The next morning, Shubman slowly stirred awake, his hand instinctively reaching out to find Reethu beside him. However, as his fingers touched the cool sheets, he realized she wasn't there, causing a pout to form on his lips. He blinked sleepily, stretching his arms above his head before pushing the covers aside and sitting up in bed.

With a sigh, he rubbed the sleep from his eyes before swinging his legs over the edge of the bed and standing up. He stretched once more, feeling the muscles in his back loosen as he yawned. With a lazy shuffle, he made his way to the bathroom, the cool tiles beneath his feet waking him up fully.

After freshening up with a quick shower, Shubman stepped out of the bathroom, the towel hanging low around his waist as he ran his hand through his damp hair. He blinked a few times, adjusting to the light filtering in through the curtains before glancing around the room.

His eyes landed on Reethu, who was seated at the small desk in the corner of the room, her hair pulled back into a messy bun and dressed in one of his oversized t-shirts paired with her shorts. She was engrossed in her work, her fingers flying across the keyboard of her laptop as she focused on designing the drafts for the graphics required for the movie she was working on.

Shubman couldn't help but admire the sight before him, the way her brow furrowed in concentration, her lips pursed in determination. He watched her for a moment, a fond smile tugging at the corners of his lips as he silently approached her.

"Good morning, beautiful," he greeted her softly, his voice carrying a warmth that matched the affection in his gaze.

Reethu looked up from her laptop, her eyes lighting up at the sight of him. "Hey, sleepyhead," she replied, her smile brightening as she pushed her hair back from her face. "Did you sleep well?"

Shubman nodded, taking a seat beside her at the desk. "Like a baby," he replied with a grin, leaning in to press a kiss to her cheek. "But I missed waking up to you beside me."

Reethu's cheeks flushed with warmth at his words, her heart fluttering at the tenderness in his voice. "I'm sorry, love," she said softly, reaching out to squeeze his hand. "I had some work to finish up, but I promise I'll make it up to you."

Shubman shook his head, his smile never faltering. "No need to apologize, sweetheart," he reassured her, his thumb gently caressing the back of her hand. "I understand. Besides, seeing you like this is worth it."

Reethu's heart swelled with love at his words, feeling grateful for the understanding and support he always showed her. She leaned in to press a lingering kiss to his lips, her affectionate gesture speaking volumes of her love for him.

As they pulled away, Shubman couldn't resist teasing her playfully. "So, what's the secret project you're working on?" he asked with a grin, nodding towards her laptop.

Reethu chuckled, rolling her eyes in mock exasperation. "It's not a secret project, silly," she replied with a playful swat to his arm. "Just some graphics for the movie I'm working on. You'll see it soon enough."

Shubman feigned offense, placing a hand over his heart in mock hurt. "I see how it is," he teased, his grin widening as he leaned closer to her. "Keeping secrets from me already, huh?"

Reethu laughed, shaking her head at his antics. "You know I can't keep anything from you," she said with a fond smile, reaching out to ruffle his hair affectionately. "But if you must know, it's going to be amazing."

Shubman's eyes sparkled with excitement at her words, his heart swelling with pride for her talents. "I have no doubt about that," he replied sincerely, leaning in to press another kiss to her cheek. "You always impress me, Reethu."

With a contented sigh, Reethu leaned back in her chair, her hand finding Shubman's once more as they sat there together, basking in the warmth of their love. 

After stealing a few more affectionate glances at Reethu engrossed in her work, Shubman finally stood up from the desk, his towel still loosely draped around his waist. With a soft chuckle, he turned to her, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"I'll let you get back to your work, sweetheart," he said, his voice filled with warmth. "I need to get ready for practice."

Reethu smiled up at him, her eyes soft with affection. "I'll be here when you get back," she replied, her fingers reaching out to brush against his cheek lovingly. "Go knock 'em dead, tiger."

With a grin, Shubman winked at her before turning to head towards the closet, his mind already shifting gears to focus on the day ahead. He quickly rummaged through his clothes, selecting his cricket practice gear with practised efficiency.

Pulling on a fresh pair of shorts and a comfortable t-shirt, Shubman felt the familiar sense of anticipation building within him. Cricket practice was not just a routine for him; it was his passion, his livelihood, and his way of life.

As he slipped on his sneakers and grabbed his cricket bat, Shubman spared a glance at the mirror, adjusting the strap of his bag on his shoulder. Satisfied with his appearance, he turned back to Reethu, flashing her a confident grin.

"Ready to hit the field," he declared, his voice filled with determination as he made his way towards the door.

