The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

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.

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.

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.”
