Chapter Thirty Three

All of the guests had arrived and everyone slowly began to take their seats. Arnav would be giving a speech before the auction began, which was how they would earn money to donate to charity. Apparently there were quite a number of items to be auctioned, and as I had never been at an auctioning event before, this definitely would be an interesting event to see.

With everyone seated, Arnav made his way on stage to the podium. I have to admit, my husband looked absolutely delicious in his Burberry galore, and just the sight of him made my body ache with desire.

Of course, I had to cool myself and keep my composure, it just wouldn't do, especially in such a public place.

"Good evening everyone," Arnav began, "and welcome to the 12th annual ROHD Gala, where we help raise money for the HLF Organization. I am very proud that HLF has once again agreed to partner with us, in the hopes of providing orphaned children a better future," and everyone clapped.

"Ever since I first started this charity event, I would basically always say the same thing - how I too, am an orphan, and that I know what these children feel, and that is why this organization is so close to my heart - because it provides these children with hope, a chance at a better life, and a chance to a brighter future. And with the help of your donations in the past years, we have been able to do just that, so please, a round of applause for yourselves."

The hall filled up with applause again and slowly simmered down, bringing attention back to Arnav.

"But tonight, I won't just be saying that. Tonight, I want to talk about how for the first time, hope has been brought into my life, how my life has been bettered, and how my future has become brighter.

"For a long time, I found myself to be in the dark. Light simply did not shine through, no matter how hard I tried and wanted for it too. It affected me, affected my behavior, and even caused me to make decisions I regret very much so."

Immediately I thought of that woman but quickly buried it to its grave.

Arnav stayed silent for a moment. "If possible, I would go back in time and change those things. But then I can't help but wonder that if I could change those things, would my life have been so dark that the light which I needed, would have ever appeared in my life? I don't know, and I may never know, but that's alright. All that matters is the light that is in my life, and that is none other than my beautiful wife, my Khushi."

Everyone looked at me as they awed, but I could only look at my husband as my heart ached for him.

"Khushi, you are the light I never knew I would ever have. Ever since you came into my life, nothing has ever been the same - I haven't been the same. And I not only want to thank you for bettering me, but thank divine above for gracing you into my life, for allowing me to be the one who gets to spend the rest of his life with you."

I pursed my lips and fought back my tears. I knew Arnav had to give a speech, but I never knew he was going to say all of this!

"But also, there is another person I need to thank - two really, but one in particular: your mother."

Amma looked at Arnav with surprise, glancing back and forth between him and me.

"Ma, if it weren't for you, I never would've had your daughter in my life. If it weren't for you, I never would've had light in my life. In fact, not only would I have not have your amazing daughter as my wife, but I wouldn't have had you as my mother.

"What many of you may not know is that Ma and I constantly have conversations through text..."

I looked at Amma in shock - even I didn't know this.

"My mother, as many of you may know, passed away with my father in a car accident when I was only 7 years old. Since then, I lacked having a mother, even though I did have my Mami and Mai around, but it just wasn't the same. When Khushi came into my life, I not only got a wonderful life partner, but a mother as well. She has guided me, reasoned with me, and has definitely given me a pointer or two about how to pacify my wife."

At that, some people chuckled.

"Not only that, but she has helped to complete my life. Not only did she give the love of my life, but she gave me a new mother and a new father, and for that, I am forever grateful."

Amma had tears in her eyes, and like me, she forced them back.

"So this year, I want to dedicate this gala you, Ma, for bringing hope into my life, for making my life better, and for brightening my future with the angel that is your daughter."

Everyone in the room erupted into applause, many of them having shed some tears. Arnav gestured for Amma to join him on stage and after I ushered her too, as well as Babuji and Buaji, she went. When she stood before him, Arnav bent down to seek her blessings, but Amma stopped him and hugged him, placing a kiss on his forehead as she ran a hand through his hair.

Many years ago, Amma had really wanted son after me, as well as Babuji. But due to complications, it never happened, leaving a part of her life empty. Perhaps that was one of the reasons why Amma had always tried to push marriage one me - so that she could seek a son from her son in-law. And seeing the two on stage now, it was very evident that Amma finally had the son she she had dreamed of, and Arnav had the mother he had always yearned for, and it made my heart fill with joy to see two of the people I love oh so very much be so happy.

*~*

As Arnav and Kajol came off the stage, not far away, in a corner, stood a woman with a drink in hand.

Well isn't this just interesting.... No matter Arnav, no matter. You can claim that light has entered your life, but I am about to darken it so much, that no light will ever be able to crawl through.

Chapter Thirty Two

A hot and steamy session at the office just wasn't enough, so the session was later resumed when we arrived home late that night, and all I can say is, I have no regrets. We had holed ourselves up for so long at the office, that everyone at home had already eaten and had gone to bed. It should be mentioned that by everyone, I meant Nani, Di, and Jeejaji. Akash, Mama, and Mami had gone to Singapore for business and fun. NK had gone back to Australia to his mother to finalize the sale of their house. I had met and spoken to NK's mom, who the kids referred to as Mai, through Skype, and she was a very sweet woman. She treated everyone as if they were her own flesh and blood, and I knew it would be great once she and NK came back home.

In fact, everyone soon would be home. It turns out that every year, the family would host a gala in the hopes of raising donations to a charity that would help to provide for orphaned children. It was clear to me as to why Arnav had chosen this certain charity, and while it did make my heart pang, I was also proud of my husband for helping those children create new beginnings.

The gala would be hosted this weekend, giving enough time for everyone to come back and settle in. Given that this was a big deal for Arnav and an occasion for the family to be together, Arnav had invited my family to come along as well. He even invited Payal's family. At first I was confused why, not to be mean or anything, but remembering the way my devar had eyeballed my cousin, I totally understood my husband's intentions. And to be honest, I wasn't mad about it at all!

On Wednesday morning, Akash, Mama, and Mamiji had returned, Mamiji having splurged on a whole bunch of gifts for all of us. She had also bought quite a lot of exquisite jewelry, to which Nani teased her, telling her to save them for her future daughter in law. In that moment, on the low, I had let Akash know that Payal would be coming to the gala, and my devar lit up like it was Christmas morning!

How cute!

The following morning, NK and Mai had arrived, and the moment Nani saw her daughter in her widow's wear, she broke into tears. When NK's father had passed away, Nani was sick and wasn't able to fly out to her son in law's funeral, although she had really wanted to. But due to health precautions, she had to stay behind and only Arnav, Akash, Mama, and Mamiji had gone to the funeral, Di and Jeejaji staying behind to take care of her. So Nani had never really seen Mai in such clothes, and it truly broke my heart as I watched the two cry in each other's arms. In fact, everyone had gotten a little emotional at that moment, even Arnav, who was clenching his fist.

The feeling of losing someone dear to you was a feeling Arnav knew all to well. It broke my heart to see him in such pain, so I held his hand in mine. Arnav's eyes met mine and I gave him a humble smile. All that mattered now was that we were together - the whole family was together, all under one roof, and we would always be there for each other.

*~*

Saturday evening arrived, and the whole family was ready. As we all prepared to leave, I called Amma to see how far they were, and it turned out that they were already at the venue, along with Payal and them. When I let Arnav know that they were all already there, poor Akash had overheard and he seemed to had become a little too eager to get there as quickly as possible.

