Narrative:

With a student exiting the mini-route out of (departure airport); we descended for left traffic runway 21 at santa monica. Since ksmo tower closed at 9:00 local; we announced our intentions on the CTAF 120.10. While entering left downwind; turning base; while on base; and on short final; we announced that we were landing runway 21. We touched down about midway of the 4973 feet runway. I noticed one airplane was taxiing next to taxiway A3 while we over the runway about to round out. We touched down and were in the last 1;500 feet of the runway approaching intersection B2 and A2 when suddenly bright landing lights illuminated the area surrounding us which was almost immediately followed by the loud sound of a beechcraft king air that had buzzed just over and to the right within 100 feet of our position on the runway. It was apparent the pilot maneuvered to the right to avoid possibly hitting us. We were completely unaware of the airplane until this moment; since it was behind us. We verified from another pilot on the airfield that the king air came from the FBO and did indeed depart runway 21. We did not spend any abnormal amount of time on the runway after touchdown. Our airplane was fully illuminated with a lighted tail position light; landing light; strobes; and navigation lights at all times. The king air pilots did not announce their intentions or position ever while we were on frequency. We did hear one pilot who exited the runway as we began our decent for the downwind out of ZZZ about 5 minutes before the incident; but that was all. The judgement and decision of the king air to takeoff without announcing intentions in a busy terminal area such as santa monica; indeed noting the tower was closed and it was under CTAF; seriously compromised the safety of both us. If I could guess; the pilot never noticed us come in since he seemed to be on the incorrect frequency and did not verify the runway environment was clear prior to entering the runway. Perhaps the pilot was stressed to meet a deadline and neglected waiting or performing the typical procedure pilots take to avoid collisions with other aircraft by clearing the area. A crew on a king air should be more responsible. I'm unaware of the operation they conducted; but the lives of anyone on their plane and my student and I could have been kept safer had the king air pilots exercised more attention to the environment and listened to the proper frequency. Pilots should be required to announce and listen to CTAF in terminal areas such as los angeles.
