Part 8:

Kai sat on the couch, in her and Shane's hotel room, waiting for him to join her. Absently, she reached up and touched her hair. She hoped it looked all right.
After the show, the Boy Wonder had asked his Billion Dollar Princess sister to help Kai upstairs while he went over some papers with their parents, Steph had agreed almost too eagerly. Once alone with her brother's girlfriend, the young brunette started talking a mile a minute.
"I like you Kai. You're not intimidated by the family like Shane's other girlfriends. I guess that's because you're a star by your own rights. And everyone likes you so much already which is kind of weird since no one ever likes the same person at the same time."
"Well…"
"I totally understand why though. It's because you're blind, you know."
"It is?"
"Oh yeah. We can totally be ourselves with you. You don't care about our looks."
"I wouldn't go that far. I mean, I used to see before. I remember Mark and I loved his looks."
"I know but the guys don't have to strut around you, or stick their pecs out to impress you. It's a nice change for them."
"I guess."
At some point during the conversation, Steph had made it to Kai and Shane's room and had kept on talking. Nervous about the upcoming night with Shane, Kai had fidgeted, trying to subtly hint to the fact that she wanted to be alone.
"If you have to go," she'd told her, "it's ok. Shane helped me put my things away when we got here so I can get ready for bed without any help."
Stephanie had giggled at that.
"If I'm right, and I usually am, tonight's the big night, right?"
After bullying Kai to answer in the positive, Steph had taken over, leaving her brother's nervous girlfriend sitting on the couch wearing a satin nightgown and robe Kat had also bullied Kai into buying off the Victoria's Secrets website. The Billion Dollar Princess had brushed Kai's hair until it shone, tucking it back behind her ears.
"This is ridiculous," she told herself.
"Chicken."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Aren't inner voices supposed to support us?"
"We steer you in the right direction. By the way, raise the hem on that gown. Show a little leg."
"You... aaaaaaarghh!"
"See, you need this. Wanting sex and not getting any's made you go over the edge."
"Suuure. I'll attack Shane and tell him he has to make love to me to keep me sane."
"You know," Shane said from the doorway where he'd been watching her, "I can't risk your sanity."
"Shane! Shit! Damn you!"
"Me?" he asked, coming into the room, "what did I do?"
"No, not you, my… never mind."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
Kai felt the bed sink down next to her and Shane's arms come around her as he pulled her into his arms for a long kiss. She sighed and gave herself up to the embrace, enjoying the feel of his lips on her, her tongue in his mouth and vice versa.
"If you were chocolate, obesity would start looking mighty good."
"Flatterer."
Shane rolled over and looked down at his baby, heart swelling with joy. Love was a great thing. He lowered his mouth to hers and started the most important, and most entertaining and most nerve-wracking thing he'd ever set his mind to accomplishing. He made love to his girlfriend.

"You know," Kat said ten minutes after Kai had come online, "making me wait is not nice."
"Oh hi Kat," Kai said with a smile, "I didn't know you were on."
"I won't formalize myself over that blatant lie… now, give me details and start slowly. If I'm going to live vicariously through you and your sex life, I don't want you to rush me."
"You are not a well woman."
"Gosh darn and me thinking… what the fuck?"
Kat blinked as an AIM window popped open on top of Kai's. It was the user's ID name that made her heart stop: Adam's Edge.
"Kat?" was his first question.
"And you are?"
"A friend of Kai's. She said you were a cool person to talk to."
"She's right, I am cool. Give me a second."
"Sure."
Kat quickly switched back to her initial AIM window back to Kai.
"You are kidding me, right? That's not who I think it is, is it?"
"Let's just say I gave your AIM ID to a few of the guys and some of them expressed a distinct interest in you. Especially after I divulged a few of your secrets, the few secrets you didn't expose on the sh"
"Secrets? What secrets?"
"The naughty ones."
"Good. All right, well, I'm ditching your ass. I don't want to make my admirers wait. Thanks again bella. Love ya!"
Kai laughed and Shane came to stand next to her.
"What's up?"
"Tell your boys to watch themselves. Kat's going to mess with their brains."
"I don't care. I like Kat. Without her, you might have never gotten that kick in the rear to get in touch with me. It's like we had our own fairy godmother, or angel or genie or something."
"You know," genie Stephanie whined to her fellow genies as they watched over Kai, Shane, Kat and the men eager to find out more about the outrageous Canadian, "we're like Rodney Dangerfield. We get no fucking respect."
