Betrayed By Husband, Stolen By Brother In Law-Chapter 261: What Are You Doing

"I missed you," Adam had said as he slipped his arms around Melanie from behind while she stood standing at the sink, washing the dishes.

"You missed me because we were apart for a few hours?" Melanie asked, not turning around, though a soft smile had played at the corners of her mouth. She had a surprise for him tonight.

"I miss you every minute when you are not with me," Adam whispered in her ear as he reached around to take the plate from her hands, drying it with a towel, his hands still around her.

She glanced at him and grinned. "Do you?"

"Mm hmm," he murmured.

"But I’ve already known that."

"Oh really? How do you know that?"

"You’ve made it a habit to tell me that every night," she had said, casting him a pointed look, "in the bedroom."

He chuckled at that, then reached for the last bowl, taking it from her hand. But instead of simply drying it, he caught her wrist and held it gently. "Have you noticed something?"

"What? That the house had been quiet for a change?"

He grinned. "Exactly. No Adir. No sudden knocks. No distractions. I have to reaklly thank La-ela for taking Adir today. Tell her you love her okay? Even give her a kiss."

Melanie raised a brow. "So generous. May I ask why?"

Adam gave a lopsided grin," Well, I am just happy."

Melanie turned around in his arms then, discarded the gloves and slowly placed her arms around his neck," Just happy, huh?"

He bit his lower lip and then stared at her lips," Hmm. Have you noticed something?" Her eyes widened and he grinned. She had. Good.

But before he could be too happy about it, she pushed at his shoulders and said," I totally forgot that I had to complete the order forms! Dam* it! Good thing you reminded me. I’ll go do them now!"

With that, Melanie rushed away, leaving Adam glowering as he called after her," Looking at my face reminds you of order forms? Dam* you, Melon! Just you wait, I will come after you and remind you of exactly what it is! We are newly weds! Newly Weds!!!"

As Adam walked towards the now closed bedroom door, seething and vowing to remind Melanie Collins of exactly how explosive their chemistry was. But as he reached the door, he realized... it was locked. freēnovelkiss.com

He tried the knob, only to find it locked.

"Hey!" he said, knocking once. "This is cheating! Why are you locking the door while filling order forms?

From inside, he heard a soft giggle that had him narrow his eyes and then shuffle of footsteps.

He leaned in closer. "Melon? Open the door."

Silence.

Then, just as he was about to knock again, the door had clicked open. Slowly.

And then, there she stood with one hand resting on the knob wearing a soft white bathrobe that clung loosely to her figure, tied carelessly at the waist. Her hair were ties up in a messy knot on top of her head and her eyes sparkled with mischief.

Adam’s gaze travelled down instinctively. The robe parted just enough for him to realize—without question—that she was wearing nothing beneath it. His breath had caught as his eyes moved from the delicate line of her collarbone to the bare skin of her thigh peeking through the slit and a glint of something... was she wearing the chain he had given her around her thigh.

He let out a breath and reminded himself to be cool as he asked," You’re going to fill out forms wearing that?"

Melanie grinned, "Probably."

She backed away slowly, leaving the door open, as she said, "Close the door behind you."

He didn’t need to be told twice. He quickly stepped inside and closed the door.

And then watched as the belt was undone slowly.

Adam watched as her fingers undid the knot slowly. The robe parted with the slightest movement and then slipped off her shoulders, falling in a soft heap at her feet.

He didn’t breathe. He was sure he had forgotten how to breathe.

She stood before him wearing only the thigh chain he had given her months ago and the delicate gold body chain that draped over her waist and framed the black lace lingerie beneath it, before being tied over her neck.

It wasn’t just beautiful—it was stunning. Soft, sheer, and minimal in all the right ways. The lace hugged her hips and traced up her body, dark against her skin, disappearing beneath the glinting line of gold that rested across her stomach and over her collarbone.

His eyes travelled up and down slowly, reverently, as if memorising every line and every shimmer. His heart thudded, loud and heavy in his chest. He swallowed.

Melanie looked at him, standing perfectly still except for her fingers that lightly twisted the chain around her waist. "So..." she said, voice low, "what do you think of your surprise?"

There was a teasing smile on her lips, but he could see it—the flicker of nerves in her eyes, the way her weight shifted from one foot to the other, the subtle way she held her breath. She was trying to be bold, but she wasn’t sure.

He stepped forward, one hand reaching to cup her cheek. "You really want to know what I think?" he asked quietly.

She nodded once.

He didn’t say anything else. He just leaned in and kissed her softly, "This is the best surprise ever... Melon."

Melanie smiled against his lips and then he saw the way her eyes were riveted on his lower lip. He flicked his tongue and she said," This one pokes my lip a bit."

Adam grinned," Its because I like poking you." With that he pressed his lips against her all over again, letting her feel the little stud, as her tongue came out to lick his lips. The little miscreant had indeed noticed that he’d changed the accessory. But as her hands wound into his hair, Adam lost all thought of teasing her. His hands went to her thighs, and he picked her, before walking towards the bed.
