Title: My Alphas' Dark Desires (Kai x Valerie)
****************
CHAPTER 305
~Valerie's POV~
The moment he said it, something in me snapped.
"Though we are tall, muscular, devilishly handsome mortals who look great shirtless in kitchens," he described shamelessly.
Before I could think, I scooped up the cold water from my glass and flung it straight at his chest.
Splash.
"Valerie!" he gasped, flinching slightly as the water soaked through his shorts and ran down his abs.
I burst into laughter, nearly dropping my spoon.
Kai looked down at himself, eyes widening at the growing wet patch on his shorts. "You drenched me!"
"Oops." I grinned, no remorse in sight. "Guess you are mortal after all."
"Seriously, Val?" he groaned. "Now it looks like I pissed myself."
I laughed harder, clutching my stomach.
Kai grinned, then suddenly bent down and peeled the now-soaked shorts away from his skin in one smooth move. My jaw dropped and I froze.
He stood tall, proud, and very shirtless, wearing nothing but blue latex boxer briefs that left little to the imagination.
Tight. Shiny. Stretching over a rather notable bulge—even in its soft state.
Oh. Wow.
He followed my gaze, unapologetic. My eyes betrayed me.
Even soft, his manhood looked… promising.
I clenched my thighs instinctively.
"Kai!" I hissed. "Why—why would you—?!"
"You've seen me in less," he said simply, stepping closer. "And harder."
"That was during a duel!" I protested. I swallowed, struggling to think. "The circumstances were different!"
Kai raised a brow. "Different how?"
I shifted awkwardly, trying not to let my eyes drift again. "That was during sparring. In a battle. Adrenaline. Tension. Distraction tactics."
"Right. And now? What condition are you in now, Val?" he asked, voice silky and dangerous, clearly fishing.
"I'm not saying anything," I mumbled.
But he was already grinning. "Valerie."
"Don't..."
"You just said it's different now. Because you're in heat?"
My heart stopped.
"I didn't say that," I muttered.
"Didn't have to," he said, stepping closer.
I backed away, cheeks burning. "Never mind." I turned, trying to escape this mess. "I'm going back to my room..."
Kai's hand shot out, gently catching my wrist, and pulling me back.
"Kai, don't—"
He didn't listen.
But then he stepped into my space. His hand came up to cradle my face with both hands and his lips claimed mine with such intensity it stole the breath right out of my lungs—hot, demanding, and devastatingly perfect.
I barely had time to react, to process, before his tongue slid against mine, coaxing a moan from somewhere deep in my chest.
I moaned into his mouth before I could stop myself.
Kai deepened the kiss, tongue sliding against mine as his hands gripped my waist. I melted against him, my body betraying me completely.
And I didn't care. I kissed Kai back with everything I had.
Kai's hand splayed over the small of my back, tugging me flush against his chest. I could feel every hard ridge of him—heat radiating between us like a living, breathing thing.
I let my fingers trail over his bare skin, his abs tightening under my touch as I clung to him, nails lightly dragging down his sides.
Kai growled softly into the kiss, the sound vibrating against my lips, into my throat, and down to the throb between my thighs.
He moved one hand up, cupping the side of my face while the other slid down, curling around the top of my ass, squeezing like he wanted to brand the shape of me into his memory.
My knees nearly buckled as I gasped into his mouth, but he swallowed it like a man starved.
I felt myself dissolving, completely, utterly into him.
My hands tangled in his hair, tugging gently as our kiss turned frantic, messy, greedy. His hips pressed forward, and I felt the outline of his hard and thick cock against my stomach.
I swallowed, barely stopping for a second, but then the kiss ended too suddenly.
I was breathless, my lips were tingling, and my heart was racing. But my pride? Oh, she woke up swinging.
Without thinking, I grabbed the nearby jug of cold water, still half full, and turned it upside down over his head.
Kai flinched, water soaking his curls, trailing down his neck, his chest, and finally…
"Holy shit!" he gasped, jerking back as the water soaked his boxers. The latex clung hard to his skin now, turning translucent and leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination.
My eyes darted down to his semi-hard cock, and holy mother of… even half-hard, it was like a threat.
Kai looked at me with mock betrayal, water dripping down his lashes. "Really?"
"You deserved it," I said, arms crossed, though my voice betrayed me by cracking halfway through.
He looked down at himself and grimaced. "Now it really looks like I peed myself."
