Orion

Thirty-Six. Questioning

It took them almost three hours to unpack everything in the room, but it was worth it. The four would have made more progress had it not been for Mo taking over the job of managing all three boys. She knew that at some points she got on their nerves- especially her mate's- but Mo paid them no mind, after a while they'd get used to the bossy tendencies that she had.

Being both the youngest and only girl of her family back home, Mo was used to just telling people what to do; especially if that someone was her brother Uly. He still got annoyed with it too, but for the most part, he'd gotten used to the bossy and sometimes spoiled attitude Mo easily fell into at times. Her mother figure hardly paid it any mind any more.

Gianni and Adriel filed out of the now completely unpacked spell room and herded themselves by the front door.

Mahogany trailed after them with her mate only a few steps behind her.

"Thank you guys so much!" She sighed with a smile, "That was so much easier than doing it all myself."

"No problem, Luna," Gianni chirped, "Just let us know when you want us to start working on the floating tables."

After Mo made promise that she would do exactly that, she watched as the beta and gamma climbed into their respective car and truck, headed for the pack house.

Orion stood quietly behind her as she waved their friends off. By the time she closed and locked the front door, he was encroaching- she could feel his body heat seeping into her back. In response, she had to calm those damned urges she got every time he was close enough to just offer herself up to him on a silver platter, especially now, knowing that he'd eat her up. When his large hand enveloped hers, then tugged lightly, Mo let him pull her into turning around. When she did, Orion dipped his head, eyes focused on her, searching her face.

"I'll be back around six or seven."

Even though Mo didn't want him to go at all, she nodded, pressing her hands to his chest as she took in his heavenly scent. It still surprised her how much she wanted him to stay with her now.

Mo was starting to think she wouldn't be able to be a good luna because she didn't want to share her mate with the rest of his pack.

"Will the whole pack be there?"

"If not, the majority of them will be."

Nodding, she bit at her lip, "I might slip over to Gianni's in a bout an hour or so to check on the bowl."

"Okay. I'll text you and let you know when they're all there, okay?"

Once his luna nodded in agreement, she watched those blue eyes flit down to her lips for a moment. Before she could even make fun of him for his hesitation, his lips were on hers.

A surprised grunt fell from her lips, but she kissed him back nonetheless. The pair got carried away quickly. Orion's tongue probed the seam of Mo's lips. She gave him what he wanted quickly and with zero fuss.

Her hands came up, cupping his face in a tight grip as her tongue tangled with his the pair groaned as one, and just as she felt her own pulse speed up, she heard Orion's do the same.

His hands slid up and down her back in a slow, soothing circuit until finally, Mo pulled away.

"Text me if you need anything."

"I will. When are you gonna mark me so we don't have to only use phones?"

Watching him get flustered from such a simple question was way more entertaining than Mo thought it would be. A smile was threatening to split her lips as she watched her mate flounder.
