Warrior - Chapter One Hundred and Six

 Once we discarded the used condom and quickly used the bathroom, Arnav and I headed back to bed. I immediately grew tired as soon as I laid down, and we both fell asleep. However sleep didn't last for long as I woke up very early that morning, even earlier than when Arnav would usually wake up. I couldn't be bothered to go back to sleep, especially since I found myself gazing away at the man that is my husband.

It's rather amazing, isn't it? How the dynamic has changed so much between us. Just a few months ago, all I could think of was when all of this would take a turn towards disaster and help me get back to the security of my old bedroom. Now... now I don't want that at all. Now, I don't want to leave Arnav's side whatsoever.

I just want to be with him.

Arnav's daily 5:30 alarm started to go off, causing him to wake up. In his dazed state, he moved back and silenced the menace, before returning to me and laying down once more, shutting his eyes.

Oh? "No urge to run today, hmm," I smirked lightly.

"Not the slightest," he responded, his voice quite groggy.

And he sounded sexy as fuck!

Opening his eyes, he blinked a few times before looking at me. "You've been awake," he said, no doubt easily able to tell just by looking at my face.

"Yeah, for a bit; I can't fall back asleep."

"You're not tired?"

"Not really; I mean I did spend most of the day yesterday in bed."

"Hmm," and Arnav pinched his lips together, looking down.

Please, let's not go down that moody path, I need to change the topic! "How are you feeling?"

He glanced up at me and his cheeks slightly reddened. "Uh... I mean... uh...."

I forced back my smile.

He's so cute!

"Um, I think I should be asking you that question," he said softly.

I couldn't help but to glance down at our covered bodies. "Oh, I'm fine. Sure, it took a moment getting used to Mr. Leviathan, but I'm good," I winked.

Although his cheeks were slightly red, his humor was obvious. "I have to ask; how did you come up with that name of all things in that moment?"

I'm not surprised he's asking this. "Well, when I was trying to pass time yesterday, I was watching some mindless television to help, and on one of the channels they were running a program about legendary beasts and they spoke of the leviathan."

Arnav's eyebrows shot up slightly. "Oh! Uh, wow! That's, uh... well that's interesting."

"Honestly, I barely paid attention, but somehow it registered in my brain," I shrugged.

Arnav chuckled lightly in return, and I couldn't help but to look at him for a moment, which was caught by him.

"What is it," he slightly frowned.

"Nothing like that," I replied, shaking my head. "It's just... well, earlier, I was thinking about how things have changed... especially for me."

There's no point in hiding it, it's better to be honest. I mean we've been so honest with each other pretty much since we first met. And I hope it stays that way.

"I mean I used to wait to see how this marriage would end," I continued. "I just... I mean you know all of this by now, you know what my outlook was like towards our marriage before. But now... I know it's taken me quite some time to get here, and I know for you it was much quicker, so to have to wait for me-"

"Khushi, before you say anything else, I want you to know that even if it had taken 20 years or more, I wouldn't have cared and would have waited," Arnav smiled softly.

For a moment, I just looked at him, and a small sigh escaped from my lips. "You're a sweetheart, really. I just... I'm really thankful that you weren't annoying or persistent in trying to get me, like some bug or something."

Arnav let out a small laugh. "A bug?"

"Yeah, a bug - or rather, a love bug," I smirked, which only made Arnav grin.

I couldn't help but to smile softly, then cuddled into his side, looking up at him. "Thank you for letting me move at my pace, even if it did take a while and I was annoying."

Arnav rolled his eyes with a grin, then looked at me. "The wait was worth it."

Unable to help myself, I reached up and kissed him softly. "Thank you, bug."

His eyebrow immediately arched up. "Is that a term of endearment?"

"It's in my head now, so yes!"

"Hmm.... In that case, you're welcome bug."

Ugh! He's too fucking cute!

Caressing his cheek in my hand, I kissed him deeply. Like last night, Arnav tried to respond, and he actually successfully did! Again! I must admit, I'm a little surprised, but given that this is the very man who a boy learned the trade of tailoring just from seeing his mother do it, why should I be so surprised that him learning how to kiss was an easy task for him? No, I shouldn't be surprised at all.

If anything, I'm more turned on than anything else at all!

Beneath the duvet, I started moving my foot along Arnav's legs, then wrapped mine around him, and maneuvered him over me, which Arnav easily obliged. As I laid beneath him, Arnav continued to kiss me, and something heavy laid by my stomach.

"Mm, I wondered about your morning hard-ons," I teased, pulling back from him.

Arnav's cheeks slightly blossomed. "Uh-"

"How did you take care of them," I asked, bringing my hands behind my head.

I'm rather curious actually.

"Well, uh... they don't happen that often," he replied, though he barely met my eyes.

Oh? "Is that why you run off in the mornings?"

His wide eyes met mine and I couldn't help but to laugh, which only made him redden more.

"Aww, no need to blush, I'm just teasing," I chuckled, then I wrapped my legs around him, bringing him closer to me. "Besides, even if you were to get them more often now, it wouldn't be a problem," I smirked teasingly.

"Uh... I mean... uh...."

Seeing Arnav flustered is just honestly a sight to behold. I mean remember, this is the very same man who had reduced another to piss on the golf course all that time ago, so to see him like this is quite interesting.

I urged him closer to me, surprising Arnav, again. "I'd like to play with the beast again," and I winked at him, making him even more flustered.

Too fucking cute! But, there is one matter I need to attend to before we get to play time. "However, just one question."

Arnav instantly frowned, curious.

