She then remembered that Willow was around too. I can ask her out for a bit of fun. Shirley smiled.
The sun shone upon the world, waking up the metropolis. For once, Willow woke up early. She extended her arm,
but there was nothing beside her. Her eyes snapped open. Out of her concern for Jasper's old job, she was worried
whenever he wasn't around.
She got up and went around to find him. When she saw him doing pull-ups in the courtyard, and easily too, she
heaved a sigh of relief. She stood at the doorway and watched him work out. His arms were powerful, and his core
was taut. His toned and sexy back was fully exposed to her. She blushed.
Willow draped a shirt over herself and went over. Noticing her coming closer, Jasper hopped down and turned
around. "You're up early."

this. Take me up there."
"You sure?" Jasper asked. Willow didn't want to be looked down upon. She nodded. "I can do ten pull- ups."
Jasper bent over and lifted her. Willow held the bar. The moment Jasper let go, she realized she had spoken too
soon about how she could do ten pull-ups. It would be a miracle if she could even do one. She used every ounce of
her strength to pull herself up, but even after she had exhausted every fiber of strength in her body, she still failed
to do one pull-up.
Jasper held back his laughter and took her back down. Her hands were already red. Concerned, he bowed his head
and blew on it. "Does it hurt?"
Willow looked at him. She thought he would laugh at her, but there was only love in his eyes. The acceptance she
felt from him made her blush more, and she leaned closer in his embrace. She said, "I'm useless." Jasper put an
arm around her waist. "You're not useless. You're awesome."
Willow blinked, "How am I awesome?"
"They say men conquer the world, and women conquer men. You've conquered me, so that makes you awesome."
Willow chuckled and fell into his embrace. She loved this compliment.
Jasper noticed she wasn't wearing a lot of layers, so he picked her up and went into the lounge. Jasper was feeling
hyped up in the morning. Willow saw desire in his gaze.
She breathed heavily. A night of rest later, she had gained back her stamina. She rubbed Jasper's arm. "What are
you thinking?"
"Take a guess," Jasper said in a raspy voice. Willow gulped. "Don't you need any rest?"
"I don't have to rest if it means satisfying you." He took her upstairs. Willow complained, "Hey, don't make this my
fault. You want this for yourself."

Jasper silenced her with a kiss. It was already eleven when Willow woke up again. She realized they hadn't been
holding back at all. Is this really alright? However, she got over it quickly. As long as we're happy, to hell with
everything else.
The Meyers Residence. It was Shirley's grandmother's abode. Shirley's grandmother was a septuagenarian with
graying hair. Ever since her husband's death, the dame had been living a lonely life. Shirley's mother took the
opportunity to ask Shirley to spend some time with the dame.
After she woke up in the morning, Shirley took a stroll with her grandmother. They got some fresh greens on their
way back, after which she watched some news in the lounge. Just when Shirley was about to change the channel,
something grabbed her attention.
It was the footage of a big shot receiving foreign dignitaries. The camera captured the scene clearly. He was about
six-foot-three and towering. There was a regal smile on his face, but that smile felt distant.
