*Mature content ahead* (This is a valentine's day special update!)

"I guess you Know that Nisha's verdict is out next week....." he whispered as I gave him a gentle nod.

God....

-------------------

Finally, Sonakshi was discharged and was back to her parent's place. After shifting all her things to the penthouse, Dev finally decided to move in with Sonakshi. Despite his mother's pleadings and family's disapproval, Dev decided to do this for Sonakshi. He wanted Sonakshi's safety and happiness more than anything.

The penthouse was far away from Dev's parent's house. Nevertheless, it was slightly closer to Jatin's place which provided some relief to Sonakshi that she at least had some company nearby. Sonakshi decided that she would move in with Dev after a few days since her parents requested her to stay with them a few days before moving in.

During this period, Jay called Sonakshi and even asked her to talk to Dev about his decision. Sonakshi was perplexed with the situation. She tried convincing Jay. But that poor man sounded so devastated and disturbed.

Although Sonakshi supported Dev's decision, she never wanted Dev to be separated from his family. Especially his dad and sister. They loved him so much and they didn't deserve this. How could she face Neha and Jay again?

She tried talking to Dev, but everytime she said something, Dev would convince her that moving away was the best solution. Although she agreed with his thoughts, she couldn't help but feel guilty for being the cause of his family's separation.

Meanwhile, days passed as Dev tried his best to manage his time between meeting Sonakshi and handling his office work. He was grateful that Sonakshi was at her parent's place, because with the work load he currently having, he would not have been able to take care of her if she was with him. It was really difficult for him since he took lots of leaves for the past few weeks. Thankfully Jatin managed to help Dev settle lots of things at work, and as a reward, Jatin was promoted in his job.

----------------

Finally, the day was there, where Sonakshi decided to move in. The helpers took her luggages to their room while Dev glared at her.

"Sonakshi.......... Are you sure you want to do this?" Dev asked for the nth time as Sonakshi stood strong in her decision.

"Yes Dev! I want to.... How many times are you going to ask me this question?" she spoke annoyed as Dev stood there pondering over what he should do.

"I don't think it's a good idea...." He said hugging her from behind as his arms looped around her waist.

Today was an important day for both of them. A day where the wrong ones would be punished and the innocent ones get their justice. Today was the day, where they would get their justice for everything they had gone through. Standing in the judgement hall, seeing the criminal who was the reason behind their sorrows was going to be difficult for them.

Dev grazed her neck softly and pulled her closer to his chest.

"Do you really want to come? I mean..... you can just stay here-"

"No Dev, I want to come with you. I am not so weak..." she pleaded as she pulled away and cupped his face in her palms.

"I never said you were weak............it's just" he stopped when he felt her squeezing his hands gently, telling her that she was fine.

He sighed as he knew that Sonakshi had made her mind and she was much stronger than anyone he had known. He left her to dress up while he attended his phone which was bussing loudly.

"Hello Dev, Pooja here!"

"You don't need to tell me your name Pooja, of course I know!" Dev huffed as he heard her giggling.

"Okay where is Sonakshi?"

"She is dressing up.... She is following me.." Dev replied.

"What? Are you sure you want to bring her along? I mean..... what if she...." Pooja hesitated as Dev sighed tiredly.

"I have tried telling her and she really wants to come. I can't stop her. It's ok Pooja.... Maybe listening to the verdict might make her feel better......"

"Ok listen, me and Jatin are also going to be there-"

"Wait, why? I mean why are you coming?" Dev asked in a stern tone.

"Why not?"

"Come on! During pregnancy, you are supposed to see nice people and nice faces. Not someone like Nisha...ok? It's getting late... You take care and I don't want to see you there ok? Bye.." Dev rushed as he realized that it was already getting very late.

The car ride was silent as all the events which played that day kept replaying on their minds. It was easy for everyone to say that they should move on from the past, but that 'moving-on' process wasn't as easy as it seemed.

Dev looked at Sonakshi's face as she seemed restless and nervous. He gently squeezed her hands, assuring her that he would always be there for her. She smiled at him as his gentle gesture warmed up her heart. When they reached the court, Sonakshi gripped Dev's arms tightly as the paparazzi's surrounded them. With the help of police and Dev's personal guards, they entered the court. Bijoy, Asha, Jay, Ishwari and Nisha's parents were all already seated there.

