Muskan placed the chiffon dupatta on her head ready to step outside.

"Rehan...." She called her husband blushing.

"Yes Butterfly?"

She smiled turning red. Hearing him call her butterfly always gave butterflies in her stomach.
"Is my dupatta ok?"

He turned towards her and his gaze got fixated on her not ready to move away.
"MashaAllah."

Muskan blushed harder.
"I meant....my dupatta isn't crooked or anything?"
She asked sheepishly.

Rehan shifted his gaze over her forehead and soon Muskan felt her husband's presence towering in front of her making her breathless.

"Just slightly." He whispered and gently fixed it for her.
"Done! Perfect...just like you."

His gaze settled down on her radiant face and he smiled seeing her flushed cheeks which seemed too irrisistible.

"Butterfly...."

"Ji... "

He brushed his knuckles gently over her apple cheek.
"I wanna bite them...they look soo delicious." He whispered in his own daze.

Muskan gasped, her eyes widening.

"E... everyone's wa... waiting.. please..." She managed to say desperately.

Rehan smiled at her cute reaction and pinched her nose.
"Alright.... let's go. I'll eat them for desert "

"Huh?"

Rehan grabbed her hand entwining thier fingers and guided her down the stairs.

"Here comes the newly weds!" Khushi announced looking at the staircase and everyone around set thier eyes on the couple seeing in awe how The most Feared Mafia Boss was bringing down his wife soo gently...that unusual sweet smile on his face and his beautiful shy wife who really looked like a glass doll beside him.

"Assalamualaikum." Muskan greeted everyone meekly and was greeted back enthusiastically.

"Cutie!!!" Khushi ran to her now Bhabhi and pulled her into a bear hug.
"You look soo pretty! So give me all the yummy details ...what happened last night?" She questioned excitedly.

Muskan turned crimson and Khushi continued teasing her.

"I'll help... Zarina Ma with breakfast." Muskan mumbled blushing and stepped towards the kitchen.

####
Muskan was hell bent on making her husband's favourite gulab jamuns. So she pulled up her sleeves and got cookin' in the kitchen.

"Oh ho this girl!" Zarina Ma walked in shaking her head.
Muskan smiled hearing her voice.

"Why are you in the kitchen? Beta, you just got married yesterday. You should be with your husband right now. Why are you wasting your time here?" She complaint pulling the bride back by her shoulders.

Well, she could be with her husband but his vague talks scared her a bit. Whole day he was talking about biting and eating her cheeks and fingers.
She was worried now...

Was her husband a cannibal of some sorts?

"Ma.... I'm making gulab jamuns for Re... Rehan and everyone too." She answered blushing. Calling him by his name was still difficult given he was soo older to her.

Zarina Ma smiled and patted her head.
"Did Rehan say that he liked gulab jamuns?"

Muskan nodded.

"That's why you were making them soo hurriedly huh? What a sweet girl you are!" She giggled.
"Caring for your husband right from the start?"

Muskan blushed.

"Should I help you?"

She nodded and both the women got busy.

"Mmhh... smells good!"

Muskan's heart skipped a beat hearing her husband's voice.

"Come and see what your wife is busy making for you. You're one lucky man you know that?" Zarina Ma teased.

Rehan smiled.
"That I am."

Muskan blushed.

Zarina Ma gave him a thumbs up and excused herself leaving the couple alone on the kitchen.
Rehan scratched his nape shyly. Being alone with her always got him nervous and excited. Both emotions that had always been alien to him.

"Ma...can you pass me the ladle?"

Rehan said nothing and searched for the ladle confused with the various kinds. He randomly picked one handing it to her.
Muskan felt it in her hands.
"Not this one Ma. The other one to strain the balls from the oil."

Rehan began searching for something that can be used for straining and innocent of the kitchen tools, he handed her a tea strainer.

Now Muskan got confused feeling the tea strainer and understood that the person beside her wasn't Zarina Ma or any of the maids.

"Um...who is it?" She questioned innocently.

"Sorry Butterfly. I couldn't understand what you wanted." Rehan said scratching his neck embarrassed.

Muskan almost laughed at his cute guilty tone.
"It's ok. It will be a round flat spoon type with holes in it and a long handle."

Rehan searched for something matching the description and finally found it and handed it to her. Muskan felt it in her hands and smiled.
"Yes...this is exactly what I needed. Thankyou."

