    Chapter 65- Cake tasting


    “How is my fiancé, Doctor? How are his legs?” Tessa asked Aaron’s physiotherapist, Doctor Rebekah


    Williams.


    They had gone for Aaron’s usual therapy sessions. Ever since Tessa found out about his pain, she


    offered to go to his physical therapy sessions with him. She apanied him as he did. intense


    exercises to help him ovee the pain that came as a result of his injured legs.


    After two hours of treatment, the physiotherapist requested an audience with Aaron to report on his


    progress.


    “I think he’s on the road to recovery. The pain might have even lessened a bit, right, Mr. Wentworth?”


    Doctor Rebekah asked Aaron.


    Aaron nodded and replied, “Yes. I can stand for hours now and will only have mild pain in my legs


    after.”


    “How is your shoulder now? Does it still hurt?” Doctor Rebekah inquired as she scribbled something in


    her notebook.


    Aaron had also started therapy for his shoulder for quick recovery after Nora stabbed him. Although the


    wound had scabbed over and looked like it had healed, there was still some internal difort and


    pain.


    Tessa nced up at Aaron, awaiting his response. She also wanted to know because Aaron was an


    expert at hiding his pain so as not to worry her.


    Aaron nodded and said, “It’s also recovering.”


    When Tessa narrowed her eyes at him, he raised his hand and rolled his shoulder, saying, ” See?


    There’s no more pain.”


    “I saw you grimace when you carried the kids on your shoulders at the aquarium three weeks ago,”


    Tessa pointed out.


    “Yes. It hurt back then but it’s been three weeks and I feel fine. Don’t be worried, love,” Aaron.


    responded and gave her a warm assuring smile.


    Doctor Rebekah wrote down a prescription and handed it over to Tessa. She presented, “I’m changing


    his medication to a lighter dose. Since he’s no longer in too much pain, there’s no need for strong


    painkillers. Just make sure to massage his shoulder and legs regrly. Every night if possible.”


    Tessa’s eyes widened as she got the prescription. “Every night? That’s not possible.”


    “Don’t you live together? Mr Wentworth said you’re his wife,” Doctor Rebekah remarked as she looked


    between the two.

    Heat crept up Tessa’s face. She was about to say she was not his wife yet but Aaron beat her to it. He


    said, “She will be my wife in a week, so we will live together soon. We will find a way for me to get


    those massages in the meantime.”


    Doctor Rebekah nodded and instructed, “Well, since you’re getting married soon, I must mention that


    having regr sex will help strengthen the muscles in your legs, Mr Wentworth. Especially positions


    that require you to bnce on your legs.”


    “Really?” Aaron’s lips stretched into a wide smile. He nced at Tessa and remarked, hear that,


    cupcake? We need to do it regrly to help with my healing.”


    “You


    Tessa’s face blushed. She averted the doctor’s eyes and responded, “I’ll do my best to help him heal.”


    Aaron ced the side of his fist to his mouth and cleared his throat. He looked at Doctor Rebekah and


    sought, “Doctor, how regr is regr? As in… how often should we make love?


    Tessa blushed profusely. She nudged Aaron’s side and rounded her eyes at him, giving him the ‘what


    kind of question is that?’ look.


    Doctor Rebekah chuckled, knowing what Aaron was asking. Sheced her hands on the table. and


    said, “Well, since you’re both healthy, you can just go with the flow and do it whenever you can.”


    Aaron felt like he had hit the jackpot. His smile grew bigger as he nced at Tessa and proimed,


    “Since this will help with my legs… I think a normal dose of medication is ideal. So, how about doing it


    three times a day, in the morning, afternoon and evening?”


    Tessa ended up fanning herself with her hand. Aaron’s suggestion made her feel things. She crossed


    her legs to soothe the ache that was developing in herher region. It felt good to have someone


    craving and desiring her all the time.


    With a flushed face, she nodded shyly, saying, “Ok.”


    When they walked out of the hospital, both Aaron and Tessa’s phones chimed. It was a group text from


    Celia.


    Celia: [I’m waiting for you at the bakery. I made an appointment for cake tasting. Be at the location


    attached at exactly 2:00 pm.]


    Aaron and Tessa shared a look and smiled.


    Aaron shook his head andined, “Why did you put her in charge of our wedding? She’s torturing


    me.”


    “I just wanted to keep her busy. She’s been through a lot,” Tessa replied.


    She could rte to Celia’s situation because she had been hurt by someone she loved before.


    However, their situations were different.


    Celia was married and her husband betrayed their vows bymitting adultery.


    “Yeah… anyway. As long as she does everything you want, then I’m fine with it,” Aaron remarked as he


    recalled the conversation he had with Celia three weeks returned.


    ago when she


    She had said she wanted to move on and start afresh. She even reconciled with their father but she


    didn’t want to join thepany because she had been away for years. Instead, she got a job as an


    assistant ountant in Tessa’s architecturalpany.


    When they drove to the bakery, Celia and Michelle were already waiting for them at the


    entrance.


    “What took you so long? There’s so much to do. We also need to check on the bride’s wedding dress,”


    Celia said as soon as she saw them.


    Tessa smiled and replied, “There was traffic on the way.”


    “Ok. Let’s get started. So, I’ve picked out their most delicious vours and we are all going to taste


    them and choose. But the final decision will be made by the bride,” Celia mentioned as she turned to


    walk into the bakery.


    Just then, Aaron received an important call from abroad. Tessa noticed this and saw that he was about


    to ignore it so she said, “Why don’t you pick up your call? It looks important.”


