Discordance

Chapter Thirty-Nine

He wasn't sure why he was bothered by that small hickey near her neck. Logically he knew it was normal but just the thought of her being in pain and probably waking up sore as hell somehow tore at his gut. Even if she had been a more than willing participant, he still felt like he had somehow taken advantage of her innocence. To him, this had been one of the best moments they had shared together but what if she woke up and hated him? Or worse, regretted it?

The moment the thought crossed his mind, she somehow felt it in her deep consciousness because she wiggled that cute butt of hers seeking his bodily warmth and Abhimanyu pulled her closer to him hoping and praying that she was happy and content when she woke up. Poor thing, he had exhausted her on the first day of their trip.

The sky had turned darker, and he had to wake her up otherwise she would probably sleep through the night which he was more than happy to let her do but she needed food and he was selfish enough to admit that he needed her to be awake so she could talk to him and shower some attention on him.

He brushed her hair away from her shoulder and dropped a trail of kisses from her neck to her bare shoulder causing her to stir awake slowly mumbling about how she just needed 5 more minutes making him smile.

"Baby, c'mon you have to wake up" he said continuing his administrations.

She huffed in annoyance before pulling his hand and resting her face on his palm, except his arm brushed her very naked breasts making both of them freeze, clearly, she had not realized she didn't have a single stitch of clothing on and slowly their afternoon antics were catching up to her sleep muddled brain.

Before he could say anything, she clutched his palm over her ears and the gesture was so damn cute that  Abhimanyu choked out a laugh, he loved her so much.

"So you want to talk about it?" he teased and he could see her partially visible cheek immediately darken.

Pulling his hand away he deliberately turned her around much to her chagrin as she writhed to get away from him. "I just want to look at you once to make sure you're okay monkey" he said gently and she immediately stopped moving as she slowly trailed her hand between them, tugging at the hair on his chest making him smile. She had picked this small trait up the last couple of days and he was grateful for it because sometimes she said so much without using her words, he only had to listen for it.

"Do you feel alright? Does it hurt?" he asked tracing her blush with his thumb, when she refused to respond he tacked on "Words monkey."

"m'kay" she mumbled before wriggling up and burying her face into his neck, abating his anxiety, yet he needed to check "Do you umm regret it?" how was this tiny woman making him this nervous about every little decision he made regarding her, he would never know.

"No" she said, her breath hitching as she pressed her lips to his neck "Please don't make me talk about it" she whispered, and he kissed her hair running his palms over her back kissing her hair until she relaxed into his hold and sighed softly.

"They have a restaurant here which has great food, it's kind of dressy though. Do you want to go? I reserved a table for us just in case because I had not expected-" shit. She had said she didn't want to talk about it. Rambling like a fool he said, "I mean we can eat here too, I am kind of hungry...." Where was all this coming from?

"Abhimanyu" she moaned into his neck "We can go to dinner, I am ok."  He was about to pull away, but she clutched him tighter and whispered, "but you have to turn around."

She was so shy he couldn't help but needle her "Baby you know I saw it all last night, right?"

"y-you- are a monster" she said and pinched his waist with surprising strength making him yelp and pull away, rubbing his side. Groaning exaggeratedly, he turned away and pulled the sheet over his face letting her run away into the bathroom yelling a loud "MONSTER" behind her.
