Chapter 21

Scarlet didn't feel well the next day so her dad let her stay home again. She spent all day curled up in the bed, she had no idea where Derek was. He left shortly after he told her she should talk to her dad. Stiles hadn't said much when he got home, just stuck his head in to make sure she was ok, before going about his business.

She barely slept that night, worry and fear keeping her up. In the morning she felt terrible and it was obvious that she looked it. Her dad took one look at her and told her to stay home again. If she wasn't better soon, she was going to the doctor. Stiles literally ran out of the house that morning. He told her before he left that he had seen Derek the night before, that he was fine and was working on the Alpha thing.

Scarlet didn't feel better though, she felt worse. She knew something was wrong, but she also knew that she couldn't go to the doctor for it. Whatever it was had to be related to the marks on her back and a doctor probably couldn't help with that.

Scarlet slept most of the day, but she was awoken by a door slamming and then a loud thump. She stumbled out of bed and headed into the hallway. The hall swam before her eyes and she tripped her way across it and leaned against the wall next to Stiles' door.

"So where is Scarlet," she heard someone ask through the door.

"She's in her room dude, where do you think she is?"

"I can't smell her, there is a weird scent in your house."

"Like what," Stiles asked.

"Something rotting."

Scarlet raised her arm and weakly knocked on the door. She slid down to the floor as she waited for Stiles to open it. He yanked it open after a moment and stuck just his head out into the hallway.

"Hey, there you are, how are you feeling?" Instead of answering, Scarlet turned her head away and threw up. "Hey Derek, you might want to come out here."

Scarlet rested her head against the wall and let her eyes slide shut. She felt someone's hand on her face before they lifted her off the floor. "Clean that up, I'm going to take care of her," Derek told Stiles.

Derek carried her back into her room and sat her on the bed. He tugged her shirt off and dropped it on the floor. He removed the bandages from her back, a sharp gasp escaping when he saw it.

"Scarlet, how long has it been like this," he asked.

Scarlet weakly shook her head. "I don't know, it's not getting better and I keep getting sicker."

"Why didn't you tell Scott? He could have found me for you."

"I've barely seen Stiles and I haven't seen Scott at all."

"I'm going to have to open these so they can drain, its going to hurt," Derek warned her. He picked her up off the bed and carried her into the bathroom. He set her in the tub, positioning her so her back was to him. He washed his hands before coming back to her. "You ready?"

"Yeah," she whispered. She flinched when Derek's claws dug into her back but did not cry out. Tears streamed silently down her face as Derek worked, every once in a while, he would simply stop and press his hand to her back.

"What are you doing," Scarlet finally asked.

"I'm able to draw some of the infection out of you and into my body, since I can heal so quickly."

"Does it hurt you?"

"No, I'm fine. Is it helping?"

Scarlet nodded slowly. "I'm starting to feel better already."

Derek finished up what he was doing and turned on the water in the tub. He helped Scarlet to her feet and she slipped the rest of her clothes off. She stepped back into the tub and sat down.

She flinched when the water made contact with her back. Derek ran a hand through her hair trying to comfort her. Scarlet turned her head to the side and met his gaze. "There's blood on your shirt," she whispered.

"It's fine, I'm fine."

"Is it your blood?"

"Yeah."

"Did you find out who the alpha is?"

"Not yet, I'm working on it," Derek assured her. He shut the water off and eased Scarlet back into the water. She hissed in pain but didn't complain, once it stopped stinging it actually felt pretty good.

Scarlet blushed when she saw the way Derek was watching her. She dropped her gaze, a small smile playing at her lips. "What are you thinking about," she asked.

"You," Derek said honestly. "How much I have screwed up your life since you met me."

"You haven't screwed up my life."

"Yeah Scarlet, I have. You wouldn't be in any danger if it weren't for me."

"Trust me, I get you out of this deal, I think I am doing pretty good. Besides if I'm not upset about it you can't be either."

"That is the most ridiculous logic I've ever heard."

"I'm glad I have you in my life, yes things have been hard lately. We still have each other though, that's all that matters," Scarlet pointed out. She sat up and drained the tub, climbing out with Derek's help. He wrapped a towel around her and pressed a kiss to her forehead.

"Scarlet," Derek said seriously. "You don't understand how much danger you are in."

"Yeah, Derek I do."

"I don't think you do."

"Derek, the alpha got me out of my house and could have killed me, I totally understand the danger I'm in. It doesn't help that you are now the most wanted man in California and the Argents know that we are together. So tell me what's been going on please? Maybe there is something I can do to help you."

"I'm trying to figure out who the alpha is. Every time I think I'm getting close something happens and I'm even farther from the truth."

"Having to take care of me isn't helping," Scarlet mumbled as she made her way into her room and started to get dressed. She paused when she felt Derek's hands on her waist.

