Sensing a faint aura of hostility emanating from Jaden, Jenny blushed slightly and said in a soft voice, "I understand. I'll handle it as soon as possible. You look so stern, but you seemed like such a good man just now…"
Her words left Jaden stunned. He hadn't expected his offhand comment to be interpreted as manly behavior. But it worked to his advantage - if it made Jenny more infatuated with him, completing the task Luna assigned would become much easier.
With Sherry present in the restaurant, Jaden and Jenny's dinner was more restrained. To avoid attracting her attention, the two barely ate before wrapping things up quickly.
"It's still early. What should we do now? We're leaving tomorrow, and it feels like we haven't had much fun yet," Jenny remarked, clutching Jaden's arm as they strolled along a tree-lined path.
The surroundings were lush with greenery, dotted with elegant sculptures and vibrant flowers - an ideal spot for couples to take a walk.
After dinner, a few scattered pairs strolled through the area. While it wasn't crowded, there was enough space for everyone to enjoy themselves.
"What do you feel like doing? I'll join you for anything," Jaden replied with a smile.
"There's nothing particular, but having you with me is enough," Jenny said, her face radiating happiness.
Suddenly, a soft, suppressed murmur seemed to come from nearby.
The two exchanged a glance, both realizing what it might be.
Jaden's expression turned serious, while Jenny's eyes darted mischievously. She tugged at his sleeve, signaling for him to follow her.
After a brief hesitation, Jaden complied, trailing Jenny behind a massive evergreen tree.
The suppressed sound grew clearer. Peeking out, they spotted a couple sitting on a stone bench partially concealed by the foliage.
The man and woman were engrossed in a passionate embrace. The woman tilted her neck back slightly, her eyes closed, a look of enjoyment on her face.
The man's face was buried in her neck, his hands wandering boldly over her body.
They seemed utterly oblivious to their surroundings - or perhaps too absorbed to care.
Though the man's back was to them, making his features indiscernible, the woman's beauty was apparent. While not as striking as Jenny, her figure was comparable.
Perhaps finding her clothing a hindrance, the man gently lifted the woman's top, revealing a swath of fair skin - a sight that left the peeking Jaden with quite the visual feast.
As the man's hand began to venture under the woman's skirt, it became apparent that things were escalating rapidly.
Jaden's face reddened slightly. Though he had no intention of watching, the scene stirred certain primal instincts within him.
Turning to Jenny, he noticed her leaning forward slightly, her posture highlighting the elegant curve of her back. Almost instinctively, Jaden placed his hand on her waist.
Jenny turned at his touch, her cheeks flushed. She bit her lip gently, her moist eyes brimming with desire as she gazed at Jaden. Her body leaned closer, as though drawn to him.
Tilting her head up slightly, she closed her eyes shyly, appearing to invite his kiss.
Jaden glanced around nervously. The idea of getting intimate in public left him feeling uneasy. Although the area wasn't crowded, there were still occasional passersby.
"Let's go. Not here," Jaden said, pulling Jenny away.
Jenny's face turned a deeper shade of red, but she obediently let Jaden lead her out of the shadowy grove. After walking a short distance, they found a quieter spot.
With no one around, Jenny suddenly wrapped her arms around Jaden's neck, laughing as she teased, "What did you think of the show we just saw?"
"I didn't feel anything… I don't like that sort of thing," Jaden replied earnestly.
"Liar. I could feel your hand on me just now. So? Were you tempted?" Jenny asked playfully, her eyes seductive as she pressed closer.
Jaden could distinctly feel the soft pressure against his chest.
"Wanting is just a natural reaction for a man, but this isn't the place for it," Jaden muttered, his gaze averting as her boldness left him flustered.
"I thought men didn't care where they were, as long as the mood struck. Isn't it more thrilling this way?" Jenny murmured, biting her lip.
"Maybe for others, but I'm not like that…" Jaden shook his head.
"Then, do you want me or not?" Jenny smiled like an alluring enchantress.
"Well… I…" Jaden hesitated. How could he not want her? Jenny was a attractive woman - any normal man would feel a primal urge to possess her.
But some men could restrain themselves, while others could not.
Seeing her enticing expression, Jaden wrestled with his thoughts before finding an excuse to decline. "It wouldn't be right. I think if I were to be with a woman, I'd want to take responsibility. So… I don't want to rush. I'd rather be sure I truly love you before we go further."
"You really are a good man," Jenny said with admiration, her eyes lighting up. "Men like you are rare in this indulgent world."
"Want to soak in the hot springs again? Or maybe catch a movie? I heard there's a private theater here," Jaden suggested, trying to change the subject.
"Anything's fine. You decide," Jenny replied with a smile, stepping back slightly and no longer teasing him.
Suddenly, Jaden pulled Jenny into his arms without warning, kissing her passionately.
Jenny blinked in surprise, not expecting the sudden change after his earlier refusal. But she didn't resist, returning his embrace and kiss.
Closing her eyes, Jenny savored Jaden's unpracticed kiss. It was clear he lacked experience, merely pressing his lips to hers.
Feeling a surge of affection, Jenny began to guide him, her soft tongue slipping into his mouth.
Jaden's eyes widened in shock - not because he'd changed his mind, but because he had just spotted Sherry walking arm-in-arm with a man in their direction.
Thankfully, the dim lighting obscured their faces unless someone looked closely. Jaden had recognized her from her outfit and their prior familiarity.
With the pair too close for a discreet escape, Jaden had instinctively kissed Jenny to conceal himself.
As footsteps approached, Jaden held Jenny tighter, appearing every bit the passionate lover lost in the moment.
