Finally Mine (11/10/2017) Rereleased

Arnav walked into their bedroom and locked the door behind him. There sat on his bed was his newly wedded bride. Khushi had removed her veil and all her heavy jewelry. As Arnav secured the door, she looked up at him and blushed. Slowly making his way to the bed, Arnav took in his beauty in red.

 

“So we’re married.”

“We’re finally married.”

 

Arnav looked at Khushi and he couldn’t help but feel a little bit awkward. This felt a little bit strange, but at the same time it felt so right.

Khushi looked back at him, and never before had she felt so shy.

 

“We’ve come a long way…”

 

Khushi nodded. She couldn’t help but cast her mind back to what felt like a lifetime ago. She and Arnav first met in high school when they were 11. They hadn’t always been friends, but when they did become good friends, they got very close. They had gone to college and their friendship faced many, many hardships. Khushi remembered back to when she first realised she had feelings for Arnav, it had been the summer before they started college. She was still 16 at the time. He had figured out how she felt about him because he knew her so well, but of course, he had dismissed her feelings, told her that their friendship mattered more and that he wanted them to just remain good friends.

Arnav had met Lavanya in college who instantly took his attention. Khushi was left alone, neglected. Arnav was her best friend before anything else and he suddenly didn’t have any time for her. Lavanya was always there between them and so they spent less and less time together.

Lavanya was unaware of Khushi’s feelings for Arnav and Arnav never said anything to let her know about how Khushi felt about him.

Time passed and Arnav and Khushi grew more and more distant. Then they both went off to different universities. Khushi off to a university in London and Arnav one in America. Their lives became busy and complicated and they lost touch.

Some time during their time apart, Arnav and Lavanya had broken up.

When Arnav and Khushi both finished their respective degree programmes and returned home to India, they both became busy with their budding careers and never thought much to try and reconnect with the other. Khushi never forgot about her love for Arnav. In her heart, she still had a space for him and Arnav too never forgot about his old friend.

Then the time came and both their families began to look for a potential life partner for their child and that is where fate brought them together again. Khushi instantly agreed when she realised the groom was to be Arnav. Arnav too agreed upon hearing that Khushi had said yes. He didn’t believe in arranged marriages, but he liked this idea. The idea of being married to a childhood friend, one whom he was so close to and knew so well.

When the wedding talks were happening, Arnav and Khushi took the opportunity to reconnect with each other. Khushi realised then that she was more in love with Arnav than Shen had ever been before, and Arnav too started seeing Khushi in a new way. He liked who she hadn’t become over the years, she was successful and she was confident come not to mention extremely beautiful. She did something to him, she made him want her and he couldn’t wait to marry her. It was then he finally understood that he was falling in love with her.

“Arnav…”

“I feel like I should apologize for everything that went wrong between us in the past.”

 

Khushi looked up and shook her head.

 

“This is a new start for both of us, you don’t need to apologise. When all that stuff happened, we were kids, we didn’t really know anything. We’re married now, adults, this is what matters. And we’ve spoken about the past, it’s done, we need to focus on our now.”

“In college… You wanted to be with me and I… I was so insensitive towards you. I was with someone else right under your nose and I expected you to be okay with it.”

“That all doesn’t matter any more. I mean it does, it’s our story. But we’re here now. That’s what is important.

 

Khushi moved towards Arnav, moved into him and held onto his arm…

 

“I’ve always wanted you… And now… You’re finally mine.”

 

She moved back slightly, biting her lip. Arnav looked down at her and smiled. Khushi couldn’t help herself, she leaned in and pressed her lips to his. She took hold of his upper arms and Arnav wrapped his arms around Khushi, kissing her back deeply. They pulled away after a while and Khushi blushed.

 

“I’ve loved you since I was 16 Arnav and now…”

“I’m yours forever Khushi.”

 

He leaned into her again to kiss her, but Khushi met him more than half way and took control of the kiss. She held onto his sherwani tightly and kissed him the way she’d dreamed of kissing him forever. All those days, she daydreamed of what it would be like to kiss Arnav. All those nights when she was alone in bed, when she just wondered what it’d feel like to have his masculine body against hers. Now, finally, those dreams would become reality.

They pulled apart slowly and Khushi ran her hand along his stubble.

