The clock hits midnight. I'm sprawled on the sofa, half-watching Ben Cooper, when a furious bang echoes from the door. I wrench it open to the storm and find Kieran Vale there, soaked through. The rain has made his shirt transparent against the defined muscle of his chest and arms. His face is a wreck—a dark bruise purpling around one eye, his lip split and glistening with blood. Tears track through the grime on his cheeks. He stumbles inside, shoves the door closed, and then his body folds against mine, his face pressing desperately into the side of my neck. His hold is frantic, seeking an anchor in the very person he's spent years trying to destroy.
