Chapter 11

After her hospital board meeting, Laura went to Dr. Monroe's office to question him about Kevin and his memories. "So, Victor told me that Kevin has been remembering words and phrases, usually after he speaks to me. The phrases he says to me are the same special things he said during our relationship. I guess what I am trying ask is if I can tell him about this missing spots in his memory?"

"He's not supposed to remember the last two years. We knew taking that piece out would remove some memories. When he woke up after surgery, we asked him questions. He knew nothing from early 2016 and on," replied a surprised Griffin.

"He remembers me. I know he does. He just doesn't know it yet. He hasn't put all the clues together. He hasn't had enough clues, but Kevin is smart. He will figure out that he has said all those things to me before. He will remember me, but he's going to be infuriated that no one told him about his missing life."

Griffin said, "I understand that, Laura. But what I don't understand is why you are so insistent on him knowing now. Why can't he place the clues together like you said?"

Laura responded, "Because we are getting close. I know you told me to try to keep my distance. You have been so kind and allowed me to keep up this facade of being a volunteer visiter, but Griffin, you can't stop two hearts from falling in love that are meant to be in love. He is my husband. I am his wife. Our hearts belong together."

"I don't know, Laura. Maybe it is better for Kevin's mind that he works out these fuzzy memories. That way he isn't overwhelmed by the truth because he figured it out himself."

Laura grew frustrated. "Griffin, with all due respect, I know my husband. He would be more overwhelmed when he figures out on his own that I and the rest of his family have been keeping him in the dark this whole time. If I told him or showed him the letter he wrote himself, he would be shocked and confused, but at least I could explain things to him calmly."

"I don't know. In my professional opinion, I believe it is better for his brain to work out these flashes of memories than for someone to fill in the blanks for him."

"Griffin, he's falling in love with me. Again," Laura said. "This might be a little too much information but things have gotten physical."

Griffin questioned, "Physical, as in a sexual nature?"

Laura nodded bashfully. "Yes. He's my husband. I desperately want to make love to him and he wants to make love to me. I would feel like I am lying to him if I made love to him without him knowing exactly what our relationship is."

"Maybe you should cool things down," proposed Griffin.

"Griffin, when my husband and I were falling in love, we slept together on our first date. We knew from the beginning that this was meant to be. Slowing this down would break his heart. When Kevin knows what he wants, he respectively goes and gets it."

"Laura, I don't know."

"You are a doctor! I come to you for advice and guidance with my memoryless husband! 'I don't know' is not an answer!", Laura yelled in frustration.

Griffin deeply sighed. "My professional opinion is to let him work out his memories himself. I feel as if that is the best option to make his brain stronger. With regards to sex, you decide. I'm not going to tell you what to do. You know your husband in that regard. If he loves you as much as I think he does, then if or when he remembers you and you to have had sex, he might be upset, but I don't think he would hate you for it. He is a man after all."

"Would that make me a horrible, selfish person if I had sex with him without him knowing who we really are to one another?" whispered Laura.

Griffin replied softly, "No. It would make you a woman desperately in love with her husband."

"Would I be raping him? Because I know what it is like to be a victim, I would never want to do that to someone else," Laura whispered tearfully in embarrassment.

Griffin rose from his seat, kneeled besides Laura, and grabbed her hand. He said, "No. You would not be raping him. He knows you, he is falling in love with you, and he consented to it. As long as he gave consent, I would say that you did not rape him."

"Thank you for your advice," Laura replied.

"Have you decided what you are going to do?", asked Griffin.

Laura groaned. "No, but I might let my heart decide when the moment comes."

"I've heard great things about your heart. So, I am sure you will make the right choice."

"I hope," Laura muttered.

"Victor, I need you out of the house until later tonight," said Kevin entering the kitchen.

Victor looked up from his crossword puzzle and asked, "Why, Monk? Special plans with a certain blonde?"

"Yes, Laura is coming over and I would like to avoid what happened yesterday. It was quite embarrassing for all of us."

Victor deeply sighed. "Monk, do you think it's smart to become physical with Laura so quickly? You just met her in a sense."

Kevin leaned against the counter. "Victor, I know it seems rushed, but my heart beats so fast when she's with me. I am constantly thinking of her. This is the quickest I have ever fallen for someone, but I just can't help it with her. Its like as if we were together in another life time."

Victor wasn't sure how to reply to his son. He could tell Kevin was falling for Laura, but it was killing him not being able to tell him that Laura was his wife. He hates keeping things from his son, since they have been estranged for years. "Maybe you are right, Monk. Maybe you and Laura were together in another life and your souls have finally met."

"That's what I think too, Victor."

"So, what do you have planned for this evening? Minor details, please," inquired Victor.

Kevin chuckled and said, "Just a movie and some candles. I thought I would keep it simple. Oh! And I'd move things to the bedroom as opposed to the living room couch."

