Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 704
Jasper rolled out of his bed and rushed over to Alyssa.
“You-” she began. He grasped her wrist and spun her around dizzyingly into a hug. She bumped her head against his chest.
“Lyse, I’m so glad you’re safe,” Jasper mumbled repeatedly and rested his chin on her shoulder. He seemed to care more about
her than himself even when he was injured.
Alyssa refrained from touching Jasper. She protested, “You’re still injured. Don’t move around. Go back to your bed and rest
now.”
“No,” he stubbornly refused, tightening his arms around her.
Widening her eyes, she sensed his fast-beating heart. Why? His body was warm and tense, his trembling suggesting something
was wrong.
“Jasper, you’re not quite yourself now. Please let go of me. You should-Mmph-” She was cut off when Jasper sealed her lips with
a kiss. His heart raced, and his breathing was ragged.
He inched closer to her while she strumbled backward until her back was pressed against the wall. Having nowhere to escape
to, she was subjected to his aggressive kiss.
Jasper closed his eyes and kissed her passionately, like an exhausted traveler who had come across an oasis. He forced her
lips open, and their tongues intertwined.
Her body flushed as he pressed against her and kissed her. His breathing stabilized after a while, and the trembling faded. Even
his uncontrollable desire was reigned in.
Still, he kissed her as forcefully and as deeply as before, and he would have continued doing so all day if not because she was
out of breath.
After the kiss, they were sweaty and panting. Jasper’s patient outfit was drenched and clung to his solid chest. He might as well
not wear anything.
Even his pale lips became rosy. Was he trying to kiss his way back to recovery?

“You bastard! How dare you attack me right after you woke up?” she cursed him out harshly as she struggled to gather herself
after the kiss.
He replied. “And I’ll only attack you.” After the kiss, he felt much refreshed. The bothering frustration no
longer lingered.
His eyes deepened. He boldly pressed hirnself against her and lifted her chin as he remarked, “But it
doesn’t hurt, does it?”
“Get lost! Get into your bed!” She looked away as her heart raced.
“I won’t.”
“Are you not even listening to me now?” she blurted out.
After a pause, he grinned and replied, “Of course, I’ll listen to you, but...” He swallowed hard and tickled her nose with a hot
breath. “... only after I have enough of the kissing.”
Before she could react, he pinned her wrists against the wall. He showered her with aggressive kisses once again.
It was after dusk when Alyssa freed herself from Jasper. She limped exhaudly to Abel’s office, sweaty and in a daze.
She and Jasper did nothing more than kiss, but it somehow felt as though they had scored a home run.
