Kimi's expression shifted to surprise. The raw anger blazing across Kolton's features as he demanded an answer caught everyone off guard.
"Hey! That's two questions, man," one of the boys called out to Kolton.
Kolton's head snapped toward the speaker, his eyes like shards of ice. The boy shrank back, visibly shaking under that lethal stare.
Kimi's voice cut through the tension. "That's not your concern."
Collective gasps rippled through the group. Nobody could believe she had the nerve to speak to Kolton so defiantly.
Kolton's gaze burned into Kimi, his thoughts clouded by the conversation with his mother earlier that day. That exchange had driven him to ask the question in the first place.
But watching Kimi's eyes drift to Bennett after hearing his words made his blood surge with fury.
The answer was obvious. Bennett was the one she loved. The realization hit Kolton like a physical blow, and he couldn't stand it.