Dev's POV

I grabbed Sonakshi's hands and lead her inside the hall when we saw Nisha being escorted inside. Once she was walking in, Sonakshi's body went stiff as my heart almost stopped working. I could feel her clenching her fists tightly. I immediately pulled her face towards me and pecked her lips softly.

"It's going to be okay. I am with you......." I whispered as I saw her visibly relax but she avoided eye contact with everyone, which was what, scared me the most.

"Breathe baby...." I whispered as I felt her gulp slowly and nodding.

Nisha was finally escorted to the prisoner's dock. She was chained and there were a few bruises adorning her face. Everytime I saw her, I felt a mixture of weird feelings. It was anger mixed with a bit of pity. Somewhere, I felt like I had wronged her. Had I given her any hope, which brought her to this stage today?

Just when I was drowned in my own thoughts, I felt Sona tugging me towards her side. I gave her a questioning look, when she leaned on me.

"You have done nothing wrong...... trust me" she whispered softly as I smiled half-heartedly at her. She was trying to make me feel better but somehow, this feeling was just nagging me, making my insides feel like liquid.

The case was already closed and only the verdict was left. However, this was the most anticipated moment for all of us. Everyone looked so tensed and I couldn't bear the tension in the hall. I couldn't bear to look at my mama in his eyes anymore. He was a nice man and now, I was the reason for his daughter to be in jail.

"So... are you, Nisha Bhardwaj, guilty of the crimes you have committed?" the judge asked as Nisha looked at me lastly. I didn't know what the look meant. There was no feeling or emotion found in her eyes like the previous time..... and maybe that's what I found so scary about her.

"Yes........ I, Nisha Bhardwaj, am guilty of committing those crimes which I committed!" she spat as Sonakshi clutched my hands tightly.

The judge starting writing something and after a long minute of silence, he spoke.

"I, Rohit Singh, sentence Nisha Bhardwaj to life imprisonment. According to the law and based on the evidences, it has been clear that Nisha is guilty of committing the crime of 'Attempt murder' on Mrs Sonakshi Dixit and her family members twice. Therefore, she will be sentenced to Lifelong imprisonment for 35 years." The judge said as he banged the hammer three times while everyone stood up. I sighed as Sonakshi's hands were still shivering. She still hadn't come out from the trauma and it was really difficult for her to be facing Nisha in this situation.

"Shall we go back love?" I whispered while holding her tightly.

"Hmm...." She hummed softy as her eyes were still trailing at Nisha who was being escorted back to the police jeep.

Nisha's head turned as she faced us with a blank look. Her eyes screamed of pain and terror. The moment she saw us, Sonakshi coiled her arms around me in fear as I protected her frame from the devil's eye. The last image I saw, was the bloodshot eyes of Nisha, staring vengefully at us.

*End of POV*

"Come on sweetheart......stop crying" Dev said as he tried wiping away her tears, but they never seemed to end. Ever since Sonakshi came back from the court, she had been constantly crying and he didn't know how he could make her feel better. He had already warned her not to follow him but she was the one who was stubborn about it and now, the after-effects were just like how he had expected it to be.

"Dev......we shouldn't have done that. Her whole life is spoilt now... What age is she now? 35 years..... I feel so bad Dev. She hasn't even lived her life..... the only thing she did was love you....and that made her a bad person..... Maybe we should have tried....tried talking to her....or making her understand" she mumbled as Dev looked at her with pity. He understood how she felt but pity was the last thing he ever imagined Sonakshi to feel.

"No Sona.... Look.... She knew that I loved you from the start. Yet, she still continued pursuing me. This isn't love sweetheart. It's obsession. She went to great extents to reach me but not even once, she confessed her love directly to me. I wasn't even aware of her intentions until the day of your accident. If she had proposed to me earlier, I would have at least told her how this wouldn't work. But unfortunately, she decided to go in the wrong way..." he said while wiping her tears.

"I know what she did is wrong Dev...........but I just feel so bad" she said as new set of tears started forming in her eyes.