Reethu looked up from her laptop, her eyes sparkling with pride. "Go show them what you're made of, Shubman," she said, her voice brimming with confidence in him.

With a nod, Shubman shot her a wink before stepping out of the room, his mind already focused on the task at hand. As he made his way down the hallway towards the front door, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement coursing through his veins.

The sun was shining brightly outside, casting a golden glow over the neighbourhood as Shubman stepped out onto the street. The familiar sound of birds chirping and the distant hum of traffic filled the air, a comforting backdrop to the start of another day.

With a quick glance at his watch, Shubman quickened his pace, eager to make it to practice on time. He greeted the neighbours with a friendly nod as he passed by, his thoughts already drifting to the field and the challenges that awaited him there.

As he rounded the corner towards the cricket ground, Shubman felt a sense of anticipation building within him. Practice was his sanctuary, a place where he could immerse himself fully in the game he loved, leaving behind the distractions of the outside world.

With a final burst of energy, Shubman broke into a jog, the sound of his footsteps echoing against the pavement. The cricket ground came into view ahead, the lush green expanse stretching out before him like a welcoming embrace.

As he approached the entrance, Shubman could already hear the sounds of his teammates warming up, the thud of balls against bats and the shouts of encouragement filling the air. With a determined smile, he pushed open the gate and stepped onto the field, ready to give it his all.

For Shubman, cricket wasn't just a sport; it was a passion, a way of life. As he joined his friends and teammates on the field, he immediately felt a surge of energy coursing through him. The familiar sight of Virat, Ishan, Shreyas, Hardik, KL Rahul and Rohit warming up filled him with a sense of camaraderie and determination.

"Hey, Shubman, ready to show us your skills?" Virat called out with a grin, his eyes shining with friendly competition.

Shubman flashed him a confident smile, twirling his cricket bat in his hand. "Always, Virat. Let's do this," he replied, his voice filled with excitement.

As they began their practice session, the air buzzed with the sound of balls being bowled and bats striking them with precision. Shubman felt a rush of adrenaline as he focused on his batting, his movements fluid and precise as he connected with each ball effortlessly.

Amidst the practice, KL Rahul, couldn't resist teasing Shubman about his upcoming birthday. "So, Shubman, any big plans for your birthday?" he asked with a playful smirk.

Shubman shrugged, a small smile playing on his lips. "Nothing too extravagant, probably just go out with Reethu or something," he replied casually, his mind already drifting back to the game.

But Ishan's gasp cut through the chatter, drawing everyone's attention. "Just go out with Reethu?" he exclaimed, his eyes widening in disbelief. "What happened to the party animal we knew, Shubman?"

Shubman chuckled at Ishan's dramatic reaction, shaking his head in amusement. "Guess I've mellowed out a bit," he admitted with a grin, taking a break to catch his breath. "Besides, spending time with Reethu is all I need to celebrate."

But Ishan wasn't convinced, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he exchanged glances with the others. "Nonsense, Shubman. We can't let your birthday go by without a proper celebration," he declared, his voice filled with determination.

Before Shubman could protest, Ishan had already made up his mind. "You're having a party, and it's going to be at my place," he announced, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Shubman raised an eyebrow, surprised by Ishan's sudden insistence. "I don't know, Ishan. I wasn't really planning on anything big," he protested, but the excitement in Ishan's eyes was infectious.

Virat chimed in with a grin. "Come on, Shubman, it'll be fun. We'll make sure you have a birthday to remember," he said, his tone persuasive.

Shubman glanced around at his friends, feeling touched by their enthusiasm. Despite his initial reluctance, he couldn't deny the warmth and camaraderie they shared. "Alright, alright, you win," he conceded with a laugh. "But no wild parties, okay?"

Ishan beamed with satisfaction, clapping Shubman on the back. "Don't worry, we'll keep it under control," he promised, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

As the banter continued, Ishan couldn't resist adding another playful jab. "Don't worry, Shubman, everyone's wives and my girlfriend will be there too," he teased, his grin widening mischievously. "So, you won't have to worry about Reethu missing out on the fun."

Shubman laughed along with the others, shaking his head in amusement. "Thanks, Ishan, that's very reassuring," he replied with a chuckle, knowing full well that the presence of their significant others would only add to the celebration.

Hardik joined in on the teasing, nudging Shubman playfully. "You know what they say, the more the merrier," he quipped, earning nods of agreement from the rest of the group.

Shubman rolled his eyes in mock exasperation, but his heart swelled with gratitude for the close-knit bond they shared. "Alright, alright, I get it," he conceded with a grin. "It's going to be a party to remember."

