Sophia's hand flew up in anger, aiming to smack him, but Jason grabbed her wrist firmly, "Stop moving around!"

"Mmm," Sophia groaned, caught between pain and pleasure, unintentionally letting out a soft moan.

Jason's body tensed up, his eyes darkening as he kept his hands on her waist, feeling its softness and warmth. His heart was pounding like crazy. Unaware of the tension, Sophia settled down and asked, "Jason, why didn't you go back to Jefferson City?"

Jason's irritation grew, making it hard for him to stay calm. He turned away, silent.

Sophia couldn't figure out where his anger was coming from and felt disheartened. She tried to get up, "You don't have to keep doing this, I'm heading home!" "Don't move!" Jason's hands pressed down on her waist with force.
