Halia and Jackson had left Macau on a whim, plus they had left on serious business, so they had no time to think about preparing for the possibility of an intimate moment like this.
Jackson stared at his fiancee with heated desire. He had waited all day for this moment. It was like spending all day preparing a dessert, only to drop it on the floor in the end. What a shame.
Jackson gently wrapped his arms around Halia and placed a kiss on her forehead. As much as he wanted her, he also respected her. Sure, he was planning to give up his role with Interpol, but Halia was different. She had just joined the SPU not long ago. If he wasn't careful and made her pregnant, then she would have to put her career on hold. He couldn't bear to do something like that to her. At least, not until he officially married her and she was ready to move onto the next stage with him.
"I'll have my dessert another time," he said gently as he resisted his desires.
