Days had turned blissful for Karan since the day, Preeta had came to know about the medical expenses being paid by him. He was afraid of her misunderstanding the kind gesture into bribing. He was glad that she took it in a positive way and rewarded him by being the Preeta, he had always wanted.

She behaves happy around him. She had started sharing things with him. Karan had been noticing how she had become easy on him. He liked how she had started putting efforts in every face of their relationships. Earlier, she couldn't even ask him heartily if he had eaten food. Now, he was amazed that she had started calling him in the office if he had done the lunch or not.

He loved all of it. All her kind gestures to make him happy. He just couldn't believe that things were getting right slowly.

"Finally..." muttering to himself, Karan shut his laptop and sighed. Preeta had been late to bed as she had gone to make coffee for Kritika who had her exams arriving soon and was doing late night study.

Karan's heart swelled in love thinking of her actions. How in the world he got so lucky to have her? She had actually accepted him and his family. He just wanted to describe her about how thankful he was to her for finally bringing positivity in his life.

He remembered that night when Preeta had herself told him to touch her. He couldn't do it. Karan had been jerk,a player all his school and college life. He didn't care about sentiments. But even after getting to touch her so easily, he denied. He had felt satisfied seeing adorations in her eyes and this was what he always wanted to see.

She had started believing in him. He didn't want to break that trust. She had found a new friend in him and he couldn't spoil the improvement here by doing any single mistake. Every night, his hands itched to touch her feminine parts. Every moment, the husband inside him wanted his wife to get pleased and pleasured. But he controlled.

It was killing him inside.

All the time, ignoring her when she combed, because he couldn't stop adoring her fair complexion in contrast to her brown hair. He turned stiff whenever she used to wake his already awake self in her sleepy voice. He liked this normal Preeta.

But still something was missing.

The approach from her side. Preeta had surely started to like him but Karan had always questioned himself about this feeling. Didn't she too craved me like I do? Didn't she want me like I do? Karan shook his head and closed his eyes while thinking about her.

She had never complimented him about his looks, physique. Nor, she had even touched him by her own. Karan groaned in frustration. This was so stupid of him. The girl he loved had been from a simple middle class family. These terms and tricks of lovers were far away from Preeta's knowledge who had always been in a great environment to stay far away from relationships. The fact was great but disadvantageous for Karan.

Whenever, his little tigress had gotten angry, they had ended into not talking to each other for days. No way in hell, he wanted to let that happen by any mistake. Even thinking of sex with her, had churned Karan's stomach. He shook his head while pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Damn, I can't be so desperate..." He muttered while opening his eyes. This strong feeling for her was insane. He just couldn't describe how wonderful it would be to have her heart, body, properly. He would have been luckiest to have her. He would become the king the day they would become one.

Checking his phone, Karan heard the bedroom door and saw his beautiful wife entering with bright eyes and a wide smile on her face. From the corner of his eyes, he saw her closing the door and just as she looked at him, his body stiffened.

"Karan, you haven't sleep yet. Why?" Preeta said while walking towards the bed and straightening the sheets. Karan yawned and slowly got up from his chair. He saw her lastly removing her earrings and he finally sat on the bed by his side.

"Work, baby. Work." He saw the twitch on her lips and a frown appearing on her face. Preeta slowly looked at Karan and sat on the bed beside him.

Karan sucked in a breathe at seeing her wearing the black nightie. She looked a hot chocolate cake to him. Breathing out, Karan laid beside her. He saw her laying gently and breathing calmly.

"You need to balance, Karan." Preeta said while staring at the ceiling. Karan's eyebrows furrowed as he thought of her words.

"Foreign investors will come and accept your deal. Don't worry. Please, take care of yourself..."

"You take care of me."

Karan saw her lips stopped moving as she got stunned. Slowly blinking her eyes, she gulped before speaking.

"I don't... I can't when you are away..."

A sweet smile curved on Karan's lips as he turned his face to stare at hers.

"Are you saying that you want me always close, wifey?" He saw her face turning crimson.

"Karan, stop. I meant about time. Like last night, mummy told about the upcoming party of our distant relatives. You don't have time for family functions," said Preeta softly.

Karan raised his eyebrows and thought hardly. "Mummy wanted us to go there. We haven't been out that much since wedding. I didn't like how you had denied immediately."

Karan's heart fluttered thinking if she was complaining. With the way she was speaking, it seemed that she was but he didn't want to raise his hopes.

