Chapter 861 The Last Mission: The Stolen Kisses
Day Ninety… Nôv(el)B\\jnn
After visiting Abigail, Stephen sent Jane, Nathan, and Ethan back to the Sparks Mansion. Nathan still avoided Jane because he didn't know how to engage her in conversation.
Things were a little bit awkward between the two of them so he decided to lock himself in his study room, doing nothing.
As he sat there alone, Nathan reminisced about his conversation with Stephen. He learned how Stephen met Jane in Country Z and how she saved his life.
Nathan noticed the sparks in Stephen's eyes whenever he mentioned Jane. He could tell that his best friend had feelings for Jane. That was the first time he saw Stephen being so invested in a woman.
For some unknown reason, he felt troubled by this. His best friend was in love with the mother of his child… and that woman also happened to be his old virtual friend with whom he had fallen in love before.
After everything that happened, Nathan didn't know if he still had feelings for Shining Star. He was very confused about his feelings. All this time, he thought he was in love with Monica because she was Shining Star. To clear his mind, he took a bottle of whiskey. He started drinking alone, hoping to forget everything for now. He didn't want to think of anything else.
He was enjoying his glass of whiskey when Jane entered the study room. She folded her arms over her chest and said, "You can't avoid me forever, Nate. Don't run from the truth. Face it."
She sounded a little bit upset as she approached him.
Meanwhile, Nathan simply put down his glass of whisky, narrowing his eyes on her.
"Don't you know how to knock? I want to be alone. Give me some space."
But Jane shook her head vehemently. "No! We need to talk now."
"Talk about what?" Nathan furrowed his eyebrows.
"About us!" Jane promptly responded.
Without further ado, Jane sat on his lap, anchoring her arms around his neck.
Nathan's eyes widened as he didn't expect her to make such a bold move in front of him.
"What the hell are you doing? Get off me!" Nathan hissed at her.
But Jane just smiled at him mischievously, crashing her lips against his. She kissed him forcibly, not allowing him to resist. She used her tongue, urging him to part his lips.
Still surprised by her action, Nathan subconsciously parted his lips, allowing her to explore his mouth. Soon, their tongues danced together as he began responding to her passionate kiss.
Instead of pushing her away, Nathan placed his hands on her back and waist, holding her in place. The kiss lasted for a minute until they broke apart to gasp some air.
Nathan couldn't believe what he did. He let himself be carried away by her as he responded to her with the same eagerness. He looked away, feeling embarrassed.
But Jane wore a triumphant smile. She was slowly breaking the wall that Nathan built between them.
"I'm the one you truly love. Not Monica. I will prove that to you. I will make you feel that I'm the one you want. And I won't give up until you acknowledge your feelings for me." Jane declared to Nathan with a determined look on her face.
Nathan was at a loss for words. He couldn't find the right response to refute her.
Jane was still straddling him on his lap, her hands cupping his face.
"Nate, if you are not yet ready to talk about us, it's okay. I won't force you. But there is something I need from you. Can you do me a favor?" Jane put on an innocent face as she tried to convince Nathan.
Nathan looked annoyed. After kissing him forcibly like that, she shamelessly asked him for a favor. "What do you want?" Nathan put on a cold front, pretending to be mad.
Jane smiled sweetly and responded, "Can you release Black Rose now? She is my friend and you don't have a reason to keep detaining her. I've already proven to you that I'm Ethan's mother. I want my friend back."
Nathan rubbed the space in his eyebrows when he heard that. "Fine. I'll inform the headquarters to release her."
Jane's eyes brightened up when Nathan agreed to release Black Rose. She immediately got off Nathan's lap which made him groan inwardly. Deep inside, he felt a little bit disappointed when Jane left his lap. But he wouldn't admit it in front of her.
"Thanks, Nate. I'm not going to disturb you now." Jane rushed out of his study room, thinking not to offend Nathan further since he already complied with her request.
But Jane was unaware that her departure had made Nathan even more furious and annoyed. He felt as though she had simply used her 'honey-trap move' to get him to fulfill her request.
"Now that she's gotten what she wanted, she left me here because I'm no longer of any use to her," Nathan lamented to himself, glaring at the door through which Jane had disappeared.
Nathan drank his whiskey in one gulp as he slammed his glass on the table to release his frustration. But a few seconds later, he brought his fingers to his face, gently tracing his lips.
The sweet taste of her lips still lingered in his mind. And he couldn't stop his heart from pounding against his chest. Then suddenly he felt the temperature getting hot around him, reverberating through his body.
He grabbed his tie, loosening it, and removed the upper buttons of his shirt.
After a while, Nathan shook his head. 'No way. I think this is just the effect of the alcohol."
He gazed down, noticing the bulge of his hard-on under his pants. He cussed under his breath. He was glad that Jane didn't notice it, otherwise, he would feel more embarrassed.
'Time to take a cold shower!' Nathan muttered to himself.
He was about to leave his study room when Jane returned, catching him off guard.
'Why is she here again?'
Jane moved closer, placing her hands on his chest as she tiptoed. "I can't get enough of you. I want to kiss you again."
Nathan couldn't resist her as Jane captured his lips once again. She bit his lips hard and sucked on them, expressing how much she longed for him. Nathan yielded as she devoured his lips.
'Damn. She is indeed a temptress… I can't ignore… nor resist.' Nathan started to get addicted to her lips.