 

“If only you knew how much I’ve wanted this. If only you knew how much I’ve been praying for this.”

“What kind of a bride are you? Telling me how you basically want to sleep with me. How you’ve been thinking about sleeping with me since we were still kids.”

 

Khushi laughed.

 

“You were once my best friend. I used to tell you everything. Old habits die hard.”

“Am I not still your best friend?”

“Of course you are!”

 

Arnav took hold of Khushi and kissed her, god how had he never kissed her before? How had he ignored her for other girls when she was evidently the girl for him? He broke their kiss. There was something he wanted to ask her.

 

“Have you kissed anyone before?”

 

Khushi looked away and blushed.

 

“No. I’ve always been so in love with you, I couldn’t…”

“What if me and you hadn’t got married?”

“Then whoever I did marry would have been my first kiss.”

“Your first kiss was one you initiated.”

“I waited 10 years for you, I couldn’t wait any more.”

“I think I need to reward you for waiting so long for me.”

“How are you going to do that Raizada?”

 

Arnav pushed Khushi down onto the bed and tried to find the ends of her wedding gown. He brought his lips down to hers. His hands fiddled with her clothes. He needed to touch her. Needed to love her like a man loved a woman, needed to love her like she deserved. But once again their kiss was broken and Khushi pushed his hands off her and sat up.

 

“Khush…”

“Not tonight.”

“Why?”

“You made me wait 10 years for you, I’m going to make you wait 10 nights for me.”

“Hey!”

“Arnav 10 nights is nothing compared to 10 years. I was a teenager with raging hormones. I wanted you, wanted to be your girlfriend, wanted to kiss you, but I couldn’t. It was torture. Now I want you to get a feel of what it’s like.”

“But I’m a man with needs Khush! I may have had other relationships before, but I’ve waited for marriage to make love to someone. How are you going to deprive me of that on our wedding night?”

 

Khushi kissed his cheek and smiled.

 

“I have needs too… But 10 nights…”

“That’s 2 nights into our honeymoon though!”

“We’ll go site seeing and do stuff.”

 

Arnav faked a pout and crossed his arms over his chest. Khushi cupped his face.

 

“I want you to want me, for me. Not just because I’m a woman and because I’m your wife now. I’ve wanted you for so long because I’ve loved you. I understand it’s going to take more than 10 nights for you to fall in love with me, but I want you to try to love me for me. To try and fall in love with me…”

“Khushi? Of course I love you.”

“Not the way I love you…”

 

Khushi looked away and it made sense to him. No matter what she said, she still couldn’t help but doubt his feelings. But it wasn’t her fault. He’d always put other girls before her when they were in college, despite knowing how she felt about him. He’d ignored her, made her feel like he didn’t love her. And at the time he hadn’t loved her, not like that anyway. He’d loved her as a friend, he wanted to protect her whereas she loved him in a more romantic manner. But now… He truly was falling in love with her. The real her…

 

“Khushi… I was a dick to you. I never realised how special you were to me, I never valued you, always put other girls before you. It took me forever to realise it, but you’ve always been special to me, that’s why you’re friendship was still important to me when we were in college. I respect you’re 10 night ultimatum and I will be a good husband and good friend and wait for 10 nights. But on the 10th night, when the night comes Khush, be ready for me. Because I will make love to you all night long, I will make you feel everything I’ve ever felt for you. I will finally make you mine…”

Ten days passed faster than anyone could have possibly imagined. After all the post wedding rituals at home, Arnav and Khushi left for their honeymoon in the Maldives. As Arnav walked into the master bedroom he remember how when they were in college, they’d both said that when they got married they’d want to go to the Maldives. He smiled to himself, maybe back then, when they were 17, he should have realised all the signs were pointing in the direction to show that they were meant to be together.

The last couple of days, on honeymoon had be relaxing. They’d visited the beach, gone to see films, ate at restaurants, or just lazed around their hotel room. At home, they’d both been busy with the post wedding rituals and stuff and by the time they got to bed they were both tired and just wanted to go to sleep, so they weren’t too bothered that they weren’t able to get intimate.

However, now that they had been on honeymoon for two nights, Arnav was finding it hard to cope. Seeing Khushi come to bed every night in a silky nightdress that did nothing except loosely cover her body. When she moved, he took in ever curve of hers. God she was so womanly and every little move of hers captivated him.

