[MEMBERSONLY]

Chapter 15

The dim light of the moon peering into the room through the open lid of the window, the light breeze of night playing with the curtains were evidence of the emotions of two souls lying intimately in each others arms although they were still unaware their hearts had been entwined a long ago.

"Arnav"

The Long silence had broken with her whisper; pulling up herself she lifted up her head to meet with his gaze and he looked down still holding her in his strong grip.

"Hmm"

Playing with the strand of her hair he whispered back stealing a quick kiss from her parted lips and she gasped widening her eyes in surprise, His smile had flashed white even in the dim light and she had hit him playfully completely forgetting what she was going to say.

"Arnav"

"Ok, sorry"

Pulling back her in the crook of his arms he flashed another huge grin and she melted willingly accepting the hold of his strong arms.

"So what were you saying?"Giving her full attention he leaned close to her face and she gasped before lifting up her lashes at him, "I'm sorry I shouldn't have behaved like that"I know you can't take me with you as its your business tour---"

A rush of guilt ran down her spine and covered her beautiful face with the lines of sadness, he sighed uneasily and lingering his lips on her forehead planted a brief kiss before lifting up her chin to bring her face near to him.

"So what? My wife's wish is more important to me than any other commitment or work"

Bringing her hand near to his lips he kissed them gently to show the sincerity of his words through his gesture and she smiled blinking the unshed tears from her eyelids, she had never thought to get a person in her life like Arnav,he was a gem, so caring, so understanding, so honest with his words, giving his everything to her and demanding nothing in return but she still was hesitant to give him his all rights to her.

"Khushi"

He roused her from her thoughts, and regarded her with an intent look as she turned back in his arms to look at his face, she raised her hand and cupped her cheek, "I don't want to become a nagging wife though I acted like one, I know it's business tour and no one's wife is companying her husband except me, I don't want you to feel embarrassed about anything"

She sent him an apologetic look and he let out a brief sigh catching her hand to give a kiss on her hands, "I give damn about other people let them think whatever they want to think"

His knuckles touched and stroked the soft skin of her cheek as he lovingly looked at her face.

"Nothing matter to me except you and although, I would be busy there most of the time but whenever we'll get some time there are plenty of things we can do together"

His blunt teasing remark brought a color on her cheeks and she looked at him through her lashes, he was looking at her so intently that she felt her body burned with his gaze, her lashes fluttered in shyness, her lips shivered slightly as she turned down her gaze avoiding to look back at him.

"So what you say should we start practicing?"

Bringing his face near to her he whispered closed to her face and she smiled lifting her lashes to meet with his stare, there was so much trust in her eyes for him that he felt a rush of happiness into his blood, flipping her over in one graceful motion, bringing her beneath him. He leaned his head and lovingly staring at her face pushed her hair aside to give a kiss to her exposed throat, stroking his tongue across her flesh, she gasped and then smiled encircling her arm around his neck pulling his face towards her, a rush of hot blood ran into his veins bringing new desires, she was his wife, the woman he wanted to claim as his in every senses But he would keep his word even if it killed him. He would never hurt her, would never demand his right until she willingly gives him all the rights.

Keeping aside all the thoughts as of now he smiled, accepting her invitation, he brushed her lips against her slightly and smiled to hear her moan, His mouth slanted over hers, tasting, seeking, finding her tongue with his and she opened her mouth responding to his Passion, kissing him back.

Only when he thought to give her breath as he pulled back and dropping his head onto the pillow pulled her in his arms, still panting for breath she rested her head on his shoulder and both smiled contentedly drifting into sleep lying in each others arms.

***********************

The next morning after breakfast they left for airport as they had to take the flight and didn't want to late, too pleased with the thought of being with him alone for a whole week she didn't realize when the journey ended. She had roused from her thought when the car stopped in front of the huge bungalow; she looked bewildered for a moment when Arnav told her it was their own, she didn't know Arnav was too rich and thoughtful to buy a bungalow here.

Her gaze admiringly raised to get the full view of the huge bungalow, painted with creamy white and dark maroon color the pillars were standing exactly with the huge terrace, she tilted her gaze and suppress a smile to see long, thick old trees that were surrounding the huge bungalow, a garden with the colorful blossoming flowers enchanting the beauty of this huge building.

"Sweetheart, come on into the house, I'll show you around later"

He crawled his arm around her shoulder and turned her to look at him; she smiled willingly coming into his arms.

"When did you buy this?"

She raised her gaze up at him, her voice held the note of anxiety.

"My father had built up this, he was fascinated with beautiful, luxurious buildings, he was himself an architect "

She had felt the hint of pride when he talked about his father, he was surely much attached to his father she thought and suppressed a smile when his intent gaze dropped on her face and he asked softly.

"Did you like it?"

"Very much"

He had kissed her forehead leading towards the door pleased with her approval, Arnav held the front door open and unshed her inside the house; she stood and blinked her eyes duly impressed by the sight. The house was even roomier and beautiful than it looked from the outside.

"It was my real home where I lived with my parents until the day they left me in a terrible accident"

The memories brought unshed tears in his eyes as he looked his house with the sense of longing; she tucked her arm around his arm and rested her head on his shoulder.

"I really liked it, I would love to spend my whole life here with you but only if you want"

He smiled kissing her head, sliding his arm across her waist, pulling her for side hug. He had always avoided entering in his house since his parents died; even he left the city and shifted his business into other But today when he entered in this city with Khushi beside him he wanted to bring her here, in his real house except to go somewhere else. He had fled to escape tragic memories, but his home was still dear to his heart though he knew he would always feel the absence of his parents around him.
