“Reyansh,” I start truthfully. “If I ask you something, will you tell me the truth?”
“Yes,meri jaan. Always.”
“Did you really want to kiss me back there?”
He stares at me, his face carrying a million emotions as water drips down his hair.
He balances me on top of him with one hand on my waist as he cups my cheek with the other.
“If I show you, will you believe me?”
Even with the cold water dripping down my spine, I feel my body getting hot. I can tell that my cheeks are getting red like they always do.
His face inches near me, and I can feel his breath on my skin.
“What do you mean?”
I know exactly what he means. I just want him to do it.
“I mean,” he whispers against my lips. Just a single touch, and all my control, all my feelings, and all my restraint will be done for.
“Do you really want to know if I meant it?”
“Yes,” I say, finally breaking free from all the control. “Please, Reyansh.”
Just one word, and all the control he had on him breaks because I see it a second before his lips crash on mine and my world unravels.
A single brush of his lips against mine and we both lose our control.
His lips mold with mine, taking over the kiss.
His hand slowly travels down my waist, and I feel him hesitate from touching me, so I grab his hand and place it where I need it the most.
The thought of divorce leaves my mind when he smiles against my lips, feeling my urgency, and when he slips his tongue inside my mouth, I throw that idea out of my brain.
Divorce be damned. I want him.
Now.
Forever.
“See that?” he asks, breaking away from the kiss, his lips just an inch away, and I catch my breath.
“Feel that?”
I have lost my ability to talk, so I just nod.
“I am in love with you, Aisha Kapoor,” he says, and finally I feel those words in my bones, in my veins. “There’s not a single moment when I don’t want to touch you, be near you, talk to you, hear you talk, or kiss you.”
“I was stupid enough to let that go before. I am grateful enough to realize it and cherish it now.”
I stare in between his eyes, and God, I believe him.
I do.
“Kiss me again till I believe it.”
He smiles, all devilish and handsome.
