Chapter Seventy Three

Khushi's eyes fluttered open and she smiled. Arnav was laying down beside her, gazing at her with a soft smile.

"What," Khushi said softly.

Arnav shook his head. "Nothing, just..." He caressed her cheek and sighed. "My angel."

Khushi smiled and taking hold of his hand, she placed a kiss on his palm. "My jaan. "

Arnav smiled and moved over her, holding her in his arms. Khushi lazily wrapped her arms around him and placed a hand in his hair, toying with it.

"How are you feeling," Arnav muttered into her neck.

"Mm... sore."

Khushi felt him smile against her. Arnav moved down, placing soft kisses before taking her nipple in his mouth. Khushi moaned softly and tugged on his hair, pulling him up.

"You're insatiable," she grinned.

"Well you're divine," and he sealed her lips with his.

"Mm...." Khushi pulled back. "More like hungry," she pouted. 

Arnac chuckled, pulling back and taking Khushi up with him. "Okay angel. First we'll eat and then I get to ravish in you again."

Khushi giggled as Arnav picked her up into his arms. He took he downstairs and into the kitchen. Like the rest of the house, the wooden theme continued, the steely appliance giving it an edge. 

Khushi noticed the time on the oven and her eyes widened. "It's 2 PM already!"

"Huh... I guess so," Arnav shrugged as he placed Khushi on the counter. 

Feeling the cold white marble on her naked body stung, but it was also very much appreciated, soothing her tender flesh. Khushi watched as Arnav went over to the fridge and looked through it. 

"Is there food in the fridge or did you leave that empty too," Khushi teased. 

Arnav frowned at her but his smile was evident. Khushi grinned from end to end and Arnav turned back to see the fridge's contents. 

"I'm surprised you let me sleep in so late."

"Well given that I didn't let you sleep till 5..."

Khushi's cheeks crimsoned. 

"I thought I should let you sleep in."

"But for so long," she said softly. 

Arnav looked back at her and Khushi could see the desire in his eyes. He wanted her and she knew that for the entirety of their trip, he would crave her this way.

"Feed me," she pouted, teasingly.

Arnav rolled his eyes and turned back to the fridge. "I would if there was something I could feed you."

From her view, Khushi could see that the fridge was completely stocked. She got off the counter and joined Arnav's side. There were several things in the fridge, perfect for different recipes. Knowing Arnav, of course he thought there was nothing to really eat.

Grabbing a few things, Khushi set out what she needed on the counter. Arnav watched her in confusion as she placed several ingredients on the counter and looked through the different cabinets.

"What are you doing," he asked.

"Feeding you," she replied, having everything she needed.

"Its my job to feed you," he frowned.

"You can't feed me if you can't cook something up," Khushi teased, cutting and preparing the produce. "Wanna help?"

Arnv sat down on one of the bar stools around the island and placed his chin on his hand. "I think I'll watch."

"Hmm....."

She could see the amusement twinkling in his eyes, along with his desire. Khushi looked down at herself - bare naked with a knife in hand. It made her chuckle, but if it was a show Arnav wanted, then it was a show he would get.

Khushi got right down to work and prepared lunch. Not once did Arnav remove his eyes off of her and Khushi loved it. She could see that he was impressed and she felt really good of herself. Being here alone with just Arnav, with no one to bother, felt really good. Even if they were staying in her apartment, there were still distractions from everyone else around. Here, she could peacefully cook her and Arnav a meal and be in peace. No disruptions - nothing.

"So what exactly is this," Arnav asked as she set their plates.

"It's spicy pan-friend chicken with a honey glaze, corn on the cob, with a tomato salad."

Khushi set his plate and cutlery in front of him. "It looks really good," he said as she sat down beside him.

"I hope it tastes as good as it looks. Try it."

"Angel it's not the first time I'm eating food you have made. I know it will be."

Arnav took his knife and fork and dug in. He moaned in appreciation, shutting his eyes. "Maybe I should give Etta some days off from the kitchen."

Khushi chuckled. "I'm sure she'd get mad about that; she loves your kitchen."

"We'll negotiate. Now then, let me feed you."

The two enjoyed their lunch together, chatting away and feeding each other. Once lunch was complete, Arnav was ready to ravish in her. However, Khushi wanted to make things a little difficult for him and told him to wash the dishes first since she had cooked them a meal. Arnav found it ridiculous and felt like he was 4, but Khushi remained stern (with a smile, of course) and waited for Arnav to finish cleaning the dishes.

As soon as he had, Arnav hauled Khushi right over his shoulder and spanked her. "Bad angel."

"Well if you want me to feed you again, you will clean the dishes."

Hard as she had tried to sound stern, she couldn't help herself but to grin.

Arnav grumbled and entered their room. He tossed her down onto the bed, Khushi grinning up at him as he crawled over her.

Khushi traced her finger along the side of his face. "I know that you want to indulge yourself in me, but unfortunately for you, you can't."

Arnav cocked his eyebrow. "You really wanna challenge me?"

"No, I know I'll lose. My pills however..."

Arnav's eyebrows shot up.

"...would say different," she smirked.

Arnav looked at her for a moment and then began to chuckle. Khushi was confused, not understanding how this was funny.

"What, you packed condoms instead of clothes," she tried to tease, although she sounded more curious.

He only chuckled and got up. He headed to the closet and got his jacket that he was wearing the day before. From his pocket, he retrieved Khushi's pills, surprising Khushi as he came back to her.

"You took my pills?" She was truly shocked.

"Well I didn't really felt like wearing condoms and like I said angel - no disruptions."

Khushi couldn't believe it and although she tried to frown, she was too humored.

Arnav got her a glass of water and Khushi took her pill. As soon as she placed the glass down, Arnav tackled her down, causing Khushi to erupt in laughter.

He truly was not going to let her go.
