SHREYA'S POV

I was just looking at the pool while the cold wind was hitting my body and I was shivering like a leaf but I was in no mood to go back. It was feeling so good here. I dipped my toe in the pool but instantly stepped back as the water was icy.

Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder and I jumped out of fear and I was about to fall in the pool flat with my face first. But thankfully he snaked his arms around my waist to hold me in place and save me from drowning in the pool.

"Atharva you scared me," I said turning to him and slapping his chest.

"You scared me too. Why you stepped out of the room without telling me" he said pulling me close.

"I am not tied to you Atharva that I should tell you each and everything before doing it. I am a free human. I can do and whatever I want."

I said irritated because from the day I have come out of Coma he has become overprotective. He wants that I should take his permission even before taking a breath.

"Ok butterfly, chill"

"I was chilling before you came"

"Oh! That hurts"

I ignored his comment.

"So is my butterfly planning to become a fish?" He asked

"Huh?"

"I mean are you going to swim? Because I won't mind enjoying the scene or joining you in" he said in a flirty tone.

"No, I don't know how to swim and secondly I am scared of water"

"Scared? Why?"

"Actually in childhood, I was drowned and was saved by a matter of second so from that day I have a fear of drowning that's why I didn't learn to swim"

"That means you should definitely go into the pool," he said leaving my waist and as I was on the edge there was a very high chance of me going directly into the water.

"Oh, No Atharva! Please no! I will drown. Please No!" I begged him not to push me by grabbing the collar of his t-shirt tightly as my life depends on it.

"Ok, Take a deep breath and relax. I will not push you. Ok? " he said and sticks me to his chest.

I did as he said and breathed to calm myself down. When my breath became normal he took me in his arms, raised me high.

"I will throw you into the pool" and he did as he said

"INHALE!" He shouted while throwing me.

I was in the pool with a loud splash. I instantly shut my eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. I was going down and down. I started to thrash my hands and legs here and there to save my life. That incident of childhood came running back to me. I was threatened to the core.

After a minute which felt like an eternity, Atharva tugged my arm and I was above the water. I was still thrashing my legs to save my life and was not ready to open my eyes. I was just busy in gasping air.

"Put your legs down" Atharva commanded.

But I didn't listen to him. I was too scared to stop my legs. I thought that I will drown if I stop my legs.

"Stop overacting Shreya and put your legs down, NOW!"

He commanded again but now in the same tone in which he used to command me when I was his employ. I am still a little scared of this tone so I instantly put my legs down and to my surprise, there was a floor below it. I opened my eyes slowly and looked around to find 1/4th of my body above the water. I left a shaky breath.

"See, it is not that deep. You were just overreacting"

I nodded and took a breath of relief.

"Let's go in. It is deep there" he said while pulling me.

"No! I want to go out it is so icy. I will catch a cold" I tried to convince him.

"Nothing will happen to you when I am here" he assured me.

"No, Please. I don't want to. Please Atharva. Try to understand" I said while pulling my arms back from his hold.

"I call you butterfly or chuiya that does not mean that I want you to become the one. I want you to be the sherni ( lioness) who is not scared of anything and anyone"

"Anything but water. Please!"

I pleaded again. My heart was sinking in my chest. You can say that I have a sort of hydrophobia.

"Do you trust me?" He asked

I shook my head in 'no'

His eyes became wide and he looked at me in disbelief.

"I mean yes"

I said again but still moving my head in no. Because at present I was too scared to say and do anything.

"That's like my good girl" he patted my head.

"Give me your hands," he said

He wrapped my hands around his neck and legs around his torso. So now my front was attached to his back like a baby.

He started to swim with me above him. I was still trembling so I gripped his neck tightly and hid my face in his back. It was very hard for me to breathe even when I was not into the water.

"You know butterfly you are choking me. I will die if you continued to make your grip tight" he said while standing on his feet.

I instantly loosened my grip.

"Are you taking your revenge?" He added

"It looks like you are taking the revenge from me" I replied in anger.

"Revenge? Haha..may be" he said

"You are taking very wrong advantage of my condition Atharva"

"I haven't even started taking advantage yet," he said and tried to make me stand on my feet.

"Nooooo...I will not leave you" I said in horror and clutched him tightly.

"That's what exactly I want," he said happily and started to swim.

"Close your mouth we are going in," he said

"N....ppppp ......"

I was not able to stop him and we went deep. He made me swim like this for half an hour and slowly I too started to enjoy it but only at his back. He has promised himself that he will definitely teach me how to swim.

"No more Atharva. That's enough. I will sleep on your back if you go for one more round" I said as I was exhausted completely. But he was still so energetic.

We came out of the pool and cold wind hit my already drenched body. My body became numb and my teeth started to chatter.

