"No!" Linc's voice boomed as he looked at Mel.
"Come on Linc can't I just work from my office," she said crossing her arms over her ample bosom and watching his gaze shift. "It will be more convenient," she said slowly walking towards him.
"You shouldn't even be here, but at home with the children relaxing," he growled.
"I will go home only if you say yes," she purred grazing his neck with her nails as he slowly closed his eyes before snapping them open and stepping away from her with a smirk.
"Nice try little one," he said going around his desk to sit in his chair.

"Come on Linc the twins don't need me that much any longer and I miss work," she pouted. "Besides I would like for you to see my new office," she said biting her lower lip. "I would love the visits," she said in a sultry voice as he looked away from her. "It could be fun," she said slowly turning his head to face her.
"You know what would be more fun," he said pulling her into his lap slowly tilting her head backwards.
"What?" She breathed out as his fingers grazed her neck running down her collar as he undid her buttons.
"You and me in this office, on our desk, sofa, the wall, anywhere you would like it," he murmured into her ear gently biting her earlobe with a smile as her breath hitched.

Standing up with her still in his arms he set her down on the table slowly taking his time as he marked her neck.
"Lincoln...did you...did you lock the door," she breathed out as she yanked his shirt open making buttons fly across the room.
"It's locked," he said before he claimed her lips in a tantalizing kiss that had her seeing stars as her mind reeled with anticipation.
"Lincoln," she whispered as he stood between her legs.
"Will you go to that office or stay here?" He growled.
Doubt flickered across her features before he growled, "That's not the answer I want," he said as his head fisted her hair and he gave her a punishing kiss that left her breathless.

"Which office Mel," he growled as he grabbed her hands restricting her from exploring his body.
"Lincoln," she whispered trembling.
"Wrong answer," he said as he started assaulting the weak spot just behind her ear as she tried to release herself from his grip.
"Which....office," he said looking straight into her eyes.
"Yours," she breathed out.
"Sweetheart don't test me," he said in a warning tone.
"Ours," she breathed out as a smile formed on his lips.

"Goodness me," they both heard making them turn towards the door as they saw Rebecca and Charles by the door with Ethan's eyes shut tight as he backed away crying, 'my eyes', closing the door.
"Lincoln," Mel hissed as she frantically searched for her blouse.
"I thought it was locked," he said running a hand through his hair.
"Well it wasn't," she said as he put his shirt on before turning to the bathroom to get a new one. "How will I ever face your parents," she said panicking. "And your brother, I will never hear the end of this," she said running her hands through her hair. "You know what, you get rid of them," she said pulling him out of the bathroom before locking herself in.

"Mom, dad. What brings you here?" Linc said in a cool tone.
"Your mother insisted on us stopping by when I was clearly against it," Charles grumbled looking at his wife. "Next time you will heed my words."
"Hey Linc where is the birthday girl," Ethan asked trying to reign in his laughter as Linc looked at the bathroom door giving away her location.
"She isn't umm, feeling too well," he said as Ethan stood up walking towards the door.
"Hey Mel are you alright?"
"I'm fine Ethan," she responded clearly becoming more embarrassed.
"Are you sure my brother hasn't knocked you up again?" He sniggered earning a glare from Linc.

"Are you sure, you want to go there Ethan," Mel said opening the door and stepping out looking presentable. "I know someone who would be more than willing to help me," she said as Ethan backed away clearly rattled by her statement.
"You win sis," he said taking a seat as Mel greeted her parents.
"What's that about," Linc murmured pulling her to his side.
"You aren't a girl so sorry can't tell you," she said they shared a look.

"We should get going," Charles said getting up.
"I'm right behind you," Ethan called out standing up as Linc and Mel seemed oblivious to their departure.
"Bye mom and dad," Mel said as they waved bye. "You too Ethan," she added just as he was about to say something.
"You know how much I love you right," Linc murmured.
"To infinity and beyond," Mel whispered as he inched closer to her.
"To infinity and beyond," he murmured as his lips met hers groaning when she pulled apart from him.

"Is the door locked?" She asked as he pulled her onto his lap allowing her to straddle him.
"Yes," he said after pressing a button as she slowly undid his shirt.
"No interruptions," she whispered in a silky voice as he paused his actions picking up a phone telling his PA that he didn't want any interruptions.
"No interruptions," he said with a smile as he kissed her before she pulled away from him.

"Wait, what if someone hears us?" She said in panic.
"It's just like home," he said as a smile appeared on her face.
"You had the office soundproofed too," she said with a glow in her eyes.
"Considering how loud you are, I had to," he said as she punched his chest playfully.
"I am not loud...every time," she mumbled making him laugh.
"I love how I can make those sounds come out of you," he said with a cocky grin.
"If I remember correctly, last time you were the one cryi..." She didn't finish her statement as he clamped her lips shut with his. "And begging for more," she quickly added when he pulled away from her for air.

