Chapter 18

The Weekend Before Halloween

Halloween parties are finally here, and I’m so excited. Everyone parties the weekend before the holiday and after. Of course, I couldn’t do anything during the day. Doesn’t matter to me. This is the first time I’ve snuck out since that day with the cops.

“I can’t believe I’m out!” I squeal as Kai drives off.

Kai and I planned to meet at twelve-thirty, giving my mom a little more time to fall asleep. I knew she would be more tired tonight after taking Bryn to do Halloween activities. She went to bed at ten rather than her usual time.

“You look hot,” he says with a grin.

I didn’t want Mom to suspect me of sneaking out for a Halloween party tonight, so I borrowed one of Paige’s cheerleading costumes. I didn’t have to ask my mom to buy me one, thank God, because she definitely would’ve been on to me.

It’s a white and blue miniskirt with a tank top cropped shirt.

I paired it with long stockings that go past my knees.

You’re supposed to wear high-heeled boots that go over your knees, but I didn’t want to risk making a sound wearing them or carrying them out the door in my hand.

Instead, I paired it with socks and white sneakers. I still look hot.

“Thanks, so do you,” I tell him, glancing his way. Kai is wearing a black and white jersey and a black hat that sits backward on his head. We opted for a themed costume.

The sound of music increases the closer we get to the apartment. This time, it’s louder than I’ve ever heard it before.

I'm praying the cops don’t come.

“Snap Yo Fingers” by Lil Jon vibrates through the apartments.

“Let’s take some shots.” Paige leads me inside, leaving Kai behind. The minute she saw Kai’s car, she ran out and got me. Owen has been picking her up more. I’ve been so lost in my love life that I haven’t asked about hers.

“Of what?”

“I don’t know. Anything.”

We squeeze our way through the kitchen, finding a tiny little spot.

There are so many more people here than usual.

No wonder the music is louder; they probably had to turn it up to hear it over everyone’s talking and laughter.

Everyone’s dressed up in costumes, too. I don’t see even one person not dressed up.

Paige hands me a shot. “What is this?”

Kai comes up behind me and wraps his arm around my midsection. I lean my head back. “Take a shot with us.”

“Here.” Paige shoves a shot in his face.

Shaking my head. She’s on one.

We all clink our red cups together and slam our shots down. The back of my throat burns as I swallow the tequila. I reach for a beer to wash away the burn.

A few shots later, my lips are feeling numb. That’s when I can tell the alcohol is taking over.

I’ve danced a few times with Paige, but most of the night I’ve been staying by Kai’s side.

I nuzzle into Kai’s neck, inhaling his warm scent. I’m thinking this might be his natural scent.

“What are you doing?” he asks as I kiss all along his neck.

I giggle and keep kissing, reaching for his jawline, and then he turns his head and our lips slightly touch. I gaze up at him as he narrows his eyes at me.

He whispers against my mouth, “Let’s go somewhere with some privacy.”

He leads me into Kevin’s room. I’m surprised it’s empty. Seeing Kevin’s penis springing around again was a concern for me. I’ve seen Kevin’s penis before I’ve seen Kai’s. That’s not good. I’ve felt Kai's, but only from over his clothes.

Kai places me on the bed and lies on top of me.

We both have our clothes on. He leans in and brushes his lips against mine, trailing his tongue around my lips before both of our tongues collide together.

He digs his hips deeper into mine, thrusting back and forth.

Feeling his penis harden between us, I spread my legs a little wider.

My skirt scoots up, only leaving my underwear and his pants between us.

Our kissing intensifies with each thrust. A warm sensation increases in my core—the same way it did the first time in the movie theater.

I’ve never had an orgasm from someone else before.

Sometimes I think I give myself one when I go down there to explore.

I’m not exactly sure if it’s a full-on orgasm or not.

Sometimes I feel a sense of relief after.

Kai’s breathing becomes heavier, and his thrusts become deeper. He reaches down to my midsection, sliding up underneath my shirt, and I jerk back a little from the touch of his hand.

