“If I give you five more minutes, we won’t ever make it out of this bed.”

“And that’s a problem?”

I feel him smile against my skin.

“Normally, no. But today are the quarterfinals and we promised Maisie we’d be there. She’s starting in their biggest game of the year as afreshman.” I try to make my point clear, just how big of a deal this really is.

“I know.” He draws back to look down at me. “It’s a big deal, I get it. But do you want to know what else is a big deal?” He grinds his erection into my stomach.

“You’re insatiable.” I smile up at him.

“With you, always.” He shifts lower and while I know time is quickly getting away from us, I spread wide for him anyway, allowing him to settle between my thighs.

“You know, eventually, you’re going to have to let me out of this bed,” I tell him, biting back a groan when I feel him tease my entrance.

“Eventually, but not yet.”

He presses forward, his eyes darkening as he enters me painfully slowly.

All thoughts of anything that isn’t Kai filter away, replaced by the overwhelming pleasure of his body as it fully enters mine.

I let the groan that builds in my throat fall freely from my lips, my fingers digging into his hips as I urge him to move faster.

“Tell me you love me?” he whispers breathlessly against my mouth before his tongue slips past my lips, colliding with mine.

“I love you,” I moan into the kiss.

“Fuck. Say it again.” He pulls back just enough that he can look me in the eyes but still close enough that our noses touch.

“I love you,” I repeat a second time, the intensity of his gaze making my already too-hot flesh feel like it’s aflame.

It’s only been six days since the party, and I’ve already lost count of how many times he’s asked me to say those words, almost like he’s trying to convince himself that it’s real. And trust me, I know the feeling.

Hitching my leg around one of his arms, he enters me so deeply I swear I can feel him in my stomach. Dropping my head back, I let out a gargled groan of pleasure as my orgasm starts to build. It’s slow at first, an ache just out of reach, but it quickly blooms into a blinding pleasure that snakes up my spine and coils around it so tightly, I feel like it might snap my body in half.

“Look at me.”

My eyes pop open at Kai’s command, our gazes locking.

“Kai...” A breathless whisper as my release tips.

“Don’t look away.” His expression contorts as he chases his own endless bands of pleasure.

I do as he says, keeping my eyes locked on his even though every part of me wants to close them. To hide from the body-bending pleasure that has me bucking against him like a wild horse that doesn’t want to be broken, and yet, that’s exactly what I want. For him to break me in the way only he can. For him to shatter me into a million tiny pieces, only to put me right back together so we can do it all over again.

And shatter me he does.

My entire body goes rigid as my orgasm tears through me with so much force that tears prick the backs of my eyes.

Kai pulls everything from me.

Every ounce of pleasure.

Every emotion.

It all boils to the surface, blurring together in a lethal concoction that has me whimpering beneath him, overwhelmed by the sheer power of him.

And still, I keep my eyes locked on his, watch him succumb to his own storm, watch the power ofmybody take him under in the same way his does mine, and I revel in the sight.
