PART-27:
- Flashbacks: in Green italics
Still at Manali (Honeymoon phase):
It was almost evening by the time Khushi woke up. She looked around to see herself in her husband's arms. Turned towards her side, he was still sleeping with his right arm on her waist. His face on was on her right shoulder and Khushi could feel his deep breaths on the skin of her bosom...
"Wait a second", she thought, "on my skin?"... She then realized she was naked. She blushed profusely remembering what all happened between them a few hours ago... his eager kisses and touches... his skin against hers... the way they consummated their marriage... Khushi shied hard.
She looked at him fondly. She gently ran her left hand in his silky hair. She recalled the first time she saw him, then the other time at GI when she bumped into him and spilled her hot coffee over him...
She ran her hand over his naked chest. "It must have burnt him here", softly she kissed him on his chest.
Arnav frowned and moved a bit digging his face closer to her chest. He involuntarily tightened his hold on her waist.
Khushi bit her lip, "How am I going to face him now? After all that he did to me..." She extricated herself from his hold without disturbing him, and ran to the bathroom.
Feeling much better after a long shower that soothed her aching body, she walked out in a bathrobe to find him still asleep. She walked into the balcony of her suite and sat down in one of the cane chairs watching the Himalayas.
"How did I get so lucky?", she smiled, "Getting married to the guy I fell in love with, was nothing short of a miracle", "More importantly being able to win his love is completely your blessing Devi Maiyya", the sweet Khushi thanked her favorite God.
Her thoughts were broken by a call from inside, "Khushi", he said loudly.
Khushi was too shy to face him. She didn't move from the balcony. Not getting a response from her, Arnav was irritated. "Khushi, I know you are in the balcony. Come in right now", he shouted louder.
Khushi moved into the bedroom slowly but did not meet his eyes. He was lying on a side, propped up on his left elbow with the left palm under his face and smirking at her.
"Come back sweetheart", he invited extending his right hand. As soon as Khushi placed her hand in his, he closed his fingers over her palm and pulled her over himself. He held her by her waist and turned around so she was under him on the bed.
"Khushi, I love you", he looked at her intently for a couple of minutes and then started nibbling on her ear, trailing kisses from her ear all the way to her shoulder.
Arnav noticed Khushi being silent and red, "What happened sweetheart?", he asked playfully.
Khushi shook her head and stayed mum.
"Is it hurting there?", he asked mischievously.
"Arnav", Khushi hit him on his arm embarrassed at his question.
"What? I'm serious", he chuckled, "And why are you wearing a robe when I have nothing on?" he put his legs on her arresting her movement and pulled the knot of her robe in one go.
Khushi held the flaps of her robe tightly and yelped, "No Arnav". She was abashed at his brazenness.
Arnav slid his right hand inside her robe and held her bare waist massaging it with his fingers. He moved his hand up from her waist bit by bit and touched the objects of his interest. Khushi gulped at this touch and tried moving his hand away.
"No", he admonished her.
He leaned more on her and caught her lips with his. Arnav kissed her slowly and sensually, Khushi moaned into the kiss and raised her hands into his hair. Arnav opened the flaps of the robe right away exposing her chest and abdomen to his hungry eyes. He pulled back from the kiss and exclaimed looking at her naked beauty, "Splendid!"
Khushi realized what he had done and hugged him tight.
Arnav understood that she was shy about their lovemaking and decided to tease her a bit.
"Sweetheart I absolutely love you", he kissed her on her hair, "And I thoroughly enjoyed having sex with you. You are awesome in bed".
Khushi was pink on her face and tongue tied with his cheekiness.
"You are shameless", she said hiding her face in his chest.
"I know, actually I realized it recently myself", he said humorously, "And I plan on turning you the same way", he pecked her cheeks.
Arnav realized that Khushi was sinking more and more into his chest and decided to make her comfortable.
"Alright, I won't trouble you more", he said rubbing his hand on her back soothing her embarrassment, "What were you doing out there?"
"Just thinking", she said
"About?", he questioned
"Us", she said
"Meaning?", Arnav was not sure what Khushi was talking about.
Khushi adjusted her head in the crook of his neck and he placed his chin on her head. Arnav moved his right hand up and down from the nape of her neck, on the back towards her hips and down touching her all the way.
"Arnav", Khushi protested
"Shh honey", he said, "Continue talking, just relax in my arms."
