~RheaI stood in front of the full length mirror in my room, adjusting the hem of the short, silky black robe I’d chosen. It barely reached mid thigh, the lace trim teasing just enough skin to be dangerous. Underneath? A matching black lingerie set that made my breasts look incredible and my ass even better.I turned sideways, checking myself again.Too much?No. Just enough.I wanted Kai to lose his mind the second he walked through the door. I roamed the house like a lovesick idiot.First the living room. Then the kitchen. Then back to the living room. I fluffed the cushions. Straightened a painting that didn’t need straightening. Checked the clock on the wall for the tenth time.It wasn’t even late, but according to his timetable class should’ve ended hours ago. So where the hell was he?I caught my reflection in the glass of the big window and groaned.“Look at you,” I muttered to myself. “Big bad bodyguard, walking around the house half naked like a desperate housewife, waiting

~RheaI needed air. Or maybe just distance.I walked into the club I used to frequent before Kai turned my life upside down. The lights were low, the music heavy. I spotted her almost immediately.Jade Monroe.She was leaning against the bar in a tiny silver dress that left nothing to the imagination. The moment she saw me, her lips curved into that familiar, predatory smile.“Rhea Kane,” she purred, stepping closer. “Back so soon? I thought you’d ghosted me for good after last time.”I leaned against the bar beside her, ordering a tequila.“I need a favor,” I said, keeping my voice low. “I’m looking for someone.”Jade raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. She stepped even closer, her hand brushing my arm.“Still running from something?” she asked, voice silky. “Or someone?”We talked for a while, casual, flirty, the way we used to. She told me about her latest conquests, I gave her vague answers about my current situation. Every now and then her hand would graze my thigh, her breath war

~KaiI kept talking, desperate to buy even a few more seconds.“And did I mention I’ll throw in my dad’s yacht for a weekend? Fully staffed. You can throw the wildest party of your life.”The leader’s patience finally snapped. He raised a hand and said coldly, “Enough. Beat the shit out of him.”Four men rushed me at once.I managed to dodge the first punch and landed a solid right hook on one guy’s jaw, dropping him. I spun and kicked another in the stomach, sending him stumbling back. For a few seconds, adrenaline and pure rage kept me going, I grabbed a third guy’s arm, twisted it behind his back, and slammed him into a crate.But there were too many. They swarmed me.A heavy stick cracked across my back. Pain exploded through my spine. Another blow slammed into my ribs. I gasped, trying to block, but a third hit caught me on the side of the head.I fell to one knee. They didn’t stop.Sticks rained down on me, shoulders, back, legs, arms. I curled up, trying to protect my head, bu

~RheaOne week later.Kai was finally being discharged.I stood beside his hospital bed, watching the nurse help him into a clean shirt. He moved slowly.“Finally,” he said, wincing a little as he shrugged the shirt on. “I thought they were going to keep me here forever just to punish me with that terrible hospital Jell-O.”I crossed my arms, trying to look stern even as relief flooded through me. “You almost died, Kai. Try not to sound so smug about leaving.”He turned to me, eyes soft despite the pain, and reached out to pull me closer.“Can you blame me?” he murmured. “I get to go home with the most beautiful, dangerous, slightly terrifying woman in the world. Best discharge ever.”The nurse smiled as she handed him the discharge papers.“You two are adorable,” she said before leaving us alone.The moment the door closed, Kai wrapped his good arm around my waist and pulled me gently against him, careful of his injuries.“I missed you,” he whispered against my hair. “Even when you w

~KaiRhea punched my chest lightly, chuckling even as she swayed a little, clearly dizzy from the intensity. Her eyes were sparkling with that naughty, mischievous look I loved so much.“You’re such a menace,” she laughed breathlessly, still trying to catch her breath.Before I could reply, she grabbed my hand and dragged me toward the bedroom, her grip surprisingly strong despite how wobbly her legs looked. The second we crossed the threshold, she shoved me hard onto the bed.I landed on my back with a grin, watching as she climbed on top of me, straddling my hips. She leaned down and kissed me deeply, her tongue sliding against mine as she slowly sank back down onto my cock.We both moaned into the kiss as she started riding me, soft, deep, rolling movements of her hips that felt like pure heaven.“Fuck, Rhea…” I groaned, my hands sliding up her thighs to grip her ass.She smiled against my lips, riding me a little faster, her breasts brushing against my chest with every movement. I
