She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Shane call her from downstairs. He was waiting for her. It was their date night. Ever since they'd gotten married, whenever he had the chance, Shane would take his wife out on Saturday nights.
Shayenne left her children's room and rushed down the stairs to join her waiting husband. When he saw her, his breath hitched at how beautiful she was in her gown. He was proud of his wife and always showed her off as his most priceless possession. Shane fell harder for her as the years passed and that flame she'd lit up in him had never died down and only continued to burn.
"You look beautiful, sweetheart," he said as he took her hand and helped her off the last step.
"Thank you," she replied with a shy smile.
He pulled her to him and wrapped his arms around her tiny waist. He held her tight against his body and brought his lips down on her plump ones. He kissed slow, deep and passionately, taking in her scent and taste. She drove him crazy and made his heart palpitate.
"With you looking like this, I might change my mind about going out tonight," he confessed and she laughed a little.
"Don't start, Mr. I took hours to look like this. Don't change our plans just cuz you're horny," she teased him and he smiled.
He was so handsome. A gorgeous man. He gave her butterflies whenever he smiled.
"Alright, baby. Anything for my Queen," he pecked her lips softly and now Shayenne was the one tempted to stay back.
"Where are you taking me tonight?"
"Somewhere beautiful and private."
"Oou~ sounds nice."
He grabbed her hand and they made their way for the door. The house was full of maids and there was a trustworthy nanny. So the children were in safe hands.
The door was opened for them and outside was a limo, waiting to escort them to their destination.

Shane took her to this beautiful rooftop restaurant at the very top of a five star hotel. He spoiled her endlessly, even when she didn't want him to. They were given a good table with a magnificent view on the busy and beautifully lighted city.
He pulled her chair and made sure she was comfortably seated. All this, she still felt like she didn't deserve but Shane did everything to prove her wrong.
"This is so beautiful, Shane~" she cooed admiring the view. "How do you even find these places?"
"It's a secret," he smiled and she smiled back.
"I see."
Their orders were taken and tasty champagne was served to them in the meantime.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you," he said and reached into his suit.
He pulled out two beautifully decorated invitation letters and gave them to her.
"Sloane is getting married at the end of this year."
"Oh my gosh, really??" Shayenne asked, surprised and pleased to hear this news
"Yes~ To her boyfriend of five years. You know? The actor."
"That's so amazing. I'm happy for her. We've not heard from her in a while since she's literally been travelling the world," Shayenne laughed.
"I know right. I'm happy for her. I honestly thought she would never think of settling down but I guess I was wrong."
"Same."
Their food was brought to them and Shane made a toast, raising his glass to his wife.
"To many more years in our happy marriage."
Shayenne smiled and raised her glass as well.
"To many more years in our happy marriage."
They then sipped from their glasses before eventually enjoying their well prepared dishes. After it all, they dance to a slow song on the fancy rooftop, amidst the stars and breeze. Shane was always very romantic with her and Shayenne felt like it was too good to be true. But it was true and it would take some time to get used to it. Even after five years.
"Honey," she whispered.
"Yes, sweetheart?"
"I was thinking of going to therapy," she confessed.
"Why? What's wrong?"
"I feel like my past is still holding me back from being completely happy. I want to close that chapter for good. I want to accept all the good things you have to offer to me without feeling like I don't deserve them. Josh ruined my confidence and made me feel like nothing good could come to me."
Shane was silent, listening to her.
"It's been five years and I hate that memories of him still affect my wonderful life with you today. I want it to stop," she leaned into him and rested her head against his chest.
"You're absolutely right. Fine. I'll have you meet my doctor, okay? He's good. He'll help you."
Shayenne was happy Shane had understood her.
"Thank you very much. I love you."
"I love you too."
They ended their date night in each other's arms before eventually returning to their home later that night.

Once home, the couple immediately went up to their bedroom. Once behind closed doors, he held her tight and kissed her passionately, desperate to make love to her like they did almost every single night. Shayenne wanted it to. It was inevitable.
He helped her out of her clothes while she undressed him too. Once her gown dropped to her feet, he carried her to their bed and carefully lay her down.
He got on top of her and kissed his way down to her naked breasts. He kissed them softly and took her nipple into his mouth. He suckled on it, making her moan and arch her back, wanting more and more of him.
"Ooh~" she moaned when he pulled on it gently.
He pulled away and took her other nipple into his mouth, repeating the same sweet process. He loved her scent. He loved the taste of her soft skin. He never got tired of her and it pleased him greatly.