"Let's go. Time to provide you some warmth," he said and moved towards the farmhouse while taking me in his arms. I put my head on his chest and now I realized that he was already shirtless. He made me stand on my feet once we reached our room.

"Stand here and don't you dare to move even a single bone of yours. I am coming in a minute."

I wrapped my arms around me and began to rub myself to provide some heat. In a minute he came back with a towel and clothes in his hand.

"I can do.....," I said extending my hands to take the clothes from him.

"Shhh....." He put his finger on my lips that were quivering because of cold.

"Stand still and let me do this for you," he said and rubbed my cold lips with his warm thumb.

"Raise your hands"

I followed his order and it felt like I am a school-going kid who has been punished by the teacher.

He first removed my t-shirt and then bent down to remove the lower. I was now standing in just my underwear. I looked down to hide my cheeks that have now turned to crimson red and fiddle with my fingers. He put his finger under my chin and make me look up.

"Why are you so shy? There is nothing that I haven't seen before" he said

I bite my lips out of nervousness. I don't know why but I still feel shy and conscious about my body. My heart was thumping hard in my chest.

"Don't do this if you don't want me to take you right now, right here"

He took my lips out with his thumb and caressed the area slowly where I was biting.

"They are just mine to do that"

He added and captured my lips with his. He was moving his lips slowly against mine and I returned the gesture with equal fervor. He grabbed my hair in his fist and pulled them down to get better access. He sucked my lower lip asking for my permission but I was so endorsed in that kiss that I didn't get his signal. So he moved his hand down and squeezed my butt. I flinched and opened my mouth wholeheartedly. He then moved my head up to make me face the ceiling and attacked my mouth dominatingly exactly in the way he likes it.

He was rubbing my back up and down igniting the right quantity of heat that my body was asking right now.

When I was out of breath he left my lips and moved towards my neck trailing kisses all over my jawline. He didn't even stop for a second to take a breath. It was looking like these kisses are his oxygen. He was continuously nibbling and sucking my neck making me a moaning mess. He is definitely going to leave marks on my neck.

I was so endorsed in the kind of magic that he was doing to my body that I don't know when he unclasped the remaining cloths on my body. When I came into senses I came to know that It was just dangling on one of my shoulders. He slowly moved that piece of cloth from my shoulder with the help of his pinky finger. I instantly put my hands to hide myself. I have never been in front of him in this condition in so much light. We were either in the dark or very dim light.

"Don't test my patience butterfly. Don't hide the thing from me that is already mine. I am just anyhow controlling myself from not ravishing you at the moment." he said while removing my hands.

I gulped down and hide my face with my hair. He moved my hair and tucked them behind my ears.

"I am your husband and I have every right on you. And this body of yours is mine. So there is no need to feel shy in front of me"

He was looking into my eyes. The lust and want for me were clearly visible in his eyes.

He then grabbed the towel and started to pat me dry. Although it was not needed now as he had already provided me with so much heat which had evaporated all the water from my body.

His fingers were grazing my skin every time he was dabbing the towel. His every touch was so sensual that I was feeling that I am on fire. It was getting very hard for me to stand still and control my moans.

He then went back and grabbed my hairs in his hands, wrapped them in a towel, and pushed them on my right shoulder.

He left a line of kisses on my left shoulder bone while his other hand was busy exploring my body sending tingling sensation everywhere he touch.

He then licked all the way from my acromion to the back of my earlobe with the tip of his tongue. I shuddered under him. This was too much for me. I just closed my eyes.

After that he kissed behind my earlobe giving it the last lick after blowing there. That was it. That was the limit of keeping myself quite.

"Ohh...Atharva"

My eyes rolled and I threw my head back on his chest. He made his grip tight as I moaned his name.

This man know my body more then me. He hits the right nerve at the right place ever damn time.

He then made me face him and makes me wear just his t-shirt without anything underneath it. It reached a little above my knees and was loose from my shoulders.

"You look super hot in my clothes. I would prefer you to roam in my clothes around me" he said and winked.

He again kissed my lips but this time he didn't let his body touch mine because he was still wet. I groaned as I was missing the contact and heat of his body.

He then tucked me in the bed and covered me with a duvet.

"We will continue this tomorrow. For now, just sleep, I will join you in a few minutes." he kissed my forehead and moved towards the bathroom. I know he has gone to take the cold shower. And my doubt was right as I heard the sound of tap.

I turned and slept on my stomach. I was so tired that I started to go in sleep the moment I closed my eyes.

He came back removed the duvet from me and slept over me crushing me completely under him. But I led him because I was too tired to move or say anything and his body was giving me that warmth which any duvet in the world can never provide.
