Officially Married! (Editting)

Chapter- 23

"You've no idea how much I wanted to touch you" he sighs. Her mouth is agape, her lips forming the perfect 'O'.
"You've no idea how much I needed you, to eat you up and chew you to the core and still be loving and gentle." His hands grip her waist tugging her gently and hold her there bathing in her scent.
"You've no idea how much I wanted to do this..."

That's it! He is going to kiss me. He tilts his head slightly and brings his lips closer to mine. And...

"Ummmm yes baby..." Caroline murmured in her sleep. Then suddenly opened her eyes to find it was just a dream. But she wasn't sure if she should be relieved or sad. 'Well that didn't help' she thought.

Caroline's POV

*********

'Our marriage is just a deal' I kept chanting to remind myself. But why did I have to remind myself?

Arrgggghhhh! This was so frustrating. But his lips were so soft. Though I should not be thinking about those lips. Whoa! Hold on there. Why am I thinking about his lips? His soft and sweet yet wild and hungry lips.

I should just die!

Rule# You know that tingly little feeling you get when you like somebody, that's common sense leaving your body.

Fine yes! I like him! He is a nice guy. Though we had our share of disputes but still he stood by me when I needed him. He had peacefully accepted my presence in his life. Look at him right now. He is so at ease with me. Having his breakfast and did he just lick that spoon.

Well If his lips are so soft, I wonder what his tongue is capable of! I mean in my mouth, below my ear at that particular spot. Ummm yes! Now that's a good visual.

I visibly shuddered. Snap out of it Caroline! I was right I should just die!

"Hey! All fine in there?" he pointed at my head.

"You looked as if there is a very personal inner world war going on in there." He smiled and brought the spoon to his lips and licked the peanut butter off it. Arrrggghhh those blasted lips! And that tongue deserved an 'X-Factor' trophy or a Nobel Prize for extra ordinary performance in the field of...

I winced.

"You don't look good." Oh! Now he looked concerned, "Do you need me to call a doctor?" he wiped his fingers with a napkin. Those beautiful long fingers. Maybe they too are...

"Just stop it okay!"

Okay. Did I just say that loud? I shut my eyes just to escape this embarrassing situation and maybe when I would open them this would just be another dream. Another stupid dream. And when I opened them, no such luck. His face is tinted with confusion and worry in his eyes.

"I am sorry. Just woke up on my wrong side." He nodded but stayed quiet. This didn't seem good.

"Please say something."

"You asked me to shut up." He shrugged.

"It was meant for me."

"Caroline, relax. I understand you're worried about the situation with Ada and Mark. I too am worried about it. I know we have to face them today, everyday. We can't help it. But they are matured Caroline. They know better not to mix personal and professional life. So just relax. Think of it this way. We'll have plenty of chance to apologize to them. They just can't ignore us." And he smiled. And that smile.

I closed my eyes again. Better not let my thoughts wander again.

"You're right. Thanks" I offered a little smile.
