Someone to love with my life in their hands (For Derek)

[littlewolf_girl]

Derek had told her they were going after Deucalion. He was taking his pack, but the Alpha would have his, too, Hayley was certain. No one got to that position by going solo, no matter what he'd promised Scott. Her hand itched, going to her cell phone more than a few times, ready to call Elijah, but...what the hell could he do from Louisiana fast enough? By the time he got here, it would be over.  Besides, she'd promised Derek she'd let him handle it himself first before calling in her backup.

That didn't mean she had to like it.

She didn't much like not being there, either, for all that she was useless in a fight right now. Even without the baby, she couldn't shift at will like they could. She was fast and she was strong, but if she couldn't bring her claws out what good would that be? 

So, she...paced. And felt useless. And paced. The moon rose and set. The sun came up. Derek's cell phone rang, but he didn't answer it. No one called her...she guessed no one knew to except maybe Cora, and she didn't know the girl's number to get in touch with her, either, when the teenager didn't call her. Maybe she didn't know how to find her. Maybe she didn't figure Hayley rated knowing anything. Maybe she was dead.

Fuck, but she hated being let sitting at home like some princess in a tower. She wasn't a princess. She wasn't used to being protected. It was a sweet feeling on one level, but she was so not made for waiting.

It was all she was able to do, though, and by the time the sun was high in the sky again, she had given up any pretense of being okay with it. Grabbing her purse, she fished out her keys. She was going to the loft. If no one was there, she was going to the hospital. If there was one thing she was good at, it was getting information out of people.

Cursing fluidly to herself, she moved to the door, yanking it open.

Derek watched her with a wry smile as she moved back to him to start undoing his pants so she could get them off. Which just seemed wrong somehow.

Watching her a moment longer, he admired once more just how beautiful she was before leaning down to kiss her softly.

[littlewolf_girl]

She didn't think it was wrong, at all. If anything, it felt really, really right. She blushed a little at how he was looking at her, but Hayley lifted her head to meet his kiss, sliding one hand to cradle his jaw.

"Let's get you in the water..." She didn't like him being on his feet after everything.

[iamthe_alpha]

Derek enjoyed the little flush of color as he leaned to kiss her, his eyes drifting closed briefly as he did. Now it felt a bit better.

"Okay." He nodded, stepping back just a bit. Once he was naked, showing more scrapes and bruises, he waited for the tub to be filled before he stepped in and sat down. A shower probably would have been better but he wasn't sure he could have stood for long yet.

[littlewolf_girl]

She winced at yet more proof of his injuries, but didn't say anything. After he was settled, she stripped out of her clothes, then moved to perch on the side of the tub first, to see where she'd best fit without hurting him.

[iamthe_alpha]

"Come here." He reached out, snaking an arm around her waist to pull her down to settle on top of him though he left it up to her which way she wanted to face.

[littlewolf_girl]

Hayley smiled and slipped into the tub, careful of the wounds on his chest, shifting enough to lean against the other side with her back to his chest. The strength of his heartbeat was relieving and she sighed as she let the water wash up over them.

"This okay?" Not hurting him more, she meant.

[iamthe_alpha]

"It's more than okay." He reassured her, turning his head to nuzzle softly against the spot behind her ear after brushing her hair aside, drawing in her scent as he did. It was strange how comforting that scent had become in just a short amount of time but it was true.

Drawn in a little more, he slid his hand over her belly.

[littlewolf_girl]

The soft nuzzling and the feel of his hands sliding over her had her starting to relax, finally. She closed her eyes and sighed, slipping her hand down to cover his. The gesture was familiar to her now, but she was more grateful and pleased by it than she'd been before--double the gratitude, she supposed.

"Good. Because I'm not sure I'm going to be inclined to move any time soon..."

[iamthe_alpha]

"Neither am I." He reassured her, his lips still teasing along her jawline now as he kept his voice soft. Brushing his thumb just above her belly button, he wondered briefly about the life resting inside of her but then he let it go as he pressed a kiss to the side of her neck.

[littlewolf_girl]

The baby was on her mind a little bit, mainly because she still couldn't believe he was okay with it. Part of her would probably be tense about it for a while, especially when she started to show, when she did more than hear it, but could feel it, too.

But that was for another day. Today, she tilted her head a bit more for his lips, reaching up with her hand to lightly thread fingers through his hair.

