Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 2308

Tears welled up in Alyssa's eyes as she wrinkled her nose slightly and pushed her luck. "A friend? Lover? Ex- lover? Or... someone who's unable to move on?"

Jasper's eyes were as dark as the night sky. "I don't know."

Alyssa stared at the cold, emotionless man before her, overwhelmed with helplessness. No words could describe the disappointment she felt.

"You've seen me now. You may leave."

To her surprise, in the next second, Jasper shoved the door open without warning. As he had exerted too much force, Alyssa stumbled and let out a small gasp as she fell backward.

In an instant, Jasper lunged forward, wrapping a muscular arm around her waist and pulling her close. Their bodies pressed together, so close she could feel his warmth, their breaths mingling in the space between them. Jasper could even see, with much clarity, those tiny pores on Alyssa's supple skin.

"L-Let go of me..." Alyssa's heart raced as she squirmed in his grip.
