An Uneasy Accord

Chapter 21 - Accept

The next morning found Brooklyn sitting on the couch and staring out the window. Her thoughts were lost in the previous night or more specifically the kiss she shared with Derek. She thought at first it was the wolf side wanting to act out its lustful desires upon her body but just one look into his rich beautiful eyes told the hunter otherwise….

It was him….

Not the wolf….

Derek wanted it…..

The tiny smile crept up on her lips as her heart rate kicked up and skin turned flush. She felt like a teenager all over again, a teenager who had just been kissed for the first time.

Derek quietly sat up on the mattress and watched the hunter as she sat in silence. He could hear her heart quickening slightly but overall Brooklyn was calm and at ease. Her hair was disheveled but still looked beautiful nonetheless.

I had done it….

Because I wanted to….

I wanted her…..

The ruffling of sheets alerted the hunter to Derek's presence and slowly she turned around.

"Well good morning sunshine," she chuckled lightly. Brooklyn crossed the room and eased her body back down on the mattress beside him. Uncertainty swirled in her stormy depths as she attempted to say something, anything about what happened between them.

"Brooklyn about last night," he started to say but was silenced by the sudden by welcomed pressure of her lips against his. Derek groaned into her mouth at light brushing of her tongue across his. The thick heat danced along the hot wet recesses of his mouth, hungrily exploring what she had missed before. Her hands slowly reached out and traced the defined rips and cuts along his upper torso, savoring at how this body reacted to the sensual but simple caresses. Neither could ignore something was there, something intimate but genuine. The hunter's heard raced as his rough but attentive hands gathered the grey tank top.

Derek took in the sight before him before swooping in to taste her lips once more. The sun cast an ethereal glow across her skin as her hair shined like the rising sun.

"Are you sure?" He pulled away and peered into her lust blown eyes. Brooklyn hesitated but felt her head nodding up and down.

"Yes," she whispered. "I know it's you."

Her words ripped through his soul like powerful bolt of lightning. It had been so hard to keep his human and wolf urges from breaking free and carrying them out on the vulnerable human. But this time it was different.

He lowered her body back up on the bed, leaving invisible trails of kisses across her bare skin. His strong hands fondled and caressed then turned their attention to the loose drawstring of her pants. Brooklyn covered her mouth to keep the screams muffled that escaped between her lips as his tongue darted across the hemline and dipped below. Her hips bucked up in need and want but Derek kept her pinned into the mattress with one hand. His other hand shredded the charcoal material and black cotton beneath pausing only to press a hungry kiss upon her lips.

Brooklyn watched as Derek peeled away his jeans and boxers and heard herself gasping at the naked form above her.

"Do you trust me…."

"Yes…."

His eyes remained the gentle sea green, reassuring the hunter it was Derek and not the wolf. Brooklyn welcomed him with waiting arms as Derek lowered his body on top of hers. It just felt right being enveloped with his body. Perhaps his human side wanted her as his mate after all…..
