“Thank you so much.” Kai said as he watched Lilith scan the area. He had no idea that Lilith knew about herbs, but he had no intention of letting his thoughts out.His mind drifted off to Catherine, and he wondered how she was fairing. Teresa noticed this, and made her way closer to him. “She’s going to be fine.” Her voice jolted him out of his thoughts.“You crowding her is not going to help, I know you want to go to her,” Teresa explained with a sigh. “Don’t. She also needs to think about it, leave her alone and when her situation is getting critical, you can step in.”“You think I have the kind of patience to wait for things to get critical?” Kai asked, and Teresa shook her head. She opened her mouth to say something, but she thought against it, and kept her mouth shut.“Anyways, I need to keep looking for something, are you helping or not?” Teresa said, walking away from him while Kai looked perplexed.He couldn’t stop worrying about Catherine, and he knew nothing about herbs to h

Smiling, butterflies filled Catherine’s stomach as her hand gripped Kai’s cock even harder through his pants, but not so hard that it would hurt, she applied enough pressure to get a moan out of Kai. “I could, you know, help with this.” She said, her voice low and sultry as she maintained eye contact. Kai would be lying if he said he didn’t want that. Hell, he wanted her lips wrapped around his cock more than anything else, but he couldn’t be so selfish that he would tell her to do that now. He didn’t want her to exert herself, and the only time he would be selfish was whenever it had to do with her own pleasure. He was going to give everything in his power to see that she reached that peak of orgasm, but he…. He couldn’t possibly ask her to suck his dick now, that would make him the bad kind of selfish. Kai smiled as he slowly pulled her away, and checked his wristwatch. “I wish I could say yes to that, but we really have to get downstairs.” Kai said as gently as he could. “Lore

Catherine couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was going on with Kai. She had confided in Teresa, and even though Teresa had told her that she shouldn’t worry about it, she couldn’t help it.“No champagne for Catherine.” Shadow said from across the table, his voice was unusually loud that Catherine grunted, her cheeks turning red as she looked at Kai, who was smiling at the waitress.The fact that he was being overly accommodating with the waitress wasn’t helping her at all. The more she tried not to think about it, the moment she saw Kai interacting with the waitress, the more she became fixated and thought about it.It was totally logical that Kai no longer found her attractive, but it wasn’t that she let herself go. She was doing everything to stay in shape, she was doing everything to make sure that he stayed interested in her, but she might be wrong.Her face flicked over to Teresa, who blinked slowly to reassure her, and even though she knew that she was worrying for no

Catherine apologized for ever doubting Kai, she knew for sure that he loved her, that he would move heaven to earth for her, and she had doubted him. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, I don’t know what came over me.” She added, her face falling, and that only made Kai smile as he gently placed two fingers on her chin, lifting her face so that she could look at him. “You have nothing to apologize for.” He assured her as he stared into her eyes. The tension between them was sizzling, and Catherine could feel butterflies in her stomach. Kai already knew what to do now, trying to be overly considerate of her without communicating properly was what had caused her to think that he could ever look at anyone else the way he looked at her. He told himself that if Catherine could feel that way, then maybe he wasn’t doing a proper job showing her just how much she meant to him in the first place. He pulled her closer to her—so close that her chest crushed into him, and he could instantly feel his l

“You’re not going anywhere, and I’m done with this conversation.” Kai said firmly as he stood from his chair. He had asked the waitress who then told him that there was a bowling center in the restaurant.“This place should be called an exclusive mall instead of a restaurant.” Kai laughed, genuinely done with the conversation of whether or not Jackson gets to stay.He already said that Jackson was going to stay, and there was nothing that would change his mind. And thankfully, everyone else had also not only accepted Lilith, but they’d accepted Jackson too.They had all collectively agreed that him staying would be best, and just before Kai could make his way out of the VIP room, he immediately remembered something he hadn’t said.“Ahh, another reason I don’t want you to go is because there is no one that can help calm Lilith, the one person that could have done that isn’t around.” Kai smiled at Jackson.“You want me to be able to sleep at night, don’t you?” Kai asked, and the whole r
