Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Jasper started, "Hey silly, h-how did you get in here? When..."

His head was still a blur. The hand that habitually held her hand was now gently caressing the area between her ribs.

Alyssa covered her chest and pursed her lips in anger. "Phew! You scared me. Do you have any idea how terrifying your eyes were earlier? You looked like you were about to eat me alive."

"I'm sorry, Lyse. It's a bad habit I have had since my days in the army. It's an unfixable reaction to stress."

When Alyssa heard it, pity simmered in her eyes as she caressed his face.

Jasper felt extremely guilty. He grabbed her hand and kissed her palm. However, he still felt unsettled. "Why did you come here secretly? If someone finds out."

"Secretly? This is my house. Why should I come here secretly? I walked in here loud and proud."

Alyssa narrowed her cunning eyes and touched the tip of his nose with her fingertip. "Hmm? Why do I feel like you're nervous?"

"This is the first time I'm here at your actual home. Lyse, I want to leave a good impression on your family." Jasper's lips curled into a bright smile. His voice was muffled.

"Oh, this is why."

Alyssa couldn't help but laugh. Her fingers playfully undid two of the buttons on his shirt. "Our family is notorious for being hard to mess with, handle, and please. Otherwise, that snake, Jameson Schmidt, would have infiltrated the organization, no?"

"Lyse." Jasper laughed wryly.
