Mission XX: Seducing The Great Seducer

"Let go of me Ice Prince," Jasmine ordered sternly. Her authoritative voice woke Jackson from his slumber into the harsh reality.

"Drop me down, Jackson," Jasmine said once again when Jackson refused to let go of her. After her second command, he gently drops his hands down.

Jasmine instantly came down from his body after he had successfully let go of her.

On lowering her gaze Jasmine was stunned to see that her breasts were visible as a result of the running shower that poured on them earlier.

"Damn it," Jasmine cursed loudly as she covered her exposed breasts with her hands. She raised her gaze and shot Jackson a fierce glance.

"Haven't I told you that we can't kiss ever again so why did you let this happen? You have always treated me coldly so why didn't you stop even though I had initiated the kiss?" Jasmine shamelessly put all the blame on Jackson.

"The one without feelings should have done that," Jackson blurted out his gaze focused on her face.

"What do your words mean?" Jasmine asked curiously forgetting the state she was in.

"If you are searching for your bra, they are just lying on the floor," Jackson said just to evade her questions.

"You...," Speechless Jasmine pointed her index finger at him forgetting that she was covering her exposed breasts with her hands.

"My subconscious state must be crazy to be attracted to a devil-like him. Starting from today, I better keep my distance away from him," Jasmine mumbled as she deliberately bumped into him. She bent and pick her bra before she dashes out of the bathroom.

"Now it is your subconscious state which is attracted to me but soon I will make sure it is your conscious state," Jackson said as he continues staring at the door.

Just when he was about to enter the shower and conclude his bathing, Jasmine phone rang. He approached where the phone was lying. The instant he saw who the caller was, the already angry Jackson frowned. He carried the phone and answer the line.

"Hello Jasmine, are you ready for our date? I want to know whether I can pick you up now," Kai said at the other side of the line.

"Jasmine are you there?" Kai asked in a worried tone when there was no response from the other side.

"It's not Jasmine," Jackson said in a cold tone.

"Jackson why are you with Jasmine's phone...,"

"Because she is sleeping in my arms after the rigorous workout," Jackson replied angrily.

"What?" Kai asked standing up from the couch he was sitting on. He forgot that his mum was sitting right in front of him.

"Jackson, stop kidding around...,"

"How do you know that I am joking when you are not here to witness how mellowed....,"

"Jackson!" Kai shouted in a reprimanding tone. His mum sitting there stares at him curiously. She could not wait for him to disconnect the call so that she could question him.

"Your loud voice is gonna wake her up so talk softly. She says you rarely get mad, are you not afraid that your cold voice is gonna startle her?" Jackson said before he disconnected the call.

Kai at the other end tightened his fist when he realised that Jackson has hung up the call on him.

"He is such a cheap guy," Kai mumbled with gritted teeth.

"Kai, why are you angry? What is wrong with Jasmine?" Mrs Allen asked curiously?

"Nothing," Kai said coldly as he turned to leave.

"I thought you were talking to Jasmine so why did you call Jackson's name...,"

"You must have heard wrongly," Kai said as he headed towards the stairs. Mrs Allen watched him until he disappeared.

"He said it was nothing but why do I have this feeling that the issue is more serious than he said?" Mrs Allen thought as she stares at the grey walls.

Back to Jackson's mansion. After he finished bathing he went back into his bedroom. He was so relieved when he realised that Jasmine was not in his room.

After Jackson dressed up and did all the necessary things, he went downstairs to join Jasmine. When he reached the dining room, he met her arranging the dishes on the table. He stood at the door and watch the lady who was oblivious of his presence.

Lillian who was also in the dining room on sighting Jackson standing at the door wanted to greet him but Jackson put his index finger on his lips as a signal for her to shut up.

"She isn't my wife and she acts this way. I am certain she will spoil me rotten when she eventually become my wife," Jackson said beaming. He continues standing there for a few minutes.

"What are you standing there staring at?" Jasmine who raised her gaze to stare at the entrance and saw Jackson staring at her keenly asked curiously.

"Nothing," Jackson replied as he walks into his room. He sat down at the master's seat. Jasmine also sat down.

Jackson turned and glare daggers at Lilian when he realised that she was still standing there staring at them.

"Young Miss says we were neglecting you....,"

"And standing there watching us is your way of taking care of me?" Jackson asked coldly.

"I... I...,"

"Lilian, you can leave. I will take care of your boss," Jasmine said when she saw the murderous glances Jackson was directing at Lilian.

"Thank you Young Miss, you are the best," Lilian said beaming before she left the dining room.

"Why are you always making things hard for your maids...,"

"Aren't you gonna eat?" Jackson who knew that she wanted to scold him asks just to divert her attention away from what she wanted to say.

"Whichever lady is gonna end up marrying you has a lot of work to do on you. You are just too stubborn...,"

"Just as stubborn as you are?" Jackson interrupted her abruptly.

"I won't argue with you again," Jasmine said before she concentrated her attention on the food.

Jackson stares at her as she eats. He forgot to even pick the cutlery in case she raise her gaze and caught him staring at her.

About five minutes later Jasmine raised her gaze when she felt a gaze directed at her. She was surprised when she realised that Jackson hasn't even picked his cutlery not to mention taking a bite from the variety of dishes lying on the table.

"What is wrong with you? Why haven't you eaten? Don't tell me you don't have an appetite?" Jasmine questioned in a serious tone as she dropped her cutlery on the plate.

"My hand hurts a lot. I can barely do anything with it," Jackson said as he displaced his injured palm for her to see.

"Damn, your wound has worsened," Jasmine said as she stood up and went to his side.

"Why has it become like this and why didn't you say anything until now? How about I drive you to the hospital so that the doctors can have a look at it?" Jasmine holding his right hand said looking very concerned.

"I am fine," Jackson said as he forces a smile on.

"Why are you so stupid? Why did you have to use your hands to block the dagger that night? You could have just let him stab me, I am sure I wouldn't have died from the stab. What were you thinking?" Jasmine asked still holding onto his hands.

"I said I am fine so why are you acting this way?" Jackson said as he raised his hand and touch her face.

"I hate feeling this way. I hate the feeling of seeing you in pain. You are suffering just because of me," Jasmine said sincerely. From her expression, he could see that she was genuinely concern about him.

"Jasmine, look at me, I am fine. In a few days, the injury will be gone so stop feeling guilty hmm?" Jackson tried to assure the worried lady.

"Ok, if you say so but promise me not to put your hands in water," Jasmine said as she stares at him for answers.

"How am I gonna shower without using my hands...,"

"I will make sure that the guys are with you at all times so you won't have to make use of your hands often," Jasmine proposed.

"Jasmine, you want the guys to bathe with me? Sorry but I will reject your goodwill," Jackson said as he removes his hand from her face.

"It will be for a few days...,"

"Let's eat, the food is gonna get cold," Jackson said not wanting to talk about the topic anymore.

Only he knew how naughty those two friends of his are. He hasn't taken a bath with them for a long time now and they tease him every day, he won't have a moment of rest if he dares take a bath with them for a day.

"What is the big deal about guys taking a bath together, would you rather take a bath with me instead of with your friends?" Jasmine asked before she turned to drag one of the chairs closer.
