The Freedom Search: Kai & Gloria's Story (Search Series Book 4) (4 page)

Kai

He watched as Raiden stalked past him the new girl in tow. He was talking to her about something. Kai wished he could read lips. All he did know was Raiden looked flustered and nervous. “Good job, doll,” he muttered, turning to see her walking towards the car. The minute he saw her; his cock jumped. He put things off this morning to take care of business, but now he was going to take care of them both.

She climbed in the car silently and reached for her seatbelt.
“Confrontation complete,” she said to him not looking his way.

“From the looks of it you did well. Did you get a name, doll?” he questioned.

She nodded, “Her name is Tai. I didn’t get a last name.” He leaned over and kissed her cheek. “Good job, doll, that’s all I need.” He purred, running his hand up her legs and parting them.

She shivered under his touch and that both thrilled him and amused him. He was the cat and she was mouse. He was ready to play. “I’m going to reward you now.” He whispered against her ear taking a small nibble before he released her and roared the car to life.

She sighed, “I could use some rewarding now.” She whispered. The tone in her voice worried him. Did she feel bad about the confrontation?

“Doll, I promise I’ll make it all better,” he said, keeping his eyes on the road. Hopefully once he got her back to her apartment he could make her forget. That was his game. Play her and then make her forget.

Gloria

The drive back to her apartment was torturous. Kai Lukas had a way about him that made her forget everything else. Made her forget that she had a thousand questions for him. Ones he would never answer, but she still had them. One touch from him set her on fire; everything else seemed to vanish.

“We’re here, doll,” he said in his Kai Lukas way. She swallowed this was what she wanted this morning when they made their deal. This was what she needed.

“So, Lukas, am I going to be romanced or just fucked?” she questioned on a grin. She was joking with him, sort of.

“I don’t do romance doll you know that.” She nodded at him and climbed out of the car. She wanted more, she needed more, but for now she would have to take what she could get.

She walked in front of him and could feel his eyes on her ass. “Like what you see, Lukas?” she asked as she stuck the key in the door. He didn’t respond, instead he pulled her against his chest reaching around her and unlocking the door.

“Come on, doll, I have plans for you,” he muttered against her neck as he walked them forward into her apartment. She was so ready for Kai Lukas.

Kai

His cock was so ready to crawl up inside of her. He wasn’t a dummy, making that deal with her ensured he got something he needed with no strings attached, her. When this was over, when Raiden had been destroyed, Kai would walk away and get the redemption he had wanted for what seemed like an eternity now.

“Come on, doll, walk a little faster.” He chided pushing his hard cock against her back.

“Well, Lukas, if you loosened your grip I might be able to walk a little faster.” She chided back. He liked her feisty side. Most people just saw a bitch, but Kai knew that only existed to hide something else. He was good at reading that, because he had been hiding himself since the age of twenty-one.

They finally made it to her bedroom and Kai released her, pushing her to the bed. She landed on her stomach and quickly rolled to her back. “No,. back around,” he demanded. She didn’t question his order, she just obeyed. Once she was turned on her stomach again he stripped off his clothes. He crawled onto the bed kneeling next her. “On your knees,” he demanded again. She pushed on the bed and got up on her knees. “Good girl.” he muttered against her shoulder as he undid her jeans.

“Lukas,” she breathed as his hand slid against her panties.

“Easy now,” he whispered as he lifted her shirt over her head. “Bra,” he said, she reached behind her and undid the bra letting it fall off. Kai whistled, damn her breasts were perfection. “Back on your stomach, doll.” She did as she was told and he moved behind her pulling her jeans off and panties in one move.

“Lukas, I need...”

“Shhh....” he whispered, kissing up her back. He covered her with his body and slammed into her.

“God!” she cried.

He moved into her fast and hard. This was her reward. Gloria Keller was the type of girl you fucked hard. She liked it, got off on it, and Kai knew it.
“Kai, oh God...” She breathed as Kai felt her body clench around him. A few more thrusts and Kai unloaded into Gloria Keller.

He collapsed on her, “Don’t forget your pills, doll,” he reminded harshly. He hated condoms and he sure as hell had no intention of using them with her. Something about being inside her bare, made him want to fuck longer, keep the sensation going.

