Bonnie took many calming breaths as she rushed out of the room. She didn't know where any of that had come from. Her dominant behavior had been a spur of the moment thing, but now that she thought about Kai's reaction – his desperate moans and hasty submission – she couldn't get the image out of her head.

The worst part was that the more she played the memory through her mind, the more she wanted to get another reaction like that out of him.

Fifteen minutes later, after Bonnie had finished feeding Kai oatmeal and ignoring his blatant staring the whole time, he broke the silence by asking, "So when are ya' gonna hit me with that torture you promised?"

Bonnie sighed and stood from her position on the bed beside him, walking across the room to grab the dishes she'd left on the night stand.

"You sure do seem eager for me to hurt you," Bonnie mused.

"You seemed eager to hurt me."

Bonnie's jaw clenched. Kai was right. She couldn't wait to tear into his skin and watch his blood drip from his veins. Just the thought of hearing him cry out in pain and feel the same fear she'd felt towards him so many times gave her a sick thrill that she didn't want to admit to feeling.

She opted out for a narrow-eyed stare.

"The only thing I'm eager to do is go home," she shot back. "And if getting back to Mystic Falls requires me to hurt you, I'm not afraid. But you probably should be."

Kai grinned and gave the best shrug of his shoulders that he could manage while his arms were tied up.

"Probably," he agreed. "But I'm not."

"Right, sociopaths don't feel emotions," Bonnie retorted.

Kai laughed softly.

"It's not cause' I'm a sociopath. It's because you're not threatening."

She stared at him for a moment, unsure of whether to laugh in his face, yell at him, or throw something at his head. After taking a few calming breaths, Bonnie met Kai's gaze.

"You don't think I'm capable of hurting people?" she asked. "You think I'm just some scared little girl who screams when she sees a drop of blood? I have taken down some of the most powerful creatures on earth, and I am more than happy to add you to that list."

"No, no, it's not that," Kai quickly added, as if that was supposed to reassure her. "I know you're not afraid to really sink your claws into me, Bon. But no matter how much you torture me, it doesn't matter because I can't be killed. Well, at least not permanently."

"Maybe not," Bonnie agreed. "But I can sure as hell make it hurt."

Kai smiled brightly at her and chuckled.

"You're all talk, Bonnie," Kai argued. "You already know that pain makes me angry, which will make me want to spill the beans even less. But I'm curious. So come on. Show me what ya' got."

Bonnie bit her lip and squeezed the dishes she still held in her hands. As if she wasn't already feeling enough conflict inside of her, Kai just had to add:

"We both know how much you want to."

That was the final straw. Kai didn't know exactly what she was capable of. But he was about to find out.

Bonnie gave him a tight lipped smile and said, "You think taunting me will make me get the torture over with? I know your strategy, and I also know that half of the torture is having to wait for it. So I think I'll start when I'm good and ready."

She walked away, leaving him exasperated.

"Bonnieeee," Kai whined from across the hall for the tenth time since she'd left the room an hour ago. She huffed and looked over top of her magazine from her comfortable position in the bed across the hall from his.

"I don't care how badly you have to use the bathroom, Kai," she snapped. "I know that as soon as I untie you, you'll just knock me out and do who-knows-what to me."

Kai let out a groan. "Do what to you, huh? Tie you up the same way you did to me? Maybe give you a taste of your own medicine?"

Bonnie rolled her eyes and looked back at the magazine she held, ignoring him.

"Bonnie, please, I'm begging you," he whined. "I promise I won't hurt you. Just please please let me relieve my bladder before I explode!"

Bonnie glared at his pained expression and then tossed aside her magazine with a huff.

"Fine," she sighed, standing up and covertly slipping her stun gun – which she'd thankfully remembered from buying the previous day – into her back pocket. "But on one condition."

"Ugh, what do you want?" Kai snapped.

"Tell me what you were going to do after we ate dinner."

"Look, Bon, I know you think that I have some kind of great scheme up my sleeve, but – "

"You can't leave without me, right?" Bonnie interrupted. "You need my magic, you need the spell, and you need me. But you were obviously planning on doing something to me. So if you tell me what your plan was, then I might think about letting you up."

"Bonnie. You're delusional."

"Says the man who murdered almost his entire family and has absolutely no remorse about it," Bonnie retorted. Kai scoffed and turned his head away from her. "You know what would help you clear your mind?" Kai pointedly ignored her, refusing to face her. "A nice, long shower," Bonnie stated, smiling as Kai turned his head to shoot her a death glare. "Can't you just picture the water trickling down your neck and across your stomach? Trailing over your legs and seeping down the drain?"

Kai groaned and screwed his eyes shut, squirming on the bed as he attempted to block out her teasing words.

