Gabrielle never knew Jackson was so good at twisting her words into his own. He spoke of such shameless things with ease like he didn't have any moral concerns.

Was it because Gabrielle became stupid?

Or how come could Jackson convince her?

They had sex many times in different locations but not in a crappy wood cabin, and the window was broken. There were so many people outside. It wasn't the problem that Jackson was shameless or not. If they did it, Gabrielle would be too.

For the first time, Gabrielle thought her head was so clear. But thinking was one matter, and the reality was another.

The water splashed on the ground. It smelt dirt after a rain.

Jackson tried to put one leg between Gabrielle's legs, which shocked Gabrielle so much that she stood up. She resisted, saying, "We can't do it here. What about the wounds in your back?"

Jackson said, "I'm not gonna come in. I'll just rub it outside."Both his legs were in the wooden bucket, and the water kept splashing.

Gabrielle could see every part of Jackson's body because he was completely naked. She wouldn't look up at him, but a hot look unceasingly swept all over her.

What Jackson said he wasn't gonna come in wouldn't fool Gabrielle. She wouldn't believe him, no matter what.

Gabrielle pouted, and her lips were rosy to show extreme disbelief and despise. But Jackson took it as a cute invitation.

Jackson held her waist commandingly and took her in his arms. Then he started caressing full breasts with the other hand passionately.

Jackson held Gabrielle to sit in the wood bucket regardless of his broken back. It was so narrow that she had to sit between his legs. Jackson already held a tent, and it allowed Jackson to rub against her butt. It was hot and burning like pulse beating.

Gabrielle got hot and bit her lower lip with embarrassment. She had her back against Jackson and wouldn't know where to look. She couldn't stop thinking, and her thought was a mess.

Gabrielle murmured, "Your back can't touch the water."

Jackson said, "So what? Will I die?"His voice was deep, and the tone was flirtatious.

Gabrielle had no idea he would ask such a dumb question. She played along anyway, "Maybe.

Jackson answered, "I'm obsessed with beauty and am willing to die for them."

Gabrielle said, "How come you're smiling?" Her heart raced and couldn't finish talking. She was terrified others might hear them.

Jackson asked, "We haven't done it in a long time."

Gabrielle suddenly raised her voice, disagreeing, "That can not be true!"She slowly sat down, seeing her voice was raised. She merged her head underneath the water and choked when she breathed.

Jackson got her out of the water and faced her. Seeing she was red in the face, he laughed, saying, "Can you be dumber?"

But that was adorable.

Gabrielle said, "I'm not dumb. You're!" She was already embarrassed, and Jackson couldn't stop laughing. She didn't want to take a bath anymore.

Jackson was still laughing and reached out one hand to pinch her nose.

Gabrielle said, "What are you doing?" Her voice was strangely funny. Gabrielle slapped off his hand so hard. She wondered if taking a bath was only the excuse, and Jackson really wanted to kill her.

Jackson approached, "I'm giving you a minute."Gabrielle was about to push him away when he grabbed her hands. He said, "Less talking while we take a bath."

"And more doing." Afterward, Jackson let go of her nose and kissed her fiercely. It was ferocious and sudden. Gabrielle felt he was giving her air.

After half an hour, the water got cold. Gabrielle had to give it to him because he did nothing but dedicated to kissing her. That was no and.

Gabrielle asked, "Do you like kissing me so much?"

Jackson glared at her, saying, "Men usually kiss for the next step."

Gabrielle asked without thinking, "What do you want to do next?"Then she wanted to bite her tongue off for being repulsive. But it was too late.

Jackson's look got deeper, "I told you I was gonna rub it outside. There is no next move. All I have to do is kiss."

Gabrielle looked at him with admiration. Normally, he would not curb his urge to be an arrogant punk. But he held back the desire just because he said he wouldn't come in.

Jackson tried so hard that his throat hurt. Gabrielle could tell.

Jackson suddenly asked a question, "Is the noodle we ate at noon done by you on purpose?"

Jackson looked into her sympathetic look. The question was irrelevant.

Gabrielle bit her lips and nodded.

Jackson asked, "Why?"

Gabrielle was embarrassed and couldn't look back at Jackson. After a while, she made up her mind, saying, "I want you to be impressed."

Gabrielle stared at her. Gabrielle could tell some emotions were rolling in his look. He grabbed Gabrielle, pat her but, saying, "Clean yourself and get your ass on the bed."

Gabrielle hesitated, "You..." Could Jackson really hold back his urge? But he really suffered, and Gabrielle knew.

Gabrielle thought for a second. Instead of getting out of the bucket, she sat on top of Jackson, hanging her gentle arms around his neck. She lowered her head to bite his lips. Then she said gently, "I want you to come in."

Jackson roared, "Gabby, are you insane!"

Jackson immediately got up and picked her up. Drops of water fell on his masculine body. As Jackson stepped out of the bucket, the water overflew and splashed on the ground.

He was so fast that Gabrielle had no time to respond.

Jackson said, "Don't say I didn't warn you."

Gabrielle didn't say anything. It was the first time she took the initiative that her face was so red from blushing.

Jackson wiped her body in a hurry and put on her on the bed. He put both arms on her sides and said with a deep voice, "Gabrielle, kiss me."

He continued, "If you don't kiss me, I'm gonna kiss you."

Gabrielle pulled off his arms and kissed him!

The wind hit the shove with the sea wave. Avery was on someone's back and looked down at the print he made on the beach.

Avery helped him with his hair, saying, "Are you tired?"

He said, "Do not question the ability of your husband."

Avery put her chin on his broad shoulders and giggled, "I'm sorry you have to spend the night in the village. I know you can't be used to it."

Avery didn't expect that Jackson made the request. She went soft and agreed.

Evan tilted his head and touched her lips. She knew what he was thinking and kissed him on the face. Then she asked, "Does Jackson have to marry Holly?"

Evan said, "The Gibson could make a lot of Jackson's problems go with its political influence. And Jackson's O's Clam could come clean with Gibson's help."

Avery said, "So politician-businessman colluding or police-gang colluding?"

Evan said with a deep voice, "Jackson's family won't do anything unless they can have benefits. And what happened with Charles more or less affects Gabrielle. And..."

Evan didn't know whether to tell Avery Gabrielle was the leak. She called Evan; he was being targeted to save him life. One thing for sure was he wouldn't let any harm come to Gabrielle.

Gabrielle tightened her arms, saying, "How about you? Will Howel's family be affected?"
