Chapter 40

Fresh out of the shower, Jocelyn spotted the study door ajar. Deciding not to butt in, she strolled out to the balcony alone.

The afternoon was still a bit rnuggy, but there was no direct sun here. A breeze made it quite tempting to just laze around and snooze

Leaning on the railing, she gazed at the river, with the bustling central business district right across from her.

The two rivers merged here. Although the lights on the boats weren’t on yet, there were already loads of tourists waiting

at the dock

After all these years, she hadn’t checked out those famous scenic spots that topped the online charts, even though she was a local.

If it wasn’t for riding on Melvin’s coattails, she wouldn’t have had the chance to soak in such a killer view

Melvin wrapped his arms around her from behind, pressing her against a warm chest. Without turning her head, Jocelyn asked, “All done?”

“Mhm, Melvin’s chin rested on top of her head, “You smell nice.”

Jocelyn’s lips curved into a smile.

Melvin then floated the idea, “Feel like hitting up the boat?”

“It’s hot.”

“We’ll wait till it cools off at night.

He wasn’t begging and just waiting for a desirable answer.

Jocelyn cleared her throat, “What if one of your buddies sees us?”

“No friends coming over.”

Jocelyn snorted, “Last time didn’t someone crash at your place? Which bed did they pass out on?

Melvin knew she was digging up old dirt, “That was an accident.”
