Radhika's POV

He stripped me off my clothes and took a good long look at me embarrasing me with the way his orbs were penetrating inside my body. He kissed me softly with his lips sucking mine with passion.
His soft carresses, tender kisses and unusual shower of something close to love took my breathe away.

I looked into his eyes for the first time when we were about to have sex because I never had the guts or rather I didn't want to look at him because all I saw were his icy cold eyes which held nothing to offer me!

But today he was staring at me with rare warmth and he even smiled at me not in a condescending way but a real one!

He cupped my face and kissed my cheek deep before he entered inside me. I winced at the sudden intrusion but the way he kissed me and his fingers played with my hair calmed me down but also put me in a maze.

What is wrong with him?! He is never like this! God, if this is a dream then please don't let me wake up from it. My eyes were moist with the way he was filling me up slowly and not rushing in like he usually does.

If this is some dirty game of this then I don't think so my heart will survive that!

But he had said that he doesn't make love, he only fucks hard! His statement in the morning was completely contradicting him today when he was so gentle with me as if I was made of glass that I will break.

"Are you making love to me, Arjun?!"

There! I finally asked him because I couldn't fight my inner self anymore that was hungry for answers.

He looked away for a minute and then he turned towards me again," I guess I am, you wanted me to make love to you so...." He fell short on words perhaps with the way he paused and looked clueless.

"You fulfilled my wish?!" I asked, in bewilderment.

"No I did what I did for myself! I wanted to see what is so great about making love."

Was he trying to mask his nervousness with arrogance?!

He looked cute with the way he was defending himself or rather was embarrassed if I knew him any better.

"You have not made love to any..."

"Now what did I tell you in the morning?! I must say you are very forgetful!"

"Then why me?! Why did you feel that you should make love to me?!" I asked him as I looked him in the eye.

"You are my wife. Now no more questions. Go to sleep. We have a party to attend tomorrow." He shut me up with a kiss and turned over to the other side.

"Come here." He extended his arm to me and I shifted closer to him," I still like fucking the daylights out of you but we can do this sometimes. It's not so bad." He said in concession as if he was negotiating with me or rather convincing me.

I looked up at him and cupped his face," Are you playing me, Arjun?!"

He climbed on top me again scaring me," If I was playing you then I would not have compromised with my rules and preferences for you. Don't make me mad, thread carefully and we will be fine."

"Do you mean you are giving us a chance?! Our marriage...."

"Do I need to spell out each and everything?! Go to sleep! Don't irritate me, I have to get up early." He flipped over to the other side and with his hand resting behind his head, he lied down with his eyes closed but I know he was wide awake, he was just shutting me out.

I inched closer to him and with my hand placed my head, I slept facing him. He had given me hope of something that I never expected him to even consider as a thought.

Now I wasn't stupid to not understand that this was a big thing for him, especially because he didn't even know what he was proposing because he didn't even had the guts to say it on my face that he was actually making love to me.

"Stop staring at me, Radhika. If you are not sleepy we can continue....."

I cut him off," NO! I am sleepy see I am sleeping." I said as I closed my eyes tightly.

I felt him turning to me, wrapping his arm around my waist, he buried his face in the crook of my neck. He nuzzled against my skin and placed a kiss on my neck. I pretended to sleep but I was actually awake when I could feel his eyes on my face. I don't know when I dozed off reminiscing what just happened between us and a smile stretched on my face incoherently.

Next day#

I opened my eyes to the intrusive sunlight as it penetrated the room through the windows. He was not there in the bed as usual because he wakes up too early and I am in a deep slumber by that time. He wakes up at 4 and I could never wake up so early for the life out of me!

I was going to get up from the bed just then the pounding on the door jump scared me! Who the hell was this?! I quickly grabbed my inners that were lying on the floor where he had discarded them last night. I wore them as fast as I could and rushed to the wardrobe to find a nighty as I cannot wear the sari so fast.

I took out a nighty fast and wore it to conceal my modesty. I opened the door and my cheeks pinked in embarrassment, looking at my sister in law leaning against the doorframe.

"Oh my God! Go take a shower, you smell of sex!"

"Sam!" I chastised her.

"Now don't deny it. I know my brother is such a horndog."

Horndog! I wonder what he would say if he hears this.

"That he is anyways what brings you here?!" I changed the subject diverting her attention from her brother's sexual prowess.

"Oh, he must have told that we have a party to attend today. So just needed your help in selecting my dress. I want to look beautiful...."

