Trusting heart - ArShi - show based

7- First night, or is it?

This part contains slightly mature content

Arnav was relieved to finally be allowed into his own room. Akash was able to go more than half an hour ago, and he was still in the living room, waiting, in the teasing smiles of NK and his sister. Fortunately, Shyam and his mama and mami have already excused themselves to sleep. He suspected what was happening in his room. Since Khushi wasn't supposed to get married today, she probably didn't have "THE talk" with her mother, so the latter should have asked his nani to do it. This thought irked him. He hated this idea that a husband would have rights over his wife's body. Yes they were married, but she still was a human being with feelings. How couldn't they realise that those "rights" didn't mean someone should do anything he or she wasn't comfortable with ? He knows that he has to tell Kushi about his views about their physical relationship.

With that thought in mind, he pushed the door open, after giving his wallet to his sister as a part of who knows what ritual, at this point, he doesn't care. He went inside and quickly locked the door. When he turned around, he saw Khushi, on his bed, she looked like a fairy and he was mesmerized. He walked to her in daze, almost forgetting what to say. But seeing her quivering lips, he regained his stance. He sat beside her on the bed and she shivered a little. He felt a little uncomfortable with her reaction. He gently took her hand in his, and waited for her to get comfortable enough to look at him. And she did, a few seconds later. He gave her a gentle smile, and sensing her relax, he said

"Khushi, I told you earlier that our relationship will go according to the pace YOU are feeling comfortable with. I don't want you to feel pressurized in any way, ok? The fact that we had to get married today doesn't change that. And please, I want you to feel free to talk to me about anything, I don't want to see you shiver because of my nearness anymore. Don't take the elder's words on intimacy as a mantra, ok? I won't claim any rights or whatever on you. It's your body, so you choose when you feel comfortable enough, and I also will tell you if I don't feel comfortable with anything. As for now, I just want you to trust me. Besides, this shy avatar doesn't suit you at all you know?"

He winked at her, and she grinned at him. She was feeling so shy because of his words at the beginning, but then she knew that it was normal for a couple to talk about these things, she just didn't think of this part a few hours back when they confessed and decided to get married the same day. Nani's conversation about wifely duty disturbed her because she wasn't at all prepared. Not that she didn't know what normally happens on a first night, but she wasn't at all ready today. Despite loving Arnav, and having a strong physical attraction to him, it was too soon. They have just confessed their feelings and didn't even have a proper first kiss ! Thinking of that, she thought that could be a good compromise to have something to celebrate tonight. After all it was their first night, the day they confessed their feelings and also Valentine's day !

Moreover, she was confident enough to kiss him. She trusted him, and wanted to share her first kiss with him today. So she just went with the flow and placed her lips on his, after his comment on her shyness, for the second time today, hoping that he would understand that she was ready for a proper kiss.

They didn't move for a little while, Khushi not really knowing what to do next and Arnav still shocked by her boldness.

Seeing him not reacting, Khushi decided she would just follow her instinct and started moving her lips, capturing his bottom lip.

Her action sent an electric jolt through Arnav's whole body and his reaction was instantaneous, he put his arms around her waist and started responding to the gentle, yet sensual kiss. Her arms instantly went up around his neck and they deepened the kiss, letting their tongues dual with each other. Their hearts were racing and they felt short of breath a few seconds later and reluctantly broke the kiss with a few pecks, then looked into each other eyes and smiled widely, feeling at peace in the safest place : the other's arms.
