His heart thundered a fast, painful staccato against his ribs; but he kept it locked and silent beneath taunt skin and a flat (but hot) stare. Only Keusi’s anxious whine from behind him gave away the turmoil the boiled beneath the gilded statue he’d become in the face of Kiada.

Eyes darken, though their heat does not lessen, as they flicker away from her face and towards the limbs and (now voluptuous) sinew that carried her closer to him. She closed the distance. As if he truly meant something to him, rather than him being some stepping stone in her power-hungry crawl to the top.

Jaw muscles stand out as his teeth clench in response to her words. Her voice—it was ebony silk floating and falling over a stiff golden statue. He blinked at her a few times, willing himself to remain unflinching and firm…but it was no use. With each step closer, each inch of distance erased, each syllable of her voice, his body softened. His jaw relaxed. His head lowered from its towering, angry height.

“I miss you.”

He did flinch, then, at the words. Words she had said too many times to him. “I miss us, mlongo.” Was his first, solitary reply. His voice was deep, and in contrast to the flatness he had used before, a new poignant pain sliced through it.

A long, heavy pause followed her aloud wish. His dark blue eyes studied her equally blue, tear-filled gaze that stared out from a face that mirrored his own. “How did we let anything come between us?” He blinked then, looking away as he could no longer stand the sight of her tearful eyes.

His lips pressed together tightly, a long breath pushing out of his nostrils as he warred internally. His heart and mind begged to return to his other half; to hold her and hug her and run his muzzle along her ivory spots. But the pain from the wounds cut by her words held him back.
