The Secret Obsession of the CEO-Chapter 223: She is Ready

Rory was astonished to see Liam leading her right to her room. But then, she made a lot of video calls, and he must know every place in this house by now.

"Are you hungry? Should I get you anything from the kitchen?" he asked the moment she entered the room.

"Umm..." Rory thought for a second rubbing her stomach. "No, I don’t feel hungry," she said. "I am so happy to be hungry," she smiled at him.

Liam pulled her into a hug. He too was happy but couldn’t express it as she does with words.

"I’ll take a bath," Rory said.

"Bath?" he raised his brows. "Can I join?" he asked.

Rory blinked. Hugging him naked...Umm...

"I was just kidding," Liam pushed her inside the bathroom. "Just go. Don’t take too much time. I want to take a shower too," he said.

"Fizzy, I..." Rory peeked out of the bathroom. She didn’t want to hurt him. She was not opposed to taking a bath together.

"Oh, get in," Liam didn’t let her speak and locked the door.

He let out a deep breath. He might have a clouded vision, but he didn’t think that Rory was opposed to the idea of taking a bath together. But he was scared to hear her speak. What if she is opposed?

He decided to wait a bit more and let her come to him by herself. That way, he would know that she is healed and is not forcing herself to be with him. The last thing he would want is for Rory to force herself to go with his wishes. She will do that for him. But that won’t be good for her.

The soundproofing of the bathroom door was not that great. He could hear the shower running after some time. She had decided against a bath and chose a shower instead. He sat on the bed looking at the bathroom door.

He sighed realizing how pitiful he is.

But then he got an idea. He hurriedly checked the wooden wardrobe and got her nightwear and clean towels. He decided at least to take a good look of her naked. He deserves at least that much, right?

Rory couldn’t stay calm. She could feel her body warming up and she knew it was not because of the warm shower. Something else was going on. She looked at her finger and she yelped seeing the ring.

I cannot wear the ring in the shower!

She removed the engagement ring and placed it on the wash basin. Her lips curved seeing the ring and the cute way he proposed to her.

She sighed. The least she could do is let him inside and have a shower together. That way, she would know how far she can go.

After reaching that decision, she didn’t wait. She went to the door and tried to open it. Liam who was standing by the door contemplating on whether to barge in or not was stunned seeing the knob turning from inside.

Has she finished already?

"One moment," he opened the door. "Here," he passed the towel.

Rory was surprised to see her husband behaving. He is even offering her the towel with his head bowed. She had no doubts that he wanted to make love with her tonight. But he is holding back.

Her heart clenched.

"Hey, help me wash my back," she pulled him inside.

He dropped the towel and it fell on the floor right above the small puddle of water that dripped down her hair.

Liam wanted to ask her if she is really okay with that. But she pinched his lips together and dragged him to the shower.

"Let me undress," he said. Within ten seconds he got rid of the layers of clothes on him. And the next second he jumped in the shower.

She was standing facing the wall. Maybe because it was an old house, or because this is a guest room, the bathroom was not very big. There was only one ceiling light hanging at the center. The shower got only a little light through the partition.

But he didn’t mind. He is standing in the same shower enclosure with his wife! That was enough for him.

Her long hair cascaded down her back and the tips curved and nestled in the small of her back. Her slender shoulders were exposed and with the water glistening on her smooth skin, she looked like a painting.

Her shoulders were a bit scrunched up and he wondered if she is uncomfortable and stayed at a distance. The warm water from the shower streamed down her perfect body, got splashed on the floor, and ended up on his legs. It was cold when it reached him, but his lower body had warmed up and was looking up.

His eyes traveled south of her body.

Rory could feel his stare at her without even looking back. Her heart raced and she was feeling shy. When the warm water slid between her legs, it...uh...

She crossed her legs and kept her knees together. She wanted to know what he was doing as he was not making any noise. But she was too shy to face him.

"That freckle..." Liam reached for that beautiful freckle on her bum cheek. He looked down and that still looked the same. They say God made Eve out of Adam’s rib bone. But for them, God put a mark on her bum as an instruction on which one would fit her perfectly.

Isn’t it amazing? We surely are made for each other.

Rory covered her mouth and started laughing.

"What?" Liam asked stepping close to her. He didn’t sense any discomfort in her tone. And that gave him the courage to get closer to her.

"Back then..." she spoke. She almost breathed in the water as none of her organs were working properly as his fingers traced over her abdomen.

"Back when...?" Liam turned off the shower with his other hand and pressed his lips on her shoulder.

Rory took in a sharp breath as his hand pressed firmly on her abdomen. His lips nibbled on her shoulder at the same time.

"Back in University..." she leaned back as he kissed all over her shoulder.

"Hmm..." his voice vibrated in her ear.

"Just after our wedding you..." she couldn’t speak further as he pushed her wet hair aside and kissed her neck. She felt his excited little guy on her back. As he kissed her, he rubbed his crotch over her back.

She closed her eyes and let him do his thing. She enjoyed every single touch of his finger and every little flicker of his tongue on her skin.

Back when they were newlyweds, nothing changed between them for some time. They were sleeping in the same bed but after their wedding, they hadn’t even kissed.

She thought that he was not interested in her that way. And she still was not sure about her feelings toward him although he was her husband.

It was Liam who started to push through the invisible boundary between them. Little by little, he shrunk her boundary. One fine morning, she was taking a quick shower before her classes. She usually locks the bathroom door, but that day, she was in a hurry and left it unlocked.

’You need to check out that freckle on your butt...’

When she heard Liam’s voice inside the shower, she was shocked. In her shock, she turned and shouted at him wailing her hands not realizing that she was showing him her entire body.

’It’s pink,’ he winked.

She realized why he was smirking only then. With a pout, she pushed him away and ran out of the bathroom.

’Why are you mad? They are so pretty!’ he shouted.

Her hands were shaking, and she could not believe what happened. He would occasionally stand shirtless in front of her and that would make her feel weird. But this... she couldn’t forgive him for making her feel weird.

She didn’t look at him the entire morning. She avoided him and sat away from him. He was insistent on getting next to her and found a seat beside her just before lunch.

’Can’t I look at you?’ he asked. ’I am your husband!’

She still remembered the want in his eyes when he said that. The possessive smirk, the confidence in meeting her eyes, and the tender way he held her hand...

Little by little, he pushed close to her. And then on a fine night when they had liquid courage, they did the deed, consummating their marriage.

Rory turned and faced Liam. His eyes still had that want. And oddly, that eyes didn’t scare her then. She remembered the Liam she fell in love with. And nothing else came to her mind. No one else came to her mind.

"Thank you for waiting, honey," she kissed his lips. "Now, take me to bed," she clung to his shoulder.

He doesn’t have to wait anymore. She is ready. She is ready to let the man who loves her deeply show his love to her by making love to her.
