Angel POV

I walked down the hallway next to Honey and Mori. Honey stood a few inches taller than me with Mori towering above the two of us. There was something comforting in Mori's height and the way he carried himself. He walked with an air of determination and importance, as if every step he took was carefully calculated.

Honey, on the other hand, bounded down the halls in short strides. His blonde hair bounced and shook as he paraded around and made me laugh. While his demeanor was that of a person my age, I knew his mind and abilities were far superior to what he showed them to be. He didn't like being firm, I could tell from the thoughts in his head. Oddly enough, his head was filled with strategies and maneuvers learned from years of martial arts training.

Years of fighting for my life taught me everything I knew about fighting. That coupled with, in essence, three older brothers and I learned fairly quickly how to defend myself. My ability to control minds helped as well, but I knew I could not rely solely on that ability.

Soon, Mori, Honey and I reached a part of Kyouya's mansion that housed a training area, complete with padded floor and some rubber dummies. Honey ran to the center of the floor and stood, grounding himself and finding his center. Mori stood with me on the edge of the room and we watched Honey start to warm up.

"Come on, guys, you should really warm-up if you don't want to hurt yourselves," Honey said from his position on the floor where he was in a full split. I nodded my head and extended my wings, shooting up into the air. The ceiling was raised in this part of the house and I had extra room to fly around. I flew in spirals and loops, stopped and started. When I touched down again I felt all the muscles in my wings, a sure sign that they were totally ready for battle.

I stood and stretched my arms, wrists, hips and knees out, then sat down and stretched out my legs. When I was warmed up I flew into the air again, loving the feeling of the wind in my hair, waiting for the boys to finish stretching. I subconsciously listened in to the boys' minds and heard something in Mori's mind that surprised me.

He was thinking about how graceful I looked. He thought my wings were elegant and loved how they were snow white. According to him, I was beautiful. I looked down and saw that he was looking up at me. When I caught him looking he looked down and I saw a faint pink color his cheeks.

I laughed and touched down on the ground right by where he was sitting. I sat down next to him and threw my legs out into the splits. I could stretch my legs out pretty far, but could not make them stretch out to a straight line. "Mori-sempai, could you help me with my splits?" I asked him.

He nodded his head and positioned himself in front of me, his heels pushing my legs out wider. I grasped his outstretched forearms and he leaned back, pulling my upper torso towards him. I felt my muscles tighten in protest and gritted my teeth against a gasp of pain. Mori must have seen the look of tension on my face because he let up on my arms, allowing me to pull back into a sitting position.

"Are you ready, An-chan?" Honey asked. He stood above us with a knowing smile so uncharacteristically placed on his face.

"About ready as I'll ever be," I said, standing up after Mori let my legs go.

"What martial arts training have you had?" Honey asked.

"It's not formal training, but ever since we escaped from the School that engineered us I've been fighting off things that came after us. I guess you could say I've learned from doing. Max has helped me, and the boys make great sparring partners, but there's nothing like learning by destroying some robots that fly after us."

"Interesting. How big are the creatures you fight?"

"Um," I looked around. "About as big as Mori-Sempai over here," I said with a smile.

"Takashi, why don't you square-off with An-chan?" Honey stepped to the outskirts of the room as Mori loomed over me. "Don't break her, Takashi."

I had no time to process what he said as Mori struck out at me. I parried his arm, but was hit from the side by his leg. We fought hard and I would land the occasional blow, but no matter how hard I fought he was better. I knew deep down he wasn't even going hard on me, which told me that I needed more training.

I threw out my leg in a roundhouse kick and thought for sure I was going to land it. But right at the last moment, Mori caught the kick and threw his weight into the direction my momentum was going. The result: I went flying into the floor. Mori quickly pinned me down so that I could not move my arms or legs. His hand pressed onto my throat.

Mori looked deep into my eyes, both of us breathing hard. My arms were pinned in one of his hands above my head. I was suddenly very aware of his body pressed against mine and our close faces. I opened my mind to his and saw the desire to kiss me. My eyes opened slightly wider than they had been.

I had seen Fang fantasizing about kissing Max so many times in his mind. Likewise, Max's fantasies hadn't been exactly PG. But even still, I had never read a boy's mind and seen the desire to kiss me (ME!) written everywhere.

"Good job, Takashi. An-chan, you did fairly well. Better than I expected, actually," Honey said. His voice was closer than I'd originally thought and I realized he was standing right next to us. Mori pulled back and stood up, helping me up after he was on his feet.

