“That’s right,” he whispers into my skin, and how is it tat I can hear him at the same time as the world whites out? “All mine.”

The warmth ripples through my body, the sharp peak of it finally ebbing, and his fingers ease from me. He laughs, a short bark of sound and I look down. His hand is soaked wet, and he smirks at me.

“Nobody ever made you come so hard like that, did they?” He asks, and my cheeks burn. He adjusts my panties over my wet, swollen skin and pats it. I squirm, the sensation too much.

“You don’t tell Kai what I did to you,” he says, ghosting his fingers over my lower lip, the bruised skin swollen from kisses. “I want to be the one to tell him that I fucked you so hard you nearly passed out in my limo. I want him to know that your best orgasms are mine.” His eyes flicker with amusement and I swallow, and shift away.

He really is… a monster.

Olivia

I stareup at his door, feeling uncertain. Last night is still raw on my skin like a bruise. I lift my hands and knock and then immediately regret it but I have to see him. I feel like he's going to smell Everett on my skin. But I need to bury myself against him, and cry out the after effects of last night. I don't remember what happened. My last memory is Vince laying me down on my bed, and I woke up this morning covered up, still in my dress from the night before. It's not like Vince left me a note. There's no answer and I turn away just as the door opens.

"Liv, hey," Kai says, sounding surprised.

Behind him, there's a shriek of joy. And I turned to look. He gives me a sheepish smile. He's just in a simple white t-shirt and jeans, bare feet. But he looks happy to see me.

"The noise is coming from two kids," he grinds again. "I have company," he says, "Do you want to come in?"

"Yeah, sure," I say and he gestures.

I followed him into the apartment and I got a better look at the two children who are chasing each other around. Girl, older and a boy younger, both under the age of 10. They've got glossy chestnut hair and when the girl looks over at me, and the boy stops running to stare, two identical sets of green eyes glow with excitement.

"Who's that?" says the boy, blurting it out like kids do.

"Uncle Kai," the girl asks uncertain. She puts her hands behind her back, and swings back, swings from side to side. Kai claps a hand on my shoulder, as he shuts the door.

"This is Olivia and she lives in the tower with us." The girl's eyes widened.

"Is she a princess?" she asks.

Kai laughs, glances at me.

I shake my head, "Hardly, but I know how to throw a good tea party."

The girl lights up and then the pleading starts.

"A tea party, that's the only thing that we'll do now," and even the boy is getting in on it.

Although he keeps asking what kind of cookies we'll serve and I think it has something more to do with chocolate than having a tea party.

"This is Rose," Kai says, as they follow us into the kitchen and he reaches the cupboards.

Someone's obviously done his shopping for him too because they're filled to the bursting with food that I know he didn't pick out for himself. Just one of the perks of living in the tower, I guess. I explore the fridge.

"And this is Turner," Kai motions to the boy who pops up beside me, staring into the fridge from under my arm.

"Are there cookies in here?" he asks.

I laugh, "Probably not, the cupboards would be more likely." Turner, wrinkles his nose.

"Mommy keeps her cookies in the fridge," he says.

And when I look at Kai, he mouths, "Pot edibles," at me, make sense. I'm not allowed to eat those though.

"And where's your mommy?" I asked him, glancing there Kai.
