They stayed like that for a long time. Talking to each other. She was telling him jokes. Trying to make him laugh harder and he laughed at her jokes effortlessly.
The room was filled with their sweet laughter.
"Am I behaving like a joker?" She suddenly asked.
"No. What are you even saying" He chuckled.
"You might think I am mad" She smiled.
"Wo to ap hain mohtarma" He decided to tease her. He loved her cute faces she made everytime he teased her.
(That's what you are ma'am)
"Ap bhi Pagal hain phir" She narrowed her eyes at him.
(Then you are also mad)
"Main to ho gaya hoon pagal" He accepted gladly.
(I have become one)
"Kese?"
(How)
"Tum ny Pagal kar diya hy!" He caressed her cheeks and looked into her eyes.
(You have made me go crazy)
"Maine kese. Main koi jadugarni hoon!" She chuckled innocently.
(How can I. I am not a magician)
"Ho to sahi" He smiled at her words.
(Yes, you are)
His eyes fixed to her who was now hiding her face in his chest. He caressed her back gently and pressed his lips to her head.
...
"Why did you name me Dracula by the way?" He asked her, getting up from his study desk. He was done completing the task he had left in the hospital.
Inara was sitting on the chair of the dressing table, dressed in a white nightgown which had lace flowers on the neck. Her gaze fell at his back who was now drawing the curtains.
"You used to look scary back then because you would always be super rude to me" She complained, putting the comb on the dressing table.
He stood behind her and leaned down at her level. Pushed her hair back on her shoulders and whispered in her ears.
"Don't I look scary now?"
"No" She smiled feeling nervous.
She closed her eyes when his lips touched the delicate skin of her neck. He pushed her face to the other side for better access. He kept leaving open mouth kisses on her neck, made her heartbeat erratic.
"You are looking so breathtaking these days" He nibbled on her earlobe.
"Please" She muttered.
He made her stand up and turned her body to him. She could see the fire of warmth in his eyes. She knew what was coming next. She was very nervous but fully ready to be his and take the next step in their relationship.
"Get to bed!" He asked huskily in his deep voice.
He caressed her arm and himself went to the switch board to turn down the lights in the room. In the darkness, he moved to the bed on her side. Sitting next to her, he looked at her in the dim lights coming out from the door of dressing room.
She wasn't looking at his face.
He moved closer to her, pushed one of her sleeves down on her arm. Leaning down at her neck he bit her skin earning a moan from her. She grasped his arms to balance herself.
He pushed her nightgown from her legs to her abdomen, felt her soft skin till her soft belly that had folds. She wasn't a lean woman. His hands itched to touch every part of her skin.
She wrapped her arms around her neck as he laid her down on the bed. His mouth found hers in desperation. His one hand played with hair and the other one grasped her chest. With every passing moment the heat in the room increased to a next level.
He hands went between her thighs. She scratched his arms as he touched her down there. His fingers, his mouth, everything was doing magic to her. He took her to a height of passion she never knew existed in her.
She stopped him when he was trying to remove her gown.
"No! First-remove yours" She mumbled, unable to look into his eyes. The nervousness was killing her.
"As you say darling!" He pecked her lips quickly and started removing his clothes. She looked away, earning a chuckle from him. She closed her eyes when he joined her in the bed again.
"Eyes on me sweetheart!" Her heart fluttered each time he called her with these names, the sweet ones, the loving ones.
She fixed his gaze at him who was now removing her gown. She moved her arms up in the air to help him. The cold air touched her bare body. She wanted to hide herself somewhere at the moment where he couldn't lay his eyes at her.
"So freaking beautiful" He whispered in her ear before leaning down at her chest. Her eyes were closed when she felt his lips touching her delicate skin. Her hands moved in his thick hair. She pulled them harshly sometimes unable to take the torture he was inflicting on her.
"I am scared" She mumbled anxiously when he was finally going to join their bodies as one.
"Relax! Take a deep breath. It won't hurt you. I will be gentle" He kissed the corner of her mouth.
"Zulaid please! Don't hurt me" She begged him to not hurt her.
"Oh my darling I won't ever hurt you" His heart fluttered as she called him by his name.
"I want to hear my name from your pretty mouth" He bite her ear lobe.
She left nail marks on his back when he moved inside her, making her breathless. Skin to skin, mouth to mouth, they weren't the same person they were before. The passing night made them to be each other's in each and every way.
She was his.
And he was hers.
Zoi and Nara were always meant to be each other's.
