Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Kieran watched as Lila pulled out her phone, already getting ready to message Noah.

Unhappy with that, he smoothly took the phone from her hand and pulled her onto

his lap.

"It's already late. Can you stop worrying about other people and focus on me for a bit, Mrs. Morgan?"

Lila met his gaze. His deep eyes held a familiar intensity. The moment she settled onto his lap, she could already feel the slight shift in his body.

The phrase "once you get a taste, you can't stop" fit Kieran perfectly.

He carried her back to the bedroom.

Since her shoulder was still injured, he didn't push her too hard, and did all the work himself. Even so, by the end of it, she was completely exhausted.

Kieran scooped her up and carried her to the bathroom, his eyes still dark as he looked at her curled up in his arms.

"You need to work on your stamina. I should start feeding you better," he said.

Lila shot him a deadpan look. It wasn't her stamina that was the problem, it was his that was ridiculous.