Dev sighed and quickly started unbuttoning his shirt. Sonakshi was too busy talking, that she didn't even realize what Dev was doing until he fully removed his shirt.

"DEV....what are you doing?" she panicked as he smirked.

"You are still crying and I am running out of tissues here. So here you go....I am going to offer you my shirt!" he said as she gawked at him unbelievably.

"Oh my god Dev take it back..." she squealed as her lips curved into a small smile and soon turned into soft giggles. A sound which could make the lamplight more golden and the fires burn warmer. Despite her warnings, Dev kept tickling her when she didn't accept his shirt.

"Please.....I can't laugh more. My stomach hurts" she said while her hands clutched her tummy tightly.

Pushing him on his back, she hovered him as her face was now just inches away from his. She felt a shudder run down her body when she felt his fingers crawling under her shirt and tracing up her spinal column till he reached her bra straps.

"Dev.... We need to talk" she mumbled near his lips. She was still nervous about how to break the topic to him, but telling him when he was in a good mood was the best way.

"Hmm.... I am listening" he whispered, kissing her jawline.

"Please don't get angry if I say something.......... I....actually......err don't distract me" Sonakshi squealed when Dev tugged her pants.

"What?" he asked with an amused grin and she quickly got up and sat next to him.

"Dev............ Don't you miss your family? I mean... I know you are angry with them. But they deserve your love. Especially Neha and your dad....they were innocent-"

"Come on Sonakshi, don't be a mood spoiler now!" he whined as Sonakshi's eyes widened.

"DEVV! I am telling you something important...."

"Yea I do miss them but I don't want to go back. I am keeping in touch with my dad and Neha. I don't think I want to meet my mum ever again-" before he completed, Sonakshi cut him.

"Don't you dare lie! I know you love your mum. Come on Dev, I am not asking you to forgive her. Maybe you should you know just talk and make peace with everyone. It will at least make you feel better. I don't want to be the reason behind this entire separation..." Sonakshi said as sadness overpowered her.

"Is this what you wanted to talk?" he asked as she looked at him.

"Ermm....yea... why?"

"I thought we were going to talk about making more babies... " he whispered as her eyes widened.

"W-what? Come on Dev. I am talking such serious stuff and all you think is about.....ummmmm" she was cut in between when Dev slammed his lips harshly against hers.

His breathing quickened so did hers. Warmth radiated from her body as he started roaming his hand around her waist grabbing her intimately. Her fingers ran up and down his bare back, coaxing shivers out of him. The heat seemed to travel through her veins, warming her up. Just as she felt a rush of euphoric bliss enveloping her, Dev drew away.

Sonakshi inhaled sharply as she heard saw the intensity in Dev's eye. She couldn't form how Dev's passions arrived unannounced and ended explosively, like bombs. She bit her lips, trying hard not to moan, when she felt his hand lingering on her thighs.

Dev's eyes darkened with desire as his gaze followed her lips. With a small smirk, he lifted her right off her feet, carrying her towards the sofa, letting her fall with a soft bounce on the mattress. They lock eyes for just a moment, just enough for them to feel safe with each other.

"Do you know that today is our 'first-night' in this house?" he asked her as he slowly hovered her.

"Hmm....so?" she asked as she looped her arms around his neck.

"So, we should make it as memorable as possible." He whispered closely in her left ear as her body shuddered in pleasure.

It wasn't the first time for either of them, but the nervousness that crawled up under Sonakshi's skin was something she could never get used to. There was something about him that heated her up from the insides and melted her confidence to nothing.

"Quick and dirty?......or...........soft and slow?" he asked as her grip on him tightened. His dirty words were always his first weapon. They had the power to turn her on like crazy and he always knew how to easily make her surrender with it.

"Dev... You know, you should be giving me a break..... Since I just moved in today" she tried fighting but her voice came out as a moan, turning him on more.

"Are you sure you want a break? Looks like your body doesn't want one." he whispered as he lowered his head and captured her lips in a fury kiss.

Sonakshi moaned and instinctively, her hands slide up his body, fisted his hair and pulled him closer. The kiss got deeper and wetter as his body pressed into hers harder.

"I have given you a long break beautiful. I can't function anymore without my daily dose of Sonalisia" he said kissing down her neck and slowly parting away her thighs.

