going on with Raiden and Tai.” She answered raising her eyebrows.
    “It does. Tell me about your mom,” he requested.
    She shrugged, “Not much to tell, Lukas. We never got along once I hit the age of fifteen. I left the Capitol as soon as I had the means and came to the quieter Aishan.” He nodded.
    “What about your dad?” he asked and he oddly was truly concerned.
    “Never met him, she never talked about him, I have no clue who he is. Always wanted to know, though.” She whispered the last part, but Kai heard it. He kissed the top of her head tucking her closer to him. “And I thought the great Kai Lukas wasn’t a romantic,” she said into his chest; it caused him to smile. He wasn’t, but maybe things could change.

 

    Gloria
    She had spent the last three weeks in Kai Lukas’ bed. Tonight, he told her he would come to her after she got off work. He had business to take care of, so therefore Gloria didn’t ask. She was falling in love and over the last few weeks, she saw glimpses from Kai that gave her hope for the future.
    ‘Hey I’ll be at your apartment before you get home. Leave the door unlocked.’ She smiled at his text.
    ‘Okay Lukas, done,’ she replied. He hadn’t asked much of her since the confrontation with Raiden and Tai at the park so whatever Kai was doing he was doing on his own. She knew he would ask more of her and she vowed to just go along with it, no questions asked.
    “God, Gloria, you are a slut.” She laughed. Her mom was right. Kai was clearly trying to rip apart Raiden and Tai and Gloria was just going right along with things. She didn’t have any ill will towards Raiden.

    Coretti. That was her last name Tai Coretti. He had found it and found out why she was here. Her mother had an affair with her fiancé. That was a bummer for sure, but it would work to Kai’s advantage.
    “Hello?” she answered.
    “Hello, is this Meredith Coretti?” he responded in his most charming way.
    “Yes,” she answered.
    “I have news on your daughter, Ms. Coretti.”
    “Is Tai alright?” Kai could feel the fear.
    “Well, I’m not sure. See, she has been seeing a man by the name of Raiden, and well, there are things she just doesn’t know.” He paused waited for her to press him.
    “What kind of things.” She almost whispered.
    “Well, Raiden isn’t human, you see. He’s ummm....he’s a vampire.” He told her and she gasped at his words.
    “Where is she? I’ll send Jordan right away!” She panicked.
    Kai smiled to himself. “Aishan, you’ll have to travel to the Capitol city of Hokena.”
    “Thank you, sir. Thank you so very much,” she said, clearly overcome with a lot of emotion.
    “Of course, Ms. Correti. I know how I would feel if it was my child,” he answered before hanging up.
    Satisfied with himself, he headed to the door. He had snuck an overnight bag in his car already. “Hey dad, going camping tonight, but Tai’s mom is sending a rescuer for her,” he called before leaving the house.
     
    Gloria
     
    When she arrived at her apartment it was dark. She looked around and spotted Kai’s car, but it didn’t look like anyone was inside. She pushed open her door and cautiously entered the apartment. “Lukas?” she called.
    “Right here, doll.” His voice was low and strained.
    She flipped on a small lamp. “What the hell are you doing sitting in the dark?” she admonished.
    “I think better in the dark.” She nodded at his reply.
    “This is one of those don’t ask questions moments isn’t it?” She laughed lightly.
    “Correct, doll.” His voice was now seductive as he stood and moved towards her.
    “I need a shower, my back and feet are killing me.” She breathed overtaken by his closeness.
    “Sounds like a plan, doll, come on,” he whispered kissing her gently on the lips before leading her to her bathroom.
     
    Kai
    He probably should’ve flipped on a light, but he was processing and the darkness helped him decompress. He had
