Chapter 14: Dining Tension

Kieran's POV

I took the stairs one at a time as my feet slowly went in front of the other. Usually, it was standard practice for me to always race down the stairs, but for some strange reason today, I just wasn't feeling it.

I ran my fingers along the banisters as my thoughts went into a million directions all at once. No matter how hard I ttied to focus, I just couldn't do it. Why? Because a particular thought kept on haunting my consciousness.

Xander.

If I was being honest, up until this moment, everything still felt like a dream. A beautiful dream I wasn't sure I wanted to wake up from. I subconsciously brought my fingers to my lips and a shudder rushed through my veins immediately.

That was how Xander had touched me last night.

Shit.
