Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 83

Cecilia

“If you dare to dream it, you can have it.”

Was he mocking my simple wishes?

Did he think I was being childish for wanting someone like Liam in my life?

Liam smiled warmly nearby, obviously pleased by Alpha Sebastian’s words.

The genuine happiness on his face made me wonder if I had misinterpreted Alpha

Sebastian’s tone.

After breakfast, Liam drove us to the airport.

Our destination was Colorado Springs – a place I hadn’t visited often, though | remembered it for its beautiful scenery and crisp mountain air.

Alpha Sebastian and I took a commercial flight, sitting in first class naturally.

He spent most of the journey reviewing documents while I pretended to read a novel, trying not to be hyperaware of his presence beside me.

From the airport, we took a private car deep into the mountains.

The total investment exceeded $2.3 billion, with Silver Peak Pack owning sixty percent and Remy’s company controlling the remaining forty.

As we drove further from the city, the landscape opened up.

Fluffy white clouds floated against an endless blue sky.

The rhythmic motion of the car and the peaceful scenery lulled me into relaxation.

My eyelids grew heavy…

1 felt myself leaning toward the window as sleep overtook me.

Then a large, warm hand gently cradled my head, carefully repositioning it.

The scent of sandalwood enveloped me as my cheek met something firm yet comfortable.

I don’t know how long we drove like that.

When I finally stirred awake, we were deep in the mountains.

My bleary eyes took in the misty forests and distant peaks through the window.

It looked like something from another world – ethereal and dreamlike.

Beautiful, I thought, adjusting my position to get more comfortable.

That’s when I realized something wasn’t quite right about my “headrest.” What kind of luxury seat was this warm, fragrant, with just the right balance of firmness and give?

I slowly turned my stiff neck, only to see a crisp white shirt, and above it, a strong jawline and Adam’s apple.

My heart plummeted.

“Sleep well?” came a deep voice from above me, his breath warm against my hair.

“..Mmm,” I managed, trying to appear composed as I extracted myself from his embrace.

I smoothed my hair while babbling, “Oh my, I can’t believe I fell asleep! Must be because Harper made me watch that horror movie last night. I barely got any rest.”

I hoped my nervous chatter would somehow erase the mortifying fact that I’d been sleeping in my boss’s arms.

Alpha Sebastian nodded with understanding. “Ah, that explains it.

I wondered why you kept burrowing into my chest while you slept. Horror movie aftereffects, of course.”

My eyes widened to saucers.

The driver looked equally shocked in the rearview mirror.

The words “kept burrowing into my chest” played on repeat in my mind, each repetition more horrifying than the last.

I Kept. Burrowing. Into. His. CHEST?!

No. Impossible.

I shot a desperate glance at the driver, silently begging for contradiction.

Our eyes met in the mirror, and he gave a small, guilty nod of confirmation.

That tiny gesture felt like a sledgehammer to my dignity.

After a moment of frozen horror, I turned to face Alpha Sebastian with all the solemnity of someone walking to their execution.

“Alpha Sebastian,” I said gravely, “in the future, if this happens again, you should immediately push me away. Wake me up forcefully. Or just… I don’t know, slap me awake!” Yes, I’d made a mistake, but wasn’t he equally at fault?

He could have taken measures! Why had he allowed me to use him as a human pillow?

Alpha Sebastian’s expression turned benevolent. “I don’t make a habit of abusing my employees.”

I pressed my lips together, completely lost for words.

What was I supposed to say-“Please humiliate me, Alpha Sebastian, I’m totally into that”?

Yeah, no. That sounded way too much like a bad line from a BDSM fanfic.
