Kneeling for a Second Chance Novel

---- Chapter 153 Sebastian let Valeria go and was about to head out when she grabbed his sleeve. She knew what he was going for. "There's no need for a condom." He looked at her, his eyes narrowing slightly. After amoment, his fingers tightened around her waist. "Are you sure?" "Yeah." Valeria nodded. That was because the doctor had told her she would never be able to conceive again. When it was over, Sebastian opened the kitchen window and lit a cigarette. The hum of the kitchen hood stopped. The small kitchen was still heavy with the charged air between them.

Valeria adjusted her clothes, reaching behind to fasten the clasp of her bra. Sebastian lit a cigarette and held it between his lips. Then, he pulled her closer by the waist, reached around her back, and guided her hands, fastening the clasp with precision. His gaze lingered on her. His fingertips pressed lightly against a faint mark on her ---- shoulder. It was from a few days ago and hadn't faded yet. Her skin was so delicate. He didn't even dare to use much force. A single mark could stay on her skin for so many days.

Sebastian's mind couldn't help but picture Valeria with Shane, wondering if it had been like that with him, too. Had her body once carried the marks Shane had left on her? The thought left a bitter taste in his mouth. With his cigarette pinched between his fingers , he grabbed her face and leaned in to kiss her. She had no strength left to resist. Her calves trembled slightly, still cramping from earlier. His kiss felt heavy and suffocating, almost harsh. Valeria couldn't understand how he had gone from being normal one moment to this sudden, almost irrational mood the next.

Then, she suddenly heard the bedroom door open. Selena came out of her room. Ever since she'd broken her foot, she either hopped like a little bunny or rode her wiggle scooter to get around. She hurriedly pushed against Sebastian's chest. "My daughter is out of her room." Sebastian let go of her. ---- Valeria pressed her lips together, swollen and sore, but luckily, her clothes were intact. She quietly gave him the hint to leave. After all, they were done doing it. However, Sebastian ignored her and stared at the big, red strawberry lying on the floor.

He bent down, picked it up, and popped it into his mouth. They said that sex was nothing for a man, but what did that make the woman in front of him? She told him to leave right after they finished. Instinctively, Valeria blurted out, "That strawberry fell on the floor... It's dirty." For someone as refined as him, he sure didn't mind eating one that had landed on her kitchen floor. "Valeria, you're telling me to leave after getting what you want? That's not how it works." Her face flushed. She questioned him. "Didn't you enjoy it too? Sebastian looked at her.

The bright yellow kitchen light illuminated her small face, which was slightly red. She was especially flushed from head to toe when aroused. She was captivating. He leaned down, lowered his voice, and brushed his cheek against hers. "Yes, it was good," he replied.
