Chapter 1

Author: July
When Jasper Sutton's childhood friend, Kimberly Jensen, once again took the passenger seat, I didn't argue or cause a scene.

I simply turned around and opened the back door—only to pause in surprise.

I didn't expect that Jonathan Clayton, someone as busy as he was, would join this short road trip.

After quickly regaining my composure, I nodded at him with reserved politeness.

Jonathan, wearing glasses and showing traces of fatigue on his face, lifted his eyelids to glance at me. He gave a slight nod in return before closing his eyes again.

While fastening her seatbelt, Kimberly glanced back at me smugly, raising an eyebrow. "Kathy, I get carsick, so I'm sitting in the front, okay?"

"Kimmy gets carsick. Be generous about it. Don't make a fuss over something so trivial all the time."

I let out a soft laugh. "Alright."

Jasper seemed a little surprised but didn't say anything more because Kimberly had already shoved a half-eaten piece of bread into his mouth.

"This tastes bad. Help me finish it, okay, Jazzy?"

Without even frowning, Jasper naturally ate the rest of the bread.

Kimberly glanced at me through the rearview mirror, sticking out her tongue playfully.

I ignored her and grabbed a bottle of soda, trying to open it. The cap was tight, and I still couldn't get it off after two attempts.

Up front, Kimberly was pouting as she handed her bottle to Jasper. "Jazzy, I really can't open it. You know I have no strength in my hands."

Jasper just looked at her dotingly before effortlessly opening the bottle for her.

Then, the two of them took turns sipping from it without the slightest intention of avoiding intimacy.

I felt a wave of nausea.

Just as I was about to set my bottle down, a man's hand suddenly reached over and took it from me.

Under the sleeve of a black casual suit, the cuff of a silver-gray shirt could be seen, neatly fitting around a slender wrist.

The hand was beautiful—long, defined fingers with nails trimmed short and clean.

His fingers looked like polished silver in the shifting light reflecting through the car window.

While I was still stunned, Jonathan had already twisted the cap open and handed the bottle back to me.

The car's music started playing at just the right moment. I quickly took the bottle and murmured a soft "thank you."

Jonathan gave a slight nod and closed his eyes again. He must've just come off a night shift at the hospital. Faint red veins were visible in his tired eyes.

I sipped the soda slowly.

The car had merged smoothly onto the main road.

Kimberly's birthday was coming up. So, Jasper organized this short road trip to celebrate it. About seven to eight of us were in three cars, heading to a hot spring resort a hundred miles away.

Not long after we started driving, Kimberly practically glued herself to Jasper's side.

The music was loud, making it hard to hear what they were saying, but they were clearly enjoying themselves.

Lately, Jasper and I have had several unpleasant arguments because of his inappropriate closeness with Kimberly. He promised to be more mindful next time.

But whenever he saw Kimberly again, that promise vanished into thin air.

Suddenly, everything felt meaningless to me.

I lowered my head, chuckled to myself, then turned to look out the window.

The mountain roads twisted and turned, with the occasional loose rock scattered along the path.

As the car jolted, I couldn't help but lean to the side. My bare knee under my skirt brushed against Jonathan's thigh—pressed tightly against it.

I wanted to move away instinctively. But then I noticed a faint reddish mark on Kimberly's neck. Even a fool could recognize it—a kiss mark.

There was no need to guess who left it.

In that instant, a surge of defiance rose within me, and I simply froze, leaving my knee where it was.

Just then, Jonathan opened his eyes and looked at me.

I pretended to be perfectly calm, staring straight ahead, refusing to meet his gaze. Yet, my knee, pressed against the outside of his thigh, subtly shifted closer, pressing in even more.

Only a thin layer of fabric separated us.

I could clearly feel the firmness and heat of his muscles beneath. Waves of warmth surged through me, setting my nerves alight as if electrified.

