Chapter Fifty Nine

Khushi followed Arnav as he led her through the boat to a private cabin. Her eyes landed on the bed, the biggest occupant of the room, beside the built in night stands on the wall, which faced the portholes, looking out to the sea.

Khushi heard the door click shut behind her and felt Arnav before he even touched her. His arms wrapped around her waist, his hands splayed on her stomach as he moved her against his chest.

"Mine," he whispered. "All mine. Now and forever, always."

"Always," Khushi breathed.

Arnav turned her to him and they gazed into each others eyes. Love bore in them, illuminated in them. Arnav cupped her cheek and Khushi moaned into his embrace. He brought his lips closer to hers and Khushi's eyes drifted shut as his lips met hers. The kiss was slow, very passionate. When the two pulled back, Khushi cupped his face in her hands. Arnav nuzzled into her embrace, kissing the palm of her hand. He then kissed her forehead, his lips lingering there for a while.

"My angel," he breathed.

Khushi smiled and looked up at him. "My future husband."

Arnav smiled. "My future wife."

Khushi took in a sharp breath. Hearing him say those words did something to her, made something within her bloom.

Arnav's hand wandered from her waist to the slit of her dress. He moved his hand through it and in the blink of an eye, Khushi had been leaned up against the wall with one leg around Arnav's waist.

"I like this," he commented on the slit.

"I love this dress. Thank you."

"You never have to thank me angel. What's mine is yours now, as well."

It only crossed Khushi's mind then that what he said was true.

"As much as I love this dress on you, I want to peel you out of it."

Arnav let go of her and turned her around. He reached for the dress around her thighs and began to pull it up. The material skimmed across Khushi's body, making her tremble with anticipation. Arnav removed the dress and draped it over a chair. His eyes wandered on her lace clad body. His hands skimmed over it, eliciting moans from Khushi's lips.

Arnav kissed her shoulder and nuzzled her neck. "So, so beautiful."

Khushi blushed with a smile.

"And all mine."

Khushi turned to him. "All yours."

She reached up and kissed him, while bringing her hands up to his chest. She helped him out of his tux and loosened his tie. Arnav tossed them onto the chair beside them, never letting go of her lips. Khushi tugged on his shirt, freeing it, and undid the buttons. It was tossed aside as well, and Khushi worked on Arnav's belt. However just as she undid it and undid his pants, Arnav whipped her around and pulled her lower half to him, his erections digging into her bum, Khushi leaning against the wall.

Arnav moved his hand lower and brought them in between her legs. He gasped. "Oh angel, you're dripping."

Khushi panted.

"You're all wet, future wife."

Khushi shuddered.

"All for me?"

Khushi nodded. "All for you, future husband," she panted.

Arnav smirked, and Khushi could feel his signature smirk. He hooked his thumbs into the waistband.

"Arnav-"

"I want to peel you out of these as well. Turn."

Khushi turned to face him, his thumbs still hooked in the waistband. He held her waist and began walking them towards the bed. Khushi laid back on the bed and Arnav slowly removed her panties, the lace skimming along her milky legs until he had taken them off, and then tossed it aside. Khushi remained in her corset and heels and she wondered when he'd take them off.

Arnav picked up her leg and placed kisses on her inner thigh. Khushi squirmed and shut her eyes. Arnav watched her writhe as he kissed her along her leg, moving closer to her foot, and then removed her heel, dropping it to the floor. He did the same with her other leg, then removed the shoe, dropping it.

Moving between her legs, he hovered over her. Khushi could see the love, the adoration, and the pride in his eyes. She caressed his cheek and kissed him softly. Arnav smiled softly and kissed her hand.

"Don't ever stop smiling, Arnav."

"I won't, just for you."

Khushi smiled and kissed him again. The two lost themselves in the other's embrace that night, lost in their love. Nothing else mattered, no one else mattered. All that mattered was each other and the love that they had for each other.

*~*

Khushi woke up and smiled, seeing Arnav gazing at her. He was slowly running his hand through her hair, caressing her.

"Good morning," she whispered.

"Good morning angel."

Khushi smiled.

"Did you sleep well?"

Khushi nodded. "Did you?"

Arnav nodded.

Khushi looked around the cabin. The sun was hinting through the portholes, which meant that it was morning. "Whose boat is this?"

"A Prince's."

"Oh? Fancy."

Arnav grinned. "Fancy indeed."

"Just like you fancy wine?"

Arnav remembered back to their first date and grinned. "Fancy," he mouthed.

Khushi giggled and Arnav smiled.

