Cathrine’s breath caught in her throat as she turned around then, breaking the mirror eye contact and looking directly into his eyes with a soft but sharp gaze.“Maybe I want you to.” She replied, her gaze going even softer, carrying both a certain level of playfulness and something even deeper than that.Kai stepped closer, his hand brushing her arm and that contact was feather-light — testing, reverent. The temperature difference between their skin and the warm air sent a shiver up her spine.Kai noticed immediately. “You’re cold.” He pointed out, causing Catherine to blush even harder as she tried to pull away from him but he pulled her back into him.“I’m not. You’re imagining it.” She replied, her nose scrunched up. Kai laughed as he got closer to her, and Catherine’s mind spiraled, she was thinking about a million things at once.He leaned closer to her, and her eyes closed. She was fully expecting him to take her lips in his mouth, and seeing that, Kai smiled as he moved to the

Edit: THIS IS A CORRECTION OF THE WRONG CHAPTER I UPDATED. I DEEPLY APOLOGIZE.He was going nuts, and it was almost as though he had no single idea what he was doing. It was as if he was being driven by a force far greater than his own will.He didn’t want to do anything that would wear her out even more but at the same time, he didn’t want to let her go. He wanted to savor her very taste, wanted to feel her until every single thing was seared in her memory.“Kai….” Catherine’s moan jolted him out of his thoughts, his eyes widened and he didn’t know just how strong his animalistic urge to claim her was that his teeth were already digging into her skin.“Oh. I’m sorry.” Kai apologized as he immediately moved away from her but before he could almost force himself out of the tub, Catherine’s palm latched onto his wrist.She didn’t want him to leave, she hadn’t made that sound because she wanted him to stop, she had made the sound because she thought that it would egg him on.She wanted h

There was a long moment of silence while the men all laughed about something, Catherine couldn’t keep her eyes off of Kai even if she tried, she couldn’t stop thinking about his words.She didn’t want to be the only person that had to be protected, she wanted to be able to protect, and while she was able to do something in the other realm, she knew that Kai did most of the heavy lifting.She took another sip of her tea and heaved out a sigh that made Teresa immediately turn to look at her. Teresa could tell that something was going through her mind, and she didn’t want to leave things that way.“What—”“Teresa?” Kai called before she could get the chance to ask Catherine what was going on with her and why she had let out such a heavy sigh.“What’s wrong?” Teresa smiled, looking away from Catherine and at Kai who seemed to be back to his usual self, he was smiling like he usually does but there was a glint in his eyes that suggested he wanted to do more things.Kai had been thinking ab

“Teresa!” Catherine called as Teresa didn’t stop dragging her down the hallway, and soon, they both walked into the library where most of the research and experiments was being carried out.“Oh my god! What is going on?” Catherine asked as Teresa closed the door behind her, she looked like an absolute child as she grinned, ready to unleash on Catherine.Catherine didn’t know why she had asked, she knew the reason Teresa had dragged her away from the boys even though she didn’t want to talk about what happened in the realm.She could tell that Teresa was more interested in the pulsing soul bond, which has gotten significantly stronger after their ordeal in the other realm.“You’re going to pretend that you don’t know why I brought you here?” Teresa asked, her eyes scanning the library and finding a chair, she sank into it with a sigh.“You’ve been gone for about a month, and just like the mission in Tokyo, the both of you retired with an even stronger soul bond, how did that happen?” T

OCTAVIA ADLER. The room fell silent, it was the kind of silence that hung heavy in the air, filled with words neither of us needed to say, and I could feel my eyes slowly fluttering shut. My heart was full, my whole body trembled from the intense workout but I didn’t regret a thing, and if I had to make a choice over again, I would choose to let him use me for his pleasure again. “Are you okay?” He asked, his voice reverberating through the room, and sending cold chills down my spine. I nodded in response, my body limp, muscles weak already. “Come on, there’s something I should do.” He added, and before I could protest, his arms slipped under me. I didn’t even know that he was already standing and hovering over me. Heat pooled in my stomach before spreading towards every single part of my being, burning where it passed through, and knowing that I could never win against him, I smiled and let him pick me up. My body was heavy, boneless, but he lifted me as if I weighed less than
