I clawed at Kai’s back, bringing his body closer to mine. I wanted him to feel my pleasure, my pussy pulsing around his cock. But he kept going, that coy smile playing on his lips.

“Oh, baby, we aren’t done till I say we are,” he said, leaning toward my ear. “I’m gonna make this wet, tight pussy cum over and over again till you can’t contain those sexy moans of yours. And once you are there, I’m going to fuck you so slow. Don’t worry though. By then, you will be so drenched in pleasure you will cum with just a flick of my finger against your clit.”

Chapter 32

Kai

Audry was nestled into my side, her soft breath stretching across my naked chest. Something had changed between us. There was no denying it anymore. Her guard had completely fallen away, and I wanted nothing more than to explore this newher.But I didn’t want to push it harder than I already had. There was still healing to be done and memories to forget.

She traced her fingers around my tattoos. I watched her closely, her eyebrows furrowing as she took in each one. My canvas was laid before her, a story of my life etched in ink. Each one had a story—held a memory.

“What’s this one for?” she said, pointing to a pair of dice.

I rolled my lips into my mouth, stopping the chuckle.

“Lucky snake eyes,” I said. “Logan and I took a little trip to Vegas when we were sixteen. The artist was this small girl who jabbed that needle like her life depended on it.” Back then, it was a simpler time. We thought everything was so complicated that every small hiccup was the end of the world. Now look at us. The Red Widows had turned their back on us, but we weren’t out. We were in purgatory, exiled, and suffering. If only I knew then.

She continued tracing the tattoos, moving in odd directions toward whichever one caught her attention. “What about thisone?” she asked, following the line work of three small animal silhouettes.

“My mom.” I pointed to the tiger. “My dad.” I swallowed down the grief that refused to leave me as I pointed to the bear. “And my brother.” The owl stung the most when I got it. I had expected nothing less.

Audry glanced up, confused. I never spoke about my family, and it wasn’t like she had the time to ask. I wasn’t the most forthcoming about myself…just add it to the pile of secrets.

“My mom passed when I was younger, cancer.” I nodded. “My father not long after that. And my brother…well…he passed before I was born. But the space he took up in that house was massive.” I smiled lightly, but it was hollow and devoid of any actual happiness.

She moved her warm palm toward the one on my side. “And this one?” she asked, covering Angel’s name.

I cleared my throat, shifting underneath her. My muscles tightened against her touch, and the warmth now felt like fire trying to burn any defense I put up.

“You don’t need to tell me,” she whispered, tugging her hand away.

“But I do,” I muttered. I had too many secrets from her. If I had any chance in hell for this to work, I had to open up. I had to let her see me—the good and the bad.

“Angel was a friend of ours in high school…all of us.” My voice shook as I tried to relay the information the best I could. Angel was a topic we hadn’t broached in detail in years. Mentioning her name was enough to cut into our hearts and shred whatever had healed. “Carson’s best friend, actually. And well, because of my parents passing, I grew up in a lot of different homes. One of those was with Angel.”

I ran as hard as I could down the block, tucking myself into the nearby park. My fifth placement this year was amonumental fuck up. I curled my hands into a fist, my back hard against the bark of an old oak.

“And who might you be?” The small girl shocked me when she flipped upside down, her knees strung over a low branch.

“Excuse me?” I leaned back.

“You are Marges new case, huh?” she asked. “Don’t worry, she doesn’t keep any placement for longer than five months.”

“And you know this because?”

“Because I’m almost at my five months. The light’s at the end of the tunnel!” She swung back up before hopping down from the tree. “I’m Angel.” She thrust her hand out toward me.

“Kai.” I shook her hand.

I dismissed the memory from my mind. I didn’t like to think of her that young, not anymore. Her image was usually conjured with blood soaking her clothes and turning her light blonde hair red. I wish I could go back in time and shield her from everything she would end up facing.

I licked my lips, not wanting to see Audry’s expression. It would only break me more. “Angel was this annoying little sister I never asked for but never wanted to be without. Between her and Carson, my hands were full. All of ours were. If you thought Logan, Liam, and I were wild, you should have seen the girls.” I could almost hear the sound of their laughter as we lounged at the beach after school.

“I can’t believe none of you will get in!” Angel shouted.

“Saltwater dries my skin,” Logan touted.

Angel looked at me with a puppy dog face, Carson and Maddie next to her.
