Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Chapter 155 The Secretary’s Dilemma

Cecilia’s pov

I was carrying the soup bowl from the kitchen when I saw Alpha Sebastian disappear into my bedroom.

My heart stopped dead in my chest.

"Sebastian! Get out of there!" I shouted, hastily setting the soup down on the carpet.

My hands shook so badly that I spilled hot liquid that burned my skin.

I didn’t even feel the pain as I sprinted toward the bedroom.

Too late.

By the time I reached the doorway, Alpha Sebastian was already crouched beside my bed, picking up the kitten who had accidentally stepped on the power button of my new "personal massager." The poor creature was pressed against the wall, mewing frantically at the buzzing sound.

And there it was - my bright pink-blue vibrator, shaped like a discreet little bird, humming away on the floor beside the half-emptied shopping bag, its packaging clearly visible.

I felt my soul leave my body. My vision blurred as blood rushed to my face.

Alpha Sebastian’s brows furrowed as he stared at the vibrating device, then at the box with its very descriptive cover image, then back at the device.

"Cecilia, what is this?" His cool voice sliced through my mortification.

My mind went completely blank.

I opened my eyes, not even realizing I’d closed them.

Alpha Sebastian gestured with his chin toward the pale blue bird still buzzing on the floor.

"Um, that’s - " I stammered, pressing my lips together before trying again, "It’s a portable muscle relaxer - for sore muscles. You know, shoulders, arms, back... calves."

"Ah, sounds convenient," he replied evenly.

"Yes, yes, very convenient. Because it’s small," I babbled.

"Small but powerful, by the looks of it. Rather well-made." He bent down to pick it up.

My eyes widened in horror.

I lunged forward, dropping to my knees to grab it first.

In my haste, I slid across the floor, managing to snatch it just as his fingertips brushed against it.

There we were - him bending down, me on my knees, with a frightened kitten and a vibrating "massage device" between us.

I looked up.

Our eyes met.

His gaze slowly darkened, taking on the intimate quality of night shadows.

After what felt like an eternity, the corner of his mouth curved into a smile, and he murmured, "Don’t panic, little mate."

Heat swept across my face, blazing from my cheeks to my ears and down my neck.

My heart pounded more violently than the vibrator in my hand.

I quickly lowered my head, fumbling with the power button while shoving the box and instructions back into the bag.

Thank the Moon Goddess the kitten had only managed to drag out one item!

Alpha Sebastian straightened up.

His eyes remained dark and intense as he watched me. "Take your time. No need to be nervous. If you say it’s a massage device, I believe you."

I hesitated, not having the mental bandwidth to analyze his tone.

Quickly stuffing the bag under the bed, I stood up. "I’ll take the kitten. You should go eat."

I reached out to take the small creature from his arms.

Alpha Sebastian walked out.

He picked up the soup I’d abandoned on the carpet and sat down at the dining table, eating with infuriating composure.

I sat in the living room, staring at his back, replaying his words in my mind.

*If you say it’s a massage device, I believe you.*

Wait a minute. The implication being that he knew exactly what it was but was willing to pretend otherwise.

He knew. The Alpha knew I had a vibrator.

I covered my face with my hands, mortified.

"Cecilia, I’m finished eating," his voice came from the dining area.

Steeling myself, I got up and approached him. "Alpha, I’ll take care of the kitten tonight. You should go home and rest. Sleep well. Goodnight."

Alpha Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Why not wish me good morning while you’re at it?"

I felt like that damn kitten - small, twitchy, and way too curious for my own good.

And Alpha Sebastian? He was basically a perfectly grilled filet of salmon - hot, seasoned just right, and absolutely not on my diet.

But my hesitation wasn’t about fear. Or even a lack of desire. God, no - it was more complicated than that.

This wasn’t a spontaneous hookup in the dark. I’d already thought it through. Overthought it, probably. If I slept with him and kept it strictly physical, I’d be using him. Treating him like a walking stress-relief device with abs.

And if I caught feelings? That was a whole other disaster.

I didn’t want to hand over my heart - not again. Been there, got emotionally wrecked, still cleaning up the debris.

Love, in my experience, came with fine print and hidden explosives. The second someone knew they had your heart, it stopped being yours. It became leverage.

And if things ever went south with Alpha Sebastian - if we ended up on opposite sides of something bigger - I wouldn’t just lose. I’d get annihilated.

"This is a bad idea," I muttered under my breath. "Like, Like playing with fire bad."

A voice behind me nearly made me jump out of my skin. "What exactly are you planning to play with?"

My spine stiffened instantly.

I tried to stand up, but my legs had gone numb from crouching too long.

A tall shadow loomed over me, carrying the fresh scent of a recent shower.

The next moment, I felt myself being lifted from the floor, cradled in strong arms.

"I - " I tried to speak but was struck silent by the sight of his chest muscles visible beneath his black silk robe.

He’d showered? He was dressed like *that*?

All I’d done was feed a kitten! I hadn’t even finished my internal debate!

My breathing quickened.

I couldn’t control the sudden dryness in my mouth.

Alpha Sebastian carried me out, closing the door behind us.

He carried me toward the guest room.

"Wait..." I began, but my voice faded as my body betrayed me with anticipation.