    Aaron had a conflicted look on his face. The caller was a potential supplier for the oil business. he


    wanted to venture into. However, he didn’t want to miss any experience in their wedding. nning. This


    was their first and only marriage after all. He wanted to be there every step of the way.


    He put the phone on silent and told her, “I’ll call him backter.”


    Tessa knew that Aaron didn’t want to disappoint her by picking up work calls while they were together


    but she also knew he was a CEO who was responsible for so many employees. A simple issue like not


    picking up an important call could cause him tremendous losses.


    She nced up at him and suggested, “Why don’t I wait for you while you pick up the call? That way,


    you won’t miss out on the cake tasting.”


    Aaron smiled, his heart feeling warm at her words. He grabbed Tessa’s hand and they excused


    themselves for a minute. They went into the hallway where he answered the call.


    Tessa stood by his side the whole time, holding his hand. Her heart was beating like a drum as they


    nced at each other lovingly while he spoke with the supplier. She felt giddy. There was just


    something about this moment that made her heart soar with happiness,


    When Aaron was done with the call, he tugged at Tessa’s wrist before cupping her face and

    iming her lips, kissing her hard.


    “You’re so special, you know that?” He said as he pulled away from the kiss.


    Tessa’s face flushed and tingles settled in her core when she was kissed so passionately out of


    nowhere. Her stomach fluttered with butterflies and she smiled at Aaron, asking, “Are you done now?


    I’m sure Celia is about to blow her top.”


    Aaron chuckled and responded, “I would love to dy a bit just to make her angry but she’s helping


    with our wedding and I want it to be perfect… so, let’s go taste those cakes and then… “he leaned over


    and whispered in her ear, “You need to give me my afternoon medication dose. It’s best to start


    treatment immediately so that my legs heal quickly.”


    Tessa’s eyebrows furrowed. “Aren’t you supposed to take themter in the evening?”


    “Not that type of medication, love. The other one which is more effective… I need to exercise my legs,”


    Aaron said just as they entered the bakery.


    Heat crept up Tessa’s face when she realised what he was talking about. She nced at him and


    replied in a small voice, “Ok,ter.”


    “Later, when?” Aaron probed.


    “After the cake tasting,” Tessa whispered and rushed to take a seat in the visitor’s lounge.


    There was already a variety of cakes on the round coffee table in the centre. She sat on the couch and


    said, “Sorry about that.”


    Celia winked and remarked, “You don’t need to apologise. My husband and I used to sneak out for a


    quickie or two when we just fell in love.”


    Tessa’s face turned a shade darker but she didn’t correct her.


    Aaron who had just taken a seat next to her rejoiced inwardly, knowing he would be getting some after


    the cake tasting. He felt himself harden as he pictured the many ces they could do it from.


    He leaned over and grabbed a te from the table. Scooping up some of the cake, he turned to Tessa


    and fed it to her. He whispered, “Do you like it?”


    Tessa nodded, “Fruit cakes are nice and ideal for weddings. But the kids don’t like them.”


    Aaron picked up several other tes and fed the cakes to Tessa. He asked, “What about these other


    ones?”


    Tessa tasted the velvet cake and loved its vour. It wasn’t too sweet and was children


    friendly. She remarked, “I think let’s settle for the velvet cake.”


    “I think the carrot cake is good, Tessa. Have you tried it?” Michelle uttered. She was on her fourth piece


    of carrot cake. It was so good she couldn’t stop eating.

    “You seem to like it. How about I get you one big cake so you can eat it at home?” Tessa offered and


    Michelle’s eyes widened.


    “Yes, please!”


    The baker who was standing by the side noticed that Tessa had made a choice. She walked towards


    the couple and asked, “What type of cake do you want?”


    “We want the most expensive velvet wedding cake,” Aaron said without hesitation.


    “The most expensive one is $100000. It has about 10 tiers and it’s made like a castle fit for a queen,”


    the baker responded.


    “Yes, that one. My future wife is the Queen of my heart so that cake suits her,” Aaron proimed.


    Tessa’s mouth dropped to the floor and her heart did a backflip. She nced at Aaron with wide eyes,


    “$100000 for a cake? That’s too expensive, babe.”


    “For you, I would have still bought it if it was a million dors. You’re priceless, love. Whatever money I


    spend cannot hold a candle to you,” Aaron told Tessa while smiling at her. You’re my most precious


    treasure.”


    He took out his ck card and gave it to the Baker.


    The baker said, “Since it’s an express order, we would have to charge you for the short notice. I’ll add


    $10000 as an express fee.”


    “That’s ok,” Aaron replied.


    Tessa was still in shock when they left the bakery. They had to go and try on her wedding dress and


    see if it needed any adjustments. However, Aaron had other ns.


    He pulled Tessa to the side and suggested in a low voice, “How about we go somewhere for a


    quickie?”


    Tessa’s face blushed. She mped her legs together as her core clenched with need for her


    man. She was about to agree when Celia interrupted them.


    “Ok, brother. It’s time for you to leave. You’re not supposed to see the bride in her wedding dress,”


    Celia said.


    “What? No, Tessa and I have things to do-”


    “Not anymore. It’s girl’s time. Now go…. shoo!” Celia said, motioning with her hands for


    Aaron to leave.


    s, Aaron could only watch as Tessa was dragged away by his sister while he remained with his blue


    balls.


    He ended up hissing and muttering to himself, “I can’t believe my sister cockblocked me.’
