The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective - Volume 2: Their Paths Cross Again Chapter 312 312: Start All Over Again

“I am your man”

Marie: “…”

If she was shocked then that was an understatement. She was utterly astounded beyond belief.

‘Did I hear it, right? He was telling me that he he is my man?!’

Marie opened her mouth but no words came out. Her eyes were wide open, bewilderment surfacing in those eyes. Marie totally froze in her spot while looking at Black Shadow.

Black Shadow couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle seeing her cute and funny reaction. She looked so pure and innocent as of this moment.

‘What’s wrong with her? Did my words appear to be unreasonable and unbelievable to her? But hell I am serious!’ He marveled at that thought.

Then an idea popped up in Black Shadow’s mind.

“You don’t believe me huh. Then let me prove it to you.” He mumbled to her, his lips turned up into a c.o.c.ky smile.

Black Shadow suddenly held her chin and he leaned closer to her. After a few seconds, Marie felt his soft warm lips brushing hers. He kissed her!

He kissed her in that public place which was surrounded by university students. What if someone saw them? But Black Shadow didn’t care about other people.

He longed for this kiss. He missed her delicate lips. They’d kissed so many times before. He felt like he was already addicted to kissing her.

Meanwhile, Marie felt like her mind was on the brink of losing its rationality. He was driving her nuts. Her heart began to pound crazily once again inside her chest. It felt like it was about to explode from too much nervousness and excitement!

Black’s lips were moving softly and gently, savoring her. There’s no urgency just pure tenderness as he allowed his lips to taste every part of her lips.

Her stomach fluttered and her whole body stiffened. She felt like there were a thousand bolts of electricity traveling throughout her nerves.

For some unknown reasons, Marie couldn’t stop him as if she was also yearning for this kiss for so long. There was no resistance on her part. Her body loved this strange yet familiar feeling.

Seconds later, Marie’s lips moved on its own accord, responding to his action and mimicking his soft and gentle movement.

‘! I like how he makes me feel this way!’

Now she also raised her hands, holding Black Shadow’s face in place and pulling him closer.

Black Shadow smiled in between their kisses. He was enjoying it. He was glad that Marie didn’t reject him instead she was very accommodating.

‘That’s my girl! Hmm. Like what I have said I am a bad guy. And a bad guy like me would not hesitate to seize this moment and take advantage of this opportunity.’

With that thought in mind, Black Shadow’s free hand moved up to her back, pulling her closer to him as he deepened the kiss. The gentleness was long gone. He kissed her passionately and hungrily like there was no tomorrow.

When they broke apart, they’re both gasping for air.

‘That was so intense!’ Marie thought to herself, holding her chest while panting.

She looked down, avoiding his gaze. She felt embarrassed after what they did. What if he would think that she was an easy girl?

Seeing her acting shy like this, Black Shadow could not contain his laughter. Her blush deepened immediately, a red flush creeping over her cheeks.

“Though your mind forgot about me your body could remember.” Black Shadow stated with certainty.

‘Hey, something weird with his statement. It should be heart not body though your mind forgot about me your heart could remember.’ Marie thought to herself, gazing up to meet Black Shadow’s eyes.

“Now Do you believe me? I am your man!” Black insisted.

Marie wrinkled her brows, giving him a hard punch on his shoulder.

“Aw!” Black winced a little.

“If you are my man then why did you just appear in front of me now? You should have done that a long time ago. Why it took you two years? Why? Where have you been for these past two years?” Marie suddenly became upset. She bombarded him with questions.

Black Shadow could see the frustration in her eyes. He remained silent, not responding to her.

“Do you think I will accept you now just because you’ve sent me daffodils flowers every day for the past two years?”

“Oh maybe you are one of my loser ex-boyfriends before. Allen told me about my failures in relationsh.i.p.s in the past.” Marie said trying to provoke him.

But instead of getting mad, Black Shadow ended up bursting in laughter. He also remembered her story about her loser ex-boyfriends before.

“Hey, please don’t insult me by comparing me to those a*sholes who didn’t even know your true worth. Marie, believe me. I am not like them. Call me a loser but I won’t take you for granted unlike what they did to you by your loser ex-boyfriends.”

“Then explain! Why did you just approach me now? You should have done that sooner.” She asked him, demanding an answer.

“Oh my friends and my parents they didn’t mention you before. Are you telling me the truth?” Marie added as the realization came to her.

“Because I am your secret man. They do not know about me. We are in a kind of secret relationship. I was your man but not actually your boyfriend. We agreed to see each other and date. It was a mutual understanding.”

What Black Shadow was telling her right now was partly true. He just omitted the ‘spying thing’ which was the main reason why Marie had approached him before.

“What?! That thing happened in the past?!” Marie couldn’t believe it.

“Yes! You said you have to try this new set-up because you are tired of having failures in your past relationsh.i.p.s.”

Marie wished that the ground would open up for her right now and swallowed her whole. She felt very embarrassed.

“So…Are you telling me that we are not in that kind of a serious relationship? That’s the reason why you never showed up in front of me for the past two years?”

Well, thanks to that, Black Shadow now could use her statement as an alibi. Of course, he couldn’t tell her about the Azumi Twins and his true reason.

“Sort of. That’s one of the reasons.” Black Shadow said to confirm it.

“Then what’re the other reasons?” Marie asked with intrigue.

There was a moment of silence after that. After a while, Black Shadow faced her, eyeing her with his intense and penetrating gaze.

“The other reason I didn’t know what you truly feel about me before you lost your memory. I am not sure if you really cared about me or you were just pretending that you care.”

There was a heaviness in those words. Black Shadow was sincere. Until now, he kept on wondering if everything that happened between him and her was all lies and just part of her job. No genuine feelings involved.

Marie took a deep sigh. “How I wish I could remember so that I could answer your question.”

Black Shadow moved his gaze back to her face. A warm smile hung on his lips.

“Then why don’t we start all over again?” Black Shadow softly said to her.
