Meant To Be Together

CHAPTER - 32

After a long, grueling day, Nikhil came back around 11 in the night and entered his room all tired, stepping into the familiar scent of his wife lingering in the room. The day had been relentless for him with a storm of projects, urgent emails, and back-to-back meetings.

Shreya was sitting on the couch, her legs on the table, reading a book with songs playing in the background. Upon seeing Nikhil, she gets up and goes to him.

" What took you so long?" She asked, taking his office bag from him and keeping it in bed.

" Had a lot of work and continuous meetings regarding our new hotel construction." He said sitting in bed.

" But, still you should try to come early."

" Why, were you waiting for me?" Nikhil asked teasingly.

" Hmm....Let me think." Shreya said pretending to think. "Maybe, so you better come back on time." She replied, shrugging her shoulders and hiding a smile.

" Okay, I will. But for now, let me relax." He said, pulling her hand, making her land beside him on the bed.

" At least have your dinner, first." Shreya exclaimed.

" I had dinner in the office itself." He replied, keeping his head on her lap, taking her by surprise.

As Shreya was wearing shorts, so when Nikhil kept his head on her lap, she felt ticklish. Her whole body jolted with sensations, feeling his soft hair on her bare legs.

" Shona, please give me a head massage." He requested, placing her hands in his hair. She started roaming her hands in his hair, massaging his hair and sometimes temples slowly.

" How was your day?" He asked after some time.

" As usual. First, the office then mom and I went to do Diwali shopping."

" And what did you buy?"

" A lot of things- home decor items, gifts for everyone and clothes for us too. I'll show it to you tomorrow. " Then we ate chaat and gol gappe." She said excitedly. Although she doesn't like to shop, festive shopping is something she enjoys a lot.

Nikhil turned to his left and snuggled his face in her stomach. He wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging like a baby seeking comfort. And here, she went all red with his closeness. She could feel his soft breathing on her stomach.

He slowly slid his hands inside her tank top from behind and started making random patterns with his long, rough fingers on her soft and delicate skin, sending shivers up her spine.

" Shona..." He called her in his deep husky voice. "Are you comfortable na?" He asked pulling back a little to see her face. " Although, I know you are always comfortable around me, still..."

Not having an ounce of faith in her voice and unfiltered mind, who would happily lose their control in front of him, she opted to stay silent and meekly nodded her head.

" Words, Shona. " He demanded

" Yes...." She breathed out and he continued with his sweet torture while giving light kisses on her stomach, while Shreya kept roaming her hands in his silky locks, calming her racing heart who was doing a marathon.

"Nikhil, how can you always sense my comfort?" Shreya voiced out.

Instead of answering her, he pushed her, making her lay on her back and hovering over her. He locked her hands with one hand above her head and his other hand was still wrapped around her waist. The whole act was so quick that she didn't get any time to register anything.

" What...what are you doing?" Shreya asked gulping.

" Answering my wife's question?"

" Like this?"
