The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 540

Riley bit her lip, swallowing her shyness, and gathered her courage. "Didn't you say earlier that you wanted us to..."

Sebastian looked at her hesitant expression with confusion. "Wanted us to what?"

Riley didn't dare meet his gaze. She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Take a shower."

Sebastian's gaze turned instantly predatory at her words. "Do you know what you're saying?"

Riley's fingers curled slightly, her face burning crimson. "If you don't want to, forget it." She stood up, standing rigidly before him with her head bowed, still avoiding his eyes. "Get back to work. Don't forget to eat your fruit."

She turned to leave, but Sebastian suddenly scooped her up into his arms. She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

The man stared at her with burning intensity. "Are you sure?"

Riley buried her flushed face into his broad chest. "I'm sure."

Sebastian carried Riley and strode out of the study. He walked into his bedroom, kicking the door shut behind him with a loud click, and took her straight into the en-suite bathroom. He gently set her down on the vanity. "Shower or tub?"

It was Riley's first time being so bold, and her face felt like it was on fire. "Whatever you want."

Tonight, she just wanted to make him happy.

"I want both."

Riley's eyelashes fluttered. "Then... let's try both."

Sebastian stared intently at the unusually proactive Riley.

Seeing him just looking at her without making a move, Riley felt a beat of anxiety. "What's wrong?"

Sebastian let out a soft sigh. "You don't have to do this."

Riley looked confused. "Huh?"

"Every decision I make is of my own free will. You don't need to carry any psychological burden."

Riley roughly guessed what he meant. "Do you think I'm being so forward because I feel guilty about you losing your position as CEO, so I'm trying to compensate you with my body?"
