“Don’t,” Kane says, but it’s pained half-hearted. “Fuck. Don’t say my name like that, little wolf.”
His warning is weak, lacking a bite. Especially as his hand leaves my waist and instead grabs onto the tie of my robe around my waist. He fiddles with the end, as if contemplating whether or not he should pull it.
And right now, everything in me wants him to pull it.
“Kane,” I whine again and he looks up at me. His lips are an inch away, so close to meeting mine. We seem to share a breath, as if waiting to see who will cross the line.
I slide my hand from the side of Kane’s face, moving it to the back of his neck where I can gently pull the ends of his black hair. Instantly, Kane moans, his hand pulling my waist toward him.
However, Kane’s moan is replaced by a noise of frustration, and suddenly I’m swept off my feet.
Kane scoops me into his arms and I pant as I anticipate him throwing me onto the bed. Only, he surprises me as he heads to the bathroom instead, going right to the shower.
“Kane,” I begin as he sets me down in the tub. “What are you – ”
Before I can finish my question, Kane swiftly turns on the faucet, sending a wave of water down on me.
Frigid, ice-cold water.
I yelp as the water hits my skin, making me jerk and convulse as I try to get away from it. However, there’s no denying how quickly it puts out the fire on my skin, in my veins. I realize what Kane is doing.
He figured the cold water would help with my need and clear my mind. And as fucking freezing as his method might be, it does work.
After nearly a minute, Kane finally turns off the water and I blink up at him, my teeth chattering together.
“Better?” he asks, trying to calm his own breathing.
I nod. “Better.”
From there, Kane leaves the bathroom, giving me some privacy so I can dry off and change into clean clothes. When I’m done, I let myself back into my bedroom, finding Kane standing by the edge of the bed, his hands in his pockets.
I’clear my throat, though I don’t know what to say. It seems like Kane doesn’t either as he offers nothing in return. We both just stand there, both of us aware that only ten minutes prior we were about to cross a line.
Thankfully, though, I’m now in a better headspace, I’m beyond thankful that nothing did happen.

Still, I’m not sure what to say or how to act. But it seems Kane decides that the best thing to do is act like it all didn’t happen as he simply nods to me.
“Get some sleep,” he states.
And he leaves.
