Her Rebirth.-Chapter 44

Amelia internally scolded herself. How could I be so careless?

She had been so focused on Selene that she had completely overlooked Kai’s condition. Even if he had only taken a sip, the drug was still in his system, and now the symptoms were starting to show.

Feeling the weight of his body leaning against hers and the heat emitting from it, Amelia quickly made an excuse. "I’m feeling a bit tired. I’ll take my leave first."

People exchanged knowing glances, whispering about how close they seemed. Amelia ignored them, focusing only on supporting Kai, but before she could move any further, a hand grabbed her.

She turned. It was Ray.

Amelia looked at this brother of hers, he was acting really strangely. freёweɓnovel.com

First he defended her and now...

Guilt, she concluded. He must be feeling guilty after their last conversation.

"What do you want?"

Ray looked away, gritting his teeth, then asked, "When are you coming home?" His voice was low.

"Never."

Ray clenched his fist at his side.

It was to be expected. He had never treated her right anyway. So it was only natural that she refused. But still... there was this lingering hope that she’d come running back like she always did.

"If you need help ending the engagement..."

"No need," she said with a smile. "I’m happy with it."

His grip loosened. "Amelia—"

But she didn’t wait to hear the rest. She pulled her wrist free and turned away, leaving the banquet with Kai.

Once outside, she carefully carried him to one of the hotel rooms reserved for the charity event. His body felt unusually warm, his breathing was heavy, his body almost melting into hers as he nuzzled against her neck. And the way he rubbed against her, seeking relief, made suspicion creep into her mind.

The drug... it’s an aphrodisiac.

Her brows furrowed. Selene had truly gone too far.

Swiping the keycard, she pushed the door open and guided Kai inside. He barely had the strength to stand, his usually sharp eyes clouded with heat. She lowered him onto the bed, watching his chest rise and fall with heavy breaths.

"I’ll get a cold shower running for you," she said, reaching for her phone. "And I’ll call a doctor—"

But just as she turned, a firm grip caught her wrist.

"Amelia..."

She looked back.

Kai’s flushed face, his slightly disheveled hair falling over his shoulders, and the sheer vulnerability in his gray eyes made her stomach tighten. Why does he look so... strangely attractive?

She shook off the thought. Now is not the time to be a pervert, Amelia.

"I feel... hot," Kai murmured, his voice husky. "I feel really weird... like I am going to die."

Amelia softened. "I know. Just hold on, you’ll be fine soon—"

"Please, don’t go," he pleaded, his fingers tightening around hers. "Help me."

A shiver ran down her spine.

Her gaze instinctively drifted downward, and she immediately regretted it.

His arousal was painfully obvious, his trousers doing little to hide the problem. Her throat went dry.

"Please," Kai whispered again, his voice strained, his grip on her hand trembling.

Kai’s pleading expression, the way his body trembled, and the sheer vulnerability in his voice stirred something inside her, guilt.

This wasn’t his fault.

He had protected her. He had taken the risk in her place.

If not for him, she would be the one feeling like this right now.

Amelia swallowed hard. He’s in pain. That’s all this is.

With slightly shaky fingers, she reached for his belt, unbuckling it. The moment she freed him, his length bounced out, thick and swollen, veins running along its impressive length.

Amelia felt her cheeks burning as she looked at it, stunned.

It was bigger... Bigger than Aldric’s.

She quickly pushed that thought aside and wrapped her fingers around him.

Kai let out a sharp gasp, his body jerking under her touch. His breathing grew ragged, his gray eyes darkening with pleasure.

Watching his face, Amelia found herself unexpectedly drawn to the raw vulnerability in his expression, the way his lips parted, little moans spilling from them, the way his brows knitted together in bliss, the way his fingers dug into the sheets due to pleasure. It was strangely... enticing.

Amelia once again scolded herself.

Stop thinking like that. Focus.

She moved her hand, slow and careful, feeling his body tense beneath her.

She was quite knowledgeable in this, knowing the exact places to touch and the proper intensity needed. She had once practiced to pleasure Aldric, after all. But watching Kai crumble in pleasure under her hands...

As weird as it was, she liked it. She enjoyed watching him be this way, to be vulnerable under her.

But...

She shouldn’t be looking at him like this.

She shouldn’t be feeling this way.

But she couldn’t look away.

In a voice filled with desire, Kai leaned in and whispered, "I want to kiss you."

Amelia froze.

Before she could process what he had just said, Kai reached up, cupping the back of her head gently. Then he pulled her down, capturing her lips in a hot, deep kiss.

Her mind went blank.

His lips moved against hers, his tongue plunging deep into her mouth, desperate, like he wanted all of her, like he was so desperate to brand this moment into his soul.

She could also feel his restraint, the tension in his body as if he was fighting the overwhelming need clawing at him. And she wasn’t wrong.

His thoughts were currently turbulent.

I want to touch her. I want to feel her lips on me. I want to feel her insides. I want to do bad things to her...

But he couldn’t. Not now.

Amelia, still dazed from the kiss, convinced herself that this was just the effect of the drug. Nothing more.

She continued moving her hand, her own breathing slightly uneven as Kai groaned softly against her lips. The pleasure painted across his face made something stir inside her, something dangerous, something thrilling... something she didn’t want to feel.

Then, with a sharp gasp, he reached his peak, his body shuddering violently as he spilled over her fingers.

Amelia swallowed, pulling back slightly to clean away the sticky substance, thus missing the way his eyes darkened with something deeper, something far more intense... Obsession.

Kai, though still panting as if lost in his ecstasy, had a mind that was clear, clearer than it had ever been.

The only thing he felt was her.

The only thing he wanted was her.

And he would do anything to keep her.

Even if it meant tricking her into touching him like this.

Even if it meant manipulating her into giving him exactly what he wanted.

He didn’t know how long this feeling would last, but he knew...

He would never let her go.

Not until he no longer felt what he felt for her.

But until then...

He wanted her . All of her.
