Depend On Me [18+]

Who am I? (NSFW)

Chapter 40

***Kaiden***

Taking a deep breath, I knock on Mora's door. After she kicked me out yesterday night, I decided to give her the space that she deserved, but that was yesterday. Today is another story. 

"Mora? Everything okay?" I shout and felt my stomach drop. Maybe I was spoiled and wasn't used to being ignored by my mate.

"Mora, come on. At least tell me you're okay." I pound on the door until Mora's floormates glare at me in annoyance as they leave their dorm. But, I ignored it. What if Mora does something drastic? She wouldn't, but the thought still terrified me. I couldn't shrug off the unsettling feeling, or maybe, she was still asleep.

I take a few steps back and run my hands through my hair, scared and frustrated. I fumble with my phone unsure of who to call. 

The door opens slowly and my head snaps up. Mora leans against the door and squints at me. Her hair was loose and in complete disarray. Her eyes were red and her dark eyebags made her look exhausted.

"Oh, fuck. Why are you crying?" She grumbles hoarsely and pulls me inside. Closing the door behind me, I pull her face toward mine and search her gaze.

"I'm not crying." I sigh in relief when I didn't see any recent injuries.  She leans into my touch and her eyelashes flutter. 

"My bad. I forgot that salty waters naturally run down your face every day." Mora pulls away and stumbles back to her bed.

I laugh and follow her. "Fine. You scared me. I thought something happened to you when you didn't answer." 

She closes her eyes and burrows herself deeper into the bed. "Don't worry. I'm not that fragile. I just missed my favorite pillow and couldn't sleep. You're lucky I didn't tear you apart when you started knocking." She gives me a tired grimace and opens her arms. "Come here."

I collapse next to her and she lays her head on my chest. "You think you'll be able to participate in today's activities?" I ask rubbing circles on her back.

"Yeah. Give me an hour." Mora mumbles as her breaths even out. My phone beeps and her brows furrows. 

I frown and put my phone on the 'Do not disturb' mode. I open the group chat and shake my head in amusement.

King Raol: Where are you, man?

Jaded: Do you wanna meet up or can we go without you?

Icarly: I say we leave him. He's clearly catching up with Mora.

Jaded: Kaiden? Mora? Answer, please.

King Raol: Don't make me call you!

Icarly: Are you guys still ... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)?

Cupid: Take your time. We'll grab your breakfasts.

Kaiden: Thanks. Mora's sick. We'll be there in a while. 

I put the phone back on the counter and set up a 2 hours timer. I finally allow the tiny smile on my face to widen. I stroke the side of Mora's face as my mood brightens. Maybe, seducing is not as impossible as I thought. 

*beep beep beep* 

I stare at the ceiling in confusion before I regain my senses. I didn't know when I fell asleep. 

I fight the urge to shatter my phone; meanwhile, Mora was dead to the world.  I groan and sit up slowly. One of us had to take the lead. 

"Mora? Hey, wake up." I gently shake her awake. "Come on, baby girl."
