Chapter 813 Too Many Sweet Nothings
Juniper felt a jolt of electricity through her body, letting out a soft moan and biting her lip.
Her heart was racing.
Even though they had already been intimate in bed and had kissed, just holding hands made her feel like a young girl experiencing her first crush, nervous and uncontrollable, burning with heat.
Oh god, her heart was beating faster than she could handle.
She was so afraid he could hear her rapid heartbeat.
She didn't dare look at his face, so she couldn't see that Anthony's face was also very red.
He licked his lips, trying hard not to breathe too loudly.
In his mind, he told himself, 'Anthony, stay calm, don't be so nervous in front of a girl. You're a man, you need to be composed.'
Both of them felt like they were falling in love for the first time, with uncontrollable racing hearts and blushing faces, yet not wanting the other to see, so they looked elsewhere, not letting the other see the blush on their faces.
Yet in the dark night, their lips curled up in sweet joy.
Walking on the beach, they strolled along the long stretch of sand, both hoping time would slow down.
They walked until midnight, and Juniper was exhausted.
"Sorry for dragging you this far today," Anthony said apologetically.
"It's okay, I... I actually enjoyed it," Juniper said, pressing her lips together. "Are we there yet?"
"Yeah."
It was so late, but she still felt reluctant.
'Juniper, you can't be infatuated with his looks!' she screamed internally.
"Then I'll head up first."
"Okay."
"Why can't I undo the seatbelt?" Was she too tired? She did feel a bit dizzy.
"Let me." Anthony undid his own seatbelt and leaned over to help her.
"Thanks." Juniper's small mouth opened slightly, her warm breath brushing against Anthony's face. His lower abdomen tightened suddenly, and a wave of heat surged to his head, overwhelming him.
Without thinking, he lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
Juniper, who had been drowsy, suddenly woke up with wide eyes.
He kissed her?
Anthony, such a gentleman, actually did something so impulsive and forceful, she was stunned.
But she didn't resist at all. On the contrary, she kind of liked his dominance, making her feel excited, with electric currents running through her body.
Anthony initially thought he was being abrupt and wanted to pull away after a kiss, but Juniper didn't resist him and closed her eyes.
It was like he got encouragement, kissing her passionately, tenderly yet fervently. Continuously, kissing deeper and deeper.
His fingers threaded through her hair, holding the back of her head.
This was their first time kissing so passionately, without any burden, without any pressure, with only each other in their minds, only this kiss that could melt them both.
The world was spinning, and it seemed like only she was left.
After who knows how long, their lips reluctantly parted.
Juniper panted lightly, her red lips glistening with an incredible sheen from his kiss.
Anthony caressed her face, pressing his forehead against hers, murmuring deeply, "God, you're so sweet, I can never get enough of your sweetness."
At this moment, every word of love could melt Juniper's bones, making her feel like chocolate, melting and losing strength.
"Juniper."
"Yes?" she panted.
"I love you."
This sentence made her tremble all over, looking at him in surprise.
Love?
"Yes, I love you, very much."
Juniper was flustered, her heart racing, feeling soft and numb.
"Actually, I was already attracted to you from the beginning, but at that time, I hadn't completely moved on from my previous relationship, indecisive, always resisting my feelings for you. Until I realized it, you had already given up on me. I was really disappointed then, like losing the most important thing in my life."
"I wanted to get close to you, but you kept pushing me away, and I foolishly used Hera to provoke you. I was such an idiot."
"Sorry, I have no experience in love, didn't know how to get close to the girl I like, didn't know how to win you back, and kept pushing you further away. Luckily, you didn't give up on me, luckily, you kept secretly holding on."
"Luckily, I can kiss you again, that's my luckiest thing."
Juniper's eyes turned red, her throat feeling sore.
'Anthony, I love you too.'
Emotions surged in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud.
"I will definitely win you over."
Juniper smiled through her tears, "Then you have to work harder, I haven't been won over by you yet. Holding hands doesn't mean I'm your girlfriend, and kissing doesn't count either."
"Okay." Anthony smiled.
He knew girls liked the feeling of being pursued by men, and he liked it too. It was making up for his past mistakes with her, and it was a very happy thing for him.
"Then I'll head up first?"
"Yeah." Anthony nodded, "I'll come pick you up tomorrow."
Anthony got out of the car, opened the door for her, and extended his hand.
Juniper gently placed her hand on his, getting out of the car.
He really treated her like a princess.
This feeling was so good.
So happy.
"Good night." Anthony lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
"Good night." Juniper shyly walked away.
That night, for the first time in her life, she experienced the feeling of being so happy she couldn't sleep.
So amazing, to be so happy that she couldn't sleep.
Rolling around in bed, she finally fell asleep around 3 AM.
But when she woke up, she felt refreshed, and looking in the mirror, her complexion was so good it was like she had slept for 12 hours, radiant.
Indeed, love is the best beauty treatment for women, even saving on makeup.
In the mirror, Juniper broke into a bright smile.
From that day on, Anthony happily took on the role of Juniper's driver, picking her up and dropping her off every day, acting as her caretaker, either taking her out for a big meal or cooking for her himself.
In just half a month, he had completely integrated into Juniper's life, becoming a part of it. She enjoyed his presence, sweetened by it.
At night.
Juniper folded her clothes and put them in her suitcase, holding her phone to her ear. "You don't need to pick me up tomorrow, I have a business trip. The company's car will come to get me."
"It's not far, just to the neighboring city, only about an hour's drive, a short trip, I'll be back in three days."
"Really, you don't need to see me off, you have work too. You can't just revolve around me all the time, what about your job?"
"You're more important than work, a thousand times more." Listening to Anthony's pleasant voice on the other end of the line, Juniper chuckled.
"No way, you're the company president, you can't be so irrational."
"Well, I'm feeling the joy of being irrational now, being an irrational president seems pretty nice too."
"Oh my God, if your company hears this, they'll come and beat me up, you know?"
"I won't let that happen, I'll shield you from any danger."
Juniper rolled her eyes with a smile, "You're saying too many sweet things now."
