I Love Being Yours

Chapter 34

Through stormy seas and sunlit days,
Support whispers in countless ways.
A shoulder offered, strong and true,
A love that sees the good in you.

Ekansh POV

The morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room. I woke first, the soft light illuminating Aarthi's serene face as she slept beside me.

Her head rested gently on my chest, her soft breaths brushing against my skin. I could feel the steady rise and fall of her chest, the warmth of her body against mine, and I marveled at how beautiful she looked in the morning light.

I couldn't tear my eyes away from her. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly as she dreamed, and a faint smile played on her lips. I reached out, almost unconsciously, to brush a stray strand of hair from her face.

My fingers barely grazed her skin, but the touch sent a shiver down my spine. In that moment, I felt an overwhelming sense of contentment.

I couldn't believe that this amazing woman was now a part of my life. As I watched her sleep, I made a silent promise to myself: I would do everything in my power to make her happy, to make her feel cherished and loved every single day.

After a while, Aarthi began to stir. She blinked her eyes open, momentarily disoriented.

As she remembered where she was, a deep blush spread across her cheeks. She realized she was nestled in my arms, her body pressed close to mine. The intimate position made her heart race.

"Good morning," I whispered, a soft smile playing on my lips as I looked into her eyes.

Aarthi blinked sleepily, her blush deepening. "Good morning," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

I chuckled softly, my heart warming at the sight of her. "Did you sleep well?" I asked, my fingers gently caressing her cheek.

"I did," Aarthi said, her eyes meeting mine. "It was the best sleep I've had in a long time."

I felt a surge of joy at her words. "I'm glad," I said softly. I didn't want to move, didn't want to let go of this perfect moment, but I knew we had to get up eventually.

Aarthi, feeling self-conscious about lying in my arms, started to pull away. "Shouldn't we get up and have breakfast?" she asked, trying to hide her embarrassment.

Sensing her shyness, I tightened my hold on her. "Not yet," I said, my voice a low murmur. "Let's stay here a bit longer."

Aarthi hesitated, her heart pounding in her chest. She looked up at me, her eyes searching mine. "But..."

I smiled and leaned in, my lips brushing against her forehead. "Please," I whispered, my voice full of tenderness. "Just a little longer."

Aarthi's heart melted at my words. She nodded slowly, allowing herself to relax in my embrace.

My hand moved to her hair, gently running my fingers through it. The touch was soothing, and Aarthi closed her eyes, savoring the moment.

As we lay there, I couldn't help but lean in closer, my lips finding their way to her ear. "You're so beautiful," I whispered, my breath warm against her skin.

Aarthi shivered at the sensation, her cheeks turning a deeper shade of red. "Ekansh..." she began, but her words trailed off as I kissed her earlobe, sending a jolt of electricity through her body.
