Page 55 of Just Between Us

I’ve never wanted to tell Levi about my past even when I know I should. Perhaps selfishly, I was enjoying being something other than what my family sees me as.

Looking at Kai now, it’s the same. I don’t want him to know that version of Cole. That Cole is long gone.

“I have a complicated relationship with my brother and my family in general. This was one of those conversations where those complications come up.”

Kai gives me a thin smile. “I have a complicated relationship with my father too. Well, my stepfather but I get it.”

His eyes tell me that he does get it and even if a part of me wants to know more, I decide against asking. It would open up something I know we shouldn’t. I think we’ve already gone too far.

As if he senses my hesitation, he comes around the counter until he’s standing right beside me. “How can I make it better?” he asks quietly, eyes filled with lust.

It’s too easy for him. Outside of Levi, no one else manages to get this reaction out of me.I lift his chin slightly. Again, I wonder what it is about him.

“How do you do it?” I ask.

He blinks innocently. “Do what?”

“Have both of us so addicted to being inside you.”

Kai’s lips part but he doesn’t blush or try to look away. Instead, he meets my eyes, smirking and shrugs before turning to walk away but I don’t let him get far. I pull him back into me, his lips meeting mine. Strangely, I forget about Nick’s threats and the email sitting in my inbox.

“Oh God…” Kai whispers against my mouth, “Please.”

And suddenly I want to know just how far I can push him. I know Levi’s limits, and he doesn’t have many and in the last weeks, I’ve learned Kai doesn’t mind pain either. When this began, I wanted to ruin him but that’s changed. I want more than that. I want to own him. The fervour I feel for it is blinding.

I grab the nape of his neck, gripping hard and he whimpers. That gets my cock’s attention. “You want me to fuck you like the slut you are, princess?”

He noticeably blushes at the name, but he nods.

“Verbal yes, please, baby.”

“Y-yes, Cole. Please.”

I pull him closer, my mouth connecting with his, and I feel him melt against me. Kai makes me feel a hint of something I rarely feel. A feeling I chased for years before I met Levi.

He lies back, looking up at me, eyes shining under the golden lights. It’s not dark yet outside, the final light spilling through Levi and I’s room. Kai is completely naked under me, his muscles taut, and they move whenever he shifts slightly. He’s beautiful and I want to destroy everything he is until all that’s left is mine.

“What do you think the most important sense during sex is?”

Kai looks up at me, frowning slightly. “I don’t know,” he says. “Touch? Sight?”

I nod. “Good. Which one would you rather lose today?”

He opens his mouth, then closes it. “Um, touch?” he whispers. “I think I want to see you.”

I grin, reaching for the tie on the bedside table. It’s navy-blue silk and it looks beautiful against his skin. “Hold up your hands for me.”

He looks up at me for a second and I feel his hesitation but then he comes to a decision and holds them up. I tie around his wrists, placing them above his head but not tying too tightly in case he bruises.

“Do you know your limits?” I ask.

Kai swallows. “I’ve never thought about it,” he says, “But I like everything we’ve done so far.” He pauses again. “I don’t mind the pain. I like it when you’re rough.”

“And if I used a knife?”

His eyes widen an inch. I can see his mind working, but after a second, he nods.

“What did I say about using your words?” I ask. “Next time that will earn you a slap, understood?”
