NADINEHours later, after watching the 3-hour movie Sara forced me down to watch, which I couldn't deny I enjoyed. Well up until Kai reared his face. I had averted my gaze rather clumsily when our eyes locked on each other. His eyes had weighed me down and a tirade of thoughts had overlapped one another in just that moment.I didn't even think before finding solace in the movie I had been watching. I wasn't even concentrating on the movie but instead on the exchange of pleasantries between Sara and Kai and then when he greeted me, my heart stopped for a split second. I had thought he would ignore me and I would undoubtedly do the same.On the one hand, replying to his greeting would give him ideas and make me look somewhat accessible and on the other hand, I clearly was brain dead as a rock after locking eyes with him, stuttering was the last thing I would ever want to happen to me when I was in the same space with Kai.As I lay in bed that night, tossing and turning mindlessly, I ke

NADINEI didn't notice I had been watching Sara change in and out of outfits for the past thirty minutes until Sara had checked her phone and screamed that we were running late.It was the day for sightseeing at the tourist centre Sara had gotten us tickets for. I had contemplated on what to wear and settled on black pegged pants and a plain mauve T-Shirt - which was part of what I had gotten at the store - before Sara had pulled me into her room to help her dress up.As we went on chattering and squeaking like teenagers, I couldn't help but notice how colourful Sara's room was, and when I meant colourful, I meant colourfully pink. From the bedspread and covers down to the seat cover of the chairs in front of her vanity mirror to the floor mat which shone pinkly on the ground, daring you to roam on it unless you are a princess. It was something out of a Barbie world. I looked at my outfit and chuckled. Way to go, Ken.Sara was haplessly rummaging through her wardrobe."I really do no

SARAI couldn't keep back my smile as I made my way back to the car. My plan had worked!I kept getting the thoughts of Nadine confronting me later but I shrugged it off to enjoy the moment. I had texted Kai we were on our way to the castle before leaving the house. He had left home, as usual, giving the notion he was going to work but he had been around the Castle all day.I feared Nadine would see right through me when I told her I forgot the camera that never left home. It just had to be perfect.As I opened the car door and eased my way in beside Adam, I let out a yippee and a heavy sigh escaped through my mouth. Kai had seen me at the entrance and I couldn't be more glad he complied with the plan. I caught a glimpse of them together before I went to the car.I couldn't help but grin seeing Nadine scowling and Kai smirking at her. I was a hopeless romantic. Despite knowing Nadine's primary presence in Eden City is to save us all from perishing, I could ask for a better mate for my

NADINEThe kiss robbed me of my breath. One minute, I was admiring the view that was absolutely magical, and the next, I was being pulled into a strong pair of hands and body and my mouth was being devoured in a searing and most intense kiss that I've ever known. If I had thought that our first kiss was intense, then this was definitely putting it to shame. His mouth was fervent on mine, hungry, needy, and demanding and forcing mine into submission and compliance. His kiss incinerated everything and the only thing I was aware of was the fact that I was being kissed by this man like I was the source of air that he had been deprived of for so long. God! This man definitely know how to use his lips as he backed me against a wall, his tongue exploring and plunging deeper and deeper with his lips and teeth pulling and scratching and making me experience the kind of pleasure that I never knew was possible. Only from a kiss! I fleeting wondered just how pleasured he could make me feel

KAIThe drive back to the house was mentally draining for me. I kept on ruminating on the possible reasons a rogue could have shown on the grounds of the castle. The elders were right, Nadine had to be shown to the people of Eden if they were to truly believe they were safe.Nadine.She was pretty shaken when I drove her back to the house and dropped her off before heading back for the emergency meeting. She was silent the whole time during the flight and I could feel her dread.My hands gripped the wheel firmly as I thought of her having to witness such a gruesome event when I was right with her. I was sure she had seen the mauled bodies before we got to the car. Just when I thought we were getting somewhere, a miserable rogue had to pop up. I didn't realise I had been gritting my teeth till I parked the car at the garage.I relaxed and took out some deep breaths before heading into the house.I picked up Mama Teresa's and Sara's scents as I made my way towards the living room and th
