Day 14

Khushi woke up to the soothing sound of raindrops in the garden falling onto the pool. She looked over to find Arnav still missing from his space and leapt out of bed to check the swimming pool. Her forehead creased in confusion as she realised he wasn't there and she looked back over her shoulder to see his phone and watch still on top of the dresser where he'd left them last night so he obviously hadn't gone to work.

She left the room and wandered through the silent hallways as sunlight began to filter through the windows almost lighting the path towards her husband.

Khushi smiled to herself as she reached the open doorway to see Arnav with his back towards her running on the treadmill in the gym. He usually ran outside every morning while the family was at pooja, but the rain had obviously forced him to stay inside today although it didn't explain the change in his timetable. She allowed herself another minute to watch his back, covered only by a sleeveless vest and his lean legs encased in jogging bottoms move back and forth on the treadmill before she went back to their room to shower and change.

Arnav heard her footsteps approach but he continued with his press-ups. After another 10 during which Khushi hadn't spoken a word and barely breathed he sat up, still with his back towards her and pulled off his vest in one fluid motion smirking as he heard the gasp behind him. He wiped his forehead of sweat with the vest he'd just removed before casually throwing it to the side. 'Could you pass me my water bottle?' He turned his head only slightly to the side as he asked causing her to gasp again.

She shook her head to herself as she moved over to the table on the side to retrieve the water. Why had she thought he wouldn't know she was there watching? He always knew. She picked up the bottle and turned around to find herself thrust backwards forcefully but carefully until she was sitting on the table with Arnav in between her legs holding onto her shoulders.

'Like what you see?' He took the bottle out of her hand, taking a quick swig before placing it back onto the table.

Khushi tried to control her rapidly increased breathing as the heady musk of his sweat began to pervade the air around her and she looked up away from his chest and placed a hand on his cheek comfortingly trying to diffuse the tension that was practically crackling between them. 'Didn't you come back to bed at all?'

Arnav bent down slightly to rest his damp forehead on hers, his breathing still slightly laboured from his workout. 'I seem to have a lot of excess energy lately Khushi that I need to relieve. Maybe you want to help me out with that?'

He put his hands on her thighs and Khushi found herself automatically winding her legs around him as her hands found their way to his shoulders. She closed her eyes as he moved his hands away from her thighs and to her waist dragging her closer before his hands moved lower onto her rear and pulled her up in one swift motion and moved across to the wall so he could push her against it.

She could feel his face move closer to hers and she felt his breath brush against her lips as he spoke, 'is that a yes?' Khushi released a heavy breath before she tilted her head up to meet his and he crushed her lips to his. Their breaths mingled as tongues and teeth clashed together and they both clutched at each other reducing the space between their bodies to nothing.

Arnav gripped Khushi with one arm around her back and unzipped her dress with his other hand pulling her slightly away from the wall so her full body weight rested against him. Khushi pulled her head back and Arnav began to kiss her jaw and moved down to her neck as his hands moved inside her dress to touch her bare skin, sweating almost as much as he was himself.

'Khushi? Where are you? It's time for pooja.'

Khushi's head snapped back as she heard Anjali's call and she put her hands on Arnav's chest to push him away as she lowered her legs.

Arnav let her slide down back to a standing position but he kept his hold on her waist and pushed her back against the wall. 'You are one lucky woman, Khushi Singh Raizada. I would have won today for sure,' he whispered against her lips as he slowly slid her zipper back up again to the rhythm of the uneven footsteps that were approaching the door.
