Khloe starts giggling at my telling him no.
“You asked for it,” he warns.
Before I can respond, Kai has his strong arms around me pulling me in and under. His lips touch mine briefly, as we rise to the surface.
Khloe swims out to us. She orders me to the other end of the pool so she can swim back and forth between us. After three laps, she is exhausted so I get her out and dry her off. Kai tells me to take her to take a nap in the room with his mom and come back to the pool. There is a hot tub and he says he will be waiting in it for me.
Kai’s mom is asleep so I get in bed with Khloe and pet her hair until she falls asleep. It takes a bit longer than I anticipated getting her to sleep. Her eyes close and I slowly creep out of the room. Kai is probably a hot prune by now.
The elevator ride down seems to take forever, making three other stops before I finally reach the pool level. When I go to the hot tub three girls surround Kai. He doesn’t seem to be missing my company one bit. He doesn’t even see me standing here watching him flirt. Is this what he is like all the time and I just have never seen him with other girls besides Raven? My chest aches as one of the three girls admires his tattoo.
“That’s so hot,” she says with a giggle and she actually touches him.
Kai catches my eyes just as I spin around to leave. “Kat!” he shouts my name but I don’t stop walking. “Kat, stop!” he shouts again running after me. His hand clutches my shoulder with his other hand going around my waist. His lips brush over my ear, his breath hot and sticky. “Kat, you don’t need to be jealous. No girl will ever compare to you for me.”
“She was touching you,’” I say trying to pull from his hold.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know she was going to,” he apologizes. “Am I forgiven?” he licks the shell of my ear sending goose bumps all over my body. He links his hand with mine. “Come on, I think there is a sauna. Let’s see if it’s empty.”
“You are forgiven this time,” I tease him.
We have to walk passed the hot tub to get to the sauna. All three of those girls give me a dirty look as we walk by. I smile at them, wink, and make sure I pull Kai in for a kiss while they watch. He’s mine girls, I think to myself.
“I think I like it when you get jealous and possessive,” Kai whispers into my neck and squeezes my butt. “I was telling them about my band, Kat. There are going to be girls and lots of them and I am going to smile and flirt back. Not because I want them but because I am trying to get my music noticed. Okay?”
“I get it Kai, I really do. Doesn’t mean that I have to like it.” I remember what Raven told me about Kai not wanting the guys to have steady girlfriends and my chest aches again.
We go into the sauna and there is a bunch of sweaty old men so we decide to say forget it and go back to the room to change and get something for dinner.
Back in the room, Kelli and Khloe are up and watching TV. “There you two are. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to have to come looking for you. Are you guys getting hungry? I thought we could just go down to the hotel restaurant so we can turn in early and get to the beach early.”
“Sounds good,” Kai, says with his dimples on full display. I nod and grab my bag so I can go into the bathroom and change. I put on a nice shirt and leggings and pull my hair into a ponytail.
Kai keeps it simple in a t-shirt and jeans. Khloe has to wear her bathing suit under her dress, she is refusing to take it off and Kelli doesn’t want to argue with her. Kai was right his mom is a pushover when it comes to her kids. I find it to be sweet that she wants to make them happy so much. I never had that growing up. All I ever got was a drunken prostitute telling me what an ungrateful abomination
I am.
We go down to the restaurant and Khloe insists on sitting between Kai and me. He nudges my foot with his foot and winks at me. I see the girls from earlier sitting at the table across from us and they are giggling as they stare at Kai. He follows my eyes and shakes his head, amused knowing I am still jealous. I can’t help it. The thought of Kai and other girls makes me crazy.
We finish eating and get back to the room so we can head out early.
Not long after the lights go out, I start feeling anxious. I quietly slip out of bed and pad across the carpet to the bathroom. I wait until I get the door closed to turn on the light. I am so excited to see the beach tomorrow. Splashing some cool water on my face makes me feel a little better. My stomach is flipping and flopping. I turn out the bathroom light and open the door slowly. When I step out Kai clamps his hand over my mouth. I know it is him by his touch and his smell. He whispers softly in my ear for me to give him five minutes.
I creep to the pullout sofa with him. His mouth is on mine. It feels so wrong to be making out with him, with his mom and Khloe on the other side of the bathroom, but I crave his kisses too much to stop it.
Kai’s fingers are in my pajama bottoms rubbing against my heated skin. Feels so good. I start touching him and soon he has my pants off. “I want you so bad Kat.”
“I want you too Kai,” I whisper. He pinches my nipple and bites my ear. I start easing his briefs down when I hear Khloe say my name. I roll quickly out of the bed, pull my pants up, and pretend to be coming out of the bathroom, just as his mom meets me at the edge of the wall. God, that was close.
She smiles pleased that she didn’t just catch me about to screw her son in the same room she is sleeping in.
Relief washes over me when I hear her get back in bed moments later. I can’t sleep after that. I have an aching desire for Kai between my thighs. I try to think of anything other than him so I can get to sleep but I can’t.
I find comfort in the thought that Kai is lying awake right now and wanting me just as much.
Chapter 18
The next morning Khloe wakes me up pressing her tiny hands on my chest and shaking me. “Up Katie!”
