Storm heard Sara and them singing happy birthday to Moon, He used the opportunity to leave. Arriving twenty minutes later. He checked his schedule, and the only meeting for today had to be rescheduled. The gentleman had a family emergency. Which was fine. Storm was at his desk going over some last minute paperwork, when Sara walked in. She peeped her head in his office. "Good morning!" She said cheerfully. "Good morning." He said back. Closing the door behind her. She heard her desk phone ringing. She hurried over to it. Picking it up, she said. "Hello." Into the receiver. The voice she heard, instantly had her smiling. "Drake?" She asked." The one and only sis. Storm's office door was ajar, he heard his brother's name. Getting up, he walked over to the door and opened it. Hearing the door, Sara looked over. Storm was standing there. She was smiling, and motioned for him to come over. Walking over, he stood next to her desk. The floor was still empty, they hadn't opened the doors yet. Sara hit the speaker button. Drake's smooth voice said. "Hey sis, how's it going?" Great and you're on speaker, Storms here as well. "Bro!" Storm shook his head. He'd always been the goofy one. While storm has been "the more serious one. How are they treating you there, Drake?" Storm asked. Very well, I'd have to say. So well in fact, that I'm considering staying. Sara's eyes grew big. "Surely you're just kidding right?" Drake broke out into a laugh hearty laugh. I'm just kidding sis. I'd miss my second mom too much and my too serious brother. "Do you have a time yet, when you may be heading back?" Asked storm. Yes, in about four more months. Sara clapped her hands together, in excitement. "I can't believe it has been almost a year." Drake said. Have you guys heard from mom and dad? Yes, they're still traveling. They said they miss us all and can't wait to return for the holidays. The three of them talked for a while longer, said their goodbyes and hung up. Come on Sara, lets head out. But its only, noon. I know, I'd assume you want to get ready for the ball tonight. Oh sure, sure. Sara wrapped up what she was doing and they each headed to their cars. While they were walking and talking. I almost forgot to mention, today's Moon's birthday. Storms eyes grew wide for a split second, Sara almost missed it. "Oh alright." He said nonchalantly. Storm pretended, his phone was vibrating in his pocket and answered it. Getting in his car across from her, he rolled down his window. I have some business to take care of, I'll see you later. Sara arrived home and walk through the doors into a mad house. All the women were hustling around, getting ready for the ball. As was tradition, the males were separated from the females until the ball. Sara made her way up to her room, to shower and get dressed. before heading up to the three floor, she went to check on Moon once more. She lightly knocked on the door. "Come in." Came Moon's reply. She walked in to Moon laying across the bed, reading. "Last time I'll ask, I promise." Said Sara. You sure you're not interested? It's your birthday and I hate leaving you in this big house alone. Moon smiled. Yes I'm sure, thank you. I have some reading I want to catch up on anyway. I'll be fine. Go, and have a good time for you and me. Sara nodded and got off the bed, and left to get ready. A few hours later, all the women were ready and anxious. Sara peeped her head in once more. " We're heading out Moon, see you later tonight." Enjoy yourself, and happy birthday again. The house was growing quiet, as their rides showed up and everyone was leaving. Within an hour, it had grown totally quiet. Suddenly Moon heard the front door. They must have forgotten something. She shrugged her shoulders and went back to reading. Storm entered the house and it was completely quiet. Upon entering the house, it felt different to him. He couldn't put his hand on what it was. He went to his room and changed, he noticed Moon light was off. He guessed she was sleep. He'd overheard, she wasn't attending the ball as well. He refused to go, as he wasn't looking for a new mate. A couple hours later Moon was hungry, so she decided to go grab something to eat. She went down the stairs and happened to look out the window. She noticed Storm’s car parked outside. "I guess he wasn't feeling the ball either." She muttered to herself." "Who are you talking to?" Storm asked from behind her. She gasped and spun around. This time he was shirtless and wet. His chest glistened under the lights from the hall. His was still damp and hung down to his shoulders. Muscles rippled as he gripped the towel in his hands. His hair had curled due to the shower. Her eyes followed the trail down from his chest down to the waistband of his sweatpants. She looked lower and her eyes grew big. She blushed and spun back around the other way. Storm chuckled inwardly. He noticed her checking him out. He could tell she was attracted to him and it aroused him. He didn't mean for her to see his reaction though. Her reaction was hilarious though. You'd thought, she'd never been with a man. He said to her. "I'm just heading to the kitchen for something to eat." "Me too." She said over her shoulder. I can make you a sandwich if you like. Sure. Once there, she went about the kitchen preparing them. One for her and him. A few minutes later, she had two sandwiches sitting on the counter for them. Oh! "I almost forgot. I'll be back in a second." Moon wondered what was going on. She bit into her sandwich while she waited. A few minutes later he returned. He set down in front of her, but she still refused to look at him. He pushed her sandwich aside and place a small box there instead. She noticed it. It was a black box, wrapped beautifully with a silver and turquoise bow. it was her favorite colors. How did… you know my favorite colors? I have my ways. "But why?" She asked quietly. A truce, you could say. I realize, I've been a bit mean to you. And I want to say sorry. There was a moment of awkward silence " Open it!" He said softly. She opened it. On a little pillow set a silver necklace, with a lone mountain turquoise stone surrounded by diamonds. Her eyes grew big. I… I can't except this, it’s too much. "Please? "Storm pleaded. And put his hand on top of hers, and immediately regretted it. Her skin felt so creamy and soft. Electricity seemed to course through his blood from hers. She felt it too and looked up. Mate! Both their minds screamed. Shock dawned on both their faces. Moon licked her lips nervously. Storm eyes followed the motion. Moon noticed Storms eyes darken. And heard him say. To hell with this, just before coming around the counter. Moon turned toward him. He just stood there staring down into her eyes. Standing at more than 6'3, he dwarfed Moon's mere 5'5 height. He grabbed her around the waist and lifted her up onto the counter. Never losing eye contact, he reached down and parted her legs. Walking in between them, he cupped her face with his large hands. Leaning down, he kissed her lips gently at first. Then the hunger too over and the kiss became greedy. He nudged her lips open with his tongue and thrust it inside. She moaned just a little. The kiss was making her heady. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck. He pulled back and started licking her ear. Then started licking a trail down her neck and she moaned again. Moon was in ecstasy. He continued his trail, unbuttoning her shirt as he went. A white lace bra was beneath. He started sucking a harden n****e through the fabric. Moon arched up against the sensation. The motion brought her hips further forward on the counter. Suddenly, she felt the hardness of Storm, against her. She started rocking her hips against him. Craving something, she'd never had a taste of. Storm moan against her n****e. He reluctantly pulled back and stood up. Reaching around he grabbed her waist and pulled her against him and started grinding against her. She wrapped her legs around him. She was driving him crazy. He was rubbing up and down her back. Sliding his hands further down, he cupped her butt and lifted her up. He walked them to the couch and placed her gently down on it. He stood over her watching the heat in her eyes. Before getting down on top of her. Opening her legs, she welcomed him. Again, he started to kiss her. His kisses burned everywhere they touched. Moon writhed and moaned beneath him. Her body begged for more. Just as Storm was reaching down to undo her pants, they heard the lock. They both froze.
