Stepping back I tilted my face up, offering my lips to the alpha filling every one of my senses. He didn’t hesitate to crush his lips against mine in a kiss that left me breathless and weak in the knees.
Footsteps in the hall had us turning to the door. Theo turned the corner then froze, raising his eyebrows in question.
“It’s safe,” Jordan said with a chuckle, though he didn’t let me move out of his embrace.
“Where’s Tori?” Theo asked as he glanced around the empty apartment.
“Probably burning her underwear collection,” I mused. “She got sick to her stomach.”
“I don’t bl—” he cut off as my phone rang in my pocket. I yanked it out to silence it then saw it was my mom.
“She’ll call again if I don’t answer,” I said as I hit the green button and put the phone to my ear. “Hey, Mom.”
“Oh, my son is alive?” she asked with a sigh.
“I am,” I confirmed. “Sorry, Warren moved to town and things have been busy.”
“Perfect! I bought way too much chicken and I need to fix it. Come for dinner.”
As usual, it wasn’t a request but a demand. This woman was a pain in the ass but god, I loved her.
And it was a pretty good opportunity to distract my mate.
“Hang on a second, mom,” I said, pulling the phone away from my ear and turning to my mate.
“Yes?” he asked, looking slightly unnerved.
“Mom wants to have dinner. I thought it might be good for Tori,” I admitted.
“Okay,” he said, his voice more unsure than I’d ever heard it.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes,” he agreed. His attention shifted to Theo who shook his head.
“You guys, go. Easton and I will keep watch here.”
Nodding, I put the phone back to my ear.
“You got room for a few more?”
Her screech could be heard in the next county.
“Did you find your mate?” she demanded. “You and Warren, I should say.”
“We did,” I admitted. “Can I bring Jordan and Tori with us?”
“That’s not even a question my son should have to ask,” she scoffed. “I’ll make my famous apple crisp for dessert. See you tonight!”
The phone call ended without giving me a chance to say goodbye and I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Who’s breaking the news to Tori?” I asked.
“What now?” she asked in a whine. Warren led her toward us and I gave him a look.
“Mom called.”
“Dinner?” he guessed with a chuckle. I nodded and he nudged Tori. “Ready to meet the parents, Tori?”
