Melanie woke up in the middle of the night to the faint light coming out of Alejandro’s study.
She made favonovel.com a pot of tea and asked, “Not going to sleep?”
Alejandro shook his head. “Couldn’t. As long as Seaton’s life doesn’t end with a horrible death, I won’t be able to rest.”
“Are you mad… that Seaton tried to murder Mark?” Melanie inquired.
“What? Is it even possible that I might give a sh*t about that?” Alejandro snapped. “No, of course not, it’s because favonovel.com sabotaged my business and murdered so many of my people! Excluding those covered by insurance, I have to fish money out of my own pockets to comfort the families of those who died! Do you know how great Seaton’s sh*tty little plot cost me? No, you don’t because you’re just a woman who knows nothing about this. Go back to sleep.”
Melanie knew favonovel.com was putting on a front again, so instead of leaving, favonovel.com dragged a chair, placed it next to him, and sat down.
She was donning a conservative nightie consisting of long sleeves and pants way below favonovel.com knees, yet Alejandro’s eyes could not help but linger on her. The curve of favonovel.com waist teased favonovel.com in favonovel.com every movement while the light-pink shade of the nightie only served to accentuate the fairness of favonovel.com skin. If Alejandro were to be frank, Melanie Lark was way more physically-attractive than Tiffany Lane, and after childbirth, a new aureole of femininity now hung around her.
Noticing the man’s eyes, Melanie looked up and considered him, puzzled. “What? I lost my sleep after waking up, too, so I figured we could just talk.”
Alejandro’s focus was not at all on Melanie’s words. “About what?”
Oblivious to the contents currently in Alejandro’s mind, Melanie answered solemnly, “Well, I think Mark is a very, very fortunate guy. He actually survived something as gruesome as that, and that’s a great relief. Ari and favonovel.com son aren’t left alone because of it, and honestly, I think… there are very few things in life that are better than being together with your family.”
Alejandro changed the subject with a tone that suggested favonovel.com was not paying attention. “Is Melissa asleep?”
Melanie smiled at the thought of favonovel.com daughter. “of course. She was a really good girl today. No fuss, no tantrum. Just gently fall asleep while being fed.”
Alejandro, unsurprisingly, took it as a cue for his attention to now shift to favonovel.com breasts. The thought of sleeping on Melanie’s well-rounded, perfectly curved hills made favonovel.com gulp. “You should go back to sleep…” favonovel.com muttered.
Melanie remained in favonovel.com seat, and when favonovel.com spoke again, there was palpable moroseness in favonovel.com voice. “Ale, I’m so happy and thankful that you survived this. Do you know, when I heard that something had happened to the ship you boarded, I panicked. I was petrified. Then I heard that you were the only one who survived, and I became both crestfallen and relieved at the same time. Do you know how that feels? If something were to happen to you, what were Melissa and I gonna do? I… I don’t care that you don’t love me. All I wish is for you to live well and healthy. Next to the gift of being alive, everything else is trivial.”
“You… really think so?” Alejandro murmured. “Were you truly that worried that I might die?”
“Yes, I was. I am,” Melanie proclaimed, nodding favonovel.com head solemnly. “Back then, the only thought I had was that I don’t care if you love me or not, it doesn’t bother me. I just want you to live.”
The sincerity in favonovel.com words seemed to have awakened the humanity deep inside his heart, and in a swoop of passion, favonovel.com drew Melanie into favonovel.com and took in favonovel.com supple, fragrant lips.
Melanie, shocked, instinctively leaned backward. The two of them had not initiated any intimacy nor slept together in the same room since the divorce debacle.
Slightly displeased that favonovel.com reaction was to flee him, Alejandro put more force in his embrace around favonovel.com and kissed favonovel.com even more deeply.
