The Morning After [House Party cont]

[Oriena]

Nox didn’t push her for more of an answer, and she didn’t offer one. By the thank you offered he heard what she didn’t say, and it drew a look from her but no comment. She chose to assume he was only showing gratitude for the mind control trick, and put the rest from her thoughts – she wouldn’t dwell on the request, or what the future might hold. As far as the knowledge shared went, Ori didn’t care what he did or didn’t do with it, and after a moment she only tipped a shoulder. A smirk flickered her lips at the same time, like she could think of better ways to play with what she gave him, but she never really cared for Nox when he was in this kind of mood. The chaos of his domestic situation held no interest for her, nor what hungover dregs might be left over from last night’s party.

“Mmhm,” was all she said. She twisted him round and pushed the small of his back so he headed for the fucking door, not violent this time, and if it was proprietary in nature it wasn’t in a sexual way. Just one impatient to be done with the moment.