At night, she had a habit of invading his personal space, throwing her limbs across him, touching him in places that drove him wild. And she did all of this whilst sleeping! He dreaded the to think what she’d do to him when she was awake, when they were at the height of passion.

Arnav had respected Khushi’s wished and kept away from her. As much as he wanted to get close to her, he stopped himself, respecting her decisions. But the wait was over for tonight was the night he would express his love for Khushi in both words and actions.

He walked into the bedroom to find that the lights were out but numerous candles were lit. It hadn’t taken Arnav long to realise Khushi had an obsession with candles. Every night she had to have a fair few lit as they were the only way she was able to get to sleep. He looked around, hoping to find Khushi on the sofa, watching tv but she wasn’t, Khushi was already in bed with the duvet tucked tightly around her. Arnav sighed, it seemed as though he wasn’t getting lucky tonight.

Arnav got changed and carefully got into bed, trying not to disturb his slumbering wife. He looked over at her and couldn’t help but smile. He should have always known, it was always Khushi. Even when he was with other people, he was always drawn to Khushi, like a moth to a flame.

Turning his back to her, Arnav got comfortable, ready to go to sleep. He shut his eyes and felt himself starting to drift when he felt a small pair of hands come around him. His eyes snapped open. Arnav turned his head to Khushi who was apparently wide awake, he let her guide him onto his back and she threw the covers off herself.

Arnav’s eyes widened as he took in his Khushi. How had he not noticed this before? Khushi moved on top of Arnav and straddled his hips. Arnav looked up at her. She looked amazing. She was wearing a lacy black bra with matching panties which made her pearly skin look even lighter.

 

“What happened Arnav? Have you forgotten that 10 nights are over tonight? Or are you not interested in me like that,”

“I thought you’d fallen asleep.”

“I’ve been waiting 10 years for this night Raizada.”

 

Khushi leaned over Arnav and took his lips between hers and kissed him passionately. Arnav took hold of Khushi’s midsection and moved her down his body slightly so she was positioned over his hardening manliness. Khushi rubbed her bottom against him, trying to show him that she needed him as much as he needed her. They made out in this manner for a while until Arnav could take it no more. He grabbed hold of her and flipped her onto the bed and moved on top of her. He took hold of her breasts and kissed her neck. Khushi arched up into him, pulling his head further into her neck.

Arnav allowed his hands to explore her body. Her skin was so soft, untouched, all his for him to leave his mark.

 

“God, why did it take me so long…”

“Arnav, sh.”

“It was always meant to be me and you.”

“Listen, apologise by making me yours. I’ve wanted this for so long Arnav.”

 

Arnav unhooked Khushi’s bra and let his eyes fall onto her perfectly round globes. He moved down to a stiff peak and took it between his lips. This caused Khushi to arch back into the bed.

 

“Oh god…”

 

Arnav let his hand drift south and he touched her there.

 

“No! Don’t play with me tonight. Arnav I need you!”

 

Arnav realised, tonight wasn’t the time to tease her, wasn’t the time to play with her. Tonight he needed to make love to her, show her how he felt about her, show her that no matter what had happened in the past, now it was all about her and he needed her more than anything. He’d always needed her.

Arnav pulled Khushi’s panties aside and let his eyes take her in.

 

“You’re so god damn perfect.”

 

He pulled his own underwear away and positioned himself above Khushi’s entrance.

 

“This is going to hurt, but I promise you. This is the last time I’ll ever hurt you. I promise you.”

 

Khushi cupped his face and smiled.

 

“Do it.”

 

In one swift motion, their bodies were one. Khushi gasped and took hold of Arnav as tightly as she could and he held onto her. Slowly they began to move together and Arnav whispered words of love to Khushi.

 

“I’ve got you baby. You’re mine…”

 

With each thrust Khushi began to feel more and more whole and she felt ever so loved. Every word, every sound he was making, it was for her, all her. Finally, they both came apart in each other arms and Arnav held onto Khushi.

He covered them with the covers and he held onto her tightly.

 

“I love you so much.”

“I love you too.”

“Arnav, promise me, this, us, this is what’s going to be forever. Promise me, it’s just me and you.”

“Forever and always.”

“So are you finally mine?”

“I’ve always been yours…”
