Happy New Year in advance.

Since it is last day of this year, I had to update today, and I will be updating on Sunday as well. So yeah!!

Also, A lot of people might have in their mind that the magic Arrange Marriage had, Forever doesn't have it. The reason behind it obvious - The concept of Arrange Marriage was a little bit different from Forever. There, Manik and Nandini were new to each other and exploring their feelings. And now in Forever, they know what they have for each other. And then, isn't Forever based on the concept of handling it all together? So I guess, the change of behaviour is kind of obvious.

Still if anyone has any doubts, You can ask me.

Also, Inline comments are absolutely love.

Enjoy Reading

Nandini glared at the six feet tall giant man, who also happened to be her dear husband sitting right infront of her. She was certainly a fool to think if he would let go of the matter so easily.

She wouldn't be surprised if Mukti tells her tomorrow that Zubin has backed out. Afterall, her husband was a monster - A green eyed evil monster to be precise for all the world out there except for his closed ones.

There were possibilities he might have scared the shit out of Zubin.

Or maybe warn him to never come close to Mukti again.

He could do it, there was no doubt.

Nandini: Manik, You have my swear, tell me what did you do?

Manik: And why would you think I did something? Do I look like a evil monster to you?

He defended himself, specifically narrowing his eyes at her. Why did everyone think of him as a monster?

While Manik tried his best to play innocent, Nandini knew better than to believe him. Her husband was anything but innocent.

She mirrored his expression and he only blinked at her innocently.

Nandini: That's because you are a monster!

Manik: Even in the bed?

And there, Nandini looked at him wide eyed. Manik smirked, realising he had managed to dodge the topic so easily. He bend down, his nose almost touching hers and she crouched back letting out a small squeal.

Manik: What? Tell me, am I a monster even in bed?

Manik smiled which was anything but sweet. He pushed his face in her neck inhaling in her intoxicating scent. His arms rested on her either sides, completely trapping her between himself and the headboard.

The smile on his face turned into a low key smirk as he watched her tilt her neck to give him more access. Her cheeks crimson red and breathe shallow. Oh how much he loved his effect on her! He hadn't even layed a finger yet, and there she was all red already.

Manik: So sensitive, you are, no?

He chuckled pulling back and Nandini's eyes snapped open in his direction. It took her a moment to compose herself before she glared at him.

Nandini: As if you aren't

Manik: Ofcourse, I am not.

Nandini: You are! Accept it, Manik!

Manik groaned, clearly denying the harmless accusation thrown at him.

Manik: Prove it!

Nandini: Gladly.

She smirked and oh, Manik knew he was doomed today, for sure.

Mature Content

Oh Holy damn fuck!

Manik cursed out loud for the nth time. He growled, already regretting teasing his wife who was pumping his shaft ever so effortlessly. Ten minutes, and another orgasm- how did he underestimate her so much?

Just as Manik was facing the aftermath of his second orgasm, Nandini rubbed her hand along with his length again, all ready to tease him more. His member twitched in her hold, and Manik let out another loud curse.

Why did he tease her at all?

Manik: S-Stop!

Nandini: Why? You wanted me to do this na-

She teased, rubbing the tip with her thumb and Manik let out another loud groan. His whole body shook, head thrown back and sweat ran like water from his body. His eyes were almost dropping and mouth slightly parted, palms fisting the white bedsheet below him on both sides.

He was highly sensitive and Nandini knew how to take full advantage. She smiled at him innocently as he stared at her with his half closed eyes. The look didn't help her at all, the heat between her legs only pulsated more.

Manik: t-too much-

He managed to utter, as his figure trembled in her hold. The slow torture on his junior wouldn't even let him think straight and the fact Nandini wasn't letting him adjust was only worsening it all. He leaned forward and threw his head on her shoulder. Nandini held him willingly, her one hand going around his neck, running in small circles which only made his condition down there worst.

Oh where did she even learn all this from?

Nandini: So why don't you say what I want to hear?

Manik: P-please?

Nandini: Not this, Manik-

Manik: Fi-Fine, I- I won't - tease y-you aga-again- fuck!