Honestly I have no idea as to how serious his feelings are for my cousin, but if he causes trouble, you can bet I'll be gripping him by the ear.

Once the family was all ready and gathered, we all headed out to the venue. Once again, the paparazzi went into a frenzy, yelling out to us as to which way we should look so they could get their perfect shot. As soon as we were done with the photos and walked the carpet, we entered the venue, and it was absolutely grand! The large glass dome ceiling was stunning, revealing the beautiful night sky and the full moon's light! But my attention was immediately taken away from it, as Payal and the rest of my family came towards us.

"Oh my gosh Sanka Devi, you look beautiful," Buaji gushed.

"May you be protected from the evil eye," Amma said.

"I'll say, all the other ladies must be absolutely jealous," Choti Ma chuckled.

"Well screw them," Payal said before dragging me away.

"What the-? Payal!"

But Payal didn't stop until she had me away from everyone, taking us over to wear the bar was set up.

"Khushi you look stunning! It's gotta be like Sabyasachi or something!"

"It is," I smiled as I showed off my gorgeous red lehenga.

"Ugh to die for! Anyways, the reason why I pulled you aside..."

Oh? Now I was curious.

"Um... well I don't know how exactly to say this but..."

"But...?"

"Uh, well... your devar may have hit me up on my DMs..."

My eyes widened immediately.

"And I may have ignored it?"

I couldn't believe my ears. "Shut up!"

Payal shook her head.

"Oh my-! Akash really messaged you?"

"But I didn't open it, I was too afraid-"

"For what you idiot? He's totally got the hots for you! My poor devar is checking you out right now!"

Payal turned around in confusion and saw that I was right, Akash flinching away as we both looked at him.

"See! He was totally checking you out!"

"I see that but...."

"But what," I frowned.

"Khushi... at your wedding I heard some of the girls say some things."

Huh?

"It was like right before the ceremony started and I was checking in with the guests like Badi Ma told me to, and I overheard one of the girls saying how Akash had asked for her phone number."

Oh? Well this is news to my ears.

"Not only did I hear that, but later in the evening, I had heard that he had not only gotten that girl's phone number, but seven other girls' phone numbers as well."

"What the? Eight girls-"

A memory from the night of my wedding came into mind.

"Alright you two, enough," Di said. "Why can't you guys be good like Akash?"

Akash grinned. "That's right."

Arnav and NK glanced at each other and then at him. "Eight."

Akash flinched. "Uh..." and he left the room.

Well that sure makes a lot more sense now.

"Khushi?"

I snapped out of my thoughts and turned my attention back to Payal.

"I just wanted to let you know that he had hit me up and what I had heard, that's all...."

I looked at her carefully. "You sure that's the only reason why..."

Payal looked down at the floor.

"Or because you may have feelings for him but you're scared?"

She didn't say anything.

"Pays, he's a really good guy. Granted what he did at my wedding was him being a total flirt but... but I haven't seen him act that way ever since I married Arnav. So... if you want my blessing and take a chance, then go for it."

Payal met my eyes with hers. "Are you sure?"

"Why not," I shrugged. "I've never seen him so smitten. I mean, when I told him you were gonna be here, he practically jumped with joy! He likes you, he's totally into you... give it a chance."

Payal gave me a small smile and hugged me, and I hugged her back.

"And don't worry Pays - if he ends up doing something bad, I'll grip by his ear so hard, he'll regret it."

"Thanks Khushi."

"Of course."

The sound of someone clearing their throat brought our attention back to our surroundings. It turned out to be none other than my husband himself, looking at the two of us with eyebrow arched.

"I hope I'm not intruding?"

"Not at all jeejaji," Payal grinned before releasing me. "However I must say," she said, moving beside him and linking her arm with his, "it's rather cute how restless you are being away from my sister for so long."

"What can I say? I love her that much," he winked.

"Hai, how sweet!"

Arnav looked at me and I felt my cheeks heat with blush, which at this point, must be as red as my sari. Payal gave Arnav a quick hug and left us, allowing for my husband to come closer to me and take advantage of my flushed state.

"Your cheeks are red Khushi," he murmured.

"Hmm," was all I could say.

"Are you feeling warm?"

"A little," I nearly squeaked.

Oh gosh, I'm acting like the way I did when we first got married! I don't know why, but his sweet words just always had a way of affecting me.

Arnav chuckled as he brought his lips to my ear. Behind him, I could see all the guests looking at us, muttering to themselves.

"Arnav, everyone's looking at us," I whispered.

"I don't care," and he nipped at my earlobe.

My eyes shut instantly and I forced myself not to squeal in delight. I felt Arnav grin against me before pulling away to look at me. When I opened my eyes to look at him, I found that grin still on his face.

"Shall we, wife?"

"As soon as I have a drink," I nodded.

Arnav couldn't help his chuckle and asked the bartender for some water. The cool liquid was most definitely welcomed to my body, allowing for my cheeks to simmer down.

With that out of the way, Arnav led me to meet some of our guest, some of whom I had already met. I have to admit, I was a bit stunned by the few celebrities that had come, even though I had met some before. I mean it isn't exactly easy to overcome that sort of shock just like that, especially not when you've been seeing them on the big screen for so long. But I had learned to keep myself under control around them, even though I was shrieking like a banshee on the inside as I took selfies with them and we all posted it to our social medias.

As the last of the guests arrived and Arnav greeted them and mingled with them, I spent some time with my family. Everyone was animated in conversation and I just loved that everyone got along so well.

"Khushi?"

"Hmm?"

I turned to Amma, finding her smiling at me humbly. She caressed my cheek, looking at me up and down.

"My sweet girl, I can't believe how much you've grown up."

I smiled at her, holding her hand.

"If I didn't have you in my life, I-"

"Amma please, don't," I said, feeling my emotions ready to overtake me.

I could see that Amma's were ready to overtake her too, but she controlled herself. "I'm sorry, it's just... seeing you with Arnav is only making me realize how much you've grown. I still remember the day you were born, when the doctor handed you to me when you were born...."

I looked away, playing with her hand.

"I may have not given birth to you, but that means nothing to me. Having you as my daughter has been such a privilege-"

"Amma-"

"And even though I couldn't give you siblings due to my own complications, I'm still glad that I was able to spend almost all of my time with you."

I could feel tears threatening to form and I forced them back. "Amma," but my voice cracked.

"You've grown into such a mature, beautiful young woman, and you're an outstanding wife to Arnav. ...and I can see that you love him very much."

I looked up at her.

"The way you look at him, the love in your eyes... its just the way he looks at you, even now," she nodded.

I looked in the direction she had gestured and saw Arnav, gazing away at me even though a man was talking to him. He smiled at me and I felt my heart flutter.

"The way you two love each other, it's just like your father and I, and I am so happy that you found love; it definitely suits you. And Arnav truly is a wonderful boy; even after learning the truth about our family, he has done nothing but respected and supported you and our family. I'm so proud of him, as I am very proud of you."

I looked back at Amma and hugged her. All I wanted to do was hold her and have her hold me. "I love you Amma, so, so much."

"I love you too, baby girl." Amma pulled back and caressed my cheek once more. "There is just one thing I wanted to ask."

"What is it Amma?"

"When will I be promoted to a grandmother?"

What! "Amma!"

Amma began to laugh and I frowned at her. Honestly, the nerve of this woman! I haven't even been married for half a year yet, and she's already asking for grandchildren!

But then again....

