***Arya's POV.***
A light brush against my naked back wakes me up the next morning. I rub my eyes and look beside me to see my husband sleeping like an angel. I pull up the sheets to my chest and look at the time to see it is 9. There is not much to do other than packing.
We are leaving tonight for home. This week was exquisite, and I loved every second of it, especially last night. I run my fingers through my hair and look at my husband again. Before he wakes up, I have to be ready. I see our clothes scattered around the room and take Vedant's shirt, which is closest to me. I wear it and go to get up when a pair of muscled arms comes around my waist and I squeak in surprise.
"Not so fast, my dear wife." He whispers in my ear huskily.
"Vedant, let me go." I say, but he ignores my demand and nuzzles my neck and holds me tight in his arms. "Vedant!"
"I can hear you. What is the rush? Let's just stay in bed." He says.
"We have to pack, so there is a rush. Unlike you, I don't pack at the last minute. We have to leave tonight. We should be ready." I say.
"We would be fine. And also our flight time changed. We are leaving tomorrow morning." He says.
"Why?" I ask, turning slightly.
He grins broadly and says, "Maybe because I want to spend one more week with my wife in Greece."
My eyes widen in surprise and ask, "What?"
"Yes. The honeymoon is not over yet." He says and goes to kiss me but I put a hand on his mouth, "What? Not a kiss for the surprise?"
"I will. But first, you have to let me go." I say.
"No way, I will. This coming week, forget about even distancing an inch away from me. We are already going to spend enough time away when we go back. Till then you have to deal with me being too close." He says.
He takes my hand away from his mouth and holds it above my head as he kisses me. The rest of the morning, we stay in bed and have breakfast. When afternoon arrives, I soak myself in the warm bath. It felt so soothing and relaxing. After lunch, when I pack the bags. Vedant rolls his eyes and helps me with it, as he knows I can't stop worrying about it. That night we just slept in each other's arms, as he knew I needed some time to recover from our last night.
Next day at seven in the morning, we board the plane for the Crete island in Greece. It was a four hours' long flight, and we reached there at 12 of their timing. A sports car comes to a stop in front of us when we come outside, and Vedant opens the door to the passenger seat for me.
I get in and he takes the key from the driver and sits beside me. He opens the hood of it and I enjoy the wind in my hair. Crete looks beautiful at this time of the season. We will stay here for three days then go to Rhodes island. Then after three days, we will go to Athens.
The car stops in front of a small beach villa. Vedant takes my hand as a man takes our bag to our room. He shows me around the villa. The villa has three bedrooms and a master bedroom. All with en-suite bathrooms. It has a library and a study room. The kitchen is modern, yet a little rustic. It has a private pool which has a front view of the beautiful sea.
"When did you plan all these?" I ask as I look around in wonder.
"A day before yesterday." He says with a broad smile..
"In just one day. You are very well-sufficient. You are good at everything but one thing." I say.
"What?" He asks, coming close to me.
"You are a last-minute packer." I say with a giggle.
"Come on, Arya. It is not like you are good at everything. You know you are very sly." He says and I furrow my brows at him.
"Really?" I ask.
"Yes." He says with a smug look like finding a fault in me is a good thing.
"Okay." I say and walk into the villa.
"Hey, stop. What happened? Did you just get angry with it? Wonderful. Let me see your cute angry face, Arya." Vedant says and follows me with a goofy grin on his face.
"It is not like you haven't seen it before." I say and go towards the kitchen.
"No. I haven't. You have never been angry with me. Annoyed? Yes. Irritated? Sometimes. Upset? Many times. But I have neither seen you getting angry with me nor jealous." He says as if in deep thinking.
"Whatever." I say and take out orange juice.
"I like it. Your pout is cute. But anger has no room for our honeymoon. Be angry with me later. Right now it is love time." He says and puts the juice away and picks me over his shoulder.
"Vedant! What are you doing? Put me down." I exclaim as he walks towards the stairs.
"I will, dear. Just let us reach our room and I will put you down on our bed." He says.
"Vedant! What if someone sees us like this? I would be furious if that happened. Let me down." I say, but he ignores my words.
When we reach our room, he puts me on the bed and I turn away from him and he says, "So, does this mean you don't want me?" I don't answer him, "Fine. I will leave then and won't disturb you."
I looked up to see him turn away and was about to walk away. I get up on my knees on the bed and grab the sleeve of his shirt and say, "I can get angry after."
He turns around with a smirk and crashes his lips with mine in a passionate kiss. I can never be angry with someone for long and over a silly thing like being called sly. Never. Because I am sly sometimes, especially for the things that I want indirectly.
Vedant and I spent our afternoon in bed and didn't get out of the room until it was time for dinner. After dinner, we walk around the gardens hand in hand.
My time in Crete with my husband was fun. We walked down the beach and also visited some good places. I made dinners for us in the villa as I wanted privacy with him. It was fun, except for the time when I had to buy a swimsuit. Buying a swimsuit with a husband is a terrible choice. Vedant embarrassed me big time. So much that I literally pushed him out of the store.
We left for Rhodes and there Vedant had booked a hotel room with a private pool with sea view again. He specifically did this, so I won't be shy about wearing a swimsuit. And also the fact when he said with a jealous look on his face, "Like hell, I will let any man see you." The possessive way he said it made me all giddy.
I wear a floral print one-piece swimsuit. It was the only modest swimsuit I could find in any store. Others were two pieces, and I was too shy to wear those in front of my husband. There isn't an inch of my body Vedant hasn't seen, but I am not used to wearing one. And I didn't buy it earlier as we were in London and Greece was not in plan.
"I am going for a swim, Arya. Join me when you are ready." Vedant says and I hear his fading footsteps outside the bathroom.
I check myself in the mirror again as I wrap my hair in a high bun. Even though this swimsuit is modest, its neckline is a little low. I wear the robe and go out after gathering my courage.
When I go towards the pool, I see Vedant swimming. And he looks hot. I never used this phrase for any man, not even for my favourite hero. His muscles move enthralling me as he takes laps after laps and swims from one corner to another with such grace. I am in awe of my husband's swimming skills.
"Enjoying the view, are you?" Vedant asks, and I realise he had noticed me, noticing him.
"Yeah. Such a beautiful view." I say as I look at the sea.
"Wow! I didn't know someone could get turned on by just a view." He says with a smug smile.
"What?" I ask in shock.
"Your eyes are dilated, Arya. It tells me everything you want." He says with his own eyes dilating.
I remove my robe and say, "I don't know how to swim. Care to teach me?"
"It would be my pleasure." He says with a smile, and I know he has an ulterior motive.
He teaches me how to swim, but his minor brushes and touches leave me flustered. I could not concentrate on anything but him. And he knows too well what is happening. We spend the afternoon in the pool and then go straight to bed.
The week goes by roaming around the beautiful coastal cities and trying different kinds of foods. This one week had gone by even before we knew it and everyday I felt Vedant's love for me. I could have never imagined so much happiness waiting for me.
But soon our time to go home comes and as we wait to board the plane for home, Vedant turns to me with a smile and says, "Let's make a deal. Every year, we would go for a honeymoon."
"Why would we do that?" I ask teasingly.
"Because before, I never had time for it. But now I have reason to take out time and enjoy my life with you. So deal?" He asks.
"Deal." I say and place a kiss on his cheek.
"One more thing. Kiss me when we are home, too. Don't be shy around me there, Aru." He says teasingly.
"Ved!" I say and lightly slap his chest, and he chuckles.
