*******************************************************************************************

Gauri wore the lehenga which her mother has given her to try in the morning... she was trying hard to reach for the second hook of the blouse since the last five minutes.

"Urghhh.... why is it so difficult to wear a choli... did I gain weight?" She thought and looked at her slim waist in the mirror...turning from side to side.

"Not likely... the fitting must be too tight..." she thought when she heard the door of her bedroom open.

"Right on time... maa... help please... I am stuck here... this blouse is too tight" she said not bothering to look at the intruder.

The door was locked, and she heard her mother take steps towards her. In no time she was turned around and pulled into a hard chest making her gasp loud.

She looked at the face to realize that it wasn't her mother but a very livid Omkara staring at her.

"Om..." she started still clutching her open blouse to her chest when his lips closed up on hers swallowing her words.

********************************************************************warning: mature content***********************

The kiss was angry and demanding until Gauri gave in. He nibbled her lips applying more pressure than necessary making her cry out in pain. However, she pulled him closer her hands winding around his neck and fingers gently massaging his scalp in an attempt to calm him down. Slowly he changed his pace, the anger in the kiss melting away into passion. His tongue traced the contours of her mouth tasting her and building tension.

She responded with equal vigour her half open blouse long forgotten. One of hands which cupped her face, left it to move down her neck and shoulder which was partly clad with the cloth... he roughly brought the sleeve down and left her mouth to place open mouthed kisses spanning her neck to shoulder while she moaned at the onslaught.

He pulled her to him firmly holding her waist and kissed her again this time slowly and gently. Gauri smiled into the kiss matching his moves and trying to take lead. After a moment when he let her lead she bit his lip and sucked it before leaving his mouth.

She withdrew a little to look at him, his eyes already open and looking at her. Giving a sweet smile she mumbled a "sorry" and he narrowed his eyes.

"I never thought you are such a great actor Gauri... manna padega" he said and she laughed hugging him while he smiled kissing her neck, his hands spanning her back, playing with the hook.

"I am sorry" she tried again hiding her face from him.

"Gauri... weren't you angry with me for hurting you?" he whispered and she nodded her head in a no "I know why you did it. Arjun called me that day informing about your proposal plan and I returned to your home to see you crying like a baby" she said making crying baby face.

Omkara narrowed his eyes at her and she giggled pulling his cheek.

"One tug and the blouse will come open" he huskily said caressing her bare back and she shivered in response "You need to be punished... I couldn't kiss you till now... such a waste of time Gauri" he accused.

"I will make up for the lost time anyways....All it takes now is one gentle tug" he said.

"You won't..." she said confidently and he raised an eyebrow.

"Now... that is too much trust" he said and she grinned.

"All morals flew out of the window once I heard that you are going to be my bride" he said wickedly smiling and she widened her eyes.

"So? We are not married" she argued and he raised an eyebrow.

"I don't care anymore Gauri" he said before letting off the hook making Gauri screech.

"Om... how did you become so shameless" she whisper yelled and he laughed before picking her up "You pushed the wrong buttons darling" he said as he dumped her on the bed and got on top of her.

"Om... are you serious?" she asked suddenly anxious and he answered her with an earth-shattering kiss removing any other doubts she had.

In record time, he manged to get them both naked under the sheets leaving her mouth only for a short span in between. As he fondled her, she arched her back moaning out his name. She was made for him...a perfect fit like a key to the lock. Her breasts fit perfectly into his hands and he gave it a gentle squeeze as he kissed her neck.

Coming lower, he traced his tongue over the areola making her squirm and hold his shoulders tight. He took the peak into his mouth and she gasped at the sensation closing her eyes. He continued to suck on it while his other hand travelled to her waist holding it tight to the bed.

She opened her eyes to look at him watching her every reaction and blushed. She raised her hand to cup his face and bring it to her lips. She kissed him possessed with passion battling with his tongue and biting his lips while he let her use him to quench her thirst. Her hands passed over his chest and abbs to trace below the v line and he groaned nibbling her lips. She hesitated before touching him and he guided her hand over the throbbing part. She gently stroked it and he almost came undone.

Growling, he caught both her hands and raised them above her head pinning them there with one hand while he touched her with the other.

"Om..!!" she gasped when his fingers grazed the apex of her thighs.

She wriggled in his hold, trying to free herself from the grip wanting to touch him but he would not budge.

"Leave my hands" she whispered and he grinned looking at her heated face "Shouldn't we stop now? We aren't married yet Gauri" he said and she widened her eyes.

"Don't you dare say that... now" she threatened and he chuckled setting her hands free.

She at once pushed him off her, getting on top of him. She lowered her head to his neck pleasuring him with her kisses on his neck down his chest, while he growled her name.

