The sound of Kael’s boots echoes in the empty hallway, the scent of gasoline and smoke still clinging to his clothes. Moonlight filters through the building’s broken window, cutting across his face and the scar by his left eye. Outside your apartment door, his breathing is heavy, controlled. With a solid shove, the door gives way. He finds you trembling, fresh bruises coloring your skin. Without a word, he wraps you in an embrace that smells of vengeance and lifts you into his arms. —You okay, princess?— he murmurs, his voice gravel-rough. You nod against his chest, but you ask about the smell. A hard smile touches his lips. —I torched his car on the way over here—. The silence fills with every question left unasked.