"Oh crap, Lincoln what's the time?" Mel said as Lincoln untangled his limbs from hers.
"Five thirty love," he said before sitting up with a start.
"The party, no, no, we are going to be late."
"Relax love, it's your party. You can arrive whenever you want."
"What about the guests, we have to thank them for coming."
"They are eating and drinking. They should be thanking us," Linc grumbled as he stood up.

"Besides I had your things brought over," he said picking her up as he led her to the bathroom for a shower.
Pressing a button a door opened revealing a small room where a team of stylists were already set up. Within an hour she had her hair and nails done, her makeup was light and before she could get dressed Linc stepped in holding a box in his hands.
"Thank you ladies," I will take care of the rest," he said in a sexy drawl.
Her throat felt dry as she took in his appearance, he looked eatable as her eyes ran up and down his body.
"Love, don't do that," he said softly placing a kiss on her lips untying her silk robe and letting it fall to the ground. Taking her gown he helped her into it slowly zipping her up before revealing his gift for her.
"Lincoln," she gasped seeing the necklace as he placed it around her neck. "Are you crazy, how much did this cost?" She asked him.
"Just the reaction I expected," he murmured turning her around as he planted a kiss on her lips. "Happy birthday love," he said placing the infinity bracelet around her wrist next to the family bracelet he had given her long back.
"Thank you," she said softly looking at the bracelet as he put the earrings on her ears.

"You look edible," he said as she smirked remembering how she had the same thought just a few minutes ago.
"Hmm who knows, I might just model in only these babies, before you devour me," she said looking at him as he went down on his knees.
"I'll take you up on that," he said slipping the silver heels on her feet as she held onto him for support.
"You really like spoiling me don't you."
"Who else on this earth would I spoil other than my love and family," he said as she straightened out his bow tie for him.
"I will never get tired of this," she murmured as he placed a light kiss on her lips.
"You better not. You have to still fulfil the fantasies I have about us in the car, on the yacht, plenty of them in the office," he laughed as she looked at him shocked.
"Is that all you think about?" She asked as he laughed some more.

"If you only knew what I am thinking about right now," he said earning a glare from Mel.
"Too bad you will be sleeping on the couch with those thoughts of yours," she said with a smirk as she quickly stepped out of his reach.
"Let's see who will be begging me to sleep right beside them," he said with a smirk as she rolled her eyes knowing she would never win.
"Come on birthday girl, we need to go get your presents."
"There's more?" She asked terrified knowing her husband would get her something outrageous.
"There is always more," he smiled as they went to join their family and friends.

At the Party

"Talia you look stunning this evening," Mel murmured embracing the woman before her.
"So do you Mel, you still look as young as me," she teased as they were only a year apart.
"And I'm the luckiest man to have her all to myself," Linc murmured kissing her cheek as her face heated up.
"Come on let's leave these two before I am actually blinded unlike before," Ethan said pulling Talia along as he held her close.

"That boy is totally gone," Linc said.
"Yep, pay up," Mel said with a smile.
"It's not fair, you always win these bets," he muttered.
"That's not my fault, so pay up," she said.
"Hmmm later sweetheart," he said giving her a look she knew all too well.

Standing on the podium next to Linc the room slowly quietened down before a waiter slipped a note to her.
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Thank you all for coming to celebrate a very special day. The day when the love of my life came into this world," he said reaching for her hand as she smiled at him then the crowd.
"I'll keep this short and simple. You all know her, she is a strong, caring, loving, gentle woman. Just be careful not to step on her toes, just ask my employees," he chuckled. "She is the mother of my three adorable children who could not be here to share this special day. I love her very much. Thank you for bringing tremendous peace and happiness into my life. Happy birthday my love," he said giving her a light kiss as the crowd clapped their hands.

Mel looked around in appreciation as Linc escorted her off the small stage. Opening the note her smile fell as she read:

Happy birthday my dear. I am most likely dead by now but there is something I must tell you.
That night your mother died she had confessed of an affair. You are not my biological daughter, you must be joyous from this little fact, anyway, I never got to know the identity of your real father but all she said was he was a wealthy man. I am sorry for all the pain I put you through. I guess I let my anger get the best of me. Love daddy...

"Mel, what's wrong?" Linc asked seeing her change in demure. "Sweetheart talk to me," Linc said looking worried as she stared into space her legs giving up whilst Linc held her up calling her as darkness overcame her.
