“Because I’ll stop this elevator and start right here, and I know how much you hate these things.” If the room wasn’t twenty-four floors up, she would’ve insisted on the stairs. Lies. If I weren’t with her, she would have taken the stairs.
“You know, you’ve seen me come twice now, and I’ve never seen you. Only listened.” Those eyes widened to big, brown saucers. “I could get on my knees for you.” She lifted a shoulder. “Just to take the edge off.”
The elevator dinged, saving me from a viral internet scandal. Security Footage Leaked of Lead Singer Getting Blown in Downtown Hotel. I scooped Kai up in one arm, letting her wrap her legs around me and cling to my shoulders while I lifted our suitcase in the other hand and walked us down the hall. She made a show of reaching into my front pocket for the room key, prodding far deeper than she needed to. I groaned and pushed through the door of the room. The suitcase dropped from my fingers, and I set her down at the foot of the bed.
We were finally alone. Truly alone.
I just stared at her. I just fucking stared at her like a tween who had no idea how to go about their first kiss. She stared back, her thumbnail having returned to her teeth, until she took both my hands and sat me on the edge of the bed. Kai crossed her legs and faced me. I pulled one foot off the floor to place it in front of me and turned to face her as well.
I cocked my head and smiled as if to say, What are we? Kids practicing how to kiss at a sleepover?
She shrugged, giggling at my silent question.
“First, I just want to kiss my best friend,” she whispered.
It was perfect. Private, special, nerve-racking. I couldn’t have imagined a better way to do it. “Me too.”
She took off her sweatshirt to get more comfortable, to get ready, and faced me once again, swiping her hair out of her face. I was living my dream. I wanted to cry. I…was. I… I noticed a warm drip rolling down the side of my cheekbone. Kai noted it as well, and the silver that lined her gaze pooled just enough for a tear to roll alongside her nose.
I placed my hands on either side of that beautiful face, and she draped hers around my neck, and I fucking did it. I kissed the girl. My chest cavity damn near exploded as my lips touched hers. She took me in, leaning into me from her cross-legged position. Her mouth was quick to open for me, and I wrapped her tongue in my own. She tasted as sweet as she looked, like everything I’d ever imagined she’d be and so much more, and showed no signs of wanting to stop anytime soon.
Good.
“I love you,” she murmured as she climbed over me, pushing me back on the bed, unrelenting with her delicious kiss.
With a hand weaved through her hair and another on her back, I reciprocated. “I love you, Kai. More than anything in the world.”
“That much?”
The pain in my jeans was growing heavier, taunting me, reminding me that I had years’ worth of praise to catch up on with this beautiful girl. This hotel room was about to see some very shameful things. “Beyond measure.”

Kai
I couldn’t stop. Not that I wanted to, but if I’d needed to, I would’ve been in deep shit. Our cute, high school kiss quickly turned into something ravenous. But between tongue licks and lip bites, he asked me to do the impossible. “I need you to do something for me.”
His delicious voice only made me press down harder. In lieu of a formal answer, I offered a mhm into his mouth.
“I need you to stand up for me.” He couldn’t contain his desire either, his tongue somehow working mine even around his declarations. “I want you to stand so I can look at you.”
I hummed another mhm, but our activities didn’t slow in the slightest. I couldn’t bring myself to do it, and he only groaned in response. I told myself I was going to get to it eventually, but it seemed his patience got the best of him. A growl surged from his chest as he pushed me away, grabbing me as he stood and walking me to the nearest wall, hands gripping my waist.
“You told me you won’t take no for an answer,” I teased as my back thumped against the surface. “Don’t you think that’s a little forceful?”
He tilted his head, a soft, amused curl on his lips. “I warned you fairly. You sealed your fate with your answer.”
“So, I’m yours forever?”
“Yes.” He was millimeters away from me, his voice a soft breath on my skin.
I grinned. “No.”
His eyebrows tweaked. “No?”
I shook my head. “I changed my mind.”
“Funny.” His fingers dragged slowly up the side of my waist, tucking under my top. “You lost that privilege when you told me I could keep you. And I seem to remember you calling me a dick, as well. You will pay for that.” In one quick movement, he pulled my shirt off me. Without that top, I stood bare-chested to him, wearing nothing more than my jeans and my sneakers. I was both embarrassed and desperate for him to look. And he did. So intently. “I’m trying to take my time with you, but you’re making it very, very hard for me.”
