Chapter 232 Confessions in the Rain

Chapter 232 Confessions in the Rain
Kai stood in front of Rode’s mirror, pulling the dry pants up his hips and gently running his fingers through his wet curls.

​His phone flashed on the table, and he gently turned down his phone on the table and walked over to Rode's bed.

​Saint and Baby had called and texted almost over a million times, but he could not reply, not yet.

​He lowered himself on the bed and tapped his feet on the wooden floor.

​He wasn't going to lie; he wasn't a hundred percent comfortable yet. Rode had stepped out to take a call, and he wondered what kind of call that was. He might have just brought himself to his demise, but the greater part of his logic told him to stay put and trust Rode.

​Soon the door opened and Rode stepped in, his eyes still red from crying a few minutes ago.

​He stood in front of the door and stared at Kai, long and hard.

​"You're crazy, you know that? You're really here," Rode murmured.

​"Come here," Kai patted the space beside him.

​Rode sighed; he knew he couldn't avoid speaking to Kai for long. He hoped whatever he had to say made some sense to Kai.

​He walked over and sat by Kai's side, drumming his fingers on the bed.

​"I lied..." Rode started, "Back at Anna's... You're not just fun to me," he murmured, biting his lower lip and moving his knees anxiously.

​Kai watched Rode for a while, taking in how troubled Rode looked. In that moment, he decided he was right never to doubt Rode.

​He slowly shifted to close the distance between them, "I know," he whispered.

​Rode turned, looking at Kai with confusion and guilt, "You do?" He asked.

​Kai nodded, "I've never doubted you, Rode. Maybe a few seconds, but that's it..." He trailed a finger along Rode’s hairline, sighing as he felt the smooth skin he'd missed so much, watching Rode’s eyes flutter closed at his touch.

​"I know what I felt with you, Rode.... that can't be faked," he smiled.

​Rode's breath hitched and he gently leaned onto Kai, placing his chin on his shoulder, "I'm sorry. I was scared, cornered... I still am. But..." he lifted his face, breath mingling with Kai's, "I want you to know that I love you too, Malakai," he smiled nervously.

​Kai smiled, his heart vibrating aggressively in his chest. His hand tightened on Rode's waist, pulling him closer, "Malakai? It's sexy on your lips," he murmured.

​Rode laughed shakily, "I just confessed my feelings and you're thinking about how sexy your name sounds on my lips?" He questioned, eyes dragging over Kai's handsome face.

​Kai closed his eyes and pressed his forehead to Rode's, "I'm letting it sink in, baby. It's not every day you hear such magical words."

​Rode traced a tattoo from Kai's hand to his chest, placing his hand flat on Kai's naked chest, "I love you," he whispered, kissing Kai's jawline, "I love you," he kissed his cheeks, "I love you so damn much, Kai," he whispered against Kai's lips.

​"You have no idea," Kai closed the space between them, kissing Rode softly, his arms wrapping around Rode's body.

​"You have no idea how much I love you... I've done stupid things for you... Saint will have my neck," he chuckled, kissing Rode's neck.

​"Not if I can help it..." Rode's voice was small, almost uncertain, but he was sure as hell to make his wrongs right.

​Kai smirked, "I knew you'd help." He placed another kiss on Rode's lower lip.

​Rode smiled softly, his eyes catching the faint red mark on Kai's lower lip. "I'm sorry for hitting you," his thumb traced Kai's lower lip, his eyes grazing over him with a lust that he shouldn't be feeling at that moment.

​"You keep looking at me that way and I'll have to fuck you till sunrise, sugar," Kai's voice dropped seductively low, his hand catching Rode's wrist but never pulling it away from his lips.

​"Perhaps I can punish you for the trouble you've caused..." Kai whispered huskily, closing his wet lips around Rode's thumb and sucking it slowly.

​Rode gasped, his body heating up instantly, lips falling apart to draw in sharp breaths as he watched Kai suck on his thumb.

​"I'll get on my knees for you, Rode... I'll let you fuck my mouth, my throat..." He pressed his warm, moist lips to the sensitive inside of Rode's wrist, "And just when you're about to come... I'll take you out, tie your hands to the headboard, and make you watch me touch myself and come all over your pretty face—"

​"Do it," Rode blurted out, panting loudly, "Please... do it... punish me, Kai... I deserve it," he begged.

​Kai smirked, his throat bobbing as he swallowed hard, eyes darkening with raw hunger. “You want punishment, baby?” He asked darkly, “Then you’ll take it exactly how I give it.”

​He pushed Rode back onto the bed with slow, deliberate strength, crawling over him like a predator savoring its prey.

​Rode’s breath came in shallow pants, his body already arching up, desperate for contact. Kai took his time—kissing down Rode’s neck, sucking marks into his collarbone, his hands roaming over every inch of skin as if relearning him. When he reached Rode’s hand again, he caught that same thumb between his lips and sucked it deep, slow and filthy, his tongue swirling around the digit while his eyes stayed locked on Rode’s flushed face.

​Rode moaned, his hips twitching helplessly. “Kai… fuck…”

​Kai released the thumb with a wet pop and dragged his mouth to the sensitive inside of Rode’s wrist, kissing and biting gently before sucking hard enough to leave a bruise. “I’m going to ruin you tonight,” he whispered against the damp skin. “Tonight you lie there and take everything I give you.”

​He stripped Rode slowly, torturously, kissing every new inch of exposed skin—down his chest, across his stomach, teasing the V of his hips while ignoring his aching cock completely.

