Eighteen Again: The CEO's Wife Was A Delinquent

Sometimes, handling a business can be a thorn in the side. 

After Cassidy decided to return to her office and finish her work, more of them started coming out of nowhere. They all happened to be urgent, considering that she took some days off recently and failed to handle these errands as early as possible. Because of that, she finds herself stuck there until now.

She's dealing with several legal documents at the moment. Signing papers doesn't often come out to be time-consuming, but she isn't really doing it without a care in the world. Ranging from accounting records to inventories, she needs to read each one of them thoroughly.

"Why now of all times, though...?" Cassidy sighed out loud and leaned back on her chair.

"I really don't want to be this busy once I already have a child."

Then, she blinked. 

Reacting surprised and incredulous to what she just came up with, she sat upright and shook her head. She can't believe that she's thinking that far ahead - she only got back together with Adrian last night.

Nonetheless, Cassidy knows in herself that she's serious.

"As much as I love managing this restaurant, I'll have to take a long break from it some time soon."

With those as her last thoughts, she carried on with her work. She tried to do it in a hurry this time since she already left her husband out there for too long. But little did she know that she really didn't have to be in such a haste. 

Too busy arranging papers and walking up from one cabinet to another, Cassidy fails to hear the door opening. 

Ever so silently, Adrian walks up to her from behind. Since his wife was too focused on making the finishing touches, she still didn't notice him. That's until she feels a pair of arms wrap themselves around her waist, catching her off guard. 

Cassidy then hastily turned her head around - only to find Adrian embracing her from the back, much to her pleasant surprise. She blushes at the gesture, which earns a small laugh from him. 

"Adrian, I didn't notice you entering" she chimed in and smiled at him, acting somewhat bashful.

"How hardworking of you, Cassidy. Bryan wasn't wrong about you getting too caught up in your work that you kept losing track of time," he said with a smirk while he propped his chin over her shoulder.

"Oh, he said that?"

"Yeah, he did. That's why I came."

"I'm sorry for making you wait. I'll go now, okay?"

"What for? I'm already here."

That's when Adrian tightens his grip around Cassidy, nuzzling his nose in her neck all the while. She slightly shivered at the feeling of his breath hitting her skin there, but he was too mesmerized to notice as he only continued to take in her alluringly sweet scent.

"By the way, what's with the visit? You didn't tell me anything last night," Cassidy asked, resting both of her hands on his arms and rubbing them gently.

"Didn't I tell you that I want to court you? Since I really didn't get to do that back then, I might as well take all the opportunities I could get..." Adrian answered with a knowing look. 

"I'll do this my way, and I'll make sure you're going to be pleasantly surprised everytime."

"So, no more anonymous bouquets?"

When she brings that up with a teasing smirk, he only chuckles once more. He then pulls away while she turns around to look at him. Now that they're looking at each other, he reaches out his arms to her sides and puts his hands on the table behind her, trapping her in between. 

He stares at her straight in the eye, smirking mischievously. Seeing him this up close makes her falter a little and flush a shade of pink again - time and again, she's helplessly captivated by his breathtaking features. 

"Perhaps, it's time for me to give you flowers personally..." he continued before he rested his forehead on hers. 

"You deserve much better than anonymous bouquets. And I want to be a better husband for you."

"You really don't have to, you know..." she whispered breathily, cupping both of his cheeks. 

"I love you just the way you are."

With a smitted expression, Adrian grins at Cassidy, feeling like falling for her all over again. From thereon, the couple only continues on with their soft gazes and loving touches while bathing in each other's warm presence. 

Despite her reassurance, though, he knows that he can't stay the way he is now. While he did work hard to get his family matters solved before she went back to his life, he knew that he still had not made up for how he treated her all those years. Other than that, he'll also make sure that she'll be comfortable and untroubled once she stands alongside him again. 

'From now on, I won't care about what the world has to say. Their only job here is to know that you're mine,' was what he was thinking in silence while he kept peering at her with his half-lidded sapphire orbs brimming with determination.

"To be honest, Cassidy..." he then chimed in again, earning a small hum from her.

"I also came to ask you to go to an amusement park with me."

"Oh! A date?!" she chirped ecstatically.

"Yeah. We can also bring the kids along if you want."

"That's perfect! We do owe them one for causing troubles on their family day."

Cassidy giggled a little and beamed at Adrian right then, endearing him even more.

Unable to hold himself back any longer, he leans down to her and dives in for an affectionate kiss, making her gasp in surprise. Without hesitation, he then wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her closer to him. She returns the gesture by putting her arms around his neck, kissing him back without dropping her smile.

Cassidy already had a strong feeling about this since way back then, but his touches, his lips and his warmth - they're all so intoxicating that she forgot they're still in her office.

Not even a minute in their make-out session, Adrian hoists her up and places her on top of her office desk, which made her squeal a little. He kisses her senseless from thereon, deepening it in each passing moment. For that entire time, he still has his arms locked around her waist while her hands are splayed across his broad shoulders.

"A-Adrian, s-slow down."

"Sorry. You're just too irresistible."

Cassidy is having a hard time repressing her moans at this point, especially when Adrian seems to be getting better and better at it every time their lips make contact.

Making out with her husband in her office wasn't really part of her wild imagination. But then again, she probably wouldn't be able to feel the enjoyment and delight it could bring unless she experienced it for real. A similar pattern of thinking goes for him. He would never know that he needed and wanted something so much until he just came to realize that he did. 

Through these intimate and loving gestures alone, both of them can tell that they're trying to make up for all the days they're away from each other. Whenever they touch, it's always filled with yearnings and desires that they buried within for too long.

Right now, though, Cassidy and Adrian vow to make up for it not only through this onslaught of affection alone - they're going to do so by promising to stay together forever this time around.
