Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 2311

Chapter 2311

Just as Willow’s head started drooping, Jasper quickly reached out to stop her from sliding off the

couch. Willow was thoroughly exhausted. Jasper’s firm and broad chest gave her a sense of security,

and he smelled pretty good too. She stretched out on the couch and used his thigh as her pillow.

“Why don’t you sleep on the bed?” Jasper suggested quietly. “I don’t want to!” Willow rejected the idea

with her eyes still closed. She got into a more comfortable position and said, “I want to sleep here.”

Jasper had to let her be. Soon, she was sound asleep on his thigh, so he turned his attention back to

her notes. A gentle sea breeze came in through the window. All was calm and serene.

Willow was still fairly innocent when it came to things of a romantic nature. She barely had any

experience interacting with a man romantically. Even now, she was simply resting on Jasper’s thigh

because it was comfortable for her. She didn’t think about what it was like for a man and a woman to be

in this position.

On the other hand, Jasper glanced down at her a few times. When she turned over and faced his waist,

his breath became a little ragged and his jaws tightened. He could feel her warm breath against him.

Though her breaths were soft and light, they felt like they were burning. his skin.

Just then, Willow stretched her arm out to shift to a more comfortable position and ended up resting her

hand above the center of his pants, pressing down on a sensitive spot.

Jasper’s entire face stiffened and his whole body tensed up. He didn’t dare to move a single muscle as

he gently picked her hand up and moved it away. Willow didn’t notice a thing. She was still in the lands

of dreams.

Alas, that was not the end of it. Every now and then, Willow would toss around and her arms would fly

all over. Even her face would press up against Jasper at times. He was having a hard time focusing on

her intriguing notes.

All of a sudden, the ship was caught in a tumultuous wave that sent it soaring up high before crashing

back down. Everyone on the ship was jolted by the sudden drop.

Willow was no longer on the couch either. Jasper had scooped her into his arms at once.. Her entire

body was pressed against his as he held her head close to prevent her from getting any neck injuries.

By the time Willow opened her eyes, Jasper was already cradling her in his arms like a child. “What

happened?” Willow blinked. She hadn’t figured out the situation yet.

“We ran into some high waves.” As soon as Jasper replied, the boat rocked and dipped forward once

more. The momentum rocked everything on the ship too..

“Ahhh!” Willow instinctively threw her arms around Jasper’s neck and buried her face against him. She

also wrapped her legs around his waist, clinging onto him like an octopus. With one hand on the

armrest, Jasper used his other hand to keep Willow close so that she wouldn’t fall.

They had only been out on the ocean for two hours, so they were rather unlucky to be running into

such high waves already. However, though the ride became a lot rockier now, it was unlikely that

anyone would be gravely injured.

At last, once the waters calmed down, those who had sustained light injuries-and there were quite a

number of them too-quickly tended to their bruises with ointments and heat patches.

“Are you alright, Miss?” Johanna Lisburne, one. of the female bodyguards, quickly knocked on Willow’s

door. A perfectly uninjured Willow opened the door and said, “I’m fine. What about you? Did anyone get

hurt?”

“We’re all fine,” Johanna replied before glancing at the man behind Willow. Although it was her first

time meeting Jasper, she was trained enough to see that he was undoubtedly a formidable fighter. At

the very least, he was certainly a lot stronger than they were, so she wasn’t worried about Willow’s

safety when she was with him.

In any case, Elliot had informed them that this man was allowed to stay by Willow’s side to protect her,

so all the bodyguards could do now was be in charge of the safety of those that were beyond Jasper’s

protection.
