KIERAN'S POV
I watched Sera storm away, feeling the ground shift beneath me.
I knew she meant it, and I knew I’d messed up. Of all the days to oversleep, why did it have to be Daniel’s parent-teacher conference? I’d promised him I’d be there.
But I hadn’t lied to Sera. I truly hadn’t been sleeping for a long time.
The moment I closed my eyes, I was right back in Sera’s hallway, reliving that damn kiss. The feel of her skin under my palms, the taste of her, the desperate need to consume her… It made no sense.
Why now, after the divorce, was I suddenly consumed with this maddening hunger for my ex-wife?
A week of sleepless nights had left me wrecked, and I’d taken the sedative tea to avoid crashing during the conference. I hadn’t expected it to knock me out cold.
I’d woken to Sera’s furious face. And she’d mentioned… sending Celeste? What the hell was that about?
Before I could process it, my phone lit up with Celeste’s name.
