“You’re everything I’ve ever wanted. The person I want to give everything to. The person I want to share my life with,” he whispers intimately in my ear. “I’m sorry about the time we’ve lost. But don’t think that for one second, my feelings for you changed. They were just buried under hurt and anger.”
I don’t know what to say. We still have so much to discuss, but Kai doesn’t seem to expect me to say anything. He just slips out of me as gently as he can, and I hear him tuck himself back into his pants.
“Let me see if there’s anyone out there, then we can turn the light on and clean up.” Kai unlocks the door quietly, quieter than we were probably shaking the door with our thrusts to be honest.
“Oh fuck,” he groans.
“What?” I scramble to pull down my skirt and cover myself, but another figure pushes inside the room. I wind up to scream before a hand covers my face.
“Shut. Up.” Reis snaps.
“Reis?” I ask, annoyed, when he drops his hand.
“I’m turning the light on,” he growls angrily and flicks the harsh fluorescent light on. My eyes find Kai first; he looks thoroughly fucked and satisfied. Cocky with a goofy grin on his face, red, swollen lips and his blonde hair sticking up all over. I mentally pat myself on the back for making him look like that.
Mine.
I’m sure I look just as wrecked, I know I feel like it.
I pull my shirt down quickly, but Reis already got a good view of the girls.
Reis growls under his breath, crossing his arms over his chest angrily.
“Do you both even know what you’ve done?” He hisses. But I don’t miss the way his eyes trace my body, drinking me in in my disheveled state.
“And you,” he turns to Kai, who’s smiling wildly, pointing a finger at his chest. “Do you not remember the fucking bullshit she put us through? The hurt and backstabbing? Or was she easy enough that you just thought you’d get in a quick fuck before we send her on her way back to Hicksville so we can live our lives in peace again? I bet that was it. She seems easy as hell.” Reis' eyes are malicious, cruel, and calculating, all to try and get a rise out of me.
Unfortunately, it’s working.
Because that’s what I’m scared of, isn’t it? That they’re just using me to get back at me.
“Shut the fuck up, Reis,” Kai snaps, shoving him backward into the sink and coming to stand in front of me protectively. “You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Oh, I think I do.” He laughs menacingly. “Maybe we should let her have a go at the others. She’d probably like that, hell, she probably already has. Just trying to get some dick from all of us.”
“Not from you though,” I pipe in, speaking over Kai’s shoulder. “Jealous, Reis?”
“That they all want to be tunnel buddies? No, I’m not jealous.” He takes a step towards me, looks down at me through the top of his eyes giving him a sinister look. “Who wants sloppy seconds? Thirds? Fourths? Fuck, you’re ruined.”
His words hit andfucking hurt.I open my mouth with a retort, but Kai’s hand snaps out and he punches Reis in the nose. Hard.
Reis' nose starts to bleed profusely, his eyes watering, and he immediately starts to cup his nose, while looking at Kai like he betrayed him.
“What the fuck, man?!” Reis cries. The black eye I gave him earlier is dark and now a stark contrast to the blood trickling down his face.
“Don’t youever fucking speakto her like that again. It’s time to grow up, Reisyn. She’s our girl; Adam, Markus and mine. If you have an issue with that, fine, but you will not talk to her that way. It’sonlybecause we’re such good friends that I’m not killing you right now,” Kai speaks clearly. Each word drips with threat and violence.
“You’re taking her side?” Reis scoffs.
“Damn right I am.” Kai takes my hand and pushes me behind him slightly. “You were wrong.Iwas wrong. And it fucked everything up. I won’t let it happen again.”
My gaze goes to Reis, to see how he takes it. For a split-second, I’m worried that he’s hurt. Reis' dark eyes dip down and he bites the inside of his lip as he takes a steadying breath.
Maybe Kai finally got through to him that I’m not the enemy here. That I’m not doing everything I can to fuck them over. That I’m not a liar. That I wasn’t using them.
But then his eyes meet mine.
Gone is the vulnerability that was there a second ago; in its place is anger. All of it directed at me.
