Masuk"you're a whore Wren Sinclair" I groaned into my pillow.
I definitely regretted yesterday and as the perfect innocent girl I was, I would pretend like it never happened. On autopilot, I zombied my way into the bathroom. Turning the shower on, I replayed last night's conversation. "You're telling me to kiss you, all tongue and spit, finger you, and by that I mean my finger's gonna be in there, I'll probably have to eat you-" "You're a whore Wren Sinclair" I repeated weakly. All of a sudden the bathing liquid seemed like it needed me to caress it around my breast. I moaned quietly fondling my peaked nipples. "-My finger's gonna be in there-" my fingers trailed their way to my pussy, touching myself. It didn't feel good, it never did. I never understood why girls touched themselves for pleasure. It was like I wasn't made with a pleasure switch there. "-I'll probably have to eat you-" "Jesus Wren! Get your head out of the gutter" I cautioned myself. I had decided to forget about last night but his words kept replaying in my head. Kai Anderson had always had an unfiltered mouth. And I was his safe space to let it all out. He'd say the dirtiest of things with a smirk on his face, and we'd laugh about the vivid descriptions of girls he'd been with. We were that comfortable with each other, we'd been best friends for 8 years since I and my dad moved right beside his house. To Kai, sex was a hubby and a duty. His words not mine. He'd made a drunk speech of being responsible for giving every Lady a one in a lifetime sexual experience and to enjoy himself while at it. Apparently I wasn't worthy of that one in a lifetime experience and the faster I scrapped the idea out of my head, the better. I rinsed off and stepped out of the cubicle. Staring at my warped reflexion on the fogged mirror, I laughed. "Fantasising about your best friend and touching yourself Sinclair?" Oh how the mighty has fallen. "Wren? You're gonna be late honey" my dad called from outside my room door. "Shit. Almost done daddy". Daddy seemed to be in a good mood today. I breezed through the rest of my routine, picking out a light pink hoodie and tennis skirt as my outfit. Pairing it with my white high top converse, I dashed out of the room and straight to my dad made breakfast. "Good morning Honey, I gotta run, the final hearing for the Clarke's case is today, wish me luck" daddy said giving me a kiss on the forehead. "You're gonna crush it! I expect a win Attorney" I smiled warmly. "Yes ma'am. Bye honey". He said leaving the kitchen island. "Kai's here" I heard him call before locking the door on his way out. "Okay, bye daddy" Kai always drove me to school since he got his car last year. "How's my lil whore feeling today? Am I safe to approach?" Kai teased staring at me from the door. I flipped him off and continued picking at my food. "Ahhhh that's my lil birdie, always a Lady" he ruffled my hair. grabbing an island stool, he picked a French Fry and stuck into his mouth. "Before you ask, yeah I do regret last night and I wish we would never speak of it again" I announced staring at my plate. He laughed lightly. "Oh really, so you don't want me fucking you again lil birdie?" "And I was actually considering your request" My head snapped to his amused face. I wouldn't fall for his tricks, not today Kai Anderson. "Like you said, I was just horny and that's all over now, so nope, don't want you, not now, not ever" I plastered a fake smile on my face. Kai looked at me, his famous mischievous glint dusting his Gray eyes. "Oh really? So I can innocently touch you without setting off alarms?" He asked teasing. Two can play this game Kai. "Alarms?" I scoffed "you think too much of yourself Kai" He turned my stool to face him, bringing us awfully close. "How about we test it lil birdie" He said, voice low placing his hands on my thighs. I sucked in deep breath, my heart beating loud in my ears. His hands slowly slid up as he continued staring at me. "Kai" I moaned out. This felt forbidden yet very good. "Yes my birdie, does that feel good?" He asked voice low, taunting, pleasuring. I nodded miserably, scared that if I tried to open my mouth, I'd moan loudly. "Want me to touch you there?" He asked, eyes darker. I nodded wanting him badly. "Use your words birdie" he smiled, his hands stilling just a breath away from were I needed it the most. "Fuck you Kai" I cried, sexually frustrated. " you still want to fuck me lil birdie" he smirked leaning close to my ear. " I guess my little Whore's still horny" he said sucking on my earlobe. A moan escaped from my mouth as I held on to his shoulders. I had never had that done to me before, it felt heavenly. "Do that again Kai. Please" I whimpered. "Fuck. Wren" Kai groaned. He sucked on my earlobe, lightly biting. "god. That feels