her at first. He just continued the assault on her mouth.
    She pushed against him causing him to break the kiss. “Lukas, move,” she pleaded and Kai felt like a slave to her demand. He began to move slowly inside of her. They didn’t kiss again. Instead, Kai just stared down as she slowly came apart under him.
    “Wow.” They breathed together before laughing. He pulled out of her and tucked her close to him.
    “You’re staying?” Kai knew she was surprised because he never stayed the night at her place if he wanted her all night she came to him.
    “Tonight, I am.” He kissed her forehead, before closing his eyes. The day’s events were flying through his mind. Why a kidnapping? Why did he go along with it? Kai realized that maybe things weren’t what they seemed to be. He had no choice, he had to play the game still until the bitter end, but never again would Gloria be a pawn. She was his and she was going to soon realize that.

Gloria
    She stirred to find herself still in the arms of Kai Lukas. “Mmm...” he moaned and she smiled.
    “I need to get ready for work.” He nodded and released her.
    “I’ll take you and then tonight you come to me. I’ll make sure you have a car.” She leaned down and kissed his lips briefly.
    “Sounds amazing.” She smiled heading for the shower. She secretly hoped he would join her, but knew that wasn’t probably wasn’t a great idea. When she emerged from the shower he was no longer in her room but she heard noise coming from the kitchen.
    “So are you a gourmet cook?” She chuckled.
    “Fuck no! But I hold my own.” He laughed leaving the kitchen and moving towards her. She laughed as he moved towards her like a lion on the prowl. “Good morning, doll,” he said, gently kissing her cheek.
    “Good morning, Lukas,” she answered, returning his cheek kiss.
     
    Kai
    They walked into the diner and Kai saw Bethany immediately. He knew Raiden would hear soon enough that he was still bringing Gloria to work, and strangely it didn’t bother him, let him know. He shifted his glance from Bethany back to Gloria. “Bye,” he said before softly kissing her lips. He found this new softness even more of a turn on than being hard and rough.
    “Bye, Lukas. See you later?” She smiled at him.
    He winked, “You know I’ll be waiting,” he responded before leaving her to her work.
    As he exited the diner his phone rang. “Hi, dad,” he answered on a small groan.
    “Where the fuck are you?!” he snapped.
    “On my way home,” he answered.
    “Where the hell did you stay last night?” he hollered.
    “With a friend.” Kai was going to be honest but vague.
    “Get your ass home now!” his father snapped before ending their call.
    “Yes sir,” he muttered to himself. He drove towards the house, unsure of how many questions he would be able to handle from his father. Things were changing for Kai, even if only slowly.
     
    Gloria
    Gloria watched Bethany escape out the back door. She knew she saw her walk in with Kai and she questioned the things he had said to her last night. Maybe she was a pawn. As she got close to the door she heard.
    “Kai’s bringing her to work still.” Was she talking with Raiden? Why did they care if Kai was bringing her to work? “For sure, Raiden. Got to get back to work.”
    Gloria backed up from the door when Bethany answered the call. She was pissed she didn’t like being talked about. It was something that happened a lot before she left her mother and something that started not long after she moved into Aishan. She had dealt with it her whole life, but it didn’t get easier, luckily for her the bitch was easily found in these situations now.
    “Talking to your boyfriend?” she questioned with a hiss.
    “No, Raiden had a question.” Gloria was surprised at how easily Bethany answered that.
    “He doesn’t love you,” she spat. Gee, where had she heard that? Everything from the last two nights flew at her. Kai admitted he didn’t