As the robe was open now, she could feel his hand brandishing her naked skin and fanning her wants, but Khushi slowly eased herself in his embrace.
"So, what were you thinking about us?" he reminded her of their earlier conversation.
"About how far we came in life", she could feel him smile.
"Hmm", he said
"Arnav", she hesitated
"What is it honey?", he asked
"I.. um..", she paused
"Do you still have to shrink from telling something to me?", he asked lifting his chin off her head.
Tilting her head up with his index finger, he looked into her eyes, "You can tell me anything", "It could be something I hate the most, but we will still work it out.. together", he spoke sincerely.
Khushi was again amazed at his candor. She had a thin sheen of tears in her eyes when she said, "I love you Arnav"
Arnav's had a big smile on his face. He kissed her gently on her lips, and resting his lips against hers, he said, "I know honey", He closed his eyes savoring the moment, "Everyone of your actions since our marriage showed me that you love me", "but I am very happy today since you spoke it out for the first time".
"I am lucky Arnav", she said looking at his handsome face in admiration.
"We both are... honey", he continued, "Even though I must say you are luckier than me", he winked cheekily
Khushi giggled at his naughtiness.
"I... I fell in love with you when I saw you at the GI function last year", she said and blushed.
"Really?", he chortled, "that was a long time ago", "okay, so what happened then?" he encouraged her to talk.
"I was tongue-tied every time you saw me", she said lost in her thoughts, "But you never noticed me", Khushi was a tad sad.
"Of course I noticed you Khushi", he said his left thumb drawing circles on her cheek, "I just behaved like I did not", he laughed looking at her jaw-dropping expression.
"What? But why?", she shrieked
"Calm down my tigress", he laughed at her screech, "Well, because you are my boss's daughter and I thought you were a rich snob. So I wanted to avoid you".
Khushi eyes were downcast.
"Khushi, honey, ignore it", he said kissing her forehead, "I didn't know about you. I was stupid to judge you without having a clue about your true nature"
"Even when your father proposed the first time, that's why I refused you", Arnav shook his head at his folly, "Thank God, he pursued me again", "Otherwise what would have happened to me Khushi?", "Would any other girl have tolerated this ignoramus like you do?", he flirted to lighten her mood.
Khushi chuckled at his joke.
"I was... I was shattered when I found out about your engagement", she said in a low voice
"I was not interested in that girl Khushi", he interrupted her, "I agreed only due to Di's and Nani's pestering"
She nodded.
"Khushi, I am sorry that I did not treat you well in the initial days of our marriage", "But I fell for you gradually... and I fell for you hard Honey", he said seriously, "And I meant each and every word of what I spoke that day when I professed my love to you", "I cannot imagine my life without you Khushi".
He kissed her ardently, biting on her lower lip and thrust his tongue inside. After a while, when they pulled back for air, he noticed her lips swollen and smiled.
He kissed her again intent on showing his love and passion for her. Khushi breathed unevenly unable to take his sensual onslaught. Her whole body felt like jelly.
Pulling her closer with his hand on her waist, he lay on her so that their bodies were completely flush with each other. He rubbed himself on her naked body mildly. She gasped recognizing his desire.
"Do you see how my body reacts to you?", he asked her seductively, "I am crazy about you sweetheart", he rubbed his stubble on her cheek while Khushi's breath hitched.
"My beloved belle", he continued, "I want to make passionate love to you"
Khushi blushed deep red at his words.
"Unlike last time where I was very desperate to make you mine, we will take it slow this time", he whispered in her ear as Khushi trembled.
Arnav dipped his head down and bit her neck at a leisurely pace. He went down further and caught her bosom in his mouth sucking it.
"Arnav", Khushi cried as her body arched.
"Hmm", he said lazily as he enticed her with his ministrations.
Arnav teased her with his kisses and bites throughout her body, and took the hanging robe off her completely.
"I absolutely love your naked allure", he said eyeing her all the way from head to toe, "God, how are you so beautiful Khushi?"
Khushi was totally shy at his erotic actions and words but that did not stop her from melting in his arms.
When he finally thrust in her, Khushi was utterly devoid of all thoughts. As Arnav ravished her thoroughly, she shattered with him into a zillion pieces holding tight onto him for dear life.
Nothing else mattered to her... just him... just my love... my husband... my very own Arnav...
