His fingertips were grazing her elbow without his even realizing it at first. His arm was draped over the back of the bench, her elbow was suddenly right there within reach where he just had to stretch his fingers the tiniest bit, and it was happening. "We're all freaks, gorgeous. Anyone who says they don't get freaky now and then are lying to themselves."

Then he realized his fingers were drawing circles on her elbow and he curled his hand into a fist, bending his elbow to bring his hand away. "The Biblical sense was... I've never been with..." He grins finally, a low rumbling chuckle escaping him. His skin felt flushed with heat. "It felt good. Really good."

He swallows hard. "There's more than that though. Don't you wanna know me?" It was suddenly occurring to him that maybe she didn't, maybe he had really felt all these things and was so damn confused on his own. Derek did not like being out on a limb on his own. He didn't like the feeling of it. And the hilarious thing was, he had never let himself get close enough to someone to love them. He had never let anyone really know him. But with the lingering emotions of the last few weeks, here he was worried that someone didnn't want to really know him.
