I wriggled in my sleep when I felt something wet and tingly on my neck. I tried to move but a heavy weight on my waist and legs stopped my movements. I was still in half sleep and as because it was disturbed, I frustratingly tried to push away whatever was on me only to get a stinging sensation on my neck.

I shot open my eyes to find Arnav beside me on my bed.

I raised my head a bit and saw his one arm around my waist over my stomach and his legs were tangled with mine.

"What are you doing?", I asked letting my head fall back on the pillow before I turned my head to face him.

His messy hair covered his forehead and eyes messily. The mullets weren't tied up so they were scattered over his neck and he stared at me through his half closed eyes. A small smirk was there on his lips. This is the first time I'm seeing him so messy and so close to me. He indeed has sinfully handsome features.

I looked down only to find him shirtless.

I looked up back to lock my eyes with him.

Neither he spoke nor I did. The silence of the room was the only sound existing right now. His grey eyes under the hair strands mirrored the primeval woods of a full moon night. Like the moonlight casting a soft shadow on the trees, the light rays casted a soft shadow on his orbs.

How funny it is right? The person I hated is now the new addiction of mine. I don't know why but I really can't stay away from the addicting cologne and presence of him.

"Are you running out of clothes? I wonder if mine would fit you", I spoke slowly.

He chuckled.

"I have. But I don't sleep with my shirt on"

I scoffed, "Then go and sleep n@ked on your bed."

"It's uncomfortable, doll."

"How's wearing clothes uncomfortable? I also sleep with clothes on", when I replied that, I noticed his smirk widening.

"Then you can sleep without them. I won't mind", he spoke so casually without knowing what happened inside me. I'd have felt disgusted if we had been in the same situation we were in during the initial days of our marriage. But now, my heart actually skipped a beat and my eyes widened.

I scoffed, "That's the premium version and for that, you'll need to bear too much pain."

"I'm always ready if it's you who's punishing", he replied calmly.

I didn't react but kept staring at him. Few seconds passed in the staring competition until he decided to snuggle his face against my neck while pulling me closer by my waist. I didn't protest but waited for his next action.

He started caressing my waist over the shirt material while pressing chaste kisses on my neck. I gasped.

My hands over his arm around my waist tightened their grip because of the sensations he was giving me.
