"Are you hungry now?"he asked, softer this time.

I nodded, still curled up.My voice was stuck somewhere in my throat, but I was hungry.Just not for food.

He let out a breath, gentle and warm."Okay," he said, standing up slowly."I'll go grab something from the café downstairs.It won't take long.Just rest."

As he turned, I suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand."Not that kind of food," I said.

He paused, confused."What do you mean?"

Before he could finish that thought, I pulled him back down and slammed my lips onto his.a desperate hungry kiss.

Killian stiffened for a second, surprised.But his hand came up to cup my face, and for a moment, he kissed me back.

Then he pulled away gently.

"Liana," he breathed."Baby, you need to eat.Real food.Not...this."

I looked at him, my chest rising and falling."But I want this.I want you."

His eyes softened, but he shook his head."Let me just get you something.Give me a few minutes.I swear, I'll give you whatever you want after that."

As he stood up and started buttoning his shirt again, I reached out and grabbed his hand."Don't go."

"Liana—"

I pulled him back again and kissed him harder this time.I pinned his hands to the bed, leaning over him, my fingers tugging his shirt open again, button by button.

Killian blinked up at me, caught off guard."What are you doing?"

"Don't go.Just...Just fuck me," I said."Please, I want to forget everything."

He swallowed hard."And I really do want to give you that.I do.But you've barely eaten.Your body needs more than this right now."

I didn't want to listen.I kissed him again, slower this time, dragging my lips over his.

He groaned into the kiss but pulled back one more time, brushing my hair out of my face.

"Give me five minutes," he said."Five.I'll be back with food.Then I'm all yours."

I sighed, giving in."Fine.Five minutes."

He smiled, kissed my forehead, grabbed his card, and left the room.

I stared at the door for a while.My stomach twisted.I didn't want to be alone.Not now, when I was still hurting.

Five minutes passed.

Then ten.

He still wasn't back.

Something inside me started itching.Restless.I got up, adjusted my clothes, and slipped into the hallway.I took the elevator down to the lobby, hoping to see him near the café.

But he wasn't alone.

I saw him standing near the bar.

He was smiling.Laughing at something a woman said.She was beautiful.Tall.Blonde.Dressed like someone who didn't need to try hard to get attention.She had her hand on his chest.
