At home, Kai sat across from me. His body looked disproportionate to the gray bean bag he was sitting on. In his lap, he was writing in his notebook. We were summarizing our project from start to finish. He has been here for over an hour and the boy didn't seem to want to say anything to me. He barely looked in my direction.

I couldn't help but eye him from the coffee table. My notebook opened and my mechanical pencil in my hand. I tried to focus on finishing my summary. This would end our project together and the last part we needed to prepare.

We placed our final product on the coffee table. It was a small bottle of perfume. The scent wasn't too heavy, but you could smell the floral flowers we used.

Suddenly, Kai leaned forward, and I averted my eyes back to my paper. Staring at the paper, but nothing really comes to mind. I heard him pop the cork to the perfume and then he sniffed before he put the cork back on and placed it back on the coffee table.

The tension and quietness put me on edge. I looked up from my paper and dropped my mechanical pencil on top of it. Looking straight at him this time, I waited for him to look at me. When he didn't, I spoke up.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

He didn't move or respond. He continued to write in his notebook, and that irritated me. I huffed and picked up my mechanical pencil. I'll just ignore him. If he doesn't want to talk about it, why bother asking?

I looked at my paper, intent on writing, but I couldn't. I slammed my pencil back down onto the coffee table and glared in his direction.

"Why are you acting this way?"

His pale green eyes lifted from his notebook to look at me. However, his face remained emotionless and nonchalant.

"Well?" I prodded further.

I saw his jaw ticked before he dropped his gaze back to his notebook. I rolled my eyes at him before picking up my pencil again. There was no way in hell I was going to ask again. I began writing furiously in my notebook.

I don't know what the hell has gotten into him. Either way, it was none of my business. For a good while, Kai and I didn't talk to each other. He didn't look up from his paper and neither did I. Occasionally, we would lean over and examine our materials and finished product. But still pretended like the other person didn't exist in the room.

Before I knew it, I was already close to finishing my paper. I just needed to complete the conclusion. Putting my notebook down, I stood up to go use the bathroom. After I washed my hands and opened the door, I walked right into Kai. He was standing outside the door.

I looked up, and our eyes met. Rolling my eyes, I tried to walk around Kai. However, he stopped me this time. Grabbing my right elbow, he yanked me up against the hallway wall. Putting one arm up near my head while the other clamped on my elbow to keep me from moving. Kai bent his head low, looking at me indifferently. I looked deeper into his eyes and saw that he wasn't as indifferent as he wanted to pass on.

"You know, I just don't get girls like you," he whispered.

Me? What the hell does he mean by that?

Kai leaned closer, and I pressed myself up against the wall as much as I could. I placed an open palm on his chest to stop him from coming closer. I could feel his heartbeat in the palm of my hand.

"Girls like me?" I narrowed my eyes.

"Girls who think they are better than others. So, they think they deserve no less than what they deserve," he looked me up and down, "Anything less and they won't even spare a second glance."

That made me furious. I've never been one to view someone like they are lower than me. I pushed hard on Kai's chest.

"Get off me."

Kai grabbed both of my wrists and pressed it up against the wall.

"It looks like I hit a nerve, or you wouldn't be fighting me like this."

"You're a complete ass, Kai. I thought we were friends, but I guess people like you treat others like crap just to make yourself feel better."

He laughed out loud, but it wasn't a sincere laugh. It was a cold and angry laugh.

"I never made myself to be anything else than what you have seen. Hell, I still don't give a fuck what you think about me either, because that's what you are to me. Nothing more than a girl trying to get what she could never have."

That infuriated me even more. One of my arms slipped from Kai's grasp and I slapped him across the face hard. I pounded my fist on his chest. Kai grabbed my wrist and pressed it back into the wall again.

"Let me go, you prick."

Kai leaned forward and, in a moment of fury, I lunged at him and bit his neck hard. It hurt to hear him say those words to me. It hurt more than I wanted to admit. He didn't make a sound. Instead, I felt his hands squeezed my wrists a little tighter. I bit him so hard; I tasted a hint of blood. It was when I pulled back and saw what I did.

It wasn't pretty at all. I looked up at him and saw him looking back at me with indifferent eyes. He released my wrist to dab the wound on his neck. I've never bitten or slapped anyone in my life. However, Kai was different. He would drive me out of my normal state of mind and do things without thinking.

"So, you aren't denying what I said and now resorting to biting now? Did it make you feel better? Did you get to vent all your frustration with me now?" Kai asked in an ominously low voice.

I jutted my chin into the air in defiance and glared at him.

"It's my turn then."

Kai snorted before he bent down and bit me hard on my left chest. Just above my heart. He bit me hard. I wanted to scream out loud and push him away. But I didn't. I pressed my lips together to the point of them hurting. I closed my eyes and inhaled for the longest time.

When Kai let go, I felt an aching and stinging pain in my breast. Wincing, I placed a hand over it. It hurt even more when I touched it. I guess this was how Kai felt when I bit him. What was I thinking? We were biting each other like animals.

By now, my anger has dissipated more than half. I looked up at him from beneath my eyelashes.

"I'm not that kind of person," I grumbled. "I've never looked down on you or anyone I've met in my life."

He took a step back, still touching his neck lightly. I looked at the bite mark and it was looking worse by the second. If it healed properly, it won't leave any bite marks. But I already knew it would heal badly. The bruise and wounds were deep. Biting my bottom lip, I looked at him apologetically.

"I'm sorry for biting you so hard. You're... you're just so damn hard to work with sometimes. Sometimes you're nice and other times you're a pain in the behind. Why can't you be nice?"

"What were you doing with Dean?"

I blinked once, twice. Opened my mouth to say something but stopped. He wasn't there. So, the only way he would have found out was from Benny.

