Kai laughed as he pulled me closer and nuzzled into my neck. “Oh, I think we both know it’s not just my ego that’s big,” he murmured suggestively while he nipped at my earlobe.

I shivered, desire already starting to pool low in my belly again despite my recent earth-shattering orgasm. This man was insatiable. And apparently, so was I when it came to him.

“You're incorrigible,” I sighed, even as I tilted my head to give him better access to my neck.

“You love it,” he countered while he trailed kisses down my throat.

I hummed in agreement as I threaded my fingers through his hair. “I do. God help me, but I really do.”

Eventually, the real world began to creep back in. The distant sounds of Archer and Mila moving about the house reminded us that we couldn't stay cocooned in our little bubble forever.

With a sigh, I reluctantly untangled myself from Kai's embrace,sat up, and stretched my pleasantly sore muscles. “We should probably make an appearance before they send out a search party.”

Kai propped himself up on one elbow, his eyes raked appreciatively over my naked form. “Let them wonder,” he said with a mischievous grin. “I'm not done with you yet.”

Kai made good on his promise that he wasn’t finished with me. Six more orgasms later, I was about to succumb to sleep when a loud bang on the door startled us both. Mila's voice rang out from the other side, laced with amusement and a hint of urgency. “Rise and shine, lovebirds! We’ve got a situation out here that requires your immediate attention.”

I groaned as I buried my face in the pillow. “Can’t it wait until morning?”

“I’m afraid not,” Mila replied as her tone grew more serious.

Mila’s timing was impeccable, as always. I rubbed my eyes as I stumbled out of bed and wrapped a blanket around me to conceal my nakedness. I opened the door to find her grinning from ear to ear, her dark hair tousled and eyes gleaming with mischief.

“What’s going on?” I asked, stifling a yawn.

“Archer’s parents, Cassian and Evelyn King, are very interested in meeting you. They invited us all to dinner to celebrate our engagement tonight, and you can’t say no.”

“I can’t?”

Mila shook her head. “Trust me, when the King family extends an invitation, it’s more of a royal summons. Refusing would be like slapping them in the face.”

I sighed while I ran a hand through my disheveled hair. “Fine, but I'll need time to get ready. I can't exactly show up looking like I just rolled out of bed.”

“You mean Kai's bed,” Mila teased, winking at me. “Don't worry, you've got a few hours. I'll help you pick out something appropriate to wear.”

I glanced back at Kai, who had propped himself up on his elbows as he watched the exchange with an amused expression. “I guess we'll have to postpone round two,” he said, his voice still thick with sleep.

“Round seven, you mean,” I corrected him, feeling a blush creep up my neck as memories of our passionate night flooded my mind.

Mila's eyebrows shot up. “Seven? Damn, Kai, you really outdid yourself.”

Kai smirked, looking entirely too pleased with himself. “What can I say? I aim to please.”

I rolled my eyes and turned back to Mila. “Give me an hour to freshen up, and I'll meet you in your room to discuss wardrobe options.”

“You got it, babe,” Mila said as she blew me a kiss before sauntering off down the hallway, her laughter echoed behind her.

I closed the door and leaned against it. Kai was already climbing out of bed.

“You’re not nervous, are you?” he asked, his blue eyes twinkled with amusement.

“Of course I am,” I admitted as I bit my lower lip. “What if I say or do something embarrassing?”