It's not like I don't want have children someday, I definitely do. In fact, Arnav and I once had this conversation when I first began my birth control pills. Arnav wanted children too, but we both had decided that it was just too early for us, and definitely too early in our marriage. We wanted to spend time together, be close to one another before we began to take care of a third and extended our family.

And to be honest, I couldn't wait for that day when I could potentially have a mini version of my Arnav.

Chapter Thirty One

AR had been quite busy these past few weeks, preparing for its new line. Things had been quite hectic and work never seemed to stop for us. I mean even when we went home, work followed us too. It somewhat didn't give us time to spend with each other, well, unless it involved work; then we definitely had time to spend together.

It was late in the evening, and Arnav and I remained behind in the office. I had been working away on the budget of the upcoming show, and honestly, this thing is really becoming a pain in the butt. But 9 o'clock was rolling around and it was getting late, so I was no longer going to let it bother me. Leaving work behind, I grabbed my bag and made my way over to Arnav, only to find him still busy with work.

"Arnav, come on, it's 9 already," I said, going over to him.

Arnav let out a sigh and leaned back in his chair. "I know, I know," and he shut his eyes.

Poor guy, he looks so stressed.

Going over to him, I placed myself in his lap and a smile immediately presented itself on his face. He opened his eyes and looked down at me, and ugh, he just looked perfect!

"What would I do without you," he smiled softly.

"Um," I pretended to go into thought. "You'd totally be lost."

"Probably," he chuckled.

"Most definitely," I teased.

Neither of us said anything for a moment, when Arnav reached out a tucked my hair behind my ear. "Hi."

"Um... hi?"

"I feel like I haven't seen you properly these past couple of days," he smiled softly.

Well, he did have a point. I mean we've been so busy with work, we really haven't had some alone time.

I placed my hand over his waistcoat, toying with the buttons. "I miss you," I nearly whispered with a small pout.

Don't make fun of me, its true, and I don't care if I'm acting like a baby :P

"I miss you, too," Arnav replied, and he kissed me.

I don't know what it was, but for some reason, this kiss was electrifying. I mean, even though we haven't been so hubby-wifey the past few days, we definitely had a few kisses here and there. But now that I think about it, they were only like a few pecks and nothing like what it used to be prior of that. Now this, what's happening right now, is totally like one of those like the old days.

And it was leading up to something we hadn't done in quite some time, and as I'm being hoisted up and hearing things being moved from the table and falling to the floor, I was getting excited. I mean yeah, on a normal day I'd totally be against having sex in the office, but now after all the stressful amount of work and barely getting time to spend with each other, I had no objections. Heck, I was tossing things off of his desk too, and the sexy grin on his face was definitely some bonus points.

Clothes flew this way and that way and my poor underwear was torn, earning Arnav a light smack on his arm.

"How many more times do I have to tell you to not do that," I scowled.

Honestly, this man has begun a bad habit of ripping my panties, especially the lace ones, which he supposedly loves on me very much.

"Um, I don't know, I'll buy you new ones."

"Why bother, you'll only rip them again," I said sarcastically.

"Good, then it'll make things easier for me."

"Arn-ahv!"

Damn it, he always did this too, cutting me off while in the middle of saying his name and just thrusting within me. He especially started to do it more when I began my birth control pills. It was by Payal's recommendation that I had gone to the doctors to get them, because I mean why not? Of course, one should always use condoms no matter what, and Arnav and I would, but to be honest, most of the times, we wouldn't, which I'm sure my doctor wouldn't be too happy about at all but oh well.

"Eyes on me Khushi me."

Slowly opening my eyes, I looked up at Arnav and ugh, I missed this sexy face of his. Reaching up, I pulled him down to me and kissed him as he pumped within me. My legs wrapped themselves around his waist, urging him closer to me. I needed this, and I needed this desperately! And given Arnav's actions, it was clear that he needed this too, badly so. His speed began to increase and I could feel my body rising. His breathing turned harsh and I knew he was reaching his point as well. This was going to be fast and quick and I didn't care at all, I just needed him desperately. Within a matter of moments, both of us peaked and crashed, our cries filling up the room.

Arnav came crashing down on my chest, still buried within me. His warm breath felt so good against my damp flesh. Neither of us said anything, just holding onto each other as we came down from our high. Several moments passed, when Arnav finally lifted himself up and placed a kiss on each nipple, and me being the besharam I am, wanted him again.

Arnav groaned against my chest. "Oh no you don't wifey, don't you grip on my cock like that again."

His naughty words made my body react again and I felt him hardening, ready to go again.

"Oh Khushi, what have I done to you," he chuckled.

I don't think he realizes that he's only making me want him more- ah, nope, now he does know since my insides have clenched against him again.

"Don't we need to go home," he teased.

Home-schmome, there's time for that, now sex me up dammit!

Don't judge me, I'm horny and I want my husband again, there's nothing wrong with that.

Arnav picked me up, still buried within me, and sat down in his chair. "Ride me baby."

Sexy husband say what now?

There was a gleam, glinting away in his eyes and it totally had an affect on me. We both knew it, especially when he let out a throaty groan when my insides clenched again. And as turned on as I was, I was now also scared way out of my mind! Me? Ride him?! I can't do that- okay yeah I can, but I can't do that I mean... I mean... I'm too shy! And I've never done this before!

I buried my face within Arnav's neck to hide my burning red face. I mean it was already red from our quickie, but now it was burning from embarrassment! Arnav placed one hand in my hair, the other at my lower back and slowly moved it up and down along my back, comforting me. It definitely helped stop the burning feeling in my cheeks and I pulled back and looked at him. Love was in his eyes and all I could think of was that I wanted him.

So gathering what little courage I could and remembering what I had read online about this position, I straightened myself and began to grind my hips. It was a nice and steady pace, and I couldn't remove my gaze off of Arnav. He moved his hand away from my hair and brought it down to my waist, the other hand sliding over to grip the other side. He brought his lips to mine, and it somehow managed to give me energy. I found myself beginning to move faster, rocking against him. His hold on me helped and supported me, making it easier to move along him.

My body began to rise, and I knew I was about to be a goner! It was hard to keep my eyes open, no matter how many times Arnav told me to look at him. Within seconds, I crashed, exploding around him. I could feel my thighs aching as I came down from my high, reminding me of another thing I had read.

Note to self: do some squats daily and wear his t-shirt tonight.

I felt Arnav pick me up, pulling out of me. I was still a little hazy from my last orgasm but when I felt myself being bent over, I snapped out of it really quick! The coolness of his desk was very welcoming, helping me to further snap back to reality. I felt Arnav behind me and I knew exactly what was to come, so getting a proper hold to support myself, I pushed back against Arnav and allowed him to bury himself fully within me.

I have to admit, this was one of my favorite positions and I can't even explain why. Don't get me wrong, I love being able to see Arnav's face and see his features screw up when he's about to orgasm, but this position was just honestly mind blowing and I mean literally. After doing it the first time on the plane, we had done it again the first night we were home, and Arnav had counted that I had orgasmed seven times alone in that position. Seven! I wasn't even aware of it because I was in such a haze but when I had later googled it and found out it was totally normal, I relaxed and felt really good about myself.

But the best part about this position was Arnav's reactions. I mean every time he was about to cum, he would grip onto me tightly, start biting me - just simply put, get rough with me, and I loved it. I even got spanked once and you would think I would be completely shocked, but no, I moaned instead and wanted more. Me! Me!

