Chapter 142

Chapter 142

Stephanie liked Sebastian very much.

She didn’t know when her feelings for him had changed from mere sibling affection.

It was something that had built up over the years, so deeply ingrained that it had become a part of her.

Facing Sebastian’s slightly unfocused gaze, Stephanie’s heart trembled.

“Sebastian…”

Oh no. If he were sober, she could still-

But he wasn’t sober. And every time he got drunk, he never remembered anything the next day.

If things really went that way now, even if he was the one initiating it, she would still feel like she was taking advantage of

him.

“I’m not a saint, okay? You need to wake up. Stop.”

Stephanie whimpered.

But in the next moment, the man effortlessly pinned her hands above her head.

As her nightgown was pushed up, a chill ran through Stephanie’s body, freezing her blood in place.

She grabbed onto his strong wrist. “Sebastian!”

Yet the next second, he turned his hand, firmly locking hers in place, leaving her completely defenseless.

The room’s temperature rose, mirroring the searing heat radiating from Sebastian’s skin.

Desire thickened in the air. Stephanie’s breathing quickened.

“Stefi, be good,”

The man murmured in a husky, low voice.

The moment she heard that familiar nickname, her mind went blank.

He knew. He knew who he was kissing?

Stephanie’s dazed eyes locked onto Sebastian’s striking features–the only face she had ever found truly beautiful since childhood, incomparable to anyone else.

“Sebastian.”

And in that instant, all reason shattered.

Sebastian traced her cheek with his fingers, his touch lingering.

“Good girl.”

His drunken gaze gleaming like a man who had just found his most treasured possession.

Heat intertwined in the air, his tender yet burning gaze dissolving the last shred of Stephanie’s self–restraint.