    "I was wearing a man's shirt." Jasper's pupils contracted instantly, and his face gradually turned ashen. "That shirt belongs to him. We were together that night—drank, talked, and slept." "Katherine!" he roared through gritted teeth. "Don't be mad," I tilted my head slightly. "Didn't you and Kimberly do the same? Besides, we hadn't even broken up at that time." "That's different! I was just messing around with her! If I really liked her, there'd be no place for you!" Jasper's voice was low and furious, nearly trembling with rage. "You're right, it is different. Because I'm serious. I really like him." "Who the hell is this guy?" Jasper was about to lose his mind. No one had ever dared to steal what was his—until now. "I swear I'll skin him alive!" He was seething, completely unhinged."Who do you want to skin?" A deep, cold voice sounded from behind him.It was like someone had pulled the plug on Jasper—his whole body froze. After a long moment, he stiffly tu

    When I woke up again, Jonathan was still in my apartment. I was a little surprised, rubbing my eyes several times. He had his sleeves rolled up, carrying food out from the kitchen. "You're awake? Want something to eat?" "Why… didn't you leave?" Jonathan set the plate down, standing by the dining table, looking at me with my sleepy face. "I was afraid that if I left, you'd ignore me for a long time again."He was wearing glasses, his hair unstyled, falling softly over his forehead. He looked like a piece of warm, polished silver. I liked how he looked with his glasses on. But I liked it even more when I could take them off myself. "Jonathan…" I walked up to him, looking into his eyes. "I have nothing right now. I might even lose my job. And… I'm not really the daughter of the Robinsons—I'm just an abandoned child they adopted. "I'm selfish and maybe a little vain. I don't think you'd like someone like me."Jonathan seemed to sense my vulnerability, my insecur

    The agreement wasn't handed to me—it was thrown in my face.I moved into a new rental apartment, trying hard to pull myself together. During this time, Jonathan contacted me several times. I only gave brief replies when he asked about my health. He also tried to meet up with me. But after thinking it over for a long time, I refused. I was afraid that the moment I saw him, I'd lose control. I'd want to hug him, kiss him, sleep with him. I'd want to make him completely mine. But at the same time, I stayed painfully clear-headed, afraid that this beautiful dream would end up being nothing more than an illusion.Jonathan didn't push me or cling to me. Sometimes, I'd scroll through his social media. He rarely posted—just updates about morning runs or night jogs. I felt like a creep, zooming in on his photos, greedily taking in every detail of him. Work gradually started becoming difficult. I had a vague feeling that maybe Jasper was pulling strings behind the scenes.

    "Can you have a nurse do it?" Jonathan put on his gloves. "Are you questioning my professionalism?" I choked on my words and stayed silent. But the moment his fingers touched me, my face still turned red. Without a doubt, Jonathan's technique was top-notch. I soon felt so comfortable that I was drifting off to sleep. Toward the end, I think I heard him call my name. But I was too drowsy to open my eyes. He said something to me—or maybe nothing at all—before turning and leaving.I fell into a deep sleep, and when I woke up, I didn't go looking for Jonathan. I just asked a nurse to pass along a message for me and quietly left. Wearing a mask, I kept my head down as I walked out of the elevator toward the hospital entrance. But as soon as I reached the ground floor, someone grabbed my arm. Then came a slap, hard enough to leave me stunned.When I snapped back to my senses, I saw the cold, furious faces of my two brothers. "Katherine, you're coming with us to see Mr.

    I gradually drifted off in thought again. My mind was filled with images of that night—how these hands had roamed over me, explored places no one had ever ventured before, and brought me such overwhelming pleasure, making me feel both alive and on the verge of collapse. I felt like I was completely ruined. My head was filled with nothing but indecent thoughts. …"Is the area with the fibrocystic growth hurting again?"Jonathan finished washing his hands, disinfected them, and dried them before walking over to me. "Sorry, Katie. I've been really busy these past few days and couldn't reach out to you right away." I stared at him in a daze. It had only been three days, but he seemed thinner already. A faint stubble had grown on his chin—he clearly hadn't had time to shave.I couldn't help but raise my hand and gently touch it. "Jonathan, you didn't even shave. You look ugly." He grabbed my hand, rubbing his chin against my palm with a soft chuckle. "I'll go shave now."

    Jasper's pupils suddenly contracted as he pointed at the mark on my neck, his voice rising sharply. "What's that on your neck?" I glanced at him and casually touched it. "Probably a mosquito bite." "Katherine! Who the hell are you trying to fool?" "Then what do you think it is? And even if it's exactly what you think, so what? "Men and women can have pure friendships, you know. Even if we kissed a little, it just means we're really close friends." After saying that, I looked at Kimberly. "Don't you agree, Ms. Jensen?" Kimberly's face flushed bright red, but she couldn't come up with a response. She tugged at Jasper, looking like she was about to cry. But Jasper completely ignored her, his eyes locked on the mark on my neck. "Katherine, which random guy did you go drinking with last night? You'd better tell me clearly!""If you're so curious, why don't you find out yourself?" I raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Now, could you move? I'd like to get some rest." Maybe it
