I felt it in the way he kissed me because I’ve never been kissed like that—longed for. Needed. And I knew I had to give him the opportunity to take it all back if he couldn’t handle more. As my dad warned me, Kai gets attached, but I… I don’t. We stand at our respective room doors, each of us taking our time pulling out our key cards. “So…” Kai finally blurts. “So…” There’s a light tug at the corner of his lips, a bit of a stain from my lipstick there too, but he keeps his eyes down on the card in his hand, twirling it between his fingers. “Thanks for a fun night.”
