Jasper nodded in satisfaction. âGreat! Letâs continue tonight.â
The blanket slipped off Willowâs shoulder, exposing her porcelain skin. He couldnât help but swallow hard as desire surged through him again. She was like a drug to him, intoxicating after just one taste.
However, he knew he had to take things slow, especially since it was her first time.
âIâll take a quick shower. Wait for me outside,â she said, still feeling shy about exposing herself to him, even after everything they had done.
After kissing her forehead, Jasper left to wait. outside. As Willow got out of bed, she felt aches all over, a testament to the intensity of their activities.
That afternoon, she resembled a lazy kitten, curled up in his arms as she dozed off. Occasionally, he gently ran his fingers through her silky hair, and she nuzzled her cheek. against his chest. The sensual and tender. moments reignited his desire.
His long arms gently encircled her waist, and her soft, voluptuous form pressed tightly against him. This sensation made him feel like the whole world was in his grasp. Indeed, this moment was everything to him.
That night, Willow grew slightly bolder and turned on a small lamp. The dim lights cast an enchanting glow, making everything seem like a dream.
They had spent two weeks on the island when Jasper received a call from Antoine, who had news about a donation and urged Jasper to return to the military base promptly.
When Jasper asked if he could bring Willow, Antoine didnât object. Antoine thought it was about time he met his nephewâs future wife.
While Jasper was packing their luggage, a military-grade aircraft landed at the islandâs airport. Willow accompanied Jasper back to the military base, as she wanted to be by his side during his surgery.
The sun was setting as they arrived at the military base, and Antoine personally welcomed them.
âUncle!â Jasper greeted Antoine. At the same time, Willow, holding hands with Jasper, politely greeted Antoine. âMr. Wyatt.â
Antoine looked at her. Since he had always seen her in surveillance footage, he finally understood why his nephew was so enamored. with her when Antoine saw her in person. She was captivating, exuding nobility and elegance while radiating determination and courage.
âMay I call you Willow?â Antoine asked with a warm smile, finding âMiss Presgraveâ a bit too formal.
Curling her lips into a smile, she replied, âOf course you can! You can just call me Willow.â
âGreat! Welcome, Willow.â
Jasper felt relieved when he saw Antoine acknowledging their relationship. He held Willowâs hand and said, âLet me show you to my room where you can rest.â
âJasper, the surgery is scheduled for tonight. You should rest, calm your nerves, and come see me later.â
After nodding, Jasper led Willow to his quarter.
This wasnât her first time visiting a military base, as she used to accompany her father to Richardâs base. Hence, she was pretty familiar with high-security places like these. Still, she was intrigued by Jasperâs life and wanted to see how he had lived all these years.
Once they arrived at his room, she was greeted by a tidy and well-organized space. She couldnât help but feel a little self-conscious, considering even she, as a woman, struggled to maintain her room as impeccably as he had.
Jasper poured her a glass of water. âWillow, take a seat. Iâll be right back.â-
âGo ahead and attend to your matters. Iâll be fine, Willow assured him. She understood that the most crucial thing at this moment was the success of his surgery.
Once he left, she couldnât resist her curiosity any longer. She began to explore the room, touching various items because everything in there seemed strangely familiar, tinged with his aura. But right then, someone burst into the room without knocking, exclaiming excitedly, âJasper!â
The woman who entered and Willow standing behind the door locked eyes. Aimee had heard that Jasper had returned, so she hurried over but hadnât anticipated him bringing another woman.
