6 | The Tease

🪞MIRA🪞

It had been a week. A week of tense, unnerving silence. Not a single call from my parents or Viren. Normally, they'd stop at nothing to get what they wanted, pulling every string, and searching every corner until they found a way to reach me. But now... nothing.

And that silence? It was unsettling.

"Mira," Siddharth's voice snapped me out of my reverie.

He shifted beside me on the bed, propping himself up on one elbow, and his eyes met mine with warmth. Morning sunlight trickled through the curtains and it cast a glimmer that made his whiskey-brown eyes look like golden jewels.

"Again lost in some thoughts, Love?" he murmured and pressed a gentle kiss over the tip of my nose. My gaze drifted to his lips, and I couldn't hide the longing that sparked inside me. I could never get enough of his kisses; each one felt like the first.

The memory sparked a mischievous grin, and I looked up at him, knowing exactly how to push his buttons. "Just thinking about my first kiss," I teased and watched the curiosity blaze in his eyes. "Still remember the taste of his lips."

A spark of jealousy burned in his gaze. I didn't even get a chance to laugh before he scooped me up, lifting me as if I weighed nothing. His arms wrapped around me as he strode toward the bathroom with a smirk glued on his face.

"What the hell are you doing, Sid?" I protested, laughing as I playfully slapped his chest.

"Just reminding you who you belong to," his eyes darkened, possessiveness burning in his gaze.

"What...no!" I gasped. I knew exactly what he meant by that line; every time he'd say it, I couldn't walk straight for weeks.

Just as he reached for the bathroom door handle, ready to prove his point, a soft knock sounded from outside the bedroom.

"Yuvraj, Dadi-sa is waiting for you and Yuvrani in the dining room," the maid informed us from the other side of our door.

Sid looked at me and closed his eyes in annoyance while a deep sigh escaped from my lips. He freed me from his arms while I took the chance and instantly ran toward the bathroom. I locked the door behind me before my husband changes his intentions, and decides to spend the whole morning taking a shower with me without giving a fuck about the world.

"Tell her we'll be there in 30 minutes and also inform the old hag that if she's so hungry, she could have all the breakfast to herself." I heard him say with irritation coating his voice while I couldn't retain my laugh anymore at his annoyance.

I was sure as hell that Siddharth wanted me, and honestly; I needed him, too. It's been a month since we made love as we both were engrossed in our work and didn't get enough time to spend with each other but right now we have many other things to worry about as Dadi-sa would be on her way to kill us just because we skipped our morning breakfast.