Victor groaned. "Thank God. That memory is still burnt in my eyes."

Kevin laughed and replied, "Yeah. I don't want to scar you and I don't want things to get interrupted."

"Just take things slow, Monk. Slow and steady wins the race," said Victor.

"My heart is telling me she's important, Victor. I think we are meant to be together. No matter how fast or slow this relationship goes. I feel like I am meant to be hers and she is meant to be mine."

"You are a good man, Kevin. Laura is a lucky woman."

Victor left twenty minutes ago and Laura texted him saying she would be there in ten minutes; so, Kevin was lighting candles and attempting to clean the already tidy apartment. He wants everything to look nice for tonight no matter how far they take things. After yesterday, Kevin realized that he wasn't going to stop things if they were going all the way. There's something that draws him to Laura and he didn't want to fight it. They aren't young kids who need to take their time to realize who and what they want. They are mature adults who don't need to wait weeks and months to succumb to their wants. Kevin wants Laura and hopefully she wants him too.

Kevin finished lighting the final candle when he heard a knock at his door, who he assumed was Laura. He took a deep breath and opened his door to the woman who has captured his heart. "Hello," said Kevin staring into Laura's blue eyes.

Laura smiled and said, "Hi."

"Um, come in. I have our movie set up whenever you are ready."

Laura put her purse on the arm chair and replied, "I am ready when you are."

Kevin sat on the couch and opened his arm for Laura to lean into. He grabbed the remote and hit play. While the movie began, Laura said, "I like the candles. It adds an intimate touch to the apartment."

Kevin nodded. "Good. I am glad you like them."

Laura smiled and turned back to watch the movie. About thirty minutes into the movie, Kevin leaned down and kissed Laura's neck. Laura took his hint and arched her neck to allow him more access and to give him a sign that she's game to whatever he has in mind. Kevin began sucking and licking his way up and down her neck. Laura moaned and moved his way up to her ear and sucked on her earlobe. Laura groaned in appreciation, turned to face him and began kissing him senseless. Their tongues intertwined. Kevin moaned in pleasure. When they had to break apart for some oxygen, Laura soon began kissing her way from one side of his jaw to the other. When she ended on his left jaw, she whispered in his ear, "I want you." Kevin took that as a go-ahead. He stood up, grabbed her hand, and lead her towards the stairs. Before heading up them, he turned to Laura and asked, "Is this what you want? Are you sure? I know this is quick and-"

Laura cut him off with her fingers lightly pressing on his lips. "I want you and you want me. That's all that matters right now. Take me to your bed and make me yours."

Kevin nodded and lead her to his bedroom. Once they arrived, he closed the door quickly with his foot and began kissing Laura against it. His leg was between her thighs and he could feel the heat of her arousal coming from her center. Kevin started pulling off her blazer, while she began unbuttoning his shirt. With every button, she kissed the skin that began to show, pulled his shirt completely off, and threw it behind her. Kevin pulled her camisole off and reveled in the skin to skin contact. Kevin began kissing his way down Laura's body while she moaned in pleasure. Once he arrived at the top of her skirt, he pulled it down with force, dying to have more of her delicious skin. He helped her remove her shoes with softness. He licked and sucked his way back up her body and Laura arched against the door. Her hands went from gripping his shoulders to pulling his pant's zipper down. She moaned, "These. Off. Now." Kevin complied immediately and rid himself of his jeans. Once they were both out of their shoes and top layer of clothing, the two lovers kissed their way over to his bed. Laura felt the back of her knees bump into the edge of the bed and sat back and leaned back into the mattress. Kevin climbed on top of her and smiled.

Laura asked, "Why are you smiling at me?"

Kevin brushed a piece of Laura's hair behind her ear and said, "You are so beautiful."

Laura blushed. "You are very handsome."

Kevin smiled and returned to kissing Laura. While kissing her, Kevin pulled her bra straps down and Laura arched her back so that he could unclip her bra all together. He pulled her bra off her quickly and tossed it aside. He placed his hands upon her breasts and Laura moaned. She placed her hands atop of his and urged him to squeeze harder. Kevin squeezed her breasts and sucked her neck simultaneously. Laura whined in grand satisfaction. Kevin moved his mouth from her neck to her breasts and began kissing around her peaked nipples. She withered beneath him attempting to lead her nipple into his mouth. Kevin teased her for a bit more, but soon decided to give her what she wants. He pulled her right nipple into his mouth and gently sucked and used his left hand to softly pinch her left nipple. "Harder!", Laura yelled. Kevin gently pulled her right nipple with his teeth and tweaked her left one even harder. Laura arched into him and groaned in pleasure. Kevin switched breasts and gave the left nipple the same attention he gave to the right. Laura moaned and decided it was her turn to give him some attention.

