Kissing Kaiden might have been one of the most twisted decisions of my life. The more wrong it felt, the more it stirred something deep inside of me, like a swarm of butterflies trapped in my chest, frantic and desperate to escape. My hands moved to his hair, uncertain at first, but then fisted in it as if anchoring thyself to him. His hand cupped my face, firm, almost possessive, and he kissed me with an intensity that left no room for hesitation, no space for doubt. It was like he was trying to pull something from me, to make me feel everything at once. It was reckless, the kind of kiss that made me question every rule I thought I knew.
I pulled away, my breath shallow, my lungs aching for air that didn’t feel like it would come. The warmth of his lips lingered on mine, a gentle burn that didn’t fade even as 1 gasped for control. My hands were pressed against his chest, feeling the frantic thud of his heartbeat beneath the fabric, matching the wild rhythm of my own. My head spun, dizzy and heavy, as if the world had tilted off its axis. I couldn’t tell where the ground was anymore.
There was a warmth spreading through me, a strange kind of numbness that I couldn’t escape. It was like a drug, something I didn’t want but couldn’t resist. It dulled the sharp edges of everything, everything I had tried to avoid. Everything that had hurt. Instead, I was filled with something soft, yet dangerous. I wanted to push it away, to hold on to the fragments of myself that I could still recognize, but the feeling of him, of us, left me completely lost.
I licked my lips, tasting him still, and then I slurred, words tumbling out, raw and unfiltered. “In my life…” I scoffed, pain loading in my words. “Affection is so rare that I kissed the earth’s most forbidden man just because he asked if I was okay.”
I could see the flicker in his eyes, a flash of something dimming I couldn’t place. Hurt? Disappointment? It wasn’t easy to tell through the veil of my intoxication. But there was something there in the air between us–something that made my heart twist in ways I didn’t want it to.
“You’re still intoxicated,” Kaiden said, his voice tight with frustration as he took a step back. His body was tense, like he was bracing himself for something he didn’t want to face. His eyes stayed locked on mine, and I could see the mix of confusion and concern behind them. “You need to go back to your room, Introvert.” His words were firm, leaving no room for
argument.
“Nooooo!” I slurred. “I want to continue.” My voice was weak, but there was a determination in it I couldn’t ignore. I reached for his face, my hands unsteady, and I pouted my lips, hoping he’d kiss me again, desperate for that warmth.
“For the fuck’s sake, Lucy,” he muttered and before I could respond, he moved with an ease that left me no time to react. In one swift motion, he swept my legs off the ground, lifting me onto his shoulder like I weighed nothing, turning everything upside down.
“What are you doing?” I said, struggling as I wiggled my legs, trying to drop down. “Let go of me! Did you hear me? Let go of me!” I hit his back repeatedly with my fists.
I am stupid. Why did I even struggle? There was no way I could ever win against Kaiden in terms of physical strength.
He swung the door to my room open and approached the bed before dropping me on it with no mercy.
“I hate you!” I yelled as he showed me his back and was about to leave.
Seemed like my words triggered him because he halted in his tracks and turned around, bending down and leaning on the bed. His hand beside my face, firmly against the mattress. “Good. Keep hating me. Because I swear. If you ever kiss me again…” He paused, his voice loading with warnings and chills. “I will fuck you until you go senseless.”
Though it was a warning, my intoxicated ears heard it as a hint, a hint that he is desperately wanting me to kiss him so that he can technically get consent to do the things that he had always threatened to do with me.
“Really?” I asked, my voice full of dare. “Let’s see if you are true to your words.” I wrapped my hands around his neck and pulled him closer to me, eventually making his lips fall on mine and kissing him again, daring him to fulfill his thrilling promises.

He pulled back, his breath coming in sharp gasps, his chest rising and falling as if he were fighting against the storm brewing within him. “Jesus, introvert,” he muttered, the words barely escaping his lips before he crashed into me again, his kiss fierce and demanding, a reflection of the tempest that raged between us.
His kiss was exactly the kind that could make anyone lose themselves and go senseless but I fought to hold onto my consciousness, knowing full well that I was being greedy. I craved more–not just the kiss, but the overwhelming sensation of him taking me, fucking me until I couldn’t think, until I go senseless and couldn’t remember anything but him.
The star–shaped candies had given me a brief escape, a moment of
ess, but now they were losing their sweetness. The
mask was slipping, and with it, the pain I had been desperately running from began to resurface. I wasn’t ready to face it-
not yet.
I wanted him to do exactly what he had threatened. I needed him to fuck me until I was senseless, so that the only thing left in my mind would be the feel of him inside me, a distraction from the chaos I couldn’t escape.
