“Kai,” she whispers, and I sit up straight as the clock chimes.
Our time is up, and I see disappointment in her eyes which has to mirror my own. “I need to see you again,” I say, knowing this is a fucking bad idea.
I should count myself lucky that I got this treat from her today and pray the king doesn’t find out. This puts both of us in jeopardy, as well as the plan that I’ve worked years to get in place. I should do all of those things, but I can’t. Maybe this is the end for me, and I’ll have to deal with what comes. But Sienna is worth it. She’s worth dying for. I can feel it in me. I understand now what my father was talking about when he found Mom.
“Listen,” I tell her as we stand up to say goodbye, “that number you gave me, is it secure?”
“Umm, I mean, yeah on my side. But if you call from here, they’ll be recording it.”
“I know, but what I mean is if there’s someone on your end recording. Can I call and not get you into trouble?”
Her eyes brighten at the thought, and she nods. “Yeah, it’s secure.”
I pull her against me and breathe in her scent, praying that it burns into my skin so I don’t lose it. It’s sweet like sunshine and summertime, and every muscle in my body relaxes at her touch. Well, every muscle except my dick.
“I don’t want to go,” she says against my chest, and I nod even though she can’t see me.
“I’m working on something,” I admit, even though I shouldn’t be telling her anything. “Just be safe and do what you’re told.”
Leaning down, I hold her face as I quickly brush my lips against hers. One day I’ll spend hours kissing her, but for now this has to be enough. After the second chime goes off, I release her and take a step back. My insides scream at me like I’ve taken away my life blood.
“When will I see you again?” she asks, and the way she rubs her legs together makes me think she’s already hoping for a repeat of today. That makes two of us.
“Tomorrow,” I answer, seeing the guards leading all the civilians out. “Come back tomorrow.”
She looks like she wants to say something, and I feel the same way. Somehow goodbye isn’t enough, but what can I do? Scream I love you as she leaves the prison? I want to, but that makes me sound fucking crazy, so I keep it to myself.
My dad told me one day I would find the woman I’d bring home to the island. How can that be possible when she’s the king's daughter? The queen can’t leave him unprotected, and I don’t know if they can both make it out of this unscathed.
When she’s out of the room and the metal door closes behind her, part of my heart leaves with her once again. Will she take all of it piece by piece? I’d gladly get on my knees and cut it out if that’s what she asked me to do.
There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for her, and even though that should scare me, all it does is make me want to dig deeper into her.
Chapter Seven
Sienna
The whole way back home I wonder if anyone can smell Kai on me. If they do, they don’t say a word. I can still feel him against me, and It’s hard to differentiate between his cum and my own desire. I bite the inside of my cheek to keep from whimpering as I recall every detail.
Never in a million years did I think that was going to happen today. I was sure he’d come out and ask what the heck I wanted. He might have even thought I requested to see him because it could’ve been something related to my dad.
Those thoughts all vanished when I walked through the door and his eyes locked on me. There was hunger and need there, and only I could feed him. There was a burning need inside of me to let him feast on me. He didn’t treat me like a little girl like everyone else does, and it only confirmed to me that he felt this pull too. I guess I’m not completely crazy.
He took my hand and pleasured himself, and then he marked me. It was primal and gave me the feeling that he’s claimed me. There’s no going back from this point. I’m his, and I don’t care what anyone else says.
The drive back home is longer than normal, and I know it’s because I’m already on edge. My clit throbs with need, and every time the SUV hits a bump I have to fight not to moan. All I want to do is put my hand between my legs and rub.