With the decision made, they continued their practice session with renewed energy and determination. The friendly competition between teammates only served to strengthen their camaraderie, each one pushing the other to perform at their best.

As the sun began to dip below the horizon, signalling the end of practice, Shubman couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement building within him. The thought of celebrating his birthday with his friends and loved ones filled him with anticipation, knowing that it would be a night filled with laughter, joy, and cherished memories.

As they gathered their gear and prepared to head home, Shubman exchanged knowing glances with his teammates, a shared excitement evident in their eyes. With a final round of fist bumps and well-wishes, they parted ways, each one looking forward to the celebration that awaited them. And as Shubman made his way home, his heart filled with gratitude for the friendships he had forged and the love that surrounded him, he knew that his birthday would be a day to remember, thanks to the support and camaraderie of his teammates.

As Shubman arrived home, the anticipation for his birthday celebration lingered in his mind, mixing with the warmth of the day's camaraderie with his teammates. He stepped through the door, greeted by the comforting sight of his home bathed in soft, golden light.

Reethu looked up from her laptop as he entered, her eyes brightening with a warm smile. "Hey, welcome back," she greeted him, setting aside her work for a moment. "How was practice?"

Shubman returned her smile, feeling a rush of affection for her. "Practice was great," he replied, crossing the room to join her. "But more importantly, I've got some news about my birthday."

Reethu raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. "Oh? What's the news?" she asked, setting aside her work completely to focus on him.

Shubman couldn't help but grin, excitement bubbling up inside him. "Well, it looks like we're having a party," he announced, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "Ishan insisted on throwing one at his place."

Reethu's eyes widened in surprise, a delighted smile spreading across her face. "That sounds like fun!" she exclaimed, reaching out to squeeze his hand. "I'm sure it'll be a great celebration."

Shubman nodded, feeling grateful for her support and enthusiasm. "Yeah, it should be a blast," he agreed, leaning in to press a quick kiss to her cheek.

The sound of laughter and music filled the air as Shubman and Reethu made their way through the crowded room, their hands intertwined. The party was in full swing, the lively atmosphere buzzing with excitement and energy. Shubman couldn't help but feel a sense of joy and anticipation as he glanced around at their friends and loved ones, all gathered to celebrate his birthday.

Dressed in a stylish red satin shirt, the top buttons left casually undone, paired with sleek black jeans, Shubman cut a dashing figure as he moved through the crowd. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he caught glimpses of familiar faces, exchanging greetings and smiles with his friends and teammates.

Beside him, Reethu looked absolutely stunning in a knee-length red satin dress that hugged her curves in all the right places. Her hair cascaded in soft waves around her shoulders, and her eyes shone with happiness as she soaked in the festive atmosphere.

As they navigated through the throng of guests, Shubman couldn't resist stealing glances at his beautiful wife, feeling a surge of pride and affection swell within him. He reached out to gently squeeze her hand, a silent gesture of gratitude for her unwavering love and support.

"Having fun?" he asked, leaning in close to speak over the music, his voice filled with warmth.Reethu flashed him a radiant smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Absolutely," she replied, her voice tinged with excitement. "I'm so happy to be here celebrating with you."

Shubman's heart swelled with love at her words, feeling incredibly blessed to have her by his side. "Me too," he murmured, pressing a tender kiss to her temple.

As they continued to mingle with the guests, Shubman couldn't shake off the desire to steal a moment alone with Reethu amidst the festivities. With a mischievous twinkle in his eye, he leaned in to whisper in her ear.

"Care to take a break from the party for a moment?" he suggested, his voice low and enticing.

Reethu's eyes widened in surprise, a playful smile tugging at her lips. "What do you have in mind?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.

Shubman grinned, his gaze flickering towards the bathroom door nearby. "Follow me, and I'll show you," he replied, reaching out to take her hand.

With a shared glance filled with excitement and anticipation, Shubman and Reethu slipped away from the crowd and made their way to the bathroom. As they stepped inside and closed the door behind them, the noise from the party faded into the background, leaving them in a cocoon of privacy and intimacy.

Shubman couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement as he locked the door behind them, his heart pounding with anticipation. Turning to face Reethu, he couldn't help but admire the way the soft light from the bathroom illuminated her features, casting a warm glow over her skin.

Reethu met his gaze with a playful smile, her eyes dancing with mischief. "So, what's the big surprise?" she teased, her voice laced with excitement.

Shubman grinned, reaching out to gently cup her face in his hands. "No surprise, just wanted a moment alone with my beautiful wife," he replied, his voice filled with love.