"Darling, you are beautiful already. You will look beautiful no matter what you wear." I assured her.

Sam is beautiful with her twinkling black eyes and marble cut jawline. She is lean and a couple of inches taller than me. She is blessed with a good height and she has more of a athlete figure no wonder she is Arjun's sister. Mariam is tall so I guess even Arjun's mom must have had a good height. It's just me who is a Lilliput with all these tall people around me.

"I know but you know I don't have that figure to wear short dresses with a deep neckline." She pouted.

"You better not wear any of that. Your brother will go ape shit!" I said seriously.

"You know I am too lean for those dresses. You need to have some flesh on your body to wear those." She sadly looked down.

"I wish I had your height. I mean I always wished to be a bit more taller. You know I am so short." I shared my insecurity with her to cheer her up and make her feel that she and I are sailing in the same boat.

"Don't be stupid, Radhika. You are so beautiful and you have a very aesthetic figure."

"That's what I am trying to tell you, Sam. Don't be stupid and stop feeling bad about your body. We all have our own insecurities, you have yours and I have mine." I rubbed her arm as I explained her.

"Yeah I guess the grass is always greener at the other side." She relented.

"I will go take a shower. Are you going to sit here and wait or...."

She breaks in on me," I will go work out in the gym unlike you, I do put on weight even by breathing air." She said dramatically.

"Sam!" I chided her.

"Trust me you are a blessed soul. You don't excercise at all yet you don't have a pound of extra fat on your body."

"I have become a little fat now because your brother keeps on forcing food down my throat."

"He can force feed you as much as he wants but you are not going to put on weight that's for sure. Enjoy it darling once you get pregnant, who knows your body might actually start storing fat?!" She teased me.

"I hope it doesn't, I don't want to get fat with your brother looking all hunky dory." I complained.

"I was kidding, Radhika. I don't think so you can ever get fat and even if you do, I don't think so you have anything to worry about. We can workout together then."

"How I hate working out! If I do get fat then I will have to but let's pray that I don't get fat." I said hopefully.

"Go take a shower. We have to select my dress only because Bhai has already selected one for you. And my God! It's gorgeous!" She ranted.

"Really?! What color is it?!" I asked, eagerly.

"You will know soon so now hurry and freshen up." She said giving nothing away.

I took a cold refreshing shower. I stepped out wrapping myself in a white towel.

My eyes widened and my breath got stuck in my throat as my eyes captured the beautiful dress laid out on the bed!
It was a white long dress covering in beautiful white frills across the top part of the dress. It was just exquisite. The bewitching violet ribbon lining intoxicated me in the dress beauty. It was an off shoulder dress with long sleeves with frills on the ends.

Was he here while I was taking a shower?!

Who kept this dress here?!

I couldn't stop admiring the dress. It's was just so beautiful that I had no words to describe its beauty. It wasn't revealing too and that was the biggest relief down my spine. I would not have been comfortable with more skin show and who am I kidding?! Arjun would go mad if I wore something revealing!

All of sudden that same gagging sensation pricked in my throat. I ran back inside the washroom and threw up. What a bummer! My mood soured a bit because an uneasy sensation ran through my body. I hope I don't fall ill and lose the chance to breathe in some fresh air.

I rinsed my mouth and brushed my teeth to get rid of that odour. I had to help Sam so I have to get ready fast. The dress fit me like a glove and I blushed as I realized Arjun knew my body too well.

Just then I heard a knock on the door. I threaded towards it and unbolted it. They were the hair stylist and make up artist. I kindly refused them stating I don't need them but they were dead terrified because of Arjun.

They said if they don't do their work then he might make them pay for their disobedience. So I took them in and let them do their work. I asked them to keep it simple and not overdo it. I don't want to look like a Christmas tree. After they were done with all their work, they left but not before requesting me to give a positive review to the Arjun and I assured them that I will.

I wore my white sparkling heels that added a couple of inches to my height. The gown was still pooling down even though I had put on heels but I have nothing to complain about, this was by far the prettiest dress I have ever worn.

Oh my God! It is difficult to walk with this heavy dress specially when you have to keep holding it up a bit so that you don't step on it. The struggle is real!

I knocked on Sam's door which was about four doors away from our room but on the same floor. I think Arjun likes it this way because he wanted his sister close and I doubt that he wants to keep an eye on his little sister.

My eyes popped out as she opened the door with a thin towel wrapped around her! I pushed her in and closed the door as fast as I could.

"Oh my God! Sam, what is wrong with you?! What if it was someone else?!" I scolded her.

