Revenge After Prison Never Forgiven (Abigail) novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278

Sebastian couldn’t stand in any longer. He pulled her into his arms and rolled her beneath him.

Abigail’s eyes flew open, wide with surprise

She stared up at Sebastian, his breath growing heavier. “You told me to touch them,” she reminded him, breathless

“I said over my clothes… His voice was hoarse as he lowered himself toward her, his lips brushing her ear. “What if you head to the office alinle Later today!”

She knew exactly what he meant. Her heart was racing, her thoughts turning to static.

“Forget it,” he muttered, voice thick with restraint. “Just let me hold you for a while

A cold shower could take care of the rest.

Abigail raised her hand and gently tangled her fingers in his hair. “Is it so bad””

It’s bearable.” He closed his eyes for a moment, savoring her touch. The way she stroked his hair calmed him softened even the corners of his temper.

Then take a deep breath. Don’t think. Don’t move. Don’t do anything. I’m not ready? She meant it. The thought of baring herself to him, not just physically, but emotionally, was something she hadn’t allowed herself to consider, not seriously.

Sebastian didn’t want to let go. He held her like she might vanish.

After a beat. Abigail gave him a light smack on the back of the head. “Get up already”

She realized then that the intimacy of the night had changed something between them.

The distance that once stood, formal and polite, had thinned. She’d never touched him so casually before, never felt entitled to.

In her heart. Sebastian had always been the one above, the unreachable.

Even though he had bent for her and humbled himself in ways no man of his position would, she still found it hard to treat him as anything other than the man on the pedestal.

Sebastian gave a soft murmur, still holding her, his tone unusually sweet. Just a little longer…

Abigail rolled her eyes and gently pushed him off. “I’m going to be late. If you have time later, go check out some apartments. A one–bedroom is fine. Oh, and… are you taking the cars?”

“No. They’ve lived here for years. The place is big, they’ve got space to run. We’ll just come visit them now and then. He flopped back on the bed. lazily dragging the blanket over his lower half.

Abigail shot him a glance

Sebastian caught the look and let out a dry chuckle. “Still checking me out?”

“I heard some guys look good, but… fall short where it counts,” she said with a teasing smile, then hopped out of bed before he could respond.

Sebastian threw off the covers and jumped up, catching her in just a few steps as she tried to escape

With one hand he caught hers, and with the other be wrapped an arm around her shoulders, drawing her back into his embrace. His voice dropped, serious now. Tve been trading for years. I eat clean. I’m very much not lacking”

He pressed her hand firmly against his waist

He was holding bark, but only just

Their shadows fell against the wall, a single sillonite

Sebastian’s right made him loom over her, his body curved p

protectively around hers.

Abigail’s hand was locked in his, unable to move. She laughed softly, admiting defeat. “I was only kidding

“Nos funny,” he said, voice low. “No matter what you meant by it, I want to make you happy, in every way”

What rattled him wasn’t the joke itself, but the possibility that she might actually doubt him.

He had held back thus long as not to scare her, but he couldn’t allow to be misunderstood.

“Okay I need to shower and go to work,” she murmured, checks pink as she changed the subgen

“It’s bag,” Sebastian said under his breath

She didn’t catch it at first. Culy when he let her go did she realize what he meant, and her entire face turned pod

“Got it” she mumbled, hurrying to the door. “Go look at apartments today”
