And then his mouth was on mine, hot and demanding, chasing away the chill of my dreams. I surrendered to his kiss, parting my lips to grant him access. His tongue swept inside and tangled with mine in a sensual dance that set my nerve endings on fire.

His hands roamed my body, slipping under the thin fabric of my nightgown to caress my fevered skin. Every touch, every stroke, sent sparks of pleasure racing through my veins. I arched into him, craving more, needing to be consumed by the flames of desire he ignited within me.

He made quick work of my flimsy nightgown, tossing it aside carelessly. I lay bare before him, exposed and vulnerable, but I felt no shame. As his gaze raked over me, his eyes darkened with lust and something deeper, something that made my heart skip a beat.

“You're so beautiful,” he rasped, his voice thick with emotion. “I don't deserve you.”

I reached up to cup his face, my thumbs stroked his stubbled cheeks. “You're the only one who does,” I told him fiercely. “You're the only one who sees me, all of me, and doesn't run away.”

Kai's expression softened, and he turned his head to press a kiss to my palm. “I'll never run from you, baby.”

His words were a vow, a promise that seared itself onto my heart. I pulled him down to me, claiming his lips in a searing kiss that left us both breathless. Kai’s hands resumed their exploration, skimming over my curves with reverent touches that set my skin ablaze. He traced the swell of my breasts, teasing the sensitive peaks until they pebbled under his fingers. I moaned into his mouth as he rolled my nipples between his fingers, sending jolts of pleasure straight to my core. Breaking the kiss to trail his lips down my neck, he nipped and sucked at my delicate skin. I threaded my fingers through his hair, holding him closer as he blazed a path of fire down my body. He lavished attention on my breasts, licking and sucking until I was writhing beneath him, pleading for more.

And he obliged.

Moving lower, his tongue dipped into my navel before continuing its descent. He settled between my thighs, his breath hot against my aching flesh. I held my breath in anticipation, every nerve in my body thrumming with need.

“Tell me what you need, little lamb.”

His voice was a low rumble that vibrated through my core. I gazed down at him, meeting his intense blue stare. At that moment, I felt stripped bare, not just physically, but emotionally. Kai could see into the depths of my soul all the broken pieces and jagged edges. And yet, he didn't flinch away.

“I need you,” I breathed, my voice barely above a whisper. “I need your mouth on me. I need to feel something other than the pain and the fear.”

A muscle ticked in Kai's jaw, and his eyes flashed with a fierce protectiveness. “I'll make it all go away,” he vowed.

And then his mouth was on me, his tongue delving between my folds to find my most sensitive spot. I cried out at the suddenrush of pleasure, my hips bucking off the bed. But Kai held me steady, his strong hands gripping my thighs as he worked me with his talented mouth.

He alternated between broad strokes of his tongue and gentle flicks against my clit, driving me higher and higher towards the precipice of ecstasy. My fingers tangled in his hair, tugging desperately as I lost myself to the sensations overtaking me.

“Kai, please,” I panted, unsure what I was begging for but knowing I needed more.

He seemed to understand my unspoken plea, sliding one long finger inside me as he continued his sensual assault with his mouth. I keened at the intrusion as my inner walls clenched around him greedily. He pumped his finger slowly, letting me adjust before adding a second.

The stretch burned deliciously, and I rocked my hips to meet his thrusts, chasing the mind-numbing pleasure that was building at my core. He curled his fingers just right, hitting the spot inside me that made stars explode behind my eyelids.

“That's it, baby,” he encouraged against my sensitive flesh. “Come for me. Give me your pain.”

His words were my undoing. With a hoarse cry of his name, I shattered, my body convulsing with the force of my release. Kai coaxed me through the aftershocks, his touches gentle as I floated down from my high.

When I finally regained my senses, Kai was hovering over me, his expression tender as he brushed a strand of sweat-dampened hair from my forehead. I reached for him, pulling him down into a languid kiss that was a poignant mix of gratitude and affection.

“Thank you,” I murmured against his lips when we parted.

Kai's brow furrowed, a flicker of confusion in his eyes. “For what?”

“For being my safe haven," I said softly, tracing the line of his jaw. “For chasing away the darkness, even if only for a little while.”

His gaze turned solemn, and he pressed his forehead to mine. “I’ll always be your safe place, Haven. I promise you that.”

My heart clenched at his words, a bittersweet ache blooming in my chest. In this moment, wrapped in his arms, I could almost believe that promise. But a small, cynical part of me knew that promises were fragile things in our world, easily shattered by the cruel realities we faced. Still, I clung to his vow like a lifeline, desperate for something to hold onto amidst the chaos that had become my life. He had become my anchor, the one constant in the sea of uncertainty and danger.

I pulled him closer, needing to feel his skin against mine, to reassure myself that he was real and not just another figment of my tortured dreams. He came willingly, his body covering mine like a protective shield. We made love slowly, tenderly, savoring each touch and caress as if it might be our last. In the back of my mind, I knew that this stolen moment of peace was fleeting, that soon we would have to face the harsh light of day and all the challenges it would bring.

But for now, I lost myself in Kai, in the way he worshiped my body with reverent hands and passionate kisses. He brought me to the peak again and again, each climax more intense than the last, until I was boneless and sated in his arms.

“My father wants to meet you soon,” he said, breaking the silence.

“What? Why?”
