Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 2028

“It’s late. You should stop, or it’s going to hurt your eyes,” said Jasper. It was already eleven.

Willow’s eyes were getting sore. She took out a bottle of eye drops and handed it to Jasper. “Can you help me with this, Jasper?”

Jasper got up and sat on the edge of her bed. She was in a set of pink cotton pajamas. For some reason, her skin shone with a healthy sheen when she was wearing pink. She looked so delectable.

Willow had a pair of big, beautiful eyes that were clean and innocent like an infant’s. Jasper dropped a few eye drops into her eyes, and Willow quickly snapped her peepers shut. She had an animated look on her face, and her lips were shut tightly. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Jasper stared at her lustrous lips. They smelled so sweet and inviting. When Willow snapped her eyes open, Jasper quickly looked away, his breathing laborious.

“Do you want a few drops of this? It’s good.”

“No.”

“Aw, come on. Just lie down.” Willow pushed him down on the bed and tried to drop some eye drops into his eye.

Jasper couldn’t bear to dampen her enthusiasm, so he lay down. Willow was inches away, staring at him. “You have beautiful eyes.” She then dropped some eye drops into his eyes.

While his eyes were closed, Willow kept staring at his face. He then opened his eyes, but Willow already had her fill. She then looked at his Adam’s apple and touched it.

Jasper’s eyes went wide. What is she doing? “Don’t touch it,” he said.

“I’ve never touched a guy’s Adam’s apple before. I want to know how it feels.” Willow was observing him curiously like he was a work of art.

“Don’t touch anyone else’s throat, got it?” Jasper stood up.

“I don’t like touching anyone else’s throat. Only yours,” said Willow before she got back to her bed. “Just sleep. You must be tired.”

There was no way he could sleep. Jasper pulled the blanket over to cover up his crotch. She has no idea how much she just riled me up.

Morning came, and Willow woke up. She looked at Jasper’s bed, but he was not around. She then looked outside the window and saw a few islands on the horizon. They were finally at their next destination.

She left her room, and a bodyguard approached her. “Do you need anything, miss?”

“It’s alright. I’m looking for someone. Have you seen Mr. Wyatt?”

“He went to the islands an hour ago.”

“Alone?” Willow was shocked, and then she got worried.

“With your team leader. They’re on a recon mission,” assured the bodyguards.

Even so, Willow still looked at the islands in worry, hoping that Jasper would come back soon.

Because of Winston’s orders, the ship was not allowed to approach the islands until he and Jasper came back with enough intelligence. Barely anyone had explored these islands before, so they had to make sure they were safe, not to mention there could be pirates around, so they had to check their surroundings for any dangers.

Willow couldn’t stay still, so she kept visiting the control room. Finally, at three in the afternoon, they established contact with Winston.

“Are you there, captain? What’s the situation?” a member asked.

“Yeah. We need to check around for a couple more hours, but tell everyone there’s nothing to worry about. We’ll be back in a flash.”

Willow quickly took the pager. “Is Jasper there, captain?”

“Ah, hello, Willow. Yeah, he’s with me.”

“Let me talk to him,” said Willow.

A familiar voice quickly said, “I’m fine.”

Just like that, Willow felt a weight getting taken off her shoulders, and she smiled. “You have to tell me before you leave next time.”

“Sure,” said Jasper.

Dusk came, and Winston called them once more, telling the ship’s operator to dock at the pier and that everyone could disembark now.
