Page 166 of Until We Burn
The sound of our rebellion and our desire fills the apartment.
Fuck rationality.
Fuck what the media thinks.
Fuck what the Huangs and the Valdises want to do to us.
None of it matters as long as I have her.
Diana whimpers. Her face scrunches up in agony. “I-I’m so…I’m so close, Kai.”
“It’s okay. C-Come for me, princess. I’ll fuck you as many times as you want tonight.J-Just please,”I rasp against her skin,“Remind me how it feels to have that pussy gush all over me.”
Diana struggles to nod her head.“Okay.”
“Okay.”My hand wraps around the nape of her neck before I start fucking up into her. My grunts and Diana’s cries echo off the walls so loudly I don’t care who hears us. Sweat wets our skin, as they slap together in a desperate, savage pace that has me seeing white.
“Don’t stop, Kai,”Diana sobs. “I want you to fuck me through it.”
Our orgasms breach at the same time, crashing and colliding until we’re breathless and clinging to each other, gasping ‘I love you’s’ on the way down.
I keep going and drain out every last bit of pleasure as Diana shakes and convulses against me.
When we come down from our high, Uncle Manu’s words find me again:You deserve everything that’s good in this life, Kainoa, and out of all the truths you come to realize about yourself, I hope that one is the first.
I hug Diana close as we try to catch our breaths.
She smiles at me with her eyes crinkling together.
I’m the luckiest guy in the world to find her through the ruins of everything I’ve lost.
“Do you want to go on a date with me?” I whisper.
She giggles. “I think it’s a little late for that, don’t you think?”
“No, seriously.” I squeeze her hand and hold it to my heart. “I want to do it all with you, starting with taking you out on a real date where I open my car door for you, pay for dinner at a restaurant, and sweat through my shirt the whole time because I’m so goddamn nervous.”
Diana laughs into my chest. I watch her, mesmerized until she looks back up at me and nods.
“Okay. Let’s go on a date.”
“Let’s go on a date.”
She tips her head back as I tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. Our lips brush together before I kiss her again.
Right there, in the place where we first fell apart, we came back together.
PART 4: UP IN FLAMES
CHAPTER 66
KAI
There’sa ton of shit I’ve forgotten about when it comes to relationships, and with my twisted luck, taking a girl out on a date is one of them.
“Let’s go on a date?”I pace back and forth across the apartment floor, raking my hands through my hair. “What the fuck was Ithinking?”
Rowan sighs as he goes through his study cards. “Kai, calm down.”
