Vikram POV

Once I was finished with my workout, I rushed into my room for taking a shower and head to an important meeting I had, Diya and Zyra had woken up and I could hear them in Zyra's room when I came up. 

I quickly finished my shower and stepped out in my towel when the sight in front of me surprised me, taking my breath away. Diya stood in front of me in her blouse and underskirt. She was trying to fasten the hooks on the back of her blouse with great difficulty. 

Diya is already hot, but looking at her like this, I was confused about what I should do, should I help her ? or should I just let her know that I am in the room and startle her, it would not help our situation, would it? In fact, she would shout or get anxious and I would not like that to happen, so like a very nice, helpful guy I am I went ahead and kept my hands on her shoulders keeping a straight face. She looked up in the mirror and met my eyes, she looked surprised and shy

Me: Let me help you

Only I knew how I got that sentence out of my parched throat

She left the hooks and let me help her. I can still feel her looking at me but I concentrated the task in my hand, buttoning up the hooks. I did it slowly, gradually taking up my time, I dint want to rush it and risk breaking the hooks so, I did it one at a time, trying not to caress the soft skin in front of me. Once I was done I rushed into the washroom and stayed there until I could vouch that she was gone from the room.

Oh my god, how difficult it was to see her and not touch or take her in my arms. It was torture to not look into her eyes and kiss her senseless. Her soft skin, her captivating eyes, her perfume everything is making me insane, she is making me doubt my own self-control that I wonder how did I stay single for this much time. Crazy isn't it?

Okay, focus Vikram. Get ready you have a meeting !!

Diya POV

I woke up to the sun rays falling on my face, I turned beside me and saw my little munchkin, playing with her hands. Awee, she woke up but she did not wake me up, that is very sweet. I snuggled with her for a few minutes, fed her, bathe her, put on a diaper, and gave her to Aunty so that I could quickly shower, by the time I was done, Zyra needed me so I put on a nighty, and a robe on top of it and ran to hold her.

Once she was put to her nap, I went up to change my nighty and wear a saree because today is my first day after marriage and I would be cooking for the first time in this place as a daughter-in-law. When I was trying to hook my blouse, it was a little tighter, so when I was struggling to hold it and hook it, Vikram put his hands on my shoulders. His touch shot up a spark in my body, making my breathing faster than normal. When I looked into his eyes I was a goner, all I knew was one thing, I am his wife, and I love him so right now even if we steal a sweet moment I am not going to say no to it.

He focused on the task at hand, when his fingers slightly brushed against my skin, it felt like my skin was waking up from its sleep. His breath fanned upon my back making me crave something which I never know until now. I wanted to turn back and hug him, I wanted to hide my face in his neck and let him hold me tightly to his body but the shyness in me drew a line.

Vikram was in his towel, there were a few droplets of water dripping from his body, his orange essence from the body wash, and his hair was uncombed, falling over his forehead but his eyes, were like a lion's gaze when he looked into my eyes through the mirror in front of us. He finished hooking up the hooks and left while I stood there to compose myself before draping my saree and rushing to the kitchen to finish my cooking ritual.

Vikram's POV

When I dressed up and came down, aunty was setting up the table and Diya was slowly arranging the breakfast on the table. Our eyes met for a few seconds, I wanted to know if she felt embarrassed or nervous or shy, or anxious when that moment happened. Maybe I should have just let her know I was there and let her cover up until I took my clothes and rushed back into the washroom but I just went with what my heart told me and now it is enjoying my plight.

Diya freaking smiled at me

After a moment of staring, Diya smiled at me and asked me to join them for breakfast. She served the food to both me and aunty while aunty insisted that she joins us too. I tasted the breakfast she made for us, it was something I loved, she made poha with sandwiches and sweet porridge because of her ritual today. I made up my mind that because it was made by Diya, I will obviously love it and when I did taste it, it was mind-blowing.

Aunty gifted her a bracelet for the ritual while I had another gift for her. I cleared out a special area, for her in my study room, because from now on she would be joining her masters, she would be needing her own space too, to study, to do her assignments, and to have that peace. I showed her the area and she said she loved her gift with a twinkle in her eye, which told me she was not faking the smile, she genuinely loves it.

While I was busy with my meeting, Diya left for her college to submit her documents and attend the orientation after changing her dress. I wished that I could have joined her, but I had this meeting and she was late. 

I thought we were going in a good flow until a moment between us changed everything
