frame up his nose .
In just an instant , the raw , intense energy from our heated kiss vanished without a trace , sealed away like it never existed .
He was back to being the cold , restrained Dr.
Clayton .
But somehow , that stark contrast made my heart flutter with secret delight .
After all , who didnt want to pluck the unattainable flower from its pedestal ? Who didnt want to see a man , usually so distant and composed , lose control burn with desire and go absolutely mad over them ? Doubting men , understanding men , becoming men … That saying seemed to be the ultimate truth .
As Jasper and Kimberly approached the car , Jonathan suddenly pulled out a small bag of spicy snacks from who- knows where and handed it to me .
Open this .
Dont eat it .
Just make it look like you did .

Why cant I eat it ? I love these , I muttered .
1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 4 Junk food .
No nutritional value , he added dryly .
Rolling my eyes , I muttered under my breath but still tore open the packaging , ready to eat only for him to snatch it from me and toss it straight into the cars trash bag .
The car door opened , and Kimberly climbed in , immediately glancing back at me .
Kathy , whats wrong with your lips ? she asked .
Keeping a straight face , I pointed at the trash bag .
Ate too much of the spicy snacks .
Got a little swollen from the spice .
Kimberly giggled , covering her mouth , then turned to Jasper .
Jazzy , if we didnt know better , wed think Kathys lips got that swollen from kissing someone ! Jasper glanced at me , his brows faintly furrowed , suspicion flickering in his eyes .
But when his gaze shifted to Jonathans cold , unreadable face , he quickly softened his expression .
Dont talk nonsense , he said lightly .
Kathy has been sitting in the car the whole time .
Who could she possibly be kissing ? Well , you never know .
Who knows what Kathy did after we left ? Kimberly teased .
But before she could say more , Jonathans gaze snapped to her , his voice icy and sharp .
Shes been asleep in the car the whole time .
She woke up five minutes ago .
I can vouch for that .
Kimberly froze , stunned .
John … But he cut her off without hesitation .
The Claytons and the Jensens arent close .
Im not familiar with Ms.
Jensen either .
Her face flushed bright red , her eyes welling up with tears as she turned to Jasper , looking pitiful .
Jasper glanced at Jonathans cold , stern expression , but in the end , he didnt dare say a word .
Kimberly looked utterly humiliated , but there was nothing she could do .
After all , the Jensens still needed to cling to the Suttons .