"I have to work for the deals..." Karan was stunned when Preeta cut him off by saying,"... Of course, the deals. That's what, you always think about. Don't you worry how mummy felt when you denied. I too wanted to go."

A new wave of happiness crawled Karan's spine as he smirked slightly. She wanted to go out with him. He understood her feelings. She hadn't been out so much except for her and his mother's shopping days. He had never took her out to a date thinking that she would only feel discomfort.

But now, he was gaining belief that she won't.

Turning on his side, Karan hummed slowly. "What will I get, if we go?" Preeta too turned at his words and narrowed her eyes at him.

"Karan, you are mean. Deals, deals and deals. You make deals all the time..." She kept on bickering while staring far away at the wall behind Karan.

On the other side, Karan felt like he would lose his mind tonight. His eyes were on her bosoms noticing how one mound had slightly rested on the other creating a delicious looking cleavage for him. His manhood tightened while he gulped looking away.

"... Even last time, you had seen how upset mummy was. She'll be happy if we will go..." Karan heart hammered fastly in his chest as his eyes fell on her pink lips. They moved slowly and looked inviting that Karan had now left all sanity and patience. He shifted closer to her and wasted no time to stop her bickering by crashing his lips on hers.

As if the whole world had frozen, Preeta had stopped moving. Karan moved his lips against her fastly, desperately while even nipping at her lower lip. His hands reached inside her night dress and rubbed her thighs sensually. Preeta was utterly shock as she could be.

In the past week, Karan hadn't touched her which had amazed her to the core. But now it was hell satisfying noticing, how she had missed the touch of his lips on hers. Her heart fluttered while stomach churned as she finally started moving her lips with his making him groan in pleasure.

Her hands knowingly reached his head and Preeta started running her fingers through his hair. Her legs automatically entangled with his long ones as she slowly enjoyed all his weight on hers.

Karan shifted himself on her yet taking care of the weight on her soft body. His hands roamed on her bare thighs while she moaned loudly when Karan tilted his head and kissed her deeply, using his tongue. All worlds turned heaven for Preeta as she tightened her arms around his neck and caressed his hair.

With a last long smooch, Karan finally broke the kiss. His nose rested on her cheek as they both panted hard while digesting the intimacy happened between them. Kissing her cheeks, Karan showered her with love from her jaw line to her creamy neck.

"Karan..." She moaned while arching her back when Karan kissed her sweetest spot making her lose an amount of warmth between her legs. But as if the moan was a trigger, Karan realised what was happening.

His face frozen on spot thinking what he just did. He broke his own thoughts. He had decided he won't disappoint her but now he did. He felt ashamed. He couldn't keep his words.

Closing his eyes, a sigh escaped his lips and he felt himself moving off her. Preeta's arms loosened when Karan moved all of a sudden snatching her pleasure. Her eyebrows furrowed while she stared at his face noticing the guilt written clearly in them. Her heart melted thinking, he was regretting his actions.

"I am sorry..." She saw him whispering while trying to shift back. But Preeta held his forearm with her thin little hands.

"What happened?" Karan looked uncomfortable thinking she was taunting him.

"I am sorry... I didn't mean to..." Preeta wrapped her arms again around his neck making him shut. Karan hurriedly shook his head. "... You know... We should sleep..."

"Don't be ashamed..."

Karan covered her hands and removed them from his neck. "I know, I should be and trust me, I am. Now, let me sleep with that."

Saying that, Karan laid back on his place and turned on other side to control himself. His whole self wanted to continue what he had started but he couldn't.

He just knew, he couldn't.

"Karan, it's not that bad. I didn't mind it..." His heart stopped at her words. A nervous chuckled reached his ears while he felt her wrapping her arm around his torso.

"Shut up, Preeta. Sleep." Preeta chuckled and moved her leg closer to Karan's.

"... I really didn't..."

"... But I am minding it. Now sleep..." He yelled at her making her shut.

Preeta was not just shocked but confused thinking what was going on his mind. One time, he kissed her and other, he was pushing her on his own. If it would have been any other moment, Preeta wouldn't have cared of What Karan was thinking. But now, she cared.

She didn't want him to feel disappointed.

She didn't want him to hate her again. Preeta smiled at this new found innocence in him. She wanted to enjoy times with Karan.

But now it seemed impossible with the way, Karan had moved away stubbornly.
