14k | M | Derek Hale, Dog Whisperer Meet Cute
Author Summary: “You,” Derek says, slowly and deliberately, “are beautiful and frustrating, and this isn’t a private enough place for me to tell you all things I’d like to do with your mouth, but I’d really like to show you some time.” Stiles swallows, and Derek’s eyes flicker down to watch the movement of his throat.
“That was pretty convincing,” Stiles manages to say after a moment, though it comes out a little more breathless than he’d intended. A small, slightly predatory smile starts to spread across Derek’s face and Stiles is definitely getting a hard-on in a parking lot, oh god. “How soon can we do that dinner exactly?”
“I can do tonight?”
“Any sooner than that?” Derek huffs out a laugh.
“I’ll pick you up at 7.”
Derek is the dog-trainer that Stiles desperately needs. It turns out he might be something else Stiles desperately needs as well.
My Notes: Super fluffy and fun steamy meet cute. Stiles is getting his masters (his thesis sounds fascinating) and is the accidental owner of a misbehaving basset hound. Enter Derek Hale, canine behavioral specialist, who brings the dog back after she runs away, and offers Stiles a free training session with ulterior motives. (Hint: it's because Stiles is hot and probably his mate.) Predictably, things escalate from there.
There were a few more Britishisms than I prefer, but overall well-written, well-characterized, hot, and funny. Bonus points for an amusing title.
