Chapter Nineteen
Tokyo
Iwaste no time, backing up into the fields as I take the opening to escape with my world in my hands.
Pulling Kai along into the covers of the dry stalks that sway with the wind, time slows down.
The screams and laughter fade into the background as “Been Like This,” by Doja Cat, blares through the speakers.
The strobes twinkle, fading in and out around us. I barely register the couple that runs past us, bloody and screaming. My eyes remain glued to the brown eyes locked on mine. “Kai.”
He smiles as he allows me to pull him deeper into the darkness, and once I find a spot quiet enough, my hands move to cup his strong jaw, my thumb brushing along his five o’clock shadow, which makes him look older and manlier.
Kai drops his forehead onto mine, and we breathe each other in.
There’s so much I want to say, like I’m sorry for leaving.
For lying. For deceiving. For everything.
But words don’t come out of my mouth even when I desperately want them to.
“Kai,” I repeat his name, trying to form the words, but I’m silenced by the soft press of lips. His taste invades my mouth as his tongue runs against mine slowly—they find their rhythm as his hand falls to the small side of my back, pushing me into him.
My body instantly melts against his muscular and lean frame.
The smell of his cologne, sweat, and the hint of blood causes adrenaline to course through my body, blending with the need.
My body turns into molten lava, making me thick and heavy with desire…
Even through the carnage… through the lies.
.. I could never not want him. I want this.
We kiss until we are breathless, panting into each other’s mouths, nipping and licking, when Kai finally pulls away, allowing us space to breathe.
“Trouble,” he whispers, his hand cradling my face as he runs his nose against mine. “Are you real?”
“Yes.”
“Mmm,” he hums in satisfaction—the sound sends electricity straight to my heart, making it dance.
A rhythm only for him. My brother. My love.
My Kai. It doesn’t matter that we aren’t related, that we don’t share the same DNA.
We love each other, first as family, and then as lovers. “I have to go back.”
My thin brows pull together, my head shaking vigorously in his hands. “No.” I kiss him again, the bat falling from my hands as my fingers fist into his torn shirt. “No.”
Kai kisses me back, but it feels more like a goodbye—more like bidding a little time for him to be selfless.
So, fucking selfless he is. All the time.
A tear slips from the corner of my eye as his tongue dips inside my mouth, and my hand falls from his chest and moves towards the zipper of his pants.
Needing to fill me with him, because if we die tonight—like before—I’ll die right here…
In this moment, content with a fucking smile on my face.
My hand connects with the warmth of his length, eliciting a soft groan from his lips that I quickly consume.
“Fuck me, Kai.”
The only response I get is his hand snatching off the black wig Alec made me wear. A slow smile spreads across his face as his hand works to free my short blue tendrils. “Much better. Blue looks good on you.”
I smile at that; warmth is pooling deep in my core.
“You should see how it will look while inside me.” With that, I’m shoved to my knees, and my eyes go wide as I watch him fist his cock and then use the head to trace over my lips.
Licking the precum left around my flesh, I close my eyes as I savor the salty taste of him.
“We should run,” I plead, trying to use sex to convince him to leave this all behind. Let Alec hash out his beef with Roman, and we can finally be together—and get so far away from those two. This is their war, not mine, and it’s definitely not Kai’s.
My tongue darts out slowly around the head of his cock, watching as he sucks in a breath before biting his bottom lip and throwing his head back with a deep guttural groan as I sink him deeper into my mouth.
The width of his cock painfully stretches my lips the deeper I take him.
My tongue swirls along the shaft just like he likes it, and not once do I dare look away.
I love watching him come undone for me. We could die at any minute, and that alone makes me fucking horny.
So much so that I rub my cunt on his boot, not caring a bit that it’s dirty and caked in mud, and maybe blood.
All I care about is the high that I’m chasing as I gag around his dick.
He thrusts harder, and I rock to his beat.
I’m so close to the edge, the hairs on my body all stand as if waiting for lightning to strike so I can finally combust. Suddenly, he yanks me away from his cock, strings of saliva falling down my chin onto my chest.
“Turn around.” More screams fill the air, and the music has changed from a slow tempo, so I do as he asks. From the corner of my eye, I watch two girls dressed as nuns, covered in crimson, mouth-fucking each other with no care that we are so close and about to be fucking.
They are lost in their own world… their own intensity.
Suddenly, my thoughts are interrupted by a loud smack on my ass, the cold from the night air cooling the sting of the pain.
Kai wastes no time filling me up with him.
In one brutal thrust, he causes me to fall onto my hands as his dick rips into me, pulling out slowly before slamming back into me.
Each brutal thrust sinks me further into the ground, his hand pressing me even deeper as he fucks me like an animal.
Punishing me for everything, and fuck it feels amazing.
What a penance!
His thumb enters my asshole, not bothering to prep me, and using my ass like a handle, he backs me into him while he pants and groans.
“Kai!” I scream out, feeling the need to come, but he slows down his pace, making it harder for me to find release.
That’s his punishment—bringing me close to the edge, only to be the one to yank me away.
Over and over again. My nails dig into the soil, need and frustration mingling together, causing me to buck like a wild animal beneath him.
I forgot how strong my brother truly is.
I might be wild, but what makes him the animal he is—is his patience.
And with me—he’s lost all of it.
The worst part is that there are no words. Nothing but the sweet and deliciously painful thrusts conveying his words.
“Mine,” he finally rasps out as my walls flutter around him.
Kai’s long fingers fist my hair as he pulls me into him.
His arm banded around my waist as we looked up at the moon and the smoke from the machine.
The lights flash around us, red, green, and orange.
Kai fucks me slower, coaxing me to the edge, as his lips caress the length of my neck, placing delicate kisses.
“Mine in this lifetime and the next. Even in death, Trouble.”
“Yours in every way,” I say breathless as I fall victim to his ministrations. My walls convulsed around him before finally clenching around his shaft.
“Now, come,” he breathes into my ear, and I obey.
He splits me open, small stars dance around my vision, and all I feel is him inside me, filling me with the warmth of his seed.
However, the bliss is short-lived. A loud bang fills the night air, causing him to go still inside me.
Then, the sound of a chainsaw roaring to life has him pulling out of me, and my hand is clutching the bat on the ground.
Fortunately, we are able to use the sounds to locate the killer.
Sadly, it’s because it’s the screams of one of the nuns.
Blood sprays into her mouth and across her face as she watches the other girl be torn in half by the blade of a chainsaw.
Kai is already moving since the killer is facing them with his back towards us.
Crazy, fucking, selfless bastard. I move from behind him—actually, I move right in front of him.
My fingers tighten around the bat just before bringing it into the back of one of his knees.
Then, Kai stands to his full height, kicking him in the other, causing the man to fall forward… Right onto his chainsaw.
He thrashes as the blade rips into his chest, then he stills as it emerges from his back side, the blood spurting everywhere, covering us and the ground.
I smile at Kai just as another loud bang sounds off.
No doubt, in my mind, it’s a gun. This time, it’s me who takes off at the sound of it.
Hoping it’s not who I think it is—hoping that for once I can be like the man I love and be selfless.
