Me: When is it going to be enough?
Kai: Do you really want to ask that question?
Me: Stop the semantics. I don’t have time for games.
Kai: You’ll make time for me and the copious number of games I intend to play with you.
Me: Fuck you.
I look up from my phone for a moment to take a breath, but my heart is unsteady. Rapid. Unlike my usual cool self, and it’s pissing me off.
Kai: I will … after you’ve screamed my name.
Me: Kiss my ass.
Kai: Come here, and I’ll lick it for you.
My jaw drops. What the f—
Me: You’re a perverted freak.
Kai: You don’t know half the things I’d do for you.
Wow. For someone so deranged, he sure has a lot of confidence. And sass, I’ll give him that.
Me: Why? You don’t know me.
Kai: No … but I want to. I want to know what you hide in that killer mind of yours.
I make an annoyed face, but at the same time, I still feel morbidly curious why he’d be so interested in me.
Kai: Tell me, kitty, what does it take to make you scream?
Me: Like I’d ever tell you.
Kai: You don’t have to. I’ll figure it out.
All the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
Me: I won’t let you get close enough to even try.
Kai: Oh, I won’t need to be close to give you all the goose bumps currently scattering across your body.
I look up and turn around, checking the room, the windows, even the door, but no one is in sight. How does he—
Kai: I don’t need to see you to know exactly how your mind works. How your body feels. How your flesh reacts to my words.
My pussy thumps without my approval, and I hate it. I hate how he’s managed to speak to both the unquenchable rage coiling and twisting around my heart and the unwieldy fire burning deep inside me, yearning to be released.
Kai: But don’t worry, kitty … I’ll give your soul all the surrender it craves soon.
Me: Remember that knife in your thigh? If you tell a single person about anything I’ve done during my time at this school, I will personally come and put a knife in your fucking balls too.
I turn off the phone before he can send me any more texts and arouse me any more than I already am. Fuck. Fuck him and those dirty fucking words, and fuck that arrogant asshole.