"I like taking care of you," he whispered before pressing his lips to her neck. Scarlet relaxed into him, tipping her head back to give him better access. Derek swept her hair out of the way as he continued to tease the soft skin. Scarlet let out a breathy moan and twisted around to catch his lips in a gentle kiss.

Scarlet laced her fingers in his hair and pulled him closer, letting him deepen the kiss. Derek walked them back toward the bed, slowly lowering her down on it, before joining her. Derek held himself over her, a smile on his lips as he stared down at her.

"You have no idea what you do to me," he said. Scarlet blushed and glanced down. "I didn't mean it like that Scar."

Her blush deepened as she glanced up to meet his gaze. She raised herself up slightly to catch his lips in a kiss. "Show me," she whispered. "Show me what I do to you."

"Scarlet," Derek warned as she tugged at his shirt. "We shouldn't."

"Derek, I'm tired of thinking about it, I want this, please."

They stared at one another for a long moment. Derek knew he was going to give in, but tried to hold out. There was so much care in her big brown eyes, it was all for him, and he knew then that she loved him and that he loved her back. He'd do anything for her, do anything to keep her safe and protect her from the monsters in this world.

Derek kissed her again, deepening it, as his hands found the hem of his shirt and tugged it off. Scarlet raised her arms and let him pull her shirt off as well. She shivered slightly as her still damp skin was exposed to the cold air of her room. Derek gently rubbed her arms before kissing her again. He pushed her back against the bed, making sure she was comfortable beneath him.

Derek slowly slid a hand up her stomach before cupping one of her breasts. A breathy moan fell from her lips as she arched slightly. Derek teased her with his hands as he worked his lips down her neck. Derek glanced up at her for a moment before his lips closed over one of her nipples. Scarlet let out a soft cry as he swirled his tongue around the hard nipple.

Derek kissed across her chest to her other breast, giving it the same gentle and teasing treatment. Scarlet rolled her hips against him, causing them both to moan at the friction. Derek smirked at her for a moment.

"What," she asked suddenly self conscious.

"You're already wet for me," he said as his smirk grew.

"Uh," Scarlet blushed deeply and glanced away from him. "You haven't even, how can you, I'm confused, how do you know?"

"Don't, it's hot. Heightened senses baby, I can tell."

Before Scarlet could say anything else he kissed his way down her body and slowly slid her underwear down her legs. He dropped them on the floor and raked his gaze over her body. She was completely bare before him, a blush slowly creeping down her face and chest as he stared at her. He had never seen anything so beautiful in his life.

Scarlet pushed herself up and kissed him hard, sliding her hands into his hair. Derek wrapped his arms around her and slowly lowered them back down to the bed. As the kiss deepened, Derek slid a hand down her body and teased her open. He slipped a finger between her wet folds before circling her hard nub. Scarlet gasped into the kiss, before breaking it and pressing her forehead against his.

"You like that," Derek asked lowly. Scarlet nodded silently her eyes drifting shut as he continued to touch her. "I don't know what you want if you don't tell me baby. Tell me what you want."

Scarlet's eyes snapped open and she stared at him, her eyes wide in confusion. Jackson had never asked her that, it had always been about what she could do for him, not what he could do for her.

"He never asked you that, did he," Derek guessed.

"No," Scarlet said softly. She moaned as Derek increased the pressure of his stroke on her.

"Tell me what you want Scarlet." Scarlet moaned again as Derek slipped a finger deep inside her. "Moans aren't instructions baby."

"Your mouth, use your mouth," Scarlet panted. Derek kissed her neck, slowly working his way down her body. Scarlet's eyes slid closed in anticipation. She cried out and arched hard when Derek's lips closed over her. Derek pressed a hand to her hips, holding her in place. His mouth worked magic on her, the perfect combination to drive her crazy with pleasure. Derek could see that she was close and he added another finger, crooking them both inside her, brushing that spot that made her writhe beneath him.

Derek glanced up as he drove her to the edge, Scarlet came with a long cry, his name falling from her lips again and again. Derek kept going until her spasms stilled as she went limp beneath him. Scarlet's eyes fluttered open as Derek kissed his way back up her body, catching her lips in a gentle kiss. She could taste herself on his tongue as it slid between her lips. She groaned into the kiss, her hands scrambling down to his jeans to unbutton them.

Scarlet slid a hand into his boxers, teasing him. Derek let out a grumble of approval as he pushed his jeans and boxers down his hips. He kicked them off before kissing her hard. Scarlet shifted beneath him, rolling him onto his back and settling on top of him.

Derek couldn't help but smirk at her, perched above him, her hair in wild waves as she stared down at his body. "Jesus, you are hot," she mumbled before pressing a kiss to his chest. She kissed her way down his chest, freezing when she got to his cock.

