Chapter 3: Awakening

田所 恵 xタクミアルデイニー

Leaning on the door frame that led to their shared bedroom, Takumi could not help but give his wife an appreciative stare. Her dark, wavy locks tumbled upon her back like gentle waves as she released them from the bands that held it up earlier that evening.

It always, completely, mesmerized him to watch her get ready for bed.

Her robe loosely hanged from her shoulders as she delicately applied lotion all over her body. One leg was extended, giving him a great view of her shapely appendage. Her creamy skin called out to him, just begging to be touched.

He licked his lips, thinking that it was the most sensual act she's ever done and the ironic part was, she did it without ever realizing it. He tried his very best to not pounce on the unsuspecting woman, who was still unaware that he was standing there.

Returning to Japan had been the right choice, and as he looked on at the sultry ministrations of Tadokoro Megumi, he could confidently say that he had no regrets leaving Trattoria Aldini behind to Isami.

He had almost lost her once before, and vowed to never do so again. Not being with her almost destroyed him, and without the intervention from his younger twin and their former classmates, he thought that he would probably still be a shell of a person.

He loved her more than anything in the world.

With her back still turned to him, Takumi decided that it was time to make his presence known.

"Tadaima." The blue-eyed man knelt on the middle of their soft bed, and hugged her from behind, her distinct, mellow scent drifted to his nose and he wanted to bury his face at the crook of her neck.

"Welcome home Takumi." She angled her head a bit in an effort to look at her husband but failed.

Megumi closed the lid on her lotion and put it beside her designated side table. She found that her movements were being restricted by the hold her spouse had on her but she didn't mind. She loved how affectionate her high school sweetheart was. He had always acted on his love for her and she had considered herself lucky to have such an obliging partner.

She sighed contentedly before speaking.

"I was thinking…" She trailed off, uncertain on how to go about asking her question.

They've been together for years, albeit for a time they did split-up, but they managed to get back together and decided to marry soon after. He had surprised her at her doorstep one evening and had proposed right then and there. She had cried and managed to say a yes through her sobs.

She felt blessed for being the one he chose to spend his whole life with and didn't want him to think that she was being ungrateful with her request.

"Hmm?" He buried his face deeper and held her tighter.

"Would you… Do you…" She could not bring herself to say it out loud just yet.

"What is it Megumi?" He whispered seductively in her ear and afterwards, he started to trail small kisses on the side of her neck and on to her now, bare shoulder. The blonde tried to keep from smiling when he heard his wife gasp. Purposely placing his lips on a sensitive area in order to elicit a reaction from her, and it did not disappoint.

She tried to wiggle away from him, his mouth and hands were beginning to be a distraction, and he reluctantly let her go for the time being. He leaned lazily on their headboard as he waited for her to continue whatever it was that she was trying to say.

He gazed at her lovingly, trying to keep his longing, for more contact, in check.

"Do you think it's time?" She folded her hands on her lap as she positioned herself in a way that she was face to face with him. It's been a little over a year since their nuptials but somehow, there were times wherein she still felt nervous around him. It was endearing in a way.

Takumi didn't understand what his wife was trying to say so he opted to raise an eyebrow instead. He watched the lovely woman before him attempt to steady her breathing and felt even more compelled to have his way with her when she bit her lip nervously.

Megumi's innocence made his blood boil in a good kind of way.

"Should we try for a baby?" There. She finally said it and patiently waited for the words to sink in.

A dozen questions bombarded her mind.

What if it was too soon? What if they weren't ready? What if she wasn't good enough to become a mother? What if he didn't want to have a child?

They never talked about it so she never really knew how he felt about starting a family. She always believed that he would make a great father so what now?

To say that he was taken aback would've been an understatement, and she almost tried to take her words back, but then he gave her one of his breathtaking smiles. The man could not hold it in any longer as he quickly pulled the woman towards him.

The idea of having a mini version of his wife, and possibly him, flashed before his eyes. A response wasn't needed because she already knew the answer.

Pinning her to the bed, Takumi proceeded to kiss her heatedly.

"Shall we start now?"
