KAEL’S POVThe penthouse was dark.I stood in front of the window watching the city lights blinking below me. Everything looked small from up here. Everything except her.Ivy.I poured myself a drink, but I did not drink it, I just held the cold glass in my hand.I thought about the night, every word she said and every look on her face. The way her gray eyes met mine. The way she did not blink. The way her voice stayed steady even when her hands were shaking.She was afraid, but she did not run and I respected that.Miranda was there too. I remembered her. I remember the way she leaned into me. The way her fingers traced circles on my arm. The way she whispered in my ear like we were still something.But I felt nothing. No anger and no desire. And not even annoyance.Nothing.With Miranda, what I felt was physical. On the surface, just two bodies, with no connection. With Ivy, it was different. Everytime I looked at her, I could not look away. My eyes moved to her lips. To her hands.