He bore the sweet torture for the next few minutes, after which he rolled them over and spread her legs wide enough. Looking into her eyes, he informed her of what was about to come next and she gently nodded her head giving him his permission.

In one full thrust, he entered her and she cried out in pain. He stilled for a moment before he withdrew only to go deeper this time. He took her mouth in his, kissing her pain away and she hungrily devoured his.

"You are irresistible" he whispered to her and Gauri felt her mind and body would explode at the pleasure he evoked. When they moved in sync they became one, one mind with one goal and purpose, each utterly drunk with the love for the other

"Oh, my goodness..." she exclaimed once she got her breath back "That was..."

"Better than what I imagined it to be" he completed kissing her cheek and grinning widely.

"Haaaaw... you imagined this?" she asked and he rolled his eyes.

"This and much more" he said and she blushed hugging him while he kissed her hair stroking her bare back.

"I should thank your maami for this" he chuckled and she looked at him in confusion.

"I was about to come to your room when she stopped me and created a scene threatening to throw me out of your house when you daadi came and gave her a full on lecture for insulting her damaad ji" he said grinning widely.

"I never thought your daadi can roar that loud... ahhhh... it was too satisfying to see your maami squirm in place" he laughed and she hit him playfully.

"What!!! Did you know how I felt when Shivaay was drawing that design on your hand? I was tempted to haul you and get away from that place... she was getting on to my nerves"

"But you don't believe in all these traditions Om... what difference does it make"

"So? Does that mean I should keep quite letting someone write their name on my girl's hand?"

Gauri rolled her eyes and showed him her hand.

Omkara gently traced his name carefully hidden in the design over her index finger and smiled satisfied.

"Good... but I didn't know the drama then... right?" he asked and she looked at him sheepishly.

"Now madam... before going for the second round would you please tell me what the hell is actually happening here?"

She widened her eyes at him... "there is a second?

"And third and fourth... I am not leaving you for the night and any more nights to come" he informed and she looked at him with a scared look.

He narrowed his eyes at her "first things first... tell me what is happening Gauri"

"I am afraid that you will be angry... first promise me that you will listen to everything patiently before yelling"

"Gauri.... Did I ever yell at you? Why will I be angry... even if I am... how long can I maintain that before you" he said kissing her swollen lips. "Tell me what compelled you to act anger before me though you never told your parents that I hurt you"

"It is Shivaay... about your mother" she meekly said and noticed his expressions changing from confusion to surprise to disbelief.

Now that he did not expect at all.

"What??"

"Yes... Shivaay is my jiju... He is engaged to Anika who is my mother's sister's daughter" she started and he patiently listened.

"That day when I saw how afraid you were to accept me, I decided to find out about your mom but there wasn't much information about her that could bring results out of my investigation... In the meanwhile, I became too absorbed with my books and let the matter rest for the moment... I cannot afford to disappoint you and disgrace your belief in me that I'd be the best writers now... can I?" she explained smiling and he stopped himself from kissing the hell out of her.

Focus Omkara... chided his brain and he gestured her to continue.

"I saw your mom's picture only once when I came to your house party and Kaali uncle showed me your pictures. So, I didn't immediately recognize her when we met at an NGO program eight months ago though I had my doubts. I met her again at Jiju's engagement and there she herself asked me about you."

"I told her you went to UK for your studies and she asked me if she could reach you. I told her that we are not on talking terms and she didn't bother me after that. It was only later that Shivaay pleaded me to help him get you both back together that I agreed. I promise I didn't know it would take so long Om but she visiting Kaali uncle and you knowing her truth worsened the situation" she explained and he remained silent for a few moments before he spoke.

"Gauri... is this the way? I was drowning in guilt that I hurt you and you never were angry at me. I literally craved for you all those days... couldn't you talk to me without all the drama?" he asked touching her cheek.

"Sorry... I thought you would not want to stay here with her once I tell you that I forgave you. Shivaay jiju asked me to do so and I couldn't say a no" she explained and he sighed.

True, he would not have stayed if he knew of the truth before. He did not want to stay now either.

"I thought Rudra was the only dramatic person in your family... turns out you and Jhanvi aunty adds to that list... what did you say to me that day? You don't mean anything to me Omkaraji" he said imitating her and she grinned sheepishly.

"Every time you called me that... I felt like you slapped me... I just can't take your ignorance Gauri... I lost so much in my life running away from love due to my insecurities ... I cannot lose you too...please don't do that to me ever again" he pleaded his eyes turning moist and she kissed his cheeks mumbling a sorry.

"I will never repeat this Om... never will I go away from you" she assured hugging him tight and he soaked in her warmth kissing her temple.

