Alyssa’s face was flushed, knowing she’d been caught red-handed. She struggled to get out of Jasper’s grip, the man responding by curling his fingers around her waist.
“The cat got your tongue?”
“I-I was just here to say goodbye to Grandpa, I’m not interested in whatever family secrets you two were

Something delicate fluttered against Jasper’s heart. Alyssa was quite the adorable sight, blushing and
trying to hide herself,
“No secrets.” Jasper grinned.
“Huh?”
“I won’t keep any secrets from you,” Jasper murmured, leaning in until their l*ps were inches apart. He resisted the urge to k*ss her. “Ask me whatever you want, and I’ll tell you what you want to know, in full
