Strings Attached ✨

35. Talking and Listening

His scent lingered all around me, almost intoxicating.

I didn't respond, too busy drowning into the comfort of his arms.

" Are you doing okay ? With the new pressures and everything, I mean." ....he said softly, in a tone that brought me comfort, and I felt like melting away.

I nodded my head softly.
" Did you know aksh was back?" ....I asked, a little later.
" Hmm.....he met me after returning. " .....he replied, still hugging me.

" Do you think he seems a bit distracte---"......before I finished I felt him pick me up on his shoulder.

" What are you doing ?" ....I inquired, alarmed.

" Don't worry, continue. I'm just taking you to the bed, your feet will start hurting if you stand that long." ...he said, casually.

I was confused as to how I was supposed to react to this.
On reaching the bed, he placed me down, still caging me between his arms.

He sat down, and turned me around, pulling me into his lap and locking me there completely with his arms.

I turned my head to look at him questioningly.

" What ? I'm not going to leave you soon. Do you prefer sitting or standing ?" .......he explained, again, very casually.

This man would probably drive me crazy within a month of marriage.

" What were you saying ? Something about aksh?" .....he asked, while snuggling his face into the arch of my neck.

Like I could talk about something with his face just buried into my neck.

Nevertheless, i tried.

" Yes, he seems distract----" ....I stopped again, feeling him placing kisses on my neck.

" Yes?" ...he questioned, still placing kisses allover.

I was melting away, while trying very hard to keep my composure.

" Agastya, how can I talk if you keep doing this ?" ........I spoke, while my fingers clutched onto his hands, trying to supress the sound dancing at the tip of my tongue.

" Doing what ?" ....the kisses trailed further upward, now targetting my jaw.

" You know what--ahh-" .......the sound finally slid out, and I felt him smirk against my skin instantly.

" Get habituated to talk while I do this. There are rarely going to be times when we just 'talk'." .....he finished, now close to my lips.

During this time, I didn't realise when I turned around completely towards him from the waist up.

He detached his lips from my skin, only to look at my lips.

" I'm saying something. " ....I protested.

" I'm listening, continue." ....he said, attaching his lips to mine right after.
I mumbled incoherently, unable to speak with his tongue tangling into mine.

" Mhmmmm.....mmm..mmhm" .....I tried to speak still.

To this, I earned a bite on my lips, forcing me shut.

His hands left my waist, gripping the back of my neck to push me further towards his face.
I was in an awkward position on his lap, and felt my balance break as soon as he removed his hands from my waist.

I clutched him tightly, or I would fall.

He felt me shifting on his lap and seemed to have sensed my imbalance.

His other hand held my waist as he turned us completely around, plopping us into the bed with me under him, not leaving my lips while doing any of that.

As soon as I was laid down into the bed, his hands left my waist, heading straight for my jaw to tilt it upwards.

His lips moved swiftly, and I was out of breath.
I hit his chest slightly. He understood the signal and removed his mouth from my lips heading straight back to my neck and collarbone again.

I sucked in a mouthful of air while he still continued biting and licking my collarbone.

" Agastya, someone might drop in." .....I cautioned him.

" Try another way, honey. No one comes in my room at this time." ......he chuckled, not even looking up at my face.

He started heading further down, placing kisses all the way.

I squirmed, making muffled noises.

" Don't try to suppress it, or you'll see that it doesn't take much for me to make you scream." .........his voice was smug, almost too confident on his skills.

" A-agastya...thi-s i-is no-t t-the t-ime." ...I hardly managed to say.

" I didn't know we had a fixed time for this." .....he said, snuggling his face close to my breast.

" Ahh-ahh" ....it was too much and my control had taken a swift fleet into the air.

" Exactly." ....he spoke against my skin, quite satisfied with himself.

I felt my stomach twist inside me. I knew I was craving for more at this point, and the thing we were talking about was now completely knocked out of my brain.

My hands found their way into his hair, tangling the strands between my fingers.

He detached his lips, and supported himself on his elbow above me.

I looked at him with my brows creased, and earned a mischievous smirk.
He left me in the middle, and I was already driven into it.

My chest heaved up and down slowly, and I was craving him now.

It was ridiculous, he was doing it on purpose, and the self-satisfied smirk on his lips attested to that.

It was enough, I wasn't going to let him do this.

My hands gripped his face tightly and I pulled his face, placing my lips right on his.
I was enraged, and bit his lips, trying to hurt him.

However, I only earned an amused chuckle. This time, I was the one leading the kiss, and he seemed to be surprised as his lips stopped moving for a brief while.

I took the opportunity and hit his elbows slightly. He wasn't stable on his elbows and I could easily topple him down, and so I did.

I straddled on top of him, mimicking his earlier actions.

" God, you'll be the death of me." .....he said, holding my waist to stop me.

I looked at him, outraged sufficiently.

He grinned.

" You look edible when you get all worked up." .....he said, tucking my hair behind my ear.

"Agasty--" ...I tried to say.

" This is not the time, honey." ....he said, deliberately slow, stretching out the words to his satisfaction.

My eyes widened, and I couldn't believe him.

" Why did you do this." ....I slapped his chest slightly.

" You have a very thin line of control for a woman who claims to be unaffected by me." .......he smirked, with much purpose.

His hands wrapped around my waist, placing me to his side effortlessly, like I weighted nothing.
He got up.

" I have to get to the court, meanwhile you can experience what I feel each and everyday around you." ......he fixed his clothes, and placed a casual kiss on my forehead, turning to leave.

Meanwhile, I was left there not knowing what to do with my disappointment.

He'll pay for this, that's for sure.
