“Is locked.” His eyes darkened, meeting mine.
That was all we needed.
I reached and his mouth met mine.
God. This kiss.
He applied pressure, demanding, commanding, until he pulled away. “Are you sure you feel okay?”
“Yes.” I slid my hand down his arm and entwined our fingers before I moved them between us. I put them exactly where I wanted them and reached up to draw him back to me. My hand slid around his shoulders and my fingers sunk in. “I want you.”
There were so many reasons I shouldn’t, but I was done. At this moment, I only wanted one thing.
Him.

Kai stayed with me most of the day, but we didn’t talk.
There was an ominous heaviness in the air, as if holding me wasn’t enough for him. He took me again, and then again, each time a little harder, a little more desperate, but always making me explode in his arms before he finished himself.
As he came, he never looked away. His eyes held mine, memorizing me, burning into me. Something told me to hold my words, to feel, to be present, to be here with him because something was going to happen. Something bad. Something that would take him away. But none of that mattered today. This was him and me.
The loathing and disgust, the feeling of compromise, I set that all aside.
It was as if this day was special, as if it would hold a place in our memories forever.
Around six that night, I sank down on him, my breasts on display for him to feast from, and I let my head fall back. He pushed up into me, and anchoring a hand to his chest, I began to roll back and forth.
I rode him.
His hands grasped my ass, his fingers pushing into my skin enough to leave handprints, and he growled, sitting up underneath me. His mouth latched onto one of my nipples. He sucked, and licked, and tasted, and I kept riding, moving faster and faster.
Reaching around me, he slid a hand up the middle of my back. Goosebumps broke out over my skin just before he wrapped a tendril of my hair around his finger.
“Wha—”
He tugged on it, holding my head back.
I kept moving on him, taking him in deep, clenching around him, but I looked to see what he was doing.
His hand tightened even more.
“Kai!” A breathy groan from me.
Another savage growl erupted from him. I felt it all the way in my pussy. Letting go of my hair, his hands went to my hips. He lifted me, setting me on my knees, and moved behind me. Fitting between my legs, he arched me farther up for him and thrust in from behind.
“Kai…” Another groan as the sensations of him moving in me built, heating me. I’d never had this much pleasure, not all at once, not in one day, and I felt like I could scream until I had no more voice.
My body tightened. I felt it coming.
He kept stretching me, digging deeper, then pausing, rotating inside, and finally I erupted.
“AGH!” The first waves crashed inside of me, then another, and another round of waves. My body convulsed until I settled back and realized I was still kneeling.
Kai had a firm arm wrapped around my waist, holding me up as he continued to pump inside of me.
He hadn’t come yet.
“Kai.” I took his hand, lifting it from my waist and pressing a kiss to it. Then I leaned forward, giving him a better angle. “Fuck me.”
He gripped my thigh as he began to do as I said.
He fucked me hard.
As he finished, he held still inside me. I felt his body trembling, but he didn’t pull out. He kissed my shoulder, running a lazy hand down my back.
“I can’t get enough of this.” He said it as if he were talking to himself, a quiet murmur. But he held me firm and dropped a second kiss to my forehead before pulling out, and we fell to the bed together.
He wrapped himself around me, his entire body stretching as he yawned against the back of my shoulder. “God, Riley.”
I felt his forehead press to the back of my neck. And as before, spoken as if I wasn’t supposed to hear him, he murmured, “How am I supposed to let you go?”
I didn’t answer him.
I couldn’t.
I didn’t know myself.
CHAPTER FORTY-ONE
“Well, hello there.”
A dark greeting alerted everyone in the kitchen to my presence.
Tanner stood by the kitchen counter, a glass in hand. He smirked and tilted his head, giving me a knowing look. “What a coincidence. You were in bed all day. Kai just ‘arrived’ even though we saw his guards earlier.” His mouth flattened.
There was an ugly glint in his eyes, but he took a sip from his drink and looked away as Brooke came toward me.
