KAEL
The moment her body eased against mine, the unease came crawling back, that sharp, instinctive sense that everything around me was starting to tilt. But then she turned her face up, her mouth set in that stubborn little line she wore whenever she was trying to be angry, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling.
"Don't look at me like that," she said.
"Like what?"
"Like you think you can just charm your way out of this."
I leaned closer. "Can't I?"
She scoffed and tried to push me off, but I caught her wrists before she could move too far. "Kael," she warned.
"Hmm?"
"Go. Back. To. Your. Office."
I dipped my head lower, close enough to brush my lips over hers but not quite kiss her.
"No."
"Kael—"
Something inside me snapped.
I pushed her against her desk, my hands framing her face as I devoured her mouth with raw, desperate need.
