Chapter Three

With his head throbbing and his body aching everywhere, Derrick wasn’t really surprised to wake up in a cranky mood. The bedsprings creaked under him, and he turned on his good side. The sound of the springs grated on his ears. For some reason, they were abhorrently loud. Derrick didn’t remember why there was a blanket over him, too. Annoyed and hot, he attempted to toss it aside.

When had he found the time to get himself a blanket last night? In fact, the more he thought about last night, the more he drew into a confused mess of images. The springs creaked again, but Derrick didn’t dare move. He froze.

His ears caught the sound of a faint buzzing. The sound reminded him of someone snoozing lightly. Someone is in bed with me. Derrick nearly bolted out of the bed in panic, but his wolf didn’t sense any threat. Something soft brushed against his exposed side. An arm. That arm slid across his side and rested on his hairy belly in a rather alarmingly possessive matter. This is nice. Jared never held me like this.

Derrick shook himself away from such thoughts, gingerly lifting the hand away from him. He turned to face the other occupant in bed.

“Hi. Good morning again.” A handsome face framed by dark brown shaggy hair leaned forward towards him. Before Derrick could back, the other man kissed him. The moment his lips touched his, all thoughts of pulling away fled from the Beta’s mind.

The tingle he that jumped up his arm yesterday had felt a little like this, only this was something else. Something that was more wild and demanding. Derrick found his large and clumsy hands pulling the other man towards him. With his astounding string of failed relationships, the Beta almost expected the other man to pull away in disgust, but he only leaned forward into Derrick’s embrace.

Kisses with Jared were never like this. None of the kisses I had with other men were like this.

“I don’t even know your name,” Derrick said, breathless when he pulled back. It seemed important he should know something simple as the other man’s name. Reluctantly, he let the other man go even though the wolf inside him impatiently glared at him.

“It’s Jack,” the Gamma answered. His bright blue eyes were trained on Derrick. “Jack Lee.”

The intensity of his gaze unsettled Derrick. It felt like the Gamma was capable of seeing past what his other lovers could not, and the feeling of being this exposed to another wolf both terrified and unsettled Derrick. Was this what it was truly like, when a wolf finally found its true mate? His connection to Jared felt flimsy and artificial compared to this. How had he managed to live this long without having Jack by his side?

“Jack, nice to meet you. I’m Derrick Starr,” Derrick said lamely. Now that the passion of the kiss was fading, he felt awkward and uncertain again. Was this like the cupcake incident yesterday morning? Was this
