Chapter 40

Mia.

"I know she is giving you a lot of headaches," Mia said, as she worked her fingers on Kai's chest.

She was on top now, hovering above him on the bed, in her almost naked form.

Kai only managed to breathe out, "What are you talking about?"

She traced her hand down his member, which was already getting hard, "The new girl. Valerie."

At the same time, her hand slipped into the waistband of his pants, and she grabbed a hold of his cock.

A sharp hiss escaped Kai's lips at the sudden contact of her warm hands, "Fuck! You are..." He cussed but was unable to complete the sentence as Mia grabbed a hold of the waistband of his pants, pulling them off him.

If he had asked what exactly was going on, Kai knew he wouldn't have given a better explanation for it. Right at this moment, though, the only thing on his mind was how hot and sexy she looked on him. Completely forgetting what pissed him off earlier.

He knew she was in trouble, especially after he found out she had slept with the Alpha. However, the thought made rage surge over him and in a flash, he had flipped her over.

Mia's heart almost skipped a beat at the suddenness of his actions. She knew she couldn't afford to mess this up.

"You are fucking with me, aren't you?" He seethed, pinning her arms on the bed.

"I...I just want to help you."

"Help me?" He asked Incredulously, grabbing a hold of her cheeks, "How exactly is 'this' helping me?"

She sighed, biting her lips, and said, "Okay, I'll just leave then. I am sorry for causing you trouble."

The look on her face was so innocent and sad, that Kai kept wondering what she was playing at. He refused to believe that she had pure intentions. But thinking about it proved to be a tedious task, cause the view in front of him was so tempting, that he couldn't get his eyes off it.

He leaned in, capturing her lips in a kiss, as his hands roamed her chest, and in a flash, he had ripped off her gown, exposing the succulent flesh of her boobs.

His mouth trailed lower, nipping and sucking at every skin his mouth latched on until he was caressing and sucking on her breasts.

A low sound escaped from Mia's lips. She arched her back as her hand fisted in his hair, letting him have his way with her.

"Take me, Kai. I am all yours." She moaned out, surrendering to him completely.

Kai couldn't resist. Not in the slightest.

He thrusted his hips hard toward her, relishing in the pleasure that surged through him.

Bunching her dress up, his hands found his way to his pants, which he took off almost immediately.

His lips found hers again, nibbling and sucking on it as he rubbed his cock over her pussy.

His senses were going haywire and he couldn't wait to be in her already.

In a swift move, he had positioned his cock into her pussy, so hard that a loud growl escaped his lips.

"Fuck!! You are....so...so good!!" He managed to breath out, as he pulled out almost completely, and then with a force unimaginable, he thrusted in deeper and harder this time.

Mia gasped, the sensation filing her every essence. She wouldn't admit it, but she was enjoying every damn moment of it.

Her hips moved forward, meeting him thrust for thrust, as their bodies collided as one, panting and fucking like their lives depended on it.

Even as she felt a wave of pleasure build up in her, as her fingers scratched at his toned back, he still hadn't gotten enough.

He flipped her over, his hands moving over to cup her breasts from behind as he inserted his cock back in her.

"You wanted this right?" He rasped, "So you should fucking take it!" And his cock went deep into her, fucking her from behind.

His eyes rolled back inti his sockets, as he held her tighter, never wanting to let go.

It has been so fucking long since he had felt this way. So fucking long....

<<<<

An hour later, Mia stood from the bed, gently pulling Kai's large arm from her waist.

He was breathing softly and seemed to be in a deep sleep.

She climbed off the bed, a hiss escaping her lips as she stared at her ripped dress on the bare floor.

Examining it, she heaved a sigh of relief as she discovered it only had a few buttons off. But that was a little concern for her.

In no time, she was out of the room, heading toward the living room.

<<<<<<<

Back in Klaus's room, Valerie took a large sip of wine on the table, sighing in relief as she had her fill.

Klaus smiled at her, "You okay?" He asked.

Too full to speak, Valerie could only nod in reply, her head leaning back on the backrest of the seat as her eyelids slowly flickered.

"What do you wanna talk about?" She asked, and Klaus chuckled, as he brought a glass of wine to his lips.

He had let her eat, knowing how hungry she was, only opting for the drink himself.

Valerie raised her head slightly and stared at him bashfully for a second, "Sorry for the meal. I was..."

"Yeah..yeah. it's alright. I can always eat later, y'know."

She sighed in relief, as she felt every bone in her body weakening. Shaking her head, she stood up the chair, causing it to scrape slightly on the floor.

"Hey. Where are you going?" Klaus asked as he stood right after her.

Val's eyes were droopy as she made to walk. She managed to reply, "Uhm...we can talk. But ...not now. I'm so....." As she tried to walk away, her legs hit the chair which was on her way, making her wince in pain.

Klaus quickly walked over to her, his expression etched in a confused state.

