Zeph's POV
I kiss her again, feeling flushed and alive in a way I haven't felt in years. I could kiss her forever, could stay in this moment where nothing exists except her lips on mine and her body pressed against me. For a split second Liana's face flashes through my mind, but I quickly push it away. Liana is fine, she's okay, she's safe at the penthouse. But Kestrel, god, I could go mad if anything happens to her. The thought of losing her makes my chest tighten with panic.
"I'm sorry," I say against her lips, pulling back slightly so I can look into her eyes. "I don't know how to relay all of this to you. I don't know how to explain what's happening in my head."
"Do you still love her?" she asks, her green eyes searching mine for the truth.
I take a breath, choosing my words carefu
