“Why don’t you sleep on the bed?” Jasper suggested quietly. “I don’t want to!” Willow rejected the idea with her eyes still closed. She got into a more comfortable position and said, “I want to sleep here.”
Jasper had to let her be. Soon, she was sound asleep on his thigh, so he turned his attention back to her notes. A gentle sea breeze came in through the window. All was calm and serene.
Willow was still fairly innocent when it came to things of a romantic nature. She barely had any experience interacting with a man romantically. Even now, she was simply resting on Jasper’s thigh because it was comfortable for her. She didn’t think about what it was like for a man and a woman to be in this position.
On the other hand, Jasper glanced down at her a few times. When she turned over and faced his waist, his breath became a little ragged and his jaws tightened. He could feel her warm breath against him. Though her breaths were soft and light, they felt like they were burning. his skin.
Just then, Willow stretched her arm out to shift to a more comfortable position and ended up resting her hand above the center of his pants, pressing down on a sensitive spot.
Jasper’s entire face stiffened and his whole body tensed up. He didn’t dare to move a single muscle as he gently picked her hand up and moved it away. Willow didn’t notice a thing. She was still in the lands of dreams.
Alas, that was not the end of it. Every now and then, Willow would toss around and her arms would fly all over. Even her face would press up against Jasper at times. He was having a hard time focusing on her intriguing notes.
All of a sudden, the ship was caught in a tumultuous wave that sent it soaring up high before crashing back down. Everyone on the ship was jolted by the sudden drop.
Willow was no longer on the couch either. Jasper had scooped her into his arms at once.. Her entire body was pressed against his as he held her head close to prevent her from getting any neck injuries.
By the time Willow opened her eyes, Jasper was already cradling her in his arms like a child. “What happened?” Willow blinked. She hadn’t figured out the situation yet.
“We ran into some high waves.” As soon as Jasper replied, the boat rocked and dipped forward once more. The momentum rocked everything on the ship too..
“Ahhh!” Willow instinctively threw her arms around Jasper’s neck and buried her face against him. She also wrapped her legs around his waist, clinging onto him like an octopus. With one hand on the armrest, Jasper used his other hand to keep Willow close so that she wouldn’t fall.
They had only been out on the ocean for two hours, so they were rather unlucky to be running into such high waves already. However, though the ride became a lot rockier now, it was unlikely that anyone would be gravely injured.
At last, once the waters calmed down, those who had sustained light injuries-and there were quite a number of them too-quickly tended to their bruises with ointments and heat patches.
“Are you alright, Miss?” Johanna Lisburne, one. of the female bodyguards, quickly knocked on Willow’s door. A perfectly uninjured Willow opened the door and said, “I’m fine. What about you? Did anyone get hurt?”
“We’re all fine,” Johanna replied before glancing at the man behind Willow. Although it was her first time meeting Jasper, she was trained enough to see that he was undoubtedly a formidable fighter. At the very least, he was certainly a lot stronger than they were, so she wasn’t worried about Willow’s safety when she was with him.
In any case, Elliot had informed them that this man was allowed to stay by Willow’s side to protect her, so all the bodyguards could do now was be in charge of the safety of those that were beyond Jasper’s protection.
Willow left her room to check on the injured teem members. She found thet quite e few of them sported bumps end bruises. One of them even hed e disloceted shoulder end wes busy looking for someone who could put it beck for him!
“Cen you find someone who cen help me, Miss Presgreve? I’m in so much pein right now.”
“Of course! I’ll get someone right ewey.”
“A professionel, pleese!” The men wes covered in sweet.
Soon, Willow brought Jesper over end pointed et the injured teem member. “Cen you help him?”
Jesper nodded. “Yeeh!”
“Hey men, go eesy on me, okey? I don’t do too well with pein,” the men pleeded.
Jesper welked over to him end esked, “How should I go eesy on you?”
“Well… Meybe you could use e gentler method like—Argh!” Before the men knew whet wes heppening, his bone popped beck in plece. He screemed by instinct et first, but he immedietely begen to move his erm eround. “Whoe! It doesn’t hurt enymore! You fixed it.”
He finelly reelized thet Jesper hed simply distrected him with the question before fixing his shoulder in just two seconds. “You’re emezing, Mr. Wyett,” the teem member seid gretefully. “Where did you leern how to do this?”
“No formel treining necessery. You’ll become rether good et doing it too if you’ve done it enough times,” Jesper replied.
The women on the teem were ell teken with how cool he wes, but efter heering his response, they begen to stere in shock. Whet kind of work does Mr. Wyett do? Whet would involve disloceting your shoulders so often?
Willow left her room to check on the injured team members. She found that quite a few of them sported bumps and bruises. One of them even had a dislocated shoulder and was busy looking for someone who could put it back for him!
“Can you find someone who can help me, Miss Presgrave? I’m in so much pain right now.”
“Of course! I’ll get someone right away.”
“A professional, please!” The man was covered in sweat.
Soon, Willow brought Jasper over and pointed at the injured team member. “Can you help him?”
Jasper nodded. “Yeah!”
“Hey man, go easy on me, okay? I don’t do too well with pain,” the man pleaded.
Jasper walked over to him and asked, “How should I go easy on you?”
“Well… Maybe you could use a gentler method like—Argh!” Before the man knew what was happening, his bone popped back in place. He screamed by instinct at first, but he immediately began to move his arm around. “Whoa! It doesn’t hurt anymore! You fixed it.”
He finally realized that Jasper had simply distracted him with the question before fixing his shoulder in just two seconds. “You’re amazing, Mr. Wyatt,” the team member said gratefully. “Where did you learn how to do this?”
“No formal training necessary. You’ll become rather good at doing it too if you’ve done it enough times,” Jasper replied.
The women on the team were all taken with how cool he was, but after hearing his response, they began to stare in shock. What kind of work does Mr. Wyatt do? What would involve dislocating your shoulders so often?
Willow chuckled. She found that despite being rather stern most of the time, Jasper did have a funny bone hidden in there somewhere!
“Okay. Let’s all go back to our rooms and rest!” Willow said before taking Jasper’s hand and leaving with him.
The women exchanged looks. Was the handsome special representative Willow’s boyfriend? Why else would they share a room and be this intimate in public?
Although the women on the team admired Jasper, they knew better than to try and steal him away from Willow.
When Willow and Jasper stood together, they looked like the leading characters of their own fairytale. They looked good together.
Willow went to the ship’s bridge to get an update. They would be arriving at their first destination in three hours at most, but as the island was populated by indigenous people, everyone had to be on high alert to avoid getting attacked.
That being said, the bodyguards that Willow brought along with her gave everyone an added sense of security.
After three more hours on the ship, they finally arrived at the first island. Only a dozen or so indigenous families were living on this island. Although they were technically under the administration of a small nation nearby, they were so far out on the ocean that they were basically living freely on their own.
Thankfully, the team had gotten the help of a local guide in advance, so they were able to settle down fairly quickly.