​Rode was leaking steadily by the time Kai finally settled between his spread thighs, but he still didn’t touch him there. Instead, he worked Rode open with slick fingers, slow and deep, curling just right to brush that spot inside him over and over until Rode was writhing, precum dripping in a steady mess onto his own abdomen.

​“Kai—please,” Rode begged, his voice breaking. “I need you inside me… it hurts… fuck, it hurts so good—”

​“Not yet,” Kai murmured, his voice thick with lust.

​He pulled his fingers free and rose up, kissing his way down Rode’s body.

​When he reached Rode’s cock, flushed and leaking, Kai didn’t rush. He pressed open-mouthed kisses along the length, teasing the sensitive underside with his tongue, breathing hot air over the glistening head. Rode whimpered, his hips twitching.

​“Kai… please…”

​Kai hummed, finally taking him into his mouth—slow, torturous inches at a time. He sucked deeply, hollowing his cheeks, his tongue swirling around the head before sliding down again, taking him to the back of his throat. Rode cried out, his hands flying to Kai’s hair, his thighs trembling as Kai worked him with devastating patience—long, wet pulls mixed with gentle suction, pulling off just as Rode got close, only to start over again.

​Rode was a mess, precum spilling freely onto Kai’s tongue, his moans turning into broken pleas. “Fuck—Kai, I’m so close—please don’t stop—”

​But Kai did stop, pulling off with a filthy pop, his lips shiny and swollen. He kissed Rode’s hip, ignoring the desperate twitch of his cock. “Not yet.”

​With Rode shaking desperately, Kai rose, kneeling with his knees planted on either side of Rode’s hips. His own cock was heavy and flushed. He wrapped a hand around himself and started stroking—long, lazy pulls, his thumb swiping over the head.

​Rode moaned loudly, his hips bucking uselessly, more precum spurting from his neglected cock in thick beads. “Kai… oh god, please… fuck me… I need you inside me… it hurts… ease it, baby, please—”

​Kai kept stroking himself, his hips rolling into his fist, his breath ragged as he watched Rode fall apart. The sight of Rode—flushed, leaking, begging—was pure torture. He drew it out, slowing when close, letting the pleasure build unbearably.

​With a low groan, Kai finally let go. His cock pulsed hard as he came in thick, hot ropes across Rode’s chest and face—painting his lips, collarbones, and heaving stomach. Rode moaned brokenly at the feeling, his own cock twitching violently, more precum spilling as the sensation pushed him right to the edge.

​“Kai… please… fuck me,” Rode gasped desperately, his tongue darting out to taste the mess. “I can’t— I need you to fill me… ease this pain, please— I'll be good—I promise..." he whimpered.

​Kai leaned down, capturing Rode’s mouth in a messy, cum-slick kiss. “I’m not done punishing you yet.”

​He flipped Rode onto his stomach with ease, yanking his hips up so his ass was presented perfectly.

​Rode moaned into the pillow, pushing back desperately as Kai lined up and pushed in—slow at first, stretching him open with one long, relentless thrust until he bottomed out. The sound Rode made was broken, raw, and Kai had to pause, his forehead pressed to the back of Rode’s neck, breathing hard.

​“Never hide from me again,” Kai whispered fiercely, his voice thick with emotion as he started to move—deep, powerful strokes that rocked Rode’s entire body. “No more running. No more secrets. I trust you, Rode… even when it fucking scares me. I love you too much to lose you.”

​Rode cried out with every thrust, the intense drag against his prostate making his cock leak steadily onto the sheets. Tears of overwhelming pleasure and relief slipped down his cheeks. “Kai—fuck—yes… I won’t… I swear… I love you—”

​Kai’s pace quickened, his hips snapping harder, the wet slap of skin filling the room alongside their ragged breaths. He reached around, wrapping a hand around Rode’s throbbing cock and stroking him in time with his thrusts—firm, unrelenting.

​“You’re mine,” Kai growled against his ear, biting down on the sensitive lobe as he drove in deeper, harder, fucking him like he needed to imprint himself on Rode’s soul. “Say it again.”

​“I’m yours—Kai, please—oh god, I love you,” Rode sobbed, pushing back to meet every brutal thrust, his body shaking with the overwhelming mix of pleasure and raw emotion. The storm outside roared, but nothing compared to the storm inside the cabin—the fear, the love, the desperate need to hold on to each other after everything.

​Kai’s rhythm faltered as he got close again, but he kept going, pounding into Rode with everything he had, whispering between gritted teeth, “I trust you… even when you scare the hell out of me. Don’t ever leave me in the dark again, baby. I can’t do this without you.”

​Rode came first with a shattered cry, spilling over Kai’s fist and the sheets, his ass clenching tight around him. Kai followed seconds later, burying himself deep and filling Rode with hot pulses, groaning his name like a prayer.

​They collapsed together, Kai barely pulling out before rolling them so Rode was tucked against his chest. He pressed soft kisses to Rode’s sweaty temple, his fingers carding gently through his hair as their breathing slowly evened out.

​“I meant every word,” Kai whispered into the quiet, holding him tighter. “I love you. We’re in this together now. No more hiding.”

​Rode nodded against his neck, tears still slipping silently as he clung to Kai like a lifeline. “Together,” he breathed, his voice hoarse but certain. “I love you too… Malakai.”

​Outside, the rain kept falling, but inside the cabin, for the first time in what felt like forever, they had peace.

​They needed this; the explanation could come in the morning, but tonight, they needed each other close, to heal that agonizing distance that had grown between them for weeks.

​"You tell me everything by morning," Kai said in a rough voice.

​"Every detail, Kai. I promise," Rode whispered, snuggling closer to Kai's warmth.

​"I love you," Kai murmured, sighing blissfully as he shut his eyes.