His hands immediately held her back, steadying her. "Are you okay?" His eyes roamed over her face, his brows raised, as she leaned on him for support.

"So tired...." Val's hands instinctively went around his neck as she tried to steady her balance.

The whole scenario was confusing to Klaus, as he could only stare in confusion.

His eyes glanced at the empty plate of pasta on the table and he heaved a sigh, "You shouldn't have eaten so much."

This time, Val was resting on his chest, his hands, holding her in place while her hands were around his neck.

For a few moments, he was distracted. Her breath was steady, and as he brought a hand to her face, tilting her head slightly, he discovered her eyes were closed.

"What...are you sure you are Okay?" He asked, but she hummed unintelligently.

Sighing, he walked over to the bed, "Maybe you need to rest for a bit, then," he slowly leaned down and placed her on the bed.

Brushing a strand of hair over her face, he watched her for a moment. This time, much closer than ever.

It confused him how she looked so much like Amber, his mate. Even his wolf, Zane, almost mistook her for Amber as well. He had always been so chirpy whenever they were around her. Always ignited a reaction in him.

But he knew she wasn't Amber. Amber was dead. But why couldn't he take his mind and eyes off her?

His hands brushed the line of her cheekbones, down to her chin, until they grazed ever so softly on her soft parted rosy lips.

This was Lorenzo's girl. The one he'd heard of before he came in here. The one he had planned on finding out everything about.

Part of the reason why he was here, was to find out if Lorenzo had finally fallen for someone. But then, he found himself getting enamored by the same girl.

He withdrew his hands in an instant, as he pulled away from her. But then, he paused, as Val's hand held him back.

Confused, he turned back to her, and she murmured something incoherent.

He couldn't hear her, so he leaned back toward her, "What was that?"

"Why?" She whispered. This time, he heard her clearly, and he frowned.

Her eyes were open, slightly, her expression calm and peaceful, as she spoke, again.

"Why..why did you kiss me?"

He raised a brow. Kiss her?

'Is she hallucinating?' he wondered.

He let out a breath and then said, "You're daydreaming love. Have a rest." He patted her cheeks and stood back up.

But her hand held him back, again, pulling him back to the bed. Heaving a sigh, he sat, with his legs crossed together, just beside her.

This time, she sat up on the bed, and for a moment, she looked so innocent and naive.

And then, her lips began to tremble and she began to sob.

Stunned was an understatement to describe Kai's reaction. He couldn't understand the sudden dramatics she was playing at. He was trying so damn hard to control himself around her, which was why he needed to keep a good distance between them, but she kept pulling him back. And now she was crying?

"What... what's wrong?" He reached out to her hand, which now covered her cheeks, as her shoulders shook.

He pulled her hands away, "Valerie? Are you okay? Why...why the sudden tears?" Wiped some tears off her face.

She stared up at him with her teary eyes, her lashes fluttering slightly. Her gaze moved to the tattoo on his neck and she reached out to it, brushing her hand over it.

The feeling of Valerie's hands on him made Klaus let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding.

Valerie snaked an arm over his neck. The look in her eyes was so disturbing, that Klaus held her close, she was almost sitting on his legs.

And he pulled her into an embrace. Her scent...which seemed to be a combination of lavender and strawberry, made him breathe her in deeply.

His wolf was going crazy in his head, his heart beating so fast, as a range of emotions surged through him.

Memories of his mate, Amber filled his head.

After what seemed like forever, he finally pulled away, the distance between them, an inch apart. They were close. Too close for comfort. He didn't miss the way her lashes fluttered slightly, her eyes resting on his lips.

He shouldn't be feeling this way. He shouldn't be nurturing these feelings...same feelings he felt for...for her.

For heaven's sake, it wasn't even up to a week since he stepped foot into this house.

At this moment though, she looked so vulnerable, that he had to hold himself back.

He sighed, his hands coming up to cup her chin, "You need to rest. Okay?"

<<<<<<<

Outside the mansion, Draco stood behind a fence at the gate, as he waited patiently for Mia. He was sure she had seen the note, as that had been his, and Ellie's way of communication since they worked together.

Before this, he had sent her a text, which he was not sure she ever saw or read. Explaining to her, that her uncle was finally here to take her out of this place.

But Mia didn't want to leave. She knew what he wanted, but she had her own plans.

She was already working on getting Draco into the mansion, so he would be able to take the girl, Valerie, since Lorenzo was out saving Ellie.

It was a task almost impossible, but Mia knew how to play her cards. Or so, she thought.

The plan was to distract Kai, which of course, she knew was a small feat. It was a shame that he didn't touch the meal she brought him.

She had added a kind of drug to it, which would make him tired and his thoughts, irrational. Holding him off, until everything was ready.

But she wasn't careful enough. What she didn't know was that the meal meant for Kai was unintentionally switched in the kitchen and taken to Klaus' room.

The meal Valerie consumed, all alone.
