My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 2374

Chapter 2374 Embrace in the Shadows

Suddenly, the atmosphere transformed into a hazy ambiguity, a misty veil descending upon them.

Willow's gaze met Jasper's, and the man instinctively drew her into his embrace, a protective gesture against her potential fear. Then, her grip tightened around his waist, a true reflection of her genuine fright. In that instant, their faces hovered mere inches apart as the rhythm of their breaths was a tangible bridge between them.

Her eyes and brows glistened as if touched by the kiss of rain, emanating a liquid luminescence that momentarily stole his breath away. Despite the dimness of the room, his eyes burned with undeniable intensity. At this moment, her breaths became shallow as she wrapped her arms around his neck and lifted her face slightly as a silent invitation for him to kiss her.

Meanwhile, Jasper struggled to restrain the tempest of emotions coursing through him. Amidst the dim light, his tall stature enveloped Willow in the corner of the room, akin to a wolf asserting its claim over territory, resolute in not letting her leave and preventing others from prying.

A nervous gulp traced down her throat, ensnared by the heady symphony of pheromones that enveloped them both, drawing her inexorably closer to the man's inviting neck. On the other hand, his breath hitched, his resolve finally yielding as he gently cupped her chin, guiding her with tenderness as his slender lips met her flushed ones.

After having suppressed their desires for too long, this kiss erupted with fervor as soon as it began. However, Willow was slightly taken aback as an undercurrent of sweetness and surprise swept through her, overwhelming any uncertainty. Every fiber of her being was tightly held in the man's embrace as his passionate kiss consumed her. In this corner, amidst the dimness, they carved out a small world—a sweet sanctuary untouched by others.

Time appeared to lose its hold as their lips intertwined until an inquisitive stray cat leaped onto the windowsill outside, breaking the enchantment and capturing the attention of Jasper, who held the blushing young woman in a fervent embrace.

As she was pressed against his sturdy chest, her face turned a shade of pink as her breaths quickened. She spoke softly, "What's the matter?"

"Meow!" The little cat outside seemed equally startled, meowing frantically. Then, he sighed and said, "Just a little cat."

Willow's lips curved into a smile, but their haven was abruptly illuminated again, exposing their intimate moment. Flushed with embarrassment, she buried her face into Jasper's embrace, feeling self-conscious after the intensity of their kiss.

However, his fingers caressed the back of her head as his chin lightly grazed her hair. A silent sigh escaped him, a mixture of contentment and shared vulnerability.

At that moment, Willow's phone rang. Jasper gently released his grip on her on the couch, saying, "You should take that call!" With a quizzical intrigue, she contemplated who might have called her at this hour. Retrieving the phone, she was taken aback to find her father on the other end.

"Hello, Dad!" Her words flowed from her with a poised composure.

"Willow, where are you?" Her father's voice held a hint of concern.
