SS : I Can't Let Her Go! Part 32 - Maintain A Proper Distance

Khushi woke first...

Her whole body was aching...

She had only made love for the first time the day before...

And since then...she had lost count...

She got up quietly off the bed to go and shower...

Once in the bathroom she began talking to herself...

"...how long have we slept? Oh no...does anyone know that i'm in his room? i'm not supposed to be!" she huffed..."Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada...you think you have so much power over me...well...I am Khushi Kumari Gupta...Singh Raizada...and if you think your charms are going to make me swoon every time...you are mistaken!"

When Khushi came out of the bathroom she saw Arnav still sleeping...

She went over to him and sighed..."so handsome...so..." leaning over was making her muscles ache more..."such a sex  maniac!" she said a little louder than she should have...

Arnav stirred saying, "Shut up Khushi!"

She made a displeased face at him and thought..."even now...when you're desperate to have me any way possible, you still have the nerve to tell me to shut up..."

Feeling a new sense of power, she exited quietly and went to her room...

Once inside, she tried to unpack...

Seeing her things in a different closet made her heart sad...

She missed seeing her things beside Arnav's...

She tried to lift her bag of clothes but doubled over in pain...

She knew she was sore...

She lifted everything from the bag one by one...once she was halfway done, she heard her bedroom door swing open and shut loudly...

The locks clicked and she spun around in surprise...

...........

Arnav woke up and rolled over reaching for Khushi...

Who wasn't there...

He sat up feeling irritated..."she just got up and left?" He thought...

He could smell her citrus scent in the room..."so she just got up...SHOWERED...and left?!" his agitation growing...

Arnav got up and quickly went to shower...

His mind began concocting a plan to make sure she spent every night in THEIR room...

Finally finished, he strode purposefully to khushi's 'room' and burst in...

Locking the doors behind him...

...........

"Good afternoon Mr. Raizada...I'm just busy unpacking..." Khushi said light-heartedly...

He walked to her, not saying a word...

He stood close behind her, not touching her...

She felt his body heat...and her mind went into overdrive..."Why does all my resolve disappear when he comes near me...???"

"Khushi..." his voice started her back into the moment..."I don't like waking up and not seeing you beside me...."

Feeling her defiance rose again, she spun round to face him...

She was momentarily hypnotised by his handsome face and masculine scent...

But seeing his smirk brought back her determination..."YOU keep forgetting that we have to pretend we AREN'T married! The whole family thinks we aren't and if they find us in YOUR room alone they will want to throw me out..."

Arnav stood firm..."Throw you out?" he laughed cynically, "They can never do that...This house is mine...actually it's OURS...and if anyone make ONE move to hurt you, I will reveal that we are married, that YOU are the lady of the house, and that THEY need to leave..."

He moved forwards...

She moved backwards...

The power of her husband now making her shiver...

He planted his hands on the cupboard doors behind her...fencing her inside his arms...

Arnav leaned in and placed and open mouthed kiss on her cheek...kissing her all the way to her ear...whispering..."I love you Mrs. Raizada..."

Khushi tried desperately to control her breathing..."Arnavji..." he started kissing from her ear back to her cheek..." Arnavji...I think we should..." he kissed the corner of her mouth..."

"We should what..." he breathed...

"what?"

"you said 'we should'..." Arnav said grinning...

"we should what???" Khushi said softly...

Arnav pressed his body into hers and kissed her sensually…tenderly....

His hands caressed her body, stopping to massage and rub her most sensitive areas...

She felt herself giving in to him...

Khushi tried to muster up all her willpower to push him away...but she didn't have to...

A knock at the door interrupted them...

Arnav growled in annoyance...

Khushi just gave a small smile, ducked under his arm and went to open the door...

Payal stood outside, "Khushi...will you come and prepare food with me? We can spend some time together..."

Even though Khushi wanted desperately to continue that kiss, she knew that they both had to keep SOME distance...

"ofcourse Jiji...I'll be right there..."

Payal smiled and nodded...

Khushi shut the door and as soon as she turned around Arnav was holding her body firmly to his...

She instantly melted into his embrace...but soon remembered that she had to go downstairs...

She pushed, and wriggled...finally Arnav loosened his hold and said..."I love you...and I am the biggest idiot in the world for wasting so much time..."

Khushi's smiled beamed brightly ..."I love you too, but i need to go downstairs now..."

Arnav held her closer..."tonight..."

Khushi shook her head..."no...as much as i really...really want to...we HAVE to be careful...one wrong word and my family will never let me marry you..."

"Have you forgotten?...you are ALREADY married to me..."

"yes, but they don't know that...this was YOUR idea Mr. Raizada!!!!! So now we have to maintain a  proper distance between each other...you promised me that my family would accept you...please..."

Arnav knew she was right, but now that he'd finally started his relationship with Khushi...he just couldn't give that up...

"Yes I promised you that...I will always keep my promises to you...but..."

Khushi looked at him warily..."But? No no...no buts!"

Arnav held her tighter and started moving her backwards...

Her hands gripped his shoulders tighter making him ache for her all over again...

"Khushi...tonight..."

"No...I told you..."

Arnav captured her mouth so fiercely that when he finally pulled back she was unable to move, talk or think...

"Sweetheart...you come to me, or I'll come to you...either way...you're my wife...and your nights...ARE MINE..."
