Summary:
Stiles and Derek shower together, enjoying the connection of their mate bond.
The back of Stiles's neck prickled in awareness, and he smiled when Derek stepped into the shower behind him, plastering himself against Stiles's back. Stiles made a pleased sound when Derek wound his strong arms around him. Engulfing him in his warmth. And when Derek kissed the mating bite on his shoulder, Stiles couldn't stop the moan he let out at the intense, all-consuming rush of pure ecstasy and bliss that rushed over him again.
Derek had claimed him.
A sense of completion and rightness consumed Stiles as he leaned back against him.
"Is it always going to be this sensitive?" Stiles asked. It felt as if he were in a dream—blissfully floating in Derek's embrace. He could practically feel Derek's devotion and unconditional love through their bond. It was bright, warm, and utterly all-consuming.
"Not as extreme," Derek whispered, an awed expression on his face. "God, I can feel you."
Stiles turned in his arms, reaching up and scratching at the nape of Derek's neck. "I know. I feel you, too."
"I knew our bond would be strong, but I didn't realize it'd be like this," Derek breathed. "I love you so much."
"I love you too." Stiles sighed happily, flashing Derek a big, dopey grin before tugging him down and kissing him sweetly. He tasted like Stiles's spearmint toothpaste. "Now, c'mon. We need to clean up and get going."
They had a long day ahead of them between driving to campus and then unloading the moving truck.
Derek's face split in a wide grin at his words, so fucking happy that Stiles was moving in with him.
It still felt kind of surreal to Stiles, though. That he was going to be living with Derek. Logically, he knew it shouldn't be—obviously—considering they were mated now. But everything this summer was kind of a whirlwind, happening so fast.
It was like a dream.
Derek grabbed the shampoo, squirting some in his palm before rubbing it into Stiles's hair, working it into a lather. Stiles's heart swelled, and he knew Derek could tell by the bright smile on his face. It was ridiculous how much Derek loved taking care of him.
"It sucks that your dad has to work," Derek said, directing Stiles under the water. "I know he wanted to see the place."
Stiles tipped his head back for Derek to rinse the shampoo from his hair. "Yeah. But I can video call him or something. Or maybe he can come down next weekend."
Derek nodded. "That sounds good. We can take him out to dinner."
"I'll ask him later," Stiles said as Derek continued to clean him. It was such a simple thing, but fuck! It made his knees buckle and his cock grow hard. Which was just ridiculous because they just had sex. He still ached in the best way from Derek's knot.
His cheeks heated, and Stiles tried to focus on something else. As much as he'd love to lean against the wall and offer his ass to Derek again, they couldn't be late since they had to return the truck by four. Plus, they didn't want to keep Isaac, Erica, or Boyd waiting since they were meeting them at the apartment.
Stiles could tell Derek was torn, though. Definitely tempted. His eyes were crimson, and Stiles felt the pinpricks of Derek's claws against his hips. A thrill shot through him—always such a heady feeling knowing that he could make Derek (who always had impeccable control) lose it.
But then Derek chuckled and shook his head. "Christ. You're insatiable."
Stiles shrugged because Derek wasn't wrong. Not when it came to him. "I know we can't."
"Tonight," Derek said. More of a promise, really.
It was an incentive to Stiles—and apparently Derek—and they quickly finished showering and got dressed. After ensuring they had everything, they made their way down to the moving truck they'd loaded last night.
Once they settled in and buckled up, they set off on the four-hour journey back to campus. Stiles was filled with a strange mix of trepidation and excitement for what was to come. This was going to be a new chapter in their lives, and Stiles could hardly wait.
