Kai had waited outside, entering after Nyx’s call, catching the confession. He moved noiselessly, like a stalking predator, barely there. Tipsy Nyx didn’t notice him right behind her.

After a stunned pause, she shook her head awkwardly. “Sorry, I’ve got a boyfriend.”

Hearing that, the tense male relaxed, purring with delight..

Vincent glanced at Kai but didn’t back off, nodding. “I know–he’s at the set daily for you. I heard Seafarion’s your boyfriend too, so, can I be your third? I really like you–like, crazy about you.”

Nyx wasn’t his usual type–she had a youthful look; he’d thought she was underage at first. His past girlfriends were curvy, mature–Nyx’s soft, non–threatening vibe wasn’t his thing. But filming flipped that. She was too stunning, too strong. She’d conquered him effortlessly.

“Please, give me a shot,” he pleaded. “I’m different from your boyfriends–if you’re curious, why not try me?”

–

Despite his pitch, Nyx shut him down firmly. “Sorry, not interested.”

She turned fast, smacking her forehead into a solid chest. After a brief scare, recognizing the familiar scent, she wrapped her arms around his firm waist, leaning in relaxed.

Kai scooped her up bridal–style, shooting Vincent a final warning glare before leaving.

“Nyx!” Vincent tried one last call, but–hallucination or not–Kai’s green eyes flashed like a cat’s icy stare, chilling him with

sweat.

‘What was that?‘ he thought. He shook his head hard, blaming the booze, squatting to recover. By the time he did, Nyx was long gone.

“How much did you drink?” Kai asked in the car, sniffing her like a suspicious spouse, grilling her.

Nyx lazily waved a pinky. “Just one glass–my tolerance is trash, you know that.”

Mentioning tolerance reminded Kai of her tricking him, his gaze darkening as he nipped her tiny finger. He didn’t bite hard, just grazed it.

Nyx teased his tongue with her finger, faking a whine. “Ow, hurts.”

Kai let go, shifting to kiss her lips instead. The car partition went up–he kissed her silly all the way home.

Nyx’s lips swelled slightly, pushing his head aside to switch topics and cool off before he got too eager. “When’d you come in earlier?”

She wanted to know how much he’d heard. Kai got her drift. “I heard it all. From him calling you, saying he liked you.”

Knowing this jealous leopard had bolted once in a huff, Nyx played it safe. “I barely know him–hardly talked, not much screen time together.”

Honestly, she had no clue why Vincent confessed–they’d only nodded hello at the set. Kai nodded a few times, no anger on his handsome face, looking pleased instead.

Once home, with no outsiders around, he swept Nyx up, heading straight for the bedroom.

“You turned him down–because I satisfy you, right?” he asked, tugging his collar to flash his chest, drawing her eyes. Nailing courtship and keeping a mate put him at the top of the male game. Kai was smug about it.
