Chapter 958
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"No," Phoebe replied. After sitting firmly in her spot, she said, biting her red lips, "Thank you, Jack. You've saved me so many times. Do you remember saving me from the Norhaven River? And also, when we were in Orthawt, you used your body warmth to save me when I had a fever that night."
Jack remembered these precious memories.
Phoebe gazed into the distance. Her eyes were bright and resolved as she said, "I remember and will never forget them. I once believed you were my guardian angel, but now I know I was wrong.
"From the moment you confessed to Feena at Norhaven River, I realized the truth- you've always been Feena's guardian angel. Jack, promise me you'll take good care of her, okay?"
However, Jack suddenly said, "No!"
His agitated response shocked Phoebe. Her beautiful face flushed slightly. She wasn't sure what had gotten into him.
Jack looked at Phoebe with a burning gaze, and his breathing became heavier.
Phoebe seemed to have sensed something, and her heart started pounding. However, she didn't avert her gaze, as if she was anticipating something.
Jack could feel his grip on reason slowly slipping away. The lady he adored was about to face the pressures of her graduate school entrance examinations. Besides the radio station, there would be fewer chances to be close to her.
So, Jack mustered his courage and inched closer to Phoebe, wanting to do something. Phoebe didn't know what Jack was about to do, but she could guess what might be coming from the look in his eyes.
Her voice shook as she said, "D-Don't come any closer, Jack."
Yet, she didn't move backward because she would have fallen into the lake if she had.
A storm of emotions flickered in her eyes-hesitation, unease, fear, and a glimmer of anticipation. Buried deep beneath it all was a silent trace of encouragement. She stood before. fore him like a vision and with no one else around, the stirrings Jack had
buried rose to the surface.
Suddenly, he reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist. He could even
feel the warmth and softness of her body through the fabric.
After being pulled into Jack's embrace, Phoebe shifted slightly. Her voice was barely more than a whisper as she said, "Jack, don't do this."
However, Phoebe's resistance fanned Jack's desire even more.
Who could really stand firmly by moral principles with a beautiful lady in their arms?
Jack finally lost control of the last ounce of his reasoning. He firmly pulled Phoebe into his embrace. Then, he wildly kissed her indescribably gorgeous lips.
Jack had to admit he was like a beast that had lost control at that moment. However, he knew that only by surrendering to that primal impulse could he ever hope to feach Phoebe. He would have never dared to do so in any ordinary state of mind.
But sometimes, only the wild, animalistic side could obtain one's desired results.
Otherwise, fairy tales would lose their magic.
A frail lady like Phoebe could not stop Jack's aggressive behavior. She could only let him take advantage of her.
Jack was finally kissing the woman of his dreams.
Phoebe always appears so proud and aloof, so independent and untouchable. However, as he kissed her dewy red lips, he could feel her tangible presence. She was finally attainable and no longer seemed out of reach.
Still, Jack only lingered on Phoebe's lips as he failed to pry open her cherry lips. However, that wouldn't stop him.
Phoebe couldn't help but part her lips slightly at Jack's faint touch. He instantly seized the opportunity, leaving her with no choice but to allow things to happen.
