"Sin, my beautiful Sin, you've got it all wrong. I swear." The pain and guilt on his face almost broke my heart. Almost. He pulled this shit with me before. I wouldn't fall for it again.

"No Kai. I know what I saw. Now, please let me shower." I waited for him to leave the bathroom to slump over under the tepid water. I washed the chunks from last night out of my hair and scrubbed the smudged makeup from my face.

What was I going to do about Kai? We needed to talk things through and sort out our co-parenting schedules and shit. But I had hoped I would seem a little more like a responsible parent and not like a party girl train wreck.

When I got out, I left the water running for Kai. We had a second bathroom and shower, but something told me he would be waiting for me in my room. He was an attentive caregiver; it must be the doctor in him.

I laughed when I walked into my room, towel wrapped around me. I was right. Kai was sitting at the foot of my bed, looking at his phone, waiting for me.

" I left the shower running for you," I said, getting his attention.

"Sinclair. Sit, please. Let me explain." Kai sat his phone down and slid over for me to join him. There was no way I could sit on my bed with him, in nothing but a towel. That would lead to so many terrible things.

"Shower, Kai. Then we can talk over coffee and breakfast." I sighed. I at least owed him this. He did rescue me last night. Eric had called me a fucking bitch. Had I been totally clear-headed, I'd have punched the asshole in the throat for calling me that.

"Fine. But make it lunch, it's almost noon."

I'm not sure what I was thinking letting Kai use my shower. At the time it just seemed easier, and my brain wasn't working quite right yet. I was still processing the events of my epic failure of a girl's night out. I started a group text between Mia, Tess, Danielle, and myself.

Me:Guys. What the fuck happened last night? And why the hell did you leave me alone with Kai?

Tess:Well, we aren't sure, but we think Kai took care of your ass last night.

Me: I can sense your sarcasm, Tess. Fuck off. For real though! I swear I only had two drinks.

Mia: Babes, we don't know what happened to make you so sick.

Danielle:Joel swears his brother didn't put anything in your drinks. He's been texting me for updates all morning.

Tess:Fuck him and his brother. That prick called Sin a bitch for throwing up on him. I would have kicked his ass if Sin wasn't about to pass out.

I wanted to laugh. I was one hundred percent certain Tess would have done just that if Kai hadn't come to my rescue.

Danielle:Umm that hottie with the tats made it clear that Eric got fucking lucky last night.

Me:What hottie with the tats?

Mia:Cal and Noah are here too, babes.

Cal and Noah came back down with Kai. But why?

Me:Why?

I didn't have time to read anyone's reply because Kai cleared his throat bringing my attention to the man in the doorway. Covered from the waist down by a dark green towel, beads of water still lingered on his bare chest.

Fucking hell, I think my vagina moaned at the sight. I needed out of my room. Now.

"I'm, uh, I'm going to go make lunch," I said clearing my own throat and looking anywhere but at Kai.

"Are we having a naked lunch today, because I'm so down for that." He laughed, stalking towards the bed.

I looked down and remembered that I chose to text my friends rather than get dressed. I was currently sitting on my bed, naked. Well, covered by a dark green towel, the mate to Kais. Fucking hell!

"Kai. I need to get dressed." I stood up and turned toward my dresser. My armor, in the form of lacy panties and bras, was safely locked in there. Not helpful at the moment, because the sexy dragon with blue eyes was standing between me and my salvation right now.

"Sin. My beautiful, smart, and very naked Sin. "Kai growled as he stalked towards me. He had a hungry look on his face. He was the predator, and I was the prey. "You owe me a conversation. You promised me you'd answer when I called. You broke your promise."

My voice decided to ditch me. Fucker. I couldn't speak. I wanted to, I wanted to say a lot right now, but all I could do was watch Kai as he came to me.