"Ooh, and just imagine how warm the water would be," Bonnie continued, grinning as Kai bit his lip, his body stiffening further. "Mmm, imagine the warm water dripping down your back and off your fingertips. Drip. Drip. Drip."

"Enough!" Kai screamed, beads of sweat forming at his temple. The sight made Bonnie bite her lip to hold back a laugh.

"What was your plan, Kai?" Bonnie repeated her question. "Tell me and I'll let you into the bathroom."

Kai panted harder, chewing at his lip, eyebrows scrunched tightly together.

After a few more seconds of silence in the room – except for the sound of Kai's heavy breathing – Bonnie whispered, "Drip, drip, drip."

"Magic!" Kai shouted, the taunt muscles of his arms flexing as he fought to remain in control over his bladder. "There's magic and there's always a loop-hole. I don't need you. All I need is your magic and the spell and your stupid blood."

Bonnie narrowed her eyes as she observed him.

"My blood?" she repeated. Kai nodded once and swallowed. "So you were planning to take my blood – obviously by force – and the spell… which you've already heard me do twice. Great. But I don't have any magic left."

"And whose fault is that, huh?" Kai retorted.

Bonnie was silent for a few moments as she considered his words.

"Come on, Bon, we had a deal!" Kai whined. "I told you everything."

"No, you didn't," Bonnie countered. "You told me the loop-hole, not your entire plan. And I don't have any magic left."

"You're smart enough to figure out my plan without me telling you," he huffed. "Now untie me."

Bonnie ignored him for a few moments. Kai sat in near silence as he painfully waited for what she'd do next. It was less than five seconds later that Bonnie said, "There's magic."

"What?"

"You said there's magic," she repeated. "And since I obviously have none, then you must've planned to get it from somewhere else."

"See, I told you you're smart," Kai answered. "Untie me."

"Where is it? Where's the magic you were going to use?"

"Bonnie Bennett, I swear if you don't untie me right now and let me take a leak, I will do it on this bed and sing nothing but Achey Breaky Heart for the rest of your miserable life in this place," Kai growled.

Bonnie cringed, wanting to gag at the thought of having to deal with Kai's bed and clothes being soaked in his own urine.

She sighed heavily and moved towards his legs, untying them quickly, much to Kai's surprise. Once his ankles were free, she moved towards his arms and untied one from the bedpost just to tie it to his other wrist. She removed his second hand from the bedpost and tugged at the rope that connected his hands together at his front, helping him up from the bed.

Kai stood up awkwardly and was wordless as Bonnie led him down the hallway and into the bathroom. It had no windows; his only way of escape was back through the door, and without magic to cloak himself, the chances of him getting away were low.

Bonnie pushed Kai into the bathroom and informed him, "I'm standing outside of this door. Don't do anything you might regret later." She stepped out of the room to stand with her back against the wall next to the bathroom door, crossing her arms over her chest as she waited. After ten seconds of silence, she quirked an eyebrow and called out, "What's the matter, Kai? Having performance issues?"

His answering scoff made her smirk.

"No," he shot back, "it's just difficult to pull down your zipper when your wrists are tied together and your bladder's about to burst." After a moment of silence, Kai smugly asked, "Mind giving me a hand?"

Bonnie rolled her eyes. "You can manage on your own. I'm sure this isn't the first time you've unzipped your pants in a hurry to take care of a bodily urge."

"Bonnie Bennet," Kai teasingly scolded in surprise. She could hear him smiling as he spoke. "Did your innocent little mouth just make a dirty joke?"

Bonnie couldn't help herself, couldn't stop her words before they were already spilling out. "What makes you think my mouth is so innocent?"

She immediately cringed at herself. She was only making the situation worse by encouraging him, but she missed playful banter with other people.

Kai let out a whole-hearted laugh that she could tell shook his whole body from his slight groan at the end. "You're killing me, Bon."

"Then just pee already," she exhaled in annoyance.

After the sound of a zipper being pulled down, Kai's victorious exclamation of 'Finally!', and the sound of water trickling (which made Bonnie's face scrunch up in disgust), the toilet flushed and the faucet turned on. Bonnie breathed a sigh of relief and rounded the corner to lean against the door frame, her arms still crossed as she watched him scrub his hands – well, scrub them as best as he could with his wrists tied together.

"I'm glad you're one of those guys who actually values their hygiene," she stated. "I was afraid I'd have to use my adult voice to make you wash your hands."

Kai shot Bonnie a disbelieving look before shutting off the water and awkwardly reaching for a towel with both hands.

"That's disgusting," he said with a cringe. "I'm a sociopath, not a nasty weirdo."

Bonnie shrugged with a pout of her lips. "I don't know, Kai. The last time I watched someone scoop jam out of a jar with their bare hands and then lick it off their fingers, I thought they were a nasty weirdo."

