Chapter Twenty Two

Although the night before had been unfortunately interrupted, it didn't change the fact that we had taken a step forward in our marriage. We weren't at the point where Arnav could carry me through the threshold of our home, but inside, I believed that we would get there soon.

Since the mood had been cut short due to NK's phone call, we ended up simply going to bed, cuddled together. Like the besharam I am, I didn't bother putting my t-shirt back on and had simply laid beside him. When I woke up the next morning, however, I quickly slipped out from his hold and put my shirt back on, not feeling as brave and daring, my besharam mind still in sleep mode.

On schedule, the workers arrived right on time, cleaning and preparing breakfast. By the time Arnav woke up, the workers were just leaving, breakfast ready and waiting. I found it somewhat hard to meet Arnav's eyes. I mean how could I not, he saw me half naked last night and had my nipple in his mouth!

And I couldn't wait for him to do it again!

As I set our plates for breakfast, Arnav came behind me and wrapped his arms around me, burying his face in my hair.

Now this was definitely different than how our past few mornings have gone.

"Morning," he murmured into my hair.

"Good morning," I said softly.

I couldn't help it, the thought of last night was making me feel shy!

Just as I went to place a dollop of cool whip over the cut-up strawberries, my body was turned around and Arnav's lips found mine. I like this! These sudden kisses in the mornings was beginning to become my favorite way to start the day. It was just perfect!

Things were beginning to heat up, and honestly, as much as I wanted to continue this, I knew I had to stop it. After all, breakfast was the most important meal of the day! So with great effort, I pulled back, however Arnav's lips trailed to my earlobe and he nipped and sucked.

"Arnav, breakfast," I tried to say without moaning, but it was incredibly hard.

"Hmm."

He let go of me and met my eyes. Only then did we both realize the spoon of cool whip still in my hand, and Arnav took it. He placed the dollop over the strawberries and placed the spoon down before turning his attention back on me.

"I'm sorry that airhead ruined our night," he said softly.

"It's okay," I smiled softly. "Don't be mad at him."

Arnav rolled his eyes and placed me on one of the stools before sitting down himself. We both dug right in, losing ourselves in conversation.

"So what's the plan for today," I asked.

"Well, I was wondering if it was okay with you if I got some work done today?"

I couldn't help but to smile. It was evident he felt bad for asking and slightly guilty. But work was work, and I understood that. "Sure, that's okay."

He's a hotshot CEO after all, he had a business to run. I didn't mind him putting his focus in his work now and then, and I most certainly didn't mind now. So while he worked away in the study, I watched some TV and relaxed, texting Payal, trying to control her as she kept freaking out over the number of websites that had mentioned my marriage to Arnav. I mean seriously, she sent like about 20 links from different websites about articles on us. How ridiculous!

Yet how odd.

It was slightly past lunchtime when Arnav rejoined me. We both ate, watched some TV, and I caught up with some work stuff. After all, since I would be going back to work with him, I needed to know what was going on with his company.

"Its our company now," he said.

Whoa, what?

"Khushi, you're my wife now, you're a part of this family. So what's mine is yours as well."

My eyes widened. "What-? No, Arnav, I couldn't-"

Arnav took my hand in his, giving it a light squeeze. My eyes dropped down to our engaged hands before meeting his eyes again.

"What's mine, is yours. Its our company."

My eyes searched his, hoping to find that he was joking about this, but nowhere was there any evidence to be found that this was a joke. "That seems awfully unfair," I whispered.

Arnav tilted his head in confusion.

"I mean... you've worked so hard, you've made AR what it is with a lot of hard work and I... it just doesn't seem right," I said softly, looking down at my lap.

With his free hand, Arnav caressed my cheek. "We both worked hard to get to where we are. And I know that with you by my side, AR will go even farther."

My eyes met his.

"Everything that is mine is yours, Khushi. Everything."

I searched his eyes once more, hoping to find something which meant that this was a joke. I don't know why, but it was just too much. I mean, his company now also being mine? It was just too much! And as amazing as this honeymoon is, it's definitely expensive and just too much. Coming across so many things... I don't know if I like it or if I'm worthy of it.

But if everything is supposedly mine....

"Are you," I asked softly.

His eyebrows scrunched. "Me?"

I nodded. "Are you mine?"

Arnav slightly pulled back, his eyes staying on me. He simply looked at me and I looked at him. I don't know where this bravery came from, but I wasn't letting go of it yet.

Without a word, Arnav pulled me over to his lap so that I straddled him. My eyes widened as he did, surprised by this position. After all, I've never straddled a man before!

Eep!

One hand went to my waist as the other caressed my cheek. "I am all yours."

I couldn't help the tiny gasp which had escaped from my lips. How could I not, especially with the intensity he had in his eyes as he said those words?

Neither of us said anything for a moment, just looking away at the other.

If he is all mine... I want to be his as well.

"I... I want to be yours as well," I nearly whispered.

Bravery please! Please be with me!

