After admiring her for a moment, Marcus enveloped her slender waist from behind, whispering, “Did you switch brands? It looks great. Your skin feels smoother and more delicate than ever."

His words and tone carried a flirtatious undertone.

Additionally, his act of taking Kiana away allowed Melissa to infer his intentions. However, rather than confronting him, she simply turned her head and asked softly, "You seem quite knowledgeable about women's products?"

Marcus replied with a gentle smile, "I have eyes and hands that can see and feel."

With his words, he tenderly caressed her.

Melissa didn't refuse him and just let him do whatever he wanted. As he nearly lost control, she gently reminded him, "You should take a shower first."

Planting a kiss on the nape of her neck, Marcus murmured, "Let's do it once first."

He then retrieved a condom from the bedside drawer.

In no time, he effortlessly aroused Melissa's desire.

She turned around and kissed him passionately, never approaching this matter with indifference. He was her husband, a man she found charming, and she desired him deeply.

After a few days without intimacy, their lovemaking was more intense.

It was nearly midnight when they finished. Melissa nestled against his chest, gently urging him to take a shower.

Marcus kissed her before heading to the bathroom.

When he came out of the bathroom, he found Melissa still awake, leaning against the headboard. The intensity of their lovemaking had left her feeling drained and vulnerable, and her appearance reflected her exhaustion.

Marcus leaned in, questioning softly, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

Melissa lifted her head, whispering softly, “I've arranged tomorrow's flight. It's best we maintain a low profile for the Waston family's funeral."

Marcus nodded in agreement. “Yes, we must avoid drawing attention to ourselves."

He ran his fingers through her silky hair, tilting his head. “Aren't there other matters you wish to discuss?"

Melissa wanted to say something but stopped after a second thought.

Marcus smiled teasingly. "Why the sudden reserve? You weren't shy at all when you were moaning in bed just now."