I snorted. "Then maybe stop being such a cocky…"
Kai did the most shocking thing before I could even process it.
He moved swiftly, picking up the jug of water and turning it over my head. My mouth opened as beads of cold, chilly water rushed down my body, soaking me all the way through.
As soon as he dropped the glass, my wild eyes held his stare, and gosh, if looks could kill, I'd be kicking his butt by now.
"Now we're even, babe. Strip."
"What?!"
Kai stood up straight, a serious look replacing his playful expression. "Strip. Come on, fair's fair."
I glared. "Are you insane?"
Kai nodded. "Probably. But you're gonna be out of those clothes soon anyway."
"What?" Before my brain could catch up, Kai lunged.
"Don't you… Kai!"
He scooped me into his arms effortlessly, bridal style. I yelped, kicking at him. "Put me down! You lunatic!"
"Nope," he said cheerfully. "You started it."
"Kai, seriously… don't you dare…"
He kicked the door open with his foot, jogging straight toward the backyard. The evening air hit my damp skin, goosebumps rising instantly.
And then… my eyes spotted his goal. Oh shit!
"Kai, no…!"
Splash!
We hit the water together, making a big splash that muffled my scream. It was shockingly cold, so cold that it stole the breath from my lungs.
I surfaced, coughing and gasping, my hair stuck to my face, and my shirt drenched and clinging to me in a way that made me want to drown him.
"You jerk!" I shouted.
Kai surfaced next to me, laughing. "You look like a soaked kitten."
"You drenched me!"
"You drenched me first," he shot back, eyes dancing all over me. "Remember?"
I lunged for him, splashing water into his face.
Kai gasped, flailing dramatically. "Oh no. I've been attacked. The horror!"
I couldn't help the laugh that bubbled out. We wrestled through the water, splashing, pushing, and grabbing at each other's arms like kids.
But I was panting now, wet clothes sticking uncomfortably, clinging to all the wrong places.
I groaned. "Ugh. This is gross." I stepped out on the little stair leading in and out of the water.
Kai tilted his head. "You want out?"
I sighed and peeled off my singlet, tossing it onto the edge of the pool. My soaked shorts followed, leaving me in nothing but a white lace bra and a matching pair of barely-there panties.
Kai's eyes looked like they'd seen the best ghost ever and just stared, openly gawking at me.
Thanks to being wet, the lace bra and panties did little to help me cover or hide my womanly goodies.
His jaw actually slackened.
"Okay, stop looking like that," I muttered, wading back into the water.
"Like what?" he asked innocently.
"Like you're two seconds from combusting."
He chuckled lowly and swam closer. "Well, you did say you were not going to strip, and look, you did. Told you it would happen."
I rolled my eyes and splashed him again.
He caught my waist under the water and gently pulled me closer, his fingers spreading slightly as they settled at my hips.
His grip was firm but not forceful. Heat bloomed through me despite the cool water. "You've been a bad girl, mate," he murmured, brushing his lips just against my cheek.
I froze. My hands lifted to brace against his chest, but I didn't push him away.
"You've been bad," he repeated in a lower voice, closer now. "Letting Dristan have all the fun. Eating you out like that."
My breath caught. I knew I moaned at night, but how'd he guess that was what we were doing?
My thighs clenched on instinct, heart slamming against my ribs.
I bit my lip hard enough to sting, trying to keep the moan from escaping me.
Kai's hand slid up from my waist to the side of my breast, his thumb grazing the curve of it over the fabric.
I gasped. "Kai… how…"
"How do I know, you mean?" he murmured into my ear.
Before I could answer, his other hand came down hard… Smack! His hand landed on my ass under the water.
I yelped, jerking against him. "Gods, you…"
He held my gaze now, eyes glowing faintly with his wolf aura. "I heard you. You whispered it when I teased you. You said you were in heat."
My face burned.
"I didn't mean…"
"I want to taste you too," he said firmly. "Eat you out till you scream my name as I make you cum."
My knees weakened in the water.
"I want you to be my bad girl, Valerie."
Smack!
His hand landed on my ass again before I could respond, and I moaned, biting down on my lower lip to keep it from escaping too loud.
Then his fingers slipped beneath the waistband of my panties, between my thighs.
"Kai…" I whispered, pulse slamming into overdrive.
"I love you," he confessed in that deep but soft voice that stole all reasoning from you, "and I want you. All of you."