Arnav's eyes slightly widened as he realized what I really meant. He looked at me for a moment, not saying a word. Seconds passed, but he said nothing nor did anything. And again, my heart caved.

Maybe it just wasn't meant to happen.

I tried to get off of him, but Arnav held onto me. I looked at him in confusion and before I could ask what he was doing, his lips captured mine. A moan escaped from my lips, getting lost in between us. His lips found my neck and made its way to my earlobe, sucking and nipping.

My hands reached out and grabbed onto his muscular biceps, another moan escaping from my mouth. I felt something beneath me by my thigh. It only took a matter of seconds to realize what it was, and my eyes widened.

Is that-? Oh my... are we really about to...?

Arnav bit down on my neck and my hand automatically reached up to his hair, grabbing onto it. At this point, especially at this point, i had no idea what number hickey this was and there was no point in counting them because I knew there were too many to come in the future.

His hands found their way under my t-shirt but then he paused. "Not like this," I heard him murmur.

Not like this? "What-?"

Arnav suddenly stood up with me in his arms and my legs automatically wrapped themselves around him. My wide eyes looked into his hooded ones as he began to walk us away. It only took a matter of seconds to realize that he was taking us into the bedroom, and my heart started to beat erratically.

So that's what he meant, he wants to do it properly in bed... holy f-!

The thought was cut short as my back met the softness of the bed. Arnav hovered over me, gazing at me with an intensity I have never seen any man look at me with before. I felt my cheeks heat and I turned away.

I feel like a blushing bride once more!

Arnav's lips met my neck and I gasped, my hand making its way into his hair. He kissed and nibbled on it, sure to leave yet another mark.

Double hickey? Okay!

Oh lord I wanted him, more than ever! I wanted this now more than ever, and I think it's actually going to happen! I mean the workers had already been gone for the day and our phones were in the other room, so if it rang, we wouldn't be able to hear it, at least, not so clearly.

Holy moly, it's really going to happen!

And no matter what, I wasn't letting this moment pass; think what you want, I want my husband.

And it seems like he wants me as well.

Pulling away, Arnav picked me up, making me sit. He covered his lips with mine, before reaching down and taking a hold of my shirt.

Eep! And I didn't even put my bra on today!

Letting go of my lips, Arnav took the shirt off of me, revealing my upper half to him once more. The way he was looking at me made me want to melt, admiration filling his eyes.

"You're very beautiful," he whispered.

Blush filled my cheeks. "Thank you," I nearly whispered.

Arnav met my eyes. "You never have to thank me Khushi. Ever."

Oh?

His lips met mine briefly before he had me lay down once more. He reached for the hem of his T-shirt and pulled it off, revealing that oh so gorgeous chest of his.

My fucking geez-us, he is chiseled!

Good lord, I wanna touch him! So why shouldn't I?

Reaching out tentatively, I placed my hand on his chest. He felt so smooth, every ridge and every curve feeling warm and perfect. I looked up into Arnav's eyes and gave him a small smile, letting him know that I truly admired him. He returned a small smile of his own and kissed my forehead.

"Are you sure you're ready?"

There was concern in his voice, it was very much evident, not to mention very sweet of him. Caressing his cheek in my hand, I had him look at me.

"I want to be yours just as I want you to be mine."

Arnav gave a soft smile and kissed the palm of my hand. "I already am yours."

"In all ways," I nearly whispered.

Arnav's eyes stayed on mine as he gazed away at me. There was a mixture of emotions in them, one in particular that surprised me, but I needed to know for sure if he truly felt this way.

The way I felt for him.

"Arnav I... I... I love you," I confessed.

His eyes widened as the words left my mouth. I couldn't believe that I had actually said it - that I had confessed to Arnav what I had been speculating for some time, nor that I actually felt this and was telling a man this.

"I love you," I sighed.

Arnav's lips crashed down to mine and I don't think he has ever kissed me this intensely before! One hand caressed my cheek while other was at my waist. When he pulled back, he rested his forehead against mine.

"I love you too," he confessed.

As a gasp left my mouth, my heart began to beat erratically.

Holy-! He loves me? He really loves me?!! Oh my-!

His lips met mine once again and I caressed his cheek, tears threatening to fall from happiness. Never had I felt such a feeling like this before, and to be loved by someone you loved in return, was just such an amazing feeling and I couldn't be happier!

But for now, these were words - and I wanted to prove them.

Kissing him once more, I pulled back. I took hold of his hands and guided them down to my pajamas. He glanced at me briefly before looking down at the waistband of my pajamas. When his eyes met mine again, I could see that he wanted my permission, so I nodded, and once I did, his hands went below the waistband of not just my pajama bottoms, but of my panties as well. He began to push them down, and I lifted myself up slightly, allowing for Arnav to entirely remove it, leaving me in nothing but just my naked form.

I felt my cheeks blaze from blush and I looked away. This was absolutely new territory for me and as much as I want this, I was nervous out of mind! It was when I felt his hand at my leg that I glanced back at Arnav. His hand slowly brushed up alongside my leg, sending shivers up my spine, causing me to shudder. There was a look of pure admiration in his eyes, and it didn't help with my fiery blush at all! His hand continued its trip, going all the way to my waist and resting there.

