Chapter Fifteen
Kayden
Kyra sits on the other end of the table. Iâve turned on the grate fires, flickering all around our table, the flames bouncing off her flushed cheeks and spreading warmth across the balcony. The autumn evening is cold, but the fires keep it at bay⦠the same way Iâll always keep the nastiness of life away from my woman, protecting her no matter what.
She makes my body stir as she looks down at the menu.
When we returned to the apartment, she excused herself and went into the bedroom. She emerged in a form hugging black dress, her hair tied up in a bun, pulled back to show her features. Sheâs all the more beautiful for not wearing makeup, prompting her to look even more innocent, radiant, and mine.
âDo you like it?â she asks, gaze aimed at the floor. âI thought since this is, you know, sort of a date⦠Iâd put some effort in.â
My answer comes in the form of an embrace. I crush her against me, finding her lips and kissing her frantically, almost desperately. Every second spent close to her is like a physical trial as I fight the urge to grab her and drag her into the bedroom.
Breaking the kiss off, I keep my hands on her hips for just a moment longer. âI love it. You look beautiful. Perfect.â
Sitting at the table she looks up at me from her menu, eyes shining in the firelight. âIâm not sure what to get.â
âGet whatever you want. Itâs my treat.â
âI was thinking about the burger, butâ¦â
I narrow my eyes. No fucking way.
âYour body is perfect, Kyra. Your hips are downright mind-blowing. Your gorgeous round ass drives me insane. Everything about your body shape makes me want to claim you, each and every second of the day. Please never doubt how beautiful you are.â
She flinches, as though the force of my words hit her like a blow to the chest. âWow, Kayden. I didnât know you were a mind reader. How did you know I was thinking about that?â
âI guess Iâm getting good at reading you,â I smirk. âIt hurts me that youâd ever feel the need to doubt yourself. Youâre so damn captivating.â
âNot many people would agree with you.â
âGood,â I growl, realizing Iâm getting dangerously close to revealing the truth here.
But isnât that what I promised, when she agreed to have dinner with me? That I would try to explain?
I remember what Jack said about holding off until after the show. But this evening was another dose of hell. I had to play a blind-date-style game with all five contestants, as I tried to guess whose answers belonged to who. I failed miserably, once again showing how little I give a damn about this show.
âI donât want anyone else to find you attractive. If the rest of the world is too stupid to see how undeniably gorgeous you are, that means I get you all to myself.â
âEven if I canât, yet I meanâ¦â
Reaching across the table, I take her hand, reminding myself to be gentle.
