Sweet Retribution (Rydeville High Elite #3)(84)

He lifts his head, brushing my tears away with his thumb as he continues rocking into me. “I love you too, and this is everything, baby.”

I wrap my legs around his waist, pulling him in deeper, as I clasp both sides of his face. “Don’t ever leave me, Kai, because I would die without you.”

“I will never leave you, Abby. Not even in death. I will always find my way back to you.”

Tears leak out of my eyes, but, for once, they are happy tears.

We continue loving one another, without urgency, until we fall off the ledge together.

I’m lying flat on my back beside Kai, with our fingers interlinked, and I’ve never felt more at peace or more secure. His love supports me in so many ways. I turn to face him, resting my hand on his chest. His skin is warm and clammy to the touch but not in an icky way. “You are my world, Kaiden Anderson,” I tell him. “And I love you so very much.” I lean down and kiss his lush mouth softly and slowly.

He pulls me in closer. “It’s cheesy to admit this, but you fucking complete me, Abby. I never want to stop feeling the way I feel when I’m with you.”

“You are such a closet romantic,” I tease, as his belly emits a loud rumble. He moves to get up, but I push him back down on the bed. “You are always looking after me, now it’s my turn.” I swing my legs out of bed, swiping his shirt from the floor and pulling it on. “I’ll make us something to eat and bring it up.”

He sits up, and I love how his abs flex and roll with the motion. My tongue darts out, and I want to lick every groove and indent. But it will have to wait for round two, as I’m fucking starving too. He pulls me down for a searing-hot kiss, and I’m struggling to see straight when we finally break for air. “I love seeing you in my clothes. You are sexy as hell, baby,” he says, sliding his hand up the outside of my thigh. “Hurry back, because I’m not finished loving you.”

I dart out of the room like a ninja on skates, and his loud laughter follows me down the stairs.

I make us some chicken wraps and load the tray with a couple bottles of water and some chips before making my way back upstairs.

“What—” I start asking when I reach the landing, spotting Kai standing in the doorway to his room in his boxers. His brow is puckered, his head cocked to one side. A loud moan, followed by the sound of something banging against a solid surface cuts me off mid-sentence. My eyes widen as I pass the tray to Kai.

He jerks his head in the direction of Sawyer’s room. The door is slightly ajar. Not enough that we can see anything. But enough that we can hear.

“Fuck, yes,” a familiar voice shouts, as the banging picks up in intensity. “Fuck that ass hard, Hunt.”

Thank fuck, Kai is holding the tray now because I’m one hundred percent certain the contents would be all over the floor if I’d still been carrying it.

“Oh. My. God,” I whisper, as a grin forms on my mouth.

Kai wiggles his brows. “This has been in the cards a while,” he admits.

“I agree. The sexual tension between them is off the charts.”

“Hell, yes. Harder, Hunt,” Xavier roars, and a door down the hallway opens.

Jackson pops his sleepy head out. “What the fuck is going on?”

“You don’t want to know,” Kai deadpans, just as Xavier lets out another primal moan.

Jackson’s head snaps up, and a huge grin spreads across his lips. “About fucking time.” He rubs his hands gleefully. “I can’t wait to throw shade at Hunt for this.” He chuckles, and I roll my eyes. His eyes drift to the tray, growing big. “Any of that for me?”

“What do you think, asshat?” Kai says.

I take half a wrap and put it on Kai’s plate. Then I load some chips on the other plate and walk to meet Jackson. “Here.” I hand him the plate, kissing his cheek. “I won’t eat all of my mine.”

He messes up my hair. “Thanks, beautiful.”

“Cute PJs,” I tease, glancing at his blue-, gray-, and white-striped pajama pants.

“I grabbed the first thing I found on the floor,” he admits, popping a chip in his mouth. “Didn’t think Anderson would appreciate me wandering around butt naked.” He smirks at Kai.

“You got that right,” Kai says. “The only cock Abby’s seeing around here is mine.”

Sawyer lets loose a string of expletives as Xavier moans and grunts. “Fuck yeah, baby!” Xavier shouts. “Pound that ass.” Jackson and I convulse in a fit of laughter, and I’ve pains in my stomach I’m laughing so much.

“And I’ve heard enough.” Kai lifts his shoulder. “Come back to bed, babe.” His eyes lower to the tray. “I’m eating this first, and then, I’m devouring you.” His eyes darken with lust. “And you can scream the fucking house down this time.”





“Sooo,” I say, dragging the word out the following morning in the kitchen. “You and Xavier, huh?” I quirk a brow, fighting a giggle as Sawyer’s face pales.

“I’m not discussing him with you,” he says, immediately going into lockdown mode.

“Fuck yeah, baby. Pound that ass!” Jackson says in Sawyer’s ear, mimicking Xavier’s voice, and I almost lose my stomach contents.
