Keisha

Breaking a man is entertaining in so many ways.

Kade LeBeau might be a rising star of the konpa world but at hear,t he's still like any other man: predictable. This works in my favor because tonight I've decided to step into my worse villainess persona to make him pay for making me shed tears this week.

I know it's not all that surprising to discover nudes on a man's phone but for some reason,n I saw re when I saw those pictures in Kadrick's gallery. He tried to give me some lame excuse about a WhatsApp feature that I didn't give a shit about.

The guy is mine he should not be looking at any other pussy. I don't care if the world was burning and it was the only way to save his life.

This is the problem with men, you start showing too much interest and they take you for granted. I've been in this dating game way too long to let this slide. Tonight is the perfect opportunity to let Kadrick know that this fine piece of woman doesn't like to be treated like an imbecile.  It's about time he understands that I am a top priority. I will have Kadrick on his knees before I take him back in my good graces.

"Can you please smile a little?" Norabel's voice brings me out of mischievous plans to destroy Kadrick. She's holding my phone to take pictures of me in my outfit for the show at Kole Sere. "You look like you're about to go to war," she adds disapprovingly. 

"Well, that's exactly how I feel."

My best friend raises one of her perfectly trimmed eyebrows, I did the and heaves a sigh before sitting down on her bed. She pats the spot next to her.

"Come here."

I cross the room to sit down by her side. A short moment of silence stretches before Nora takes my hand into hers speaking in a gentle tone.

"How are you? I know that this whole situation with Kadrick is upsetting you but I feel like there's something else going on."

I finally look at her, the genuine concern that I see in her eyes makes my chest tighten. I bite the inside of my cheeks to avoid getting emotional. Now is not the time for tears. I'm supposed to be a bad bitch tonight.

"I guess I'm disappointed in myself for setting my expectations too high about this relationship."

"Oh Kish, why would you say that?"

"You know I've never really lucked out in the love department and not for the fault of trying," I let out a derisive laugh that dies out quickly. "This time with Kadrick feels different from what I've experienced before. There's a spark that I'm afraid will turn into a raging fire that's going to burn every sense of rationality that I have left. All my previous relationships have made me crazy. I don't want to lose control again. He's getting under my skin Norabel and I'm not sure I like it."

My best friend touches the long braid dangling in front of my face and twirls it around her finger. I know her well enough to know that this line creasing her forehead indicates that she's reviewing in her mind the best answer she could give me. 

"You deserve all the happiness in this world,d Keisha," she declares with fondness. "We both know I don't have enough experience to tell you if  Kadrick is truly the one but what I know is that from all the romance books you've read, your standards have gotten high enough to determine exactly what you want from a man. If deep down you know Kadrickcano to be that kind of person you should give him a chance to be."

I give my best friend a warm smile as she pokes my cheek.

"When did you get so good at giving relationship advice?"

She laughs and brings me in for a hug.

I'm starting to realize that tonight might take a different turn than what I expected and I find myself growing more and more excited to see how it unfolds.

"Can you please look at me?" Kadrick begs.

We've been driving for about fifteen minutes and the cold silence inside the car would put a winter in Alaska to shame. I've been mostly ignoring all of his previous attempts at trying to make small talk. He asked about my week, complimented my outfit, asked about uni, and then threw another compliment about how I looked. He fell short of banalities to say until now.

I debate for a few seconds whether or not I'm going to indulge in his request then I compose my most 'resting bitch' face before I turn to face him.

Kadrick's eyes are two swimming pools of misery and I couldn't be happier.

"There, I'm looking at you. Are you satisfied?"

"I miss you."

That's all he says. His voice is a quivering flame struggling in the icy wind of my silent anger.

"I know I fucked up," he says again. "I'm truly sorry that I gave you a reason to doubt my loyalty to you but I promise that I've not been seeing anyone since we started going out."

I swallow down the lump in my throat. My emotions have to remain on a leash for now. When I'm sure my voice is steady enough I manage to speak with a satisfying coldness. 

"I'm not only angry about those nudes Kadrick. Ever since we've put on a label on this relationship it feels like I constantly have to second guess if you're a hundred percent into this. Do you know how tiresome that is? I always have to worry about you losing interest because you're often surrounded by women who are more than willing to throw themselves at you."

"The only woman I want is you Kei–"

"Then act like it!" I cut him off vehemently. "Earn it."

