The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 220

All the strength drained from the hand holding the glass, and it dropped onto the cushions, the remaining liquid quickly soaking into the fabric.

Sebastian's eyes instantly darkened into a smoldering, predatory gaze. The torrential surge of desire within him screamed at him to stop holding back, to finally take what he wanted.

Yet, his ironclad self-control fired back a warning: move too fast, and he would ruin everything he had built so far.

It felt as though two opposing forces were ripping him apart from the inside.

Ultimately, restraint won the battle.

His large hands firmly grasped her slender waist. With a swift, fluid motion, he rolled and settled her securely onto the sofa. "Careful with your injury."

It wasn't until she was sitting upright that Riley snapped out of the shock of their intimate collision. She babbled incoherently, "I'm sorry... I... I didn't..."

"It was an accident. Don't worry about it," Sebastian said, his deep voice carrying a rough, raspy edge.

He stood up. "I have things to take care of. I need to go." With that, he turned and headed straight for the door.

Riley watched his broad back disappear from the room. She heard the front door open and click shut, yet she remained utterly frozen in place.

Her fingers slowly drifted up to touch her lips.

Had she really just kissed Sebastian?

Oh my god, she had kissed Sebastian St. John!

This was insane. Completely insane!

Riley squeezed her eyes shut and clenched her fists, her heart racing in absolute panic.

It took her a long while to open her eyes and try to rationalize the chaos.

She hadn't done it on purpose. She had already been lifting herself up when he grabbed her and pulled her back down. That was why it happened.

It wasn't just her fault. He shared the blame.
