Kai found Ren trembling, on the verge of fainting, and panic gripped him. Was it the kiss? Had he had Shadow harm her somehow, unintentionally? He was so consumed by the kiss that he didn't realize it. His distress flared hot and wild, rousing the demon within him.
'It wasn't me,' Shadow snarled with his deep rough voice in his mind. 'She is ashamed. I can smell it, you jerk!'
Kai's eyes widened. Shame? His hold on Ren tightened instinctively as he rubbed soothing circles along her back. "Calm down, wife," he murmured, his voice thick with concern. "It's alright. This is normal for couples. That asshole—" He huffed in frustration. "Agara was being a damn ass."
"He saw us!" Ren's voice quivered with mortification.
Kai pulled back just enough to cup her arms, his touch grounding. Her face was aflame, scarlet with embarrassment.
"Should I go snap his neck?"
"No," She frowned, "You can't kill someone because he spot us kissing! I'm just ashamed."
