Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2432

In the dim light of their room, Jason gently removed Emily's lace nightgown, placing it aside. His hands didn't leave her; instead, they wrapped around her soft, smooth waist, drawing her closer into his embrace.

In the faint light, her face was soft and flawless, completely unguarded and peacefully asleep.

Her slightly parted lips seemed to invite him closer.

Jason, having yearned for this moment, didn't hesitate. He leaned in and captured her lips with his.

In a haze, Emily began to respond under his guidance, innocent as a child believing she'd found her favorite candy.

As a bit of clarity returned to Emily, she opened her eyes to see Jason's intense, focused gaze. Her body went limp, unable to push him away.

The sound of their breaths only added to the charged atmosphere in the room.

Jason shifted slightly, holding her close, his kisses endless.

It was only when Emily nearly succumbed to a lack of oxygen that he finally released her, his lips trailing down her jawline...

With her freedom briefly returned, Emily gasped for air, her mind growing clearer, realizing this wasn't a dream.

In the darkness, she stared at the ceiling, watching the faint shadows dance. Suddenly, a look of uncertainty and panic crossed her face, and she instinctively reached for Jason's shoulder. "Jason!"

Jason closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then sat up, holding her in his arms once more.

He carefully fastened the buttons of her nightgown.

Both of their heartbeats were erratic.

After a moment, Emily whispered, "Give me some time to prepare."

"Mhm," Jason replied in a husky voice, equally unprepared for how quickly things had progressed. While he'd longed for this moment, he recognized it was too soon for her.

Sensing his tension and ragged breathing, Emily asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

She thought he might be coming down with a cold and reached to check his forehead.

Jason caught her hand, pressing it against his neck, his voice a rough whisper, "Don't move."
