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

“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

“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.