"Thank you," I said to Honey. "I guess I'm not as good as I thought I was."

"Do not doubt your abilities, Angel," Mori said to me. I found myself enjoying the deep tone of his voice.

"Yeah, Takashi is a great fighter. You are also still young, are you not?" Honey asked me.

"I am. I turn eleven next month," I said.

"You are a rather great fighter for one of ten years," Mori said.

"Thank you, Mori-Sempai." I smiled up as Mori. He nodded his head.

"Well I'm hungry. Who wants to go see if we can scrounge up something for dinner?" Honey asked.

"Sounds good," I replied. When we got to the kitchen we were greeted with the sweet smell of ham. I also could smell potatoes and green beans. "Smells like someone's been busy."

We walked into the kitchen to see Kyouya placing a plate piled high with freshly cut ham on the island in the center of the room. There were already a number of steaming bowls and plates on it. Kyouya looked up and smiled. "Did you cook all of this, Onii?" I asked.

"Why, yes, I did. I've always enjoyed cooking. It relaxes me, I find," Kyouya replied.

"Smells great." I smiled back.

"The others are sitting in the next room at the dining table. Feel free to go and sit down, you three," Kyouya said.

Honey nodded and walked out of the room with Mori on his heels. I walked over to Kyouya and smiled up at where he stood next to the island. "How was your training session?" he asked me.

"Fine. Mori totally pinned me down on the ground. I need more practice. But, I also saw something in his mind that shocked me," I said. I knew I wanted to tell someone about what I saw in Mori's mind and who better to tell than my big brother?"

"Do you want to talk about what you saw, Chiisana Tori?"

"He was contemplating what it would be like to kiss me. He was about to do it, but Honey spoke up. I think I might like him back, but I wouldn't want to create any drama here and amongst the Flock. Max would flip like a coin if she knew an 18 year old boy wanted to kiss me."

"Well you are remarkably mature. I'm sure she would get over it. As for what to do about Mori, if you think you might like him, why don't you spend some more time with him?"

"I'll make you a deal."

"Uh, oh."

I chuckled at Kyouya and hit his arm lightly. "I'll spend more time with Mori if you make an effort to act on your feelings for Haruhi."

Kyouya started. "I do not—"

I held up a hand and cut him off. "Save it for someone who can't read your mind. I see the fantasies you embody, some of them not so PG-13. Are you going to tell me what happened at the beach before the thunderstorm? Something about you pinning Haruhi onto the bed to prove a point?"

Kyouya blushed. "That's irrelevant."

"Like hell it is. Kyouya, you need to act on these feelings! If you are worried Tamaki might object, he's not going to. He can see it. Mori and Honey know also. It's not a huge secret!"

"You are far too smart for your age, little one."

"You flatter me," I said dramatically. "Look, I'll make an effort if you do."

"Ok, you have yourself a deal."

"One more thing, Onii-sama."

"Yes?"

"Have you ever kissed a girl?"

"No, I haven't."

"Are you scared?"

"Somewhat, but I'm also excited. Angel, as long as you're giving your first kiss to someone you truly like, you will never regret it."

"I love you, Kyouya Onii-sama."

Kyouya pulled me into a hug and kissed the top of my head. "I love you too, my Chiisana Tori."

I helped him carry the bowls and plates of food out the door into the dining room. When we were finally seated I was between Kyouya at the head of the table and Mori. The room was filled with the sound of silverware clicking on china plates and voices asking about Max. The girl was better, but still asleep. Her body needed time to heel.

"What time is it?" Haruhi asked suddenly.

"Seven thirty," Kyouya replied. "And do not freak out. I called your father and told him you were staying over here for the night. He was concerned at first, but I told him there were going to be other girls here. Everyone may stay over tonight if they wish. We can have a sleepover, of sorts."

Nudge's eyes lit up. "I love sleepovers! Haruhi, this is going to be so much fun! Do you all want to play sleepover games? We can play truth or dare, spin the bottle, even seven minutes in heaven!"

From the looks on the Host's faces and the thoughts running through their heads, they had no idea what Nudge was talking about. "Nudge, explain," I said shortly.

The remainder of dinner was filled with Nudge explaining the rules of the games. The boys agreed to spin the bottle as long as they didn't have to kiss each other. I giggled slightly but covered it expertly with a fake cough. I stood up to clear off the table.

