"Human doll…" Lilith muttered under her breath as she carefully adjusted Rose, tucking the blanket snugly around the little girl before standing up from the bed.
Sebastian's eyes immediately flicked to her as she moved.
But the moment she stood, his gaze froze.
Lilith was still wearing his shirt.
The fabric, already oversized on her, had ridden higher as she stretched, revealing the smooth, fair skin of her thighs. The sight sent a jolt through him, and heat rushed straight to his face.
Sebastian's breath hitched, and he instinctively turned away, his hand moving quickly to cover his nose.
Without a word, he spun on his heel and strode out of the room, his steps faster than usual as he escaped down the hallway.
Maria, who had been waiting nearby, caught sight of him and stepped forward.
"Sir, did you—" she began, but Sebastian brushed past her without even glancing her way.
