Before Zoe could respond, she was hauled up in Jay's arms.
"Ah!" Zoe yelled, her heart thumping wildly. "What are you doing, Jay?"
"Taking a shower."
"Let me go. Shower by yourself." Zoe struggled against his hold.
"You said that I rejected having a shower with you just now."
"I regret saying that now."
"Too late."
Jay carried Zoe straight into the bathroom.
She did not understand how a disabled man who needed to be in a wheelchair to get around could be so strong?!
She had no strength at all to resist him.
The door to the shower was shut and locked.
Jay asked, "Are you going to take off your own clothes or shall I help you?"
Zoe stared at Jay.
Was he being serious?
Had he not always… been reserved and restrained?
She remembered that when they were still living with the Levines back then. She had always been rejected by him when she threw herself at him.
Yet now, was he deciding not to put up an act any longer?!
Zoe suddenly smiled flirtatiously at him.
"I'll do it myself."
Jay's heart leapt.
He would never think of letting her off today.
They were a legally married couple and there were many things they could do that would be well within the law.
What was the point of shortchanging himself?
In fact, he felt that if he were to continue holding himself back, he would implode.
Nevertheless, Zoe's eagerness still made him slightly anxious.
He did not have much experience in this and was afraid he could not satisfy Zoe.
The last time they did it was a few years ago.
Things happened so fast that they did not even have time to cuddle the next morning before he had to leave.
And then… here they were now.
Zoe stood up from Jay's embrace.
