Will opened his mouth and spat out these two words.
Jessica just wanted to smash the bed against him, shattering the smile on his face.
Her lips twitched, and she finally managed a smile, "Colonel Will, please, help me take off the handcuffs, okay?"
Will glanced at her with a frown, "Your attitude is not sincere."
She tried to maintain her smile, "I beg you, please don’t hold it against me, help me take off the handcuffs, alright?"
Will shook his head, "That doesn’t count, come on, keep going."
Jessica’s fingers tightened on the bedsheet, almost tearing it, but she could only suppress her anger.
"Dear Colonel, I know I was wrong before and shouldn’t have opposed you. A handsome and kind gentleman like you wouldn’t hold it against me. So, would you be so kind as to let me off this time?!"
Will squinted his eyes, looking at her face that’s almost cramping from holding back anger, secretly amused.
It seemed she was really anxious; otherwise, she wouldn’t have compromised with him.
He stood up and walked over, taking the key from his jacket pocket and standing in front of her.
Jessica breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly raising her right hand, but Will didn’t unlock that side. Instead, he unlocked the handcuff attached to the bed head and pulled her into the bathroom, cuffing her to the handrail next to the toilet.
"Three minutes, I’m coming in after three minutes, don’t try anything!"
Finished, he walked out with the key, not closing the door.
Jessica looked at the open door, gritting her teeth quietly, and undid the buttons of her pants, swearing to herself that if that bastard dared to peek, she’d cut his thing off and shred it to pieces.
After taking care of her physiological needs, Jessica sighed in relief and got up to put on her clothes.
At this point, Will had already come back in, helping to unlock the handcuff on the handrail.
Jessica walked to the sink to wash her hands, her eyes from the mirror fixated on his fingers holding the key, secretly hatching a plan.
Her eyes landed on the faucet, and she quickly got an idea.
Gathering some water in her hands, she suddenly splashed it at Will’s face, jumping to grab the key.
Will instinctively closed his eyes, getting knocked to the ground by her pounce. Guessing her intention, he flung the key away with force.
The key hit the wall, landing on the toilet tank.
Jessica got up to grab it, but Will swiftly reached out, managing to catch her empty hand, forcefully pulling her back. He tried to cuff her hand to the steel frame of the handrail on the wall, but Jessica struggled, not giving him the chance, while her other hand tried hard to snatch the key, her fingertip just brushing its edge.
Will, in a rush, suddenly raised his left hand, clamping a handcuff onto himself.
With a click, the handcuff locked.
Jessica, tugged by his force, brushed her fingertip against the key, causing it to slide off the tank and drop towards the toilet.
Jessica lunged to catch the key, but her effort was futile. Feeling her movement, the sensor on the toilet automatically flushed, and along with the sound of water, the key disappeared from her sight.
Watching the key vanish before her eyes, Jessica screamed in anger.
"Will, I’m going to kill you!"
Turning around, she swung her fist at his face.