And there he released again with a loud grunt. A series of harmless curses left his mouth as he panted hard and finally Nandini decided to have some mercy on him and stopped. They sat there in the same position for few minutes until Manik calmed down and when he did, he looked at her like a hungry wolf.

And even before Nandini knew her head hit the soft pillow and Manik was staring down at her.

Manik: Damn you woman!

Nandini laughed out loud despite feeling the heat on her cheeks. And although Manik was sure he wanted to take revenge a moment ago, seeing her laughing so carefree, he couldn't help the smile forming on his face.

He chuckled, and grabbed the tissues from the side table to clean her hand.

Manik: Where did you learn all this from?

Nandini shrugged, dismissing the topic and when Manik narrowed his eyes at her, she very smartly pulled him down and took his lips in a soft yet rough kiss. Her hand found it's way in his hair, twisting and tugging at them while Manik let his hands roam under her t-shirt on her bare skin, earning neeady moans from her.

Although, Highly sensitive, Manik was still a monster in the bed.

Mature Content Ends.

That night, Nandini wondered from where did her husband actually got so much of stamina. She, who was untouched got tired before him and he, who was tortured by her and already had three orgasms still held her after they were done.

He took her trembling body in his arms, rested her head on his chest and rubbed her back continuously to calm her down.

As they layed on the bed, exhausted and tired from the events, Manik let his fingers run on her bare skin in random patterns. He was in deep thoughts when the brush of soft petal like lips on his chest broke his trance.

He looked down and Nandini smiled at him. Her eyes sparkled in the dark room with all the happiness he had provided her with and Manik felt himself drowning in them yet again.

This woman, the one he proudly calls as his wife, or the one who gave herself to him without any regrets- how much he loved her. He could never ever put it in words.

Nandini watched him as he cupped the side of her cheek and let his thumb trace her soft skin. She shivered slightly - from the touch or the cold but smiled at him. He bend down slightly, placing his lips on the side of her cheek and let them linger there for a moment while simultaneously muttering an I love you.

Nandini: Me moree. What are you thinking about?

Manik: You.

She blushed, much to his surprise and bend down her eyes. He watched in surprise as she scooted closer and wrapped her small arms around his big figure. Was he really married to this woman for two years or it was just an illusion?

Nevertheless, Manik reciprocated the hug with equal favour and patted her head in an attempt to make her sleep.

Manik: It is late, sleep now.

Nandini: But you aren't sleeping yet.

Manik: that's because you are tired, I am not.

Nandini let out a complaining whin. Manik let out a chuckle and as he did, his chest vibrated making her giggle.

Manik: By the way, don't you think you get tired so easily these days?

Nandini frowned for a moment, actually pondering over his words and then shrugged carelessly. Manik shook his head in disbelief as he read her expression.

Manik: Nandini- You know I hate this behaviour!

Nandini: Okay fine, Might be because I am skipping meals frequently.

Manik: And may I know why?

He passed her a glare and she only smiled back sheepishly. It wasn't her fault exactly. Her taste buds were being moody and there wasn't anything worth eating. Even the chocolates didn't taste like before, she pouted in dismay.

Nandini: I don't feel like eating, Manik.

Manik: Nandini, this is no excuse-

Nandini: I am not making excuses na, I feel pukish, I swear.

Manik looked at her concerned but Nandini seemed less bothered about it. It might be for any stupid reason, why to worry so much - she thought.

Manik: We are visiting the doctor tomorrow. No arguments.

He added sternly seeing her opening her mouth to argue. Nandini sighed and in return he only pushed her on the bed and hide his face in her neck. Nandini muttered something but it fell into deaf ears. Manik only chuckled at her, his chest vibrating making her giggle again. He smiled and snuggled more in her.

Manik's peaceful slumber was broken an hour or two later when he felt the warmness in his hold. It took him a moment to realise that the heat was radiating from Nandini's body who was almost shivering in his arms. She was constantly moving, trying to push herself in him to find some warmth.

Worry filled inside him and concern took over its place as Manik checked her forehead and found out she was burning in high fever. Manik's first instinct was to cover her properly. She was butt naked inside the thin blanket. He immediately stepped down from the bed and wore his boxers and lower in haste.

He took out a comfortable night wear from her side of the cupboard and made her wear it without any delay. Dropping the Ac's temperature, he got another blanket to keep her warm enough.