Kai released the towel and grinned. "Aw come on, Bon. You and I both know the jam thing was just to show you what I can do with my tongue and my mouth." He shot her a wink as he took a step towards her, awaiting her next move.

Bonnie gave him a fake, close-mouthed smile. "I knew you were going to say that, so then why am I still so incredibly grossed out?"

Kai licked his lips and glanced down at Bonnie's. His dark gaze lifted to meet her eyes.

"I think you're getting your grossed out emotion confused with your turned on one," he said with a grin. "It's ok, Bon. It happens to the best of us."

Bonnie didn't give him the pleasure of reacting to the comment. Instead, she looped her fingers through the rope that bound his hands together and tugged, forcing him to follow her back into his bedroom.

"Ooh Bonnie, I never realized you'd be so forward," Kai announced as she walked him towards his bed. "I mean, I figured you had a bit of a naughty streak in you, but damn."

Bonnie glared at him and shoved him backwards. Kai fell onto his back, landing in the middle of the bed with a quiet intake of breath. Bonnie wasted no time in getting onto the bed with him, ignoring his open enthusiasm as she planted her knees on either side of his stomach. She clutched his wrists and raised them above his head, having to lean forward in order to reach the bed posts above his head. While this position was necessary to tie his wrists back to the bed posts, she made sure not to let any party of her body make contact with his.

Kai let out an unashamed moan, staring at Bonnie with parted lips that were screwed into a smirk and lidded eyes. "Ya' know, when I pictured this exact scenario in my head, I imagined less clothing involved," Kai murmured in a slightly lower voice.

"Oh did you, now?" Bonnie pretended to ponder as she swiftly untied his wrists from each other.

"Mm, yep," Kai answered, his dark eyes never leaving Bonnie's face. "Which reminds me, I was going to ask you to take off this hoodie since I'm a little tied up at the moment."

Bonnie sighed, deciding that it would be easier to grant him this wish then to have to cut off the hoodie later when he complained that he was too warm. She cautiously released his wrists and leaned back, still making sure not to rest against any part of his body.

"Go ahead," she ordered, motioning towards his hands.

Kai hesitated for a moment before flashing Bonnie a smirk and quickly shedding the hoodie. After some difficulty of tugging the sleeves off of his rope-covered wrists, he held the article of clothing in his hands and stared at Bonnie mischievously.

"What makes you think I won't just escape right now?" he challenged. "I'm not tied to this bed anymore. I could easily overpower you."

"Could you?" Bonnie teased, keeping eye contact as she pulled the hoodie from his grip and tossed it behind her shoulder. Her hands immediately circled his wrists and separated his arms, holding them down so that his hands laid next to the corner bed posts.

"Yeah, obviously," Kai laughed once, as if the question was ridiculous. "You're not even pinning me down properly."

Bonnie knew he'd said those exact words just to get her to do it, because he was dirty and twisted and loved egging her on, and she knew it'd give him exactly what he wanted if she did it. She knew she shouldn't, that it would be a stupid, terrible idea.

But she went against her better judgement and did it anyways.

Bonnie pinned Kai's hands to the bed with her own, his palms up, and then she slowly dragged her nails down his bare skin: from his exposed wrists, down his forearms, across the inside of his elbows, and then over his biceps. Kai held his breath the whole time, his eyes slipping shut as Bonnie's nails dug into his flesh. She paused her nail's descent once she reached the sleeves of his grey t-shirt. Kai held completely, not allowing a single muscle to move as he waited for Bonnie to do something. His cheeks were flushed as Bonnie allowed the slightest, barely noticeable brush of her thighs against the side of Kai's rib cage. His sudden intake of breath was proof enough that he'd definitely noticed the contact.

"Was that a challenge or a threat?" Bonnie asked, quirking an eyebrow at him.

Kai grinned.

"Maybe a little bit of both."

Bonnie inhaled sharply as Kai suddenly lurched forward, gripping her hips with a shocking strength and flipping them over so that she was underneath of him. He grinned so widely that his lips pulled back to reveal his glinting teeth. His eyes, pupils blown so wide that only a sliver of blue remained, sparkled with horrific delight as he held Bonnie's wrists against the bed. It sent a cold shiver down Bonnie's spine, a hot sweat across her skin, and raised goosebumps on her arms.

Kai noticed every reaction. His eyes only seemed to get darker and glint more deviously, his toothy grin spreading into a wide smile.

Bonnie didn't want to admit that his reaction to her response almost terrified her. The almost part – the fact that she wasn't completely disturbed, but slightly thrilled at his reaction – was what scared her the most. She shouldn't be feeling these jolts of electricity spreading across her skin or a burn in the pit of her stomach. And yet knowing that she shouldn't be feeling such things only made them stronger. This entire situation was wrong, and that's exactly what made it feel so damn good.

