Glancing at Melissa, he found her smiling as she unwrapped the gifts.
Feeling playful, Marcus sat up and snuck behind her, resting his chin on her slender shoulder. You did that on purpose, didnt you? he teased.
Melissa scoffed. Mr. Fowler, youre overthinking things.
Marcus softly touched her waist. You naughty little girl!
She chuckled, turning to kis him. Hush. Let me finish these first.
Marcus tried his luck. Four times. And not a single time less.
He expected rejection but her answer surprised him. Fine. Im skipping work tomorrow anyway.
Whispering in her ear, Marcus shamelessly remarked, Baby, why do I get the feeling youve been extra naughty lately? Youre insatiable.
Who else can satisfy you like I can?
She leaned against him, feeling at ease.

She chuckled. Youre not too shabby yourself. Your dirty talk is top-notch. I dig it.
I appreciate your honesty.
The conversation flowed effortlessly between them.

Meanwhile, Melissa unwrapped Shawns gift.
Inside were a pair of watches.
They mustve cost a fortune.
Frowning, Melissa turned to Marcus. How can Shawn afford something like this? Last I checked, he was still a truck driver. Wheres this cash coming from? Is he back to his old ways?
Marcus casually touched his nose at the mention of Shawn. Ah, hes been doing well lately. I tossed him a loan and helped him open a dealership.
Melissa probed, How much did you lend him?
Marcus grinned. What, are you checking the books now, Mrs. Fowler?
But he knew he couldnt dodge this conversation. Twenty million in total. Hes making moves and has promised to pay me back within two years.
Pointing at the watches, Melissa sighed. Even if hes raking it in, hes not saving. This splurge screams lack of discipline. Marcus, youve spoiled him rotten.
Marcus chuckled with even more delight. He reached out to touch her, teasing her with a husky, seductive tone, Youre making it sound like hes my side piece. How could I handle a big, tough guy Like that? I much prefer a soft, gentle woman like you. Youre perfect no matter how I mold you.
Feeling his touch, she breathed out, Just hold on. Let me finish these first.
