Kai Alcaster

She didn't even notice how she fell asleep - fatigue suddenly covered her. During the day she came here to take something and leave, but the soft mattress and warm blanket of the enemy played a cruel joke on her.

The door creaked softly, and Kai Alcaster appeared in the doorway. His dark gaze slid over her body, and his lips curved into that dangerous half-smirk that always took her breath away.

He walked up without further ado, sat down on the edge of the bed and slowly took off her shoes, as if it was his territory... and she was just an intruder.

“Get up so I can make the bed,” he asked in a low, almost lazy voice, but there was an order in his tone.

His heart was beating so loudly that it seemed he could hear it too. “I’m leaving already,” she squeezed out, trying not to meet his eyes.

He bowed his head slightly, coming dangerously close, and repeated, clearly separating each word: — Get up. So that I. Can straighten. The bed.

And she realized that he would not let her go until he got what he wanted.

He understands too well what it means to lose, so he keeps his woman under special protection, even if she herself considers it unnecessary.