"What's wrong," Derek asked as he propped himself up on his elbows.

"You are really big," Scarlet said, still staring at him.

"Ok," Derek said slowly. He quickly put the pieces together. "It will fit Scar."

"It will hurt."

Derek sat up and kissed her as he pulled her into his arms. He could feel himself growing harder as she pressed herself against him. He kissed her neck, biting down slightly, loving the way she moaned and arched against him. "I'll make it good, I promise. Are you on birth control?"

"Yeah, why," Scarlet asked.

"I don't have a condom," Derek explained. His head tipped back as Scarlet stroked him a few times. He let out a groan as she kissed his neck while she stroked him. Derek caught her hand, showing her how much pressure to use. He guided her hand through a few strokes, before letting her go. He groaned when she took him into her mouth. He kept his hips still, resisting the urge to buck up into her mouth.

"God Scarlet," he said as his hand fisted in her hair. "Stop baby, I want to be in you."

Scarlet sat up and stared at him for a moment. Derek pulled her into his arms, situating her in his lap. He leaned back against her headboard before slipping his fingers deep inside of her. His thumb circled her clit as he slipped another finger into her, preparing her. Scarlet dropped her head onto his shoulder, moaning against his skin.

"You ready," Derek whispered. Scarlet kissed his shoulder before positioning herself over him, she slowly guided him to her entrance. She bit her lip as she lowered herself onto him, slowly taking him deeper. She whimpered softly and Derek caught her lips in a gentle kiss, rubbing at her back to get her to relax. Derek was deep inside of her, she was so tight and hot around him that he let out a groan, not moving a muscle until she was ready.

Scarlet leaned into the kiss as the pain slowly went away and was replaced. She shifted her hips slightly gasping in pleasure. Derek's hand found her hips and he began to guide her through the movement. He let Scarlet set the pace, drinking in her body as she rode him. Derek slid one hand between them, rubbing her clit. Scarlet cried out in pleasure, her head rolling back as she did so. Derek's lips closed over one of her nipples as his thumb worked at her.

Scarlet's hips began to move in a frantic motion, driving her closer. "I can't, I need, I'm so close," she whimpered.

Derek pressed a hand to her mouth as he kissed her neck. The last thing they needed was Stiles hearing this and barging in on them. Derek bit her neck, letting his teeth prick her skin, knowing it would send her over the edge. It worked and Scarlet came in waves around him, her cried muffled by his hand against her lips.

Scarlet collapsed against him, panting as sweat slid down her body. She shook as the last waves of pleasure coursed through her. It took a minute for her to realize that Derek was still deep inside her, hard as a rock.

"You didn't," she started to say, but Derek cut her off. "I will," he assured her. He flipped her onto her back, pushing deep inside her. She let out another moan as Derek set a steady pace. Scarlet wrapped her legs around his waist, meeting him thrust for thrust. Derek could feel her walls fluttering around him already.

"Again," he asked before kissing her.

"More, don't stop," Scarlet whined as he slipped a hand between them again. Her nails dug into his shoulders as she came again. "I love you."

It came out before she could stop it, but as she pressed her forehead against his and rode out her orgasm she knew it was true. Derek growled above her before catching her lips in a bruising kiss. He grabbed her legs, placing them against his shoulders, changing the angle and driving into her even faster than before.

"Say it again," he ordered.

"I love you," Scarlet moaned. He pushed into her at an inhuman speed, sweat rolling down his body. Scarlet knew she was being too loud as Derek drove into her, but it felt too good for her to care. Scarlet came again arching hard as the waves crashed over her. Hearing his name fall from her lips as she writhed beneath him, pushed Derek over the edge and he came with a shout.

Derek slowly pulled out of her, collapsing next to her, his body slick with sweat. He pressed a kiss to the top of her head as she rolled onto her side and curled into him. "I'm going to have to take another shower now," she mumbled against his chest.

"I'd be more than happy to help you with that," Derek replied.

"I don't think I can trust you to keep your hands to yourself during the shower."

"What's the fun in that?"

"Why are you here anyway," she asked as she propped herself up on her elbows. "Aren't you worried about my dad finding you?"

"Apparently the sheriff's house is the best place to hide from the sheriff," Derek explained. "It was Scott's idea."

"You can't hide at his house?"

"You don't want me to hide out here," Derek said in an offended tone. Scarlet knew he was teasing though.

"I don't want my dad to find you naked in my bed and kill you."

"Well then maybe we should take that shower you were talking about, before someone barges in and catches us," Derek suggested as he pulled her into a kiss. Scarlet pulled away from him and let out a long yawn. She rested her chin on his chest and closed her eyes as his fingers ran through her hair.

"Can we just stay like this for a little while," she whispered. "This is the safest I've felt in days."

"Whatever you want baby."