"Absolutely beautiful," he whispered, his gaze still all over me.

Eep!!!!!!!!

His eyes met mine briefly and we gazed at each other. My heart thumped in my ear and I didn't know if I could take such an intensity anymore! Pulling his gaze away from me, Arnav looked to the nightstand. He reached over and opened the top drawer, rummaged through it, and pulled out a condom.

Oh my devi-! It's really gonna happen. Is it really truly going to happen?! No disturbances, nothing at all? Yes!!!

Maneuvering himself in between my legs, Arnav pulled down his sweats and boxers, revealing his length, and my eyes widened on the spot.

Now, I've had my fair share of porn, so I'm not exactly clueless when it comes to the topic of sex. Because of that, I've seen a fair share of penises but what I'm seeing on my husband... may just tear me apart.

Oh yeah... that big.

I gulped down the last bit of courage I had as I stared - that's right stared! - at the manhood of my husband's and the fruits of his loins. A variety of sex scenarios popped in my head but I threw them out the window immediately!

"You're staring Khushi," he said in a low voice, humor ever so evident.

"Sorry," I squeaked.

"Don't ever be."

He brought his body over mine, and I gasped at the feeling of his warm erection against my stomach. It was immediately cut off, however, as Arnav kissed me deeply. I moaned into him, wanting him, and I don't think I can wait any longer! I wrapped one leg around him and urged him to me, swaying my hips. Arnav let out a growl from his throat and it was one of the sexiest things I had ever heard!!

"Ready," he murmured against my lips.

"Yes," I moaned.

Judge me all you want, I was totally fucking ready for this!

This time when Arnav pulled back, he looked like he was ready for a mission, looking very determined as he tore open the small foil packet. From within, he took out a condom and rolled it down his very impressive length.

Holy fuck its really happening! I don't care if anyone calls right now, no one is going to stop us this time!

Placing his length at my entrance, my heart rate sky rocketed as his eyes met mine.

"This might hurt a bit," he said softly.

I nodded, knowing this. And seeing the size of him made me absolutely positive it was going to hurt, but I wasn't backing away.

Adjusting himself properly, Arnav gazed down at me. "I love you Khushi."

Sigh.... "I love you too Arnav."

Covering my lips with mine, he slowly sank into me, his lips covering my cries of pain.

Ouch, holy fuck!!!

There was a mixture of pain and pleasure as Arnav slowly buried himself within me, until he finally had thrust all the way in.

Oh my gosh this hurts and he's so big!!!

Giving me a moment, Arnav allowed for my body to adjust around him. It didn't take too long and once it had, Arnav slowly pulled back and thrust back in.

"Arnav," I moaned.

A growl vibrated from his throat as he teethed my earlobe, sending sparks up my spine.

I needed more, I wanted more!

Arnav drew back and thrust back in again slightly quicker. He continued to do this until I could no longer feel anymore pain and just blissful pleasure all around me.

I swear, I have never felt anything like this ever before in my entire life! How such an act can give such intensity and be surrounded by so much love, absolutely blew my mind! The entire time, Arnav held me to him, one hand wrapped around my waist, while the other stayed behind my head, caressing it. My hands, however, wandered, now and then gripping at his arms, his shoulders, or around his neck. I felt my body rise and fall so many times, orgasm after orgasm rippling through me, and it felt abso-fucking amazing each time! But don't ask me how many times, I honestly could not keep track, not with the way my husband was sexing me up.

Is that even a word? Eh, who cares!

Arnav's breathing was beginning to become harsher and his thrusts were becoming much faster. His grip on me slightly tightened and he seemed a bit tense.

Is he okay?

I placed my hands on his cheeks and although I was concerned, my body was abso-fucking-lutely loving this and once again I broke apart around him, crying out in ecstasy.

"Fuck," he grunted, and he stilled, placing his forehead against mine.

Wait, did he just... oh shit!

Arnav gave a few more shallow thrusts before he pulled out of me and moved to his side, taking me with him. He held onto me and buried his nose in my hair, breathing heavily.

Oh my gosh... we actually did it! We really did it - no interruptions, nothing!!

Arnav bunched up my hair in his hand so that he could tilt my face up to his. Honestly, it was a little hard to look him right in the eye, I mean hello! How could I after the intense love making? My body is still shaking!

Maybe Arnav assumed I was cold because he briefly let go of me to pull the duvet over us. To be honest, it was definitely a welcomed feeling, its warmth a nice feeling along with my husband's warmth.

"How are you feeling," he said softly.

I nodded, unable to find my words, letting him know that I was okay.

Arnav placed a kiss on my forehead and tucked me into him. "Get some sleep."

Oh he won't have to tell me twice, my body suddenly feeling very heavy. It was only a matter of seconds until I faded into sleep, in the arms of the man I love, of my Arnav's.
