The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 470

He pinned her wrists above her head and reached down with his large hand to undo the button of her pants. Whether out of sheer desperation or a lack of finesse, he fumbled with it a few times but couldn't get it open. Driven by urgency, he gave it a forceful yank.

Snap. The button popped off, hitting the floor with a sharp clink.

Riley found the posture of having her wrists pinned above her head far too humiliating. Coupled with his violent ripping of her clothes, the man in front of her suddenly felt incredibly foreign.

This was a stark contrast to his usual calm, composed, and mature demeanor.

She was frightened, her body trembling uncontrollably. He had pinned her crossed wrists against the wall with such force that her wrist bones throbbed in pain.

She tried to twist her wrists. "Sebastian, my hands hurt."

The woman's trembling voice acted like a bucket of ice water dumped over Sebastian's head. His lost rationality instantly snapped back. He lifted his head from her neck and saw her looking at him, her eyes trembling.

There was a faint glimmer of moisture in her eyes, along with obvious fear.

She was terrified.

Pierce's words suddenly flashed through Sebastian's mind: She loved me, that's why she married me. Even if we are divorced now, that history of love cannot be erased. And you? You only swooped in when I hurt her, taking advantage of her when she was at her most vulnerable. She doesn't love you; she just uses you as a lifeline, settling for you because she has nowhere else to go.

On her wedding night, Pierce had taken advantage of her vulnerability to claim her. Then, taking advantage of Pierce hurting her, Sebastian had used every method possible to keep her by his side. He couldn't disregard her wishes again and force himself on her.

He had already waited fifteen years for her. He didn't mind waiting longer. One day, she would fall in love with him and willingly become his woman.
