Chapter 30

Lydia:

The weeks passed quickly and quietly, thank God. Scott was at full strength, fully healed. Greenberg was in prison. He was tried as an adult for murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, assault, harassment, stalking and hit and run. Scott and I had given our statements of events, minus the supernatural portion, and with all the evidence and the fact that he was already 18 going on 19 at the time the judge threw the book at him. Especially when he lost his shit when Scott and I walked into the courtroom. He started screaming about how Scott should be dead that he should have killed him and taken me away a long time ago. Yeah, there was nothing his court appointed lawyer could do about it and his parents had washed their hands of him. Turns out he was supposed to be on medication for his issues but had stopped taking it. But he did use it to drug me. My tox screen had come back with traces of ketamine.

Today, Malia, Allison and I were getting ready for Homecoming at Allison's, well I guess mine too right now, home. Malia was fussing with the dress she picked out as Allison, and I did our makeup.

"Are you sure about this. I feel weird." Malia complained, tugging at the hem.

"Yes, you look gorgeous. Stop messing with it." Allison told her, grabbing her hand to stop her.

"Just think of Stiles reaction when he sees you. "I told her applying lipstick.

"Oh, okay. Maybe it will be the same as when he saw me naked for the first time, well second time. The first time was in the woods when the guys found me."

Allison and I both stopped what we were doing and looked at her.

"They saw you naked?" we asked in unison. We have been doing that a lot lately. Argent thought it was cute, like we were actual sisters. Isaac and Scott said it was scary.

"Yeah, I mean I had just shifted from a coyote to human it's not like I had an outfit at the ready. Stiles gave me his shirt though." She shrugged. We nodded and went back to the finishing touches.

Standing up straight I made sure my dress had no creases. Allison snapped a picture of me with her phone and started texting. I know she was sending it to my mother. Mom was here to go shopping but she couldn't get away tonight because of a work thing. I didn't mind too much. We faced time this morning and Allison had been sending her minute details of us getting ready.

"Girls, the boys are here." Argent called back to us.

"Coming." Allison told him.

"Okay, are we ready?" I asked.

"Yes, let's get this over with. If I didn't like Stiles so much, I would not be going to a school dance. There are people there." Malia said in disgust. Allison and I snorted at her.

"We are ready for the dance, but are you two ready for the rest of tonight?" Allison smirked. Malia nodded nervously, twisting her hands.

"You have been hanging around Isaac too much." I told her. She quirked an eyebrow waiting. "I have been ready for tonight for months now. So, let's go so I can get to it."

She cackled and opened the door. We could hear the guys talking in the living room and I all but ran to see Scott in a suit. I have been dreaming of it since we decided to go. And my dreams couldn't come close to what was standing in front of me when I entered the living room. Tanned skin in a white shirt unbuttoned around the collar and a black suit that fit his frame just right.

"Don't you clean up nice." I told him. He smiled, pulling a corsage out of a box, and placing it on my wrist.

"You look more beautiful than usual." He said placing a kiss on my cheek. A camera went off and I looked to see Ms. McCall the one taking it. The Sheriff and Argent were also holding up phones.

"Okay, picture time." She announced. "Each couple and then a group."

"Mom." Scott groaned.

"Scott." She mocked. Everyone snickered at the exchange.

We took more than she stated. Group, singles, just the girls, just the guys. Pictures with parents, couples. We were all pictured out when we were done.

"Okay, I'm on overnight shift. I'll be home by 10:30 am at the latest. Do not trash my house." She said to us. The story was that we were going to Scott's house to hang out after homecoming and probably crash. That's the story. The truth was that Allison and Isaac were going to Scott's, Scott and I were going to mine and Stiles and Malia to his since his dad was also working tonight.

"You're all hanging at Scott's when this is over?" Argent asked, I could hear the doubt in his tone.

"Oh yeah. Just an after dance get together. You know go over important details and reflect. A debriefing if you will." Stiles volunteered. I worked hard not to laugh. Argent turned to the sheriff.

"Are you buying this?" he asked.

"To be honest, I haven't believed a word out of Stiles' mouth since he learned to talk." He sighed. Stiles gave a half shrug in agreement that it was fair.

"I'm going to pretend I believe that. Be careful all of you but have fun at the dance." Argent said.

