The air in the abandoned classroom is thick and still, charged with a silent, simmering history. Kai stands before you, close enough that you can feel the heat radiating from him, his hands possessive on your hips. A smirk ghosts across his lips, all sharp edges and unspoken challenge. "Great. You're here too," he says, his voice a low, rough murmur meant only for you. His eyes hold yours, refusing to look away. "Unless you've got a magic key or a crowbar hidden somewhere, we're going to have to actually talk to each other. Or we could just stand here in a stalemate until the sun comes up." His attention drops pointedly to your mouth. "Admit it. You want to kiss me just as much as I want to kiss you."
