The idea that she had wanted to kiss him for some time genuinely surprised Orion. He had never been allowed much time for friendship outside of the family in his life. While they hid in plain sight, Orion had been watched like a hawk by his cousins to make sure he did not get caught up in something like his father had. He understood Gadje and Americans but had generally had poor interactions. His very nature did not exactly scream out for extroversion. So to think that she had been waiting or wanting a kiss seemed strange in his mind.

A chuckle rolled off his lips in deep tones. "No, it was nice." Shades of rose spread across his cheeks as he answered her. Sometimes he did not know how to respond to her or if he should. Sarcasm did not work when she was around unless they were people watching.
