Part 60 – A WEEK!
Khushi turns and with her arms folded across her chest saying, "Fine, do you really mean it, that you will do as I say." Arnav inches closer to her, "Yes sweetheart I will, just say it."
She continues, "Good then you will not touch me for a week from now. And that includes that you will not kiss me, hold me, carry me and everything else. And yes you will eat whatever I cook, you will not stay angry...and" Arnav screams, "WAIT!...WHAT RUBBISH IS THAT...KHUSHI...you know I can't" Khushi now smirks, "It seems to me you are neither sorry nor do you regret what you did." Arnav now flabbergasted with her stupid condition says, "Of course I am sorry but you cannot do this to me." Khushi continues giving him a look that could kill him, "Well you never lose a challenge don't you Arnav, so why not this one?" Arnav now mad but had to plead with his Tigress, "Khushi you are killing me, please..."
Khushi decides to walk away, thinking was she loosing this battle, still not giving up, "Fine Arnav this means you were never sorry...and I better get used to this kind of attitude of yours, I guess I am your punching bag." and starts to walk off.
Arnav stops her reaching out his hand, but pulls it back, "Wait...OK but can't you start from tomorrow and reduce it to 2 or 3 days...I mean a week, you are crazy." Khushi smiles, "I always have been crazy, haven't I?" At last conceding defeat and thinking this was real torture and agony and what a penance, Arnav raises his hands, "Fine Khushi I'll do it, you have challenged me...I...I'll do as you say, I'll prove to you that I am sorry. Anything else Mrs. Raizada?" Khushi turns back, "Good. Let me make myself very clear again since you may have not heard me clearly - You will not touch me for a week from NOW. And that includes that you will not kiss me, hold me, carry me and make love to me. And yes you will eat whatever I cook, you will not stay angry...and you will have your medications and talk to me...ahh... Yes and you won't come home late just to avoid my presence." He was angry and fuming. Khushi was enjoying seeing his sorry state so said, "Arnav this fast will probably bring you to your senses." And then sweetly says, "Jaan shall we go and eat dinner with everyone?" He knew it then she would make sure he failed this test, but why did he have this sinking feeling that she would win? He was seething with anger, but put up a straight face and said, "OK, let us go." They go down together and join everyone for dinner. She made sure she sat next to him in close proximity.
Khushi was all sugar and spice all evening. Laughing and joking with him and everyone around. She really had him by the tail.
After dinner she got him his glass of milk and asked him to have his medications. She changed into the peach silk negligee, which was modest but still clung to her like second skin. She spoke to him like nothing had happened, "Arnav I am required to attend lectures every Monday at University."He answers, "Ok let the driver know about your timings."
She puts off the night lamp and tries to sleep. He would never know that this was difficult for her too. He put his side of the night lamp on and starts to read a stupid book, which did not make sense to him. Damn,...this was only the first night...a WEEK...how the hell was he going to keep his hands to himself when she was lying down beside him? Khushi Kumari Singh Raizada. She was his wife in the true sense.
He put the book aside abruptly and tosses and turns for more than an hour. He turns towards her, "Khushi this is madness...please stop it." She pretended to be asleep.
Khushi got up early than planned. She did not sleep a wink and neither did Arnav.
Khushi showered and had her head toweled. She comes out and Arnav notices the water drip wet her pretty kameez. He caught the whiff of scent. Gosh this was killing seeing her first thing in the morning. Her soft lips now smiling at him with a twinkle in her eyes, "Good morning Arnav, aren't you going for your jog." He looked at her, "Oh yes I am now why should I miss that pleasure where I get to see some real nice chicks on their morning walks. Of course I am going." She was fuming but said, "Oh have fun then will you? You can jog for an extra hour if you want to."
Arnav goes on his jog and returns on time. He needed to see her at least. She checks his sugar and he comes down for breakfast after his shower. She lovingly serves him breakfast and goes back to the room to hand over his clothes. When she enters their bedroom he was standing there in his boxer shorts and bare chested pulling out his shirt from the wardrobe. She knew he was now playing his mind games. She averted her gaze and spoke as casually as she could muster, "Wait I'll get it for you." Goes close enough to him so that he could feel her breath on him, but does not falter, pulls out the shirt, the trousers were on the bed and hands it over to him. The shirt was also out but he chose to wear another one just to irritate her. She turns around and says, "Since you do not need me for anything I will go and help out Di, she needs me." Arnav stops her, "Wait!" he walks up to her close enough to kiss her but then moves back himself and says, "You better be prepared after a week, I won't spare you Khushi." She looks at him with all her love and innocence. She laughs seeing his agony, "its Day Two Jaan, I'll worry after Day Six." winks and walks away.