For a brief moment,t we get caught up in a staring contest until I finally face back the window and the rest of the ride is spent in complete silence.

When our chauffeur parks in Kole Sere I'm about to open my door but Kadrick's hand on my arm stops me.

"Please stay. I'll get the door for you."

I almost argue but his lost puppy expression softens my heart so I sit back. Besides I do deserve to have doors opened for me.

Once I step outside, Kadrick holds my hand for longer than necessary,y and judging from the way he looks worried I can already tell he's going to say something to get on my nerves.

"Can we forget that we're fighting tonight and just enjoy ourselves?"

"That's a great plan but we don't have to do it together."

"God you're impossible," he mutters to gritted teeth.

I yank my hand out of his and stare him down, rage and thunderstorms blazing through my voice as I snap. "Say that again to my face Kadrick, I dare you!"

"I didn't mean it in a bad way– "

"Do not insult my intelligence. You think I'm stupid?"

He throws his hands in the air.

"When did I ever say that? You always have to paint me out to be the bad guy. That's not fair!"

"Oh great. Since I've turned into Cruella de Vil I'm gonna  do you a favor and stay out of your space tonight."

"Keisha please, let's make a truce. At least temporary."

The poor guy sounds really exhausted but too bad for him he decided to call me 'impossible' right before asking for peace.

"You better not try to even breathe in my direction tonight I'm warning you."

With that,t I walk past him ignoring the pleas he's throwing at my back.

It's time to go have fun and let him drown in despair.

***

Norabel and I have collectively gathered the attention of most men in the VIP section of Kole Sere. As we both danced I noticed that Ethan kept eating my best friend with his eyes and I have no idea what he was waiting to come to ask her to dance. Maybe he's keeping company to his friend who seems to be agonizing.

I'd be lying if I said that I haven't been keeping an eye on Kadrick. I noticed the way he seemed tensed whenever a man tried to approach me. Even if we're fighting I don't want to hurt his feelings by making him jealous, that's why I've refused to dance with any man who asked me to. I'm having a blast by myself anyways.

I'm the first one to notice Ethan walking in our direction so I lean toward Norabel's ears to give her the heads up.

"Make him sweat babe," I recommend fiercely. "And for the love of everything holy, let your pussy have some action tonight!"

I scurry away under her scandalized expression and decide to stop by the bar to order a glass of Rhum Barbancourt*. While sipping my drink I decide to join a dimly lit area with an eye-catching wall aquarium. I stand before it hypnotized by the view of those fishes swimming around rocks and corals. The lack of brightness in the small space accentuates the blue reflection of light behind the glass.

My senses are alerted of Kadrick's presence behind me right before his breathing flirts with my neck. His body maintains some distance in a subtle attempt at giving me space. That's kind of cute.

"I know you warned me to stay away," his voice is low and I detect an edge that I've now become familiar with. "You knew damn well it would be impossible for me to do that."

My skin tingles with the possibility of what might happen here in this quiet part of the bar. It's only us standing here but it's an area that connects both floors so people who take the stairs might notice us from a distance.

"Why are you here Kadrick?" 

A useless question because I'm able to guess his intention when he closes the remaining distance between us to make his body come in contact with my back.

"I'm here because I've made peace with the fact that I'm desperate for you in ways beyond reparation. Now if you want me to get on my knees and beg for your forgiveness I will do just that. Say the word."

My breath catches in my throat as his hands begin to travel from my shoulders down the length of my arms. It's not an erotic touch but it still awakens the fire sleeping inside of me.

"There are more interesting things that you could do instead of begging," I murmur, my thighs pressed to each other in anticipation.

Kadrick's voice in my ear is a mixture of pain and hunger when he asks, "What kind of things Keisha?"

The game is on and I know neither of us is willing to lose.

"Figure it out."

The words have just left my mouth and both of his hands slide under the side of my breasts, my backless dress making it easy for him. When his palms cover my naked boobs I bite my lips to prevent any suggestive sound from escaping.

"Does that mean I'm forgiven?" Kadrick asks as he tweaks my hard nipples.

My head falls back, hitting his chest and I have to control the shake of my grasp around the glass of rum to avoid crashing it to the ground.

"Don't push your luck," I warn him though my voice falters when he kisses my neck and softly bites the tender skin there. He knows that this is one of my weak spots.

Kadrick chuckles mockingly at my attempt to appear in control. I would gladly kick his feet with my heels but my twin babies would hate me if Kadrick suddenly stopped showing them his affection.

