Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 48

Cecilia

The moment my hand accidentally brushed against Alpha Sebastian’s thigh, time froze.

And then-Three pairs of eyes in the elevator nearly popped out of their sockets.

“Excuse me?!”

Harper instinctively yanked me back like I’d just tried to jump off a cliff. Liam and Beta Sawyer both turned their heads so fast I thought they might get whiplash. Their eyes stared straight ahead, blank as statues. Oh. Great. They were doing the “See no evil, hear no evil” move.

1 wanted to die. Right then and there. I lowered my head, pressed one palm to my forehead, and started rubbing it like I could erase the last five seconds from existence.

My cheeks were on fire. No-my whole face was burning. I could probably fry an egg on it.

Ding.

13th floor. Salvation.

Thank God I didn’t live on the 23rd or 33rd floor. I wouldn’t have made it. I’d have spontaneously combusted before the elevator even got halfway.

“Excuse us,” Harper said quickly, dragging me out of the elevator like we were fleeing a crime scene. Her heels clicked against the floor so fast they sounded like machine guns.

The elevator doors slid shut, and I felt my soul leave my body.

I had just grabbed my boss’s thighs.

His. Actual. Thighs.

With my bare hands.

“Oh my god. Someone get me heart meds. Or a new identity,” I groaned, covering my face with both hands as Harper wheeled me into my apartment.

“Absolutely not,” she said, slamming the door behind us like this was a crime scene. “You don’t get to disappear. You’re telling me everything. Right now.”

I peeked through my fingers. She was practically bouncing with excitement.

“There is nothing to tell,” I said, voice muffled. “Unless you count me dying of embarrassment in front of my boss.”

Harper gasped. “You touched Alpha Sebastian’s thighs and you think there’s nothing to tell?”

“I didn’t mean to!” I cried. “It was the wheelchair. And Liam. And gravity. Probably.”

“Oh please,” Harper rolled her eyes, maneuvering my wheelchair into the living room. “1 saw the way he looked at you. And that blush in his face! ” I sank deeper into the couch. “Please. I need bleach. For my brain.”

“Absolutely not,” Harper plopped down on my couch, crossing her legs and leaning forward eagerly. “Now tell me everything. How did you even end up working for him?

Last I checked, you were navigating divorce papers, not job applications.”

With no escape route available, 1 reluctantly recounted my encounters with Alpha Sebastian-the car accident, the charity gala, and finally how he offered me the job at Silver Peak Pack headquarters.

“Wow,” Harper whispered when I finished. “It’s like the Moon Goddess herself is orchestrating all these ‘coincidences between you two. Maybe he’s your true mate!” I nearly choked.

“First of all, there’s no way he’d ever be into someone like me.

Second, I’m not looking for a mate right now.

And third, it’s strictly professional between us.

He needed a secretary, and I needed to get out of Xavier’s social circle.

Working as the head assistant for the CEO of Silver Peak Pack helps me rebuild my career. That’s all.”

Harper raised an eyebrow and smirked

“You’re seriously telling me you can resist that gorgeous Alpha Sebastian?”

I knew she was just trying to cheer me up-trying to stop me from giving up on love after what Xavier did-but I’d already made up my mind.

I gave her a dry look.

“Please. Alpha Sebastian doesn’t need to push anyone away. Most people can’t get close in the first place.”

I leaned back, arms crossed

“Beta Sawyer said the last woman who tried to throw herself at him almost got kicked out of his car. And that was someone he actually liked.”

I shrugged. –

“Im not about to humiliate myself like that. I know exactly where I stand-and I’m good with that.”

“If I ever dared to think about him that way or touch him on purpose, he’d probably drag me to the nearest river and drown me.”

My voice was so serious that Harper actually paused for a second.

“Don’t be so dramatic,” she said, recovering fast.

“You literally grabbed his thighs and you’re still alive! Maybe give yourself some credit-you’re not exactly invisible.”

My tone was detached, but noticeably less hostile than before when I’d wanted to kill her for what she’d done to Cecilia.

Cici seemed to notice this softening. She kept her arm extended. “Xavier, may I hug you?

Please?” Her voice trembled as she added, “I don’t mean anything by it. I’m just upset that from now on, I’ll only be like a sister to you.” Fresh tears spilled down her cheeks.

Most men in the world would fall for such a display, and despite myself, I felt my resolve weaken. After hesitating briefly, I approached her bedside.

The moment 1 came within reach, Cici launched herself at me like a water snake, wrapping her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist.

“Cici-” My voice came out rough, a warning.

She just clung tighter, her breath hot and uneven against my ear. “Don’t,” she murmured, hips skimming my jaw. “Just. don’t push me away. Your little sister missed her lollipop.” Her fingers dug into my shoulders, nails biting flesh as she rocked against me, her pussy already wet enough that I could feel it through my fucking pants.

“Fuck, Xavier,” she whispered. Her hips rolled again, grinding down with purpose, her thighs squeezing tight around me like she was afraid I’d bolt. Maybe I should have. But the way her cunt pressed against me, hot and eager, made it hard to think straight.

Her hand slipped between us, fingers fumbling with my zipper, and I didn’t stop her. The second she got my cock free, her fingers wrapped around me, stroking slow, teasing. “See how hard you are?” she murmured, lips dragging along my jaw. “You can lie to yourself, but your cock doesn’t.”

I should’ve shoved her off. Should’ve walked the fuck out before this went any further.

But the second her thumb swiped over the head of my dick, smearing precum, my resolve cracked.

Cici didn’t waste time. She yanked her panties aside, guiding me to her entrance, and then

-fuck-she sank down onto me in one smooth motion, her pussy clenching tight like she’d been waiting for this all night.

“God, yes,” she moaned, arching against me, her tits pressing into my chest as she started riding me, slow at first, then faster, her nails raking down my back. “Feels so good, doesn’t it? Fucking me like this?”

My hands gripped her hips, hard. My eyes squeezed shut. I didn’t answer.

[Just one more time.]

[lt doesn’t mean anything.)

[Cecilia won’t know.]

If I never say a word.

Then maybe it never really happened.
