LOGINIt had been four days since I met with my half-brothers, and we had kicked off the preparations. I chatted with Albert about the Funeral preparations, while Stein did the physical jobs like going to the locations and setting everything up. I still spoke with Edward, but it was mostly about how we could get the company back on its feet. I still had some money in my account, but that wouldn't be enough to take us back to how things were before Leon's tax evasions were discovered. And I really didn't want to ask Stein for help, not that I was confident he could. We were, after all, suffering almost the same thing. Even though he still had his company running since he removed that from Jonas' company, I doubted he had much to spare. Stein was currently making dinner with Lukas, who constantly kept asking for the ingredients. From the sitting room, I could hear him talking and chuckling whenever Stein said or did something funny. I rubbed my index finger on my forehead and let out a si
His mouth moved over mine like he was relearning me. And as he kissed me, his hips moved again. He pulled almost all the way out before pushing back in, inch by inch, until he was seated inside me again.I gasped against his mouth, my hands fisting in his hair.“Fuck,” I breathed. “Stein, you feel—”“Good?” He pressed his forehead against mine.“Like you're taking me apart,” I confessed. “Like you're putting me back together differently.”He groaned as he increased his pace. He didn't thrust in fast; he was still gentle as he moved inside me like he had all the time in the world, and every second of this night was a gift he intended to unwrap slowly.His cock dragged against my walls, the angle just right, and I felt the pleasure coil low in my belly. It was like a slow burn instead of a wildfire, building by inches instead of all at once.“You're so tight,” he murmured against my throat. “So hot. I can feel you clenching around me.”“Stein,” I sobbed. “Please—”“Please what?” His hip
He pulled them down, and I watched as his cock sprang free. I'd seen it over ten times, but tonight it felt like the first time. It was almost as if I were seeing him for the first time, this man I'd married, this man who was looking at me like I was something precious.He settled over me again, and this time there was nothing between us. Skin against skin, heat against heat, his cock pressing against mine as his hips found a slow, grinding rhythm. The friction was maddening. It was just enough to make me want more, but never enough to satisfy.“Stein.” I gasped his name as I pulled him closer. “Fuck, Stein.”“I know.” He placed his forehead on mine. “I know. I can't—” He groaned, his hips stuttering. “You feel so good.”His hand came up, and he cupped my face, tilting it up to meet his eyes.“I love you,” he whispered. “I don't say it enough. I don't show it enough. But I love you, Kai. I love you so much, it scares me.”He kissed me, knowing I wouldn't say those words back at him. H
He seemed to understand. He stepped back just enough to work the buttons off his shirt, and I watched his fingers move. They trembled slightly as they worked the buttons until he had them all open. The shirt fell to the floor, and I reached out to touch him. I pressed my palm against his chest to feel his heart beating under my hand. It was racing, just like mine.“Are you nervous?” I chuckled, teasing him. “Terrified,” he corrected without knowing I was only joking. “I've never done this before. Never been this—” He shook his head. “I don't have the words.”I leaned in to whisper in his ear, “Then show me.” He did.He placed his hand on my waist and walked me backwards toward the bed until my knees hit the bed and I sank onto it. I propped myself up on my elbows as he reached for his belt. He hurriedly pushed the denim down his thighs and stood. I licked my lips as my dick twitched between my legs. “Come here.” I crooked my index finger at him.He climbed onto the bed immediately.
KAIWe talked about everything during dinner, but not the conversation we had earlier when I returned. It was as if we were tiptoeing around it. I still couldn't shake off the feelings I'd been getting from him each time he spoke about me leaving. But I didn't voice it.We had a wonderful dinner, and after he cleared the table, he brought out a bottle of wine.“What are we celebrating tonight?” I raised a brow as he poured wine into a glass cup and passed it over to me.“Do we need a reason to celebrate?” Smiling, he raised his cup and clinked with mine. “I just thought it would be awesome to share a wine with you today after everything we've been through.”I stared at the wine as if it were poison. “Did you drug this?”He rolled his eyes. “Come on, baby. You know I wouldn't stoop so low to do that. That aphrodisiac was your idea, don't forget. I went with the flow.”“You don't have to bring that up now.” I grimaced, thinking of the first time we spent together. He bloody tricked me i
STEIN I felt like ripping someone to shreds after listening to his damned call with Edward. And the person I really wanted to rip to fucking shreds was Edward. He was just lucky he didn't provide his location during the call. I paced the floors minutes after they disconnected. I'd put Lukas to bed earlier than normal because he was being a disturbance. He kept asking for Kai, and it was driving me the fuck crazy. I had to force him to bed, so I wouldn't do something unthinkable, like kicking him out of the house or throwing him out through the damned window.Kai wants to leave me. That was all I could think of as I paced the floor. Why? I'd given him everything: my love, my wealth, and my time. Aside from bankrupting him and getting rid of his father, everything I had done for him was for his good. What else does he fucking want from me???Why couldn't he stay??I didn't care that he had never loved me. I was confident that I would get him to say those words to me before the end
STEINThe night masked me as I watched him, hidden in a corner, my camera ready to take more pictures. He was just as cute as always, dressed in a custom-made suit, his hair slicked back, and his strides long and precise. I'd watched him get ready. The way the water cascaded down his naked back as
KAIHis mouth found mine, stealing the questions on the tip of my tongue. Stein's hands were in my hair and on my jaw. He cupped my face like he was afraid I'd disappear if he let go. I didn't care. I kissed him back, and my fingers twisted in his collar to pull him closer. The taste of him flooded
KAI“This is all, sir,” Edward said as he placed the files I asked for on my desk. “I also spoke with Mr Elliot Marshall, and he agreed to the meeting tonight. I booked a table for two at your favourite restaurant.”“Good.”I picked the first file from the pile. “And the Schmidt? Did you investigat
KAIThe rest of the week went by in a blur. By the time Friday knocked on my door, I was drained. I'd stayed awake two nights, thinking of the bloody truce marriage and how to get the fuck out of it. I wasn't like Dad, who thought we needed this. We don't. We have been surviving all these years wit
