Chapter 24 Something Dropped
Melissa was stunned. She had to admit that this man was indeed handsome, even more, charming than the Greek God. His body was lean and muscular. How could a man have such chiseled bodies?
Is he on steroids? She started to imagine moaning under him, …what? Stop!
“Have you seen enough?” Murray asked when Melissa stared at him like a hungry wolf.
His words brought her mind back. Melissa jumped out of his cuddle. Still a little breathless, she flushed. “How can you walk without any noise? Put on your clothes.”
Buttoning up, Murray scoffed at Melissa. “I think you bumped into me, injuring my jaw.”
It was clearly Melissa had bumped into him, yet Melissa complained about him in reverse.
“I’m going to take a shower.” Melissa was flustered. She took the clothes and walked to the bathroom.
Melissa thought, What is Murray doing? I am still here. How could he only wear a robe?
Squinting at Melissa’s back, Murray’s eyes were deep and serene. Out of his expectation, Melissa seemed to be awkward with the romance thing. Interesting…
The water ran down from her head to toe, Melissa was lost in thoughts when hearing knocks on the door.
“Who’s there?” Melissa’s heart was suddenly clenched.
At this time, Murray was the only one in the room. Why did he knock on the bathroom door? What did he want to do?
Murray’s voice came through the bathroom door. “It’s me.”
“What do you want? I’m taking a shower,” Melissa asked.
“You left something important outside.” Murray seemed to be serious.
“What?” Melissa turned off the tap and wrapped herself in a bath towel.
Murray must have done it on purpose! She didn’t think she had left anything. Even if she did, he could wait for her to go out.
What tricks is he playing now? Maybe he is a peeping maniac? Thousands of thoughts popped into Melissa’s brain. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Frowning, she made up her mind if Murray was up to doing something bad to her, she would not be polite. She was not to be trifled with!
“Check yourself and see what you have dropped.” Murray looked down at the thing in his hand and reminded her.
Melissa was confused. She looked around and found that her underwear was gone!
Oh, gosh!
It must have dropped outside.
Murray picked it up?
This was so embarrassed…
Melissa flushed. She walked to the door, opened a small gap, and poked her head out. “Well, I accidentally dropped it. Give it to me.”
The orange light cast on her face. Her skin that had just been steamed was like a peeled egg, white and tender, with beautiful dazzling blush.
Some inexplicable meaning appeared in Murray’s eyes. He handed it over and said, “Be careful, don’t drop it again.”
“Thanks!” Melissa took it, with her fingers slipping over his warm palm.
The scorching heat in his palm came over, and Melissa’s face became hot immediately. She closed the door quickly.
Her heart was beating quickly. So embarrassing!
If she had known that it would be so awkward, she wouldn’t come to the Gibson family.
Melissa took a few deep breaths to drive away the inexplicable nervousness in her heart.
After taking the shower, Melissa came out.
Murray was sitting on the sofa. His long legs were casually crossed. His hands were holding a financial magazine, and his eyes narrowed slightly when he read the magazine.
“Do you want to sleep?” Melissa walked to Murray. She choked for a second. She lost her mind tonight. She picked the wrong words!
“Are you inviting me?” Murray raised his head.
Melissa couldn’t help to whine inwardly. Murray definitely understood what she meant. He asked it on purpose. Such a cunning man! She just wanted to sleep. But why did it become so awkward… Everything lost control tonight!
“Murray!” Melissa said seriously, “Please don’t be so narcissistic. Our engagement is just a contract. It will be canceled in three months. Don’t joke like this!”
Was he narcissistic? This was the first time that a woman dared to say that to him. Murray’s good mood disappeared.
Closing the magazine, he stood up and took three large steps forward. Stopping a few inches before Melissa, he tilted his head to look down at her.
He lifted his hand and tucked her hair behind her ear. His lips formed a smirk. He leaned forward abruptly and slammed his lips on her earlobe, his breath sending shivers down to her body. Holding her waist tightly, he kissed down her earlobe to her collarbone, hot and full of lust. She couldn’t help to moan. Her knees buckled due to the unexpected desire coursing through her body.
Wait, wait, that’s not right. Not until she pushed him away, his hands let go of her waist.
“Melissa, your body has a reaction to me?”
