Chapter 2851 She soon emerged from the bathroom, her face warm and her hair wet.

Then, she found herself enveloped in his embrace.

Marcus held her with one arm, drying her with the other, and then carefully dressed her in the shirt, buttoning it up for her. This was new for her. She was usually the one taking care of him.

She hadn't really dressed him, but she had tied his tie.

Marcus gently lowered his head and ki*sed her chin, playfully remarking, “I never realized you were so petite.” Standing next to him, she barely reached his shoulder, her stature probably not exceeding 5.2 feet.

That morning, as he held her beneath him, she seemed to sink into the softness of the bed, light as a feather.

(Eagles) ‘s (Eagles) A flicker of desire crossed Marcus’ eyes, but he refrained from pursuing it further.

Instead, he led her to the dining room, where a lot of food awaited, including even a bottle of red wine, suggesting a celebratory mood.

Melissa, accustomed to attending to Marcus during meals, gently pushed a plate with tenderly cut steak towards him.

Marcus speared a small piece of steak and offered it to her, saying, “Back then, I was just joking with you, asking you cut my steak and everything. But now everything's out in the open, how could I possibly still be harsh to you?” Her voice low, she responded, “I haven't made up my mind yet." Marcus replied with a smile, “Then, take all the time you need.” Noticing the box of antipyretics, Melissa softly asked if he needed one. After a brief pause and a smile, he declined. With her presence, he felt no need for medicine.

He caressed her head, stating, “This afternoon, I'll have Sylvia arrange Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

your resignation. Please, stay with me.” Marcus planned to take Melissa back to Duefron.

However, spending a few more days in Warsew also seemed appealing, a brief respite from his father’s constant reminders and the distractions of everyday Life.

Melissa raised her eyes to meet his gaze.

Marcus, wearing a smile, said earnestly, “I mean it” He p

Chapter 2852 “Then what?" Ignoring his question, she continued eating her steak in small bites.

She had to be quite hungry, finishing a whole serving of steak and even a bowl of soup.

Pointing to the last carrot on her plate, Marcus remarked, “You shouldn't leave that behind.” Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked up.

He had teased her again.

He had promised not to.

His expression softened slightly, and he spoke in a more gentle tone, almost coaxing, “If you give me a ki*s, you can skip the carrots.

Eagles.

And if you ki*s me every day, I'll make sure you get to eat something else.” Melissa felt overwhelmed.

He... Was he serious about that? Marcus, in Melissa's view, was the epitome of nobility and grace. She couldn't imagine him ever uttering such shameless words, yet he did so with ease. Was he experienced in matters like these? Like someone who could read thoughts, Marcus responded with a laugh.

“I've never been in a relationship before. This is all new to me.” Melissa, feeling a bit shy, didn't press further, but Marcus wasn't ready to let the moment pass. He gently pulled her onto his lap...

Moments later, a subtle spark ignited between them.

Resting against his shoulder, she reminded him, “You haven't finished your meal.” He replied playfully, “'m craving something different now.” With those words, he tenderly held her face and ki*sed her softly, whispering huskily, “Close your eyes and embrace me.” A shiver ran through Melissa.

Though they had been intimate before, it was a whirlwind of passion, not exactly a typical relationship. They had merely shared a fleeting romance. This was the first time they were this close, physically.

She had never experienced anything like it.

With closed eyes, Melissa felt Marcus’ breath on her ear as he murmured, “I didn't get a proper look at you this morning. Let me admire your body, okay?” “No,” Melissa pleaded, clutching her gray shirt tightly, her voice low and urgent.

Chapter 2853 The room was bathed in bright lights, making her feel uncomfortably exposed. She wished they were on the bed instead, even if it meant enduring pain.

But resisting him was futile.

She was Marcus’ first, a fact he took great pride in, especially considering his lack of experience in his younger, more vivacious days.

Marcus wasn't typically interested in exploring a woman's body, but Melissa was an exception.

Despite her cries and his soothing words, he insisted on having his way.

(Eagles) In the lavish suite, their figures were disheveled.

Melissa, her arms wrapped around his neck, whispered urgently, urging him to hasten their encounter. She feared Sylvia's arrival since she had the key card to the suite. The thought of Sylvia catching them filled Melissa with unbearable embarrassment.

Marcus found Melissa's fear amusing.

He wasn't unkind, just fond of teasing her.

The feast on the table was forgotten as Melissa lay on the dark green tablecloth, her delicate form contrasting sharply with its rich hue.

Marcus ki*sed her gently, his voice a comforting murmur. “Don’t worry.

I just want to see.” Melissa's tears flowed freely. She knew Marcus wasn't perfect, and his request bothered her, yet she couldn't help but still feel drawn to him. She berated herself, feeling inadequate. In those moments of embarrassment, her tears would break through as she exclaimed, “I can't do this with you anymore. Marcus, you jerk. You pervert.
