What will it take for you to leave me alone?
Kane:
Leave you alone? Baby, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve fucked my hand since you pulled your little stunt in my father’s office. There’s no turning back. Not until I’m done with you.
Kane:
You owe me two orgasms, remember?
Jessica:
I have a boyfriend.
Kane:
Break up with him.
My mouth drops open in surprise, and I can’t help but laugh at his audacity. A fake boyfriend doesn’t even deter him. This is almost funny. Does he really think I’d fall for it? Or is he just confident? What a stupid question. Of course, he’s that confident. This is Kane Ravencourt we’re talking about. He was born with the world at his feet. Either way, I’m not sure if I should be amused or annoyed.
Jessica:
Are you crazy? I’m not breaking up with my boyfriend for you.
Chewing my lip, I watch the bubbles appear and disappear.
Kane:
Does he know about your little kink?
A sudden rush of nerves hit me, scrambling my thoughts. I start to type out a response, but he beats me to it.
Kane:
I doubt he does. I doubt anyone knows but me.
A chill settles over my skin as I read over his words. He’s not wrong. I haven’t told anyone.
Kane:
My little rabbit better sleep with a gun under her pillow. You never know what terrors stalk the night.
Another text follows directly after.
Kane:
Good night, princess. Have sweet dreams ;)
There’s a slight tremble in my fingers. I click out ofthe chat and double-check that the doors and windows are locked on my way back to bed.
I can’t shake the feeling that something isn’t quite right tonight. The shadows seem darker, and the silence more oppressive. I wonder if Kane meant what he said or if he was trying to get under my skin.
Summer is fast asleep when I enter my bedroom, her even breaths soothing my anxiety. I carefully crawl in beside her, but my thoughts soon drift, and I roll over onto my back.
The blinds are drawn, but some slats are broken, so if someone is outside, they can see in. What if Kane shows up like he threatened? What then? No, why would he do that? He was just trying to get a reaction out of me. That’s all.
And it worked.