Rehan smiled and was watching her in awe how she was handling everything soo efficiently. Right from adding the raw balls in the oil to carefully taking them out and correctly putting them in the sugar syrup. And she was soo natural while Rehan was dreading her every move guarding her subtly. Everything was already soo burning hot around her. If even a small drop fell on her she could've hurted herself badly.

"Are you sure you don't need any help?"

Muskan nodded confidently.
"I can do it alone. I'm used to it."

His heart ached imagining what she must've been through all those years. He was definitely going to make them regret.

He gently wrapped his arms around her waist from behind earning a cute jumpy gasp from her and then rested his chin over her head.

"My Butterfly has been thorough soo much. But I promise you....no more of that. From now on, I'll keep you like my Queen. Giving you anything and everything you want. It will be in your hands even before your lips utter the word. No need to work hard from now on for anyone. I'll spoil you like a little girl so that you can sit back and order everyone around."

Muskan giggled carrasing her husband's arms loving. Her heart racing.
"Everything I want.... I already got it and even more. I don't desire anything else. All I want to do now is make you happy."

He smiled holding her tighter.
He was already soo happy that he couldn't find the words to describe.

Muskan turned off the stove now as Rehan reluctantly let go of her.

His mouth watered seeing the piping hot pile of gulab jamuns in front of him.
"Are they ready?"

"Yes. Please try them."

"Of course!" He said grinning from ear to ear and tasted one.

"Umm.... delicious!" He moaned closing his eyes.

Muskan blushed. Her heart soaring at her husband's compliment.

After greedily eating 4-5 of them he remembered his wife was standing in front of him.
"Butterfly, you try it too. Here, I'll feed you."

He brought it near her lips as she shyly took a small bite.
"It's good "

"Good? It's the best in the world!"

She blushed harder. Rehan's eyes suddenly swooped down onto something more delicious according to him.

Her lips!

Sparking with the sweet sugar syrup. Rose pink plump lips. He gulped resisting the urge to bite into them or lick the syrup off them.

"Butterfly..." He whispered.

"Yes..."

In his own daze he brought this thumb to her lips not able to take his eyes of them. A dozens of senarios running wild in his head.

"Just...a moment." His voice was husky and Muskan froze when she felt his thumb on her lips wiping them ever soo gently. A shiver running down her spine as his tall frame towered over her standing soo close.

Rehan blinked feeling the softness of her lips under his thumb. It was irresistible... tempting... but he couldn't scare her, he knew that.

So reluctantly he backed off.
"Sorry."

"N...no." She brought her fist to her racing heart.

A tiny breathless whisper fell on his ear. He licked the same thumb imagining it to be her lips but his rough thumb was nothing as compared to her soft petals like lips.

"If...only..." He murmured.

"Ji?"

"Huh? Nothing. Oh right. Now I need to give you a present in return as it's your first day." Rehan added.

"There's no need."

"Why not? You're my wife now. You should demand such things for me."

Muskan blushed.

He took her hand and placed something small which was falling in her palm like gentle rain. Muskan smiled getting an idea of what it might be. A round pendant with a delicate chain to it.

"It's a platinum diamond necklace. Do you like it?"

Muskan nodded beaming feeling it.
"I love it!"

Rehan smiled relieved. He scratched his nape shyly again.
"Uh.... should I put it on?"

Muskan blushed and handed it to him turning her back to him.

He gulped slipping down the dupatta from her head and pushing her soft hair to a side revealing her fair smooth neck. Only he knew how he was resisting the urge to lick her creamy skin at that moment.

He put it around her neck clasping the hook, the momentary touch of his fingers on her neck made her shiver.

"T... thank-you." She said breathlessly.

"No...thankyou Butterfly. With this.... I'll always be with you now."

The pendent rested right over her racing heart.....just like he resided in her heart too.

####
Khushi handed the couple an envelope which Rehan found to be a 6 days 5 nights honeymoon package to Maldives.

"Enjoy a lots you two love birds....do all the naughty things you can imagine." She winked.

Rehan shook his head while Muskan was red like a tomato.

"Baby.... should we go on our second honeymoon too?" Khushi turned to her husband on whose lap she was already being comfortable.

Yasir laughed carrasing her thighs
"Jaan... I won't call it a second honeymoon. Maybe our forth or fifth I guess. But .... it's not a bad idea."

Muskan grinned snaking her arms his neck and pecked his lips not caring that her brother was right there on the adjacent sofa.
"Then let's go na. I really wanna do something sexy..." She moaned seductively.

Yasir gazed at her with lustful eyes.
"Oooh.... I can't wait for that."

Rehan threw a pillow at them.
"Get a room you shameless kids!" He growled.
