Chapter 68: Finish What was Started

Chad was taken aback by her comment. He was simply teasing her to see her squirm a bit. Little did he anticipate the confession of her feelings towards him. It was such an innocent mistake. She really thought they were together.

His heartbeat sped up a little. It was a two-way attraction after all. If her attraction to him was true, he’s not exactly using her amnesia issue to cheat her into a relationship, was it? The thought made him stop. His blood felt cold. So that’s what it felt like, what they say about throwing cold water on oneself.

He really looked at her. The way she looked at him said it all. Tension built between them. “Maybe you’re right,” his voice was a soft whisper. His eyes fell on her lips. She bit her lower lip, trying to calm her beating heart.

She had her doubts. She didn’t remember what their relationship was like but if her whole body reacted this way, it must be true. And the only way to find out..

Knock! Knock! Their moment was interrupted by the newcomer behind the door. Stacy opened her eyes. A wave of disappointment washed over her. Chad cursed under his breath as he moved to the door. “This better be important,” she heard him say to the person behind the door. “Oh. Do I catch you at a bad time?” A man’s voice sounded. “Just spill it!” Chad’s tone was impatient. “It’s not very important. I’ll come back tomorrow,” she could literally hear the smile in his voice.

Chad slammed the door in his face. He walked back towards her. She watched him carefully, tracing all his movements. Instead of going back to her, he stopped in front of the table. The tray of food was emptied. He reached out to it. “I’ll take it. Is there anything else you need?”

Stacy stared at him in disbelief. They were in the middle of something just a moment ago. In just a few seconds of answering the door, he was going to drop it and pretended that nothing almost happened between them? He didn’t even look at her.

Fuck it! If it’s true that they were in a relationship, it’s totally a normal thing to do. She was prepared for it. Anticipated it, even. No amount of door knocking should stop her. She stood on her knees on the bed. The action prompted him to turn over to see what she was trying to do. “Leave it. Come here.” He looked surprised by her request but put the tray down to its former spot and took a step nearer anyway. Stacy curled a finger at him, signalling him to bow down.

He raised one brow in question. Slowly, he leaned down, thinking that she wanted to whisper. She loved these cute, childish acts. He even turned his head to the side so she could reach his ear. He was waiting to hear what she was to say to him but instead, she draped her arms around his neck. He turned to give her a surprised look in a reflex motion and she used the chance to press her lips to his.

His eyes widened in surprise. He froze. The feeling of her soft lips pressing against his, the way her eyes were closed as she did it. She took his lower lip and sucked on it. His eyes turned dark. His arms went around her, pulling her closer to him as he deepened the kiss.

His kiss was light and gentle at first, then grew more passionate as the seconds passed. His right hand went up to her head, holding her in place. Her heartbeat sped up and she felt the heat spreading in her body.

She couldn’t think and she didn’t know what to do. With her eyes closed, she relished in the moment and felt the areas where their skin was in contact. He licked her lower lips and that flick sent a shiver down her spine. Her lips parted in a pant and that allowed his tongue in.

She gasped when that happened. He pulled her nearer to him as if they couldn’t get close enough. Tongues wrestled. She didn’t know what happened but her body moved on its own. It felt great. It felt like home.

She didn’t know how long they were at it until they broke apart, gasping for breath. Her mind was still blank as they stared at each other. His eyes went back to her lips as if he wasn’t getting enough. Good. Cause she needed it too.

Her hand landed on his chest, feeling the rise and fall of it. He held the hand and brought it up to his lips. Her other hand fisted a handful of his shirt as his lips grazed the heart of her palm.

She closed her eyes and tried not to focus on how he made her feel. The rate of her heartbeat was not helping. She opened her eyes and saw the longing in his eyes.

His jaw clicked as he gritted his teeth hard. The intensity of him made her gulp. She felt a pool of heat in between her thighs.

He looked like he was fighting the devil himself. His body was stiff as he pulled away. She immediately felt the lost when it happened. She’d used all her restraint to not reach out to pull him back. ‘What’s wrong with me?’

He gave her one last longing look before stepping out with the tray. She was left confused. He was even more unpredictable than the weather.

Once he left the room, Chad marched straight to the kitchen, putting distance between them. His movements were stiff. He had tried his best to hold back. It felt irresponsible of him to be doing anything with her when she’s lost her memories. Furthermore, she just woke up and needed to recover. He shouldn’t harm her in the heat of the moment. That called for a long cold shower.
