Regarding Jessica’s disdain, Will simply ignored it and stepped forward, dragging her out of the bathroom. He walked to the computer and shut down the files. By the time Jessica tried to mess things up, he had already closed the laptop screen.
Noticing the fruit knife on the coffee table, Jessica quietly reached out her fingers. Before they could touch the knife, he had grabbed her arm and thrown her onto the bed.
Jessica propped herself up, trying to get up, but Will’s hand had already pushed her shoulder back onto the bed, and he straddled her.
Jessica resisted with all her might, but the man’s strength and weight were overwhelmingly superior. She couldn’t break free at all. Will, meanwhile, had already grabbed a tie and bound one of her hands to the bedpost. Confirming she couldn’t escape, he then sat up.
"Get away from me!" Jessica kicked at him, but the man caught her ankle. "You... let go!"
The girl’s clothes and hair were disheveled, her T-shirt wrinkled up to her waist, revealing a sliver of her slender waist. Under the light, it glowed with an enticing ivory sheen.
Will averted his gaze and tossed her leg aside, reaching over to grip her chin, bending his body toward her.
"When a man can’t sleep, he always thinks about doing bad things. If you don’t want me to touch you, you’d better behave!"
Jessica snorted coldly.
Last time, she fell for his trick, but this time, she was fully awake and wouldn’t let him succeed.
The girl’s lips parted slightly, her blonde hair spread beside her head. Although she was gnashing her teeth, she still looked tempting.
Will took a deep breath, released her, and lay down on his own pillow.
There were many things to do tomorrow; he couldn’t waste too much time on her.
Miss Gan trusted him by assigning Jessica to him. If he really did such a thing to her, how could he face Miss Gan? Moreover, how could he fall for a woman like her?
Reaching out, Will turned off the bedside lamp with a click.
Jessica lay in the darkness for a while, not feeling any movement from him, and she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Still, she didn’t dare relax and just lay there quietly.
The room became silent, with only the sound of their breathing remaining.
In the air, there was a faint fragrance. Will recognized it as her scent; he had smelled it when he kissed her earlier.
Will turned over, his back to her, but forgetting their hands were still together. As he turned, he pulled her hand over, resting on his waist.
Jessica immediately withdrew her arm forcefully. Will’s hand was pulled over her waist due to the force.
She quickly shook off his hand and fumbled for the blanket, covering herself and turning to face away from him.
His hand was just behind her back, her long hair fanned out in his palm.
As if possessed, Will closed his fingers, gently twisting a strand of her hair, playing with it. Her hair, unlike her, wasn’t detestable at all; it was soft and smooth, like imported silk from the East.
When he kissed her, he could feel it brushing against his face.
He thought of that kiss again...
