The next morning, Aadya woke up feeling hot breaths against her forehead. She opened her groggily and saw her husband sleeping peacefully. She smiled and closed her eyes, hugging him.

She suddenly pulled back when she remembered what all she had done last night. Her gaze fell on his lips and she gulped. Did she really do all that? Or was she dreaming?

She bit her lip and slowly brought her fingers to his lips. Her thumb, unconsciously moved over his lower lip. She looked horrified and froze when his lips curled into a smile and he opened his eyes.

They continued to look at each other. Him with a mischievous glint in his eyes and her with wide horrified eyes.

And then without any warning, he hovered over her and she gulped.

“Yaad hai aapko kal raat ko kya hua?”

(Do you remember what happened last night?)

She lowered her lashes and nodded. He held her chin and made her look into his eyes.

“Do you regret it?”

She shook her head and he smiled.

“Agar wo sab dobara ho…toh aapko aitraaz hai?”

(If it happens again…will it be wrong to you?)

No! Never! Kiss me! Touch me!

She wanted to yell but didn’t have the courage to, so she just shook her head. He smiled and leaned in.

“I’m going to kiss you…stop me if it gets too much at any point.”

Before she could respond, his lips came down on hers. Her legs involuntarily wrapped themselves around his waist and pulled him in.

He kissed her deep and passionate and she moaned into his mouth. He sucked on her lower lip and nipped on it. She rubbed herself against him wanting, needing a friction.

His hands got bold and came up to cup her breasts. At first through the clothes and when she didn’t object, he entered them inside her clothes and cupped her bare breasts.

He twisted and pulled her nipple, he pinched and squeezed it making her moan. Rudra had just started to pull his shirt over his head when they were interrupted by a door knock.

“What?”

He asked a little rudely.

“Sahab wo kitchen band ho raha hai…aap naashte ke liye aa rhe hai?”

(Sir the kitchen is about to close…are you coming for breakfast?)

Rudra sighed and rested her forehead against hers before replying.

“Haan aa rhe hai 15 minute mai.”

(Yes, we are coming in 15 minutes.)

“Jee sahab.”

(Ok sir.)

Rudra got up reluctantly followed by Aadya who couldn’t meet his eyes. She could still feel his hands over her body and didn’t believe that it was she’d really done all that. And enjoyed it too.

She took her clothes and started going into the washroom only to be stopped by a hold on her wrist. She looked at him and he gave her a naughty look.

“Saath chale?”

(Should we go together?)

Her eyes widened and cheeks reddened. She pushed him slightly and rushed inside. She bolted the washroom door and heard his laughter. A shy smile formed on her face and she giggled.

They spent the day exploring other famous sites of Shimla. By the time they returned to their guesthouse, Aadya was a blushing mess because Rudra had been giving her teasing and meaningful glances all evening.

She somehow knew she was in for a long night. And honestly, she was ready. She loved him. And she knew he did too. They didn’t have to confess. Their actions and eyes were enough to convey it. 

She frowned when she saw Rudra put something on the door and then lock it.

“Kya kia aapne?”

(What did you do?)

“DND ka sign lagaya hai.”

(I put the DND sign.)

“DND?”

She asked, confused. He closed the distance between them and whispered.

“Do Not Disturb.”

His words travelled to her core and her breathing went haywire. He traced a finger down her face to her neck and to her collarbones.

“Aadya…tell me what you want. Kya aap ye chahti hai?”

(Do you want this?)

She nodded and he smiled bringing his lips down to hers. The kiss started slow but soon turned hungry and messy.

Rudra walked towards the bed making Aadya backwalk. She stumbled once and he picked her up, making her round her legs around his waist.

He put her on the bed and pulled his sweater and t-shirt over his head. Aadya felt her mouth run dry at the sight of his naked chest. She knew he worked out daily because he has to maintain his physique. But God! He had a delicious build.

Rudra pulled her sweater over her head too and kissed her neck as he unbuttoned her shirt.

Aadya gripped his naked shoulders and breathed heavily when he nipped at her neck. Her hands got a brain of their own and started moving down his chest. She felt his chest and abs under her fingertips.

