My brows pulled in. "What?"
His took a step back, unwrapping his finger around my throat.
"That little game you were playing." His voice was all gravel and restraint. "Did it feel good? Getting under my skin? Are you satisfied now? mhm?"
I tilted my head. Innocent. Dangerous.
"Talking to another man?" I said, lips curving slowly. "Is that what you mean?"
His jaw flexed.
I took a step closer this time.
"And what about you, Kael?" I whispered, eyes glittering. "You looked good tonight… you and Ashlyn both."
The heat in his stare changed, something feral flickering beneath it. But I wasn't done. It seemed the alcohol finally kicked in or I was just being petty but regardless, I was already soaked in chaos, high off the power of him unraveling.
"People can't wait for you two to announce your wedding date. They say you're perfect together. I mean..." I shrugged, "... it'll be a lovely ceremony. I'll send flowers."
Kael didn't say anything. He just stared. Dead silent.