"Ditto." Melissa said. We waved to the parents as we left.

The gym looked great with a purple and silver theme and twinkling lights. Scott wasted no time leading me to the dance floor and wrapping me up in his arms. I laughed cause the song wasn't a slow one, he just smiled keeping me pressed against him.

"I don't think this is how Florida Georgia Line meant for this song to be dance to." I told him.

"They're wrong then, because I think this is the perfect way to dance to any song." His hands settling on my lower back.

"Maybe your right." My arms going around his neck.

"You remember last year's dance?" he asked.

"How could I forget, I almost died. But yeah, Allison talked me into going with Stiles and Jackson went with Allison, though I don't know why."

"It's because I threatened him." Scott chuckled. "It was during that whole staying away from her or her father would kill me phase."

"Oh yeah, but you snuck in anyway."

"I did and yeah, I was there for Allison but there was a moment. I fraction of one when I saw you dance with Stiles, and I… I almost wolfed out. I was so jealous that he got to touch you and I didn't. so tonight, I am making up for lost time. I plan to touch you as much as I can."

"Please do." I whispered leaning in for a kiss. "Oh, I meant to tell you. I talked to Jackson a few days ago."

"Oh yeah. How is he?" he asked though he was only half interested and only for my sake. He and Jackson don't have the best history but I'm glad he wasn't jealous.

"He's doing great. He called to tell me he met someone."

"Really. So, he's dating someone."

"Yes, and you will never guess who it is?" I couldn't help but snicker. He raised a brow in question. "Ethan."

His mouth dropped open, and I nodded.

"How the hell did that happen?"

I told him the story of how Ethan and Jackson ran into each other in London at a clothing store of all places in London, both came out of dressing room wearing the exact same outfit and that lead to them shopping together and then having tea together and now they are together. Scott snorted, shaking his head.

The song switched to an actual slow song and we both smiled feeling the lyrics were perfect for us.

You need a friend… I'll be around…don't let this end… before I see you again…

"I would go completely cheesy and sing the lyrics to you, but I'm tone deaf. It would just ruin the mood." He said making me laugh.

"Don't worry, I don't need you to sing to me, I just need you to hold me."

"Always."

I snuggled in pressing my ear to his heart.

We danced a bit longer before finding everyone else for pictures and then grabbed refreshments before being waved to a table where Liam and Mason sat with their dates. Introductions were made and we joked around just feeling good in the relaxed atmosphere, happy that we had moved past detrimental visions, stalkers, injured wolves, and control issues.

The night went quickly, the king and queen were crowned, and we lost ourselves in dancing and friends. I danced once with Isaac so Allison could dance with Scott, I took a turn with Stiles so Scott could check in with Malia, always the alpha regardless. It made me so proud. Soon the last dance was announced, and I was back in his arms.

Lyin' here with you so close to me…It's hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe…

Staring in his eyes I saw them flash red then back to brown and turn heated. I bit my bottom lip as he leaned in and placed a kiss behind my ear.

"You ready to go." His voice rumbled and I shivered in anticipation.

"Yes. Right now." I breathed. A quick wave to Allison and Isaac who laughed at how fast were walking and Stiles and Malia who were lost in their own world, and a quick check in with Liam and Mason to make sure they were okay, and we were gone. Racing out to my car, which we had taken. Spinning me he backed me up to the car and crushed his lips to mine.

Scott:

I couldn't help myself. She looks amazing in this green dress that clung to her. her hair cascading over one shoulder. Her skin was so soft, and my hands couldn't stay off her, skimming down her exposed back. The anticipation of finally being able to be with her was killing me.

"Scott, we should go." She said panting. Nodding, I opened the door and helped her in. racing around to the driver side.

The drive wasn't short enough even if it was thought it was only a few blocks. I had to keep both hands on the steering wheel, if I touched her again, we would not make it to the house. At the door she fumbled with the keys because I couldn't hold back anymore gripping her hips and pulling her back against me. sucking on her neck, sliding my hands up her torso.

"Scott." She moaned.

"Open the door, Lydia." I told her. She finally got the key in the lock. Inside, I slammed the door shut and pushed her up against it, my hands sliding her dress up.

"Up…stairs. Now." I picked her up, racing up the stairs my lips never leaving her skin. She stopped me before I got to her room. "No, next... Oh God… next room. Not here, never here."