"Dev, we are still in the sofa" she mumbled in between her moans.

"Yea..........and in this house, we can do this anywhere because there is no one to stop us" he said boldly before kissing her fervently.

He removed her pyjamas pants in a swift and threw it down. He felt her hesitance as she tried to close her legs in embarrassment. No matter how much she tried, she couldn't deny about how embarrassed she felt about Dev seeing her scars, although they were fading away. Just the thought about him judging her made her feel nauseas.

"Dev-"

"You are beautiful Sonakshi. Dare you say anything against it, then I promise.....I will fuck you so hard that you won't be able to walk tomorrow morning!" he hissed as she gulped as stared at him.

Before she could do anything, Dev forced her legs apart and kissed up her slender thighs. Every kiss made her tremble and her toes curled up in extreme pleasure. His rough and eager hands, ran up her thighs, curling around her butt.

Soon he managed to strip her down and started kissing, nibbling and sucking her neck, making her wetter. She could feel his member twitching in his trousers. Her hands came forward and tugged his pants down with his boxers. He immediately complied to her, still having his lips nibbling her neck. In no time, he successfully striped her out from her tops, inners and grinded against her, making her moan loudly.

Voluntarily, her legs wrapped around his waist as she dug her fingers harder in his hair, clenching her eyes shut and opening her mouth in an O when the pleasure hit her. His erection invaded her wet core while his lips found hers again.

"I think I am falling in love with you again......" she panted as he moved his hips and slide in further, thrusting harder.

"By the time I am done..........you are going to ask me to marry you again...." He replied thrusting harder.

"God!!! You are huge....." she sucked in a deep breath when she felt him going deeper and stretching her exquisitely. Pressing his palm to her lower belly, he touched her throbbing womanhood with the pad of his thumb and began to massage it in slow, soft circles. Her core tightened and clenched, sucking him deeper.

"Fuch...baby...yea" he bit out, his teeth grinding. Dev cursed and gripped her hips harder. Immediately his body temperature rose, his torso radiating with heat as sweat dotted his upper lips.

Sonakshi kissed him as she rocked her hips, meeting his powerful thrusts. She arched her back and withered in pleasure. She could feel the orgasm building with every thrust of his. His eyes connected with hers and she couldn't even blink away from his gorgeous face.

She could feel nothing but the driving urge to reach her climax, the ferocious need to make love to him continuously until the tension burst and set her free of the grinding hunger rose inside her. She never felt this intense even though they made love many other times. Every time was a different experience and it just kept getting better.

"Dev....Dev....Ouh yes..." she sobbed as her nails dug into his skin while he continued his ruthless torture on her.

Dev captured her nape as the orgasm exploded through her until she trembled all over. She climaxed harder than ever, as her body jerked with every pulse of pleasure.

"Fuck fuck fuck...." He growled as he pounded her hips harder, yanking her hips down to meet his punishing thrusts. He hit the end of her with every deep thrust, battering into her. Her toes curled as she felt him growing harder.

"Sonaaa" he exclaimed as he came with an animalistic grunt of ecstasy. He shook as the orgasm tore into him.

He wrapped his arms around her and crushed her small framed against his, pressing his damp face into the curve of her neck. They stayed in that position, absorbing the aftershocks of their intense orgasm. He slowly turned towards her and kissed her forehead as she let out a long sigh.

"So, you said you wanted to talk something right?" Dev asked as Sonakshi was still looking at him breathless.

"I......I forgot what I wanted to ask.." she said as she looked at him in a daze. Dev chuckled as he brought a duvet and covered them in the large sofa.

"I love you!" he said as he pecked her lips while she snuggled into his arms and accommodated her head on his chest.

"I love you more" she said while hugging him tightly.

"Sonakshi......."

"Hmm?"

"Don't worry...........I will talk my mother one day...........when I feel it's the right time." He said as Sonakshi immediately became rigid. She instantly looked up at his face. His arms tightened around her as he smiled at her in assurance.

"Oh my god..... I can't..........I can't believe you....you are actually considering this..." Sonakshi's eyes teared as she kissed his nose and hugged him tightly. She never thought that Dev would be convinced this quickly.

"If this makes you happy, then I will definitely do this....."