"Gosh, I love that sound."

Khushi blushed. "I know."

Arnav got up and kissed her. "Up you get angel."

"Mm, no!"

"Angel," he warned, though he was smiling.

Khushi pouted and shook her head. "Sleepy."

"Didn't you get enough sleep last night?"

Khushi blushed from the memories of the night before. She also remembered his proposal and lifted her hand to see the ring on her finger. It really wasn't a dream.

"Do you like it?"

Khushi nodded as she sat up. "I love it, Arnav, it's absolutely beautiful." She looked at the diamond encrusted loops. "It must've been expensive-"

"Hush, I don't want to hear any of that. What's mine is now yours as well."

"I don't think I'll ever get used to that."

Arnav kissed her forehead. "With time. Now come on, up you get angel."

Khushi groaned. "Do we have to?"

Arnav chuckled. "I brought a change of clothes so you can be more comfortable, as well as some sandals."

"Really? Oh, thank you."

"You're welcome angel. Now come on, up you get."

With a sigh, Khushi got up. She washed up first and then Arnav. Both got ready together, carefully folded their clothing and put it in a bag. They went out onto the deck and saw that they were heading towards land.

"Thank you for last night, Arnav. It was really magical."

Arnav smiled and gave her a kiss. "Anything for you angel."

They soon reached land and their driver was waiting for them to drive them back to the hotel. Sometime after they got back to their room, the hotel sent up a gift basket, congratulating them.

"They know?"

"I told them my plan."

"Is there anyone else who knew?"

"Di."

"She knew? Why didn't-?" Wait a minute, it all makes sense now! That's why she was being so odd when we video chatted! And that's why-! "Arnav..."

"Yes?"

"Were you worried that she was going to spoil your surprise that day?"

Arnav blinked. "I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about."

Khushi couldn't help but to laugh. "You were! You thought Di was going to tell me."

Arnav paused. "You called her Di."

"Well, that's what you call her," Khushi smiled softly, wrapping her arm around his. "She is going to be my sister in-law after all."

"That she is," Arnav smiled, and he kissed her forehead, causing Khushi to sigh.

Arnav's laptop began to chime and the two turned to see Anjali calling.

Khushi went towards it and took the call. The second Anjali saw her face, she shrieked with delight.

"Show me the ring, show me the ring, show me the ring!"

Khushi chuckled and held her left hand up, causing Anjali to shriek once more.

"Oh my gosh, eeep!!!!!!"

Arnav shut his eyes, pretty sure that his sister was going to make him go deaf.

"So how did it go? What did he do? Where did you guys go? What did you wear?"

Khushi couldn't hold back her chuckle, not just because of Anjali's excitement, but seeing Arnav's screwed up face due his sister's shrilling. She told Anjali all about it while going into the spare bedroom, saving Arnav's ears.

"Oh my gosh, this is so exciting! My Chote is engaged!!!"

Khushi smiled lightly.

"It's all because of you Khushi. Chote... I always wondered when love would come into his life and here you are now. Thank you, Khushi. Momma would've been so proud."

Khushi blushed slightly. "Thank you."

"No, thank you, Khushi. Honest."

Khushi looked down with a smile.

"Well, I have to spread the news!"

Khushi's eyes widened. "Please don't and please don't tell my brother yet."

"What, why?"

Khushi pursed her lips. "Just... please, I want to tell him."

Anjali nodded. "Okay, if that's what makes you happy." And then she shrieked. "I can't believe I'm finally going to have a sister," she sang.

There's Kalavati... but then again, you guys hate her. ...maybe now that I'm joining the family, I'll finally find out everything behind this hate.

"Anyways Khushi, it's late, so I'll let you guys go back to your celebrating! Bye love!"

"Bye Di."

Anjali smiled softly. "I always knew you were going to call me that someday."

With that, Anjali ended the call and Khushi smiled. 

She's right. In a way, she always did.

Khushi stood up, when an idea struck her mind. Would he... I hope so....

Khushi rejoined Arnav in the living room and gave the  MacBook back to him. "Arnav?"

"Yes angel?"

"What's our next stop from here? I mean, after we leave Dubai?"

"Well I did want to travel Europe, but based on some work emails I've been getting, it looks like that'll have to be delayed."

"So... does that mean we're going home?"

Arnav looked up at her with a soft smile. "I have no issues with cramped space," he winked.

Khushi chuckled lightly with a smile. "Good." She sat down beside Arnav and snuggled into him, watching him type away another business email.

"It'll be just you and me."

"I can't wait," she smiled. I really can't.
