Cecilia’s pov
I noticed his eyes growing even more terrifying as we faced each other.
What was with his mood today? Was he this upset just because I mistook his dinner for a date?
Seriously?
His gaze was pure ice, promising a world of trouble.
I didn’t stick around to find out. I headed for the door, wanting to draw his fire away from the others.
He followed close behind, his slow, deliberate steps making feel like a condemned woman.
I heard Levan’s worried call and Harper’s dismissive reply, followed by the sound of a light smack.
Once in the hallway, I tried to turn, but his hand on my back guided firmly into an elevator. The doors slid shut. I tried to move away.
His arm locked around my waist, pulling back. "Relax," he murmured, his voice dangerously low. "You’re not going anywhere."
I glared at him, but he just stared ahead, his expression unreadable, his eyes holding a blizzard of unspoken fury.
When we reached our floor, he led out and toward his room.
The door opened, then closed behind us.
I tried to seize the mont when he released to unlock the door, quickly stepping forward to put distance between us.
I barely made it a few steps before his arm snaked around my waist again, this ti pulling roughly back against his chest.
The move was dominant, possessive. His arm tightened around , bending into his embrace. My waist was so slender his hand could encircle it completely, yet sohow soft and curved against his grip.
"I apologize! I apologize!" I cried, genuinely frightened by his unusual intensity.
I tried prying at his immovable arm while looking back at him. "It was wrong of to assu you were on a date with Miss Hazel without confirmation. My mistake."
Now please let go!
Alpha Sebastian lowered his dark gaze. "That issue is over."
"...If it’s over, why are you still angry?"
"What do you think?" His eyes narrowed dangerously, his arm tightening its hold.
My heart pounded frantically, making coherent thought impossible.
What was I supposed to think?
I felt sothing pressing against my lower back, and heat rushed to my face. "Can’t we sit down and talk about this?"
"Don’t change the subject."
"...I’m not changing anything! Who talks in this position?" I stomped my foot in embarrassed anger.
The mont those words left my mouth, Alpha Sebastian spun around to face him, trapping in the corner, our bodies pressed together.
This was even worse than before! Actually, the previous position wasn’t acceptable either!
I pushed against his chest, my voice taking on a flustered quality. "...Didn’t you promise you wouldn’t do this again? What are you doing? You—you’re not a man of your word!"
"Because I saw you heading down the wrong path, desperate enough to settle for a boy," his lips pressed near the corner of mine, his voice husky. "I have a responsibility to guide you back to the right direction."
What nonsense was he talking?
My heart raced as I tried to escape his intoxicating scent. "Stop talking like Tang with those fancy expressions! I don’t understand a word you’re saying!"
"Then I’ll show you another way."
Show what...?
I looked up at him.
Suddenly, everything went dark as his dry, warm palm covered my eyes.
In the next mont, scorching breath descended upon , stealing all my oxygen.
A fierce kiss like wildfire on an open plain surrounded completely, burning alive, twisting and entwining until we both beca a raging inferno.
I felt like I was being consud whole.
My emotions surged, my lips and teeth tingling until even my heart felt numb with pleasure. There was the knowledge that this shouldn’t be happening, that it was dangerous, that continuing would reduce to ashes... yet I found it impossible to resist the growing sweetness and unbearable ache.
I even realized that I was...
I seed to be...having a physical reaction.
My hand started reaching for his waist before I quickly pulled it back. "Mmph—"
I was startled by my own desire, suddenly struggling against him.
Alpha Sebastian released my lips, his breathing heavy. "Understand now?"
"...I understand."
How could I not?
He was taking advantage of the situation to feel up!
Alpha Sebastian continued,"Dating isn’t sothing you do with boys. Adults should date adults. If you want to date soone, you can date ."
Dating?
I began to understand. "You don’t actually think Levan is my boyfriend, do you?"
Sebastian: "It’s too late to deny it now."
"He’s Harper’s brother! She brought him along this ti!"
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
I pulled his hand away from my eyes, then gave him a judgntal look that said: you’re just making excuses to take advantage of , you pervert.
Even if I had a boyfriend, did that give him the right to get angry and kiss ?
What kind of logic was that?Was he so kind of bandit or thief?
Alpha Sebastian sensed the situation was becoming complicated.
Slowly, his expression showed a hint of regret.
With a serious face, he apologized, "I’m sorry for kissing you without understanding the situation. It was my fault. You have every right to be angry, so how about..."
He leaned down again. "For fairness, you can kiss back."
Apparently, he could discard his dignity at any mont!
I held back my irritation. "No thanks."
"That won’t do. Don’t feel pressured—I’m a generous man."
I remained silent for a few seconds. "Fine. Since you’re so sincere about making things even, I won’t hold back."
I ground my teeth together, eyeing his neck with a predator’s smile.
"It might hurt a little. Try to bear with it."
With that, I opened my mouth to bite his neck.
Alpha Sebastian covered my mouth and straightened up. "If it’s going to hurt, let’s put this on hold. There’s no rush."
I didn’t press the issue.
I pressed my kiss-swollen lips together. "So are we done here? Can I leave now?"
Sebastian’s gaze darkened again.
He neither confird nor denied that I could leave, just stared at deeply. "Playing dumb again?"
Exposed, my expression beca slightly uncomfortable.
The atmosphere grew quiet.
A brief ten seconds stretched into eternity.
Suddenly, I smiled brightly. "You just advised not to head down the wrong path, right? I’ve taken your advice to heart. Thank you for your good intentions, Alpha."