good. Why the hell does that feel so good" I whispered. He ran his tongue down my neck and I leaned closer to him. Silently begging for more. He trailed kisses on my jaw, stoping at my lips. "You're a temptress Wren Sinclair" he groaned. "We'd be late for school, get your bag" he said, standing up abruptly. "What the hell Kai?" I grumbled. It was just about to get better. He ran his fingers through his hair. "What the hell Wren? Are we actually doing this? Getting hard and horny for each other? Do you really want me to kiss you? Why? What exactly is our relationship Wren" Kai didn't like being unsure about anything, especially emotions. This new sexual tension between him and his best friend must be fucking with his mind. "I'm sorry" I whispered, ashamed. "I'm sorry K" He looked at me, uncertainty etched on his face. "birdie, you're my best friend and I love you. I'm so fucking in love with you it's crazy, so I need to get this straight. Do you like me? Like feelings and shit?" "No K, you're my best friend. you're just the only guy I love right now so the lines get a little blurry recently" "So this is just some intense sex drive of a virgin girl and I just happen to be the closest one with a dick" He teased "You're a dick" I said punching his chest. "I'm about to ask a question that I should've asked a long time ago" he said holding my hands in his. "Yeah?" I asked unsure of where this was going. He took a few seconds to stare into my soul before smirking. "Do you touch yourself my lil birdie?" Ahhhh. I could not be any redder than I was. I tried wiggling my hands from his grip but he was far stronger than me. "No Kai Anderson, I do not touch myself" I said with every bit of self esteem I had. "Why?" He asked, surprised. "Do you use a vibrator?" "Jesus Kai! What are you? A questionnaire?" "Just answer the question birdie" He said still holding both my hands and my gaze. "Fuck. Fine. I don't own a vibrator Kai, not anymore. I don't get any pleasure from it and I stopped touching myself for the same reason. Can't feel shit down there Kai" "Oh my sweet sweet child" Kai cooed sarcastically. "I can't begin to tell you the pleasure you've been missing out on. Your body probably hates you. You should've given her some love yourself and she might not have gone on overdrive." "No shit Sherlock, I think you forgot the part were I said I've tried?" I rolled my eyes. "You probably just stuck your fingers in there and hoped for a miracle" Kai laughed. "There's a lot to teach you my lil birdie." "Teach me? What? How to finger myself?" I laughed awkwardly. "Yes birdie, I'll teach you everything you're missing out on and you wouldn't even need my dick in you, you'd be a satisfied woman." "I'm gonna turn you my lil birdie into my little whore" Kai said oddly satisfied.Wren’s POVIf feelings had a volume knob, mine got twisted all the way up and then snapped off somewhere around my ribs.I tried to act normal. I really did. I nodded when people talked, laughed when something vaguely sounded like a joke, even unwrapped one of Lucas’s chocolates like I hadn’t just walked back into the group holding Kai’s hand like it had always belonged there.Like it didn’t change everything.But my brain? My brain was a crowded room with too many voices.Kai’s voice, low and steady: Yeah.The way he said it. No hesitation. No shame. Just… truth.And Lucas—quiet now. Not defeated. Not gone. Just watching in that way that made me feel like I was standing under a spotlight I didn’t ask for.I glanced at him once.Big mistake.Because he was already looking at me.Not angry. Not even upset, really. Just… aware. Sharp in a way that made my chest tighten. Like he was recalculating, reshuffling, deciding his next move.And somehow, that made everything worse.Because this
Kai’s POVI knew exactly what Lucas was doing.That was the problem.If it had been random, careless, just him being his usual loud, attention-hungry self, I would’ve ignored it. Would’ve brushed it off like background noise. But it wasn’t random. It wasn’t careless. It was deliberate. Every move he made today had intention stitched into it, clean and precise, like he’d planned it down to the second.The ball.The touch.The note.The roses.The chocolates.Each one landed exactly where it was supposed to.And Wren noticed.That was the part that sat wrong in my chest.Not because she did anything wrong. She didn’t. She wasn’t encouraging him, not really. But she noticed. She reacted. She smiled. And Lucas… he fed off that. I could see it in the way his shoulders straightened just slightly every time her attention shifted toward him, like he was collecting wins in a game I hadn’t agreed to play.But now we were here anyway.Standing in the park just outside school, the air still damp
