“Who knows, maybe you’ll be the one wanting to get hitched first,” Jocelyn said teasingly, her eyes brimming with spring and her face as lovely as a peach blossom.

Melvin really had a thing for her seductive charm, always able to snag his soul.

He toyed with her sensitive spot, watching the mistiness in her eyes, his throat working. “I’m never getting married in this lifetime. Swapping out women, now that’s a possibility.”
