She was taking fills of him in her orbs. An infinite amount of love was pouring out of her eyes for that praise worthy face of her beloved husband. Well, not every time beloved.. but still every time.

He ran a hand through his well made hair and took a sip of his drink, and continued the conversation he was invested in. Something important it was. And important wasn't his thing. But well, cricket is a thing that can never be unimportant. She has to agree on that note. And she does.

She picked up her phone from the table and went where Karan was standing with some of his friends, as one of them had nodded her as greeting. So she had to go and greet.

"Hi Preeta, this is Akash. How have you been?" He asked forwarding his hand to her. She smiled and shook hand with him. "I'm good," Akash pulled the hand back and nodded. "I've heard about you, and your beauty. But I must say, the praises I've heard about you were really unjust. All those words are such understatements in front of the beauty you possess." She smiled quite nervously. "Thank you."

Karan was literally giving death glares to Akash by now. He actually liked it, the appreciation of Preeta's beauty, which is definitely worth it. But it was getting too much now. The thermometer of his possessiveness was going to burst anytime. Akash noticed it and brought in the conversation back that they were having. After a minute or two they were again busy in their talks, while someone's eyes were tracing every feature of the fine man standing in front of her. The movement of his lips, the depth of his eyes, the perfectly sharp nose, everything was so inviting that she was deep lost into them.

He took another sip of his drink and the veins of his neck slightly popped out as he gulped in. Damn. Only she knew how she was resisting it. Her eyes were still stuck on his face.

"Yeah, bye."

After shaking a hand with Akash, he turned his face towards Preeta who was still gazing at him. She immediately averted her gaze as she saw him noticing. Although he is hers, and she has all the rights to stare at him, but this is PreeRan... and PreeRan is this.

She turned away from him when he held her from elbow. Travelling his hand from her elbow to the lower part of her arm, he intertwined his fingers with hers. The warmth of his hand was so comforting. She was looking down and her cheeks had all the blush they could have.

She was lost in her feels when she felt him pulling her with him. He took her to the porch and stopped right there. No one was around, all were busy in the party happening inside. It was some business success party.

Preeta was giving him questionable + confused expressions, while he was just simply having a slight smile. He took his steps forward to her, causing her cheeks to go red. He sighed and taking a stride, came in front of her face keeping the distance of an inch between them. Her eyes were fixed into his with a blush on her face, and he was smiling at her with all the love that his heart contains for her. Infinite. Uncountable. Endless.

Shifting from his eyes, her gaze went to his dimples that made her smile wider. Karan couldn't stop making a chuckle at her oh-so-cute expressions. His heart was so soft for her always. Yes it took him long to realize, but as long-as strong-as lasting. She was his life, and he had learnt it by his soul now.

Leaning some more closer, he covered his arm around her back, keeping his hand on her shoulder. Her heart was beating erratically as closer he was getting. He removed her hair from the side of her ear, and got his face close to her ear.

"You dropped it,"

He whispered in her ear with such a husky tone of his that would do nothing but cause her a heart attack. She clutched his blazer tightly as his breathes touched her skin. She was literally going weak on her knees.

"Hun?"

Coming out of the magic affect that he had spelled over her, she asked confusingly—that what he just said to her.

"This,"

He replied, showing her a silver sparkling earring of hers that he had found lying on the floor. "Oh.." She forwarded her hand to take it from him but he drew his hand back. Taking his left hand out of her hair, he held the earring in it. Covering his right arm around her neck, he held her earlobe from the hand, and began to put in the earring with the left one. It was taking him quite some effort though.

While he was busy in his struggle with the earring, she had her hands clutching his blazer slightly, and her face dug in his neck feeling the warmth of his body and the hot fragrance of the perfume he had applied on. An irresistible havoc was going on inside her.

Finally he got done with this hardwork he was performing. Sighing, he was about to move away when he felt her soft lips touching his neck, and his breathes stopped right there.

Trailing her lips from his neck to his throat, she put a slow peck over there, making him hiss slightly. Her hands had left his blazer and were now holding the sides of his neck, and her face was dug in his chest. She didn't know what was happening to her, but today she was all lost in him.

He wanted to say nothing, do nothing, except for keeping his hand on her waist, and his forehead on the top of her head, closing his eyes. Heaven.

Don't know for how long they stayed in this manner.. they only came out of their dreamland when his phone pinged. She turned away to go but he held her arm and pulled her on his chest.

"So whipped today,"

"I know, I'm a vision today."

"I'm talking about you,"

"You're also a vision today."

The words didn't slip out of her mouth but she said it all knowingly, lovingly. A bright grin appeared on his face.

"Is this my wife?"

"What do you think?"

He smiled and heaved a sigh.

"Only mine." He replied, enveloping her in his arms.

"You're always a vision, babydoll."

A big smile carved on her lips that he could feel on his chest.

"Is this my husband?"

He chuckled as she repeated his line.

"What do you think?"

She slowly broke the hug setting her eyes on his face. Tiptoeing a little, she placed a saccharine kiss on his forehead. 

"Anything else required for the answer?"

He smiled looking at her and slightly nodding, placed a soft peck on her nose.

She blushingly looked sideways, and moving some steps back, she slowly ran inside tucking her strands behind her ear. While he leaned against the wall, with his eyes still stuck on her.

He took a deep breathe and closed his eyes with a satisfying, contended smile.

With a prayer in his heart for the blessing that was her, to stay in his life till the last breathe of his existence.
