Elowen's cries spilled through the house, loud and breathless.​Sweat slicked her skin, and her body shook beneath Kieran's. Her fingers clutched at his shoulders as though letting go would make her fall, and she cried out his name again and again.​His movements were rough and urgent, almost angry, as if he were pouring all his frustration into her. Sweat dripped from his chest onto hers, and the smell of alcohol and cigar smoke clung to his skin. Elowen sensed that something had upset him tonight, though she had no idea what. But she did not mind, not one bit, because she craved this just as much as he did.​It had been a long time since she had felt this kind of pleasure with him. Between his exhaustion, his business trips, and the hours he spent helping her sister-in-law with her movie, they hardly had any time together. And on the rare nights they did, he never lasted more than five minutes before he was done.​But tonight, Kieran didn't stop.​Elowen couldn't even bring herself

Valentina threw her arms around Elowen before she could step back.​"I was starting to think you two wouldn't make it!" She pulled away, her hands still resting on Elowen's arms, and her bright eyes searched her face. "You look so pale. Are you feeling alright?"​Elowen's stomach tightened. The perfume was the same one Valentina always wore, and so was the warmth in her voice. It was almost unbearable how exactly the same it was.​"Just a long day at work," she said, surprised by how steady her voice sounded.​"You work too hard." Valentina clicked her tongue, then turned to Kieran with a smile. "Thank you for bringing her."​"I wouldn't miss it," Kieran replied.​His voice was easy and polite. Elowen watched his face, and for the first time in her marriage, she found herself searching for something in it. A glance held a second too long. A softness around the eyes. She found nothing, and somehow that frightened her more than if she had.​How long have they been doing this to me?​"Co

Outside the hotel, the night air was cool against Elowen's flushed skin. Kieran did not slow down when they reached the car. The driver opened the door, and Kieran put her inside without the care he had shown in the ballroom. She landed hard against the seat with a muffled groan.He got in beside her and shut the door. The driver started the engine, and the car pulled away from the hotel.For the first few minutes, neither of them spoke.Elowen leaned her head against the window, the champagne still warm in her blood. The city lights passed in a blur outside. Beside her, Kieran sat stiffly, his jaw set and his expression dark."Don't let what happened tonight happen again."His voice was low and cold. Elowen turned her head slowly."What?""You were drunk. You were hanging on to my brother in the middle of a hotel hallway." His jaw tightened. "If anyone had walked by and seen that, do you understand how it would have looked?""I tripped. He caught me.""I don't care how it happened."

Kieran's phone lit up on the arm of the chair. He glanced at the screen. Something shifted in his face, and he turned the phone over before she could see the name. "I have to take care of something." He stood and buttoned his jacket.Elowen nodded. "Mm."He crossed the room. His hand paused on the door handle for a second, as if he might say more. He did not. The door closed behind him. Elowen sighed and lay back on the bed.She remained there for a while, staring at the ceiling. The events of the afternoon kept returning to her mind: Kieran's reaction at the restaurant, the way he had pulled her away from Lysander, and the argument that followed in the suite. He had barely paid attention to her for months, yet the moment he saw her with another man, he suddenly remembered that she was his wife. She turned onto her side and closed her eyes, but sleep did not come.Later that evening, her phone rang. It was the chairwoman's office. "Good evening, Miss Whitmore. I'm calling on behalf of

For a long moment, neither of them moved.The suite was very quiet. The air conditioner hummed somewhere above them, and the city lights, thin and far away, painted pale stripes across the carpet. Elowen stood with her back against the wall, her hands still lifted halfway to her face. She kept her eyes fixed on the floor because she could not bear to look at him.Kieran stood a step away. His hand had come up as though he meant to reach for her, but it remained suspended in the air. His lips parted. He searched for something to say and found nothing. He had been angry a moment ago, so certain of his right to be, but now the anger had drained out of him, leaving him with nothing to say.In the end, he lowered his hand.He turned and walked to the door. He paused with his fingers on the handle, and for a second, it seemed he might look back. He did not. The door opened and closed behind him with a soft click, and then there was only the sound of his footsteps fading down the corridor.E
