The moment Kael scooped me up and walked out the door to the hallway, heat rushed to my face.
It wasn't just the shock of it, it was the way people turned to stare, It turned out half the base who were sent on a mission had returned, and most of them were just returning to their room which means I was being watched by them as he walked past them, I could feel their heated gaze at my back. Although none of them dared enough to speak out, but, that didn't make me feel less embarrassed as I buried my face in Kael's chest, tired of fighting with him.
His heartbeat was steady beneath my cheek, his scent a mix of sweat, leather, and something faintly metallic. But I didn't think too much about it as I was more concerned about not wanting to see their faces. And not wanting them to see mine.