"Care to explain where the box of condoms came from?"

You see, yesterday, after realizing that I couldn't just rough up Arnav and had to make it special, I realized that I wouldn't be able to do anything with him in the room. So how did I plan to get rid of him? By simply staring at him weirdly. I'll confess, I didn't expect it to work as good as it had, but fuck! That was a fucking success! I mean Mr. CEO didn't come back till after dinner! Which worked out perfectly for me because I was easily able to slip downstairs to Nigel, work with him and some of the other workers to get the materials I needed to help make the room look a little special. Once I dealt with all of that, it was time to pull out the negligee from the closet, only I had completely forgotten where I had shoved it away. So while I was looking around the closet, I came across a drawer that I wasn't using but was on my side, and found random stuff in there. Being the curious cat that I am, not to mention fucking nosy, I looked around and found a paper bag shoved in the corner. I retrieved it to find the box of condoms inside, as well as a note which read:

For when you'll need it

A & N

You don't need a brain to figure out from whom it came from, that's for sure, but still, I'm rather curious.

A pop of red spread on Arnav's cheeks. "W-well... that would be the idiots' fault. They, uh... that was a present, as they had put it, when they celebrated the news of us getting married."

Uh.... "So... this was supposed to be what, a bachelor's party?"

"Kind of, you could say. It was nothing like that, we just went to a club and got some drinks, and then those drunk idiots... bought that," he said, his voice getting slightly smaller.

"That would explain the paper bag and the note being written on the back of a receipt."

Seriously, it was a fucking receipt, not even on a damn card!

Makes more sense now, though; like way more sense.

"Well, that's rather humorous, that's for sure," I chuckled lightly. "It made one task very easy for me; otherwise I would've had to push last night to another night, and I don't think I'd be able to wait patiently."

"O-oh... oh," and Arnav's cheeks reddened once more.

What to do with this man, hmm? Too precious!

I pulled him back closer to me with my legs. "Especially knowing what I know now, and having felt what I have... there's no fucking way I would've been able to wait another night."

Reaching up, I placed a kiss on each cheek, his forehead, his nose, his chin, before bringing my lips over his.

"Would you," I murmured.

Arnav shook his head in return, fidgeting slightly. "N-no."

"I'm glad we're on the same page."

Looking over at my side table, I reached over and grabbed the box of condoms, and placed it closer to us. From inside, I retrieved a condom and held it between us.

"Do you consent?"

Arnav nodded in return. "Yes."

Reaching up, I kissed him once more and brought my hand in between us. I skimmed my hand over his length, which was hot and hard, the leviathan waiting patiently. Loosening my hold on him and breaking the kiss, I opened up the foil packet and retrieved the condom, then rolled it over his length, before kissing him once more. It quickly crosses my mind that this is the first time that not only is Arnav on top of me like this, that this is the first time he's ever been on top of a woman like this.

Pulling back, I caressed his cheek. "Are you ready," I asked softly.

Arnav nodded, giving my hand a squeeze before placing a kiss in the palm of my hand.

"Don't overthink it."

His eyes met mine and I caressed cheeks with my other hand as well, bringing his forehead to mine.

"Do you trust me?"

"I do," Arnav nodded. "Do you trust me?"

A small, soft smile spread across my lips as I looked into his eyes. "I do."

Reaching down, I guided his length to my entrance, and ever so slowly, Arnav buried himself within me. A loud, guttural moan escaped from my lips as I tossed my head back, my eyes rolling to the back of my head as I shut them.

Yeah! It feels that fucking amazing!

When I felt that he was buried within me completely, I opened my eyes and looked up at Arnav. It was clear on his face that even this was so fucking good to him, I mean he looked like he was trying to gather himself and not lose it. Tilting his face up, Arnav looked at me, and I kissed him softly.

"We can take this nice and slowly," I murmured. "When you're ready."

Arnav nodded, then taking a gulp of confidence, Arnav slowly pulled back and fuuuuuuuuuuuucking hell, even that felt soooooooo fucking good! Like last time, he slowly buried himself within me, and again I couldn't help the load moan that escaped from my lips. As he slowly moved and learned his pace, we continued to kiss slowly and passionately. My hands wandered along his body, feeling him anywhere and everywhere I could reach him. Even my lips began to wander, kissing him wherever I could.

From the corner of my eye, I noticed the alarm clock, showing that it was a little past 6.

Well we're off schedule. "Arnav," I nearly whispered, "you're late... for your run," I gasped.

"I don't care," he murmured in return.

A grin immediately spread across my face as I looked up at him. "Then you'll be off schedule."

Arnav only hummed in return, focused on his concentration.

"If you do that... you'll be late... for work."

He momentarily paused, looking down at me, and the look in his eyes made my heart skip a beat.

Fucking hell, what in the-?

"I don't care," and he began to move again, though slightly quicker.

Huh? "But-"

"I didn't want... to go yesterday... either," he slightly huffed.

What?

"I didn't want to leave you."

A foreign feeling ran through me. It had a mixture of sorrow with happiness, and just like everything along that spectrum. It felt as if my heart were humming and floating, going up to cloud nine even! I even felt my eyes sting a little, tears wanting to form, but I forced them back and kept the small smile that was playing on my lips.

I caressed his cheek into the palm of my hand. "I love you, Arnav Singh Raizada."

Taking my hand in his, he placed a kiss in the palm of my hand. "I love you, too, Khushi Singh Raizada."

Covering his lips with mine, I urged him closer to me, not wanting to let go, whatsoever.

Fuck it, I'm not going anywhere today.
