The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 485

Being trusted so unconditionally warmed Riley's heart, making her want to share everything with him. If he didn't trust her, there would be no point in explaining further.

She nestled back into his arms. "When we were dating, he asked me to move in with him. But I was entirely focused on my studies and turned him down. The day after we got married, there was an emergency at a branch office, and he had to fly out. By the time he got back, I was already pregnant..."

She paused, silently sighing to herself. Hitting the jackpot on the very first try—her luck was truly something else.

"The doctor said my health was fragile and I needed to rest. They advised against any intimacy. By then, he had already started seeing Seraphina, and he never touched me again."

Sebastian pressed another kiss to the crown of her head. "Thank you."

Riley looked up, confused. "For what?"

Thank you for never touching her.

Thank you for returning her to me flawlessly intact.

He wouldn't have loved her any less for her past with Pierce, but knowing she was entirely his filled him with profound elation.

He kissed her lips again. "Nothing. It's late, get some rest."

Since he kept kissing her, Riley playfully kissed him back.

Sebastian's gaze instantly darkened, his voice dropping to a gravelly register. "You're not in any condition right now. Don't tempt me."

Riley's face burned. "Who's tempting you? You're allowed to kiss me a hundred times, but I can't kiss you back once?"

"No. Because I have zero resistance when it comes to you." As he spoke, the hand resting on her waist pressed down slightly, pulling her flush against his chest so their bodies were tightly aligned.

She felt the immediate, hard change in his body. Her face flamed red down to her neck as she tried to pull back, burying her face against his chest. "You... you're shameless."
