Chapter 17 – Lana
I open my eyes to a bright light shining in my bedroom. I groan. Since when do I have my curtains cracked? I blink a few times and before I sit up, I feel something around my waist. What the fuck?
I turn around and see Kai next to me. I jump up and fall out of the bed with a thud. “Baby? Are you okay?” He asks, sleepily. Fuck. I hate, that the pet name gets me, but especially when it comes from Kai’s mouth.
“What are you doing here?” I ask. “What am I doing here? Baby, you’re in my house.” He says and chuckles. I look around all of a sudden. I’ve never been in Kai’s house before. Ever. When did we get here last night?
I look down and realize I have just my bra and underwear on. I grab a blanket that’s nearby and hold it across my chest. I stand up. “Baby, I’ve seen you naked before, why are you acting shy?” Kai asks. “Stop calling me baby.” I say.
“But you are my baby.” He says with a mock pout.
I shake my head. “Where are my clothes?” I ask.
“In the bathroom. I figured we could take a shower. I was going to wake you up and give you one, but I figured you needed a lot of rest. Especially after our little rendezvous at Midnight Mayhem.” He says.
“I can shower by myself Kai.” I say. He gets up out of bed in only his boxers. Shit. I haven’t seen Kai in five years and so much has changed. But it also feels like we’re right back at that house party. Kai walks closer to me.
“Baby. Let me take care of you. Please, I missed you.” He says. I sigh. He’s not going to stop. I might as well just let him take care of me. I make my way to the bathroom, blanket in tow. Kai is right behind me.
“Do you want me to wash your clothes or do you want to borrow something of mine?” He asks. I turn and look at him. “You can wash them and I’ll borrow something until they’re clean.” I say. He nods.
He picks up our clothes from the bathroom floor and takes them to the laundry room. I sit down on the toilet and wait for him to come back. I listen to the cabinet doors open and close, and the slam of the top load washer.
I stand up and look at my reflection. He didn’t take my makeup off for me. I let the blanket drop and I help myself to his cleaning supplies to get my makeup off.
As I’m working on getting it off, Kai comes back and leans against the doorframe. “Here, let me help.” He says. I turn and look at him. “I’m almost done, Kai.” I say. He walks up to me and takes the towel out of my hand, and gently wipes off what’s left.
His eyes are searching my face for anything left and our eyes lock. He puts the towel down on the counter and then his hands reach around my back and unclasp my bra.
“Kai.” I start. He puts a finger to my mouth and pulls my bra the rest of the way off with his other hand. He then puts both his hands on my waist and pull me closer before pulling my panties down.
I gasp at the way his hands feel against my skin. I step out of my panties and look up at him. He leans down and licks my ear. I moan and close my eyes.
His left hand grips my waist and his right hand squeezes my boob as he sucks on my earlobe. “I’ve missed you, baby.” He whispers into my ear. I nod, words escaping me because of the way I feel right now.
I open my eyes and just take in the way his skin feels against mine. I don’t want to admit it but I missed Kai and the way he feels. He lets go of my boob and spins me around. I gasp as his hand wraps around my neck.
His other hand slides down my waist to my bare pussy. His fingers circle my clit. “Damn, baby, you must’ve missed me too. You’re already soaked.” He says. I shake my head. He slaps my clit. I moan. “Don’t shake your head, I can feel how wet you are, baby.” He growls.
He lets go of my throat long enough to turn the water on in the shower. Then he continues circling my clit until I’m a mewling mess. “Can you feel how my body is reacting to you?” He says in my ear.
I feel his cock poking my ass cheek. I nod. He abruptly stops the assault on my clit and picks me up. He steps into the shower with me wrapped around him. Then he lifts me further until my legs are on his shoulders.
He pins me up against the shower wall and he kisses my thighs. I pant. “If you tell me to stop, I will. But I am never letting you go again, Lana.” He says. I look down at him and he licks my center. I moan loudly.
“Tell me to stop.” He says. I shake my head. “No. Don’t stop, Kai.” He sucks my clit into his mouth and I lean my head against the cool shower tiles and I mewl.
