Can’t Win Me Back

It was a beautiful night.

Jasper gently dried Alyssa off and dressed her in a soft silk nightgown.

He lifted her in a princess carry, placed her gently on the bed, and tucked her in.

At this moment, he had finally qualified to be every bit of a caring and attentive husband, tending to his partner with utmost care.

He did not wake her at all throughout the entire process.

Alyssa slept peacefully, occasionally letting out a contented sigh.

She looked tempting.

Jasper swallowed hard.

He caressed her dark hair as he leaned down and kissed her forehead, and then her lips.

Then, he left the room and stepped out onto the balcony.

Solana City was already in its midwinter season, while Kontina was in its most enjoyable season.
