Chapter 27: Early Departure

Kai's POV

Getting a call from my Personal assistant

at four in the morning that she had forgotten to remind me of a meeting with a client — a security agency that wants their deep-rate files managed by Moreau Dynamics — is definitely not how I wanted to start this morning. Especially with my kitten still naked and tangled up in my arms.

I wanted to yell at her, but I couldn’t wake Ren, so I tried detaching myself from him while he snuggled closer, like we were playing a game of catch the mice. I finally pried him off me, took my phone, and exited the room. I put a quick call to Adrian, who was obviously not happy about it and requested I fire my PA for missing such an important meeting. I laughed only to spite him, knowing that I’ll probably do just that. This is her third strike in six months. Maybe she should go back to being a regular secretary. I hung up after telling him we’d meet downstairs and to get his driver.

Walking back to the room, thinking of how to tell Ren, I ended up showering first and then dressing up. The flight was going to be two hours, and I wasn’t sure how long we’d be gone. We’d have to check the systems, suggest upgrades and plans available with Moreau Dynamics, then discuss payment and sign the contract. But Reya would be staying back to take care of him.

I reached his side of the bed and sat close to his head, running my hand through his hair and gripping the base slightly, drawing a moan from him as he opened his eyes and snuggled closer.

“Baby, open your eyes for me. I gotta talk to you.”

He just groaned and looked up partially. “You look dressed. Going to work?”

“Well, that’s the thing. I’m going outside of Crestshaw. I have a client in another state. I just found out about it some minutes ago, baby.”

“You’ll be back what time today?”

I paused for a beat, the words heavier than I expected. “Baby… not today.”

That seemed to do it for him. He raised his head and his body to a sitting position so fast I had to steady him.

“What do you mean not today? Are you going to leave me here alone? My goodness, you’re going to actually come back, right? You’re not leaving me, right?”

His panicked voice broke my heart.

“No, baby. I’m not leaving you. I’m going with Adrian, but Reya and her husband are around to keep you company. I’ll be gone for about four days, and I promise to get you a gift. Please don’t cry, Ren. Your eyes are red.”

I pulled him into my arms, rubbing circles around his back to comfort him.

“Sweetie, please look at me.”

He does.

“How about you visit Ayesha or your old apartment with her? Maybe stay for two days. I know you guys would love to hang out.”

He looked up at me. “Really? Okay then, but don’t stay too long.”

I felt warm. Is this what it feels like to have someone wait for your return?

I reached for the envelope on the nightstand and pressed it into his hand, brushing a soft kiss against his temple. “Here’s my card, with the pin on the paper inside so you don’t forget. Spend it and be happy. Buy yourself something pretty… or something filthy. I don’t care, as long as it makes you smile.”

He just lunged himself into my arms, buried his face in my neck, and began sucking on it.

“Baby boy, what are you doing?”

He ignored me and kept going. My hands went to his naked butt as I massaged it and he moaned into my neck. Damn, that was going to bruise. I love this bold and possessive part of him.

Then he pulled away and smiled. “Something for you to think about. Come back home and give me countless orgasms, okay?”

I laughed softly, thumb stroking his cheek. “Your wish is my command, princess. See? I was right… you’re such a good little whore for me.”

And he blushed.

I got up and he followed, bringing the sheets to cover his body, and followed me downstairs. Adrian was already sitting there.

“When the hell did you get in, man?”

“When you were probably giving your husband a dose of morning cock.”

And Ren responded, “We didn’t get the chance to,” pouting.

Adrian laughed and took my fucking apple from my fridge and began eating.

“Let’s go, Adrian, before you empty my fridge of my apples.”

“Like you could say no to me,” he snickered.

I shook my head and Ren hugged me from behind.

“Come back to me, okay?”

“Yes, I will, baby. Now go rest. Reya will be here with breakfast.”

“Okay, Daddy. Safe travels.”

I leaned down to kiss him.

“Bye, baby.”
