Chapter Eighteen: Hidden Doubts

Kinsley’s POV

Terron can hardly keep his hands off of me now.

The rogue fight happened a few nights ago, and while I’m sure Terron has had his fair share of fights against rogues without trouble, this one seems to be nagging at him more than the rest. He looks at me like a breakable ornament, to be hung on the wall but never touched.

The mind link makes that crystal clear. Every time I reach out, testing the waters of his rushing river of thoughts, he is picturing the moment rogues surrounded me. His thoughts replay feelings like the ones he had in that moment.

He felt like he should have rushed over, but he was locking in on Ace, needing to kill him once and for all.

He leans back against the wall, holding me on the floor while we embrace the fireplace next to us. He is so consumed in thought that he doesn’t feel his hand gripping my palm with a thick pressure.
