Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Morning Temptations

Cecilia’s pov

His arms circled my waist from behind, his skin still damp from the shower.

The heat of him pressed into my back, and I could feel every inch of muscle beneath that barely-there towel.

The scent of his body wash made me dizzy.

His lips brushed the curve of my ear, unhurried, like he had all the time in the world.

A tingling sensation spread from my ear down through my entire body, all the way to my curling toes.

Seriously? With sunlight pouring through the windows like we were in some kind of adult perfume ad?

"You... you can dress yourself," I insisted, trying to pry his large hands from my waist. Not that I was really trying. Not hard enough.

I needed to leave this room immediately. This was testing my willpower in ways I wasn’t prepared for.

Sebastian’s gaze dropped to my reddening earlobes.

He smirked. That infuriating, melt-your-resolve kind of smirk.

He had no intention of letting me escape.

His breath skimmed across my skin as he whispered, his voice dropping to that dark, dangerous tone that suggested all kinds of trouble.

"I want to see you button my shirt. Slowly."

Before I could respond, he took my earlobe between his lips.

My brain short-circuited. My knees nearly gave out.

I made a sound I immediately regretted. Definitely somewhere between a whimper and a moan.

Fantastic. I’d officially become the girl who comes to wake a man and ends up pinned against a door.

The door was cool against my back now, his hips keeping me firmly in place.

I could feel the thick ridge of his cock pressing against me through the thin towel. My breath hitched. "Sebastian..."

"Shh," he murmured against my ear, his teeth grazing the sensitive skin just below it. "Just the buttons. For now."

I struggled against him.

"Not now," I gasped. "Liam has breakfast ready, and if we take too long, people will start talking."

"Let them," Sebastian replied, completely unfazed.

"They already are."

Apparently breakfast wasn’t as appetizing as I was.

After lingering at my ear, he finally claimed my mouth.

It wasn’t a kiss meant to distract. It was a kiss meant to ruin.

My brain screamed: My lipstick!

I was internally panicking, but honestly, who could firmly reject a freshly-showered, half-naked man with perfect abs and chest muscles determined to kiss you?

His tongue swept into my mouth, deep and possessive.

One of his hands slid from my waist down over my hip, his fingers curling to grip the flesh of my thigh through my dress, hiking it up just an inch.

The air hit my skin, a sharp contrast to the heat of his palm.

He rocked his hips forward, a slow, deliberate grind that made my head fall back against the door with a soft thud.

This wasn’t just temptation. This was a full-blown ambush.

Still, this couldn’t continue. Not unless I wanted to end up tangled in sheets instead of solving morning problems.

"You worked hard earlier. Eat up," Sebastian said, noticing my hesitation.

He scooped up a spoonful of yogurt and brought it to my lips.

I mentally screamed: Worked hard at WHAT, exactly? Sebastian, please... stop talking.

Liam, who had originally brought the yogurt without any other thoughts, now flushed a deep red.

Sawyer and Tang clearly couldn’t handle the awkward tension, so they grabbed Muffin and slipped out without a word.

I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me.

--

At the office that morning, thanks to Sebastian’s incredibly misleading "you worked hard" comment, Sawyer insisted on taking over all my usual work. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

He didn’t explain why.

Everything was somehow understood... without a single word being said.

I lasted about an hour before escaping to the secretarial department, desperate to avoid another round of silent judgment and misinterpreted glances.

After finishing the paperwork I had on hand, I poured myself a glass of water and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Skyscrapers stretched out around me, a glittering reminder of all the things I still had to deal with.

All I could think about was what Tang said. Someone might be tracking me.

The moment that thought resurfaced, any trace of calm evaporated.

I’d spent the entire night tossing and turning over it, and by now, I’d made up my mind.

Tonight, I was going to tell Sebastian everything.