"I was expecting you and I saw you through the peephole." She shrugged.

"My God! You look....." She paused and continued," Stunning! Bhai can never go wrong with clothes. He selected two dresses for me but now I am confused between these two." She said as she held both the dresses up to show me.

"Arjun selected these?!" I asked.

"He sure did but don't you think they are something a slightly older girl should wear. I mean they are a bit more covered up."

If I were to be honest with her, I loved both the dresses and Arjun just knew what would suit her well. The problem was that Sam wanted rather she craved to defy Arjun and go out wearing something revealing just to prove a point. I don't get these two, they are unbelievably close but still they play these silly games with each other.

"What do you think of these one?!" She asked me as she held up another dress that was carnation pink.

It was too short and I wondered if it even would cover her butt amply. How would she even walk comfortably or sit without pulling down the dress every now and then?!

"Its too short. I love this one though." I picked up the one she had put down and one which was Arjun's choice.

I wasn't picking this one because it was his choice but this dress was really elegant yet it was glamorous.

It was light golden colour and it looked as if it was covered in fairy dust. It's ironic how he chose these dresses for us when he himself wears the same color every single day. Black. Black and only Black!

"What about this one?! You are spoilt for choice." I said as I pulled up the other dress that he chose.

It's not like there weren't any other pretty dresses but these two stood out and I would be lying to Sam if I rejected them just because she didn't wanted to go according to her brother's advice.

The other dress that he chose was baby pink which will really complement her skintone. It was a pretty dress ending just at her knee joints. It had a silver belt in the waist region which I think would make her look curvy which is something she always wants.

"Its a pretty dress in fact both of them are just stunning. Choose one fast, Sam! We have to take care of your hair too and you are standing in towel still!" I chided her.

The knock on the door stole our attention. I asked her to wait so I can get the door and attend to whoever it is.

I opened the door to Mary's smiling face," Radhika, Arjun is waiting for you downstairs."

"I was actually helping Sam..."

She breaks in on me,"Its okay I will help her."

"If Sam is comfortable with you..."

"Radhika, I have changed the nappies of both of them." She winked and sidestepped me.

"And you look spectacular!" She complimented me, entering inside the room.

"Thank you." I smiled at her.

"Off you go now! I will handle this one now. She is going to take at least an hour to get ready and half an hour will go in modeling in front of the mirror." She warned me.

"Mary!" Sam pouted.

"Sam, do you need me to stay?!" I asked her.

"No you can go and keep my brother busy so I can get more time to look more pretty." She winked.

"Geez! I will see what I can do." I huffed.

I closed the door behind me and I descended down the staircase to reach the hall. I could hear Arjun barking out orders. How can he shout so much without having a choked up throat?!

Just when I saw him standing in the middle of the hall talking practically screaming his lungs out to his men, I skipped a heartbeat as I took in his perfect form, broad shoulders filling out his suit and his robust chest as he had not buttoned his suit yet.

He looked devilishly handsome in his black tuxedo with his dark soft hair gelled backwards. I could get a glimpse of his robust chest as his top two buttons were open. I wondered how it would be to run my fingers down his toned chest.Just then I heard a knock on the door.

I threaded towards it and unbolted it. They were the hair stylist and make up artist. I kindly refused them stating I don't need them but they were dead terrified because of Arjun. They said if they don't do their work then he might make them pay for their disobedience. So I took them in and let them do their work. I asked them to keep it simple and not overdo it. I don't like to look like a Christmas tree. After they were done with all their work, they left but not before asking me to give a positive review to the Dark Lord. I gave them my word readily.

I cascaded through the staircase to reach the hall. I could hear Arjun shouting orders in his cold business tone. How can he shout so much without having a choked up throat?!

Just when I saw him standing in the middle of the hall talking practically screaming his lungs out to his men, I skipped a heartbeat. His manly broad shoulders looked so enchanting. I couldn't take my eyes off him for several seconds. He looked devilishly handsome in his black tuxedo with his dark soft hair gelled backwards. I could get a glimpse of his chest as his top two buttons were open. I wondered how it would be to run my fingers down his toned chest.

God Stop Radhika!!! You really have a dirty mind and as if you have the guts to do it in front of him!

"You look...." He paused," Even better than what I had imagined in my head." He forwarded his hand to place mine in his.

"But I think something is missing." He said as he looked me up and down, scrutinizing each and every inch of me.

I looked down as I suddenly felt nervous, shy and coy with the way he was staring at me without even blinking his eyes!
