I don’t even know what giving him complete control means.

Who am I kidding? If Kai would have hiked my dress up andbent me over a table out there, called me his dirty little whore sister, smacked my ass and fucked me, I would have said I was and begged him to fuck me harder.

I unlock the stall door, and standing near the sinks are Adriana and Mallory. “What the hell, Isla! We thought we lost you to those two guys.” They both are way too drunk and I should make sure they get back to the group before I let Malakai take me home.

“Actually, Kai showed up, and he’s gonna take me home.” Adriana gives me a scrunched-up look and then her eyes widen.

“Kai, as in Malakai? Like your stepbrother, Malakai.” She then giggles. “The one you had that sex dream about and Steve thought it was him you were moaning for in your sleep. Hot, professional baseball player, Malakai?”

Jesus Christ, could she spill any more beans?

“Yeah, that’s the one.” Is all I can get out, my face beet red from embarrassment.

Adriana throws her arm around me and pulls me close. “Are you gonna finally fuck him?”

“I think so.”I fucking know so.

Mallory holds up her hand for a high five, and to appease her, I give her one. “But first I’m going to get you guys back to Charlene and the group. Okay?”

“Sounds like a plan! I think some shots are in order. To ce-celebrate you finally fucking your brother.”

“Stepbrother.” I correct and I wash my hands, then grab Adriana and Mallory, pushing the door open with my foot.

Kai’s leaned against the wall facing the door and as soon as he sees my situation, he rolls his eyes. He grabs ahold of Mallory’s arm, leading her to the main area of the club. I spot the bachelorette group and we head over. I help Adriana into a chair and Kai does the same with Mallory.

“Sorry, ladies, but I’m stealing Isla for the rest of the night.So,” Kai pulls a couple of hundred-dollar bills from his wallet and hands them to Charlene, the designated driver of the group. “Drinks are on me.”

The girls cheer and Kai wastes no time in leading me toward the door. I take the opportunity to shove my thong in his pocket and once we’re outside, he pulls out his phone and sends a text.

A few minutes later, a group of three guys comes out of the main entrance and Kai nods at them. I look them over, all handsome as fuck, but none compare to Kai. That’s when the nerves hit. I swallow hard and look at the men walking toward us and then up at my stepbrother.

“Kai,” my voice laced with hesitation. “You’re not gonna let them…”

He grabs me by my chin and presses his lips to mine; the men stop in front of us and watch as he kisses me. This isn’t a soft kiss like in the club, no. This kiss is showing that he’s claimed me.

That I’m his.

Kai breaks our kiss and swipes his thumb over my bottom lip. “They can watch, but they can’t touch.”

KAI

The feeling of her lips on mine has me feral for her, and the near hour we’re about to be in the car is going to be torture.I have to have her.One hand around her throat as I keep her mouth on mine, the other fishes around in my pocket for the keys to my SUV. Breaking the kiss, Isla looks like she’s in a drunken haze, even though I know the alcohol is fading. I toss my keys to Gael. “Are you good to drive?”

“For sure.” Gael says and walks ahead toward the parking lot. “You guys wait here and I’ll bring the car.”

Isla shivers and that’s when I notice she doesn’t have a jacket on. “You know you’re not great at this adulting thing, Princess. I know it’s summer, but it still gets chilly out here by the bay.”

Her teeth chatter for a moment and then she sticks her tongue out at me.

“You know, if you’re gonna act like a brat, I can treat you like a brat.” I push the stray hairs from her face and run my thumb from her cheek to her bottom lip. Her face flushes and her breathing picks up. I lean into her and whisper. “Does that turn my little sister on?”

“N-n-no.” Isla shifts her gaze and her right eyebrow twitches.

Her tell that she’s lying.

“You were never a good liar, Princess.”
