Celeste’s POV

The scent hit me first. It was rich, dark, and suffocatingly masculine. A mix of cedarwood and something deeper, almost sinful. My eyelashes moved and I opened my eyes looking at the large unfamiliar room.

Only it wasn't mine.

Panic surged before my eyes even though they were open. The bed beneath me was too soft, the sheets too smooth, carrying the unmistakable scent of him. My breath caught as I forced my heavy limbs to move, fingers gripping the silky duvet to steady myself. My body felt weak, but my pulse was a deafening drum in my ears.

Where the hell was I? What happened to me?

The whole room was painted in ash and cream. I looked up at the large white ceiling.

Was I dead? Oh no.

I touched myself, pinching my cheeks to be sure I wasn’t dead.

“Ouch,” I groaned and rubbed my cheek.

I continued scanning the room and noticed the air humidifier and the air conditioner.

Where the heck was I?

I forced my legs over the side of the bed, my bare feet meeting the cold

    Killian’s POVI never thought a simple dinner would test my control as much as this one did.It wasn’t just the food, though the steak was perfectly seared, or the wine. Neither was it the setting, but her. I had sent the maid to get her and it had been thirty minutes and she wasn't down yet. The door to my study opened, and Celeste walked in.Her sky-blue knee-length dress fitted perfectly on her pale skin and clung to her curves. I held the fork, looking at her shocked as my heart began to beat faster. My mind began to wander to places it shouldn't have. The low heels only made her steps more graceful as she approached, her eyes trained straight ahead, avoiding mine for the most part. She had no idea just how much control she was testing at that moment.She was perfect; too perfect, for a moment like this.I had asked for her presence. It was my rule that she would follow, but I still wasn’t prepared for the way my blood roared when she entered. My eyes snapped to her like a mag

The memories of last night flashed back to my mind.His hands moving up my thighs and his bright blue eyes that were always cold.Why was I thinking of him?

Her expression was warm, unlike the rest of the people here.I followed Clara out of the office, my shoulders tense as we walked down the hall.She smiled gently. “You shouldn't let

    Celeste's POVI felt a wet clothes clump on my body. What was I thinking?"You glowed last night." I heard a low voice inside my head.I was in darkness and could not move my body."How is that even possible?" The deep voice continued. I knew this voice.I tried to shift, and my body ached. Something was wrong. I could still feel the wet cloth move on my shoulder once more.What's happening? Stop.I opened my eyes, blinking, and they settled on his."Killian," I whispered.My eyes slowly adapted to the light as I winced. "Why are you here?" I asked."You fainted last night." He spoke softly. He was sitting at the foot of my bed, his arms around my head.His eyes, not leaving mine. My throat felt dry, and I swallowed to make it wet."W…what?" I stuttered. "What are you?" he whispered."Huh?" I breathed softly, looking around and back at him. "Your birthmark," he said, shifting his eyes to my shoulder.I drew my arm across my chest. My cheeks turned a bright red. "Flipping heck." "

    Celeste's POVI kept staring at my hand, expecting a miracle, but nothing happened. It was all my imagination.I was perfectly fine. At least, I said to myself a hundred times.When I was sure I had convinced myself, I laid back in bed and inhaled.There was something odd about the smell. It smelt a bit woody, just like Killian.I inhaled again, and this time, the scent grew stronger.“What the heck?” I muttered, sitting up on the bed.I traced the smell to the sheets. It grew stronger and I brought my nose down.I had never been able to pick the scent before. Not as strong as this.I looked around, and my eyes locked on the full-length mirror across the room.My hands reached for the shirt, moving the collar down and stared at the birthmark. I waited, expecting something, but nothing happened.I sighed and looked away. It was pointless. Why did I ever think something would happen?Standing up, I moved towards the door and my bone ached. I had moved too fast and I fell to the floor.“

The new girl,” he continued. “Oh, that. When has anyone ever gained my trust that easily?” I replied. “You can never change. You keep answering every question with another question,” Logan complained. “Hmm,” I replied and relaxed on my chair. “Answer my question,” Logan pressed. I looked up, looking into his green eyes. “Not yet.”“Yet?” Logan asked. “Oh, I see. You're going to test her.”“Don't I ever?” I replied and he smiled. “At least let me test her,” Logan said, looking very enthusiastic.I smirked and answered. “Be my guest.”I watched him get his ass swapped the next day. Celeste was stubborn. I knew that the seconds she challenged Logan. But as I watched her now, something shifted inside me. Just a little.She had her arms crossed while watching the men train.
