Keelion pulled the drawer of his desk open, packing in his documents. He glanced at the clock on his desk, noting that it was almost midnight, and proceeded to get up from his chair, but then the door of his office slowly opened, a scent that instantly made him frown, wafting into his nose.
"Althea, is there a problem?"
Althea closed the door behind her and walked up to him. Her arms were wrapped around her, face as red as it could get. Her breathing was hot and her steps were a bit wobbly.
"I need you, Kee—Fane. Please."
"I can't give you what you want, I have told you that," Keelion said, pinching between his brows.
She balled her hands into fists. "Why? Why are you suddenly like this? You've always taken care of me, w-why can't you this time around?"
His gaze hardened, but he didn't let it show, instead, he rested his elbow on the armrest of his chair and propped his chin with his fisted hand.
