The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 46

She scooted over, putting some distance between them, I’m still out traveling. Let’s talk about this later, okay?”

Melvin had already plopped down next to Jocelyn. He caught the woman who seemed to be ready to bolt and gave her a dangerous look.

“Okay, so how about giving him your number, and you two can chat for now?” Dalsy was really into this.

“Ha, let’s not bother for now.”

Melvin had moved in close to Jocelyn, his breath on her ear, then suddenly nibbled at her earlobe.

Jocelyn sharply inhaled.

“What’s up?” asked Daisy.

Jocelyn wanted to bolt, but Melvin had already wrapped his arms around her, his hand on her face, gently biting her ear, sending her breathing into disarray.

“It’s nothing. Mom, a colleague is calling me out to hang out. Gotta go, we’ll talk when I’m back. Bye. Jocelyn quickly hung up and tried to push Melvin away

But Melvin wasn’t about to let her go. He pinned her down on the couch, “What was that you said? Thinking about blind dates again, huh?”

Jocelyn was feeling bold now, “My family and friends don’t know about you, so they’re trying to set me up. How could I say no?”

These past few days snuggled up with him felt like bliss, she even wished time would just freeze like this. She was well aware that the happiness she felt was fleeting.

The most important thing was that this happiness was something she had to savor alone, quietly.

“You’re a teacher, can’t you come up with a good excuse? Melvin knew she was doing it on purpose.

“What kind of excuse would stop them from wanting to set me up?” Jocelyn looked at him, “How about you think of one for me?

Melvin’s hand gently caressed her face, his fingertips brushing her lips, “Have you ever thought about saying you’ve got a boyfriend?”

“They’d want to meet him.”

“But the time’s not right for that, is it?”

“How long do we have to date before it’s ‘the right time’?”
