LOGIN~KaiI waited on the rooftop, nerves twisting in my stomach like never before.The candles flickered softly, the vinyl played low jazz in the background, and the city lights stretched out below us. I had everything ready, the pasta which I’d actually managed not to burn this time, her favorite wine, and the gift.Then I heard the door open.I turned around… and my heart stopped.Rhea was walking toward me.She was wearing the dress I’d bought for her, a sleek, elegant midnight blue gown that hugged her body perfectly, with a tasteful slit up one leg and a neckline that showed just enough to make my mouth go dry. Her ash blonde hair was down in soft waves, and she looked… breathtaking. Strong, graceful, and so beautiful it almost hurt.I couldn’t stop staring.“You look… incredible,” I said, voice barely above a whisper. “Seriously, Rhea… you’re stunning.”She stopped a few feet away, arms crossed lightly, one eyebrow raised in that familiar way.“Stop looking so surprised,” she said
~KaiI stood outside her door like an idiot, heart hammering in my chest after pouring my guts out.The silence stretched for what felt like forever. Then the door opened.Rhea stood there, eyes red rimmed but jaw set, looking at me with a mixture of exhaustion and steel.“Use the door, Kai,” she said coldly.Her voice was flat. Final.No shouting. No tears. Just that quiet, cutting command that hit harder than any slap she could’ve given me.I stared at her, searching for any crack in her armor, anything that said she still felt something. But her face was closed off, the same professional mask she wore when we first met.“Rhea… please,” I whispered, stepping closer. “Don’t do this.”She didn’t move, didn’t yell. She just looked at me with those hazel eyes that once softened for me and repeated, “Use the door.”The words landed like a punch to the gut.I swallowed hard, throat tight. For the first time in a long time, I felt completely lost. No cocky comeback. No smooth line. Just th
~RheaIt’s been a week since I last spoke to Kai.He tried, multiple times. Texts, knocking on my door, even leaving food outside my room like some pathetic peace offering. I ignored every single one. I made it all futile. I had to.I sat on the edge of my bed in the house wing, staring at the wall, arms wrapped around my knees. The silence in the big estate felt heavier than usual.I was the fool.Believing I could have something real with that naughty, spoiled brat. How did I even let myself fall in love with him? He’s a walking red flag. Younger than me, promiscuous, always chasing the next thrill. He’s just… shit.I should’ve known better.After everything I’ve been through, the trauma, the training, the walls I built so high no one could climb them, I let him tear them down with his stupid smile and his filthy mouth. I let him make me scream his name, let him make me feel safe for a moment, let myself believe that maybe, just maybe, he saw me as more than a convenient fuck.And
~KaiThe next morning I took a long shower, trying to wash away the guilt and the mess from yesterday. When I stepped out of my room, the most unexpected smell hit me, something warm, savory, and actually good.Was Rhea… cooking?I walked into the kitchen, still in just my sweatpants, and stopped dead in the doorway.There she was.Rhea stood at the stove in a simple black nightgown that hugged her body softly, her ash blonde hair loose and slightly messy. She looked like a wife, domestic, beautiful, and dangerously tempting all at once. The sight made my chest tighten.I swallowed hard.“We need to talk,” I said quietly.She didn’t reply. She just kept stirring whatever was in the pan, her back to me.I stepped closer. “Rhea…”The moment I reached out and gently held her arm, she snapped.She spun around and slapped me hard across the face the sound sharp in the quiet kitchen.“Talk about what?” she hissed, eyes blazing with hurt and anger. “The fact that you were fucking another la
~KaiThe second morning I woke up alone in my huge bed, the sheets still smelling faintly of last night’s chaos. My body ached in the best way, back from the floor, hips from the kitchen counter, and a satisfied soreness that reminded me how wild the night had gotten.Rhea still wasn’t back. The house felt too quiet without her sarcastic comments or the threat of her dagger.I stretched, took a long shower, and got dressed for school again. This time I chose something even sharper, a fitted black shirt and dark jeans that made me look like I owned the world.As I headed downstairs, I checked my phone. No messages from Rhea. Just a couple from Trent hyping up the party from last night.I grabbed my keys and drove to campus.________________I spent the entire lecture avoiding Seraphima’s stares.Every time I felt her eyes on me, I looked down at my notes or pretended to be focused on the professor. But I could feel her gaze burning into the side of my head, that arrogant, challenging
~KaiI didn’t waste another second.My hand slid up her thigh, pushing the high slit of her red dress aside. My fingers found her lace panties already soaked. I shoved them to the side and plunged two fingers deep inside her without warning.She gasped sharply, her body jerking against me.“Fuck… Kai!” she moaned heavily as I started fingering her intensely, fast, deep, and rough. My fingers curled inside her, stroking that sensitive spot while my thumb rubbed firm circles on her swollen clit.I leaned down and kissed her neck, sucking hard enough to leave marks, then moved lower, tugging the front of her dress down to free her breasts. I latched onto one nipple, sucking it hard into my mouth while my fingers kept pumping relentlessly inside her.Her head fell back, her moans growing louder and more desperate.“Oh my god… Kai… fuck, don’t stop…”I remembered there was a secret passage from the terrace directly into the private kitchen, a shortcut I used to avoid walking through the
