "You know that I love you and want to spend all my life with you, right?"
"Yes," she answered against my lips.
"Good," I smiled. "Because I need you,"
