The Fox and The Wolf - Book Two {Sterek}

Chapter 19: Perks

"Uhh..." Scott trailed off, obviously very confused. Derek and I glanced at each other, still in our wolf and fox forms. Scott sniffed the air and then understanding dawned on his face as he surveyed us again. "Derek? Stiles? What the hell?"

Ha! Look at his face! I giggled. I'm gonna change back, I said in my head excitedly.

Uhh, Stiles... you'll be naked. Derek thought bluntly.

Oh god- right, I thought back. That's so not something my best friend needs to see.

The only thing Scott could hear throughout our telepathic conversation were whines and yips. He looked back and forth between us with a completely bewildered expression. I could smell his confusion, it was overpowering. I looked into his eyes, trying to convey the 'be back in a sec' that I wanted to say but couldn't. I took off back up the stairs with Derek following behind me.

"Uhh... I'll just wait here," Scott called out after us.

We got back to our room and I turned to my mate. Okay, how do we turn back? I asked quickly.

Same way as you normally would. Focus on your anchor. He thought simply.

Uhh... my anchor is currently a big black wolf. That might make it a little harder. I thought with heavy sarcasm.

He rolled his eyes at me. Just focus Stiles. He thought exasperatedly. I stuck my tongue out at him and he made a strangled noise that I knew to be a snort.

I took his advice, I closed my eyes and focused. I focused on my favourite colour of green, which also just so happened to be the colour of Derek's eyes. I focused on his scent of fresh forest air and cool mint. I felt a shiver of heat travel down my spine and my bones began to change. It wasn't painful... but it definitely felt odd. Very odd. When I opened my eyes again, my mate was standing in front of me in all of his naked glory. My heart sputtered in my chest at the sight.

"Son of a bitch... how did I get so lucky?" I asked, practically drooling. I started, a little surprised at my own voice and looked down at myself. Human and naked. Sweet. "I did it!" I said triumphantly, pumping my fist in the air.

Derek sighed. "Please put some clothes on before Scott comes up here after us," he beseeched as he reached for clean clothes of his own. He pulled on his boxers and I immediately began to pout. He just covered my favourite part. Pffft, who am I kidding? Every part of him is my favourite part.

"Aww! But I was enjoying the view," I whined, pouting my bottom lip unhappily. He turned slightly and gave me a wink, bending down to grab his jeans slowly. I bit my lip, totally staring at his ass. His intentional snail speed meant he was teasing. He slipped the jeans over his firm cheeks and I nearly whined out loud.

"Do I look like a cheap hooker to you?" He growled with a frown, turning around to face me. A few seconds later he cracked a smirk.

"HA! You could have never be mistaken for anything less than an Adonis in the flesh," I said seriously, my eyes raking his still bare chest. I licked my lips and he growled at the action.

"Careful Stiles... or we won't be leaving this room," he said dangerously, glancing down for a moment at my own bare body.

"Mmm, don't tempt me wolfy," I said seductively, biting my lip again. He gave me a blank stare at the new nickname.

"Yup, you ruined it," he stated, yanking his shirt on and leaving the room. I groaned in annoyance as I got up to quickly pull my own clothes on.

I was only a few steps behind Derek as we made our way to where Scott was still waiting, still with a look and scent of befuddlement. But now he smelled a little of embarrassment. I smirked at my best friend.