“Is this okay?”

I nod.

He continues up, placing his palm on top of my boob and slightly squeezing. I feel throbbing down my center, along with an intense need for him.

Kai rests his head against the crease of my neck.

His heated breath radiates between us. He quickens his thrusts, breathing heavier.

He groans louder. I look up at him, eyes wide, wondering what that was.

He lifts his head with glossed-over eyes, staring down at me.

He places a peck on my nose and sits up.

“Did you finish?” he asks.

“No.”

He lies down next to me and plants a tender kiss on my lips. The touch of his fingertips trail down my midsection. This time, in the opposite direction and down to my center. Before going any further, he releases our lips and looks at me with questioning eyes.

I nod in agreement to what he’s about to do.

His hands find their way underneath my underwear.

The warmth of his hand radiates to my clit.

A shiver runs down my body as he gently touches me.

My breaths become heavier as I close my eyes, enjoying the feeling.

With a growing sense of pleasure, I arch my hips up, slightly.

Soft sounds of pleasure escape my lips. He breaks our kiss, and I open my eyes to find him gazing at me.

All I can focus on is his touch. He leans in to kiss me again, his gentle strokes moving a little faster, increasing the pleasure.

My heart races, and I bite my lip, moaning as his touch sends me over the edge with waves of warmth running through my body.

I sit up quietly, my heart pounding and my center still throbbing. I’ve never been touched like that before. Shock radiates through my entire body.

Kai looks at me with concern on his face. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah,” I mumble.

“Are you sure?” he asks inching closer to me and wrapping my hand in his.

A smile spreads across my face. “Yes. It felt good.” I bite my lip while turning my head, shying away from his gaze.

He places his thumb and finger on my chin, turning my head toward him, and kisses me on the lips. “I’m glad it felt good for you.

He gets off the bed and heads to the closet for a change of boxers and pants. He keeps his back to me, so I can't see anything. I wish I had seen his penis. Better than seeing his brother’s.

After he’s done changing, he grabs my hand, and we head back out to the party. The bass intensifies as we walk. I come to a halt in front of the bathroom, dragging us both in.

“What are you doing?” he asks.

“I gotta pee.”

He turns around and lets me do my business. After, I go to the sink and wash my hands, staring at my reflection in the mirror. My face is flushed, but I don’t mind it. It looks like I have blush on. After washing my hands, I run my hands through my hair, smoothing it out.

“Okay. Let’s go.”

Walking back into the party, I notice the place looks more packed than before. How can so many people fit in here? A sense of nervousness runs through my body. What if the cops come again? At least Kai knows where to run to.

“Where have you been?” Paige yells over the music.

I shrug my shoulders, not wanting to tell her.

“Come downstairs with me and Owen. We’re playing pool.”

“Let’s go,” Kai says.

We get downstairs, which is a little less packed than upstairs. I’m surprised no one is at the pool table. Kai walks over to Owen, and they laugh about something.

“You and Kai on one team, and me and Owen on the other,” Paige says.

“That’s fair,” Owen agrees. Owen has already racked the balls. He takes the first hit, and a striped ball goes into the left corner pocket.

“Do you want to go first?” Kai asks.

Reaching for a pool cue, I lean over in front of a solid ball. Kai comes behind me and helps me get into position.

He points and says, “Make sure the ball goes that way.”

I do as he says, and the ball goes into the right pocket.

“That’s cheating,” Paige says.

“No, it’s not. Owen can show you, too.”

“She walks over to the side of the pool table and leans over. “Come on, Owen.” She shakes her ass a little while bending over.

Kai and I both look over at him. He’s wide-eyed with a big smile on his face.

Kai wraps me in his arms as we watch them hit the ball.

Every time he wraps his arms around me I feel as if the world fades leaving the two of us in our love bubble.

We haven’t spoken about earlier but ever since then, there has been a closeness between us.

An unspoken connection that’s unlike anything I’ve ever felt before.