"Would you like some help?" Mori asked me. I smiled and nodded and he gathered plates and bowls himself. We carried everything into the kitchen and over to the counter. I covered leftovers and stuck them in the fridge. After the food was preserved I walked over to where Mori was scrubbing the dishes in the massive sink.

"Can I help, Mori-Sempai?" I asked.

He turned his head to look at me and smiled. "Thank you, but I think I've got it. Why don't you sit down?" I hopped up onto the counter and faced him. "That's not exactly what I meant."

I laughed and stuck my hand in the water, bringing it out and splashing him a little with soapy water. Mori looked shocked at first, but soon smiled and splashed me back, spilling a bunch of water on the ground. I hopped off the counter and wiped up the mess. Then I sat on the counter and watched Mori.

In his movements I saw all of the strength he tried his best to conceal. His shirt pulled taunt across his chest and accented his muscles. I looked up to his face and saw his eyes on mine. Surprised and a bit embarrassed at being caught staring, I hopped off the counter and walked over to the stove, busying myself scrubbing some nonexistent stain.

I heard Mori unplug the sink and walk over to me; saw him stand with his back to the counter next to the stove. "Do you want to learn self-defense? Against an opponent as large as me, I mean," he said.

I looked up at him and nodded. "It would help. Max got attacked last year and the man almost raped her. She's the strongest of us all, and if that can happen to her, I don't stand a chance."

"I can teach you how to defend yourself."

"When?"

"How about now?"

"I'm guessing you do not wish to go to the sleepover?"

"I'm not a big fan of sleepovers, no."

I laughed. "Well then, let's go."

We headed off down the hall. "I know you don't normally talk much, Mori-Sempai."

"It isn't necessary, usually. I'm mostly with Honey, and he speaks the majority of the time. And when I'm at the Host Club, the girls seem keen on just sitting with me and my silence."

"I enjoy your silence, but I much rather hear your voice. It's very soothing to me." I blushed after speaking my mind.

Mori laughed lightly and I looked up to see him looking down at me with a look of adoration. Suddenly, out of nowhere, he grabbed my arm and pinned me to the wall. His hands locked mine in place, and his body pressed up against mine, making escaping impossible. "First lesson: always be prepared. Even your best friend can turn on you in a moment. You need to be ready for anything." Mori's breath fanned out across my face.

"I should know that," I said, closing my eyes.

"Try to get away." His voice came from right in front of me, and I opened my eyes to see his a few inches from mine.

"What if I don't want to?" I asked. What made me say those words, I did not know. What I did know what that Mori wanted to kiss me just about as bad as I wanted to kiss him.

I could tell my words shocked him, and he pulled back slightly. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that," I said.

Mori shook his head. "Can you read my mind?" he asked. I nodded. "Then you know of my attraction to you." Again I nodded my head yes.

"I am attracted to you as well, I want you to know."

"You are not repulsed by my affection for you, even though you are eight years younger than me?"

"Stranger things have happened. And I'll be eleven soon. I still like you, I've realized, even though it scares me," I admitted.

"Tell me, Angel, have you ever kissed a boy?" Mori hadn't pulled back more than a few inches, so that our breath mingled as we spoke. The hand that had held my left wrist let go and caressed my quivering bottom lip lightly.

Afraid my voice would fail me I shook my head no. I looked down at his lips and wondered if he was going to kiss me. My question was answered when he placed his hand on the side of my face and pressed his lips to mine softly. My eyes closed and I froze, not truly sure what I was supposed to do.

I took a shaky breath in through my nose and kind of pressed my lips against Mori's. He pulled back and looked into my eyes, his hand pushing back a strand of hair that had fallen into my eyes. I looked down, my cheeks pinking, and saw with a start that my freed hand had pressed itself against his chest. I watched it rise and fall under my fingers, then looked up at Mori.

His eyes were glistening and I saw in his mind the desire to do more with me, but the self control and need to please me holding him back. I leaned back in and pressed my lips to his again, committing the feel of his against mine to memory.

I pulled back first that time. "How was it?" Mori asked me quietly.

"Everything I had hoped it would be." What do you say to a person that kisses you? Thank you? I decided to just kiss him again.

We walked back to Kyouya's room where the others were hand-in-hand. Our fingers laced together and the heat from his palm warmed me to my core. I was so short that it almost looked like he was holding my hand as one would hold a small child's hand to walk across a busy street. I let my wings carry me into the air so that I was closer to Mori's height and, literally, flew down the hallway.

