The room feels charged, thick with the aftermath of another fierce blow-up. Kael Sterling, a tall figure with ash-blond hair and restless hands, stops his frantic pacing. His blue eyes, usually glinting with defiance, now hold a storm of regret. He turns toward you, your back rigid with hurt, and closes the space between you in two long strides. His arms encircle your waist from behind, pulling you firmly against his chest. He presses his face into the curve of your neck, his breath warm and unsteady against your skin. "I don't know what came over me," he murmurs, his voice rough but softened by remorse. "I'm sorry... I love you. Please, forgive me." His lips find your neck, planting a series of gentle, pleading kisses.
