VERENA
As Kai led me down to his car, I learned two things: that damn General's uniform looked too good on him to wear outside of work; and it did wonders for his ass as much as it did sculpting the muscles of his chest.
Seeing him with the intent to really look made me realize that his uniform had multiple linings for weapons that made his body seem bulkier than it really was.
No wonder he was able to keep a dagger on him, but that wasn't all there was. I mean, I've only seen him shirtless once, but the way he wore it only made him look bigger. And more intimidating. And... something else.
Kai walked down to the side of a black Audi that opened with a chirp and opened the passenger door for me. I entered without a word, looking around the car interior as he shut the door. From the expensive-looking interface and the buttons that made it look like a spaceship, I would say that his car wasn't even on the market yet.
Seconds later, Kai entered the driver's seat and shut the door next to him harder than mine. The sound echoed through the parking garage and I turned to him, eyeing his suddenly tight face curiously.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
He exhaled. "Nothing."
Kai talked as if he wasn't allowed to speak more than one word. I was inclined to ask again, but I was sure he was going to just give me the same clipped reply and completely shut me out.
So I let it be. Kai seemed thankful for my silence and reached across me to pull the seatbelt over my chest. I turned to him, noticing how close he was to me suddenly. He was just about to lock my seatbelt in when he looked up and returned the heat of his gaze.
Kai blinked and sighed. The sound of him letting go of the seatbelt and the buckle hitting the window became the least of my worries when he cursed under his breath and grabbed my nape without warning, pulling me to him and bringing my lips crashing into his in an unforgiving kiss.
"Fuck," he muttered in between before devouring me once more. He kissed like a man deprived of food and oxygen for so long, and I was his only source of survival. My hands ran through his hair as his explored my body, one gripping my neck and the other stroking bare skin outlining my spine.
Every moan, he deepened the kiss. The metal pang of blood soon pervaded my mouth and I realized late that I'd bitten him, but it only prompted him to squeeze my skin and pull me in tighter.
When we pulled away, we were panting so heavily from the way we stole each other's liberty to breathe. Without a word, Kai reached out to put my seatbelt on and his own, starting the car and driving out.
I looked out the window in an attempt to stifle the noise in my head, as well as the ache of my entire body. It felt like I was on fire. When I turned to check, Kai was already lowering the temperature of the air conditioning.
"Fucking New York traffic," he cursed quietly. I crossed my arms and grinned at him. Noticing me, he scoffed and rubbed his forehead back-and-forth. "Don't look at me like that."
"Like what?" I asked cluelessly.
"Like you want me to pull you to the backseat and fuck you senseless until my come's running down your thigh."

Romance"What do you want?" he whispered. I knew I should've stopped then. A part of me wanted him so bad, which was why I knew I shouldn't let myself have him. The rational side of me was begging for me to stop. "You," I whispered. It was too bad my desire...