Like a woman possessed I start to grind on his face without thinking.
“That’s it, baby. Cum on my face.” He says.
I lose myself in those words alone. I grind uncontrollably until I tense up.
I scream Kai’s name as a big wave crashes down on me.
He doesn’t stop until my orgasm passes. He grips my ass and holds me there.
I pant and my body stops grinding. He gives me a minute and then he starts licking my pussy again. “KAI!” I yell. “Give me one more baby. I’ve waited five years to hear you scream for me like that.” I feel another orgasm building up quickly.
Fuck. I pant and grab his head. He sucks my clit into his mouth and clamps down. His tongue flicking back and forth, like he was starved. I cry out as this orgasm hits me harder than the last one. I feel Kai cry out as his cum sprays the shower wall.
The vibrations from his moan push me further and forces the orgasm to drag out. And then I squirt. He laps me up until I’m spent. My legs shake and I can barely breathe.
Kai helps me down and we collapse onto the shower floor. He holds me and washes me up. “That was…” I start. “Don’t speak, baby. It was everything to me.” He says and then he kisses me.
We spend a few minutes making out before he lifts me out of the shower. We get cleaned up, and then I’m so spent that I barely make it to his bed before I crash.
I wake up a few hours later. Fuck. Ending up under Kai is not what I wanted. My body says otherwise. I roll over and see the alarm clock next to the bed, it reads 12:30. I jump up. I have to get back to my house. NOW.
I don’t know if I have anything going on with the movie today. I run into the laundry room. My clothes are neatly folded. I grab them up and start getting dressed. I start frantically looking for my shoes.
“Looking for these?” I let out a scream. “Fuck, Kai! You scared the ever living shit out of me.” I yell. He chuckles. “It’s not fucking funny.” I snatch my shoes out of his hands, put them on, and start lacing them up.
“Where do you think you’re going?” He asks. “Back to my apartment. Where else?” I say. “I don’t think so.” I stand back up and put my hands on my hips. “You can’t tell me what the fuck to do, Kai. Besides I have to make sure I don’t need to be at the studio today.” I point out.
“Fine. But you’re coming back to me in a few hours.” He says. I look at him. “Fine? I’m not your girlfriend.” I say. “The fuck you aren’t.” He responds with his arms crossed.
“We will discuss this later. I don’t have time for this.” I say. I go to walk out the door but he blocks my path. “You’re not leaving until we talk about this.” He says.
“There’s nothing left to discuss, Kai.” I say. I try to find a way past him and I let out a frustrated breath. “You know, you’re cute when you’re upset, Lana.” He says. I roll my eyes.
“I have places to be, Kai. Get the fuck out of my way.” I say. He leans down and captures my chin in his fingers. I look up at him and he smirks. I involuntarily shudder.
“Look at me when you say that you don’t want this. Want me.” He says. “I don’t.” I reply, staring up into his icy blue eyes almost hidden by the shaggy length of his hair which I love but won’t care to admit.
“Say it again without shaking.” He responds. “You’re arrogant, you know that?” I ask. “And you’re breathing in a way that makes it seem like, I’ve already won this.” He says. Then he presses his lips to mine.
I pull back. “We will discuss this later. I need to go.” I say. He lets his hand hover for a couple of seconds and he pulls back. “I’ll pick you up at your place in a few hours. I have somewhere I want to take you.” He says.
“Fine. But what if I am at the studio today?” I ask. He contemplates his answer. “I’ll take you tomorrow as soon as they open.” He responds. “Okay. I’ll see you later.” I say. I slip past him and he grabs my hand.
“Lana?” He asks. I turn back to look at him. “Don’t leave me again.” He responds. I hold my breath for a few seconds. “I won’t.” I respond and he lets go of my hand.
I shut his door behind me. Fuck. I’m in trouble now. His words are starting to affect me in ways that they shouldn’t. This is exactly what I wanted to avoid.
