Something about Kai being a virgin?

…had my fair share of virgins, but never two at once…

How is that even possible?

I don’t have time to turn that over in my head.

Kai leans his torso back as he drags the ice pick’s sharp point down my chest. Traces the contour of my breast. My nipples tighten as he circles first one, then the other, the ice pick snagging against my skin.

As if to soothe that pebbled flesh, he ducks forward and pulls each nipple into his mouth, sucking just once on each, hard enough to make me flinch, before letting them pop from his mouth.

Down, down slides the wickedly sharp ice pick.

The tip snags against the hem of my skirt.

“You used to beg me to play with you, Heavenly. Now that I’ve got the perfect toy, you’re trying to run away?”

His hand darts down, slipping that sharp sliver of metal between my legs. If he hadn’t had me in his grip, I’d have climbed over the back of the sofa to get away.

All it will take is a twist of his hand and he’d be fucking me with that spike.

I can’t even imagine how much that would hurt.

It might even be fatal.

And after that video I saw of Kai beating up his brother…and I’m not all that sure Kai could stop short of ending my life.

A hard, urgent ache spears into my core, my heart racing at the thought of how volatile this situation is. How unpredictable Kai always was…and still is.

I’m struggling not to squirm. Away from him. Closer to the pick. I don’t even fucking know anymore.

“You’re fucked in the head if you think your little pick scares me. And I’m not afraid of that thing in your hand, either.”

It’s as if he can read my mind. Anticipate my need.

He slides the metal rod left and right over my slit, creating friction that sends almost painful tingles into my clit and pussy.

“You’re shivering with fear.”

“I’m wet and freezing cold,” I mutter.

“Already?” He gives me an evil smile, applying an uncomfortable amount of pressure with the ice pick. “You are a fucking slut.”

I’d slap him if I could.

Open challenge has replaced the mischievous light in his eyes.

I had no issue with Kai ranting like a lunatic about how I’d been ‘cheating’ behind his back. Weirdly, I was kinda into that.

But this? I know where he’s headed, and I didn’t like it back when I first arrived at Agony Hollow College, and I sure as shit don’t like it now.

“Red.”

“What?” Kai says through a chuckle.

“It’s my safe word, asshole.”

He tilts his head. “Safe word?”
