Well, it's been a year now, since I published this story. I thought today would be a good day to update the final chapter. At this point I wanna thank all who had enough interest to read this story and especially everyone who reviewed. Thank you.

Chapter 10:

Soundtrack: Can't Fight The Moonlight by LeAnn Rimes

My lips met his and soon I felt him respond to the kiss. Although, he pushed me away just as quickly. The eye contact remained, until he stood up and broke it. For a moment it looked like he was hesitating, before he talked.

"You don't understand," he said, walking out of the room.

"How could I if you don't give me a chance!" I yelled at his back as I got up, grabbing my blouse, to go after him.

I found him at the balcony. I shivered slightly as I stepped outside into the cold air. I stared at him for a while, before speaking.

"What are you so scared of, Kai?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper. "Getting hurt?"

He turned to look at me with narrowed eyes, sending shivers down my spine. "I'm not scared."

"Aren't you?" I replied, staring intensily into his eyes.

A startled look flashed on his face, disappearing instantly. "No," he grunted.

"Then why do you keep letting me closer and after that pushing me away?" I questioned.

I waited for him to answer, which he didn't do.

"Kai, I'm not gonna hurt you," I stated. "Try to get that through your head."

He snorted. "You honestly expect me to believe that?"

I looked at him, confused. "Why not?"

There was an amused expression on his face. "Let me tell you something..." he started.

"Every single girl I've met has mainly been interested in me for only one reason," he stated.

"Which is...?" I asked.

"Money," he replied.

"You think that I'm also..." I started before losing my voice somewhere.

"Why would you be any different?" He questioned coldly.

"Why would I have been talking to you about all this if I wasn't?" I pointed out.

"Pretending to care," he snorted.

"I'm not pretending!" I snapped.

"How can I know that?" he asked in return.

"You can't, not for sure," I whispered. "You just have to trust me."

He scoffed before a silence came between us.

"We've both been just as alone probably," I stated. "Do you really think I'm after money?"

He looked at me and I saw he was really thinking about what I said.

"No, but you think I'm gonna risk it?" he said, going back inside.

I followed him, bumping into his back as he stopped suddenly.

"It's getting late so we should get to bed," he stated.

"Yeah..." I agreed.

"Unfortunately, the couch is gone so you're gonna have to share with me," he pointed out.

"What happened?" I asked.

"I had some people over here and things got a bit wild," he answered.

Later that night, after taking a shower, I walked into Kai's bedroom and slid under the covers of the bed. He came in soon after me and I could feel myself blushing, seeing him merely in boxers. He looked at me and I pulled the blanket quickly over my face. I turned to my side, looking at the wall, as I felt him lie down on the other side of the bed. The light was turned off.

I closed my eyes and tried to sleep but couldn't. Something was keeping me awake, but I couldn't determine, what it was exactly. It was a some kind of peculiar feeling. I opened my eyes and turned to my back. The moon lit the room dimly. I looked to my other side – Kai was lying on his side, his back to me. Was he asleep? I was about to look more closely, before deciding it would be too embarrassing if he wasn't sleeping.

I continued to lie on my back, looking out of the window at the moon. I had been still for a while, when Kai turned to my direction. He wasn't asleep either and, even though I couldn't really see, I felt him looking at my face as I looked at his. I didn't dare to move or even blink. My voice was lost somewhere as my breathing quickened.

Soon our lips met in another kiss and I felt one of his hands on my hip, the other's fingers entwining with mine. My other hand was traveling on the hot skin of his back. The kiss was broken and he pulled me closer for another one, my breasts pressing against his chest through my nightgown. Vibes went through my body as he stroked the skin on my inner thigh. I sat up and took off my nightgown, which left me with only panties.

I leaned back down, my now bare breasts pressing against his bare chest, as I kissed him. He cuped one of them while starting to trace kisses down my neck and over my other breast. Soon I felt him removing my panties, but I was too intoxicated to think or care.

The next morning:

I blinked as I looked out of the window – the sun was shining brightly. I bit my lip as a wide smile came to my face, remembering last night. I looked around and noticed that Kai wasn't in the room, so got out of the bed and got dressed. I found him in the kitchen, with a bowl of cereal and a spoon, looking out of the window. He seemed to be deep in thought.

I cleared my throat, getting his attention. "You probably want me to go now, right?"

He looked at me, his gaze measuring and studying me.

"I want you to know something," I started.

"What's that?" he asked.

"That I don't regret what happened last night, no matter what," I stated.

There was a silence.

"I guess I better go then," I said quietly, turning around.

"No."

I turned back as he walked to me. "What?"

"I don't want you to go."

It took a while before it sank into my brain.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah, really," he answered. "It's strange that you're the first girl leaving without being told to, yet you're the first one who I want to stay."

"Aww! Thank you so much!" I said as I hugged him.

"I mean for good," he added.

"You mean move in with you?" I asked in disbelief.

"I wouldn't want the girl I love to be treated like you were yesterday, before you came here," he stated.

"I love you too, Kai," I said, before kissing him.

So, there you have it. End of story – and no sequel.