I know, I'm a total slut with my husband, trust me, I know. You should've seen me the first time I gave him a blowjob and swallowed up his cum.

Mm hmm, your girl is no longer a girl, but kick ass woman!

Oh and the hickies! Oh, the hickies! I was guaranteed to have one somewhere on my shoulder, due to his biting, and I freaking loved it! The only time I ever got slightly upset with it was when my dumbass forgot to cover it and the paparazzi somehow managed to get a shot of me with it, and began to wonder if Arnav was "abusive", which was absolutely preposterous! I mean it was just one magazine that tried to make Arnav seem like this bad guy, while every other publisher was teasing us. Honestly, I wanted to give them a piece of my mind but it was Arnav who had stopped me from doing anything.

Sigh, this man... I love him-!

Suddenly I was taken out of my thoughts as Arnav wrapped my hair around his hand and pulled me back to him.

"Someone's distracted," he breathed in my ear.

Holy fuck, he's going to make me cum if he continues to speak like that!

"I was only thinking of how much I love you," I replied, my tone matching his.

"How much do you love me?"

"A lot."

Arnav thrusted within me sharply, hitting that oh so sweet spot, bringing a cry out of my lips.

"How much?"

"Very much."

He sharply thrusted with me again, making me cry out once more and my body quiver.

"How much?"

"Arnav!"

"How much baby," and he nipped at my shoulder.

I felt myself constrict around him and I was about to be goner once more. "Arnav!"

"Answer me baby, how much?"

I could feel him slow down, taking my high away from me. "Arnav please!"

"How much?"

"So much, it makes my heart hurt!"

He picked up his pace again, bringing back my release. Hearing his harsh breathing, I knew he was about to cum, so I began to move faster along with him.

"I want you to cum in my mouth," I whispered.

Arnav pulled out of me and I quickly turned around and got on my knees, and placed him in my mouth. Warm liquid gushed within it and I quickly swallowed it as I pushed him deeper into my mouth until he hit the back of my throat. Arnav gripped onto my hair and I moaned around him, taking every last drop he had to offer, bringing my hands around him to milk him. With a pop, I let him out of my mouth and Arnav crashed down onto his chair, shutting his eyes as he breathed heavily.

I don't know why, but for some reason I would always turn into this vixen in the middle of sex. I really don't know how, but I do. And to be honest, I liked her, I liked her a lot! It was like letting an animal out of its cage and being free! I loved it, and I knew Arnav sure as hell loved it.

"Khushi."

I looked up at him. "Hmm?"

He held his hand out to me so I took it and sat in his lap. He buried his nose in my hair, nuzzling me.

"I love you so much that it makes my heart hurt, as well."

Arnav...

Caressing his cheek in my hand, I reached up and kissed his forehead. He kissed my forehead in return and then both of us just sat there, soaked up in sweat in a room with sex in the air, a whole bunch of papers on the ground, and clothes thrown everywhere - sated, happy, and above all, in love.

Chapter Thirty

With dinner complete, Arnav dropped Buaji home, even though she continuously insisted she could make it home alone. But my husband being the way he is didn't listen to a single word she said, took her in his car, and drove her home. It didn't even take her long to text me and tell me that my husband was something else and I totally agree.

But there were other things on my mind. Having told Buaji about our revelations, the thoughts still stuck to mind. It is interesting how these two negative occurrences happened around the same time of our lives. And thinking about it more now, Buaji's right - my thought of my birth mother possibly being that woman just wasn't possible; I mean crossing the Atlantic isn't like crossing the street. So when I was 18 and my family had hired the private investigator, Arnav would've been about 22, meaning he would've already been involved with her for about six years. But the PI jad said my birth mother had been living in Miami for years, so Buaji's right - it just isn't possible.

Ugh, I hate those two, I hate them with a passion! They both can go to-!

"Someone's a little heated."

Snapping out of my thoughts, I turned around to see Arnav. "Oh, when did you return?"

"Just now," and he shut the doors behind him.

Arnav came over to me, sitting beside me in bed. I had already changed into my nightwear, but simply couldn't fall asleep not just because of these thoughts, but because Arnav wasn't home yet.

"Care to explain why have such an angry expression covering your sweet face," he asked.

I shook my head, unable to help my small smile at his comment. "It's nothing, just... anyways, Buaji didn't say anything stupid did she?"

"No, just a few small things, that's all."

"A few small things? Like what?"

"Nothing just... anyways, are you going to stop avoiding what I asked of you?"

Seriously? "Ha, ha, not funny. Now answer me."

"Only if you'll answer my question first."

"But I asked first."

"Did not."

"Did too."

I totally did not, but this will hopefully distract him.

Arnav sighed, leaning back and crossing his arms. "Why won't you just tell me what's bothering you Khushi? I thought we were going to be honest with each other."

"I...." Damn it!

I huddled underneath the covers, bringing my knees closer to me. Arnav placed his arm around me and I laid my head on his shoulder. Neither of us said anything for a moment, silence surrounding us.

"I don't like her," I finally muttered.

"Who?"

"That... that... that child molester!"

I pulled away from him, wrapping my arms around myself. From the corner of my eyes, I could see that Arnav was shocked by my tiny outburst, but he quickly recovered and reached out for my hand, taking it in his.

"What she did to you... to just go up to you and take advantage of you... its just disgusting! She's as horrible- no! She's more horrible than the woman who gave birth to me."

When Arnav didn't say anything, I turned to him. He was simply looking down with no expression on his face. But even if he wasn't displaying anything, I knew that he was really feeling something.

It wasn't that I wanted to upset him, but thinking about those women just made me so enraged and I... fuck!

Moving over, I straddled him and held his face in my hands, but he wouldn't look at me.

"Arnav?"

When his eyes finally met mine, I saw the mix of emotions he felt within him. It made my heart constrict, and I truly felt bad.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to upset you," and I hugged him, burying my face in his neck.

"I'm fine."

I pulled back. "I thought we were going to be honest with each other."

This time, a small smile appeared on his face, making one appear on my own. I hated to see him upset, it just didn't look good on him, nor did it make me feel good whatsoever.

"I love you Mrs. Raizada."

Oh! "I love you too Mr. Raizada," and I sealed his lips with a kiss, taking us both away temporarily from the universe.

*~*

Amma, Babuji, and Buaji came the next day, as well as Payal and her parents. I could have sworn I saw Akash checking out Payal but maybe it was just me. I mean when we had the party the day after our wedding, it was mostly NK who was going around and flirting with girls, not Akash. But the way I'm seeing Choti Ma hit it off with Mamiji, who knows- there just might be a possibility of the two.

Several days passed by, and I began to learn the ways of the house. Arnav began to go back to the office, and not long later, I started going again, that is, after Nani made me. Truth be told, I kind of enjoyed being at home and working away with Di, Mami, and Nani. But Nani reminded me that work was just as important as family, so I had gone back.

The moment I had arrived back to the office, I had been smothered by Lavanya and all of the staff congratulated me, giving me flowers. Lavanya didn't spare me and had me tell her every detail of our honeymoon, and I mean even the rated xxx stuff. Of course I didn't tell her about the secrets, but I did tell her just about everything else. She truly was happy for me and I truly was grateful for having a friend like her.