Damn he would need a whole lot more cold showers and jogs to control his raging hormones and vent out his frustration. She was killing him with every move and word that came out of her mouth. How come he notices her so minutely, even her eye lashes were enticing him!
She walks out feeling the same, she longed to touch him, but she had to teach him a lesson, never mind if she got burnt in the bargain.
She reaches him to the door calling out to Drive Safely. At the office he was irritated and kept barking on the phone and to the staff. Aman thought for sure the husband and wife must have fought.
Here at home Khushi immersed herself in her books trying to keep her mind off him. It was hard.
Arnav made sure he reached home on time, just so that she would not extend the bloody week!
She lifts her head up from her book to see him standing in the bedroom. Khushi surprised says, "Oh you are home early. I'll get you a coffee." She gets up to go and he holds her hand, she frowns so he lets it go.
Arnav replies, "Yeah I had too, or else you might extend the week to a month!" Khushi walks off giggling behind his back to get him the coffee. He is learning thought Khushi.
Khushi brings him the coffee. She asks him sweetly, will you help me with my studies. Arnav thought, now how could he refuse. Maybe she would relent. So Arnav and Khushi sat down to tutor her a bit.
Khushi notices he was wearing a white long sleeves T-shirt and his house tracks. She has seen him in that outfit so many times, but why did it look so good on him today. The T-shirt covered his torso like second skin that stopped at his waist. Those hands knew every curve of her body. The tracks low enough to reveal the boxer waist band. His long legs stretched out in front of her. Sometimes his weight just crushed her. Oh no, where were her thoughts travelling. She heaved a long sigh and got up to pick her books from the desk and so leaned over the table. Hey Devi Mayya support me in this endeavour thinks Khushi. Arnav looks at Khushi sitting there in her chair, leg over leg placed on the coffee table, and when she stood he notices the shape of her thighs that were exposed from the long side cuts of her kurti. His eyes travel and scan every part of her, her butt jutting out whilst she leans for the book and the cleavage exposed with the act. Her kurti was a simple cotton one and yellow in color. The dori dangling from the back without any pom poms touched her back. It fitted her perfectly stretching out over her breasts that were right now heaving faster than normal. She felt those eyes on her, and did her best not to stare back. She sat back in her chair and buried her face in the book trying to act normal playing with the pencil in her hand. She needed something to distract her thoughts. This was a bad idea or was it? He looks at her face, she was a little more than an arm's length away and he couldn't touch her. His eyes rest on her very kissable mouth. She was biting her lip. Khushi says, "Can we start?" and then looks at him. She finds him starring at her, Arnav with his eyes in slits, "Where should I start from? The lips, my doves or..." She stops him, "Arnav I am talking about my subject. Not..." Arnav continues with a drawl, "Not what Baby, you said I cannot touch you and insisted that I talk to you...so I am doing just that…..your lips are right now waiting to be kissed and I am dying to kiss them, you want me to trail my fingers over those lips and down your breasts, and I"...She gets up with a jerk without looking directly at him, "Fine if you don't want to teach me, I am out of here." and bangs the book firmly on the desk. "I'll manage on my own." She desperately wanted exactly what he said, but couldn't afford to buckle under his love games. He still had to learn. He was amused and mad that she did not give in. God where did she muster such control! Just speaking about what he felt made him burn with wanting her more. Arnav commanded, "Sit Khushi. I am not going to lose this battle so soon and give you the pleasure of winning."
Oh thank you Devi Mayya thought Khushi. I will fast another day just for this hour to pass.
Part 61 – When We Touch
And so both Khushi & Arnav got down to tutoring and learning. Her husband had brains but no patience. He could never be a teacher to our kids. Never! Oh no...back to books, not babies...please no...What did he just say, "Arnav just explain that to me again!" Arnav, "Khushi can't you get it, oh gosh...open up your mind and think..." Khushi thinking ok first let me imagine Arnav to be her school math teacher Venkat Sir - the serious bald teacher at school! Yeah this made things easy! She smiled sweetly. The trick did it. And so Khushi listened attentively when Arnav explained concepts and equations to her. At times she found him staring, but just averted her gaze and concentrated as much as she could.
After they were done, Khushi thanked him and went down to get dinner ready. She would make him some kheer. Poor guy he was suffering with her crazy deal. But wasn't she as well. It was all good as long as he did not know that.
The night came, and Khushi wished him goodnight and turned to sleep. He calls out, "Khushi cant you change it to three days...I mean this is torture, come on Baby...I am really sorry...I promise I won't ever repeat this." Khushi looks back at him, "So you aren't repenting really." Arnav continues, "Listen, fix an appointment for tomorrow and we will go, I swear." She ignores him and says, "Arnav just sleep will you I am not going to fix any appointment until this deal is over" moving farthest away from the bed.
