Returning to the bedside, she poised to speak, only to have her wrist seized and drawn toward him. Their bodies collided, and she caught a stifled groan, sensing his difort.


    Jessie quickly withdrew. Albert, youre out of your mind.


    Locking eyes with her, Albert uttered in a hushed tone, Jessie,e back ‘tome.


    After nightfall, Melissa made her way home, steering her car down familiar streets.


    Upon arrival, she found most lights extinguished within the vi, save for alone glow emanating from the hall. There, bathed in the soft yellow hue, Marcus lounged in his pajamas, Laptop perched upon hisp. The bluish glow of the screen cast angr shadows across his handsome features, entuating his allure.


    Pausing to change her shoes, Melissa couldnt help but admire his handsome figure.


    At the sound of the opening door, Marcus shut hisptop and inquired


    with a soft tone, Hows Mr. Waston? Why thete return? Matthew and Kiana are both out asleep.


    Approaching Marcus, Melissa nted a kis on his lips.


    Hows Kiana? she asked.


    Marcus gave her a yful pat on the rear. Good to know you still care about our child. I figured you were all wrapped up in your career, neglecting your husband and family.


    Melissa indulged him, nestling into his embrace and whispered against his lips, Dont I know the way home? Having neglected Marcustely, Melissa sought to make amends. She initiated a kis, her lips trailing to his chin, her hands wandering beneath his clothes.


    Marcus expression shifted instantly, his voice trembling. Mrs. Fowler, are you sure about this? Here? Melissa chuckled. Anyone likely to walk in on us? As Marcus hastily unbuttoned her shirt, he assured her, Nope. The household staff are all sensible.


    As night deepened, the couple, starved for intimacy after a weeks hiatus, sumbed to passion multiple times, the clock striking well past midnight by the time they finished.


    Melissa drifted into a brief nap, awakening to find herself cocooned under a nket, nestled in Marcus embrace.


    With unwavering focus, Marcus remained engrossed in hisptop, his demeanor stoic as ever. It was a stark contrast to his earlier passionate demeanor.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Quietly rising, Melissa queried, Why didnt you wake me? Setting aside hisptop, Marcus smoothed her tousled hair and grinned.


    You seem exhausted, so I thought Id let you catch some rest downstairs.


    Melissa hesitated, wanting to tidy up the sofa, but Marcus, aware of her


    sensitivity, had already tidied it and discreetly disposed of theused tissue.


    Gently caressing her delicate face, he remarked, Youve birthed two kids.


    Why still so bashful? Its normal for couples to indulge in a little Living room rendezvous now and then. The staff understand.


    Melissa shot him a look. This isnt the bedroom. Not everyones as audacious as you.


    In retort, Marcus quipped, You seemed quite pleased just now. Why the sudden modesty?Arent you worried about the servants catching you in the act?
