After a few rounds of drinks, and a couple of orders of nachos, Tess, Danielle, and Millie were itching to dance. Danielle reached for my hand, pulling me off the sofa I sat on next to Kai. As she pulled me to her, she whispered into my ear. "I noticed you aren't drinking. You good?"

"I think my stomach is just having flashbacks from the other night.

That's all." I assured her.

"Okay. Let's go dance." She kissed my cheek and gave Kai the finger when he gave her a questioning stare. I couldn't help the laughter that came from me when I saw his smile. He liked Danielle, and something about that made me happy.

Tess dragged Mia along, who didn't want to leave Noah but had done so reluctantly. If any of us belonged together, it was Mia and Noah, the most levelheaded people in our entire group of friends.

Yes, Mia and I had our fair share of trouble as kids, and yes, I may have learned to drive because Noah got a little drunk at whatever party by the lake, or in the woods, and someone sober had to drive.

But when it came to making the hard choices, when it came to growing up, and doing the right thing, Mia and Noah were the all-stars of our group. Kai and I had too much emotional baggage. Even in our teens, we always tried to fill some hole in ourselves.

Tess was always trying to see how far she could push the boundaries. She lived for causing trouble, and Callum, the little brother I always wished I had. He was a mouthy smartass who was either getting in fights because of his mouth or getting grounded because of his mouth.

Since coming back into their lives, I never saw that side of Cal. I'm sure their lives have changed a lot in the past twelve years. Which further proved why I was bad for them. Did it though? I asked myself.

Was it really for the best if I ran away again?

We danced, and laughed, my three best friends and I, Millie too. I was beginning to like her. I hoped whatever toxic relationship she was running from; she could get it out of her life soon.

As we were dancing, the music stopped, and the DJ spoke on the mic. Something about a special request. I laughed and whispered into Tess's ear about feeling bad for the poor person who was about to be put on the spot with some cheesy ass song. We both laughed and waited for the DJ to cue the song.

When the first couple of cords of the song came on, I thought I recognized it. I turned to Tess, and she gave me a half smile. When strong hands came from behind to wrap around my waist, I knew Kai made the request. As Johnny Rzeznik's voice filtered through the dark dancefloor; The Goo-Goo Dolls' song Iris echoed against every surface in the club, Kai whispered in my ear. "I'd give it all up for you, my Sin.

I would give up everything. Just for you."

The second verse finished, and I let the tears fall. I loved this song growing up, but for some reason, the words held so much more meaning and more power tonight than they ever did before.

"Kai." I cried as I turned around and kissed him. We didn't stop kissing, there on the dancefloor, for everyone around us to see. I didn't care who saw it. I'd been broken for a long time, and no one understood me, no one but Kai. He had always seen me, always looked past everything is broken.

I fought myself this past month, fighting everything in me that wanted Kai, who needed to be seen, loved, and known. I was done fighting. I would find a way to make things work for us. I would bury my demons with my mother, and move on, for me, Kai, and our daughter.

"Take me home, Kai," I whispered against his lips.

"Gladly."

We walked off the dance floor, I looked at Cal and Millie and smiled. I hoped that they figured out what they wanted. It was obvious Cal had feelings for her, and it seemed like she truly cared for him, but I knew how much that baggage can weigh us down when we are faced with our emotions.

KaiandIleftthe rest of our group at the club and took an Uber back to my apartment. The Uber was a minivan, and we were the only occupants. Kai went to climb into the first row, and I dragged him to the very back. It was dark, the van was big, and we were alone. Sorta.

Once we were settled, I asked the driver if he minded driving around for a while. I promised a generous tip and a rave review if he did. He laughed, said he had no problem, and started a slow drive back into the city

"What are you up to my beautiful Sin?" Kai whispered to me in the dark. I smiled and kissed him, biting his bottom lip as I pulled away like he did to me earlier today.

"Shh," I told him as I kissed down his neck.

The Uber driver turned up the music he was playing. It was some current pop playlist. I smiled; this driver was getting a really nice tip tonight. I slowly undid Kai's pants and pulled his semi-hard dick out. It didn't take long for him to realize what I had planned or for his dick to stand at full attention.

I adjusted our seat belts to give myself the room I needed and bent down and flicked the head of his dick with my tongue.

"Fuck" Kia growled low and relaxed into his seat.

I smiled and kissed the tip so lightly, breathing a little air onto the sensitive head. It twitched in my hand, begging me for more. I circled the rim of his head with the tip of my tongue, ending at that sensitive area on the underside of his head. I cupped his balls with one hand and wrapped my other around the shaft of his dick while I continued to tease his head with my tongue.
