Page 63 of The Devil's Chaos

Kai began to move slowly at first, pulling almost all the way out before slamming back into me with a force that made me see stars. His thrusts grew harder, faster, as he set a punishing pace that had me crying out. The balcony railing dug into my hips as he pounded into me from behind, but I enjoyed the pain.

“Kai,” I moaned. “Harder…fuck me harder.”

He snarled as he snapped his hips forward, driving into me with a force that shook me to my core. His fingers dug into my hips, sure to leave bruises, as he held me steady, angling my body to hit that perfect spot within me with each thrust.

“Is this what you wanted, little lamb?” he spoke against my ear. “To be taken hard and fast, right here where anyone could see?”

“Yes!” I cried out. My voice broke as he thrust deep. “Don’t stop. Please don’t stop.”

He chuckled darkly, the sound vibrating through his chest pressed against my back. “I’m not going to stop until you’re screaming my name and the whole party knows who you belong to.”

His words only fueled the fire raging inside me. I pushed back against him, meeting every powerful thrust with my own. The sound of skin slapping against skin mingled with our moans and gasps, a primal symphony that filled the night air.

Kai's hand slid from my hip, ghosting over the curve of my ass before coming down in a sharp smack. I cried out, clenching around him as the sting morphed into pleasure. He squeezed the reddened flesh, soothing the sting before bringing his hand down again, harder this time. I writhed against him, the delicious combination of pain and pleasure pushing me closer to the brink.

“You like that, don’t you?” He punctuated his words with another sharp smack. “You like when I spank this perfect ass while I’m buried deep inside you.”

“Yes,” I whimpered. “I love the way you make me feel.”

His hand slid around my hip, finding my swollen clit. He rubbed tight, fast circles around the sensitive bundle of nerves, and I saw stars. The dual sensations of his thick cock stretching me and his skilled fingers on my clit were almost too much to bear. My climax was building, coiling tighter and tighter in the pit of my stomach.

“That's it, baby. Take everything I give you. You’re mine, Haven. All mine," Kai growled. “You're being such a good girl for me.”

His praise washed over me, stoking the flames of my desire.

"Fuck, Haven," he groaned, burying his face in the crook of my neck as his hips stuttered. "I’m getting close. I want you to come with me.”

I shattered as my inner walls clenched around him like a vice. I cried out his name, not caring who might hear, as my orgasm ripped through my body with a force that left me whimpering. He stilled and spilled himself deep inside me. I felt the warmth of his release coating my inner walls as he pulsed and twitchedwithin me. His teeth sank into the sensitive skin of my shoulder, marking me as he rode out the waves of his climax.

His arms stayed wrapped around me, holding me close as he pressed soft, reverent kisses along my neck and shoulders. When our breathing slowed, he gently withdrew from my body. I winced at the sudden emptiness, already missing the feeling of him inside of me. He turned me around to face him, his hands cupping my face as he gazed down at me with a tenderness that made my heart ache. His hair was tousled, his cheeks flushed, and his lips swollen from our kisses.

I could only imagine what I looked like.

Kai brushed a stray lock of hair from my face, tucking it behind my ear with a gentle touch. “You are so beautiful,” he murmured, his eyes roaming over my face as if committing every detail to memory.

I leaned into his touch, savoring the warmth of his palm against my cheek. “So are you,” I whispered, tracing the strong line of his jaw with my fingertips.

He captured my hand, bringing it to his lips to press a soft kiss against my knuckles. The tender gesture made my heart flutter in my chest. I had never seen this side of Kai—gentle, affectionate, almost vulnerable. It starkly contrasted the dominant, commanding presence he exuded in front of others and in the bedroom.

I reached up, cupping his face in my hands as I pulled him down for a languid kiss. Our lips moved together in a slow dance, savoring the taste and feel of each other. When we finally parted, Kai rested his forehead against mine. His eyes closed as he held me close.

“We should probably head back inside,” he murmured, though he made no move to release me from his embrace. “People might start to wonder where we disappeared to.”

I couldn't help but giggle. “I think they probably have a pretty good idea, given how loud we were.”

Kai chuckled, the deep, rich sound sending shivers down my spine. “Let them talk. I want the whole world to know that you're mine.”

The possessive edge to his voice sent a thrill through me. I had never belonged to anyone before and had never wanted to. But with him, it felt different. It felt right, like I had finally found my place in the world, wrapped in his strong arms.

Reluctantly, we disentangled ourselves, and he helped me adjust my gown. I straightened his tie and smoothed down his tousled hair, though I secretly loved the just-fucked look on him. He tucked himself back into his pants and put his mask back on. Hand in hand, we returned to the ballroom, slipping effortlessly back into the swirling crowd of masked revelers. Everywhere I looked, couples were dancing, kissing, and touching with wild abandon, their inhibitions stripped away by the anonymity of their masks. No one seemed to have noticed our absence, too caught up in their own revelry to pay us any mind.

I caught sight of Mila and Archer in the crowd, judging by where her hands were. I’d say we both had the same mind regarding what we were interested in. I smiled and looked away, giving them privacy, and I saw Maddie making her way through the crowd. Her eyes were fixed on something in front of her, so I followed her gaze to see a pretty blonde heading toward the exit with a tall man with dark hair.

I squinted my eyes because there was something familiar about the man’s profile. But it couldn’t be…

My heart skipped a beat because I realized who the man was. Even with his mask on, I would recognize that profile anywhere. It was my brother, and he was leaving the masquerade ball with a blonde woman I had seen hanging out with Mila at the quarry.

I stood frozen, my mind reeling as I tried to process what I’d seen. Sensing my sudden tension, Kai followed my gaze and looked back at me with concern etched on his face.
