The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 553

She couldn't stop her mind from conjuring up the image of his lean, muscular body standing under the showerhead that night—the defined pectorals, his sexy abs, and that striking V-line...

Wait, what was she thinking about?

Riley quickly shook her head, banishing those inappropriate thoughts, and pulled out her phone to scroll through short videos, desperate to distract herself.

Watching the funny clips, her chaotic emotions soon settled down.

Suddenly, a muffled groan came from the bathroom.

Riley jumped to her feet in a panic and rushed to the door. "Sebastian, are you okay?"

No one answered.

Her nerves immediately pulled taut. "Sebastian, what happened?"

Two seconds later, Sebastian's deep, seemingly pained voice echoed from within. "I slipped."

A sharp ache pierced Riley's heart, and all her previous reservations vanished instantly. She yanked the door open and was about to rush inside, but the moment she saw what was in front of her, she froze.

The bathroom was filled with steam, the thin mist blurring the light around them.

Sebastian was leaning heavily against the vanity, appearing as if he had just struggled to stand up. His hair was soaking wet, the messy strands falling across his forehead. Stripped of his usual sharp, slicked-back style, he looked surprisingly boyish and soft.

He was completely shirtless, wearing nothing but a white towel wrapped around his waist.

Glistening droplets of water clung to his defined muscles, sliding down his collarbones, rolling over his firm chest, tracing his sexy abs and alluring V-line, before finally disappearing beneath the edge of the towel.

Sebastian took two steps toward the door, but his knees buckled, and his entire body pitched forward.
