Arranged By Shukla

Part 10

She was removing her make-up while standing in front of the mirror when she heard the sound of door being opened. Her eyes then went on Sidharth, who was coming out of the bathroom after changing his wedding attire.

Her eyes became wide and jaw dropped a little as he was wearing his shorts with no shirt on. Her gaze was fixed on his bare chest only. Her eyes then slowly followed the trail of water droplets dripping from his wet hair until it disappeared beneath the waistline of his shorts.

He couldn't help but smirk seeing her expressions and went close to her to tease her. Hearing the faint sound of footsteps, she came out of the trance and blushed seeing him coming close to her.

His every step towards her was increasing her heartbeat and to avoid his intense gaze, she turned her face towards the mirror again and started removing her necklace abruptly. Her heart skipped a beat when he back hugged her tightly.

Kissing her on the nape of her neck, he, in the husky voice said, "Careful darling"

"Let me help you" he spoke again while his lips continue to lingered on her neck making her close her eyes tight.

Her breath hitched and she let out a soft moan when he took her earlobe between his lips and started tugging it gently while removing earring.

Gently holding her shoulders, he made her turned towards him and removed her maang tika. The moment his long wide palm touched her soft cheeks, she opened her eyes and saw him smiling. A soft and shy smile appeared on her lips when he kissed her forehead and thanked her for coming into his life.

Saying this, he placed his hand on her bare waist and pulled her more close to him. She was feeling weak under his touch and closed her eyes again.

He let out a soft chuckle as he could feel her heart racing fast and leaned into her and started kissing downwards towards her cheeks trailing down towards her lips.

Their lips were just inches apart now. Brushing his thumb along her cheeks, he whispered over her lips to seek permission. A barely audible moan slipped through her lips in response.

He smiled softly before pressing his lips onto hers. They were so soft, so warm, and so gentle. He pulled back his lips only to capture her lips again. She parted her lips to respond the kiss while her hands started moving subconsciously over his shoulder.

She moaned into his mouth, as his finger trailed down her stomach and this made opened her mouth wider causing his hot tongue to collide against hers in a dance of passion.

After the long passionate moment, they pulled back because of the lack of oxygen and started panting heavily. He cupped her cheeks again and rested his forehead against hers while she was blushing even deeper. Moments passed but they continued to stand like this.

He softly brushed his lips on forhead to which she smiled sweetly and looked into his eyes. So did he. The love, admiration, respect and care for each other was clearly visible in their eyes.

Sensing the tiredness on her face, he realized his mistake. Because it was indeed a long hectic day and from above, it is so difficult to carry heavy wedding attire and in the heat of the moment, he forgot that she must be tired.

Brushing his thumb on her cheek and kissing her forehead again, he asked her to change into something comfortable.

Smiling at his inner thoughts, she hugged him tight and kissed his chest softly while mumbling 'I love you' and after that she made her way towards the bathroom.