Laura gave indication that she wanted to be on top and Kevin gladly obliged. She straddled his waist and began kissing and licking her way down his body. She started sucking on his Adam's apple and moved further down his body. She stopped at his nipple and sucked gently. Kevin moaned in delight. Laura remained kissing and sucking Kevin's chest while she rubbed her hand up and down his flank, softly moving her hands in his boxers. She held his erection in her hand. She softly rubbed it up and down. Kevin groaned, "Harder." She used her thumb to touch the tip and that pushed Kevin over the edge. He immediately flipped them over and started sucking her neck thoroughly. Laura pulled at his boxers and he took them off at her command. Kevin licked his way down her body until he reached the top of her red underpants. He looked up for permission and she nodded quickly. He used his finger tips to gently slide her underwear down her legs and off her body. He left open mouth kisses up her body once again. He moved his left hand from her hip and whispered in her ear, "I want to make you feel good. Is that okay?"

Laura hissed, "Yes! Please!"

He used his left hand to gently spread her legs apart. He softly inserted one finger inside of her. She gave him a positive and affirmative response by whitering beneath him and uttering his name in enjoyment. After she was comfortable with one finger, he inserted another and Laura gripped his bed sheets tightly and grunted his name. Kevin continued pressing into her and soon found Laura moving more into his hand. Laura rocked her hips against his hand, but before she let herself go, she yelled, "I need you now!"

Kevin pulled his fingers away and placed his hands on both sides of her face. He may not remember the last two years, but these next few moments he will remember forever. He watched as she wrapped her hands around his neck and legs around his waist to pull his close. Kevin whispered, "Are you sure?"

Laura replied, "Most definitely."

Kevin slipped inside to find himself in the softest, warmest heat he could ever imagine. He groaned, "You feel incredible." Laura's eyes rolled the back of her head and she moaned wantonly in delight at their intimate connection. Kevin moved in and out of her slowly and gently. Laura gripped the hair at the nape of Kevin's neck and hissed, "Faster!" Kevin obliged Laura's command and slid in and out as fast as a man his age could. Laura threw her head back against the pillow and cried out in rapture when she reached her peek. Kevin tried to continue pumping in and out of her, but soon found himself following Laura into the abyss of pleasure and screamed her name as he reached his zenith. He collapsed in a sweaty mess on top of her.

Once he rendered consciousness, he felt Laura gently rubbing her finger tips though his hair. Kevin moved to get off her, but Laura said, "Stay."

Kevin lay limp upon Laura and whispered, "Are you okay?"

Laura responded, "Amazing. How are you?"

Kevin rolled off her and Laura groaned when they separated. He pulled her to his side and pulled his sheet over them. "I feel fantastic," replied Kevin.

The two lovers laid in silence enjoying their close connection without words. Laura let her nails gently scratch his chest and Kevin softly traced circles on her back. Kevin broke the silence and asked, "Will you stay the night?"

Laura responded, "What about Victor?"

"He knows we are adults, Laura. He'll be okay."

"Then, of course I'll stay the night. I don't think I would be able to sleep without you by my side tonight."

"I don't have any plans of us sleeping tonight at all," Kevin said as he rolled back on top of her to begin round two.

A few hours later, Victor arrived home to find the apartment dark except for the candles lit around the living room. He turned on the lamp and blowed out the candles. While he was blowing out the final candle he heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Victor saw Laura in Kevin's button up barefoot and sex hair lightly tiptoeing down the stairs. "Well, well, we'll. What do we have here?", Victor teased.

Laura jumped in surprise. "Victor! You scared me!"

"It seems to me you are spending the night."

"Yes, I am. Right now, I am grabbing a snack. I'm starving."

Victor replied, "I bet you are."

"Victor, I adore you, but this is such an awkward conversation we are having right now," replied Laura.

"I hope you made the right choice, Laura," said Victor seriously.

Laura paused and sighed. "I talked to Griffin. He advised me not to tell Kevin about the last two years. He said since Kevin is getting flashes of memories that it would be better for him to figure out his memories on his own. Victor, he's my husband. I love him. I would never hurt him."

Victor replied, "But what if you did, Laura? You had sex under the pretense that you both just got to know each other. What if he puts it together that you are his wife and you knew all along? He'll be crushed."

Laura was holding back tears. "He'll understand, Victor. We fell in love all over again. He's the same man I married, but the only difference is that he is more confident this time. He fell in love with me again without knowing our life. If he gets his memories back, he will understand. I know he will."

"I really hope so, Laura. I really do," Victor said as he left to go to bed.

Laura finished her snack while contemplating Victor's words. Kevin would understand. I know he would. After cleaning up, she went back upstairs and crawled back into bed. She snuggled as close as she could to a sleeping Kevin. Laura gently caressed his face and whispered, "My life will always be better with you in it. Whether you remember me or not." She lightly kissed his lips and watched him smile in response before she turned over to fall asleep.

Author's Note:

This is probably the last update for about two weeks because I have two weeks of school left before winter break. So, I hope these three updates hold you over until the next one.
