Emily Ashworth is just getting settled into college, making new friends, when all of sudden her entire life changes. Who would have thought, the town sociopath would be the one to help her through everything when she needed it most...

"What...?" Emily squeaked, pulling herself into an upright position on the seat and looking around anxiously. "You heard me." He replied in a gruff voice. God he was so hot... no, no Emily. She jumped up from her seat and edged away from him. "I need to go find the others. They'll be wondering where I..." she turned and started walking away. Kai moved towards her, grabbing her arm and turning her to face him.
"Emily." He looked straight into her eyes. Her breath caught in her throat as she stared back at him. Those gorgeous, blue-grey eyes, sparkling under the moonlight. Could he be any more perfect? But he wasn't perfect. Perfect looking, sure. But he was far from perfect. She shook herself out of her thoughts and realised he was still looking at her. "What were you thinking?" He asked her softly. "I don't know what you mean..." she muttered, almost under her breath. "Just then. You were thinking about something." He still had his hand on her arm. She glanced down at it and he suddenly realised and let go. "I was thinking this is a really really bad idea Kai." She looked down at the ground. Her feet shifting from one side to the other. She felt a soft touch on her chin as he lifted her face up to look at him again. He was even closer now. He didn't say anything. He kept his fingers on her chin and lifted his other hand up to softly rush against her cheek. "Kai..." "I won't do anything unless you want me to Emily." He said quietly, his hand still on her cheek. It felt so warm. She expected him to have rough hands. She wasn't sure why. She definitely wasn't expecting them to be this soft and warm.
That's when she realised she was starting to feel Kai's emotions again. It was a mixed bag. He seemed calm, but anxious. Relaxed, but scared. She lifted her hand up to gently touch his neck, still looking into his eyes. Was she really going to do this. This would change everything. Was she willing to mess up what was starting to become a half decent friendship because she couldn't control her emotions? Could she trust him with her feelings? With her heart? So many things were rushing through her mind right now. Why did she have to overthink everything?! "Stop thinking." He said, almost as if he had read her mind. "I'm not..." "Yes you are. Your brain is working overtime trying to work out whether this is something you should or shouldn't do." "I can't help it. I've been hurt by so many people before Kai." "I know. And I probably can't promise you I won't do the same...." She furrowed her brows at him. He chuckled. "I'm just being honest Emily. This is all new to me too. I don't know what's going to happen but right now, I know what I want." He gently stroked the side of her face with his thumb. She felt the cold of his rings softly grazing over her skin.
His eyes were sparkling, they looked like they were filled with a thousand shimmering stars. She could feel the warmth of his breath on her face. Without even thinking anymore, she wrapped her hands around his neck and pulled his lips to hers. When they touched she felt a million sparks through her entire body. It was as if he had ignited something she'd been holding back for so long. The kiss was soft but needy. Like they both had been waiting forever to do this. She played gently with the hair at the back of his head as she let herself melt into the kiss. His hands moved from her face to her waist, pulling her body as close to his as he could get it. He could feel the same sensation as Emily. Sparks. He'd never felt that before. They hadn't noticed but the flames on the tiki torches dotted around the garden had grown by at least a foot. Shooting upwards towards the sky like a flare.