About a month passed by and everything was going well. Arnav and I were closer than ever before, and married life was going great! We were almost inseparable, and I really mean inseparable. Truth be told, we really couldn't keep our hands off of each other, and this was bringing out a side of me I never thought I had! I mean if you were to tell me a year ago that I would be playing footsies with my husband during dinner time with the family, I would've been rolling on the ground, laughing. Or if someone had told me that I would escape a party with my husband, full of billionaires and celebrities, and would lock ourselves in an empty room and get all hot and sweaty, I would've looked at you like you were mad! But no, these were exactly the things that were going on and I fucking loved it!

But whenever work came to play, we were very serious about it. Arnav and I both worked hard to make sure that the company excelled and we really were a good team. I mean the media was going into a frenzy over us and even gave us a couple name - Arshi. I mean it was ridiculous, but it was definitely enough to make Payal go crazy! I mean she constantly sent me articles and covers of us, as if she were like my head of PR or something. I did have to admit though, it was a little fun being in the limelight. Being Arnav's wife brought so many opportunities, like meeting successful business people, meeting celebrities, lavish parties, and so much more! My life really truly had changed in just this short amount of time and I really, truly am grateful for this, but I'm more grateful for the wonderful man that is my husband and I love him very, very much.

*~*

Arriving onto the carpet now is the CEO of AR Industries, Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada, along with his beautiful wife, Mrs. Khushi Singh Raizada-

The TV was immediately turned off, the remote flying across the room. Every time she would hear her name, Kinjal would only find herself with a fit of rage.

"A month! More than a month has passed and I still haven't fucking been able to do anything! Anything!!!!"

Kinjal grabbed hold of a glass tumbler and threw it across the room.

"That man... that man!!!!! Why the hell did he come back after all this fucking time, he fucking ruined all of my plans! Fucking bastard," and she threw another tumbler.

"Now what do I do? Now what do I do?!!!!!!"

Kinjal huffed and glared, staring at her reflection in the window. Out below, she could see the twinkling of the city, but it normally meant nothing to her, just a sight she would see all the time. This time, however, it did strike out to her. She stepped closer to it and placed her hand on the floor-to-ceiling length glass. She pressed her face against it, the glass cooling her face. Several moments passed until she finally pulled away and looked back at her reflection.

"Brilliant."

Chapter Twenty Nine

After a quick nap and having had a quick shower, I changed into a red sari so that I would look presentable to the family. Arnav had changed into a formal shirt, pants and waistcoat. It wasn't long until we'd be arriving, and when the plane finally landed, it felt like such a relief to be home.

"Ah shit," Arnav grumbled.

I turned to him and saw that he was on his phone. "What's wrong?"

"The paparazzi somehow found out that we're back and are waiting outside."

Paparazzi? Well this is definitely new. I mean so far, I haven't encountered any.

"The car is waiting for us outside, so it shouldn't be too much of a hassle." He put his phone away in his pocket and turned to me, placing his arm around my waist. "Ready?"

"Ready, " I nodded.

With a kiss on my forehead, Arnav led me off the plane and to the car. Once all of our luggage was placed in the trunk, the driver pulled away.

As soon as we were about to exit the airport, a clash of paparazzi came running to the car, and I was shocked. Luckily the windows were tinted or who knows what kind of pictures they would've gotten of my face, but the driver quickly moved along, honking at them to move aside. Cops came around and tried to shoo them away and once we were in the clear, the driver pulled into traffic and took us home.

Well that sure was an experience.

It wasn't long before we arrived home and when we got to the door, everyone was there, waiting for us, and it was so good to see them. Nani welcomed us in and as soon as everyone stepped back to make way for us, Arnav swooped me up into his arms and Di, Nani, and NK began to whistle. Blush filled my cheeks as I remembered the traditions and buried my face within Arnav's chest as he took us straight up to our room, all the while he smirked away.

When we got to our room, Arnav placed me down on the bed. "Well that went better than I expected."

"What do you mean, did you not hear them whistle?"

"Yeah, but knowing them, I expected dhols to go off and for them to start dancing," he said, crossing your arms.

I looked at him, dumfounded. "You're joking right?"

"You'd be surprised."

Just then, workers came in with our luggage and set them inside our room. Once they did, the rest of the family came in and joined us. We briefly spoke about our travels before Nani told us to get some rest, and so they left us alone. To be honest, after the nap we had on the plane, I wasn't feeling so tired and neither did Arnav. He decided that he would do some work in his study and I stayed behind in our room and watched TV.

About an hour had passed when there was a knock at the door. "Who is it?"

A worker opened the door. "Didi, there's someone here to see you."

My eyebrows met in the middle in confusion. He stepped aside, revealing a very happy Buaji.

"Buaji!!!"

Dashing out of the bed, I ran over to her and hugged her and she squeezed me in return.

"Oh my gosh Buaji, what are you doing here? I thought you guys weren't coming till tomorrow, that's what Amma said when I last called her when we were still away?"

"Well she thought it would be better to let you two rest, but I know my Sanka Devi really well."

Oh Buaji! "Come in, sit!"

I shut the doors, led Buaji out to the poolside, and we sat down at the table.

"So sanka devi, tell me about your honeymoon," she grinned, wagging her eyebrows.

Buaji will forever be the same, and honestly, I never want her to change. I told her almost just about everything, keeping the, er, rated xxx stuff out of it. But of course, I did admit to her that Arnav and I had consummated our marriage, and it nearly blew her through the roof with excitement! I don't think she's ever hugged me as tight as she had when I told her this, in any other point of my life before.

"Oh I am just so proud of you Khushi! You're truly a woman now!"

I rolled my eyes to that, but then again, in a way, she did have a point.

"So everything went perfectly then; not a single problem at all."

"Well... it wasn't exactly a problem, actually there weren't any problems but...."

"But what titalya?"

With a sigh, I told Buaji about the night of our revelations. I told her how I had told him the truth about my adoption, and Buaji was stunned, looking at me wide-eyed. I even told her about Arnav's revelations after having her swear she can never tell anyone and take this to the grave, though I k ew she never would tell a soul.

"...and after these revelations, I dunno but... it just... it made us become closer than ever."

"I... wow, um...."

I looked at Buaji in shock - it wasn't every day that this woman could be stunned.

"I'm... I'm glad that it brought you both closer, I really am but...."

"But what?"

"I'm processing all of this information and something is just poking my head. Remind me again - you're 24 and he's...?"

"28."

"He first met that woman when he was 16, you said?"

"About, yes. So?"

"Ironic isn't it that around that time, you also learned the truth about your birth mother?"

"How is it the same- oh shit... you're right!"

Buaji's right - Arnav and I are basically about four years apart, so when I was 12, he was 16, meaning when I discovered the truth about my mother, that was when he met....

Wait...oh no... holy fucking shit!

"Buaji... a scary idea just popped into my head."

"What is it?"

Shit, shit, shit! "What if... w-what if some how... the woman he was involved with is m-my... my birth m-"

"Khushi, don't be ridiculous, that would be way too much of a coincidence! And remember, when you wanted to learn about her whereabouts and we hired that private investigator, he uncovered that she had been in Miami for years, not here. How could she possibly be that woman if she's across the Atlantic ocean?"

Buaji had a point - that woman had been staying in Miami for years and years, so she couldn't possibly be the same person who Arnav was involved with.

"Seriously Sanka Devi, you really are crazy."

"Buaji!"

"Listen, if you're going to be crazy then just be like Beyonce and be crazy in love, that's it."

