Milano’s hands trembled as he gently helped Kiara to her feet. The lingering scent of their intimacy was now tinged with a raw, almost desperate apology from him. He’d hurt her, deeply, and the realization was a cold, hard knot in his gut. "Kiara, I… I’m so sorry. Truly. I should have stopped. I should have been more careful." He led her towards the adjoining bathroom, his voice a low murmur of regret. "Let me help you. A bath will help."

He ran the water, the steam beginning to fill the small space, softening the sharp edges of the room and, he hoped, the pain etched on Kiara’s face. As she stepped tentatively into the warm water, he knelt beside the tub, his gaze fixed on her. He soaped a soft cloth, his touch feather-light as he began to wash her skin, his apology woven into every gentle stroke. He dressed her afterwards in soft, clean clothes, his movements slow and deliberate, as if to atone for his haste. “I won’t… I won’t let that happen again,” he vowed, his voice thick with emotion. “I promise, Kiara. I’ll never hurt you like that again.”

But Kiara’s breath hitched, a sharp intake of air that cut through Milano’s mea culpa. Her eyes, usually so full of a gentle, hesitant light, now blazed with an unexpected fire. “You can’t just shut yourself down because I was bleeding, Milano,” she said, her voice gaining strength with each word. “That doesn’t change anything. Not really.” She met his stunned gaze, her own unwavering. “You’re good in bed, and you know it. And it’s my fault, you know it is.” A ghost of a smile touched her lips, a defiant curve that took his breath away. “You can’t pretend this wasn’t what we both wanted.”