I understood, it was where he had been. The next room was bare except for a dresser, nightstand with a lamp, and bed which had been made up with fresh sheets and decorative pillows. Setting her down I cupped her cheek.

"You're sure." I checked.

"Yes. Need you, now. I can't wait anymore." She said her fingers working the buttons on my shirt. With that 'yes,' the last of my patience left me. I ripped the buttons off the shirt, tossing both it and the jacket on the dresser. Her hands slid under my t-shirt, and I whipped it off too. her nails raking over my abs.

"I never get enough of doing that." She smirked.

"I noticed. You know what I never get enough of… seeing you." I told her sliding the thin straps of her dress down her shoulders. It fell the rest of the way pooling around her feet. No bra. Backing away from me she slid into the center of the bed, laying out with her hair spread around her. curving a finger, she beckoned me.

"Come here boyfriend."

"Oh girlfriend, you have no idea what tonight is going to bring." I said prowling to her.

"Show me."

Growling I dove for her lips again. Kissing. Moaning. Her legs around me. lips and tongues on the curve of her neck, going further. Her hands in my hair, mine on her breast. Sharp inhales, whimpers, gasps. Still moving down. Pants gone. Skin to skin, finally. Waited so long.

"Scott, need you now. Please."

"We need-."

"Nightstand." She gasped.

Fumbling with the drawer I reached in a grabbed a handful of what was in there not bothering to look, I was too busy, tasting. Tearing one open immediately. Moving back up her body I looked into the pretty green eyes. Finally, she was mine. my every thought, my every heartbeat, my every breath. My everything. She smiled the same feelings shining in her eyes.

"Love you." I whispered.

"Love you."

She gasped, arching her body into mine.

Connection. Home. Heaven.

I was woken up early the next morning, checking my phone I saw it was Isaac.

"Yeah." I answered groggily, feeling as if I just went to sleep minutes ago.

"It's going on 9:30. You two might want to get over here so we can attempt to keep up with the ruse." He said.

"Okay, we'll be there soon." I told him, disconnecting. I placed little kisses on my sleeping, adorably tousled, beauty who was laying on my chest with an arm wrapped around me, and a leg thrown over mine.

"Lydia, time to get up."

"Mmmm… do we have too." she grumbled.

"If we don't want to be caught out then we do." I chuckled.

"What time is it?"

"Almost 9:30." I told her. she whined and stretched, the covers falling from her. "But I think we could use a shower." I said, taking an earlobe into my mouth.

"Yes, we could." She said with a searing kiss before we both jumped out the bed and raced to the bathroom.

One quicky and speedy shower later we were out the door and made it to my house with 15 minutes to spare. Everyone was gathered around the dining room table; breakfast was spread out. We took a seat and grabbed plates.

"Looks like everyone had a fun night." Isaac said grinning. I looked around and everyone except two looked thoroughly satisfied.

"We didn't." Liam said.

"You're fifteen." Stiles said.

"Just pointing it out that we didn't have as fun a night as you all did." he shrugged shoveling in a fork full of eggs.

"I don't know. I had fun kicking your ass in video games all night." Mason said. Liam snorted then choked. I patted his back hard and shook my head.

"Hey guys." Mom said coming in through the kitchen.

"Hey." We greeted.

"How as last night. did you guys have fun." Instinctively we all looked at our partners and grinned.

"We had a blast." I told her.

"I don't want to know. I'm going to bed. Clean up the kitchen when you are done and keep the noise down, please."

"No problem."

She kissed the top of my head and then, because all the guys looked at her, went around and did it to everyone. Chuckling, she made her way upstairs to her room, closing the door.

"Hey Scotty, Isaac and I were thinking of heading to the field after breakfast and showing Liam a few tricks, he could use his wolf grace for. You in?" Stiles said.

I looked over at Lydia, she nodded.

"Sure, let's do it. Then maybe we can all grab lunch or dinner when done."

Everyone agreed. Lydia, Allison, and Malia talked about the dance and the people. Mason and Liam joked around about supernatural stuff and Isaac, Stiles and I talked about what all we could show him.

In all it was a perfect morning with the people I cared about. I laced my fingers with Lydia, happy with this small connection.

And it all started with just a kiss.
