When The Monster Bites

Chapter 3- Cora

Ok plan C, let Orion help with my horrendous cravings and unchecked powers. I need control and practice could be fun.

Smiling at myself, I quickly wipe my mouth, stopping the drool from dripping any further. Why am I like this? I release what little grasp I have on his mind.

“Now Orion, how could you help me?” Drawing hearts against his chest with my finger I ask. I chuckle as I draw a p***s shape.

“Well with eight bodies in six months predators sure but still dead bodies. I would say you need all the help I can give you. First, how does training to control your powers sound? Maybe a job? You must pay Victor back first and foremost. Anastasia, I can and will help you. If you let me.”

“Alright, I guess. You talked me into it.” ‘like I have any other options.’ Rolling my eyes and kicking my feet back and forth like a child.

“I need a new place to live. I can’t have more twitches sneaking up on me.” Flicking off invisible lint trying to seem confident or that this isn’t the best news I've heard in a year. I could stop driniking if I had more control, and maybe have a life again.

“On two conditions you can crash at my place.” He stares into my eyes unyielding.

“Oook no problem. Give me these ‘conditons’ that are so serious. Impatient for the answer but I wait.

“You must not kill any of my homes…occupants.”

“A girl has got to eat, Orion.” I say looking to the side in shame.

“We will find suitable a suitable means for your appetite.” Did I see a note of worry when he said ‘appetite’?

“Whatever you say, wise one.”

Raising an eyebrow, he continues.

“Also, no one must know of my home.”

“Why?”

“It is not known to the academy of its existence. I would like to keep it that way.”

“Oh my, my, my, does big bad Orion have secrets from his beloved school? Shameful.” I slide off the desk my interest peaked.

“What other secrets do you have?” gracing the professor with my pert ass, I take my seat on his lap slyly wrapping my arms around him. I won’t mention my embarrassment at my immediate response to being close to him is to inhale along his neck. Delicious...

Absolutely delicious…just a little more, taste, this time. I lick up the side of his neck. He tastes even better than he smells. My mouth starts salivating and a dribble of drool streams from its attachment on his neck to my lower lip. I pull back, realizing how drowsy and intoxicated I’ve started to feel. From the profressor or something else?

“Umm, Anastasia, I think we need to add another condition.” I start to move in for another long lick that is the dreaminess of his neck and then reality smashes the surface of my desire for him with the uncertainty that mixes into Orion’s voice.

Caught mid-lick. “Dammit Orion, Sorry.” I jump back. I can’t seem to shake his smell away actually shaking my head to ride my nose of it. My senses are on fire. What would he smell like with my wolf here. I can feel her pacing the infernal cage she’s been trapped in.

“I need a drink. Let’s go. We can talk on our way.” I say irritated with myself. I grabbed his hand hoping to drag him along but he starts to pull away resisting my efforts. ‘What the f**k? Orion, we have places to be, move…please.

“Cora, I cannot just leave. I have another class in like thirty minutes.”

When I look back, he is on his phone messaging someone else.

“Tisk, Tisk. That doesn’t matter right now.” I chatise him seizing the phone on impulse and of course I take off running. Who doesn’t love a game of keep away.

Laughing mainically, “Come and get it, Orion.” Dashing out of the auditorium doors, I feel him hot on my heels.

Shit. He is kind of fast.

“Cora! f**k! Cora!” His voice is nearly at a shout and what a feat. it is to rile Orion’s fagile feathers.

“uh, oh, Orion is mad…” I giggle admiring the phone as I come to a halt at the exit. I patiently wait as Orion alides around the corner eyes black and searching. When did Orions eyes turn black? Time to go. I turn and dash to the parking lot trying to remember what his vehicle looks like.

“You know what orion!?” I yell over my shoulder making sure the slow poke hears me as the chase continues through the parking lot.

“What!” he growls closer than I expected. He steps out behind a car that is only two spaces away.

“How are you supposed to help if you cant keep up!” I laugh thrilled he’s chasing me. What a good time to be alive! I haven’t had this much fun since… Well since my days pestering him in his class and any other chance I could get. Certain people are just fun to annoy.