"He wanted to take me out for ice cream." I walked away from him and back to the living room.

Kai was right behind me. He spun me around and pushed me back onto the sofa before hovering over me. The way he was bent down and his hair falling all around his face and the sleeveless, black t-shirt he wore made him look hot. His necklace dangled between us. I stared into his eyes while pressing a palm to his chest once again.

"W-what are you doing now?"

"We're not finished, Dollface."

"What? Whatever Dean and I did is none of your business. Why are you making it seem like I did something wrong? I'm single and can go anywhere I want."

Kai's jaw worked back and forth. His eyes narrowed on me. I couldn't resist shifting under his intense gaze.

"Do you like him?"

He threw yet another question that had me stuttering. Inside, I'm trying to figure out how to respond to him. Wasn't it an obvious answer? If I didn't like him, I wouldn't be excited when I talk to him. Another voice in my head piped up and reminded me of the feeling of excitement when I was around Kai. Thinking back to the moment in the store when he and I fell to the ground. His nearness makes me feel flustered.

This should be a simple answer.

But under Kai's intense gaze, I couldn't speak. I kept quiet. Kai moved to cup one side of my face. Leaning down, he was only a hair's breadth away.

"Did your heart race and toes curl when he kissed you?"

He didn't kiss me.

Kai leaned down and brushed his lips over mine, and my body instantly pebbled with goosebumps. His hands slid back, and I felt his fingers between my hair. My lips parted on their own accord and my heart raced. It felt so good beneath his touch. I found that I liked it very much, but another voice in my head was telling me to stop and think.

Kai pulled on my bottom lip and sucked on it. My mind fell into a blank. It was like a canvas that has no beginnings or endings. My hand pressed up against his chest, now fisted his sleeveless black t-shirt. His kiss deepened and his tongue invaded my mouth. His tongue sliding seductively against my tongue. Kai slanted his head and deepened the kiss.

With his free hand, he wrapped one arm around my waist and lifted me up with little effort. Turning around so quickly, he switched our position. I was now sitting on top of him. Our kiss grew more feverish. I felt like my whole body was lit on fire and he was the only one who could put it out.

My hands slid up and around his throat before intertwining them in the roots of his black hair. I felt my hips move on their own accord. I could feel how hard he was, and each time I brushed myself over that bulge, a rush of heat spread between my legs. It egged me for more and before I knew it; I was rocking hard over the bulge.

Kai groaned, and I whimpered against his lips. Feeling hopeless at how my body couldn't seem to stop. The raging fire inside of me was unquenchable. It made me frustrated and excited at the same time.

"Fuck," Kai growled when he tore his lips from mine. I couldn't stop. Instead, I sought his soft lips again and demanded he kiss me again. I felt his hands slide to my behind and squeezed.

Although I was wearing a thin pajama short, I felt the cloth barrier was a nuisance. I wanted more and I couldn't stop. I whimpered in frustration and rocked my hips harder.

Cradling his face, I pulled away but still rocked. Our eyes met, and I felt like I was staring into a burning forest. Ashes were flying everywhere and yet there was still a burning fire in them. Kai bit his bottom lip and I moaned as something began to twist harder and faster inside me.

"Kai, please." I don't know what I was begging for, but I only knew Kai was the only one who could save me.

He made an almost feral sound before flipping me onto the sofa. His body fell on top of mine before I felt his bulge hit me hard between the apex of my legs. I cried out and wrapped my arms tighter around him. He buried his face in my neck. I felt his heavy breathing fan my skin.

He thrust his hips harder and faster and each time he would groan almost in pain. The string inside of me grew stronger and I couldn't stop trying to meet his thrust.

When I felt the string inside of me snap, I couldn't stop crying out while digging my fingers into his backside. He continued to thrust, ringing out the last of my orgasm. I felt my entire body go limp.

Kai propped himself up on his elbows to look down at me. The sudden reality of what happened hit me. I couldn't believe I allowed Kai to do this. I shoved him off me. He fell onto the floor. I glanced between his legs and noticed the large bulge still threatening to break free of his zippers.

My whole body was still shaking at how good it felt, but my mind was finally talking.

What were you thinking?

How could you allow Kai to do that to you?

Why didn't you stop him?

And most importantly...

What does this mean?

"I-I'm sorry," I stuttered.

His dark, intense gaze fell on me. Before he shoved a hand into his hair and he scoffed.

"You're apologizing to me?"

"Yes, what else am I supposed to say?" I shouted at him.

"How about 'Thank you'?"

I bit the bottom of my lip and covered my eyes. Flashes of what we just did, hit me in waves and my heart began racing again.

"This won't ever happen again."

Kai snorted and stood up from where he was sitting on the floor. He walked over to his work and grabbed them before standing up to his full height. I swallowed hard at the sight of him. His crotch was still hard and in my line of view now. I looked away and listened as he walked out of my house. I tried not fidget or look like a nervous wreck in front of him.

When he left, I collapsed on the sofa and screamed into the cushion. I can't believe what just happened. The rest of the night, I did everything I could to forget about what we did together.

The next morning, I walked to school and noticed that Dean was already waiting for me at the coffee shop. He bought me a coffee, and we walked to school together. I went the entire day without bumping into Kai once.

During lunch time, while grabbing myself some food, I overheard some girls talking about Kai. My ears perked up, and I listened to their conversation.

"He was there?"

"Yes, Chloe ditched us the moment she saw him walk into the club. She was all over him. They were together the entire night."

Entire night? I bit the inside of my mouth till it bled. Why was he with Chloe and what did they do? I had no right to be questioning who Kai was with, but I couldn't resist the questions that popped up in my head.
