lifeless body.
Upon settling him in bed, she realized that their sweat had mingled, leaving her shirt
soaked.
“You’re incredibly heavy! Count yourself lucky that I didn’t have to dismember you.”
Alyssa panted.
Then, she hurried to the bathroom to retrieve a wet towel. She gently applied it to Jasper’s
skin to
alleviate his fever.
Exhausted, she slumped beside the bed and complained, “I’m so speechless. Why did you

She shot the unconscious man an irritated look. Despite her harsh remarks, a sense of
guilt gnawed at her, knowing she was partially responsible for his illness.
“Lyse…” Jasper mumbled with his eyes closed. His lashes fluttered as he unknowingly
professed his love
for her in his dreams.
“That’s enough. Are you trying to cast a spell on me? I’m right here,” she grumbled to

Then, she tried to get up and look for some Ibuprofen in the villa.
Suddenly, Jasper’s bloodshot eyes popped open, and he seized her wrist.
Her expression crumbled as she struggled to free herself. She questioned, “When did you

“I’ve never lied to you…” he rasped between labored breaths. Anxious that she might
escape, he clung to
her wrist.

His eyes, normally devoid of emotion, shone with warmth and deep affection. Her heart
skipped a beat.
Still, she remained sharp-tongued. “I’ve already contacted Xavier, and he’ll be here any

bed. The contours
of his muscular arms were visible beneath his pajamas.
Their breathing grew uneven and intermingled. She gazed up into his seductive eyes,
which resembled a
starry night.
“I thought you promised not to force me against my will,” she said aloud, feeling herself
blush. An

A bead of hot sweat landed on her cheek, stirring her heart. She continued accusing him,
“I can’t trust a

“It’s your fault for visiting me at the wrong time,’ he replied, enveloping her with the
