"I thought you must be exhausted from last night," Marcus replied slowly.

Melissa found herself at a loss for words.

"I've informed your assistant. You won't need to head to the office until afternoon," Marcus added in a soft voice.

Melissa paused to look at Marcus, and then lay back. Her gaze fixed on the ceiling and she showed no interest in leaving the bed. She was indeed feeling the aftereffects of their night together. She felt so sore.

Marcus entered and took a seat next to her. He gently pulled the blanket off Melissa's face and said softly, "It's important to have breakfast, even if you're not working this morning. Later, we will go to your apartment to bring your things here. This place has plenty of room and is very comfortable, and you know how much Matthew enjoys being here."