Reethu's heart fluttered at his words, feeling a rush of warmth spread through her. Leaning into his touch, she wrapped her arms around his waist, drawing him close.

"I love you," she whispered, her voice a soft declaration of their love. "I love you too," Shubman murmured his voice a tender echo of her sentiment.

As the door clicked shut behind them, enveloping them in a private haven away from the lively party, Shubman felt a surge of desire coursing through him. The soft light from the bathroom cast a warm glow over the room, illuminating Reethu's features and accentuating her beauty.

With a playful glint in his eyes, Shubman gently guided Reethu to sit on the countertop, her legs dangling over the edge. Standing in between her parted legs, he couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement at the closeness they shared.

His hands instinctively reached out to trace the curve of her thighs, the satin fabric of her dress smooth beneath his touch. Reethu's breath hitched at the sensation, her skin tingling with anticipation.

excitement and anticipation. "Only for you," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

With trembling fingers, Shubman reached out to trace the delicate outline of her bra, his touch sending sparks of electricity dancing along her skin. The lace felt soft and smooth beneath his touch, a testament to the beauty of the woman before him.

Unable to resist any longer, he leaned in to press a trail of kisses along the curve of her neck, his lips trailing down to the swell of her breasts. The soft gasp that escaped Reethu's lips only fueled his desire further, igniting a firestorm of need deep within him.

As he trailed his kisses lower, his hands worked to unclasp her bra, releasing her breasts from their lacy confines with practised ease. The sight of her bare skin beneath him was enough to make his breath catch in his throat, his pulse racing with excitement.

Reethu arched her back, offering herself up to him with unabashed desire as he lowered his mouth to her breast, his tongue swirling sensuously around her hardened nipple. Her fingers tangled in his hair, urging him closer as she surrendered herself to the dizzying whirlwind of pleasure that engulfed them.

With a devilish grin playing on his lips, Shubman couldn't resist teasing Reethu further, his fingers tracing tantalizing patterns along her skin as he continued to lavish attention on her body.

"Does that feel good, baby?" he murmured against her skin, his voice dripping with seductive promise.

Reethu's breath hitched at his touch, her body arching towards him in a silent plea for more. "Yes," she gasped, her voice a breathless whisper.

With a wicked gleam in his eyes, Shubman leaned in to capture her lips in a searing kiss, his tongue tracing along her bottom lip with teasing insistence. Reethu melted against him, her hands roaming over his body with a hunger born of longing as she surrendered herself to the intoxicating heat of their desire.

Reethu's lips curled into a playful smirk as she felt Shubman's desire intensify under her touch. With a mischievous glint in her eyes, she leaned in close, her breath hot against his ear.

"Feeling good, Daddy?" she teased, her voice dripping with seductive mischief.

Shubman's breath hitched at the unexpected term of endearment, his body responding instinctively to the sultry tone of her voice. A low growl rumbled in his chest as he claimed her lips in a heated kiss, his hands roaming over her body with a possessive hunger.

"Always," he murmured against her lips, his voice husky with desire.

Reethu's laughter bubbled up at his response, the sound a sweet melody that echoed through the room as she surrendered herself to the intoxicating heat of their passion. 

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

With a tantalizing smile dancing on her lips, Reethu's fingers deftly moved to undo the buttons of Shubman's red satin shirt, each one yielding to her touch with a soft click. As she exposed more of his sculpted chest, her gaze drank in the sight of his taut muscles, the rhythmic rise and fall of his breath stirring a hunger deep within her.

Shubman's breath caught in his throat as Reethu's hands trailed along his skin, the sensation sending shivers of pleasure coursing through him. He watched with rapt attention as she slowly peeled the fabric away, revealing more of his bare chest to her hungry gaze.

"God, you're driving me crazy," he murmured, his voice thick with desire as he met her eyes, his own filled with an intensity that mirrored her own.

Reethu's lips curled into a knowing smile at his admission, her fingers lingering on his chest as she revelled in the power she held over him. "That's the idea, isn't it?" she teased, her voice husky with desire.

With a playful glint in her eyes, she leaned in to press a trail of kisses along his newly exposed skin, her lips tracing a path from his collarbone to his chest. Each touch sent bolts of electricity coursing through him, igniting a firestorm of need deep within his core.

Unable to resist any longer, Shubman's hands moved to thread through Reethu's hair, guiding her closer as he claimed her lips in a searing kiss. Their tongues danced in a passionate tango, each movement fueled by an unquenchable thirst for one another.

As they lost themselves in the dizzying whirlwind of their desire, Reethu's fingers trailed lower, deftly unbuckling Shubman's jeans with practiced ease. With a soft gasp of anticipation, she slipped her hand beneath the waistband, her touch sending a surge of heat straight to his core.

