Nightmares ~ Teen Wolf [Book 3]

Distractions

After getting dosed by a lethal concoction of wolfsbane and water hemlock, along with nearly falling to her death from a motel rooftop, Maya was in desperate need of a distraction from reality. Living in Beacon Hills, where the strange just keeps getting stranger, you aren't likely to catch a break easily - sometimes you have to make it happen for yourself.

"I always knew you were into me, Williams."

Rolling her eyes, Maya pressed a finger against his lips, "One more word and I will put my shirt back on and leave."

Isaac smirked and leaned in to place a kiss on the mermaid's neck, "I'm just saying-"

"Seriously, Lahey." Maya leaned back and poked him in the chest. "I just want to forget about all of the crazy shit going on for just a little bit. So, please, stop talking and kiss me."

The werewolf pulled her back towards him to pick up where they'd left off. Having had a bit of a crush on the girl since middle school, Isaac would be lying if he said he'd never thought about what it would be like to make out with Maya. It had been a shock to find the mermaid knocking on the door of the McCall house looking for him instead of Scott. She had been in need of a distraction and Isaac happened to be cute, interested, and available. At first, Isaac was mildly hesitant. After all, this was Scott's best friend and even if she was making the first move, there was a good chance of Scott killing him if he ever found out. However, one kiss was all it took to dismiss any doubt. Beautiful, intelligent, confident - who wouldn't jump at a chance with Maya Williams.

Both of their phones went off, catching Maya and Isaac's attention. If they were normal teenagers living in a normal town, their phones both going off wouldn't be cause for alarm. However, this was Beacon Hills and they were far from normal teenagers. Scrambling to check their notifications, it was obvious that their fun was at an end. The break from reality was nice while it lasted at least.

"Two more sacrifices were taken."

Nodding his head, Isaac fell back against the bed. "It was healers this time...Scott thinks his mom could be next."

"Guess this is my cue to leave." The brunette stood up and began fixing her appearance. She'd rather not have her dads and Darren asking questions that she really didn't want to answer.

Isaac raked his fingers through his curls and sent the girl a lopsided grin. "Yeah, I really don't want Scott to kick my ass."

"I wouldn't let him ruin that pretty face of yours." Maya teased him as she pulled on her jacket. "Hey, Isaac, um - thanks for helping me escape for a while." She went to open the door, but the blond reached out and pulled her back. His lips met hers with an intensity that Maya had been unprepared for. The heated kissed slowed down after a few moments and Isaac rested his forehead against Maya's. Their gaze met and Maya couldn't help but notice the warmth exuding from the blue eyes piercing into her own.

After a second, Isaac let out a soft laugh as his hands found their way to her hips, "I've been wanting to do that since seventh grade."

Maya found herself laughing too, "Goodnight, Isaac."

"Night, Maya."

It wouldn't be Mama McCall that the Darach decided to claim as its next victim. Deaton had called Scott during their chemistry class and even without superhuman hearing, Maya and Stiles knew that something was wrong. Initially, they hadn't been able to get out of class with Scott, but by next period the two friends had managed to sneak off campus in the jeep, speeding towards the veterinary clinic. Sheriff Stilinski was none too surprised to see his son and his son's best friend hot on Scott's heels, but just because he wasn't surprised didn't mean he was thrilled to see the kids. After getting the information from Scott, he gave the trio a stern, fatherly glare. "The best thing to do is for the three of you to go back to school."
