Paisley and Kai have an argument, thought Kai doesn’t really understand why. “I’m not crazy, and I don’t have a drug problem. I only use knives in the kitchen, for their specific, food related purposes. And if I got pregnant by you, I’d keep it, because it would show how much you love me.” Paisley…

Kai tells Paisley about his former girlfriend, who stabbed him.  Their kisses the day before, had nothing on this one. Taking on a life of its own, it possessed them both, making them hungry and satisfying their longing in one long, luxurious moment. How long they kissed, he didn’t know. It made no difference. However,…

Kai has a chat with his step-father about his former girlfriends. “Megan?” “O’Toole. Also not a virgin. We dated a couple weeks, but she took up with the captain of the football team. I guess captain of the swim team wasn’t jock enough for her. Brianna seduced me at a party.” “Literally?” “Yup. She was…

Brad is waiting when Kai gets home. He wants to have a chat about Paisley. I know,” Kai said quickly. “She told me that too, Brad. Look, I have no illusions about complications. But I can’t help….” “You can’t help falling hard. I saw it in your face. You’re hooked already. You’re too much like…

Paisley tells Kai more about her life, Kai finds it even more difficult to keep his hands off her. They make out for a little while. “Did he hit you?” “Sometimes. If he’d been with me tonight, he wouldn’t have stopped. If I’d ever let him get that close, he’d have….” “You don’t have to…

Kai takes Paisley to her apartment, after they have dinner with his family. “Nice.” He nodded, carrying the groceries to her kitchenette. He put up food as she fixed coffee. Once it was ready, they sat on her couch, sipping the hot, strong brew. “Good coffee,” he commented by way of starting conversation. “Thanks. My…

Paisley tells Kai more about her background, and why she ran away. “We usually eat in the kitchen,” Nina explained. “But it’s so nice to have company, I thought we’d eat out here. This is my husband, Brad. Honey, this is the girl I told you about, Paisley.” “Hi, Paisley. Nice to finally meet you.…

Nina, Kai’s mom, invites Paisley to come home with them, and have dinner. “Yeah. Bites, lemme tell ya. We all three hit major holidays. Cody’s New Year’s Day and Tempy’s on Valentine’s.” “That totally bites,” she agreed. “Got any sisters as hot as you?” Cody blurted out. “Preferably my age?” Paisley smiled, shaking her head.…

After work, Kai offers to take Paisley home, so she won’t have to ride the bus. “It’s okay. Thank you.” “Come on in and wait. The bugs are getting nasty. They’ll eat you alive.” She walked with him, back to the building. His mother was just coming out looking for him, when they walked up.…

Kai finds out a little more about Paisley, mostly that she left Tennessee because of an abusive boyfriend. “I wish I had you for a brother.” “No you don’t. I scare every guy away, who even looks at Tempy funny. She’s told me a million times I’m killing her love life.” “How old is she?”…