Mori chuckled from beside me and I looked at him. "What?" I asked.

"You're so funny," he said. I assumed he was referring to me flying beside him.

"Why? It looks funny when I'm walking next to you and holding your hand. I feel like a small child who is being walked across a busy intersection," I said.

Mori turned to stand in front of me and stopped, causing me to bump into him. His arms immediately wrapped around me and held my waist because my wings were still extended out. My hands rested on his chest as I looked up into his eyes. He leaned down and kissed me, his hands pressing me closer into his body.

Slowly, I felt Mori open his mouth and trace his tongue along my bottom lip. The movement was seductive and exhilarating. So much so, in fact, that I felt my head swim and had to pull away to be able to breathe again. Mori looked confused. "I'm sorry, was that not enjoyable?"

His words made me blush. "Oh, it was, trust me. But I forgot how to breathe for a second there." I looked up into his sorry eyes and smiled. I reached up and kissed each of his eyelids before kissing his lips again. "This is still new to me."

"I know," Mori said, pulling away from me and gathering my hand in his before we started walking, well, him walking and me flying, down the hallway once again. "I'm sorry. I let my desires come before thinking of you."

I rested my head on his shoulder. "You don't have to be sorry. It just shocked me." I lifted my head up and looked into his eyes. "You're really seductive, you know that?"

He stopped and turned to me again. "I'll take that as a no," I said. I flew up until we were face to face and he didn't have to lean down. "I'm excited to be with you; I want you to know that. But I am inexperienced, and I don't want you to be disappointed."

"Angel," Mori said sweetly, a warm smile touching his lips. He ran one of his hands across my cheek and into my hair and I closed my eyes. "I want you to be happy. I do not care if you are inexperienced, I will never be disappointed. And if you are not ready for something, tell me, else I won't know when to stop."

I opened my eyes and looked into his sincere ones. I raised my hands and ran them through his hair, gripping small clumps. I took a deep breath and pressed my lips to his in what I hoped was a heated kiss. His tongue darted out again and licked my bottom lip. I pressed my lips to his tighter and parted my lips slightly. His lips wrapped around my bottom lip and sucked on it softly. I gasped quietly at the wonderful feeling and pressed myself to him tighter. Mori pulled back from the kiss and moved his lips to my ear.

"Pull your wings in," he whispered. I complied when I felt his hands on my waist. His teeth bit my ear as my back hit the wall. Mori pressed his body up against mine even closer and sucked on my earlobe. I moaned loud enough for him to hear and he pulled back to my face. A blush crept up my neck and to my cheeks, but Mori only smiled and kissed me again. Our lips battled for control and we only parted to breathe.

Mmmh, I thought. The content sigh must have carried into Mori's ears because he chuckled and pulled back. We were both breathing heavy and my legs had wrapped around his waist. I detangled my hands from his hair. "Wow," I whispered. In his mind I whispered, damn.

Mori smiled and kissed my neck softly, trailing butterfly kisses up my neck to my lips. I was sure they were pink and a little bit swollen and knew I'd have to explain to the others later. Just as I thought that I looked to my left and screamed slightly. "What is it?" Mori asked.

I couldn't say anything; I just looked at him with wide eyes and tilted my head to my left. He turned his head at the same time I did. Standing with her hands on her hips was Max. Her eyes were disbelieving. "Angel you had best get off of that boy and come with me before I make you take an oath of celibacy like the Nuns back in Vatican City," she said.

Mori stepped back and helped me off his hips. I walked over to Max slowly. She grabbed my upper arm and swung me around, marching me off down the hall. I felt Mori walking behind us. Max forced me into Kyouya's room where everyone else sat on the floor and I fell onto the bed.

"Max!" Nudge exclaimed happily.

"Not now. Angel's done something wrong. Max is about to blow up," I heard Gazzy mumble to the giddy girl.

"What did you think you were doing?" Max yelled at me.

"Max, I—"I started to say, but she cut me off.

"I wake up in a strange home and start walking around because I can't fly because my wing's still not fully healed looking for the flock and what do I find? My baby pressed up against a wall, lip-locking with a boy I've never met. What are worse are the noises you were making! You are ten years old! You are too young to even think of doing things like that with a boy!"

"I am not your baby anymore and I know what I'm doing!" I yelled, exasperated.

"Oh, you do, do you?"