"Oh my gosh Buaji, you're so corny!"

Buaji scowled at me and I couldn't help myself but to laugh. Ugh, I honestly missed this woman.

We both continued to talk away, when Arnav came back. He came over and joined us, sitting beside me. Buaji and him hit it right off, and seeing these two people who I love very much, get along so well, made my heart bloom.

Buaji wasn't spared and she joined us all for dinner. This was really my first time having dinner with the family, and honestly, it was perfect. Whether it was the funny antics of NK, Akash, or even Mamiji's, or the cuteness of Di with jeejaji, or the way Nani and Mamaji teased the others - it was all just so good.

I really am lucky to have this family. And based on the look Buaji had, she seemed to agree as well.

Chapter Twenty Eight

As amazing as it was, our honeymoon soon came to an end, but it was absolutely wonderful! Arnav and I were closer than ever before, and to be honest, I couldn't wait to get back home and get the married life started. Sure, there was that short moment in my new home after the wedding, but this was really going to be the true start, because this was really truly going to be the start of our new lives together, with my new family. I really couldn't wait to get back and start it, as well as see everyone.

"Khushi?"

"Hmm?"

We were already on our flight back home, high in the sky, with nothing but clouds around us.

"Are you going to cover that up?"

Instantly my hand reached up to my neck where my current hickey was. It's funny because I left for our honeymoon with one, and I was coming back with one as well.

"I will just before we land."

"Do you have to?"

"Arnav," I frowned. "I don't want for our family to see it."

"I know, but I like how it looks."

"Well I do too, but-"

Well, it looks like my big mouth is going back too.

Arnav grinned and got up from his seat and came over to me, wrapping his arm around me, and gave me a kiss. "Fine, you can cover it."

"Hmm, now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to catch some Z's."

Getting out of my seat, I headed to the back to our room. Arnav followed in behind me as I put my hair up in a bun. and took hold of me.

"Mrs. Raizada, I just had an idea," he murmured against my neck.

Oh?  "Oh?"

"What if we were to...."

"To...?"

"What if we...."

"We...?"

What's he playing at?

I turned around in his hold to face him and was met by his stunningly sexy smirk.

Hmm... hubby's got intentions.... and I think I know just what it is.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, bringing him closer to me. "I think I have a feeling I know what you're trying to ask of me."

"Is that so?"

His smirk was in its place, not ready to go anywhere else.

"I do... but I am a little surprised, I mean you're the great Arnav Singh Raizada."

"That I am... so?"

"So am I to truly believe that you haven't joined the mile high club yet?"

"Yes."

His expression was rather serious and I was stunned. "Really?"

Arnav nodded.

"Oh. Um... wow, okay."

Arnav tilted his head. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing, it's just that... not even with her?"

Arnav knew exactly who I was talking about and after having spoken on that topic a little more the day after our revelations, he knew all to well that I hated that woman. That woman is a child molester and if I ever see her or find her near my husband ever again, I am going to bloody up that woman so bad, she'll regret it.

...okay so maybe not exactly bloody but you can bet I'll be having one heck of an argument with that child molester!

"No, not even with her."

"Um... if you don't mind me asking... how is that even possible?"

Arnav arched his eyebrow in amusement and I simply shrugged. I mean hey, it's a reasonable question.

He had me sit down on the bed and he sat beside me. "Since we always kept things low profile and never wanted the media to find out about anything, we would fly separately."

"Really? So you guys haven't even been in the same plane together? Like, ever?"

"No, never."

"Oh... well that's... interesting. I'm surprised her child molesting self had such restraint."

"Khushi...."

"Arnav, I hate her and I hate her with reason. Don't-"

"I won't, just... don't let her ruin things."

I looked up into his sincere eyes. He really didn't want to waste time on that woman and honestly, I don't either, nor will I allow her to foul up my mood either.

"You're right, I'm sorry, I don't want her to ruin our moods either."

Arnav gave me a light smile and kissed my cheek. "Get some rest."

He tried to get up, but I quickly stopped him. "Where do you think you're going?"

Arnav looked at me in confusion, and ugh he just looked so cute!

"If I'm not mistaken..."

Moving over him, I straddled him and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I believe we were both about to join the mile high club," I grinned.

That's right, after having sex again and again, repeatedly, on our honeymoon, this girl was much more braver than before on this topic. The bar isn't exactly full nor ready to break, but it's a lot better than what it was in comparison to when I first met this man.

Arnav couldn't help his smile and placed his hands at my waist. "You know what, you're right."

And with that, he kissed me, his hands diving under my t-shirt and caressing my back. I reached down in between us and began to unbutton his shirt, which was a little tricky as I couldn't see them, but in comparison to the first and last time I did it while we were still on the island, I was a little better and managed to unbutton a little faster than then. With his shirt entirely unbuttoned, I spread it apart and allowed for my hands to travel in whatever direction they felt like going, I mean why wouldn't I? His chest is fucking amazing!

The moment, however, briefly had to pause as Arnav lifted up my t-shirt to remove it. The fabric went in who knows what direction, along with my bra, and you know what, it was time for his shirt to do the same, so I did just that. As I did, Arnav's lips traveled over to my neck, working up the side that didn't have a hickey.

Note to self: buy more concealer, wear his t-shirts, and buy backless blouses!

With his shirt on the floor and my neck being worked up, I reached down to his shorts and unbuttoned it, sliding the zipper down.

Did I mention that I got much better at this? No? Well I did :P

"Someone is eager," he muttered against me.

"It's what you do to me," I practically moaned.

Remember, I am a horndog and I am proud of it... you just won't hear me say it out loud.

"Trust me baby, there's so much more that I'm going to do to you," and without any warning, he flipped us over, bringing a shriek of laughter out of me as he placed me on my back.

His lips immediately covered mine and I couldn't help my grin. I just loved it when he's fun like this, and trust me, he definitely has mood settings. On the island, he had to do a very important business meeting through video chat, and it was amazing how quickly he became the boss man I first got to know at work. And believe me you, when that call was done with and he rejoined me, he was completely normal, and it was just a stunning show to see. But overall, personally, I love it when he's in hubby-mode rather than CEO-mode.

Arnav pulled back, sitting on his knees. He brought his hands down to my shorts and pulled at the drawstring. You see, while Arnav chose to dress up for the plane, I decided to go comfy by wearing a pair of jammies that looked very casual.

I'm a genius, I know!

I mean, in doing so, Arnav was able to not only remove my shorts easily, but my panties as well ;P

His shorts and boxers were the last to join the articles of clothing on the floor, and just like that, sanity went out of the door and our lips collided. I mean let's face it, ever since our first kiss, it's been like this, and we both loved it!

I felt Arnav reaching over to the bedside table and I knew exactly what was coming next. When he pulled back from me, I watched him rip the foil packet open and retrieve the condom, and then roll it down along his impressive length.

"You're staring again."

"I'm intrigued," I shrugged.

Arnav grinned at me and maneuvered over me. "Is that so?"

Before I could even answer, he thrusted within me, the effect rippling through my body.

"I'm waiting for an answer," and he thrusted again.

"Yes," I cried out in pleasure.

Arnav chuckled against my neck and nipped at it as he thrusted once more.

"Oh fuck!"

"Tsk, such a foul mouth," and he thrusted within me again.

"Arnav," I whimpered.

"Yes," and he thrusted within me once more.

