THE LEGAL BIND

Chapter: 37 - Firsts.

Vardaan Singh Rajput

I went to see Gurmeet as we didn't have any time to talk after the wedding. It was all so spontaneous. We decided to meet at a nearby café. He was already there when I arrived. I took a seat across from him. "Hey," he said. He seemed tired. "Kya hogaya? thaka hua lag raha hai," I asked. He said he was working all day today and that he was running around town for meetings. "We could have met another day; you should have headed home to rest." I told him. He just dismissed me with a wave of his hand. "So, did you talk to Revika? How did she come around last minute?" he asked.

I narrated to him the events that took place. I told him how Reva realized her love for me and decided to stop the wedding just like I had predicted. He as shocked to say the least as he was very confident that Reva could never be the one to wreck one relationship for selfish reasons. I did agree, but I countered that she was in love with me and she saw her only chance and pounced on it. We talked a little more and I asked him why he left his only best friend's wedding early, he said he got called for an emergency.

I didn't ask further. We had our coffees and headed back home. We were going to hang out more, but I decided it was better not to as Gurmeet seemed very tired. I came home early and noticed that everyone was in their rooms. I helped myself with a glass of water and headed to our room. I opened the door and walked in only to see Reva standing in front of the mirror admiring herself in a short white dress.

I was entranced, would be an understatement. She looked really good. I felt hot all of a sudden. The dress barely covered the entirety of her long legs and not to mention the exposed part of her cleavage. I was finding it hard to look away from her. Where did she get that damned dress? I looked away with much difficulty. She had seen me through the mirror and she cleared her throat, like reflex my head snapped towards her direction and I felt the need to compliment her.

I fumbled out the words and it sounded like a question, I mentally winced, what was I doing? She seemed amused at my misery and teased me about it as she asked if I was questioning it or actually complimenting her, I told her it was an actual compliment. I cleared my throat. "Kahi bahar jaa rahi ho?" I asked, my voice rougher than I anticipated. The thought of her stepping even into the balcony with her outfit was maddening.

I'd cause murder and go feral if anyone were to lay their eyes on her like this. "Nahi, certainly not wearing this. Anamika gifted this to me today, a late wedding gift, I was just trying it on." She spoke. I let out a 'good' under my breath. I would be tagging along with her if she went out. My protective instincts kicked in before my admiration did. She had a teasing grin on her face, she probably heard me. Two can play the game. I smirked and took off my overcoat. I placed it on the bed and began to walk in her direction.

Surprisingly, she began to walk towards me as well and met me halfway. "So, I just look great? Nothing else you want to add to that?" she asked with her hands behind her back, leaning forward. She was such a tease. Up close, she was prettier, she didn't wear make - up, her bare skin was ethereal. "Hmm, I don't think I do, did you want me to shower you with compliments, wife?" I asked with a grin of my own.

She had a frown that she quickly covered. I almost snorted, she looked adorable when she was annoyed. I slowly stepped slightly closer and took her hands from her back. I held both her palms in my hands and brought them forward. I looked into her eyes and kissed the back of her right hand, "Beautiful" I whispered, she visibly shuddered. I liked that I had an effect on her. I went ahead and kissed her left hand, "mine," I said. She stared at me wide - eyed. She was flustered.

We stood there gazing into each other's eyes, when all of a sudden, she leaned forward and slid her hands up and behind my neck. Subconsciously, my hands held her waist. Reva was breathing heavy. She tiptoed to reach and kiss my forehead, then my cheeks. She left a peck on my nose. Then she stilled and went back on her feet as she gazed at my lips, I waited. I'd wanted her to initiate anything she wanted, not because she felt obligated to. A few seconds passed, my own breathing uneven, I rubbed circles on her waist with my thumb.

In a snap, her lips were on mine. It took me a second to register and as soon as I did, I kissed her back. Her hand tugged on my hair as the kiss got heated with time. My hand slid up her back and into her hair. I tilted her head upwards for better access. She moaned and I took it a step further. Our lips were sucking each other's and our tongues colliding, it was almost unreal. We couldn't get enough of each other. We only stopped kissing when she tapped her fists on my chest to indicate she needed air.

Our breaths heavy, we were panting as we looked at each other. Her face red and lips swollen. She looked like a mess, my mess. I was overcome with a strange satisfaction, a feeling of contentment. It was so fulfilling to experience Reva this intimately. I pulled her close and held her in my warmth, it was the only way I could think to calm down my raging heart. We just kissed, a kiss that she initiated. My thoughts right after led me to think what if she regretted it. I pulled her out my embrace and held her by the shoulders as I looked at her. I carefully observed to find even a hint of regret, but there was none.

Her brows furrowed like she was confused about the sudden inspection, but seconds later she might have realized because she spoke up, "You are my husband, I feel safe with you and I could never regret anything with you. I truly like you so much, Vardaan Ji, I can't say if I love you yet, but I'm getting there." She said it so soft and with so much reassurance in her eyes, it resonated in me. I believed her, I knew she wouldn't do something just because it seems to be done that way. She did it because she wanted to.

"Peelon teri saundhi saundhi saanson ko har dam..pee loon, hai peene ka Mausam.."
