Watching Sebastian roll the car window back up with no signs of wanting to leave or make a deal with her, Valeria ran her hand through her slightly messy hair. Then, as if making up her mind, she walked around to the other side, opened the door, and got in.Â
The back seat of this car, just as Sebastian had said before, could be folded down into a smallÂ
bed for short rests.Â
The temperature inside the car was warmer, but when she took off her clothes, there was stillÂ
a chill in the air.Â
After taking off her jacket, Valeria crossed her arms and grabbed the hem of her sweater. When she pulled it off, her fair skin instantly broke out in goosebumps.Â
Sebastian didn’t look directly at her, but caught her in his peripheral vision.Â
Her skin was smooth and fine as porcelain, dazzlingly white in the dim light. When it met the cold air, she trembled slightly.Â
His gaze darkened. He didn’t move, but his breathing clearly paused, his chest tightening.Â
In the air was the faint scent of her body.Â
Valeria didn’t normally use perfume. This scent was hard to define. It was a mix of her shampoo, her body wash, and her natural scent.Â
It felt almost tangible, slowly wrapping around him. In such a small space, it became evenÂ
richer, more intoxicating.Â
Sebastian looked at her, her black hair falling over her slender shoulders. Even though theÂ
light inside the car was dim, her features were clearly visible at such close range.Â
She leaned in and cupped his face. Her lips pressed against his. It wasn’t a kiss; it was just a slight touch.Â
Her lips were cool, slightly moist.Â
The corners of her eyes were tinged red, her eyes bloodshot, with faint bluish shadows under her eyelids. She hadn’t rested at all since last night.Â
She seemed to be treating this as a kind of repayment, gratitude, or perhaps a transaction. It was like an equal exchange.Â
Sebastian had no interest in her attempts to draw such clear boundaries.Â

His gaze cooled.Â
He didn’t respond, so Valeria’s kiss became awkward. Her slender fingers cupped his face, her breath brushing against him. He looked at her with eyes deep and black as an abyss, quietly watching her.Â
Valeria froze for a moment. She stopped, then picked up her sweater to put it back on. Her cheeks were pale and her expression calm, without the slightest hint of shyness.Â
Sebastian caught her wrist with one hand and her face with the other.Â
“Are you not going to continue? I helped you. How many times are you planning to let me sleep with you? Are you charging each time?Â
“If you want to be that precise, how many times will it take to settle the debt? I brought you here, I found Mr. Sutton for you, and I pretended to be Shane in front of your grandmother.” Sebastian’s gaze fell on her bare body, shivering slightly.Â
The pearl pendant sat on her chest, glinting faintly against her skin in the dim space.Â
“How many times do you want?” Valeria asked him calmly.Â
“Do you think this is what I want? Do you think I helped you just to sleep with you?” He opened his coat.Â
Grabbing her waist, he pulled her into his arms. He wrapped her in his coat and held her there, passing his body warmth into her.Â
“Valeria, you know what I want.”Â
Did she really need him to spell it out? He wanted her heart.Â
“Leave Shane. Divorce him, okay?” Sebastian closed his eyes, his voice low and muffled from deep in his chest.Â
For the first time, he wanted to be with someone for a long time.Â
