SHUMAYLL

The ring fit her perfectly, i knew her favorite color is black so i had the ring engraved in black and silver stones

it was the king and queen ring

She was not the whole gold kinda girl and our rings would match though

her birthday bash came to an end after dinner and we had to part ways

Iqra was already falling asleep

By the time we reached home, she was sleeping soundly

Chuckling, I got off and decided to carry her up to the room

abba and mom were already asleep i think as they had come home early whilst bhai and bhabhi were still not home as bhabhi wanted to go some place at midnight!

I opened the front door and then headed upstairs after closing it behind me making a mantle note to check it after i place Iqra on the bed

After i placed my wife on the bed, i pulled the comforter over her and hit on the ac to 22 degrees before walking out of the room to check on the front door

Locking the door, i checked the kitchen for food and found some chips

taking it with me along with a bottle of water, i went back to my room to finish off some pending work

I set there with my laptop until 3 in the morning when i heard Iqra shuffle around the bed

I turned around to her and saw that she was seated on the bed, staring at me

'Why are you up?" i questioned her and she sighed

"Why are you not sleeping?" she questioned me and i smiled

"Because i have work, now sleep" i said and she shook her head

stepping off the bed, she stood straight and looked down on herself

"Eeek, i look horrible! I need to change" she muttered

i chuckled

She walked into the bathroom and i went back to work

tapping away in my laptop, i stopped again when i heard the bathroom door shut

I looked up to see Iqra walking out, her hair slightly damp and she wore a tees and leggings

typical Iqra

"Why did you wash you hair this late?" i asked her and she shrugged

"You will get a cold!" i tried to reason and she chuckled

"Relax, i am fine!!" she muttered and i sighed

she took a seat infront of me on the floor and leaned onto the couch as she switched on the TV

Some cartoon began playing and she set there watching

I sighed and went back to work

10 minutes later, i was beside her, pulling her onto my lap

"What the- Shumayll!!" she whined and hit my chest

"You know you love me" i winked, brushing her wet hair away from her neck

She tensed under my touch but eventually relaxed

guess she needs more practice!

Leaning back onto my chest, she turned her attention towards the movie again

"Iqra............" I said

"Hmmmmmm?" she replied

"When do you want the reception to be?" i asked her

"I really don't know........" she said, her mind distracted

"What are you thinking about?" i asked her

"N-Nothing" she muttered but i felt her body heat up

"Why are you all hot?" i asked again

"Nothing!! Its stupid really" she muttered

"No- what is it?" i asked her, tilting my head to see her face

"Its- its just that.... nothing really" she muttered looking away

"Iqra- what is it!?!!" I asked her again and she sighed

"Its just that before walimah, its a must that the marriage be consummated and............ stuff" she said in one breath but i was able to hear her clearly

"Annnddd?" i drawled and she sighed putting her face in her hands

"Shumayll! This is crazy! I am off to sleep!" she said and tried to get up

i chuckled and pulled her back on my lap

"Na-ah" i said and she sighed against me

"We will make it through" i whispered against her neck and she sighed again

"promise?" she asked me and i smiled

"Promise" i replied, placing a soft kiss on her neck

Her body slowly tensed with my activity

My hands went around her waist and held hers on her lap, i rubbed my thumb over hers to slowly cease her tension

"Relax..... i will never jeopardize you in any way" I whispered and she leaned back again

I smiled as my nose tickled her ear lobes earning a soft giggle from her

"Damn it girl!" i muttered as i placed another soft feathery kiss just beneath her ear and her body heated up, her hands tightening around mine on her lap

I continued to place feathery kisses down the crook of her neck, still not getting enough of the scent of hers that wrapped around me like a thick blanket

All i could hear were her soft but heavy breaths, her erratic heartbeat matching mine and her fingers digging into my palms due to the sensations that coursing within her

"Sh-Shumayll" she managed to say and i halted my actions immediately

"You alright?" i muttered and she barely shook her head

"Sleep?" i questioned and she heaved a deep sigh

"Yes please" she muttered and i smiled

placing one last kiss on the crook of her neck, i hoisted her up with me and stalked towards the bed

placing her on the bed, i noticed that i had left faint marks on her skin

Exhaling a deep breath, i pulled the blanket over her body and just when i was about to leave, she pulled me back, with so much force that i was on top of her and if it had not been for my reflexes, i would have crushed her

"Oopps sorry?" she said, grinning sheepishly under me and i let out a laugh

"What is it?" i questioned her

"Stay?" she questioned and i smiled at the way her eyes twinkled when she asked me to stay

"Fine but don't blame me for anything stupid that i do" i muttered and she let out a laugh this time

"Fine" she replied

I pushed myself from the left and landed on the bed beside her

"Hi" i grinned at her and she mirrored my expression

"Hello to you too"

I stared at her shamelessly and faint tints of pink covered her face, even the dim lights could show she was blushing under my gaze

"Do i make you uncomfortable?" i questioned and she shook her head rather quickly

"Uhuh" i said inching closer to her body and she tried going back but i grabbed her by the waist

With one tug, her body clashed with mine and her eyes went wide

"Do i have an affect on you?" my breath fanned her face and she blushed furiously, i could feel her heartbeat against mine and it was furious!

"N-No" she muttered averting her eyes and i smirked

"Sure" I said, leaning into her

her breath hitched as i placed a kiss on her soft, warm cheeks

"Perfect tint" I whispered and she whimpered against me

Wrapping my arms around her, i cuddled her, my legs in a mesh with hers as i pulled the blanket over us

"Night Fluffy"

"Night Chihuahua"

I could not help but peck her lips before grinning at her and then closing my eyes

the warmth from her body heat and the blanket along with her scent was enough to drive me to the next level of insanity but before that occurred, i closed my mind and drifted into blankness of sleep
