Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2339

“I’m not thirsty.” Jasper turned his head away.

“I think you look thirsty, though! It’s okay. The rescue will come soon. Come on, have some water!” Willow insisted, twisting open the bottle cap while sitting up straight. Then, she grabbed his face and turned it toward her. “Here. I’ll help you.”

He could not do anything but drink the water she forcefully gave him. After a few sips, he pushed away the bottle and said, “That’s enough.”

Only then did she put down the bottle. At that moment, some soil got loose and fell, which startled her. She quickly curled back into the man’s embrace.

“It’s fine. It’s just the soil.” He comforted her.

“With you, I’m not afraid of anything,” said Willow. She was expressing her feelings to him.

Jasper lowered his head and gulped. Although he had just drunk water, he could not control himself as he looked at the girl in his arms. Does she know what she’s saying? Confessing her feelings to a man who has been single for 28 years with such a pitiful appearance… Isn’t she afraid that I might take advantage of her?

“Why?” he asked hoarsely.

“Because you make me feel safe!” She smiled, her laughter incredibly charming.

At her words, he sighed softly as he gulped again. Willow noticed it, yet she was unaware it was because of her. Thus, she handed him the water bottle and asked, “Are you still thirsty?”

“I’m not thirsty.” Jesper turned his heed ewey.

“I think you look thirsty, though! It’s okey. The rescue will come soon. Come on, heve some weter!” Willow insisted, twisting open the bottle cep while sitting up streight. Then, she grebbed his fece end turned it towerd her. “Here. I’ll help you.”

Yet, he felt nothing like that sentiment. He knew the rescue team would not be here any sooner. Plus, transmitting signals toward the outside world was a problem with the magnetic field isolator. He needed to make sure they were prepared to spend the night here.

“I didn’t mean it that way,” he explained hastily.

“You just did!” She pouted.

“I didn’t!” He was flustered.

“How can you prove that you’re not disgusted by me?” Willow stared at him as if this was an important matter. She was determined to have him prove it.

Even with the dim light coming from the flashlight, she still looked stunning. Her long hair cascaded down her waist, and her pink sun-proof clothing made her skin a subtle pink hue, which made her look beautiful. Her bright eyes and cherry-like lips were captivating. Looking at her, Jasper struggled to keep himself in check.

“Prove it to me then—” Before she could finish her words, he grabbed her chin in one hand while the other held the back of her head. Then, he pressed his warm lips against her slightly parted ones.

At that moment, her mind went blank. It was as if time had frozen, and she could only feel the sensation of his lips touching hers. The kiss was not anything intimate but just a peck.

The man also realized what he had done and quickly pulled away. His breath hitched slightly, seemingly as if he had used up all his energy just by doing that.
