Her Husband

Chapter 17

I stirred a little in sleep before waking up, the sun was shining brightly outside letting me know we had overslept but I didn't' care, its our honeymoon anyways. I turn a little and find Manik's face beside my arm

He looks so sweet when he is sleepy, his hair falls on his forehead messily, his lips were plum and I have never noticed this but he has a long sharp nose. Oh and let's not forget how long his eyelashes are making me wonder if in the future our kids would have his eyelashes

I caressed his cheek kissing the junction where his forehead and nose meet, as if recognizing it's me he leans closer to me making me smile. I run my fingers through his hair as he cuddles in my neck

"So handsome" I whisper kissing his hair

"Flirt with me when im awake, though I am flattered" he mumbles scaring me for a second but I grin realizing he wasn't a sleep

"You seem to like my hands on you when you are pretending to be a sleep" I whisper running my other hand down his back gently

"I like your hands on me all the time" he says pulling me closer

"Yeah? What would anyone say when they see their leader so cuddly with his wife?" I ask

"They would automatically assume I love you and thats not wrong, I do, I just don't know how to tell you"

"You just did" I say trying to calm my raging heart

"Not like this, I mean properly, on my knee kind of a thing"

"Don't need it, this is perfect. Repeat it one more time" I say

He pulls away from my face a little and opens his eyes slowly, he was still very sleepy but I am selfish and needed to hear those words again

"It's early and fast, but I do love you. I have never met a woman like you. You make me feel happy, something that was taken away from me years ago but gaining you in my life filled every single void I had, some I didn't even know about. Nandini, I didn't live my life like I have been with you for the past couple days, before you, it was just work and I didn't care if something happened to me on a mission but the one I went on yesterday, my heart and head was filled with you. I thought about what would happen if I died, I thought about how you will be without me and that never happens. At first it was distracting but I turned it into my strength. Sure in an ideal world, love does't happen so fast but it did with me and you. I suck with emotions and words, you'll see me having a very hard time with telling you how I feel but I feel a lot for you. For me, love is something that makes you feel wanted, something that can make you happy no matter what and you are that person for me. When I'm angry, your silliness doesn't anger me further instead I like how you don't care if im angry, you will always put your point forward. When I am stressed, your smile works like magic"

"You do love me huh?" I tease

"I do, I really do love you baby" I grin at his words

"I love you too Manik" I whisper against his lips as he smiled against mine

"Me more, fuck, you are perfect" he groans when I kiss when

I smile as he takes charge of the kiss, pouring all the words he couldn't decipher to let out in front of me. That's the thing about manik, he is a man of a few words, but good words.

I moan in his mouth when he gripped my hips which let him access to slid his tongue inside my mouth as we kissed. i try breathing through my nose but it was getting way too much so I pull back resting my head agsint his chin, he chuckles a bit before kissing my head

"Don't laugh at me you monster"

"Im not baby, shh" he coos kissing my head a couple times

once I finally gathered myself, I look up in his eyes smiling at him. Leaning up a little I gently rubbed my nose along his making his close his eyes holding me tight
