I smiled against his chest, my body still humming with satisfaction. “Nor I feeling you inside me,” I purred, tilting my head to kiss his still-racing heart softly. “You fill me so perfectly.”
His hand drifted down my back, his fingers tracing the curve of my spine before coming to rest on the swell of my hip. “You were made for me,” he rumbled, his voice low and rough with satisfaction. “Every inch of you fits me like a glove.”
I shivered at his possessive words. A fresh wave of desire washed over me despite my satiated state. Kai had this effect on me—no matter how many times he brought me to the heights of ecstasy, I always craved more. It was like nothing I had ever experienced.
His fingers flexed on my hip, digging into my soft flesh. “I want to keep you in this bed forever,” he growled. “Spend days worshiping this beautiful body until you forget everything but my name.”
I lifted my head to meet his heated gaze. My core immediately clenched at the undisguised hunger in his dark eyes.
"Then why don't you?" I breathed, my voice a husky purr. "I'm yours, Kai. Body and soul. Do with me as you please."
A low groan rumbled in his chest. In one swift motion, he flipped us over so I was pinned beneath his hard, muscular body. "Careful what you wish for, my love," he warned, his eyes glinting with untamed desire. "If I had my way, I’d tie you to my bed and never let you leave."
“I fail to see the downside,” I quipped breathlessly, arching up to press my naked body flush against his.
Kai's answering growl vibrated against my lips as he captured my mouth in a searing kiss. His tongue delved deep, claiming me, consuming me. I moaned into the kiss, my hands fisting in his thick, silky hair.
He nipped at my lower lip before trailing hot, open-mouthed kisses along my jaw and down the column of my throat. I tilted my head back with a breathy moan, giving him better access. His teeth grazed over my racing pulse before his tongue soothed the slight sting.
“You drive me wild,” Kai rasped against my flushed skin. “I can never get enough of you.”
His large hands skimmed down my sides, caressing each dip and curve. Calloused fingers trailed over my quivering stomach before dipping between my thighs. I cried out, my back bowing off the bed as he stroked me with knowing fingers.
“Always so responsive," he praised huskily. “So eager for my touch.”
“Only for you,” I panted, my hips rocking wantonly against his hand.
The sound of harsh knocks on the door jolted us from our lust-filled haze. Kai’s head snapped up, his body tensing protectively over mine.
“Ignore it,” I breathed, my body thrumming with need. “Don’t stop.”
A voice called out from the other side.
“Kai? Are you in there?”
“Who the fuck is that?” I whispered.
The knocking grew more insistent, echoing loudly through the room. Kai cursed under his breath, reluctantly rolling off of me. He snatched his discarded pants from the floor and yanked them on with jerky motions.
I sat up, clutching the rumpled sheet to my bare chest. My gaze flicked to Gerald’s lifeless body sprawled in a pool of congealing blood. Cold dread seeped into my bones.
Ikilledsomeone.
I actually took someone’s life.
Not someone innocent, but still a human’s life.
I watched him go, my heart hammering against my ribs. My fists clenched the sheet so tightly my knuckles had turned white. I could hear the low murmur of voices from the other room, but I couldn't make out the words over the roaring of blood in my ears.
He cracked it open, keeping his body blocking the view into the room.
“What is it?” he bit out, his voice tight with barely restrained irritation.
“I've been texting you,” the voice on the other side replied, tinged with exasperation. “Figured you needed a clean-up crew since you weren’t answering.”
Kai's jaw clenched. He glanced back at me briefly, his dark eyes unreadable, before turning back to the door. “Give me a minute.”
He shut the door firmly and stalked over to where I sat frozen on the bed, still clutching the sheet to my naked body. Bending down, he scooped up my dress from the floor and tossed it to me.
