At this moment, Willow’s leg directly pressed against Jasper’s crotch. As he drew a deep breath, his lingering
drowsiness was dispelled by her unexpected actions. Yet, with each sigh that escaped his lips, he held onto the hope
that, in due time, she might retract her leg from his body. His intuition proved correct. As she lay there, she sensed
an uneasy presence brushing against her calf, prompting her to roll onto her side.
With a deep exhale of relief, he felt a soothing comfort wash over him. Then, he drew her into a tender embrace,
their bodies fitting together like a perfectly arched bow. Unexpectedly, she turned her head again, ending up face-
to-face with him.
Their faces hovered mere inches apart, and a delicate exhale from Willow grazed Jasper’s jawline as her cheek
gently met his profile. Hence, he closed his eyes and felt helpless at this moment. However, she thought that this
position was uncomfortable, so she turned her back to him, and her bottom ended up directly against his sensitive
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtarea, snugly fitting on it.
His once placid breath now quickened as if caught in a race against time. Does she know how to sleep? She
changed her sleeping position five times in just a few minutes.
It wasn’t entirely Willow’s fault, for she was used to sleeping on a top-of-the-line mattress worth hundreds of
thousands. Now, she had to sleep on a hard mat, so how could she be comfortable? Naturally, she kept searching
for a comfortable sleeping position.
Feeling helpless, Jasper decided to sleep on the boat instead. As he was about to get up, a slender arm wrapped
around his neck, making him lean down. A warm and alluring face drew near in that fleeting moment, and her ruby
lips teasingly grazed the corner of his lips. As this gentle caress graced him, an electrifying wave of sensation
surged through his entire being, enveloping him in a tingling euphoria.
With their breaths so close, she felt a tickle at her nose, so she softly nuzzled against his face. In this tender
moment, she exuded the enchanting allure of a coquettish cat, rendering him utterly defenseless.
At this instant, Jasper’s remarkable endurance and self-control saved him from surrendering to: the tempting urge
to kiss Willow. Then, with a gentle whisper, he implored, “Willow, sleep properly.”
In that instant, her eyes fluttered open, and her surprise was evident in the hazy glint that met the sight of the
handsome face hovering nearby. She blinked and quickly withdrew her arm around his neck, instinctively creating a
bit of space between them..
Under the soft glow of the dim moonlight, their eyes met, and at that moment, her cheeks flushed with a mix of
emotions. She couldn’t help but wonder, What did I just do to him? “Get some sleep. I’ll go out for some fresh air,”
Jasper whispered before leaving.
Yet, the thought of letting him go was inconceivable. The mere idea of being awake at this hour without him by her
side filled Willow with genuine fear. Thus, she summoned her courage and gently pressed her hands against his
chest, firmly pinning him down.
Amidst the darkness, he found himself helplessly overpowered by her, his back firmly pinned to the mat. The dim

subtle blink, she fully grasped the unintended consequences of her actions upon him.
Feeling awkward, Willow.didn’t know whether to get up or continue to press Jasper down. Her exquisitely beautiful,
tiny face hovered just at breath away from his, and her eyes glimmered, revealing a smile she couldn’t conceal.
Suddenly, her long hair cascaded provocatively on his chest, caressing his skin with the grace of a feather, evoking
a delightful flutter in his heart. Amidst a throaty whisper, he entreated, “Go to sleep.”
In a soft, mumbled voice, she confessed, “I can’t.” Her plea followed, laced with vulnerability. “Don’t go. I’m
scared.” “I won’t go, but could you let me go?” He couldn’t bear her pressing herself on him like that.
After a subtle nod, Willow rolled over to Jasper’s side and propped herself up with her elbow as she observed him.
Strangely, the air around them seemed to have grown warmer, as if a gentle caress of heat enveloped them. She
wondered if someone had secretly turned on the heat.
