Chaos reigned at the table—laughter, arguments, the clatter of cups—but Killian’s world narrowed to the woman beside him. He claimed her with a practiced hand on her waist, pulling her close. When she flinched, whispering a plea for discretion, he didn’t retreat. Instead, he performed a mock search for his dignity, finding none.

He kissed her temple, murmuring that he knew she loved the attention, watching her flush deepen.
