But after a while, she melted into it and hugged him tight.

His touch thrilled her. After their smooch, she nestled into his embrace.

Marcus lowered his voice and murmured, This meals to cheer you up.

Have you been shedding tears? No.

Youve been crying and still running Alberts errands

Marcus felt for her.

Melissa couldnt bear to hear those teasing words he had for her.

She found an excuse to slip away. Marcus just let her go, watching her back for a long while.

Marcus was onto Weldons scheme.

He also knew the Smith family was gunning for Melissa to take the reins, but she refused.

It was late.

Both Matthew and Yvonne were deep asleep. As Melissa finished her shower and prepared for

bed, she found Marcus lounging on her bed, tousling Matthews hair every now and then.

When Marcus spotted Melissa, his gaze was intense.

Lately, Marcus had been staying over occasionally, mainly to keep Matthew company.

Melissa didnt think Marcus would try anything if they all slept together with their son in the same bed, so she didnt dwell on it.

She quietly snuggled up behind Marcus, wrapping her arms around his waist and murmured, Are you staying here tonight? Marcus took her hand and guided it downward Melissas cheeks flushed red like a ripe apple. She squirmed gently.

Well wake up Matthew.

Marcus pivoted, now face to face with Melissa. His nose almost touching hers, their breaths mingled. His masculine scent enveloped her, sending shivers down her spine.

Locking eyes with her, Marcus murmured, I want this. Melissa, dont you want it too? Melissa was torn.

In hushed tones, Marcus confessed, Seeing you like this makes me want to share a bed every night.

Melissa couldnt handle those words but she sensed his desire. With their relationship blossoming lately, and her being a sensible person, she wanted to fulfill his wishes. So she tenderly wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered, Lets go to your room.

Marcus gaze was intense.

He leaned in, pressing his warm face against hers, enveloping her in his heat.

Melissa trembled involuntarily, her voice almost a whimper, Marcus His lips grazed her neck gently.

He smiled softly.

As Marcus carried Melissa into the adjacent bedroom, her robe was nearly slipping off. He pinned her to the bed and gave in to his desires.

In those moments, her eyes were fixed on him, clear and focused.

Does that feel good? Marcus bit his lip, his face flushed, exuding a magnetic allure.

Melissa couldnt help but be aroused just by looking at him.

It was pushing midnight after their intercourse.

Feeling weary, Melissa headed for a bath. Meanwhile, Marcus lounged against the beds

headboard, puffing on a cigarette. As she entered, he quickly stubbed it out and motioned for her to join him.

Melissa melted into his embrace, her body relaxed.

They lay in silence for a spell, reveling in post-coital closeness.

Eventually, he ran his fingers through her soft locks and murmured, My old man called this afternoon, asking when Id pop the question.

Marcus grinned, adding, He thinks Im dragging my feet and that Im useless.

Melissa lifted her head, softly querying, Do you want to tie the knot? But I havent saved up enough for a fancy wedding.

Marcus smirked. Isnt Matthew your dowry? Blushing, Melissa pinched his side, earning a wince. He teased, Are you ready for another round? Melissa sighed, Most guys arent like you, Marcus. Have you got extra stamina?

He rolled over, planting a kis. Breathless, he asked, Have you been with anyone else? Of course, Melissa had not.

She traced his features, brushing aside his tousled hair, teasing, Im kind of curious to find out.

Instead of getting mad, Marcus chuckled.

He whispered in her ear, You dirty little slut.

Melissas eyes sparkled.

Marcus sensed her excitement. He tossed the quilt aside and initiated another round. Does it get you going when I talk dirty? Do you want me to make you feel good every day? Do you want me to fek you all the time? She turned away, mumbling, Quit it.

Ignoring her protest, Marcus kised her, continuing to say things that made her blush. You say you dont want it, but your actions speak otherwise. Youre getting turned on again, arent you? Maybe guys liked this approach. This time, Marcus was rougher.

Eventually, Melissa grew drowsy in his arms, not even bothering to clean herself up.

She gave his shoulder a pat. Go sleep with Matthew. He kicks off the covers and we dont want him to catch a cold.

Marcus scooped Melissa up and carried her to the master bedroom.

As she drifted off, a cool object slipped onto her finger.

She woke up, inspecting her hand.

It was a diamond ring.

Marcus embraced her from behind. His voice was husky as he said, Lets tie the knot, alright? How could Melissa refuse him?

Feeling shy, she melted into his arms. Marcus spoke gently.
