As Jasper’s good friend, Landon felt obliged to help his bro.


    Moving a nearly six-foot-tall man to the bedroom proved to be a huge challenge. Thankfully, the vi


    was


    equipped with an elevator.


    Alyssa managed to drag Jasper to the bedroom, feeling as though she was lugging a 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 andined, “I’m so speechless. Why did you push


    yourself


    so hard when you’re already sick? You’re a handful.”


    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. Hisshes 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 herself.


    “If I had known I would be dealing with this mess, I would have sent Sean instead. I didn’t sign up for


    this.


    Just rest and stay still.”


    Then, she tried to get up and look for some Ibuprofen in the vi.


    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 wake up? Or


    were you conscious the whole time? You’re lying to me, aren’t you?”


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


    to


    her wrist.

    “I heard that you were nning to leave, so I forced myself to wake up. Please, don’t go. Just


    me, even for a little while


    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 minute. I’ve


    given


    you medication and helped you into bed.


    I’ve done everything I can, but it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to stay with you after our divorce. Mr.


    Beckett, please don’t put me in a difficult position.”


    As she leaned forward to get up, Jasper tugged at her wrist, causing her to tumble into his warm


    embrace. She gasped, “Jasp


    Following that, she felt lightheaded and immediately eximed in surprise. Jasper had shifted on top of


    her.


    Fearing that he might crush her with his weight, he braced himself with his arms on the bed. The


    contours


    of his muscr 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


    electrifying feeling coursed through her.


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


    word from you! You’ve gone back on your word right away!”


    “It’s your fault for visiting me at the wrong time,’ he replied, enveloping her with the warmth of his body.


    He stared deep into her soul, captivated by her beauty. “Ms. Alyssa, you’re toying with the life of a sick


    man.”


    She blushed and attempted to retort angrily, but he didn’t give her the chance.
