Colton could smell the flowery scent of Jasmine as he rested his chin on her shoulder. He suddenly had the urge to sniff her neck and kiss it, but he tried to control himself.
'Ugh! You're walking into the lion's den, Colton!'
'Do you want to do it on your own again?!'
Colton could feel the heat of his body rising again, so, he decided to move away from Jasmine before he could lose his self-restraint.
Funny how he wanted to pester her again, but yet, he was the one who lost it!
How come this woman could bring such a sensation to him?
It's not like he was a pervert!
He is not!
He is even choosy about the women he brings to bed, but Jasmine was different!
She makes him hard effortlessly!
"Alright, let's just order take-out food," Colton said as he straightened his body and walked away from Jasmine.
Jasmine felt relieved somehow when Colton moved away from her.
"Do you only eat fruits and vegetables?" J
"Shall we go to bed?" Jasmine was almost speechless when she heard how Colton said those words! The way he said those words sounds like he is inviting her for something or maybe she just thinks too much? Jasmine blinked her eyes as she met Colton's gaze, "Don't start pestering me, Colton!" she warned, and fortunately, he laughed! A laugh that she heard for the first time and she couldn't help but be amazed! She didn't know that he had a deep dimple on the left side of his cheek! "I didn't know that you knew how to laugh!" Jasmine commented. "Hahaha!" Colton's laugh went slow, " Thanks to you, you made me laugh effortlessly," he replied. He laughed when he saw how her expression had changed earlier! Her face was as red as a tomato when she was suppressing her anger! Jasmine raised her brows, "Why?" "Does my face look funny?" she asked as she put her hand on her waist. Colton curled up his lips, lo
Jasmine was woken up by Colton's alarm clock. It was only five in the morning and she still felt sleepy! "It's still early..." Jasmine complained in a groggy voice as she covered her ears with a pillow. "I'm sorry," Colton apologized, "I'll just go out for a jog, just get back to sleep," he said as he turned off the alarm clock before he walked out of the room. IT was six o'clock when Jasmine woke up again. She looked at the tidied bed and found no one in there. "Hasn't he come back yet?" she mumbled. Jasmine tidied the sofa and decided to go to the bathroom to wash up before heading out to prepare for breakfast. ----- Jasmine automatically knitted her brows. She can already smell the toasted bread from the kitchen! Jasmine sniffed and followed the smell to the kitchen. She found Colton in front of the stove and cooking a sunny-side-up egg. His hair was messy and wet. She can tell that he just had a shower becau
Colton did not let go of Jasmine's hand even if they have reached the top floor where Colton's office is located. "Good morning, Mr. Olivares," Alexis greeted his boss, " Mr. Fred Henderson and his niece Maddy Henderson are already waiting for you in your office," he added. "Ennn..." Colton just nodded his head as a response. He then walks to his office, still holding Jasmine's hand. "Uhm. Colton, maybe you should let go of my hand now," Jasmine said. Colton stopped in his track and turn his head to Jasmine, "Why?" "Are you not comfortable with me holding your hand?" He asked. "Yes, You're making me uncomfortable," Jasmine replied without hesitation, and she saw when a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes," I mean... Look, your employees keep on looking at us!" she said in a faint voice that only she and Colton could hear. Colton looked around. Some employees are walking in the hallway with their gaze on them, but they instantly look dow
" Why are you in deep thoughts?" Colton asked Jasmine when they were inside the car. They were just done doing the groceries and were heading back home.Jasmine snapped back to her senses when she heard Colton. She turned her head to him and spoke, " Mr. Fred Henderson seems familiar to me," she said."Maybe because he is known for his philanthropy, you must have seen him on the news," Colton replied, " He used to donate to charities and even sponsored orphanages," he added.Jasmine fell into deep thoughts again, 'Ah, that's why he looked familiar,' she mumbled inside. It's only now she remembers that she once saw him in the orphanage fifteen years ago. She was brought to an orphanage after her mother died, but she only stayed there for a month before the Olivares family took her. " I see..." Jasmine said in a faint voice.Speaking of the orphanage. It's been a long time since she last visited there!She wonders how Mrs. Amanda is now.Mrs.
"Auntie, Uncle!" Jasmine called for Dina and Ed when she got off the taxi in front of the house."Jasmine!" Dina exclaimed as soon as she saw Jasmine, a trace of happiness could be seen on her face. She already missed Jasmine even though it was just one day since she moved out of the house.Dina opened the gate for Jasmine, " Hey, dear, how are you?" she asked as she looked at Jasmine worriedly from head to toe as if checking if she was hurt anywhere."I'm fine, auntie," Jasmine replied, " Don't worry so much about me," she said."I can't help it," Dina replied, " You said it yourself that Mr. Olivares is a mean person. What if he abuses you?" she said in concern."Nah! Don't you trust me, auntie?" Jasmine acted tough, " I am not a weakling, I can defend myself if he tries to hurt me," she assured.Dina just sigh.Sure Jasmine can defend herself!She even knocked that man off with a flying kick!"Come and let's talk insi
"Go on and wash your hands, so that we can have our dinner," Colton said as he turned to the oven. "Oh, you're done cooking already?" Jasmine asked. "Yes!" Colton replied as he took out two medium slices of steaks from the oven. "Wow! We're having steak for dinner!" Jasmine exclaimed with her gaze fixed on the steaks. Colton couldn't help but smile seeing his wife's excited expression, "Yep!" he replied. "So, hurry, before I change my mind and eat you instead," he jokingly said. "Nah! I'm way too delicious compared to these steaks," Jasmine unconsciously replied. "Really?" Colton said as he revealed his naughty smile, "Could I try then?" he asked naughtily. Jasmine put her hand on her waist, " You can never try me without my permission!" she replied, as she raised her brows, giving Colton her sullen look. "I'll wait until you give your permission then," Colton said as he grinned. "Mr. Olivares, could you
"Stay there, Jasmine, otherwise, you will regret it," Colton warned Jasmine."What's wrong with you?" Jasmine was confused by Colton's change of attitude."I am not trying to be rude here, okay." Colton said, "It's just that, I can't be near you right now," he reasoned."How come?" Jasmine continued to ask in confusion."Just don't ask too much," Clint replied sullenly. " You better go to bed and rest now," he added before he turned and headed to the study room.'Tsss!' Jasmine twitched her mouth, " What was that?""He was nice to me and then he switch to being rude after just a moment?" she mumbled in annoyance. She couldn't understand that guy!He is so grumpy like a menopausal woman!Jasmine just finished her wine to head to the bedroom.Colton put his palm in his left chest. His heart and pounding so hard!This kind of emotion is new to him. He doesn't even feel like this to every woman he brought to bed, but
Jasmine walks out of the orphanage but someone chases her. "Excuse me!" Jasmine stopped in her track when she heard someone call her. She turned and saw an old woman approaching her. "I heard you're looking for Mrs. Amanda?" the old woman said. Jasmine stared at the woman and wonder how does she know it. " I...I heard you talked to one of the staff," the woman explained when she notices Jasmine's wondering expression. "Oh," Jasmine blurts out, " Yes, I was looking for Mrs. Amanda," she said, " Do you know her?" she asked. "Yes, I do," the woman replied, "And I know where her daughter lives, and I can give you her address," the woman added. "Oh, thank you," Jasmine said as her eyes lit up! She can finally see Lani and Mrs. Amanda after a long time! ------- Jasmine looked at the old building in front of her. The building seems to be abandoned from the outside. She even thought that the old woman wa