Shubman's head fell back in ecstasy as Reethu's hand roamed over his heated skin, his senses overwhelmed by the intoxicating pleasure of her touch. He surrendered himself completely to the blissful haze of their passion, lost in the euphoria of their union.

With each touch, each caress, the heat between them intensified, igniting a wildfire of passion that threatened to consume them both. As Reethu's fingers danced over the taut muscles of Shubman's abdomen, he groaned softly, his body trembling with anticipation.

Reethu's lips curled into a sultry smile as she felt his reaction, her own desire matching his as she continued to explore the contours of his body. With practised skill, she slid his jeans down his legs, revealing his toned physique in all its glory.

Shubman's breath hitched at the sensation of her touch, his pulse racing with a heady mixture of lust and longing. He reached for her, pulling her close as their bodies moulded together in a passionate embrace.

"God, you're incredible," he whispered against her lips, his voice thick with desire.

Reethu's heart swelled with affection at his words, her own desire burning bright as she pressed herself against him. "So are you," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.

With a hungry growl, Shubman claimed her lips in a searing kiss, their tongues dancing in a frenzied rhythm as they lost themselves in the dizzying whirlwind of their desire. Their bodies moved together with primal urgency, each touch sending shockwaves of pleasure coursing through them.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Reethu's lips trailed along Shubman's skin, leaving a trail of soft kisses in their wake. She paused as she reached the intricate tattoo that adorned his chest, her fingers tracing the intricate lines with gentle reverence.

Shubman's breath caught in his throat as he felt her lips press against the inked design, sending waves of pleasure coursing through him. The tattoo held deep meaning for him, a symbol of his journey and the experiences that had shaped him into the man he was today. It was specially dedicated to his mother.

Reethu's kisses were like a sweet balm, soothing the ache in his soul and filling him with a sense of warmth and belonging. Each touch, each caress, spoke volumes of the love they shared, a love that transcended words and boundaries.

As she continued to place tender kisses over his tattoo, Shubman felt a surge of emotion welling up inside him. He reached for her, pulling her close as he buried his face in her hair, inhaling the scent of her shampoo with a sense of reverence.

"You're everything to me, Reethu," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. "I love you more than words can express."

Reethu's heart swelled with love at his words, her own eyes brimming with tears of joy. "And I love you, Shubman," she replied, her voice trembling with emotion. "More than anything in this world."

As Shubman reached over to the side table, Reethu's heart raced with anticipation, assuming he was reaching for a condom packet. However, her anticipation turned to confusion when she saw him retrieve another box alongside the packet. Her brow furrowed slightly as she watched, her curiosity piqued.

Her confusion turned to astonishment as Shubman pulled out a pair of handcuffs from the box, her eyes widening in surprise and her cheeks flushing crimson. A million thoughts raced through her mind as she tried to comprehend what he had in mind, her pulse quickening with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

Shubman's lips curved into a seductive smile as he caught sight of Reethu's reaction, his gaze filled with a hunger that mirrored her own. With a slow, deliberate movement, he held up the handcuffs, his voice a low murmur filled with promise.

"Are you ready for a little adventure, baby?" he whispered, his eyes smoldering with desire.

Reethu's breath caught in her throat as she met his gaze, her heart pounding with anticipation. A myriad of emotions swirled within her – excitement, arousal, and a hint of apprehension. But above all, there was a fierce craving to surrender herself completely to the passion that burned between them.

With a silent nod, Reethu's eyes sparkled with a mixture of trust and desire as she surrendered herself to the unknown. In that moment, she knew that whatever lay ahead, they would face it together – united in their love and bound by the unbreakable bond that held them together.

As Shubman leaned in to claim her lips in a searing kiss, Reethu melted against him, her body buzzing with anticipation for the erotic journey that awaited them. 

With a wicked gleam in his eyes, Shubman's fingers trailed along Reethu's skin, sending shivers of anticipation coursing through her body. He relished the way her breath hitched at his touch, her skin tingling with electricity as he drew closer.

Reethu's heart raced with excitement as Shubman's hands gently guided hers above her head, his touch sending a wave of heat rushing through her veins. With a flick of his wrist, he secured one of the handcuffs around her wrist, the metallic click sending a thrill of anticipation racing down her spine.

Her pulse quickened with each passing moment as Shubman repeated the process with her other wrist, the sensation of being restrained igniting a fierce hunger deep within her. She was completely at his mercy, her body aching with desire as she surrendered herself to the intoxicating thrill of their forbidden game.