"If you want the jets on, just let me know..." She didn't want to aggravate the wounds, but they were heaven for sore muscles which she was sure he had.

[iamthe_alpha]

Maybe right now it was easier to deal with because she wasn't showing, so it was a sort of 'out of sight, out of mind' sort of thing. Hopefully by the time she was showing, he would have it completely settled in his head but that was for later.

"Is there a weak setting?" He asked, pressing another kiss to the side of her neck.

[littlewolf_girl]

"Mmm...I think so, yeah..." She was reluctant to move away from him, but she leaned forward to fiddle with the knob, turning the jets on to a gentle sort of pulse before leaning back into him again. "That good?"

The question came with a little wriggle which layered the question with a few things, as did the smirk over her shoulder.

She was okay with him not dwelling on the baby. What would be would be. She'd hope that he'd accept it if they got that far, but...she'd never gotten that far, so she wasn't counting on it.

[iamthe_alpha]

He was reluctant to let her go as well and it was evident in the way his hands lingered on her hips, his thumbs brushing over the small of her back till she moved back against him again. Then the little wriggle was interesting because it had an effect on him despite him being hurt and healing.

"Very good." He gave her a knowing look, smirking.

[littlewolf_girl]

The effect was noted and appreciated, as much for proof that he really was recovering as her mind seriously on sex. Not that she couldn't be persuaded, but she was thinking more of snuggling into his arms and holding on...which was an odd enough urge for her to be trying to process.

But his body's rousing had an answering tingle running through hers. "Anything I can do to make it even better?"

[iamthe_alpha]

He hadn't been thinking about sex either but the feel of her brushing against him was hard to deny. He was sure anyone could be half dead and still be affected by her. Not that he wanted to think about her rubbing up against anyone but him though.

"What do you think will help?" He asked with a little smirk as he pressed a kiss against her shoulder.

[littlewolf_girl]

She gave him an amused little look. "I don't know? Chicken soup and a soft bed," she said ruefully. "Though I can see how getting to sleep might be difficult. You might need some help with that--I know I'm usually all keyed up after a fight. Have to work off some energy..."

[iamthe_alpha]

She was right for the most part. Normally he would be very keyed up after a fight and, despite the pain, he could feel the energy rolling under the surface as he continued to watch her. "How should we work it off?" He smirked.

[littlewolf_girl]

"Hmmm..." Hayley shifted a little bit so she could look at him more directly. "You're the injured one. What do you think you're up for?"

[iamthe_alpha]

"With you, I'm just about up for anything." He told her before leaning in to kiss her softly, his hands sliding up to cup her breasts, letting warm water fall over them as he brushed his thumbs lightly over her nipples.

[littlewolf_girl]

Hayley shivered at the light touch, arching a little bit into his hands. The gentleness and the water were perfect as tender and tight as they felt lately. She kissed him back, bringing a hand up to trace gently through his hair.

[iamthe_alpha]

Turning his head, he let his facial hair scrape against her neck and along her jawline as he continued to nibble and nip over the tender skin while his thumbs swirled around and over her nipples. He was enjoying the way she squirmed and arched into his hands as he continued but it wasn't still enough.

Sliding one hand down, he curled his fingers over her mouth, his fingers parting the folds so he could stroke a fingertip over her clit.

[littlewolf_girl]

Hayley cried out when his lips slid over her skin, and arched up like she'd been hit with an electric charge when his fingers found her clit. The rub against his hand was instinct as she searched for more friction, already feeling that lovely ache.

Her squirming became more deliberate, too, shifting as she rocked her hips against him, feeling the press of his body, his cock, behind her and finding more than a little bit of a thrill in that.

[iamthe_alpha]

The deliberate movements definitely got a reaction out of him, his cock twitching and hardening further as he flicked his finger over her clit a little more firmly.

Wetting his lips, he lifted his head as he moved his hands to her hips. "Lift up and take me in."

[littlewolf_girl]

He didn't have to tell Hayley twice. She lifted up. Reaching back between them, she stroked her fingers over him, bringing him into position before she sank back down on him, taking him in slowly but thoroughly.

He stretched her and filled her and she whimpered as she settled back on his lap, with that one, delightful difference.

[iamthe_alpha]

Derek's eyes fluttered closed as she sank down onto him, taking him deep inside where he filled her completely. Groaning gently at the feel of her fluttering around him, his fingers dug into her hips gently, holding on as he pressed his forehead against the back of her shoulder.

"Move." He rasped out.
