His mind fell on the critical call he had made three nights ago, right after he discovered the reason Tara had left him seven years ago.
“Are you sure, Commander Rathod?”
“Yes, Marshall Sinha.”
There was a pause. “Your service has been a great asset, Commander. I wish you all the best. But if you ever change your mind, the door will always be kept open for you.”
“Thank you.”
He made the decision to set things right. But now, even though Tara and he were married, he couldn’t stop the restless uncertainty about their future from gripping him.
Because he knew there was every possibility Tara would run away from him again, especially when she discovers the two other shocking truths, he kept hidden from her.
She would find out both the next day.
CHAPTER 22
Sitara woke up to see the bright blue of the ocean along with the hints of a distant land.
It was stunningly beautiful, and she would miss waking up to the sight, since it was the last day of the cruise. They cruise would come to an end in a couple of hours.
But a smile covered her face, knowing she would wake up to an even better sight each morning. With breathless anticipation filling her heart, she slowly turned. And then, lifting her head up on her elbow, she stared.
Aarav was sleeping.
In the past few days, she didn’t get the chance to look at him properly. There was always restless energy and heated passion between them that didn’t allow for leisurely exploration.
But now, with his face relaxed in his sleep, she could look at him without interruption.
My husband.
Happiness and thrill passed through her that Aarav Rathod was her husband.
He looked so handsome that it took every effort not to touch him. She wanted to trace his face with her finger and re-familiarize with every smooth and rough chiseled corner. She controlled herself knowing it would disturb his sleep.
“Like what you see, sweetheart?” he drawled with his eyes still closed.
Her cheeks heated.
“How did you know I was watching you?” she demanded.
His eyes opened and his mouth twisted in a familiar way. “I could hear your breathing. You are panting with lust for your husband.”
Her face heated. “Jerk!” she scolded in embarrassment because it was true. But it wasn’t just lust. It was also admiration and mad love. “You are arrogant!”
His mouth twisted again. “Actually, I’m your husband.”
A laugh burst out of her as he reminded her of their first meet when he had made a similar statement. “I don’t know why I fell in love with you,” she teased. “You were cocky and arrogant right from the first time, and more so now!”
He gripped the back of her neck and pulled her close before capturing her mouth in a passionate kiss that made her heart flutter and her toes curl.
The kiss caught fire soon and her breathing turned heavier and faster as need rose. When he rolled on top of her, she parted her legs waiting to feel him inside her.
She gasped when he thrust.
Her eyes closed, and her head fell back at the intense feeling. No matter how many times she let Aarav Rathod inside her body, it always felt wildly exhilarating as her first time. She also felt a strong sense of belonging.
She clung to him, wrapping her arms around his broad shoulders while he pulled back his hips and thrust even deeper.