Manik hadn't dealt with fever ever in his life. He himself gets so cranky when he is sick, and then, Nandini wasn't the one to get fever frequently. There were hardly a number of times she got mild one and even then Manik had his mother beside him.

Today he couldn't even call her. The entire room smelled of sex, all thanks to their never ending passion. There was no way he could let anyone enter their room right now.

He thought for a moment, picked up their clothes from the floor to keep them in the laundry basket and then picked up the used tissues and dumped them into the dustbin. Spraying the room freshener, he looked around to make sure there was not anything he had missed.

Nevertheless, it was definitely not his priority right now. Wearing a fresh t-shirt in haste, Manik left his room and took fast steps to his parents room.

Both Niyonika and Raj were sleeping peacefully when the loud knock on the door disturbed them. Niyonika, being a light sleeper woke up first. She could hear Manik calling out for her in panick.

Manik: Maa!!

Niyonika: Manik?

She frowned and opened the door only to find a worried and tensed Manik standing there.

Manik: Maa, Please come with me.

He without any other word held her hand and started dragging her with him.

Niyonika: Manik? What happened? Is everything fine?

Manik: Maa- Nandini!

And that alone was enough to worry Niyonika.

An hour later, Manik sat beside Nandini on the left side of the bed, caressing her hair while Niyonika changed the damp cloth on her forehead at frequent intervals sitting on the right side.

Raj who had came in search for his wife and also to know what happened, was sitting on the couch equally worried.

Raj: But how did she caught fever suddenly?

Manik: I don't know, Dad. She was fine when we slept.

Niyonika: Calm down you both. It is a normal fever.

Raj: Is the fever down already?

Niyonika shook her head in no and glared at him for saying it out loud infront of Manik who was already so tensed. He shrugged and came beside them.

Raj: Give her medicines too, Manik.

Manik: Haa- that medicines-

He stopped up and took out a medicine box only to sigh in frustration. Okay, he had absolutely no idea about any medicine in the box. He just know it was kept there and that too Nandini had told him so many times.

He looked at his mother cluelessly who let out a chuckle at his expression. She took the box from him and showed him two different blister packs.

Niyonika: Who will say your wife is a doctor, Manik!

Manik: Maa! Don't tease me!

Raj laughed out loud as Manik took the packs and popped one pill out of each. Niyonika stood up to make place for him.

As Manik sat beside Nandini, he called out for her and patted her cheek softly in an order to wake her up. Nandini moved, called out for him but didn't wake up.

It took Manik an entire moment only to have her open her eyes. He made her sit properly and looked at the pills in his hand. They were round and big in size - how will she gulp them down.

He sighed and gestured her to open her mouth. She did and he kept the pill inside and gave her the water. Nandini did try to gulp the pill but the taste was so bitter that she gaged and almost threw up. Manik patted her back and even wiped her mouth when she was calm.

He made her lay down again and looked at his parents who were silently standing there watching him take care of her.

Manik: Maa, Dad, you both please go and sleep. I will take care of Nandini.

Niyonika: But-

Manik: Please Maa?

Manik wanted to do this. He had always seen Nandini caring for him. He wanted to take care of her. He couldn't just sit there and see her suffer from this fever, even if it was normal.

Niyonika and Raj looked reluctant but agreed when Manik assured them again.

Raj: Take care of her.

Niyonika: And call me if you need anything, okay?

Manik: Okay, Good Night.

He smiled faintly at them. His mother caressed his head before they both left. As they did, Manik turned to Nandini who had slept again.

She looked so tired, and it broke his heart to see her like that. He caressed her hair and placed a soft kiss there before taking the damp cloth and keeping it on her forehead.

The entire night, Manik continued to do it. It was almost morning when he felt his eyes dropping. Although he tried his best to stay awake, he couldn't help but let the sleep engulf him. And even in the sleep, his hand didn't stop caressing her head.

To Be Continued.

So, one more chapter down. Somehow I feel comfortable in updating now a days. I hope it remains the same in the future as well.

Anyways, How was the chapter?

A word for Monster Manik? *wink*

Do share your views.

Take care
Have a nice sleep
