Chapter 7 *Last*

Sunlight streaked through the windows of bedroom, falling upon Shiva and Raavi who were in deep slumber. Shiva stirred in his sleep and slowly opened his eyes to see his world in his arms, snuggled into his chest wrapped in silk sheets. 

How can someone look so charming even in sleep?

Shiva thought to himself as he brushed aside a strand of hair that rested on her face. He felt happy waking up in her arms. He kissed on her nose. Sensing his touch, Raavi tightened her hold around his waist and buried herself deeper into his frame, perfectly fitting together like two puzzles of a jigsaw. A smile instantly appeared on his face as he exhaled a sigh of contentment, cherishing this very moment as he continued to watch his wife sleep peacefully in his embrace.

Raavi awoke from her slumber relishing in the comfort and warmth provided by her husband. Still stirring in her sleep, she slowly lifted her head to be pleasantly greeted by his deep brown eyes gazing at her like she was the moon and the stars.

"Good morning," Raavi murmured as she returned to her previous position burrowing into his rather comfortable chest once more.

"Good morning," Shiva replied huskily as he placed a light kiss at the top of her head.

Raavi suddenly opened her eyes in a jerk.

"Shiva, you are fine? How do you feel now?" She asked holding his arm, sitting beside him on bed.

"Raavi, I am fine. Relax." He said in a calm voice intertwining his fingers with hers and getting to sit on the bed.

"You sure?" She asked in concern.

Shiva smiled and caressed her cheek Raavi just looked down.

"You were scared, right?" He asked wiping her tears, which had not come out yet. "When you saw me lying on the hospital?"

Raavi chose to stay silent, tears finally rolled down her eyes.

"Kya mujhe maaf karna sach mei itna mushkil hai Raavi?" he asked holding her hand. "I have realised what I shouldn't have done. And trust me, I have died every moment in last 5 years. I was breathing but not living. I have suffered along with you, staying away from you was not less than a death punishment for me. Everything changed in these years, Raavi but what stayed constant was my love for you. I am still where you left me. I really want us to be a family, You, me and Shivin - our happy family."

She turned her face, he moved his hand down.

"Kya mere pyaar ko itna bhi haq nahi hai?" He asked when tears took corners of his eyes.

Now without wasting a moment, Raavi turned and hugged him tightly. He hugged back. They bone crushed each other with their hug, not letting the other go.

They broke the hug after a while and he kissed her forehead. Raavi closed her eyes feeling the touch of his lips against her skin. Then he moved a little cupping her face and kissed on both her cheeks. He claimed on her lips after that. It was soft and sweet till Raavi began to kiss him back. It turned heavy and passionate. Shiva stretched himself on the bed pulling Raavi upon him. He gently pushed her down until she lay on bed and he came on top of her. He pulled her shirt slightly from her shoulder and kissed all over neck. He again kissed her on lips. They intertwined their fingers, slip their hands above their heads and tightened their hold as their kiss went deeper. He tried to put his least weight on her. He broke the kiss when they were unable to breath. He kept his forehead on hers. Both breathed heavily as they looked into each other's eyes.

"I felt just... Just..." Shiva began.

"Just like the first time we kissed." Raavi breathed out.

Shiva nodded and dropped beside her as they both breath heavily. As soon as they calmed down, Raavi felt him moving towards her and in accordance, she moved towards him and they met halfway. His warm lips touched hers again and her body cried in bliss. Heat crept into her veins as she slid her hands from his chest to his neck, moving them to cup his cheeks. Shiva hugged her waist tightly, pulling her closer to him. Her body was flushed to his and she moaned as his tongue entered her mouth to meet hers. She could hear his soft groans and they made her feel like she was flying. They kept on kissing softly, their tongues fighting for dominance, their hearts dancing in the war, again.

Shiva rose without breaking the kiss, Raavi was now beneath him and he could feel her smile. Her arms wound around his neck. His hand brushed her breast over her dress and she moaned in his mouth. He cupped it softly and kneaded it slowly, as Raavi whimpered in pleasure.

His hand then slid down to her waist and under her clothing, his fingers touching her skin in a straight line, leaving a trail of fire behind them. Her heart beat quickened more, if that was possible, in anticipation to what was coming. She was alarmed but excitement shot inside her.

Shiva gently pulled her top off and started placing soft butterfly kissed on her jaw line and down her throat and cleavage gently licking the places in between. Raavi let out a moan which she was holding back.

Shiva got aroused hearing her moan, coming over her he kissed her once again with his hands roaming freely on her bare body covered with just her inner wears. Reaching her breast, he gently squeezed it earning a throaty moan from Raavi. 

Not wanting to be given time for shyness to involve again, she ran her hands all over his muscled back, as he continued to kiss her senselessly. As Raavi's hand moved towards his trousers, Shiva stopped kissing her and looked into her eyes, making her hands stop.

"Say it." He demanded in a strange voice.

"What?" Raavi asked.

"That your eyes speak."

"I love you. Just take me", she whined, arching impatiently. 

Shiva couldn’t make either of them wait any longer and kissed on her lips passionately. Raavi threw her head back. 

Breathless, Shiva rolled onto his back and tucked her in his arms by his side. Her hair strewn over his chest, she traced patterns on his abdomen as their breathing returned to normal. Shiva caught her wandering hand and brought it up to her lips.

"I love you, Mrs. Shiva."

"I love you too, Mr. Raavi"

They smiled at each other and leaned for another kiss.