Lucas’ POVI’d been trying to blend in, laughing with the guys, tossing the ball around like I wasn’t thinking about anything serious. Like school wasn’t a chessboard and I wasn’t three moves behind what was happening between them. But of course, I noticed. I always notice.The subtle way Kai’s eyes followed her hand when she adjusted her sleeve. The small tilt of her head whenever he leaned in slightly. I caught the almost imperceptible shift in her posture—the little pauses, the little sighs, the way she let him occupy space around her. And it was driving me insane.Not that I wanted her. Not like that. At least… not that way. Wren was Wren. Dangerous, brilliant, chaotic, and completely not mine. But right now? I had to stake a claim. Had to remind everyone in the room that I was still part of the picture. That I still had a place in her orbit.And so I waited. Patiently. Or tried to.The ball flew toward me, careless, reckless. I caught it with one hand, spun it slowly, letting it
Kai’s POVI knew that name before I even saw the screen.Lucas.It didn’t matter that she hadn’t said it yet. I felt it. The shift. The way her body went just slightly tense under my hands. The way her breathing changed like something delicate had just been dropped into the middle of the room.And I hated how fast I noticed.Hated how fast I reacted.My hands stayed on her waist.I didn’t even think about moving them.Didn’t want to.She hesitated.Of course she did.Because now there was a choice sitting right there in her palm, glowing back at her.Me.Or him.Not fully. Not yet. But close enough to make my chest tighten.“I should… answer,” she said softly.Careful.Too careful.Like she was trying not to set something off.My jaw tightened before I could stop it.I didn’t like how that sounded.Didn’t like that she felt like she had to tread lightly with me.Still…“Yeah,” I said.Calm.Too calm.“Answer him.”Because I wasn’t going to be that guy.I wasn’t going to cage her.Even
Wren’s POVMy brain was short circuiting every five minutes.I was sitting cross-legged on my bed, textbook open in front of me, staring at the same paragraph for what had to be the fifteenth time.I hadn’t read a single word.Not one.Because all I could think about was—His hand in mine.His mouth on mine.The way he said you’re mine like it was the most obvious thing in the world.“God,” I groaned, dropping my head into my hands. “Get it together, Sinclair.”My phone buzzed beside me.I didn’t even hesitate this time.Kai.My stomach flipped before I even opened it.Kai:You alive?I rolled my eyes, but I was already smiling.Me:Barely. I’ve been trying to read the same page for 20 minutes.Three dots.Fast.Kai:Yeah? What’s it about?I glanced at the book like it might suddenly cooperate.Me:No idea.His response came immediately.Kai: Come over.My heart stuttered again.It was getting ridiculous at this point, I should definitely get checked.Me:Kai…The three dots danced on
Wren’s POVYou'd think that this morning would be celestially different, but it wasn't, no brighter skies, no heavenly orchestra singing or slapping me fir my crazy decisions, considering I had practically lost my mind in Kai’s room last night. Considering his hands had been on me, his mouth on me, his voice in my ear saying things that still made my stomach flip just thinking about them.And his mom.Oh my God.His mom.I dragged a pillow over my face and groaned into it, legs kicking against my bed like I could physically shake the memory out of my body.“Why am I like this?” I muttered into the fabric.Because I went to his house sex crazed, climbed onto his lap, and...I stopped the thought right there.Nope.We were not replaying that. Not at 8:12 in the morning when I still had to function like a normal human being.I rolled onto my back, staring at the ceiling.My phone buzzed beside me startling my little heart.Stupid. So stupid.I reached for it anyway.Kai.Of course it was
I was already out the door when Kai honked the horn of his car. He came out the side of the car and jogged up to me."How's my little birdie today?" He grabbed my bag and opened the car door for me.That was weirdly weird."Who are you and what did you do with my Kai?" I asked, suspiciously staring
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.
Wren’s POV“Whatever this is, I don’t want it. I don’t. I don’t—then why am I shaking?”---The sky was already inky when the doorbell rang. I didn’t move. Not even a flinch. I sat in the middle of my bed, legs folded, textbook open but ignored, chewing the inside of my cheek raw.I knew that sound
Wren’s POVThe street felt different the moment we turned the corner.Quieter. Lonelier.Like the world itself was holding its breath, waiting to see what we would say to each other after everything that had happened.Lucas walked beside me, his hands shoved into his jacket pockets, his shoulders s