"Please!"

I swear, if he continues to go slow like this, I'm going to lose my mind!

"Please, what," he nipped at my ear as thrusted within me again.

Is he really expecting me to say what I want him to do? Yeah right! Your girl got braver, doesn't mean she's exactly brave! Ha!

"Tell me Khushi," and he thrusted within me again.

"Ah!"

I opened my eyes and found Arnav looking down at me. There was no way I could bring those words to my lips, so instead I kissed him, pleading him to go faster. Thank goodness he understood, because he began to move quicker, giving me exactly what I wanted.

My legs wrapped themselves around his waist, urging him closer. However they were quickly moved away as Arnav freed himself from my hold and placed one leg over his shoulder.

What is he-?

He placed a kiss on my leg and nipped at it, causing me to whimper.

"Arnav...."

My other leg soon joined his other shoulder and he moved closer to me, bringing my legs closer to my chest.

"Harder," he smirked.

Oh gosh, what was he going to do to me?

Before I could even think of a response, Arnav began to move faster, his thrusts much more swift. My hands made their way around his neck, gripping on for dear life as he made me feel a way I had never felt before!

As far as sex had gone before, it was never anything like this! Usually he would just let me wrap my legs around him as I laid on my back, or missionary as I had learned online, but this was completely different.

My body began to rise and I was about to be a goner. I gripped onto him for dear life as my back arched as I came, crying out in complete ecstasy.

As I came down from my high, I felt Arnav move me. I was aware that I was being turned to my front, but I couldn't exactly figure out why. As soon as I felt Arnav bring me up on my knees, I was back to my senses.

Wait, why am I on my hands and knees- oh fuck!

Arnav thrusted within me and I let out the most vulgar noise I have ever heard! I mean the feeling that I was getting, simply put, was A1!

"You like that?"

Based on his tone, I knew he smirking, but honestly I couldn't even care because holy fuck this felt good! With each thrust, I felt immense pleasure, and the moment I wondered why, I immediately remembered sex ed and realized why. If I'm not mistaken, this is what Cosmo called doggy and you know what, I fucking loved it! I loved it so much, that it gave me courage and remembering what the article told me, I began to meet Arnav at every thrust, and I swear, I heard him groan.

Fuck yeah! Khushi Singh Raizada, give it all that you got girl, you can do this!

I could feel myself transform at my words of encouragement, and I knew it had worked, especially when I glanced back at Arnav. He seemed to be a bit stunned, but it quickly went away as pleasure overtook him as I continued to meet him at every thrust.

Oh yeah hubby, I've got you now.

His grip around my waist tightened and his breathing became faster. It was a sign I was beginning to learn pretty well, and I knew Arnav was ready to cum. And for some reason, it began to encourage me and I sped up my movement. My grip tightened on the pillow below me, giving me the support I needed as I pleasured my husband. My own body began to rise again, and I wanted my release desperately and within seconds, both of us came apart with a loud cry, Arnav gripping onto me and buried to the hilt as he came.

Instantly I turned into jelly and collapsed. My heart raced in my ears, thumping away as my body came down from its high. Moments later, I felt Arnav wrap his arms around me and bring me to him, placing my head on his chest. I could hear his heart thump below my ear in the same way my heart was thumping. With the little energy I had gathered, I placed a kiss on his chest and shut my eyes, sleep beginning to take over me.

"I love you Arnav."

"I love you, too, Khushi," and I fell into a blissful sleep.

Chapter Twenty Seven

When we arrived back to the island, we headed straight to the kitchen. There were a few tubs of ice cream in the fridge and while I went with chocolate chip cookie dough, Arnav grabbed the cookies and cream. We decided to sit out in the back, by the pool. Personally I didn't see the reason why a pool was necessary when you had your own beach for yourself, but eh, whatever.

I glanced over at Arnav, who was clearly enjoying his ice cream. "Cookies and cream huh?"

Arnav looked at me, glancing down at my tub of ice cream before looking back at me. "Chocolate chip cookie dough... interesting."

"Oh? Why is that," I chuckled.

"Since you chose this flavor, I'm assuming it's your favorite?"

I nodded.

"I'm surprised its not just plain vanilla or chocolate."

"Can I be honest?"

"Always."

"Um... I hate chocolate flavored ice cream."

Don't judge me, don't troll me, this is my opinion and I am entitled to it. I Khushi Singh Raizada - Singh Raizada!! - HATE chocolate ice cream. Bite me!

"Can I be honest too?"

"Always," I smiled.

"I hate chocolate ice cream too," he admitted.

Yes! Ha! I'm not the only one! In your face society! Don't come for us! Hah!

"I don't think its safe to say that out loud," Arnav chuckled. "Last time I said that, Di hit me."

"Oh my gosh, she hit you," I laughed.

"It's her favorite, but Di's crazy and what not so," and he rolled his eyes with a shrug.

Arnav took another spoonful of ice cream and looked out at the beach. Since his confession, he seems to be a bit more... loose. Like revealing his biggest secret had eased him and relaxed him, and he was much more comfortable now.

He's even smiling a bit more... and he looks so cute.

Arnav scooped up some ice cream with his spoon. "You're staring."

Oops.

Blush filled my cheeks as I quickly looked down at my tub of ice cream. But when Arnav took hold of my hand, my eyes met his. He was smiling at me softly, melting my heart.

Ugh, he can be so cute sometimes!

And for some reason, a desire grew within me. Yes, I did just have ice cream for desert but now...

I wanted him.

I know, I know! You must think I'm crazy and again I'm getting ahead of myself, just like with the shower thing earlier in the day but dammit I wanted to be intimate with my husband again! And I don't think that's a crime at all so there :P

"I think that's enough ice cream for one night," Arnav said, placing the lid of his ice cream back on. "You?"

Snapping out of my thoughts, I nodded, resealing my ice cream as well. Arnav took my ice cream and spoon, taking it to the kitchen to put away and wash. I went back into the bedroom, and as much as I wanted to change into my jammies and get comfy, there were other things on my mind.

I mean I'm standing at the foot of the bed and all I can think of is the night before. I couldn't stop thinking about the way he had taken care of me and how gentle he was with me; knowing all to well that he was, er, experienced, and was yet very gentle, not rushing me, was a nice feeling. Maybe someday I'll get on that experienced level - is that even a thing? - but for now-

Arnav brushed away my hair to one side, snapping me out of my thoughts. He nuzzled me behind my ear, his arms wrapping around my waist, my hands automatically moving over them.

"Penny for your thoughts," he muttered.

Um, there's no way I'm telling him that I'm thinking about last night, you can tell him that- actually no, don't you dare!

His lips began to wander along my neck and I wanted to melt in his hold.

Is it just me, or did it suddenly get hot in here?

Arnav teethed my earlobe and a moan instantly escaped from my lips.

Oh my gosh, I'm as horny as a teenager!  Well I did claim myself to be horndog earlier- oh!

Without warning, Arnav whipped me around to him, still keeping his hold at my waist. And like the true idiot I am, while this man looked at me with a look that could literally make anything melt, I was busy looking at him like a fool in shock.

Come on girl, get it together! Get your woman-ness meter running, let's go! Let's go! LET'S GO!

It's too bad my brain was malfunctioning, I mean, can you blame it? Cause I don't.

Even more it malfunctioned when Arnav kissed me, I mean honestly, I think I heard sparks fly! But whether it was from the intensity or from the fact that my brain was crashing, I honestly have no clue, I'll leave you to be the judge of it.

