Neither of them said a word for quite a while. Finally, she came to her senses and snorted, "There, satisfied? Now, let me go!"

Instead of complying, Marcus planted his palm on the wall beside her head.

Then, he lowered his gaze, and kissed the back of Melissa's ear gently. His voice was so hoarse and sexy when he whispered, “Satisfied? Are you seriously asking me that? Just look down and you'll get your answer."

"I don't care! Get off of me!"

Melissa stopped him from taking things any further and shouted, “Get out of my way! I'm leaving."

Only then did Marcus let go of her, but just as she was about to open the door, he suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered, "Since we're both already drenched, why not take a shower with me?"

Before Melissa could say protest, Marcus pulled her back into the shower enclosure.

If they didn't have a child together, and if they weren't both single right now... What a rogue!

Marcus cranked the shower to full blast.

The warm water washed over their bodies, blurring their visions.

Marcus didn't do anything else, but Melissa could feel her body temperature rising and her legs going weak... In the end, Marcus had to carry her out of the shower enclosure and drape a bathrobe around her.

She was so lost in her daze that he had to lend her a hand in putting on her clothes.

Marcus helped her slip on a night dress.

With a meaningful look, he said in a low voice, “You seem to have lost a lot of weight post childbirth.”

Truth be told, the two were intimate for only a few times back when they were still a couple.

But over the past three years, Marcus couldn't stop thinking about Melissa, as though she had left an indelible mark on his heart.

Even when he was with other women, he never felt attracted to any of them-including Violette, the woman he was supposed to marry.

However, whenever he was with Melissa, a primal desire would take hold of him.

Fortunately for Melissa, Marcus was keenly aware that this wasn't the right time to strike. After all, their son was still in the next room, so it wasn't appropriate for them to do anything steamy.

Besides, Melissa was rather resistant.
