Can’t Win Me Back

Jasper's heart raced, his lips quivering slightly as he continued to gaze at her, unable to find his voice. Who was he, for the likes of extraordinary figures such as Winston and Alyssa, to worry about? “Your brother's reappearance will elicit sympathy from the public, including your father," Alyssa said, her eyes filled with concern. "If he has any intentions of seizing your position, public opinion will be his most potent weapon. Jasper, you need to understand this. A person's words can be as lethal as any weapon..."

Without a word, Jasper cupped her face and drew her into a passionate kiss. It began with a tenderness that quickly deepened, both fueled by a potent mix of desire and unspoken anxieties. Alyssa clung to him, her breath catching in her throat.

When they finally broke apart, Jasper's eyes held a new tenderness. He wrapped her in a protective embrace, as if afraid to lose her.

“I promised to be your guardian angel,” he murmured. "Why has it turned out the other way around?"

Alyssa nestled her head against his broad shoulder, a contented sigh escaping her lips. "Remember, the only person who can truly protect you is me."

Jasper chuckled, a hint of disbelief in his voice. "You still remember that?"

Her eyelids fluttered shut as she tightened her hold around him. “I remember everything you've said."

In the depths of their passionate love, Alyssa remembered every detail of their journey since they met at age 11. Her mind was like a meticulously accurate recorder, preserving each event by its day and time.
