That moment...
They lay there feeling each other's bodies slipping and sliding, his amused chuckles interlocked with her squeaks of protest, his arms and legs were long, she knew that before her body felt them in full glory. She was buttery soft and warm like sugar syrup.
Somewhere in exploration he lost his smile, and his caressing intensity increased, he let his fingers feel the springy un braided curls in the back of her neck, she arched trying to get his hand off
He used his thumb to feel under her collarbones
The unmistakable achy urgency swallowing both for a while she heard him whisper "U taste like nectar! leaving a trail of moist tongue on her neck
He realized she had never been intimate before. Her efforts were gloriously innocent and urgent.
"we need to get home soon he moaned hungrily
"Aaj choodiyon ko lekar nahi ladengi? he asked as they lay unspent and frustrated side by side, hooking an index finger under her stack
She clanked them trying to free her wrist
"Aapki strategy hai ki hamey daat padwayen she spoke accusingly
"I never thought of that actually.. he smiled impishly
He took her hand and placed it on his heart so she could feel the pounding
Her smiled vanished
She lowered her gaze self consciously
Her hand balled into a fist as she fought to take credit
"Avantika look at me"he ordered
"Kyon? Hum aankh band karke bhi sun sakte hain" she snapped
He laughed full throated. "Why are you so afraid? he asked in awe
"Umm.. I don't know" she whispered
"I promise... I will be gentle"
he whispered
She went up in flames upon hearing that
From the tip of her toes to the tip of her 15 inch long curls, she felt the sensation of being swept mindlessly towards him.
He lifted his head and kissed her cheek deeply. Heard her "Ufff
He lay back chuckling
"Weekend mein shave kyon nahi karte? "she asked as if he shoplifted or something
"Kyon ki I hate shaving intensely, aur hamey sirf weekend mein azaadi hai to chill he said with sparkling eyes
"Beard (permanently)? she asked shocked if she would see him in a Bandholz again
He nodded satisfied
"Gangster!!" she said dismissively, as she channeled her brain for that pub image in those retro sunglasses and the beer in hand
He took her hand and let it sweep his chin and jaw and watched her blush intensely as she imagined that scrape on her tender skin
"What do u think? his eyes questioned
"Mobster! "she said firmly, nodding about her assessment
"Not bad huh.. for a stodgy small town guy? " he taunted his eyes watching carefully for her reaction.
She smiled amused. "Aap mobster ko hip samajhte hain? she giggled
"Totally" he whispered, thrilled at being able to make her giggle
They were holding hands.
He heard "hamari Teeku incessantly the next four hours as the family talked about Avantika's quirks and habits and how deeply attached she was to Chandan
"Hamari Teeku family ki best baker hain Shyam said smacking his lips
"Haan but kitchen ko tornado struck bana deti hain " Bani giggled
Teeku nodded cringing
"Banayen beta... aaj inke pasand ki cake Shyam urged his daughter
"Aapki ma ne kaha hai aapko meetha pasand hai... aur har waqt ke khaane ke baad dhoondte hain, ek tukda gur bhi kha lenge Himani spoke with compassion and joy
"Ma hamari har baat ko kaafi bada kar deti hain he was embarrassed
"That's what Moms do beta Himani said smugly
"Your parents are kind, trusting people, aajkal ke zamaane mein kahan milenge aise log Shyam gushed
"My Dad is a principled man Harit spoke respectfully
"Aapki Ma ne usme unka saath diya hoga Himani agreed
"Aapke bhai Hemant bhi lawyer the na? Vibhu asked thoughtfully
Harit nodded
"He was supposed to take on the mantle Harit mumbled
"Aapko regrets hai lawyer banker? Bani had landed a juicy prospect
"Umm... I don't know... I enjoy what I do
"Lekin YOU KAY mein padhkar, Bareilly mein kya satisfaction milti hogi aapko? Bani was relentless
"U could say that... but I am just starting out he responded cautiously
"Hamari Teeku ko milenge wahan jobs? Itni achhi career chhod baithin Bani was suddenly protective of "hamari teeku a term she rarely used
Harit gazed at Teeku who met his eyes self consciously
"Avantika did have a great job he nodded
"Depend karta hai aap Bareilly rahenge ya Dilli shift ho sakte hain unka ghar to band pada hai Bani supplied unnecessary suggestions too soon into the marriage
"Beta... honeymoon par gaye nahi abhi taq, pehle honeymoon... bache... ghar... phir who sab Himani reminded herself and her DIL that the main goal was to see her daughter develop physical and emotional intimacy with the man she married
"Honeymoon ke baad bacha Mom? LOL! Bani smirked
"eventually you know...Himani was being made to go on the defensive now
Teeku did not look up from her phone as her pregnancy news was being actively discussed
"Teeku ki tarah cheerful aur milansaar aur affectionate hongey Shyam was sure about Teeku's baby
"Aur bhaiyon se ladne waali Dhruv reminded his dad
Harit chuckled
"Oh really?
"Aapne dekha nahi... jab hum bahar biz trips se laut te hain, inko agar suitcase mein kuch mila nahi... Dhruv acted like he was fearful
"Hum bus DO BAAR lade hain Teeku bristled
"DO times 100 Vibhu joined in
"Kya maangti hain waise? Harit asked her brother silkily as his eyes trained on his wife
"Kuch fixed ho to batayen bhi... kuch na kuch... inka kamra dekhen hain? Dhruv made a face
"Humse kuch nahi maangin hain yeh Meeta hugged her SIL
"But akeli Dilli mein bacha bhi sambhali hain aur job bhi Shyam was full of praise as he teared up
"Chandu se baat hui hamari, hamey bohot miss kar rahe hain Teeku's expression was forlorn
"Ja rahin hain aap Himani wasn't too bothered
"Kal nikaliye subah savere Meeta urged
"Nahi kal 11 baje hamey court rehna hai Harit said firmly
"Teeku ko hum le aayenge Dhruv was eager
"Ummm.". Teeku didn't want to be left in Roorkee.
