“Great. See you then.” Nico strode across the space to me. He placed one hand on the back of the sofa and leaned in, placing a gentle, reverent kiss on my forehead. “Good night, sweetheart,” he told me softly.
“Night, Nico,” I replied, wishing he’d lean right back in and kiss my lips instead. I wondered what his kiss would be like. Forceful and firm, I imagined, and that sent a thrill running through me. I wanted to know what it felt like to be lost in his kiss as he surrounded me with all of his sheer strength and size. Nico, being as tall and built as he was, made me feel something I never had before – delicate and small. I liked that feeling and I knew it was only going to get better the closer we got.
“Do you want to go to bed?” Kai asked.
“Not yet, if it’s okay? I’m comfortable here,” I sighed as I snuggled back into his side and breathed in the scent of his spicy aftershave. He tightened his arms around me, making the tingle, that Nico had sparked in me, become more insistent with his innocent touches.
“I don’t want to be anywhere else,” Kai agreed happily. The credits were running on the movie we had watched, so Kai grabbed the control and flicked through a few TV channels before settling on a rerun of an old comedy show.
Ten minutes into it and I had no intention of going to bed any time soon. I was too settled, perfectly comfortable and content with Kai holding me as he was.
“This is so perfect, Kai,” I sighed. “I’m not sure I’ve ever felt so comfortable and relaxed as I do right now.”
“Me too,” he agreed as he placed a kiss on the top of my head. “You fit against me so perfectly. I can’t believe we missed out on thirteen years of this.”
“We’re here now. We have to be grateful for that,” I reminded him.
“You’re right. I love you Maddie. I know that seems fast, but I have loved you for thirteen years and I refuse to waste any more time not telling you.”
“I love you too.” I turned my body enough so that I could reach up and press my lips to his. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me in tight against his side so he could get closer. We quickly became entangled in a frenzied, desperate kiss. While one of his hands found its way into my hair, the other slid down my back and to my butt. He cupped my cheek, squeezing it playfully before he urged me to lift up. I swung a leg over his lap until I was straddling him and we were eye to eye. Kai growled as he pulled me closer against his body, deepening the kiss until it felt as though he were devouring my mouth. Not that I was complaining.
I looped my arms around his neck and dug my hand into his soft hair, pulling him even closer, begging him to kiss me even harder. I had never been kissed like this – with unbridled need and passion – and it was lighting me up inside in a way I didn’t even realize was possible. I never wanted it to end.
“Kai,” I whimpered as the feelings within me rose to uncontrollable levels. It felt amazing and overwhelming all at once.
“Tell me what you want, sunshine?” he gasped between kisses.
“You…please Kai. I need more,” I panted.
“You wanted to go slow?” he questioned as he stopped the kiss and pressed his forehead to mine. “I don’t want to push you.”
“I want to go slow for Willow. She’s not here right now,” I clarified. “Please Kai, take me to bed. We’re not rushing. I’ve waited years for this moment.”
“Fuck yes. Me too,” he agreed eagerly.
“Take me to bed,” I demanded with a confidence that was all new.
“On it, sexy,” he teased with a grin as he placed hands under my thighs and lifted me as I wrapped myself around him. I worried he would struggle. He was the shortest of the guys, and while he was definitely in shape and toned, he wasn’t as built as the others either. At five feet nine I was almost as tall as him, and pretty heavy with my own weight and that of the baby, but he seemed to stand with me in his arms with such ease, and it shocked and amazed me.
“Why the fuck’s my room so far away?” he growled playfully as he walked across the room and headed for the stairs.
“Maybe I can distract you a little,” I offered as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and pressed my lips to his again, kissing him hard and with the rising need building inside of me. He returned it while also navigating his way through the house and up the stairs.
By the time we reached the door of his room, his kiss had progressed, his lips now burning a fiery trail down the right side of my neck.
“Kai,” I begged, the new feelings of need and desperation building within me, becoming out of control. “Hurry up…please.”
“You’re very demanding when you’re all worked up like this,” he teased as his beautiful dark eyes met mine. “I love it.”
When he remained in the door way and started to once again trail kisses down my neck and over my shoulder, I cried out, in excitement or frustration, I was unsure.
Before I could focus enough to work it out, he stopped and kicked open the door of his room, stepping inside enough to kick it closed again behind him.
I glanced around quickly, taking in the space, which I hadn’t actually stepped into before. There was a large, king bed in the center, covered in checked blue and black sheets. The walls were painted a gentle shade of gray that made the space feel warm, while also modern. Hung above the bed was a huge canvas which I knew he had painted himself. I knew his style from seeing the paintings and drawings he had shown me when we were younger. His style was dark and modern. He threw paint at the canvas with the anger and bitterness his upbringing had instilled in him. The painting above the bed was just like that, with splashes of dark blues and blacks, but it was also dotted with some yellow that brought some hope and brightness into the moody darkness. Were I not filled with a quickly rising desperation, I could have studied it for hours, trying to decipher what he was feeling as he did it.
The other walls were empty. In fact most of the room was pretty empty. There was just a large dresser against one wall and a pair of night stands on either side of the bed. I guessed the two doors I could see led to an adjoining bathroom and closet, just like my room.
My perusal of the space was cut short when Kai set me down on my feet, the hardwood floor cold enough on my bare feet to cool me off a little.