He never felt this happy before and he could not stop that nagging voice in his head which was still afraid to accept it.

********************************************************************** warning : mature content ************************************************************

"Sorry" she said after each kiss she gave him on his cheek till the corner of his mouth. She gently caressed his face taking his lips into her mouth and traced them with her tongue making him open them inviting her tongue inside.

He kissed her feverishly trying to show all his love through it, his hand feeling her soft parts and kneading them building the pleasure again.

"Isn't it time for the second round?" she asked him breathless and he growled a yes before he turned her around such that her back came in contact to his front.

"Let us try a different position this time" he whispered from behind, taking her ear lobe in his teeth and cupped her making her moan.

"Whatever you say" she agreed and he did not hold back.

*********************end of mature part

********************************************************************************************************************************

The morning rays seeped into the room warming the bedsheets and washed the face of the girl wrapped in them taking the appearance of an old photograph, one of nostalgia, so beautiful. Sight still in the clutches of the previous nights glue, Gauri hesitantly rubbed the dreams away. She opened her eyes fatigue seeping out and welcoming the rays when she realized that she was alone in the bed.

Was last night a dream? She thought for a moment and moved slightly to stretch only to utter a yelp feeling the soreness between her thighs. Nope... definitely not a dream... she concluded with a shy smile and got up slowly for her morning activities.

Sitting in the bathtub with warm water for half an hour, the soreness in her muscles considerably withered. She got out of the tub and after a hot shower, exited the washroom, dressed in her backless red Anarkali drying her hair with the towel.

Standing in front of the mirror, she started to work with the hair dresser which howled and screeched to do its job. She reminisced the night events with a fond smile going over and over about how nefarious Omkara was.

Where was this person all the time when she was with him a year and a half back? It was as if he just left every inhibition he ever had to show love and she was left breathless with intensity with which he could show intimacy.

She was so lost in his thoughts that she didn't realise the very subject entering the room locking the door and she jumped in fear when he wound his arms around her waist.

"Sorry for scaring you...but where were you so lost?" he asked her, kissing her temple, hugging from behind.

She just shook her head though a blush coloured her cheeks making him laugh "Ohh... about me then" he declared when she looked at him turning her face to the side.

"What makes you think that I am thinking about you?" she asked with a playful smile and he kissed her cheek before answering "Look at that smile in the mirror" he said pointing to her image before them. "That smile you have now on your face is exclusively reserved for me"

"Where did you go early in the morning?" she asked shaking her head at his boastfulness and he showed her a packet.

She opened it to see a morning after pill along with a strip of oral contraceptives, a lubricant gel and an icepack.

"Take the i-pill after breakfast... apply the ice pack now followed by the gel to help with the soreness. Start the contraceptive from today" he instructed and she nodded her head.

"Dad is coming the day after tomorrow to fix the date for our engagement and then marriage" he informed and she looked at him surprised.

"Om...but..."

"No more buts Gauri... We are going to get married ASAP. I talked to your parents and my Dad"

"Om!! I am not against getting married now but Radhika maa ji...."

"What about her? Do you even have an idea what I went through in my childhood? She feels sorry for it now and I should forgive her? She is selfish enough to keep me away from you only for the purpose of me staying here" he said angrily.

"No Om... she doesn't know about this. She only knows that we had a fight and you have come here to apologize. It was a Shivaay jiju's plan..." she informed but he wasn't convinced.

"Great that she has such a loving son then... she doesn't need me and I don't need her Gauri... I have you, I have my father and that is enough"

"No... it is not Om... you are still angry at her... Why do you think I did all this? I did not do it for her... I did it for you Om... you are always my priority. You don't realize but your past still looms over you... and forgiving people will relieve us from the emotional burden" she said.

"You blame her for hurting your father and snatching away your childhood. You are still emotionally burdened with that hatred Om... only if you forgive will you be happy with your life... let it go... talk to her and settle things" she explained and he looked away.

Gauri wound her hands around his neck and tiptoed to give him a gentle kiss on his cheek and he held her waist kissing her forehead.

"I don't want you to regret later that you did not give her a chance when she willingly came to you asking forgiveness...Please Om?... for me" she whispered and he sighed defeated.

*****************************************************************************************************

Phew...!! that marks the end of chapter 16.

Did I hurt anybody's feelings making them go for the deed before marriage? But guys the guy had stuck to the rule list all his life... a little out of the border should not harm him especially when people were testing his patience.

We are nearing the end of the story... I think I conveyed what I thought of telling when this plot formed in my head...

Let us see if Radhika gets her forgiveness... what do you want?

Let me know...

Till the next update... signing off ...yours Soujanya.
