Dhruv sat in front of Astha who was sleeping in an uncomfortable position with her noval laying open above her chest.

He looked at her and his heart skipped several beats. He was held captive by his angelic beauty. She embodied an allure that he found himself unable to resist. He looked at her, his gaze gentle as ever. The undefinable emotion shimmering in his eyes as his heart skipped several beats. He had seen many beautiful women but no one could ever attract him or maybe he was too confused tumbling over his past. But he knew that wasn't the reason. Astha captured his attention because of her nature. There was something unique about her which caught his attention. Something which made her different from others.

Astha,s flawless complexion, the color of warm honey, absorbing the candle lights that bathed the chamber in a soft golden glow. The candlelight highlighted her beautiful features making her look ethereal. Her beautiful eyes, a set of almond brown now hidden under her beautiful long, black lashes were a testiment of her expressiveness that mirrored the profound depths of the sea, he loved the way her eyes widened in surprise, the way they lit up whenever she's happy or in a mischievous mood, her laughter, a joyous melody that seemed to ease his worries. Her lips were a natural rosy color and delicately carved were like a beautiful work of art, there was a slight smile on her lips as If she's watching a beautiful dream. Her hair, long, shinny, silky and straight, black in color were soft and velvety, tumbling down her back. Some of the strands were coming over her face.

Dhruv smiled at the sight of HIS sleeping beauty. She was beautiful, way more beautiful then words could describe. Smiling, he reached out, his touch gentle as he tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. His actions gentle and purposeful keeping in mind to not to wake her up. His eyes a mix of tenderness and an undefinable emotion as he gazed at her. The smile never leaving his lips as he slowly bent over and planted his lips on her forehead. A small gesture filled with innocence, a proof of his growing feelings for his wife.

He smiled taking the novel from her and placing it on the side table. Now if she slept in such a position then she'll wake up with a sore neck. So he braced himself and gently cupped her head. His fingers sank into her soft, velvety hair as he lifted her up slightly. Her hot breath fanned his neck. His heart skipped several beats and his fingers trembled slightly. He somehow gently placed her head on the pillow. His fingers gently tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear with a gentle touch careful enough to not to pull it to hard and make her come out of her peaceful slumber.

Astha turned towards him in her sleep, a sleepy hum escaping her lips. His heart started pounding in his chest like a drum hearing her as he felt a delicate shiver running down his spine. His breath hitched in his throat as she held his hand interlocking their fingers. A sigh escaped her lips, filled with a sense of comfort as she pulled his hand closer placing it right under her chin. His fingers accidentally brushed against her soft skin igniting a spark within him.

Dhruv ji.

Astha called out, her voice, a mixture of sleep and tenderness as she opened her eyes. A haze of sleep clouded them barely hiding the love that sparkled in her eyes for him.

Aaiye.

Astha said moving back and patted the space beside her gently asking him to come.

With his heart still pounding in his chest like a drum, Dhruv found himself moving besides her in the empty space even before his mind could process what he's doing, he sank into the soft and warm mattress.

He saw her moving towards him. She placed her head on his chest, her fingers wrapping themselves around his waist, thumb lightly caressing his rough skin sending shivers down his spine. The fragrance of jasmine and sandalwood that was coming from her hair wrapping itself around him like a fortress of comfort. She hid her face in his neck, her lips brushing against the skin of his neck as she breathed making his heart hitch in his chest.

His hands trembled as he uplifted them and wrapped one around her lower back while the other one rested over her head. Her hot breath fanning his neck sending a tickling sensation at the edge of his spine. His heart still pounding in his chest like a drum.

Shubh Prabhat Dhruv ji.

Astha said, her voice laced with sleep stirring something deep within his heart sending a jolt of electricity through his body. His hands trembled as he tightened his hold on the delicate curve of her waist unknowingly. He shut his eyes going into a world of dreams.

Morning!!!

Dhruv opened his eyes, a set of deep brown orbs laced with a tinge of sleep.

All his sleep seemed to fade away as he saw his wife, a definition of imperfect perfection. As he continued to admire her, his breath caught in his throat as her love confession flashed across his mind, her laughter ringing in his ears causing his heart to pound in his chest like a drum.

She loved him!!!

The realization that she loves him hit him like a lightening bolt making his heart flutter like a butterfly in his chest. Unknowingly, his lips curved into a bright, heart melting smile, a smile that reached his eyes, a mirror of the happiness that was bubbling within him.

Astha,s slumber broke. She felt a feather light touch and knew that it was none other then her husband, her Dhruv ji who was tracing her features. His touch light as a feather as he caressed her eyes sending jolts of electricity through her body. Her heart pounding wildly in her chest. Her breath started to run slowly but she didn't open her eyes and let him continue his work, however the short gasps that were building inside her made it difficult for her to do so.

As his fingers continued their tender exploration, Astha,s breath turned heavier. His touch gentle and affectionate stirred something deep within her. Caressing her soft hair that tumbled behind her back like an endless sky. Astha felt his fingers in her hair, his caresses loving and gentle, filled with an overwhelming affection. His hands moving into her hair, fingers scratching her scalp. She couldn't help but sigh upon feeling a sense of contentment wash over her, her eyes still remainded shut in anticipation of the next caress.

His fingers resumed their tender exploration, caressing her cheek with a tender touch as if marvelling the softness of her skin. Her heart fluttered in her chest like a caged bird as her pulse quickened.

The moment his fingers traced the curve of her lips. Her heart hitched in her chest as she slowly opened her eyes smiling at him.

The movement was sudden for Dhruv. His eyes widened in surprise as he looked at her like a deer caught in headlights. His heart started pounding in his chest like a drum.

Dhruv ji kijiye na, acha lag raha tha humein.

Astha said, the mischievous twinkle in her eyes didn't go unnoticed by him.

He smiled deciding to play along composed himself.

His eyes sparkling with a blend of unknown affection and mischief as he said

Kya?

Dhruv asked, a hint of mock innocence and affection evident in his tone as looked at her.

Astha smiled, her eyes sparkling with a mixture of love and mischief as she looked at him, her whisper laced with mirth.

Wohi jo ker rahe thy.

Astha came over him. Dhruv gasped due to her sudden action. His breath caught in his throat. However he composed himself but his heart still continued pounding in his chest like a drum.

Dhruv smiled, a mischievous twinkle dancing in his eyes barely hiding his affection for her.

Hum toh apni pyaari patni ke chehre ke ehsaas ko apne hathon per bhar rahe thy.

Dhruv said, his voice laced with warmth and affection as he started exploring her features once again with his fingers. His movements were delicate and tender that sent a shiver of delight down her spine. Astha gasped, her breath hitching audibly. Their hearts ponding in their chests like drums in unison. Dhruv,s breath hitched in his throat as he heard her whisper his name.

Dhruv ji.

The whisper was breathy spent as she clutched his shoulders, wrapping her fingers around them tightly. Dhruv felt a rush of heat and desire flood through his body

His fingers cupping her neck as he shut his eyes. The tension between them was pulpable. Their desires hung heavy in the air as they leaned in. The world around them seemed to fade away only leaving the two of them in their own bubble of intimacy. The sound of their breathing audible in the quite chamber. Just as their lips were about to connect, Astha moved towards his cheek instead, pressing a delicate kiss against his slight beard. Disappointment flickered in his eyes which he quickly hid before she could see.

Just as she was about to run out of shyness, Dhruv caught a hold on her waist.

He smiled moving towards her ear, his words a soft whisper causing her breath to catch in her throat.

Janamdin Mubarak biwi sahab.
