The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 763

Hendrix slipped his hand effortlessly under her clothes, tracing up along Noelle's waist, inch by inch. He was more than familiar with this motion by now. After all, he had done this countless times in the past.

He knew Noelle's body better than she did herself. But in the heat of the moment, he forgot one crucial thing-Noelle had lost her memories.

She hadn't shown any resistance toward him, but that was only because she still had some lingering feelings for him. Some habits of hers-almost like subconscious reactions-remained. But those habits clearly didn't include being intimate with him right now.

When Hendrix touched a certain spot, Noelle reacted like a startled cat-her eyes flew wide open. The next second, she shoved him away. And as a bonus, she slapped him across the face. Now that was her true instinctive reaction.

Her slap wasn't particularly strong, but the crisp sound rang out loud and clear- especially in the silence of the hospital room.

Hendrix, however, didn't react. There was no anger in his gaze, no frustration. If anything, he looked like he hadn't had enough.

Noelle, on the other hand, immediately clutched her clothes tightly.