Shubman's lips brushed against her ear in a teasing caress, his voice a husky whisper filled with promise. "You look absolutely breathtaking like this, my love," he murmured, his words sending a shiver of excitement down her spine.

Reethu's cheeks flushed with heat at his words, her body buzzing with anticipation for what was to come. She met his gaze with a mixture of desire and trust, her heart pounding with excitement as she surrendered herself completely to him.

With a slow, deliberate movement, Shubman leaned in to claim her lips in another searing kiss, their tongues dancing in a passionate embrace as they lost themselves in the heat of the moment. 

With a primal hunger driving him, Shubman lowered his head between Reethu's thighs, his lips trailing kisses along her heated skin. He could feel her anticipation building, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she awaited his next move.

Without hesitation, he parted her slick folds with his tongue, delving deep into her core with a slow, tantalizing stroke. Reethu's back arched in response, a moan escaping her lips as waves of pleasure washed over her.

The taste of her desire was intoxicating, driving Shubman to delve deeper, to explore every inch of her with fervent devotion. His tongue danced against her sensitive flesh, drawing out her sweetest moans and igniting a wildfire of need within her.

Reethu's fingers clenched against the restraints, her body writhing with pleasure as Shubman continued to lavish attention on her with skilled precision. Each flick of his tongue sent shockwaves of ecstasy coursing through her, building the tension to an unbearable peak.

Lost in the throes of passion, Reethu surrendered herself completely to the overwhelming pleasure that consumed her, her senses overwhelmed by the intensity of their connection. With every stroke, every caress, she felt herself spiralling closer to the edge, teetering on the brink of ecstasy.

And as Shubman continued to pleasure her with a hunger that mirrored her own, she knew that they were united in a bond that transcended words – a love that burned with a fiery intensity that could never be extinguished. 

As Shubman's tongue delved deeper, Reethu's breath hitched in her throat, her voice trembling with pleasure as she uttered his name in a husky whisper.

"Shubman," she moaned, her fingers curling against the restraints as waves of ecstasy washed over her.

Shubman's lips curved into a satisfied smirk at the sound of her voice, his own desire fueled by her sweet surrender.

"Do you like that, baby?" he murmured against her skin, his voice thick with desire as he continued to pleasure her with fervent devotion.

Reethu could only respond with a desperate whimper, her body writhing with pleasure as she struggled to find her voice amidst the overwhelming sensations that consumed her.

With each stroke of his tongue, she felt herself teetering on the edge of oblivion, her need for release reaching a fever pitch.

"Oh god, yes," she gasped, her voice filled with urgency as she surrendered herself completely to the pleasure that engulfed her.
As Shubman's desire surged, a primal urge overtook him. With a commanding tone, he ordered, "Call me daddy."

Reethu's breath caught in her throat at his demand, her heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. She hesitated for a moment, her mind racing with conflicting emotions, before finally surrendering to the intoxicating thrill of his command.

"Daddy," she breathed, her voice barely above a whisper, the word tasting foreign and yet strangely exhilarating on her lips.

Shubman's eyes darkened with desire as he heard her comply, his arousal spiking at the sound of her submissive response. The power he held over her ignited a fierce hunger within him, driving him to push the boundaries of their passion even further.

With a low growl of satisfaction, he resumed his ministrations, his touch becoming more urgent as he sought to claim her completely. Each stroke, each caress was imbued with a primal intensity, fueling the flames of their desire to new heights.

With each utterance of the word "daddy" from Reethu's lips, Shubman's desire surged, his control slipping further with each passing moment. The sound of her submission stirred something primal within him, awakening a hunger that burned with an insatiable intensity.

"Daddy likes it when you obey," Shubman growled, his voice thick with lust as he continued to pleasure her with an unyielding fervour. His dominance over her fueled his arousal, driving him to push the boundaries of their passion even further.

Reethu's breath hitched at his commanding tone, her body responding instinctively to his dominance. She surrendered herself completely to him, her senses overwhelmed by the overwhelming pleasure that consumed her.

"Yes, Daddy," she moaned, her voice a breathless whisper as she abandoned herself to the ecstasy of their connection.

Shubman's lips curled into a satisfied smirk at her compliance, his desire reaching a fever pitch as he revelled in the power he held over her. With each stroke, each caress, he stoked the flames of their passion, driving them both to the brink of ecstasy.

At that moment, there was no room for doubt or hesitation – only the fierce intensity of their desire, binding them together in a bond that defied logic and reason. And as they surrendered themselves completely to the ecstasy that engulfed them, they knew that their love was a force to be reckoned with – a flame that burned with an unquenchable fervour, lighting up the darkness with its incandescent glow.

