Chapter 45 Lustfully*

• Jackson’s ears perked up at the sound of knocking. His pulse quickened as he moved to the door, anticipation coiling in his chest. When he pulled it open, a stunning figure stood before him. Her chest rose and fell with heavy breaths, her uncertainty written all over her face. Even in the dim light, the way she hesitated, the way her fingers twitched, made it clear—she was still unsure whether to accept his offer or turn away.
• But Jackson didn't care about her hesitation. She had come to his door. That alone was answer enough. Without a second thought, he extended his arms to pull her inside.
• Before he could reach her, she jerked back clumsily, almost stumbling over her own feet.
