Jennifer's heart was beating rapidly to see how close Jason was to her.

They were both just a few inches away, and Jennifer couldn't help but feel that Jason could clearly hear her heartbeat that was roaring like a thunderstorm in her ears.

She was imagining all kinds of things to happen at any moment but nothing occurred, even after half an hour had passed.

Yet, she didn't feel disappointed. Instead, she smiled brightly at Jason, who was having trouble controlling his erratic breathing.

Jennifer felt reassured while being next to Jason, knowing that he wouldn't take any undue advantage of her.

Though they had never spoken it out loud, she knew that there was no reason to fear being abandoned by him if she wouldn't do what he wanted.

The only one she was left with was Jason, and she would do everything in order to not lose him.

As such, Jennifer would let him have her even if she was unsure if she was ready for that.

However, there didn't even seem to be the slightest possibility of Jason forcing her to do anything.

This thought warmed her heart and a tingling sensation overcame her entire body.

The longer she looked at Jason, the more intense this feeling became.

Hence, it was only a moment later that she was lying next to him with her eyes focused on Jason's face, wanting to memorize every single detail about him.

Slowly and a little hesitantly, she stretched out her hand while lightly touching his Stigma with the tip of her fingers, before moving them along his face.

It took every ounce of determination to not grab her hand and pull her close as he felt Jennifer's smooth hand lightly caressing his cheek, causing him to almost stiffen.

Only his sheer willpower prevented him from moving out of a sudden.

He didn't want to show her that he was yet to fall asleep, which was most likely what she assumed to be the case.

However, Jennifer didn't make it easy for Jason because he could sense that she was slowly approaching him.

His hands under the blankets were tightly clenched, preventing him from moving, which made him feel like he was trying to imprison herself.

It was the first time he was almost unable to control himself, and he never expected that suppressing his desires would be as difficult as it was right now.

As such, he was using his utmost to prevent doing anything that he would regret later.

For her, it was like she was watching a sleeping beauty in the form of a porcelain sculpture.

And, before she knew it, her head was right in front of Jason's.

Her hand gently held up his chin, as she softly pressed her lips on his.

It had been so natural for her to kiss him that she took a moment to realize what she was doing.

The only thing she knew was that it felt the right thing to do.

Her body had moved on her own, but tasting his soft lips didn't feel bad.

On the contrary, she felt a zap of energy coursing through her body that made her entire being feel ecstatic.

She felt drawn towards Jason, his soft and warm lips, his embraceand everything about him.

This made her move even closer to him.

Her lips didn't want to separate from Jason's and she was gently trying to open them with her own.

Jason's defenses were slowly crumbling and his body demanded him to give in to his desires.

But against her wishes and that of his own, he used his entire willpower to push her away.

If she would have continued for even just a second, he wouldn't be sure if he would be able to hold back.

Even his heart was racing as he was trying to get a grip on his roaring emotions. Thus, Jason couldn't help but blurt out with all his remaining energy.

"You knowwhat you are doing is not exactly helping me from holding back?!"

Upon opening his eyes, he saw Jennifer right in front of him. Her eyes were still lingering on his lips, while she was slowly approaching him again.

Yet, the moment she saw that he had opened his eyes, her entire being froze. She was astonished about the vigorously gleaming golden eyes that seemed to stare into the depth of her soul.

However, the astonishment quickly subsided as she smiled subtly, pushing his arm away to move closer to his head.

Once she was closer to his ear Jennifer's desire resurfaced. Even if her mind was telling her to not rush and proceed slowly, her entire being was completely bewitched by Jason.

As such, she didn't want him to hold back anymore either!

"Nobody told you to hold back!"

Her voice was low, but tempting, as she gave him a sly smile.

The words combined with her gaze hit the depth of Jason's conscience, unleashing the beast within him.

Using very little force, Jason grasped her shoulder and turned her over. As she lay on the mattress, Jason was now on top of her.

He placed her hands on the sides to avoid falling on her.

