The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 460

Riley's face reddened instantly. "Turn your back and lift your shirt."

"I'm fine."

"Let me see."

Seeing Riley insist, Sebastian had no choice but to take off his coat, turn his back to her, and lift his black cashmere sweater and undershirt.

Under the car's interior lights, the man's back displayed smooth lines. From top to bottom, there wasn't an ounce of excess fat. His skin was a cool, luminous shade, with gently rippling muscles. It wasn't the bulky physique deliberately built in a gym, but a firm, tight build settled over years of self-discipline.

Riley immediately noticed a few red marks around his spine, likely bruised by the hooks on the coat rack pressing into his back. Up close, they even showed a faint bluish tint. By tomorrow, it would probably turn into a massive bruise.

She reached out and gently touched one.

The woman's soft fingertips brushed against his skin like a jolt of electricity. A tingling sensation instantly spread from his back through his entire body.

Sebastian's body violently tensed, his voice low and slightly hoarse. "Don't touch."

Riley's brow furrowed with heartache. "Does it hurt a lot?"

Sebastian dropped his shirt and turned to look at Riley. "It doesn't hurt."

If it didn't hurt, why would his body tense up so much when she touched him?

Riley then noticed Sebastian's bandaged hand, remembering he had claimed it was a minor injury on the phone last night. Could a minor injury be bandaged like this?

He was always like this, shouldering everything on his own.

Tears fell without warning. "Liar."

Seeing Riley suddenly cry, a trace of helplessness flashed through Sebastian's usually calm eyes. He reached out to wipe her tears. "I didn't lie to you. It really doesn't hurt."

"If it doesn't hurt, why did your body tense up when I touched you?"

A hint of resignation crossed Sebastian's eyes. He leaned in close to Riley's ear, whispering in a deep, seductive breath, "I'm just sensitive."
