He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 970

"None of your business!" she snapped.

Sebastian chuckled softly. "Should I go get the kids to handle this?"

"Sebastian!" she glared at him, absolutely furious.

He just kept smiling.

Infuriated, she lunged out to grab him.

Blinded by her temper, she completely forgot about her injured leg.

She let out a sharp cry of pain.

Sebastian moved instantly, catching her securely in his arms.

But the very next second, his demeanor completely shifted. "Helena, do you have a death wish?"

When his mood flipped, all traces of his gentle coaxing vanished.

His gaze turned terrifyingly dark.

She felt a flash of guilt, but it was quickly overshadowed by a surge of grievance.

Their eyes locked in a silent standoff.

The temperature in his gaze suddenly skyrocketed.

She wasn't some naive schoolgirl.

She knew exactly what that look meant.

She didn't say a word, leaving the space between rejection and invitation agonizingly blurry.

"Are you going to pull a stunt like that again?" he asked, his voice dropping to a dangerous rumble.

She stared back at him with absolute defiance. "Yes. Why wouldn't I?"

She heard his low, breathy chuckle.

Then, he crashed his lips onto hers once more.

Caught off guard, she stumbled right into his chest.

Instinctively, she gripped his arms to steady herself.

He let her hold on.

They devoured each other in a frantic kiss.

Their kiss grew heavier, and the towel wrapped around Sebastian's waist slipped loose.

Suddenly, the intimacy between them crossed a dangerous threshold.

The temperature in the master bedroom steadily climbed.

When she realized what was happening, a faint tremble wrecked through her.

It was impossible to tell if it was from resistance or raw arousal.

He noticed it too.

He abruptly pulled back. "I'm sorry."

He offered no other explanation.