Kai was suddenly at her neck then, his too-hot breath blowing against her ear and her neck. She winced and tried not to squirm, to not make him even hungrier for her.

"You didn't actually think I would willingly let you tie me down again, did you, Bon?" he breathed, more hot air hitting her neck. "Is that what you thought? That I'd just stay still like a good little prisoner and let you slap on the shackles? Huh, Bonnie? Is that what you thought?"

Bonnie's eyebrows tugged together as she fought to remain calm, both from fear and… something else that she wasn't going to acknowledge she was feeling.

"Answer me!" Kai growled, shaking her arms and causing Bonnie to flinch.

"You said you wouldn't hurt me," Bonnie answered, avoiding his question.

Kai raised his eyebrows incredulously at her.

"Oh, you think this is what it's like when I hurt someone?" he asked, laughing once. "I did promise that, and I'm not breaking that promise. In fact, I planned to make you feel the exact opposite of pain. What dya' say, Bon? Think you're up for it?"

Bonnie froze. That. That was her escape. Kai was so caught up in his hormone-fueled lust that he wasn't paying attention to anything around him. He'd failed to notice the set of her lips as she formulated a plan in less than a second. He'd failed to pin down more than just her arms, and it was all because of his ridiculous hormones – which seemed to match the young age he was stuck at.

After taking in a breath and meeting his heavy stare, Bonnie said, "I think the better question is if you're up for it." Although her arms were pinned and Kai loomed above her, their bodies were nearly six inches apart. Bonnie used this to her advantage. She suddenly lifted her hips up and rolled them into Kai's. His breath caught in his throat. Bonnie smirked. "Well this part of you is definitely up for it."

Kai's wrecked moan was the only verbal response Bonnie received before he was laying his head in the crook of her neck.

"Bon," he whispered roughly, his arms visibly shaking as he fought to control himself. His grip on her wrists had tightened further. She needed to change that.

Bonnie titled her head to the side and lightly licked a stripe up Kai's ear, raising her hip to grind against his at the same time.

"Ah!" Kai cried out, digging his nails into Bonnie's skin.

Bonnie let out a soft groan at the pain – because that was obviously all she was groaning about – but Kai didn't recognize it as a sign of discomfort. It made him grip her tighter. Bonnie relaxed into the bed, making Kai lose all friction and hoping he'd grow frustrated from it. But he only panted a few times, seemingly trying to catch his breath. Bonnie couldn't have any of that. She needed him to be going crazy with need if she was going to escape. She needed to kick it up a notch.

With a steadying breath, Bonnie managed to get her right leg out from underneath of Kai and dragged her heel up the back of his leg, all the way from his ankle up to the top of his thigh. Kai hissed and leaned forward, more into Bonnie. His grip had begun to loosen. With a newfound vigor, Bonnie raised her hips again and used her leg to tilt Kai's hips into hers so that he was flush against her. Her breath stuttered and Kai let out a nearly frantic whine. Bonnie turned and bit his earlobe, and with a breathy moan, Kai released her hands and wrapped his arms around the middle of her back, tightly grasping her flesh as he pulled her tightly against him. He turned his head into her neck and licked, literally licked, at the beads of sweat that had gathered on her skin. Bonnie gasped and scratched his back roughly. Kai groaned.

"Bonnie," he stammered, rolling his hips into hers for the first time and making a broken sound at the contact.

She needed to act quickly before she lost all control of herself.

Bonnie ran a hand through his hair and scratched at his scalp, using her other hand to reach behind her. She tugged at Kai's hair, making him scrunch his eyes shut.

Now.

Bonnie turned off the safety, put the contact probes of the stun gun against the side of Kai's neck, and pushed the button. The resulting zapping sounds and Kai's scream of anguish made Bonnie jump. After more than five seconds of shocking him, Bonnie released the button and squirmed out from underneath of Kai's twitching body. She quickly rolled him onto his back and tied his wrists back to the bed posts, then moved to do the same to his ankles. Because of her adrenalin and the practice she'd been getting, she had gotten much better and faster at tying knots. It took her mere seconds to tie him completely down.

By the time she was done, Kai was blinking away the confusion and giving her the most pathetic, defeated look she'd ever witnessed. She refused to feel sorry for him.

"Next time you have to pee," Bonnie began as she caught her breath, "I think I'll make you use a bottle."

I am honestly ashamed of myself for making Bonnie hurt Kai so much. But hey, it's their thing! Also, I'm trying to build up as much tension as possible without them even kissing (which you can probably tell already). Sorry if it's maddening! :D

Leave a review and until next time!
