Can’t Win Me Back

Alyssa waved dismissively. “If I take the hotel, it would definitely strain your relationship with your father. I wouldn’t want that on my conscience.”

“Any news from Silas? Did he meet Rose yet?” Alyssa’s voice bubbled with excitement. “Don’t tell me they succumbed to their desires and got busy with some ‘adult activities.'” She squirmed playfully in his arms.

Jasper, however, took her inappropriate thoughts seriously. “In broad daylight?

Highly unlikely. Besides, it’s Silas’ first date. Doubt he’d be that… bold, would he?”

“Oh, Silas is plenty daring,” Alyssa countered. “It’s that stuffy prosecutor uniform that’s holding back his wild side.”

With a playful grin, she flipped them over, pinning him beneath her. Her fingertip as a guy knows his surroundings when he’s turned on, right? Can men even tell time down there?”

Jasper swallowed hard, his gaze deepening. Deeply smitten, he interpreted Alyssa’s words as a clear invitation. His hand, seemingly of its own accord, began a slow ascent up her thigh.
