Kai was gentle as he flipped her onto her back, maintaining eye contact as he began to undress her layer by layer until there was not an ounce of fabric to hide her beautiful body. Andholy shit, was it hard for Kai to maintain control of himself. Lying right in front of him was the holy grail. A goddess made of gold and starlight; a human made with nothing less than perfection.
“What?” Sonnet asked, her hands moving to cover her body, but Kai stopped her.
He leaned down and kissed her deeply and passionately. “You’re just so beautiful, baby.”
She blushed a deeper shade of red and held out her arms. Kai embraced her, focused on kissing her everywhere he could, and listening to her heartbeat. When he felt confident she was ready for him to continue, he did.
He didn’t want to admit it, but he was nervous. Touching Sonnet felt like touching something in a museum, but there was no holding back now. His hands and lips were on her breasts quickly, kneading into them like a cat rather than a cocky alpha, and sucking on her nipples until he was satisfied with the noises coming from her mouth.
Then, while still focused on her breasts, he slowly tucked his other hand between her legs, tracing random lines between her thighs until she was shivering.
“Kai,” she whined. “Don’t tease me.”
He smirked. “Never, baby.”
A lie.
Kai kept his fingers a breath from her heat, kneading into her thighs while continuing to tease her nipples. Her fingers were tugging at his hair, and her whines and moans were like music to his ears. The cocky part of him hoped and prayed the others could hear her from downstairs, and that her scent was as thick as a fog in each room so that none of them could escape the fact that Kai was up here with their mate and that he was the one to make her feel this good.
Kai knew exactly how to make sure they’d hear her, so he didn’t waste another second. He kept his eyes firmly on hers, watching her chest rise and fall, listening to the sound of her heartbeat drumming out the sound of his own. And then, she grabbed the bed sheets and moaned louder than she had as two of his fingers slipped comfortably inside of her warm core.
He paused the motion of his fingers and leaned up towards her, nibbling on her ear before kissing her gently. “Tell me to stop and I will.”
“Don’t you dare.”
Kai laughed and kissed her long and deep. He kept his forehead pressed against hers, his lips a breath away, as he slowly and deliberately thrust his fingers in and out. He kept the rhythm the same, slow, teasing motion as he focused on her pleading and pleasurable whines.
His control began to slip as Sonnet arched her hips, trying to force Kai to go deeper and quicker, and what could he do? Refuse her?
Never.
Kai kissed her neck with fervor as he quickened the pace of his fingers. When Sonnet’s voice reached a pleasing pitch, her hands held tightly to the bed sheet and his hair. He knew he had found the right rhythm to give her the bliss she deserved.
Giving a low, restrained growl, Kai kept with the same motion as Sonnet raised her hips even more. “That’s right, baby. Let the whole house hear you.”
And they fucking did.
Sonnet didn’t hold back her voice as the pleasure washed over her, reaching her climax. Kai couldn’t look away from her as she rode it out before collapsing into his arms, and all the horny dominance inside him immediately melted back into alpha mode.
He covered her up with the blankets, kissed her forehead, and held her close, whispering soft words of praise. Despite his kindness and affection, he couldn’t help but smirk as his phone erupted with jealous text messages on the bedside table.
Chapter 56
The sun was extra warm today, and the sky seemed a bit brighter, and for a moment Sonnet could pretend that three weeks ago her life hadn’t collapsed on top of her. Being with Scarlett helped, and she was so happy to spend her time with her best friend once again. Today, they went to one of their favorite cafes. Sonnet got a cinnamon roll and an iced cupcake latte with sprinkles. Scarlett stuck with her usual plain Jane iced americano and ham and cheese croissant.
“Take the picture already,” Sonnet laughed as Scarlett kept maneuvering the table.
Scarlett was big on keeping her social media and blog up to date on what she was doing and thinking.
“Done! There, it’s all yours.”
Sonnet rolled her eyes playfully. “Great, now my sprinkles are all sinking to the bottom.”
“Boo hoo. Now, you were telling me about a book.”
“Yeah, I think I want to write one. My dad talked to me about it, and I just haven’t been able to stop thinking about itever since. All these articles are about my mother. It just kills me.” Sonnet took a long sip of her coffee and sighed. “Do you think I could do it?”
“Oh, please. Sugar, you could do literallyanything. You need to stop being the only one who holds yourself back! I say write the damn book.”
