With a thudding heart, I slowly let go of my arms around Eshan's neck. Holding his intense gaze, I took his face in my hands, caressing his cheeks with my fingers.

Eshan turned his face and kissed the insides of my palm. His hand reached out and held mine over his right cheek. ”Thank you!” he whispered as the unsaid understanding settled between us.

Eshan did not rush, though. He took his own sweet time as his hands reached to the hem of my top. With his fingertips slowly caressing the skin, like a dragonfly skimming over the water, he lifted the shirt. Co-operating with him, I let him pull it from over my head, leaving me in my cotton pink non-padded and non-wire bra. It was quite comfortable to wear as no tight straps were digging in my skin or a clasp pricking my back.

I really liked the brand. The cotton fabric gave a comfortable feeling after wearing it. I realized that there was something wrong when Eshan started chuckling and his gaze lingered on my chest.

(> _ _ _ _ <)

”What's funny?” I asked, crossing my arms across my chest. Did he have to laugh at the time like this, when he was the one to look at me like I was his favorite chocolate which he could not wait to unwrap? Now after unwrapping the half of the cover, he was laughing as if he wanted a KitKat and got plain Cadbury.

Ah!!! What the hell was I thinking? Cadbury? Kitkat? Seriously? Could I not get any other comparison?

”My kitten seems to love kittens,” Eshan said, as his eyes held amus.e.m.e.nt.

”Huh? Kitten? Move away. I don't want to talk to you.” I started pushing at his chest, forgetting that once my hands moved away, there was the object of Eshan's amus.e.m.e.nt, which had him chuckling. Though I did not understand what it was.

'Stupid man. Unpredictable fool. Huh!'

”Why are you so adorable?” Eshan leaned down and placed a chaste kiss on my lips despite me being busy with pushing him away to which he did not budge a little.

Eshan then slowly climbed over my body, trapping me with his whole body. His knees dug in the mattress on my both sides as he straddled my waist. His movement made our lower halves brush, and I instantly turned red with the firm poking I felt against my bare stomach. All my thoughts about pushing him off and getting mad at his chuckles died down at that instant, leaving me in a state of shock.

That's human nature when we experience something surprising or new for the first time, our body's first reaction is to be still, guarding against the unknown.

”Afraid?” Eshan asked. His hand moved and caressed my lower jaw with his thumb, applying a little pressure to my chin and forcing me to look in his eyes. My eyelashes fluttered, and I did not know where to look.