Arnav tossed and turned and cursed all night long. And so did Khushi. He had got up twice to drink water. He was restless. Placed the pillow over his face and tried his best to sleep a little before dawn broke out.
Two nights had gone by and it was Day Three of the Deal
Khushi couldn't sleep as well. So got up around 5 am and goes to shower. Arnav hears her get up and after a few minutes listens to the shower being put on. He gets up, that's it! He was willing and ready to lose this battle.
Arnav steps into the bathroom which was filled with steam from the hot shower on. He stood there bare-chested only in his black boxer shorts. With the shower on Khushi did not hear a sound.
He looks at the silhouette of Khushi under the shower washing off the soap lather from her naked body. He wanted to claim her here and now. Her eyes were shut and the hands were raised to her head busy washing her hair. Her breasts lifted with the act. The partly smoked screen divider separated them.
The water ran down the breasts and her buttocks like hills. He gulps hard and moves forward to cover the distance. She moves her hand on the shower tap to shut it, his hand rested on hers and they shut the tap. She opens her eyes,……. the water still dripping down her body…... Her eyes widened. She couldn't move nor speak. He had gotten wet too with the last bit of water from the shower. He brought his hand to under her nape of her neck pulled her to him and kissed her hard and passionately. Their lips seeking…… tongues searching and coaxing and demanding for more. He lifts his head up. He looks in her eyes and they knew they had lost and won. He then takes the towel and lets her wrap it. She was shaking. She was not able to tuck it properly under her arms and her front. He takes the ends and tucks it in. His fingers brush past her breasts. It sent shivers down their spines. He then takes the head towel and towel dries her hair lovingly and then wraps it around her head. He then carries her but whilst on his way out picks up the body lotion that he had removed when he had entered. He gently lays her semi wet body down on the sheets of his bed.
She whispers, "Arn..." He places his fingers on her lips. He then takes the body lotion pours a dollop of it in his palm and starts to sensually apply to each of her hands starting from her fingers. He was killing her softly with his touch. His eyes never left her face. He then loosens the towel around her body but does not take it off. He then slowly and with a rhythm starts from her foot and rubs the lotion on her feet and way up to her knees and further reaching about half the length of her thigh. Her hands long to touch him. He then completes the other leg and takes off the towel. She lay there for him to have and to hold, her exquisite beauty that was his. He turns her making her lie on her stomach. He pours a dollop of the cold lotion on her back creating a tickle...and again with his master strokes sensually rubs in the lotion starting from her shoulders, her back, her inner arms...and her lower back and downwards moving towards her inner thighs. Every inch of her skin was caressed. His warm hands lingering on her body created sensations in her that she would never forget. She clutches the bed sheet. And then he whispers into her ears "DON'T YOU EVER TELL ME NOT TO TOUCH YOU, don't you ever do that again." She was losing control reaching a feverish pitch, she couldn't take it any more so turns and captures his hand, giving out a soft cracked moan, "Jaan..." He was now sprawled besides her……… she brings his hand up to her face his eyes darkened with hunger. She arches closer and holds him seeking his lips wantonly...wanting him more than ever before. He kisses her back hungrily whilst his hands seek every part of her whispering, "Damn it Baby I missed you." fervently raining kisses all over her face and then lowers himself to seek all of her with his lips. He unleashes his anger for keeping him away by punishing her with his bites and demanding more of her...his caresses was rough and it hurt. She cries, "You're hurting me." Yet the pain mingled with his passion made her dizzy her hunger wakened by his roughness. He hears her whisper, "I missed you too Arnav." He calls out her name. Their bodies wet, warm and hurting lead to a raging stormy morning.
He lifts his face up and places a soft tender kiss on her swollen and bitten lips whispering, "Love you I think I hurt you today." Her sweet fragrance lingered on him. She smiles and touches his face. He pulls the sheet over her. And then she asks, "So you won or lost." He puts his head down on her shoulder and cracks up with a short laugh, "Ok you won Love." "But...But...I did not lose out on my three days of without you." Their fingers entwined they look at each other with love knowing they had lost at a game and yet won something beautiful. She says to him, "you know its morning, and I have to shower again and you got to go to work." Arnav dejected, "Wish I could keep you tied up here all day for all the nights I lost out." She complains, "Its only two nights!"
As each day and night passed by Khushi and Arnav gave and surrendered their souls and bodies to each other...whilst soaring the skies to new heights of desire and passion.
