Hello, lovelies. This chapter was longer than what I usually write. I hope it makes up for my absence. [even just a little bit] A lot of things have been going on in my life lately, and it is affecting my creativity. I can't promise a daily update right now, but I will try and update on a weekly basis. Ily and thank you for staying with Kai and Benny. xx
~Benny~ Surprise crossed Kai’s face. His gray eyes, dark and dilated, narrowed to slits as he peered down at me. “Are you messing with me, Princess?” he growled. His voice was raw with arousal, and his cock jerked in my hands. I glanced down at it, fascinated by its beauty. My fingers could hardly wrap around its girth. All eight inches of meaty and veiny length. I know my body would stretch once we do the deed, but would it hurt? I shivered at the thought. My insides throbbed from the memories of his fingers moving in and out of me. It was so good. He was so good to me, and I wanted to do the same. “I don’t know what you mean. You have to tell me what you want.” I looked up at him innocently, smirked, and moved to take him into my mouth again. Kai groaned, fisted my hair, and kept me from doing so. “Ah!” His eyes were so dark they were almost black. “Don’t play games with me. You know what I want.” My eyes watered. If only he knew I was only doing a scene I read in a romance n
~Kai~ The words were on the tip of my tongue. This thing between Benny and me was anything but ‘all fun’ for me. My words obviously affected her. I better choose my words wisely around her from now on. She could lie, but her eyes showed a mixture of surprise and pain. But before I could set the record straight, my phone vibrated on the counter. Like a child caught with one hand inside the cookie jar, my heart leaped in my throat. If Klaus had called yesterday, I would pick up the phone in a heartbeat. Benny glanced at me with furrowed brows when I let the call move to voicemail. Klaus would want me to call him ASAP. I know the drill. “Is that okay with him?” Benny asked. “What?” I tossed the potatoes in the bowl, making sure I seasoned them well. Benny removed her mittens, leaned on the counter, and sipped her coffee. “You ignored his call and let it go to voicemail,” she said over her cup. Satisfied that all the potato wedges were evenly seasoned, I set aside the bowl. I n
~Benny~Through the glass panel in the kitchen, I watched Kai speak with Klaus over the phone. He had his back on me. His shoulders were relaxed, but from how he was heaving deep breaths now and then, something was going down.I hope Klaus doesn’t order Kai to take me where he is. I’ve considered Kai’s words while I put the potato wedges in the oven. Giving him a chance had been the best plot twist of my story, yet I’m hesitant to do the same with Klaus and Markus Martinelli. They’re blood, and they kept me safe from Dominguez. I finished my coffee and washed the cup in the sink, blowing a sharp breath.‘Easier said than done.’ It took a life-and-death situation for me to let Kai in.I was setting the table for breakfast when Kai walked in. The salty breeze accompanied him as he opened the back door.My heart lodged in my throat, and I looked at him to assess what the call was about.He smiled. “What’s with the face?”I should have been relieved that he was joking, but he was a man w
~Benny~I have little clothes to choose from, so I settled for white denim shorts, a gray vintage shirt I bought from the wharf, and my ever reliable sneakers. Since Kai said it would be an afternoon stroll, I tied my hair in a high ponytail and put light makeup on.I stared at myself in the mirror. This look is not something I would wear on a first date.My forehead creased. ‘Is this a date?’‘Should I ask Kai if this is a date or if he’s just being nice to me?’Grabbing the plaid long-sleeve shirt from the bed, I walked out of the room. Whether this was a date or not, I didn’t want to be that girl who takes forever to get ready.‘We’re cool,’ I thought as I rounded the corner to the living room. But my breath snagged when I saw Kai leaning on the open door. He was scrolling through his phone and holding a bouquet of roses. My footsteps were light, which gave me time to study him. He was sporting a dark rose-printed shirt, the first three buttons undone, tucked into washed-off jean
~Benny~I practically salivate watching Kai prepare a charcuterie board of cured meat, cheese, fruits, nuts, and small slices of bread with peanut butter and jelly on the side.“You’re good at this,” I said, hugging my knees closer to my chest because, at that moment, I believed my heart would leap out of my chest and do a happy dance around the picnic blanket.No one has ever done something like this for me before. He wanted to do something special for me, and he nailed it and more.He lifted his gaze towards me, a satisfied smirk on his lips. Honestly, I hadn’t stopped grinning either; my cheeks were already hurting.“I should thank my best buddy Google then,” he murmured, standing up.The picnic blanket was laid under a huge tree. There was a pile of firewood and a huge camping bag resting on the base of the trunk. Before the temperature plummeted, Kai already had a fire going and set lamps around the picnic blanket.Everything about this afternoon was so perfect I didn’t want it t
~Kai~I meant what I said, but I packed a tent just in case things went my way. I didn’t want to seem too eager, but a guy could hope, right?Four solar lamps hang on the oak tree, casting pale yellow light on my task. I’ve assembled hundreds of tents in my lifetime, but this one is proving to be a testament to my abilities. My hands fumbled with the rods. I feared I might have ripped the material at some point, but I nonetheless secured the tent.Benny sat crossed legs on the picnic blanket, hugging a pillow. The fire still burned. The orange glow illuminates the storm of emotions in her eyes.Pausing at the edge of the blanket, I offered her a hand.She stared at it, bit her lip, and a moment of hesitation crossed her face. She held all the reins tonight. It would suck if she changed her mind and chose to go home. I’d nurse the worst kind of blue balls in the history of mankind, but I’d do as she asked. She blinked it away and placed her hands in mine.She had already cleared out th
~Benny~ He stared down at me, midnight eyes wide as a saucer. What I said put us both in a trance; I wanted to slap myself in the forehead. I released him. Kai gripped my wrist and lifted both above my head, one above the other. His fingers cuffed them in place. He clutched my throat, raising gooseflesh of fear all over my skin, but loose enough so I could breathe. It was a power move. He’s in control. He isn’t holding back. Fear, excitement, and lust swirled in the pit of my belly, kickstarting another torrent of need in my center. “What did you just call me?” Dark eyes pinned me with a primal need. This… this is the Kai I’ve been looking for all night. Keeping a straight face, I repeated. “Daddy.” It came out of nowhere. Well, that’s a total lie. I had been fantasizing about this since yesterday. It was everything I dreamed of and more. Kai chuckled darkly, fisting his cock. “Again, my good little girl,” he growled. Flames of desire lapped my entire body, feeling the bulbou
~Benny~ Catching himself, Kai pulled out of me in a swift and efficient motion, rolling onto the side. I grimaced, my center gaping at his absence, already missing the feel of him. ‘You’re mine,’ he said. What did he mean by that? Is it his claim on me or a claim on my first time? Like a trophy, a prize? I heard of men collecting women’s virginity, listing them down like it was a game. As though deflowering women gave them bragging rights, a boost to their ego. The desire and electricity between us occupied my attention, and I hadn’t considered the aftermath. Discarding the condom, he sat up and stepped out of the tent in all his naked glory. We left the tent entry open, the slow fire crackled outside. His actions felt too distant, colder than the wind coming from the ocean. Where was the attentive and caring guy from before? Vulnerability enveloped me. I reached for my shirt and sat up, tugging it on. I raked my hair and took a few calming breaths. My heart hammered in m