With a primal urgency coursing through his veins, Shubman reached for the condom, his movements swift and determined. He tore open the packet with a single, fluid motion, his fingers trembling with anticipation as he rolled it onto his throbbing length.

Reethu's breath hitched as she watched him, her body pulsing with need as she awaited his next move. The sight of him preparing himself for her sent a surge of desire racing through her veins, her anticipation mounting with each passing moment.

With a primal urgency in his voice, Shubman murmured, "Are you ready for me, baby?"

Reethu's breath caught in her throat as she met his gaze, her eyes blazing with desire. "Yes, Daddy," she gasped, her voice trembling with anticipation.

With a low growl of satisfaction, Shubman positioned himself between her legs, his gaze never leaving hers as he prepared to claim her as his own.
"God, I need you," she whispered, her voice barely above a moan as she tried to reach for him, but the restraints held her back.

Shubman's lips curved into a hungry smirk at her words, his desire burning with an intensity that matched her own. "You're mine," he growled, his voice thick with lust as he positioned himself to enter her.

And then, with a single, powerful thrust, he plunged himself deep inside her, their bodies joining in a fierce union that left them both breathless with ecstasy. Reethu cried out in pleasure as she felt him fill her completely, her senses overwhelmed by the intensity of their connection.

Shubman's movements were relentless, his hips driving forward with a primal urgency as he sought to claim her as his own. Each thrust sent shockwaves of pleasure coursing through Reethu's body, her pleasure mounting with each rhythmic movement.  "You feel so good, baby," he groaned, his voice rough with desire as he lost himself in the intensity of their passion.

Their passion burned with a fiery intensity, their bodies moving together in a primal dance of desire and longing. At that moment, there was only them – lost in the dizzying whirlwind of their passion, their souls entwined in a symphony of ecstasy and longing.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

As their passionate encounter reached its peak, Shubman's movements became more frenzied, his primal instincts driving him to push them both to the brink of ecstasy. With each powerful thrust, he felt himself teetering on the edge, his desire reaching a fever pitch as he lost himself in the intoxicating heat of their connection.

With a final, shuddering groan, Shubman released himself inside her, his body trembling with the force of his release. Reethu's breath caught in her throat as she felt him spill his essence into her, her own pleasure cresting with the intensity of his climax.

As they lay tangled together in the aftermath of their passion, their bodies slick with sweat and their hearts racing with exhilaration, Shubman reached for the condom, his movements slow and deliberate as he removed it with care. With a sense of reverence, he disposed of it, his gaze never leaving Reethu's as he returned to her side.

Reethu's chest rose and fell with the rhythm of her laboured breaths, her skin flushed with the remnants of their shared ecstasy. She watched him intently, her heart swelling with love and desire for the man who had just brought her to the heights of pleasure.

With a gentle touch, Shubman took Reethu's wrists, his fingers lingering over the tender skin as he released her from their restraint. He could see the faint impressions left by the metal, evidence of her submission to him, and his heart swelled with a mixture of pride and tenderness.

With gentle fingers, he released the handcuffs from her wrists, his touch tender and loving as he kissed the red marks they had left behind. "I didn't hurt you, did I?" he murmured, his voice filled with concern as he caressed her skin.

Reethu shook her head, a soft smile gracing her lips as she reached for him, her fingers tracing the contours of his face with a gentle touch. "No, it was perfect," she whispered, her voice filled with love and gratitude.

Leaning in close, Shubman pressed a series of soft kisses along the red marks, his lips tracing each one with reverent care. He could feel the heat of her skin beneath his touch, her pulse racing with the lingering echoes of their passion.

Reethu's breath caught in her throat at the gentle caress of his lips, her heart overflowing with love for the man who had just claimed her as his own. She reached out to cup his cheek, her touch tender and affectionate as she gazed into his eyes with adoration.

"Thank you, Daddy," she whispered, her voice filled with a mixture of reverence and affection.

Shubman's heart swelled with emotion at her words, his love for her burning brighter than ever before. With a soft smile, he pressed a final kiss to her wrist before pulling her into his arms, holding her close as they basked in the afterglow of their shared passion.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

As Shubman felt Reethu's gentle touch and her warm breath against his skin, a sense of peace washed over him. In the quiet intimacy of their embrace, he found solace, his mind drifting into a state of tranquil reflection.

"You're so beautiful," he whispered softly to her, his voice barely above a murmur as he pressed a tender kiss to the top of her head.

But in the stillness of the moment, his mind was anything but calm. Thoughts and emotions churned within him, swirling like a tempest in his soul.