"Guess I should leave then," he muses. Given the fact I'm not wanted here."

As he says this, his right-hand trails down the front of my body. A tornado awakens inside my belly under his provocative touch.

"I dare you to walk away now and see what happens."

When his fingertips finally brush the lacy fabric of my thong, he doesn't slide under it. Instead,d he continues his caress leisurely over my pubis until his hand is perfectly nestled in the heat between my legs like a possessive claim.

"What will you do?" He asks.

His fingers slide under my thong to part my labia, he groans when he finds me already wet and throbbing for him. When he starts to explore, the glass almost drops from my grip but Kadrick who's quicker than me catches it with his other hand.

"Not much of a tigress now are you?"

He begins to play with my clit while thrusting a finger inside of me at the same time. I'm losing sight of reality but I still try to sass him.

"I know it makes you hard when I'm mean to you," I manage to squeak while he fucks my tight hole with his middle finger.

"I'll make you pay for that attitude later tonight with my cock."

"Is that a threat or a promise?"

Kadrick doesn't get the chance to answer because a ringtone coming from his pocket shatters our private bubble. He curses under his breath as he pulls out of me and I try not to scream my frustration.

"Who the fuck is even calling you right now?"

"It's one of the boys," Kadrick says after checking his phone. "They left me several messages. It's time for us to go onstage."

I rearrange my underwear as discreetly as I can before turning around. I find Kadrick looking at me with a strange expression that I can't interpret.

"Will you wait for me when I come off stage?"

There's a vulnerability in his voice that tells me he's asking more than what his words are saying.

What he truly wants to know is if I'm willing to give him another chance. He wants to be reassured that the moment we almost shared here wasn't only due to a mutual outburst of lust.

I maintain eye contact as I give him my answer.

"I'll be waiting."

Fireworks go off in his eyes and I smile brightly.

When I make my way back to my best friend, she's still on the dance floor with Ethan. He's staring at Norabel as if all of his oxygen is provided by the simple sight of her. I feel bad for interrupting their moment to announce that Collision is about to perform but I know that Ethan will make sure to catch her up later tonight.

***

After the wild performance of Collision, I expected Kadrick to be too tired to resume our little game but after sending his bandmates back to the VIP area, he guided me toward his private lodge.

As soon as he closes the door behind us, my back collides with it while he steals my lips for a ravenous kiss. Our hands are desperately grasping at each other and I make a space for him between my legs to feel his body on top of mine.

When we break apart to catch our breath, he dips his head toward to thev-linee cut of my dress. With a simple nudge, he uncovers one of my naked boobs and begins to expertly suck the hard button making me shiver. Unashamed moans leave my lips as my manicured nails dig into his shoulder blades.

"Kadrick wait..." I pant and tug at his blazer to make him stand straight.

"Something wrong, precious?" he asks and my heart melts just like every time he uses that name for me.

"No one is going to come in here right?"

Even if the door is locked I'd still hate for someone to knock and interrupt our moment.

"No one will come," Kadrick reassures me.

I expect him to go back to kissing my nipple but instead,d he lowers himself to the ground in front of me.

"What are you doing?" 

Even as I ask this, my pulsating core is fully aware of what's about to happen.

"You wanted me on my knees tonight, didn't you?"

Kadrick maintains eye contact while his hands reach under my dress to slide off my panties. Without a word he grabs my right leg and hooks it above his shoulder, my heel grazing his flesh. This position puts his face right in front of my exposed pussy.

"If you want to say something goes ahead," Kadrick instructs his voice drunk with desire.

"Don't hold back," I say and his smirk tells me everything I need to know.

"It wasn't in my intention."

I close my eyes, the second his wet tongue taunts my entrance. I suddenly realize it's going to be a challenge for me to remain upright while he's getting busy down there. He puts a light kiss on my inner thigh before he moves to my burning center where he sucks, licks,s and tortures me as my moans of pleasure become background noise.

Kadrick eats my pussy like a starving man. I combust under every flicker of his tongue. I'm bursting out of my skin, eyes watering, my breathing a mess and my thoughts incoherent. I want him to stop and I want him to keep going forever. 

When my orgasm crashes over me I see millions of stars in the darkness of my closed eyelids. Kadrick doesn't stop showing me how much he's sorry with his tongue.

I let him drive me crazy because insanity has never felt so great before.
