Chapter 246

• - KILLIAN -
• One of the things I detest the most in this world is having to keep my desire for someone a secret. Having to let myself secretly hunger for the attention of someone I want the most when all that I am burns for her. When she knows that I am clearly and absolutely hers.
• Yet for her sake, I’m keeping it subtle. They call it baby steps. My jaw clenches as I watch my brother communicate with her before me. Liam purposely messed with our car engines just so there was an excuse for us to be here. He was doing it for me, he said. But the moment we got into this van, which is obviously not and never will be my first choice, he made Hazel accompany him in front, four seats before mine while I remain behind.
