I didn’t even have to check the contact name.

Only one woman texted me like this.

> Wren sweetheart. I think something’s up with Kai. He’s been broody and stomping around like a bear. Would you mind hanging out with him for a bit? Maybe cheer him up?

A second message buzzed through before I could even reply.

> He’s pretending he’s fine but I know that child’s moods like the back of my hand. Go over if you can. We're meeting a client out of town. He’s in his room sulking as we speak.

I stared at the message, fingers curling around my phone as my stomach did this stupid fluttery thing.

I wasn’t supposed to care.

Still, I grabbed my bag.

I stepped into Kai’s room without knocking, like I always used to.

It was dim, the curtains only half-open, and Kai was lying on his bed, arms folded behind his head, staring up at the ceiling like it had answers.

I didn’t even bother with a greeting. “You’ve been sulking all day.”

His eyes flicked to me, then away again. “Hello to you too.”

  • Teach Me How To Burn    Chapter 16_ you're the star

    After I had successfully disgraced my country and Beyonce I flopped onto his living room couch and moaned dramatically."My insides are dying.""They’re not." He grabbed the remote and tossed it at me. "But your singing voice might."I lifted my head just in time to see him scroll to a karaoke app on the smart TV. My heart did a tiny flip.“No way.”“Oh, yes way.”“Kai, you said dancing”“Too late. You owe me. You threw up in my car, almost in my cup holder. Dancing ridiculously is not gonna cut it. You’re singing.”“Not fair!” I groaned, pulling the throw blanket up to my chin like it could shield me from humiliation. “I was intoxicated!”“And you still are. With syrup and shame,” he said with a smirk, stepping onto the rug like a rock star. “Now, pick your poison. Beyoncé or Backstreet Boys?”I wheezed. “Do I look like I have the vocal range for Beyoncé?”“Fine,” he shrugged. “Backstreet it is.”A beat dropped through the speakers, and before I could run or throw myself out the wind

  • Teach Me How To Burn    Chapter 15_ like it never happened

    I woke up to the faint smell of something warm. something like vanilla and… was that syrup?I blinked against the sunlight streaming through oddly familiar curtains, my head pounding softly behind my eyes. For a moment, nothing made sense. Then I registered the soft cotton brushing against my thighs… and realized I wasn’t in my denim skirtanymore.Oh. My. God.I sat up so fast my vision spun.The dress was gone. In its place, I was wearing a thin, almost see-through white sweater that fell halfway down my thighs. No bra. No pants. Just… me and shame and Kai’s soft gray sheets.My stomach flipped. Not from nausea but from sheer mortification.I scrambled to the edge of the bed and peeked around.This was definitely Kai’s room. The plain dark grey walls was enough evidence, the signed football, the shelf, that shelf that filled my dirty thoughts.Why couldn’t I remember how I got here?Then it hit me, yesterday at the pary, the taste of tequila, the fight, Lucas and the godawful moment

  • Teach Me How To Burn    Chapter 14_ freaking fuck!

    My heart slammed against my ribs.“Kai…” I breathed, though I didn’t even know what I was trying to say. A warning? A plea?His hand moved again, down, down, sliding past my hip to the top of my thigh. This time, he didn’t stop.His fingers brushed the hem of my skirt and slipped beneath it, inch by inch, until his knuckles grazed the soft curve of my inner thigh.I couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe. I was anchored to that wall, my leg still hooked around his hip, his forehead pressed against mine, his mouth barely not touching mine.“I just need to know,” he whispered. “If I touch you here…”His hand slid higher.“Will you still pretend it’s not real?”A whimper escaped my lips. I trembled, hips twitching toward his touch without meaning to. My underwear was soaked. The heat between my legs pulsed—desperate, clenching around nothing.And then...“freaking fuck!"Kai froze.My eyes flew open.Lucas stood at the patio entrance, unsteady on his feet, holding a red solo cup and looking way

  • Teach Me How To Burn    Chapter 13_ fun game huh

    What do you do when someone dares you to sit on your best friend’s lap… after you just slapped for insinuating you're a whore?You drink.I tipped the shot glass back without a word, the bitter liquid burning down my throat and settling like fire in my stomach. I didn’t look at Kai, wouldn’t dare. But I felt his stare, heavy and unreadable. He didn’t smirk. He didn’t tease. He just watched me drink him away.The game moved on. Laughter. Music. More dares.My legs bounced as I tried not to fidget. My cheeks were still flushed from the liquor, or maybe from the tension. I wasn’t even sure anymore.Then someone, God, I didn’t even catch who, maybe Camron, turned toward Kai.“Dare or dare, Anderson?”He leaned back lazily, arms spread across the couch like he owned the room. “Dare.”A few heads huddled together, giggling, before one of them blurted out, “Let Brianna make out with you. Right here. Tongue and everything.”Brianna was already halfway across the room before he could answer.

  • Teach Me How To Burn    Chapter 12_I dare you

    What would you do when you dry humped your best friend into your first climax a couple days ago and he hasn’t stopped looking at you like he’d bang you right there while the teacher’s discussing algebraic equations?You unwillingly go to a party with your childhood hot friend who gives you weird signals so you don’t combust.That’s what you do.Lucas’s hand was warm where it skimmed the small of my back as we walked into someone’s overly lit house. It’s loud, crowded, full of seniors I barely talk to outside class, and smelled like booze and too much cologne. I paused in the hallway, doubting everything.He leaned in shouting over the loudspeakers. “No take-backs, Sinclair.”“I didn’t say anything.” I grimaced, regretting my decision for the upteenth time.“But you look like you wanted to bolt.”I narrowed my eyes. “I always look like I want to bolt.”He grinned and handed me a red cup containing God knows what “Two sips. That’s all I ask.”"Nahh, I'll pass" I chuckle awkwardly hold

    I should’ve climbed off him.I should’ve moved. run. done something other than what I did.But instead, I shifted my hips. Just a little. Just enough to feel him harder beneath me.His head dropped back into the pillows like he’d been punched. “Wren…” It came out broken. A warning and a plea.I knew what I was doing. I knew.But my body was greedy. Starved. Curious. I rolled my hips again, slow, testing, like we weren’t both fully clothed and playing a few minutes ago.His fingers clamped down on my hips, stopping me, nails digging in through the fabric. “You want to play dangerous now, really?”I bit my lip. “You started it.”“Oh, lil birdie,” he growled, eyes dark and feral. “You climbed on top of me.”I rocked again. His hips bucked up in reflex, dragging a shocked moan from both of us.“Kai”“Don’t,” he said through gritted teeth. “Don’t say my name like that unless you’re ready to lose your goddamn mind.”I didn’t stop. Couldn’t. His thigh muscles were tight beneath me, his grip
