There was a complicated yet addictive taste in his mouth.
The aroma of pure white wine was mixed with a hint of indescribable fragrance.
Jasper felt his body heat up as the fragrance and the aroma of the wine entered his throat from his mouth.
Jasper felt rather dizzy after drinking two more bottles of white wine in such a new method. All he knew was that the moment Celine got up, his heart felt empty along with the loss of weight on his lap.
He felt an urge to pull her back, to have her sit on his lap obediently and not go anywhere.
Then, Celine said something that caused Jasper’s head to snap up.
“What now, are you scared?”
Celine teased as she looked at Jasper with a shine in her eyes.
With that, Celine slightly leaned down to close the distance between them. Celine’s face was so close to Jasper’s that not even the harsh winds could dissipate the romantic air between them.
“Or perhaps, you want to do it here?”
A pair of fair and soft arms fell on Jasper’s shoulders. Celine half knelt and half squatted before the man, asking her question in such an amorous and attractive posture.
Jasper did not know whether this was caused by the influence of alcohol or if it was something else, but he grabbed one of Celine’s snow-white and flexible arms. He flicked his wrist so that he could hold her hand in his. “It’s exciting on the rooftop of the Empire State Building, no?”
“I don’t want to catch a cold,” Celine spoke and then pulled Jasper to his feet from the sofa. Leaning her chin on his shoulder, Celine spoke by his ear, “My body feels weak. Carry me downstairs, I can’t move.”
Standing up, the harsh breeze cleared a considerable amount of Jasper’s drunkenness.
Celine leaned into Jasper’s ear to speak again, seeing how the man had yet to make a move. “Are you a man or not? I’m going to hold this over your head for the rest of your life if you bail on me now. I already told you I don’t need you to take responsibility.”
