Lilith laughed softly, the sound light and teasing as she brushed her damp hair from her face. But Sebastian's eyes drifted lower—
The rain had done her no favors.
Her clothes clung to her figure, the fabric outlining every dangerous curve. It left little to the imagination, and Sebastian felt his throat tighten.
His gaze lingered a little too long, and Lilith caught it, raising a brow with a playful smirk.
Before she could say anything, Sebastian moved.
With one swift motion, he bent down and scooped her effortlessly into his arms.
"human doll!" Lilith gasped, her arms instinctively wrapping around his neck as the sudden lift caught her off guard.
Her heart skipped a beat as she clung to him, glaring playfully. "What do you think you're doing?"
Sebastian looked down at her, his hold firm but gentle, water droplets trickling down his jawline.
