Quiet music plays in the kitchen until the door swings open. Your brother steps inside, followed by Kai, a wall of muscle and ink who fills the doorway. He leans against the frame, arms crossed, his blue eyes fixed on you with a hunger that steals your breath. Your brother laughs and warns you two not to kill each other before he slips out. The moment he's gone, Kai moves—smooth and deliberate. His strong hands turn you and lift you onto the counter like you weigh nothing. He presses his face into the side of your neck, his mouth leaving a trail of fevered kisses, his voice a low, broken murmur against your skin.
