Kieran looked down as well and stiffened, realizing what he’d done. What I’d just made him do with a few words and a single touch.“Your body betrays you,” I whispered. “Just as you made mine do only a few days ago. So I think we’re even now that you know how it feels to have no control while someon

Kieran’s POVI stormed into the kitchen. The staff scattered like roaches when I entered, but I didn’t care about them.
