Chapter 90

Melvin had not eased up on Jocelyn. Their dance continued in the living room, silhouetted against the grand French window that framed the night sky.

Under the moonlight, their shadows mingled, rising and falling in a dance that never seemed to end..

Exhaustion lulled Jocelyn into sleep.

When she awoke, sunlight was blazing through the curtains.

The familiar view brought her a sense of calm as she attempted to rise, only to feel Melvin’s arm snaking around her waist, pulling her back down.

“Isn’t this enough?” Jocelyn’s voice was hardly recognizable, hushed and hoarse.

A warm breath tickled her ear, sending shivers down her spine. “Not even close,” Melvin whispered against her skin

Jocelyn stiffened, her fingers curling into fists. “Aren’t you afraid Willow will find out?”

“It’s none of her business, Mel murmured as he kissed her shoulder “Tll do whatever as | please.”

Jocelyn couldn’t understand why she had fallen for such a cad, always taking and never thinking of giving anything back.

She fell silent, letting him have his way.

His hands roamed her waist, brushing her belly, where she tensed.

Suddenly, the buzzing of a phone shattered the silence.

As the urgent ringtone continued, Jocelyn relaxed slightly.

at the caller’s name, he answered, “Yeah, I’m home… can’t talk now… check with Zephyr Bye.” Hanging up, he turned to find Jocelyn already wrapped in a towel, stepping out of bed.

“Where are you going?” he asked.

Without looking back, Jocelyn replied, “Home.”