"I do! I wanted Mori to kiss me. I like him! Is it so much different from you and Fang?" I asked.

"It is. Fang and I are the same age, we've known each other for a while, and we're older than you!"

"I practically told Mori I wanted him to kiss me like he was!" I screamed.

"He should not have kissed you, period." Max whirled on the boy. "How old are you, anyways?"

"He's eighteen, Max. And how do you know I didn't make him kiss me? How do you know I didn't control him and make him want to kiss me and hold me and be with me, huh?" I asked.

"You wouldn't." Max's eyes narrowed.

"Wouldn't I?" I asked with a bored expression on my face. I was bluffing, and I knew she knew I was.

"Will someone please tell us what's going on?" Fang asked from on the floor.

"I walked in on my Angel and this boy kissing in the hallway. Her back was against the wall and her legs were wrapped around his waist! She was blushing and moaning and groaning like she was enjoying it! How could you do this, Angel?" Max asked.

"I like him. Just because it took you and Fang years to act on your mutual feelings does not mean I have to. I looked into Mori's mind. He likes me. I like him as well, so I don't see why we can't be together." Mori had walked over to where I sat on the edge of the bed and sat down next to me.

"Maybe Max is right," he said in his deep voice.

"What do you mean, 'Maybe Max is right'?!" I asked him.

"Maybe we should wait a few years, when you are older. We really don't know each other very well. We've just met each other, Angel."

I looked into his eyes, grabbed his face in between both of my hands, and kissed him full on the mouth in front of God and everyone. Pulling away, I told him, "Tell me you didn't feel anything and I'll forget all of my feelings for you and ever meeting you. Tell me, and you won't ever see me again. We'll all pack up and leave and never come back."

"I can't do that, but I also can't let us come between you and your family. I don't think I'd be able to forgive myself if I was the reason you and Max were in a fight."

"Look. How the hell am I supposed to be my own person if everyone's telling me what to do?! I need to make my own mistakes and live my own life. You know what, Max? Why don't you find me once you've figured out that I need to be my own person?" I looked at Mori. "Max and I are going to fight. She's just sore I didn't tell her about you and me earlier, even though she was unconscious." I shot her a dirty look. "I'll find you later," I whispered into his ear, kissed him passionately again for good measure, opened the window and was out into the night air, my wings spread open wide.

It was dark out, but the grounds were lit up in many lights, twinkling and accenting the lush grass and beautiful trees. I flew half-way across the grounds and alighted upon a sturdy branch of an oak tree. A cool breeze blew through my hair and lifted it up behind me as I shook it out. I closed my eyes and thought about Mori.

I couldn't believe Max caught us in the hallway. I wish she could've found out another way, but realized I was glad she didn't. It would have been much harder to tell her I was in a relationship with a boy who was eight years my senior. I knew she didn't like that I liked this boy, but she was going to have to deal with it. Mori's character more than spoke for itself, and if she would just give him time she'd see that he's a great guy and great for me.

"Angel!" I heard a male voice calling quite a long ways away. I tilted my head towards the sound, but it was drowned out by the wind.

"Angel my Chiisana Tori!" the same voice called out. So Kyouya had come after me. He kept calling as he got closer and I projected a groan into his head. I'm right here.

"Where are you, Chiisana Tori?" Kyouya called from directly under my tree.

"Right here," I said as I jumped and landed lithely by his side.

Kyouya jumped slightly then pulled me into a hug. "I was worried sick, Angel."

"Why, Onii-sama? I haven't been out here very long," I replied.

"But you have; you've been out here for two hours."

I looked up into his eyes, disbelieving. "No way."

Kyouya nodded his head yes. "They sent me out because Max knew you wouldn't talk to her. Mori was the first to head toward the door, but Max wasn't done, ahem, interrogating him."

I sighed. "She would. Please tell me the others are at least getting to know each other?"

Kyouya pushed his glasses up further on his nose. "Everyone is worried sick about you, but yes, they are bonding over their mutual wish to strangle you once we get back."

"Kyouya, do you think I'm being rash?"

He walked over to the tree stump and sat down, patting the ground beside him. I walked over and sat down, curling into his side. "I think if it is what your heart is telling you to do, then you are correct in what you are doing."

"That doesn't help me, brother. I want to know if I'm jumping into things I'm not ready for. I mean, if I start a relationship with Mori it would be like a fifth grader dating a high school senior, you just don't see it!"

