"she taught me how to live. And that's when I realised I knew how to survive but I didn't know how to live.. untill she became a part of my life.. incase My life itself " -Devansh Rajvansh
Devansh Rajvansh, A man of one word, the eldest son of the...
"Thoda or close, ha ha, bas" The photographer kept blabbering while taking our pictures. Right now me, Shreya, Reyaansh and maa papa were clicking photos together. I was just standing like a statue beside her when the photographer said.
"Please keep your hands on her waist"
I froze at the thought. Her waist was barely covered with her clothing, and placing my hands there means touching her skin. My heart thumped in my chest in nervousness. Maa, papa and Reysamsh looked at me waiting for me to do it.
"kya ho gaya?" Reyaansh grumbled.
(what happened?)
I shook my head and slowly raised my hand. My cold hand landed on her warm flesh making her shiver. I could feel her goosebumps under my touch and the crimson shade on her ears that spread slowly.
I felt my own body heating up by the feeling of her under my hands. I knew this was right. I had every right to touch my wife but it felt wrong to do so. I pulled her closer by waist, pulling her flush against my side.
"Perfect!" the photographer exclaimed.

"Dekh Dev, there is a family tradition.," my maa said as she cleared her throat. Her voice was unusually serious.
It was 12:23 am now. The reception had just ended and everyone was getting ready for bed, though Shreya was in Devika's room getting ready for suhagraat. For me, I was inside Reyaansh's room changing my clothes.
Neither me, nor her were allowed to go in my room till dadi says. Dadi approached me slowly. leaning against her stick.
"Beta, Devansh,, It is your first night with your new wife, and to prove her Innocence, We will check your bedsheets in the morning, to see if there is blood" she said in a cold tone.
There was me, Reyaansh, Dadi and maa in the room. Now It fell heavily silent before Reyaansh scoffed. "That is invading their privacy" he protested.
"No, It is Not. It is a ritual and I will do as I am expected to. It's my duty"
"You. Are. Crazy." He grumbled.
"Reyaansh! Mind your language." Maa scolded him. His expression remained stoic as he looked at me in disapproval.
"And if she doesn't bleed." Dadi paused. "She will have to bear a punishment"
My heart thumped in fear, Punishment? Punishments in our family is not common and not something a new member can accept. Fear, guilt and worry raced through my body, my eyes widened a bit. I wanted to ask what punishment but Reyaansh asked before me.
"And what is that punishment?"
"She won't be able to live in this mansion, she will have to shift in our maid's quarter"
Silence never felt so annoying as it did now. I spoke, "Lets not predict future." I turned around and walked to the window.
"You can go see your bride in your room now" maa said before leaving me and Reyaansh alone. Dadi also walked out with her. I turned to the door ready to leave when Reyaansh spoke.
"Don't hurt someone who is completely Innocent, just to make her bleed"

The moment when I entered the room, my eyes fell on the figure sitting on the bed. Wrapped in a bright red saree, hugging her delicate curves. She stood up as soon as she saw me, after marriage this was the first time for us together.
I have never touched a woman before like I was going to touch her. She looked a flower swelled with honey and maybe I was the bee who's going to suck out all the sweet honey she held. I honestly, didn't want to touch her, not yet but as Dadi's words..
I was too dutiful to think about her., maybe I was blinded by it if you call it that.
She stood there fidgeting with the hem of her saree. I closed the door behind me and walked closer to her. My steps were short and slow. I didn't even know what to do or what to say so I just stood in front of her.
She held up the glass of milk in front of me. her hands were shaking. So as always I took her hands in mine and asked the question I wanted to ask the most. "do you trust me?" I placed the glass of milk aside.
She hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Say it." I murmured. I wanted to hear her voice. She never really spoke too much when we were alone. And from now on she have to. I held her chin, making her look at me. "Please.."
She gripped my hands tightly. "I trust you Devansh ji.. just.." she paused.
"Say it., finish your sentence"
"Just don't hurt me.."
Ouch, it hurts. Knowing that I was gonna hurt her eventually. It will be her first, as it should be., and if it is, it will hurt for sure. But her murmur not to hurt her, hurt me more than I imagined. I couldn't promise her, but atleast I could try.
I leaned closer and placed my hands gently on her waist "I will try.. even if I hurt you.., I swear I will take care of you" I whispered. My hot breath touched her ear, making her shiver in my arms.
"I'm sorry.." . . . I'm sorry too lol. I had fever and still have that so I couldn't post. 😭 And all family problems and other events were also there so I couldn't post for three days almost. But I'll try to post regularly.
And also my other story, 'The last one Standing ' I am kinda enjoying writing that so writing this one is becoming boring but still I will complete this obviously..
I have so many things to write that my head is exploding with shits.. 💩
And the main thing, Should I include smut?
