She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 694

His quiet murmur carried a terrifying, undisputed lethality.

But the moment his gaze shifted back to Melanie's sleeping face, that deadly edge melted into a burning, possessive affection.

He knew he wasn't going to get a taste of her tonight.

She was deeply asleep from the alcohol, and he wanted her to get the rest she needed.

Still, the soft flush on her cheeks was an absolute torment to his self-control.

Leaning down, he pressed a lingering kiss against her warm cheek.

The night dragged on, heavy and still.

Just as the darkness hit its peak, the first rays of dawn began to crack the horizon.

The sun was high in the sky by the time Melanie finally opened her eyes.

The very first thing that filled her vision was a massive expanse of bare, sculpted chest.

Still half-asleep and foggy-headed, her immediate instinct was to slide her hand right over that rock-hard muscle.

"Mmm, feels nice..."

Melanie let out a lazy grin, her sleepy eyes fluttering open a fraction wider.

Trailing her gaze up past his impressive pecs, she found herself staring at Preston's face.

Strikingly handsome, with sharp, masculine features that could stop traffic.

Without a second thought, she grabbed his face and planted a kiss right on his lips.

Preston couldn't help but laugh at her bold, sleepy seduction.

With no urgent matters at the office, he had decided to work from home.

He usually woke up long before she did, but today, he wanted to stay in bed until she naturally woke up, just so he'd be the first thing she saw.

However...

He had completely underestimated just how brazenly she'd start playing with fire the second she laid eyes on him.

"Honey, are you still dreaming?"

Hearing his amused tone, Melanie playfully pouted.

"What, a girl can't have a little fun with her man just because she's awake?"

"...Of course she can."

Before she could even blink, Preston flipped them over, pinning her firmly beneath his heavy, muscular frame.
