Chapter 46: Take you back to bed
"What do you mean?" Shen's eyes bore deep into Lina, like he could see her soul.
She felt like she was on a cloud, her heart racing, the butterflies in her stomach and this handsome, strong man holding her like she was the world.
"I mean...I was at the café we met at. I noticed it while driving back from work"
Shen frowned. He didn't like that she'd been driving off everywhere by herself after having lost her memory. She had driven herself to the Moshi Corp offices the other day too!
Lina ignored his frown, immediately realising what he was thinking. This husband was going to reprimand her for running around carelessly later.
"Anyway, I didn't know that it was the same café, but I was drawn to it. I thought it was a place you'd have liked. And then for a moment, I had a flashback to when we introduced ourselves to each other and you told me my name suited me."
Shen's lips slowly widened, his face almost glowing. The smile almost had Lina choking on her words.
Why was he so good looking!?
"And you told me you liked mine..."
Lina nodded shyly and looked away. Any more time spent looking into his deep, dark eyes and she'd turn into a puddle.
She decidedly pushed him away, but he didn't want to let go.
"What? Already pushing your most beloved husband away?" he feigned distress.
She pinched his perfect cheek teasingly and chided him.
"Will my hubby not eat the first meal his wife cooked after so long?"
Shen reluctantly let go of her and sat down, serving himself a large portion.
"Baby, how did you know that this is the exact dish you cooked for me the first time I came to your apartment? Did you remember that too?"
He knew he shouldn't push her too hard, but he was expectant, wondering how much of their past she actually remembered.
Lina's eyes widened.
"I didn't know! I had my own apartment?"
Shen rolled his eyes. THAT's what this woman had picked up? Selective hearing.....
"Of course you did. You're a successful, independent woman who is sought after world wide! Did you expect me to find you living on the streets?"
Lina gently smacked Shen's arm.
"Just eat. I didn't even know what I was doing. This just happened!"
Shen realised that her muscle memory and her subconsciousness would work together at times. From what he spoke to Dr. Hayama about, this was a good thing. She still had everything within her, she only needed to trust herself and let her walls down.
He ate quickly, excited to take his wife back to bed. He had waited for so long now to rest with her safely in his arms.
Shen had also missed their physical intimacy. He craved her touch and her gentleness. But he'd allow her to approach him slowly. Tonight, just holding her would be enough.
She watched him closely, without a word. Shen suddenly noticed her gaze on him.
He stopped eating. Was this real? This really was her...
He broke out into a broad smile, taking her breath away once more.
"It's delicious. Better than before, even."
Saying that, he reached for her hand, moved forward a gently kissed her forehead.
Lina's intent gaze softened, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know why she had been holding her breath, but hearing him saying it was delicious gave her an immense sense of satisfaction.
She was happy that she could satisfy her husband's appetite.
Then she realised that there was another appetite of his she needed to satisfy as well. He was a man, and had waited patiently for her this whole while. As her thoughts wandered to the possibility of those intimate acts, her face turned red.
Shen, having noticed this, left a smile playing on his lips.
Before she could recover from her thoughts, she felt herself being abruptly picked up from the chair.
She gasped as her nose was suddenly filled with Shen's musky scent, being so close to him. Her heart was pounding in her chest, but she didn't struggle. Instead, she let him carry her up to their bedroom.
As he gently laid her down on the bed, he undressed for bed.
Neither one of them said a word.
Thoughts of the other day in his office floated to her head as she watched his bare back, and lean muscular arms move around.
Then she remembered the moment his towel had dropped when they were in his office.
Suddenly, her stomach flipped, making her tingle with just that one thought.
'No, get it together!' she told herself.
She had decided to be transparent with Shen. Before they did anything, she would tell him about the encounter with Tachi.
No more lies. No more secrets.
They would lie naked in front of each other hereon.
She had given her heart and body to this man before she lost her memory, and there should be no more walls between them.