"Angel, I think you are well advanced mentally. Because of that, I believe your situation is different than that of two normal people. If you wish to be with Mori and you can handle the emotions and responsibilities that come with a boyfriend, than I will stand by you. I want what's best for you, just like Max does; she just has a different way of showing it."

"Do you know where Mori is?"

"I believe he is still in my room. The others migrated to the dining hall after I left them, saying I was going out to find you. From what I hear, Max is done with Mori, but she left him incredibly tired. He is resting."

"I'm going to fly back. Do you think you could keep the others at bay until the morning?"

"Do I think I can? Angel, I am Kyouya Ootori. I can do anything."

I laughed at him. "Well good luck, Onii-sama, Max has quite the temper."

"I think I figured that out already, Chiisana Tori."

I hugged him tightly once again before standing. "I love you, Kyouya."

He stood and hugged me back, placing a kiss on my forehead. "I love you too, Angel." A crack of thunder was heard out in the distance. "Damn it," I heard him mumble under his breath.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Haruhi. She doesn't do well in thunderstorms. I need to get back and find her."

"Do you need help?"

"If you could give me the general whereabouts of her that would be spectacular. She tends to run into whatever dark place is nearest to her to wait out the storm."

I opened my mind and searched for her. "She's in the third floor west wing hall…she ran into the closet closest to the bathrooms."

"Thank you, Angel."

"As always, it is my pleasure to help you."

Kyouya kissed my head, then ran off into the darkness. I shot off into the air, beating my wings to stay aloft. I flew to Kyouya's room and through the open window, landing gracefully on the floor. The lights were off and there was a sleeping form in the middle of the bed. I walked lightly over to the bed and flew to the center where Mori's sleeping form lay.

I lay down next to him and touched his shoulder gently. Instantly, Mori's eyes opened and he'd grabbed my hand, pinning me to the bed. "We have to stop meeting like this," I said sarcastically.

Mori, realizing what he'd done and who I was, smiled, and leaned down until we were face to face. "I thought you liked this?" he asked.

I opened my eyes wide in shock. Mori grabbed both of my hands in one of his and used his free hand to push some hair back from my neck. "Lesson two: Don't put yourself in a position in which you have no means of escape."

"Well that would make sense, if you were trying to hurt me. Mori, if some guy on the street is going to try to rape me, I'll read his mind and fly away, simple as that," I said exasperatedly, knowing this was another one of his training techniques.

"First of all," he leaned down further and looked deep into my eyes, "when you are out on the streets you may not open your mind. You could be preoccupied and not think about what's going on around you.

"Secondly," Mori trailed his lips to my ear and pressed them to it, "the person attempting to rape you might be someone close to you. Even your own boyfriend could turn on you if you deny him something he wants."

I gasped and Mori's lips continued down my neck. His free hand pulled the strap to my shirt off my shoulder and his lips attacked my collar bone and shoulder. His lips trailed up my neck, leaving sloppy, wet kisses on the fair skin.

I understand, I said in his head. His lips stopped and he pulled back, looking into my eyes once again. "Do you?" he asked.

"You could take anything from me that you wanted. In this position I've gotten myself in right now, if you wanted to take my virginity you could and I'd be powerless to stop you."

"So what have you learned?"

I squirmed slightly under his intense gaze. "That I should be more careful? And that I should stop getting myself into these situations?"

Unsatisfied, Mori growled and pressed his lips to my neck again. His tongue darted out from between his lips and rolled around my pulse point. He sucked hard on the skin and bit down softly at first, but when I gave him no response he bit down harder and harder until I cried out.

"Ok, ok, I've learned that anyone can attack at any given point in time and that I need to be aware of everything that's going on all the time," I gasped out. His lips relinquished their hold on my skin and he looked back up at me, breathing hard.

"Lesson learned," he said. I smiled and stretched up, pressing my lips to his lightly. He rolled off of me and pulled me into his arms.

"So how did it go with Max?" I asked once we were settled.

"Ugh, I do not want to talk about it right now. We'll talk about it in the morning, ok?" Mori groaned out. I smiled and nodded into his chest. The rise and fall against my cheek coupled with the warmth of his body relaxed me. Mori's hand started trailing through my hair and down my back. Needless to say, I was asleep within minutes.

Ok, Ok, I know the Angel/Mori thing is moving pretty fast, but she's young and she needs it to move fast...understand? Haha i hope you liked the chapter...please leave me a review!

Ember :)