"I never want to let you go," he admitted quietly, his words tinged with vulnerability as he held her close, his arms wrapped protectively around her.

But even as he revelled in the warmth of their connection, doubts and insecurities lingered at the edges of his consciousness, threatening to overshadow the tranquillity of their embrace.

"What if I'm not enough for you?" he mused silently to himself, his thoughts filled with uncertainty and self-doubt. "What if I can't give you everything you deserve?"

But as Reethu rested her forehead against his shoulder, her presence a comforting anchor in the storm of his thoughts, Shubman found himself reassured.

"You are enough," she whispered, her voice soft and reassuring as she reached up to brush her fingers against his cheek. "You've always been enough for me."

And at that moment, as their hearts beat in unison and their souls intertwined in a bond that defied explanation, Shubman knew that he was exactly where he was meant to be – wrapped in the arms of the woman he loved, finding strength and solace in the depth of their connection.

As tears welled up in Shubman's eyes, his emotions threatening to overwhelm him, he felt a gentle hand reach up to cup his cheek. He blinked, startled, as he turned to meet Reethu's gaze, seeing tears glistening in her own eyes.

"Hey, what's wrong?" she whispered softly, her voice filled with concern as she brushed her thumb over his cheek, wiping away the tears that streamed down his face.

Shubman shook his head, unable to find the words to express the tumult of emotions swirling within him. "I... I don't know," he admitted, his voice choked with emotion as he reached up to cover her hand with his own.

Reethu's heart ached at the sight of his tears, her own eyes misting over with empathy and love.  "Hey, hey," she murmured, her voice tender as she leaned in to press a gentle kiss to his cheek. "The birthday boy isn't supposed to cry, remember? Not now, not ever."

Shubman managed a weak smile at her attempt to lighten the mood, his heart swelling with gratitude for her unwavering support. "I know," he whispered, his voice barely above a whisper as he pulled her close, seeking solace in the warmth of her embrace.
As they held each other close, Shubman felt a sense of calm wash over him, his heart gradually steadying beneath Reethu's gentle touch. With her by his side, he felt stronger, and more capable of facing whatever challenges lay ahead.

"I'm sorry," he murmured, his voice barely a whisper as he pressed his forehead against hers, their breath mingling in the space between them.

Reethu shook her head, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips as she brushed her fingers through his hair. "There's nothing to be sorry for," she reassured him, her voice soft and soothing. "We all have moments when our emotions get the better of us."

Shubman nodded, feeling a weight lift from his shoulders at her understanding words. "I just... I want everything to be perfect," he admitted, his voice tinged with vulnerability. "Especially for you."

Reethu's heart swelled with love at his heartfelt confession, her eyes shining with affection as she gazed into his. "You already make every moment perfect, Shubman," she whispered, her voice filled with unwavering certainty. "Just by being you."

And at that moment, as they stood wrapped in each other's arms, their hearts beating in unison, Shubman knew that he was exactly where he was meant to be – with the woman who loved him unconditionally, guiding him through life's ups and downs with her steadfast presence and boundless affection.

As Shubman held Reethu close, his mind drifted back to the day that had changed everything – the day his parents had taken him to meet her for the first time, to ask for her hand in marriage. 

It felt like a lifetime ago, yet the memories were etched in his mind with crystal clarity.

He recalled the anticipation and nervousness that had churned in his stomach as they waited in her house, his heart pounding with uncertainty and hope. And then, the moment she had descended the stairs, radiant in her lavender saree with the delicate sleeves, he had been mesmerized.

"I still remember that day," Shubman murmured softly, his voice tinged with nostalgia as he buried his face in Reethu's hair, inhaling the sweet scent that always comforted him. "The moment I saw you, I knew... I knew you were the one."

Reethu smiled against his chest, her fingers tracing patterns on his skin as she listened to his words. "I felt it too," she whispered, her voice barely above a whisper. "From the moment our eyes met, I knew there was something special about you."

Shubman chuckled softly, the sound reverberating through his chest as he tightened his embrace around her. "I remember how I couldn't take my eyes off you," he admitted, a hint of embarrassment colouring his cheeks. "I must have looked like a fool."

Reethu lifted her head to meet his gaze, her eyes sparkling with affection. "You looked perfect," she reassured him, her voice filled with love. "And when you offered to help me make coffee, I knew you were different."

They shared a tender smile, their hearts swelling with the memories of that fateful day – the day that had set them on the path to their future together. And as they stood entwined in each other's arms, surrounded by the warmth of their love, they knew that their journey was just beginning – a journey filled with endless possibilities and boundless love.
