TWENTY-TWO

You Have No Idea

Everything I've known up until this moment has been a lie, and I never want to go back to the way it was.

-Presley Kate

The ride to what I'm assuming is my apartment is eerily quiet. "Are we still going to the party?" I know the answer, but I ask anyway to fill the void.

I'm not ready for him to take me back home yet. I want to ask him a million questions, but his tight grip on the steering wheel reminds me that he's a category five hurricane ready to rip up the coast.

He's still pissed about Leo, I can hardly say I blame him. Does Gunner know anything about what happened tonight? It's on the tip of my tongue to ask him but I'm not a fool. He'd only ignore me again.

Gunner isn't going to be happy about me going behind their back either, but what will Daddy Dearest think when he finds out about me and Kai? Will he be mad? Or will he finally man up?

My head almost does a 360 when we drive past my street. I knew we weren't going to the party anymore, but I'd assumed he would just take me home, and that hopefully Gunner would meet us there. "You're not taking me home?"

"Yes, I am." He replies.

"I'm not moving back to Douglas, Kai." This is beyond frustrating.

He has slipped and bumped his head if he thinks just because we had amazing sex he can dictate my life now. Nobody's dick is that good. Although, I'd like another round just to test out that theory.

"Fuck that, Pres, I don't want to be that far away from you. That's not your home anymore, but neither is your dorm."

My heart swells at his small declaration, instead of saying something embarrassing, I laugh. Which is just as embarrassing. "My name on the lease that I pay every month proves that is a lie."

Placing his hand on my upper thigh he smiles. "Yeah, well, Gunner just bought you out of your lease tonight."

"What?" They are stupid as hell if they think I'm moving to another academy. PHU is divided into three separate ones, and I’m very happy with the one I’m in. "I'm not changing academy's, Kai."

He rolls his eyes. "Yeah, no shit. You're moving in with us."

"With us? You're leaving the frat house? Kai, we've only had sex one time." What even is this?

He gives me a look. "Yeah, I stay with you or Gunner most nights anyway. Basically, if you're there, I'm going to be there."

Pinching the bridge of my nose, I exhale deeply. "Kai, this is a lot. Things are changing way too fast. "

"Pres, I told you before I fucked you that you were mine, that means where you are, I am. Got it? Plus, we all work together. We can carpool and shit." His tone goes from authoritative to playful which is the Kai that I know best.

His smile is contagious, well almost. He's always been able to read a room, and he's trying to calm me down before I lose it.

"Kai, if I live with you two Neanderthals, then how am I supposed to have any semblance of a social life." My breathing hitches, I want them, but I don't want to lose myself in the process.

He turns his thousand watt smile on me, nearly killing me from the heat of it. "You'll still have a social life, you'll be with me, which means things are about to get wild for you."

"What does that mean, Kai?"

"It means that you're going to become as obsessed with me as I am with you." He shrugs, like this is normal conversation.

I am obsessed with everything Donovan brother related, but I don't say that. I'd never have the nerve. "Yeah, maybe."

"I got your maybe, Princess." He mumbles.

Studying his profile, I smile. Why does he have to be so sexy? My muscles ache from having sex for the first time, but I want him again. My brain is in some smut filled overload.

Will Gunner be as dominant? Will his cock be as thick as Kai's? I'd like to find out. Being with only one of them is not an option for me. I need them both to survive.

What will our new relationship even look like? Gunner is my professor and my superior at work so we'd have to hide everything between us.

That'll be hard, because I don’t want to hide how I feel about him anymore. Yet, there would be no way around it. After graduation both of those stipulations would be lifted.

As far as Wonderland is concerned I could transfer to another department when I get my degree. I'd miss working with my guys, but it would be worth it in the end.

"Are you still mad at me for planning to hook up with Leo?" Part of me regrets the words as soon as they leave my mouth.

On the other hand, I need to know. As much as he hates when I'm mad at him, I hate it even more when the roles are reversed.

He's my best guy friend, and this is new territory for us. I'll feel better once we set some ground rules, but I need him to not be mad at me for that conversation.

"I'm still upset, but not really mad any more. Presley, you don't realize it yet, but you've started a war. He's not going to take you choosing us over him lightly. There's something about that asshole that's just not right. Like his elevator doesn't quite go all the way to the top."

I nod, even though I think he's being a little melodramatic. Leo made me feel uneasy at one point during our beach walk. During that moment, I could sense that something was hidden there beneath his surface. I thought it was a figment of my imagination, but maybe it wasn’t.

I can feel the heat of Kai’s gaze, he knows there’s something I’m not telling him. I really wish they weren’t as in tune with my feelings as they are. It’s just not fair that they can read me like a book when I can’t read them as easily.

Blowing some hair out of my face to buy some time, I try not to panic. I don’t have a problem voicing my concerns about what happened at the beach, but If I don't tell him about Leo calling me a whore, Declan will.

Kai already broke his nose tonight, and that could get him in enough trouble. His coach isn’t one for bullshit.

Maybe kicking his ass will be enough to satisfy him, because there isn't much else he can do besides kill him. Which is crazy talk.

Kai swerves, and I finally meet his look of concern. “Can you please keep your eyes on the road?”

His voice is a combination of lethal and fuck around and find out. "Did he hurt you?"

"No, Kai! Of course he didn't, but he did scare me during our walk on the beach. I chalked it up to my imagination, but if you sense it, then maybe I really should stay away from him."

"The fuck! You're staying away from him because if I catch him around you again, I'll kill him."

I laugh in response until I look over at his face. I don't think he's joking. "Kai, you can't say things like that. What if someone else heard you?”

He shrugs. "I mean it, Presley. I’m going to kill him, and trust me, they won't ever find the body."

I roll my eyes. My Kai wouldn't do that. "You're a psychopath."

"You have no idea." He whispers.

I ignore that, because I have no clue how to deal with that statement. "What do I do if he tries to talk to me?"

His shoulders stiffen so I continue before he becomes all alphahole again. "Obviously, I'm never going to try and hook up with him again, so don't get your panties twisted. However, I don't want to be mean. What do I say to him? Let me remind you, that crazy or not, he has done nothing wrong."

"You say, walk away, Bruh. My boyfriends are fucked up in the head, and they will kill you." Thankfully, we're at a stoplight, because his gaze never wavers. The sincerity there sends a shiver down my spine.

He can't mean that, can he? That would make him crazy as the murderers he questions during his shifts at Wonderland.

No, Kai's not like that. He wouldn't. No, I refuse to believe that even for one second. Kick his ass, a million times yes, kill him, no, he wouldn’t. But maybe I’m wrong?

“I do have something else to tell you before Declan can, but I’m not saying anything until we’re with Gunner, because you’re being weird.” I stare him down until he’s the first to turn away.

“You realize Gunner is crazier than I am, right?”

“No, I don’t realize that, and quite frankly I think that’s bullshit.”

He chuckles. “Okay, keep telling yourself that.”