Slowly, he moved his arms close to her head and prevented Jennifer from averting her gaze.

As he looked into her eyes, she felt a sudden burst of embarrassment spreading through her, sending tingles all over her body.

Her heart fluttered when she saw Jason's golden eyes that gleamed brightly along with a vivid smile on his face and his excitement which was evident.

"Are you sure that is what you want?" He asked one last time in a slow voice.

Though he knew she wanted what he had been waiting for, he wanted to hear from her.

He would allow himself to give in to his desires only if she wanted it to.

Unable to look into Jason's eyes that burned with the raw emotion of lust, Jennifer could only try looking to the left.

Her cheeks were beet-red, and she felt as if she was on fire as the tingling sensation of her entire body intensified, while her legs were pressed together in embarrassment.

Yet, instead of giving in to shyness, Jennifer decided to act on her needs.

Her heart was on fire as she accepted everything about Jason.

Subtly nodding her head, she answered in a barely audible voice.

"Yes"

Hearing her answer made Jason feel as if a dam collapsed, breaking into countless pieces, releasing Jason's suppressed desires.

Slowly leaning into Jennifer, he gently moved her head to face him and planted a kiss on her lips.

It was a seemingly normal kiss, but for the two of them, it was much more than that.

Jennifer had expected Jason to turn into a wild beast after she straightforwardly answered him. Yet, his gentleness overwhelmed her as she returned the kiss before she even knew.

Coiling her arms around his neck, Jennifer pulled Jason even closer, causing him to almost lose balance and fall on her.

Yet, she showed no signs of slowing down.

Instead, she began to kiss him wildly, wanting to get a taste of his sweet lips again.

For years, she had wanted to be with him, yet the timing had always been wrong.

After having separated on Kinra island, Jennifer had felt as if they would never meet again.

However, she had never received enough time to even be really sad about their separation because there was not even a single day in which Jennifer was able to have peace in her mind.

Pursued by multiple races that wanted nothing but her death, Jennifer had constantly been on the run.

She had been desperate to survive and she had been on her ownuntil she reunited with Jason.

He was like a steadfast rock, unmovable, and calm even in the most deadly and chaotic situations.

Thus, since they had reunited, Jason had become her pillar of support, and the person she relied the most onhe was the only loved one she had in her life.

Her love for him was different than it had been for her master.

It was stronger, and more intense, causing her body to react in ways she had never felt before.

Jennifer felt exhilarated, and her body seemed to have acquired a mind of its own, acting on fulfilling the desires she had shoved in the pits of her heart, carefully hidden for a very long time.

While they continued to passionately kiss, they lost themselves in their lust as Jason's hand was slowly inching towards her loosened blouse, lifting it slowly.

This caused Jennifer to let out a gasp to feel his hands gently caressing her naked body.

He was being very slow and was leisurely moving her hands on her skin, sending pleasant shivers down her spine.

However, when she saw that her hands were lying at her sides limply, she decided to put them to good use.

Grasping his collar, she held the material of his shirt tightly, almost tearing it apart.

Perceiving the sudden confusion in Jennifer's eyes, he knew that both of them were inexperienced and a little clumsy in whatever they were doing.

Hearing her wildly thumping heart, he knew that she was as nervous as he was, which caused him to stop for a moment,

Lifting his upper body, he smiled at Jennifer, before he grasped his shirt, and took it off his head in a single smooth movement.

Jennifer had always eyed at his physique in the form of stolen glances whenever she felt that he wasn't looking.

But, seeing him shirtless made her gasp in wonder. His toned upper body that was beaten into the perfect shape after years of fights and intense training was a sight to behold.

Seeing him on top of her, she would have been otherwise afraid, even more so if they were in the situation for the first time.

Yet, right now, Jennifer was the complete opposite, which she didn't even realize as she couldn't help but look at him with the raw emotion of pure, simple need- the need to claim him for herself.

The worry and tension she had felt before completely disappeared as she mumbled,

"I want you!"