She stirred under him so he rolled off of her allowing her to get to her side. “I won’t, Kai,” she said, being completely serious.

“Good. I have to go. I want you to come to me tonight. I’ll send you instructions,” he said kissing her lips. She stared at him and nodded. “Later, doll,” he tossed her as he threw his clothes back on as quickly as they came off, and then he left before he crawled back inside her now.

Gloria

She listened from her room as Kai exited her apartment. She was disappointed he wasn’t staying, but thrilled he wanted her to come to him tonight. Her phone buzzed and she knew it would be her instructions.

‘Hey doll. Sorry I had to rush out.’
Kai might not be a romantic, but he was affecting her in ways she would never be able to explain.

‘It’s okay, I know you’re busy. I have to work later anyways,’
she replied.

‘Come to me after your shift is over.’
She smiled at the phone.

‘Okay I know where you live,’
she replied. She had driven by The Lukas house a lot since moving to Aishan. At first, she just admired the house and then she admired the man she saw leaving all the time, Kai Lukas.

‘Good come to the back of the house, tap on my window. It’ll be the only room with the light on.’
She wanted to ask why she was going to be coming through a window, but thought better of it. She didn’t want him angry with her question. She didn’t want him changing his mind. Secretly, this thrilled her.

She didn’t want to wash Kai Lukas off of her, but she had no choice. She had to go to work in a couple hours. The shower was warm and soothing. Kai Lukas was definitely not gentle in bed, that didn’t bother her in the least, but maybe she could ask him to take it a little easy tonight.

“Gloria, I hope you know what you are getting in to?” she asked herself as the water ran down her body. She wasn’t sure if she truly did or not, but if it meant time with Kai she would take it.

She had been trying to get into Raiden’s bed for over a year, but only because he seemed to show interest in the girls that approached him. Kai was different. He turned women away, yet always gave them that seductive smile while doing it. She took Raiden, but she always wanted Kai.

Kai

He wasn’t surprised to find his father waiting for him as he arrived home.
“Her name is Tai.” Kai said walking past his dad.

“And...?” His father called after him. Kai didn’t answer he just went to his room. He hated the control his father had over him, but reminded himself this was for redemption. He would never forget that conversation that changed everything...

‘Kai walked into the house on cloud nine. While his relationship with Raiden had strained, Bethany remained loyal to both of them. Kai wanted his longtime friend and tonight he had gotten just that. “Dad, Elder Roy, what’s going on?” Elder Roy had been playing sides since Kai was five and now, well now...Kai wasn’t sure what was going on.

“You have a meeting tomorrow,” Elder Roy stated. Kai nodded in return.

“Can’t wait. You’ve convinced me Dark Night is the only way.”

“No!” Both his father and Roy shouted.

“Son, we need you...” His father began.

“For what?” Kai questioned.

“You know Raiden better than anyone.” Kai nodded still unsure about where this was heading.

Roy placed his hands on Kai’s shoulders, “Don’t worry, Kai, I can make it right. We just need your help now.” For years they had been drumming in him that Dark Nights were the only true vampires. That it was the only way to live. That wiping out humans and half-breeds and any support for them would build a stronger community. Kai wasn’t keen on that part, but he bought into the Dark Night vampire’s lifestyle.

“So tomorrow, I stay?” He questioned making sure he had the plan correct. They both just nodded at him and Kai resigned to their wishes. “Okay, I can do that. May I be excused? Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day.”

“Sure, son.” His dad waved him away and Kai walked down the hall to his room. The Lukas family didn’t have a two-story house like the Wyrick’s or the Donald’s but what they had was posh for sure. Kai entered his room and dropped to his bed. Was he really going to not go Dark Night tomorrow? Yes, of course he was, it was requested. Roy and father said they would make things right. Kai had to trust that.

His thoughts went to Bethany, “I’m sorry, Beth. One day you’ll understand. One day we’ll both know if we were right or wrong.” He spoke to his ceiling before allowing sleep to claim him.’

Kai cursed at the memory of that night. He had been doing his father’s bidding and Roy’s for years now with nothing to show for it. “Must not let Raiden have happiness,” he muttered to himself. He glanced at his phone. Gloria would be at work for at least five hours. Maybe a nap would help clear his thoughts.