Her fingers reached his belt and she fumbled with shaking hands to unbuckle it. He paused and saw her do what she was doing.

She fumbled more under his gaze and lowered her head, her movement slowing down. He held her chin and whispered.

“Aaj aap sharmaayengi nhi.”

(You will not shy away today.)

He then kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear.

“It’s just me, Aadya. Do it!”

She bit her lip and finally unbuckled his belt putting it away. He smiled and took off her shirt, leaving her in just her bra. The chillness of the weather hit her and she shivered.

He covered them with the blanket and kissed her while playing with her breasts. She arched her back and he unclasped her bra making her gasp in surprise.

He took it off her body and she hugged him trying to hide her naked form. He placed soft kisses over her crown and forehead until she loosened. 

He slowly pulled back to look into her eyes. His eyes silently asked for her permission, she blushed, lowering her lashes and loosening her hold on him so that he could do what he was planning to.

Rudra moved lower and took her nipple in his mouth while gazing at her face to gauge her expressions. Her eyes fluttered shut and lips parted at the sensation that shot through her body.

Rudra played with her breasts as he wished and she writhed due to the newfound sensations she was feeling. The cold weather did nothing in front of the warmth their bodies were emitting. A thin sheet of sweat had started to form on her forehead and she shivered due to the intensity of the emotions.

Rudra rocked his pelvis against hers and she ground against him in sync. Rudra felt like bursting through his pants and stopped making her whine in confusion.

He pushed the duvet off and unbuttoned his pants. Aadya bit her lip and watched with rapt attention as he kicked off his pants. She could see the outline of his bulge very clearly and gulped involuntarily.

He held the hem of her jeggings and pulled it down while looking into her eyes. She closed her eyes as if hiding herself. He smiled and kissed her head.

“Look at me Aadya!”

She did and he kissed her softly. She bucked when he pulled her panties aside and rubbed her swollen clit.

Her eyes fluttered and back arched with pleasure. A soft, breathy moan escaped her lips and she immediately bit them to control her moans. 

“Don’t stop them! Let me hear you moan.”

He whispered while entering his finger in her and she held his bicep while he moved his finger inside her at a steady pace.

He added another finger and curled them inside her. Her hips lifted off the bed and she almost saw stars due to the pleasure she was feeling. 

Her body shook violently as she came on his fingers and she bit her lip in embarrassment. She couldn’t believe she did that.

“Hey! Hey! Look at me.”

She looked at him with a timid gaze and he kissed her forehead. Their underwear came off next. Aadya tried hiding herself but closing her legs but Rudra held them open.

He didn’t have a condom with him and cursed himself mentally. He should have gotten some on the way.

“Mere paas condom nhi hai. Do you still want it?”

(I don’t have condom.)

She frowned and asked what it meant and he realised that she’d never heard of condoms because they did not have it in their village.

“Aap bhut young hai abhi. I don’t want you to get pregnant so soon. Condom unwanted pregnancy prevent krta hai.”

(You are too young….Condom prevents unwanted pregnancy.)

He explained and she nodded. She then bit her lip and whispered.

“I… I trust you.”

He kissed her head and lined himself against her.

“I’ll pull out. Tell me if it hurts too much, hmm?”

She nodded and he slowly pushed himself inside. She clutched his shoulder and released a wavered breath as he settled inside. A fear fell from her eye, which he wiped and kissed her head.

“That’s it. You’re doing great. Just stay with me. Yeah? You’re doing amazing.”

He whispered softly and she felt herself relax. He slowly moved and she round her legs around his waist. That made him go deeper and she felt her toes curl.

A thin layer of sweat formed on their bodies and the next few hours were foggy with their passionate love making.

Aadya felt complete and thoroughly cherished. He had been so careful and considerate, making sure she was comfortable at every stage and she felt herself fall for him a little bit more.

Even in the aftermath, he held her close and made sure she felt fine. He covered her with the duvet to ensure she didn’t feel cold and rubbed her muscles to soothe the soreness.

In that moment, Aadya knew…she had found her forever.