Arnav pulled away and looked at me for a moment. "What are you thinking about Khushi," he asked softly.

Ugh, that voice! It makes me want to melt even more!

"Nothing," I whispered. "My brain has to work in order for me to think."

"And is it working right now?"

His grin was enough evidence to prove that he was entertained. "No."

"Why is that?"

"Because of you."

"Me?"

"Mm hmm."

"Interesting...."

Oh I bet you're more than interested, especially with that grin on your face.

"You're looking a little red Khushi. Are you feeling warm?"

On fire would be the correct answer but its not like I can say that, nor was I going to if I could. Instead I nodded... like a frigging bobble-head... and he was grinning even more.

Way to go Khushi!

Okay, I'm not embarrassing myself any further. When I gather some more courage, then and only then will I allow myself to be in my husband's arms.

Not wanting to embarrass myself any further, I pulled away from Arnav's hold, but he only pulled me back into him, my back colliding to his front.

Okay, so maybe I overestimated my own restraint. But let's face it, who was I even kidding? Me, courageous? Yeah right!

"If you think I'm letting go of you so easily, well, it's never going to happen," he murmured in my ear.

Oh?

"Not now, not in any lifetime," and he nipped at my ear.

Eep!

Arnav brought his hands up to the straps of my jumpsuit and I knew I was a goner. He loosened the straps and brushed them aside, the straps hanging lamely off of my shoulders. If enough space was created between us, then my jumpsuit would definitely no longer be covering my body.

And let's face it, we all know what I want... it's just too bad that I'm ridiculously shy!

Wah!

My free hand moved over my chest, holding onto the fabric. Arnav brushed his lips along my ear, causing me to shudder and loosen my hold, allowing for my jumpsuit to puddle at me feet.

Eek!

"Do you trust me," he murmured.

More than my own life.

When I nodded, Arnav brought his hand to the clasp of my strapless bra and unhooked it, my bra joining my jumpsuit on the floor.

Holy crap its happening again, its totally going to happen again! Come on Kush, gather some sort of bravery and turn to him!

As if the pep talk had some power, I stepped out of my puddled jumpsuit and faced to Arnav. I couldn't meet his eyes for long, feeling rather shy, and my heated cheeks were sure to give that away. Arnav placed his arm around my waist and kissed me, and I melted. I placed my hands over his chest, grasping at the fabric of his shirt.

I wanted him and I needed him.

Tugging at his shirt, I began to pull it up. I have no clue where this bravery was coming from, but I wasn't going to allow myself to focus on that. Instead I focused at the task at hand and pulled his shirt over his head and dropped it on the floor.

Geez-us oh my, I don't think I'll ever get over that body of his!

My eyes met his and all of hell went loose, my lips colliding with his, my fingers losing themselves to his hair. I think I may have even stunned him a little, though I'm not positive since he kissed me back with the same intensity as well. His hands were at my waist and he slowly guided me to the bed, my back meeting the soft fabric.

Yes, its happening again!

Unlike last night, however, there was more of a sense of comfort. Even if things weren't going as slowly as yesterday, it was still a good pace. To tell you the truth, if things had gone as slow as the night before, I probably would burst into flames! Maybe it has something to do with our truths that has us much more comfortable. We both had been completely vulnerable with each other and neither judged, only trusted.

Arnav's hands traveled down to my panties and I arched up, letting him remove the fabric off of my body and toss it who knows where. Honestly I don't know where it was, my focus was on his soft delectable lips and the dance they were doing with mine.

Letting go of my lips, Arnav's lips latched onto my neck, sucking and teasing away at my flesh. While one hand rested at my waist, the other massaged my breast and it felt so good!

"Undo my jeans," Arnav muttered against me.

Sexy husband of mine say what now?!

Arnav pulled back and looked down at me while I looked at him, stunned.

He wants me to what?

"Khushi I- sorry, I don't know what got into me-"

Sorry?! "Don't. Just...."

He better not apologize or else things are gonna go in a whole other direction involving my tears and everything that happened before we ever got intimate and after we arrived to the island.

Damn, that wasn't even that long ago.

"Khushi-"

"Arnav I... it's just new to me, that's all."

"I understand, I just don't want you to be uncomfortable or force you to do anything you don't want to."

Oh Arnav...

Caressing his cheek, I gave him a little kiss on his lips. "I know," I whispered.

I wanna do it. I really want to do it. And I can do it, I know I can!

Bringing my lips back to his, I kissed him while my hand wandered down from his cheek to the button of his jeans. With all the courage I could gather, I undid the button and pulled down the zipper.

Ah! Yes! I did it!

Arnav pulled back and looked at me. We gazed away at each other for a moment, love and admiration floating in the air around us. With a kiss on my forehead, Arnav removed his jeans and boxers, leaving him in nothing but his gorgeous self.

Ugh, I'll never get over it.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

"You're so hot-"

Arnav arched his eyebrow while my hand smacked over my mouth.

What the hell Khushi?! What the hell, what the hell, what. The. HELL?!

Letting out a groan, I covered my face with my pillow.

So much for having sex again!

"Hey, Khushi," and he came over to me, taking the pillow away from me, revealing my red face.

Ugh why me?!

Arnav shook his head with a smile and kissed me. "You have every right to say to me whatever you please; you're my wife."

And embarrass myself to oblivion? Oh great!
"Hey, look at me."

I looked up at him and he kissed me once more. It was so good, it was enough to distract my mind from the embarrassment I had just put myself in, but thank goodness, it was now all forgotten thanks to these wonderful lips that belong to my husband.

Little did I know that my brain was about to be obliterated.

Arnav's lips traveled down along my body, his hands wandering along as well. I was so lost in passion that I never realized how far down he was going until I felt his lips there.

What the f-!

Looking down between my legs, I found Arnav's face in between them and holy crap, everything his mouth was doing to me was divine! I mean I have no words for it, holy fuck! He had reduced me to a mass of nerves, moaning and crying out his name in ecstasy as my fingers entangled themselves in his hair, my hips begging to buck and sway but couldn't due to his hold.

I had always heard that oral sex is amazing and you know what, I'm going to hop on that bandwagon and say fuck yeah it is!

My body began to rise and I recognized it very well from the night before. I was ready to orgasm, and as hard as I tried to pull away, I couldn't release myself from Arnav's hold. His eyes were on me but I couldn't look at him for long, as my head threw back, my eyes shutting as I cried out his name in pleasure and ecstasy.

Holy fuck that was amazing!

Thing around me blurred and hazed as I tried to regain my breath. I felt Arnav move around me and when my vision cleared, I saw him unroll a condom along his length.

Think what you want but just like that, I was ready. It was as if seeing him do that had completely filled up my health bar like this was some sort of video game. Think of it what you will, I was ready to go.

Arnav moved over me and with one slow thrust, Arnav buried himself within me and it felt amazing! There wasn't any pain whatsoever, thank goodness. I mean last night, it hurt a lot, but tonight I'm all good. It just took a moment for my body to adjust to him cause I mean that thing is big.

Everything after that was just... amazing! I don't think there's any word out there that could describe how wonderful it was and how great he made me feel. I will say one thing, however, and that is that love was definitely in the air. There was admiration for the other, and it could clearly be seen in our eyes. We trusted each other and loved each other.

And that's all that mattered.
