Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 49

He was drugged that night, and the lights were switched off when he was trying to force himself on her, so she did not manage to catch a glimpse of his body.

Sasha gulped. His damp torso glistened in the light, accentuating and flattering his shapely muscles. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he spoke, but she did not hear a thing. She was too busy following the water droplets that trickled down his chin and onto his chest.

“Are you done?” Sebastian said sharply.

Sasha snapped out of her reverie. It suddenly dawned on her how long she had been salivating over him like a slab of meat. She wished the ground would just swallow her up just to spare her the embarrassment.

“You were… I just… I didn’t mean to… I thought you were done, and I wanted to speak to you.”

She spluttered on in an attempt to explain herself, not daring to look up. Her porcelain face had reddened like a tomato by then.

Oh, come on. You’re not that innocent.

You’re no stranger to flings and one-night stands. This isn’t the first naked body of a man you’ve seen.

As she stood there deliberating with herself, Sebastian slammed the door shut in her face.

Sometime later, he emerged fully dressed.

“Well? What was it that was so important?” he snapped.

Sebastian straightened up and addressed her with a haughty glare. It was as if he had donned his familiar snarky persona along with that suit. His disdain permeated the corridor and suffocated her, robbing her of her confidence.

Sasha took a deep breath and gulped. Bracing herself again, she blurted, “I would like to take care of Ian if that’s okay with you.”

“Take care? What right do you have to do that? You are an unfit mother. You can have another kid with that adulterer and care for him!”

The words were barely out of her mouth before she regretted uttering them. His remark stung, but her mind was whirring with something else.

Adulterer?

Instantly, her face became as white as a sheet.

Why did he say that all of a sudden? Was he stalking me?
