DEREK

Derek and Iris finished the last bites of dinner and pushed their plates back. This time, Iris helped him cook. She enjoyed being near him and had even more fun flirting and playing with him.

While they ate, Derek filled her ears with happy childhood memories. Growing up in the pack wasn't always easy, but it provided him with a happy, stable life.

Derek leaned back in his chair. His tone softened as he spoke of his past, reminiscing about the pack's large, warm kitchen and hearty meals. He could almost smell the memory of the garlic and herbs filling the air as he described hunting trips with his father, their laughter echoing through the trees as they gathered around a freshly killed deer.

"We'd roast it over an open flame right there in the woods," he said, snapping his fingers. "The juices would drip down onto the hot coals, and the smell … Oh, man." He closed his eyes for a moment, his lips curling into a smile at the memory. "It was like nothing else."

Derek was filled with nostalgia as he spoke of his pack life, and he saw the way Iris’s eyes twinkled as she listened intently. She watched with rapt attention as he described the warmth of the big kitchen fireplace that kept them all cozy during cold winter nights, the delicious aroma of baked potatoes and roasted venison filling the air.

His fingers drummed lightly on the table as he spoke of hunting trips into the forest, his voice dropping to a hushed tone. His inner wolf could practically smell the fresh air and earth, panting at the thought.

As he spoke of his young hunting trips, he noticed how Iris began leaning in closer. He continued talking, ramping up the tension of each story just to make her draw a little nearer.

He stopped suddenly, putting a hand on her cheek. He trailed his fingers down to cup her jawline before pulling back slowly, their breaths mingling as if they were two wolves sizing each other up in the wild.

As Derek's fingertips brushed against her cheek, he felt a warmth spread through his entire being. He held his breath for a moment, simply enjoying the sensation as their eyes locked in an intense gaze.

The scent of his skin mixed with hers, creating a unique essence that only they shared now. Her eyes sparkled as he leaned closer, parting his lips slightly to whisper softly into her ear.

"You know," he murmured huskily. "We could go upstairs."

He watched while her body trembled with anticipation. He felt the heat emanating from her body, and he wanted more.

The air around them felt electric with possibility as they rose slowly from their chairs and went up the stairs to their rooms. His strong arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her close. He felt every curve of her form as he pressed himself against her.

He leaned down and pressed his lips against hers, his mouth hot and demanding but also tender. His hands roamed over her body with ease, tracing patterns on her lower back before sliding lower to cup her ass possessively.
