?Chapter 1651:


    Jayden stilled. “Why are you asking?”


    “I’m curious what price tages with deploying fighter jets,” she responded pointedly.


    A heavy silence fell between them. After a moment, Jayden took her hand in his, his touch reassuring. “Don’t worry, I’ll make back the money I spent in no time.”


    Elyse’s lips twitched with barely contained emotion. “How much did you give? Just tell me!”


    After a thoughtful pause, Jayden leaned in close, his breath warm against her ear as he whispered the amount.


    Disbelief widened her eyes. The stunned silence stretched for a heartbeat before she grabbed his cor, her voice rising. “That much? Don’t you realize you got swindled?”


    Seizing his chance, Jayden gently eased her back onto the bed, silencing her protests with a kiss that spoke volumes, savoring the warmth of her beneath him.


    When she was breathless, he finally released her, his voice taking on a cating tone. “Don’t be angry. I’ll earn it back soon.”


    “No wonder you stayed silent earlier!” She red at him fiercely. “You were afraid I’d confront you about it, weren’t you?”


    Jayden’s fingers found her lips, pinching them gently. “Alright, let’s not dwell on that anymore. Let’s focus on what we should be doing tonight instead.”


    ???????????????? ?????????????? ???????? g???????????????????????


    Surprise flickered across her features. “What are we doing tonight?”


    Before she could process his meaning, her legs were gently eased apart, his hand exploring with practiced intimacy.


    Heat rushed to her cheeks as she instinctively tried to close her legs, but he held firm. “Do you want to do it again?” she whispered, breathless.


    “Of course, I do.” His voice dropped lower, heavy with desire. “Just enjoy my caress, sweetie.” His kiss silenced any response she might have had, deep and consuming.


    When they finally parted, Elyse’s head spun pleasantly, whatever objection she’d nned lost in the fog of desire as her body responded to his touch.


    With swift efficiency, he sat up and divested her of her pants. A shiver ran through her as cool air hit her newly exposed skin. She nced down just in time to see him tossing aside her underwear.


    A deep blush painted her cheeks crimson.


    “Already blushing?” Jayden teased. “I haven’t even begun yet.”


    “Can’t I be shy?” Elyse whispered, her cheeks painted with a delicate rose hue.


    Jayden lowered himself, enveloping her in his warmth. “Of course you can. Your blush makes you irresistible,” he murmured against her skin. In one fluid motion, he lifted her hips and joined their bodies. A soft whimper escaped her lips, teetering between pleasure and difort, but he captured her sounds with a tender kiss.
