I pulled back quickly, my breath still warm from Varen's kiss, but all the heat that had gathered between us vanished the moment I saw Kiel leaning casually against the wall. His arms were folded over his chest, and that smug look on his face… gods, it made me want to throw something at him. But it wasn't just any kind of smugness. It was that ridiculous "I told you so" smirk, mixed with something too amused for its own good. He had clearly seen everything.
Normally, I would have been furious. Embarrassed, at the very least. But right now, for some ridiculous reason, I couldn't muster a drop of anger. Not when his eyes sparkled like that, not when he looked like he was holding back laughter. I sighed, brushing invisible dust off my sleeves as I stood.
"I'm going back to bed," I muttered, already turning on my heel.
