Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 90

Cecilia

After a moment’s silence, Alpha Sebastian arched an eyebrow.

“Are you deliberately punishing me?”

“Heaven as my witness!” I clutched my chest dramatically:

“I’m trying to save you!Do you think hauling all this ice up here was easy? Your lack of appreciation is honestly heartbreaking!”

Alpha Sebastian lifted one muscular arm from the icy water and rested it on the edge of the tub. His pale skin had taken on an almost ethereal translucence from the cold.

“Then I should thank you for your exceptional care. Perhaps I should award you MOST DEVOTED SECRETARY OF THE YEAR?”

“TIl accept that award with pride,” I replied without missing a beat.

Alpha Sebastian stared at my face before breaking into a laugh-the kind that comes when someone has pushed you beyond frustration into reluctant amusement.

He’d been soaking for over an hour.

His handsome face had turned nearly translucent from the cold.

“I think that’s enough,” he said, making a move to stand up.

Absolutely not!”

1 rushed forward, bending to press my hands firmly against his shoulders, my expression deadly serious.

“This is precisely when the drug rebounds! If you get out now, the effects will return even stronger than before.”

Alpha Sebastian leaned back into the tub, his expression unreadable.

“Have you considered that this method might be completely useless?” His voice carried a barely detectable note of danger.

“How could it be useless? You said you’re feeling better, which proves the drug effects are gradually subsiding,” I reassured him, even giving his shoulder a gentle, encouraging pat. “Just hang in there a little longer. Trust me, this works.” I straightened up, the hint of a mischievous smile playing at my lips.

As I started to step back, my wrist was suddenly caught in an iron grip.

Before I could process what was happening, I was yanked forward with incredible force and plunged into the bathtub.

The dual shock of surprise and ice-cold water made me shriek. “Ahh! What are you doing?

It’s freezing!”

I thrashed around, trying desperately to climb out.

Underwater, a pair of strong hands locked around my waist. “Oh, so you do recognize it’s cold?” Alpha Sebastian’s voice was dangerously soft.

My teeth chattered as l pushed against the hands at my waist. “Why did you pull me in?

Let go! Let me out!”

Alpha Sebastian’s question came again: “Is it really cold?”

“Obviously!” I snapped. “It’s ice water-of course it’s cold!”

Alpha Sebastian tightened his grip on my waist, pulling me closer. “Then don’t you think I might be cold too?”

I stopped struggling, my eyes darting sideways before meeting his gaze again. “Our situations are different. You were drugged. You need the ice to cool down. I imagine… you probably don’t even feel the cold.”

“Of course, if you’re truly suffering, you could always get out,” I added quickly.

“I’m just trying to help you, Alpha Sebastian. You wouldn’t be unreasonable enough to take it out on me, would you?”

Alpha Sebastian gave a cold laugh but said nothing.

His eyes, like a misty mountain forest, watched me steadily.

I felt a chill run down my spine that had nothing to do with the icy water.

I was already cold, but now I felt frozen to my core.

Underwater, my leg began to cramp painfully, forcing me to change position from sitting sideways to straddling him-putting us face to face.

Alpha Sebastian tensed slightly.

I tried prying his hands off. “I need to get out!”

His grip on my waist tightened, almost painful, yet his palm radiated heat through the icy water into my skin.

His face moved closer. “I think you’re right. I should continue a bit longer. And you’ll keep me company.”.

My heart was pounding wildiy.

Something was definitely wrong with him again.

Whether it was the cold creating hallucinations or sheer panic, I suddenly felt like the air between us had fogged over.

Through the haze, I could see his black silk robe clinging to his muscular chest, water droplets gathering on the fabric, emanating something that could only be described as pure desire.

“Alpha S-S-Sebastian, you c-c-can get out now! R-r-really, you c-c-can get out!” I stammered, placing both hands against his chest.
