The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 612

A surge of wild joy instantly ignited in Sebastian's dark, smoldering eyes. His voice was a low, magnetic rasp. "Yes."

Riley led him inside by the hand.

It was past ten o'clock. Alora and Mrs. Gable had long since gone to bed, leaving only a few dim recessed lights glowing in the living room.

Riley raised a finger to her lips in a shushing motion. "Keep it down," she whispered.

Sebastian stared at her pale finger resting against the lips he had just kissed swollen. His burning gaze darkened even further. His Adam's apple bobbed as a sensual hum rumbled from his chest. "Mm."

They moved silently across the living room and slipped into her bedroom.

The moment the door clicked shut, Sebastian pressed Riley gently against the wood, his mouth descending on hers in a scorching kiss.

Riley tilted her head back, melting into his touch.

The temperature in the room skyrocketed. Outside, the rainy night was biting cold; inside, their passion burned like a furnace.

Their time apart had only sharpened their craving for each other. Whether it was the emotional hunger to be close or the raw, primal gravity pulling their bodies together, they were like dry kindling hitting an open flame. The pent-up longing could no longer be contained.

Clothes fell away.

Riley couldn't remember how they made it from the door to the bed. All she remembered was the burning heat of his breath and his low, gravelly voice begging her to call him Sebastian.

When the passion peaked, he held her tight, murmuring against her ear over and over, "Evie... Evie..."

It was a brand-new name, one only Daphne and Victor had used before. Hearing it whispered from Sebastian's lips felt as though he was weaving her missing years directly into this moment of intimacy. A helpless thrill of joy shuddered through her.

Rain pattered softly against the windowpane as the breathless entanglement inside gradually slowed. As everything settled into peace, the blistering heat slowly ebbed away.