I turn around and put my hands on the door. I take a shaky breath. It’s been five years. Kai isn’t Blake. I let out the breath and place my forehead on the door. Closing my eyes, I try to calm myself.
Once I feel like I am calm enough to drive, I lift my forehead from the door, open my eyes and take my hands off the door. I head to my car and I sit there for a few minutes before leaving.
I make it to my apartment sometime after one. I get home and check my answering machine. Finn left a message. “Hey, Lana. The first production day starts this evening. We need you to come by the studio at two today for a fitting.”
Shit. I have to leave right now. I quickly change. I mostly just change into some jeans. I tie my flannel around my waist and I leave everything else on. I brush my hair and practically run out the door.
I jump back into my car and drive twenty minutes to the studio.
It’s a good thing they’re not too far from my apartment.
I run inside. I trip and someone catches me.
“First you bump into me and spill coffee, now you’re tripping over your feet.
If I didn’t know any better I’d think you’re clumsy. ” A voice says.
Of course it would be Liam to catch me. I groan. “I’m okay. You didn’t have to catch me.” I say. “I also couldn’t just watch you fall on your face.” He points out. Damn it, I hate that he’s right.
I pout and realize he’s still holding onto me. “You can let me go now.” He smirks. Even his smirk is cute. It’s almost familiar. I can’t place where I might’ve seen a similar smirk. I shake myself out of my thoughts.
Liam lets go. “I don’t know, maybe, I should hold your hand and make sure you don’t trip over anything else.” His shoulder bumps into mine and I shove him playfully.
“If I didn’t know any better, I’d say, you’re developing feelings.” I joke. He winks at me. I feel my heart start to beat a little too fast. I bite my lip. He interlaces his hand in mine, the warmth is nice.
“We have to act the part, you know? We’re love interests in this movie.” He shoots me a smile. My stomach flutters. That’s right. We’re playing love interests in the movie. I forgot. How could I have forgotten that little detail?
He squeezes my hand. I let out a little squeak. “You’re not nervous are you? It’s just acting, Lana.” He laughs. I smile and try to laugh it off.
We make it into the auditorium. We decide to sit on the stage together. No one has made it in here yet. I guess I didn’t realize Liam and I made it just before two. He lets go of my hand and puts a hand on my thigh.
I turn to look at him. “Has anyone told you how beautiful your eyes are?” His question catches me off guard and it equally hits home. Blake used to. “Yeah. A long time ago.” I drop the subject by looking away.
He slides his hand further up my thigh and I let out a small moan. He leans his head close to my ear. “You’re beautiful, Lana.” I turn my head to look at him and he kisses me. I close my eyes, completely caught off guard.
He puts his other hand in my hair and tilts my head and deepens the kiss. We pull away when we hear someone clear their throat. I look to the left, into the crowd. Finn is standing there alongside a couple of people we haven’t met yet.
“Sorry, Director. We were practicing the kissing scenes.” Liam pulls away. I look at him. He shoots me a look and I nod. “Yes, the kissing scenes. They’re excellent, Finn.” I say, flustered.
Finn gives us both a look and then proceeds. “These are your makeup artists and team. You’ll both be getting fitted for costumes. Tonight is your first rehearsal and then we will start filming a handful of the scenes.”
Finn starts walking and everyone follows. Liam jumps down off the stage and he helps me off by picking me up. He sets me down, and grabs my hand.
He gently pulls me. We make it to the rest of the group. Finn explains that we each have our own personal trailers for the production. Liam leans down before we’re set to leave for our fittings. “Meet me in my trailer after we’re done.” I look up at him and he winks.
He lets go of my hand and walks off with his makeup artist and I do the same. I bite my lip. I don’t know what to do. Kai and I had sex this morning. I did tell Kai we’re not together. Maybe I shouldn’t feel guilty.
Liam might be good for me. I push my conflicting thoughts away for the time being. Maybe he knows we’re not together. He must’ve overheard me tell Kai that we’re not together. That’s the only explanation.
I just need to get through this fitting, our scenes and then we can go from there.
