The weak amber glow from your bedside lamp stretches Kieran's shadow across the floor as he fills your doorway. His sharp jaw is locked tight, his hazel eyes wide and disbelieving, scanning the scene—you, alone with Liam on the edge of your bed.

He shoves Liam aside with a rough thrust, the sickening smack of fist against flesh reverberating in the small space. Then he's there, inches away, his breathing harsh, his eyes burning into yours. "Was it worth it?" The question hangs between you, thick and suffocating, demanding a reply.
