The Replacement (#royals Book 1) by Shikha A (books to read as a couple .txt) 📕

SHIPRA POV

He closed his eyes and came towards me and touched my back. His one-touch made my whole body on fire. I started feeling so hot like I have a fever of 104.

He slowly lifted my top till it reaches my bra line, He took some ointment and finally his finger touch my skin and I visibly shivered and become stiff and I know he felt it,

He started massaging my back and came near to my ear and whispered "relax Rani Sa".

Hearing this my body suddenly relaxed, as if my body understood what he just said. Like really?

And dude then he started doing magic on my back, and I die if I lie it was the best massage I have ever got. Slowly his fingers worked on my back and pain went like never before.

While I was enjoying my magical massage he again whispers in my ear, "I can see you are enjoying Rani sa but let me go a little up or down so I will also enjoy it with you".

Hearing this I almost got a heart attack and jerked up and sat on the bed. And I was blessed by the best sound of my life.

His Laughter.

Yes, he was laughing, and oh my god how beautiful he looked while laughing.

I just kept on looking at him while he was just laughing like a kid and I could see tears in his eyes.

And somehow I also got tears in my eyes, I want to capture this moment in my mind and my heart so badly.

After some time he looked at me and said, "I was just teasing you Rani Sa but your reaction was worth it" saying he again started laughing.

I said nothing, I just kept on looking at his face.

I went to him and cleared his tears from my thumb and said, "Hukum you look beautiful when you laugh. Do laugh more often".

Hearing me he raised his eyebrows and said,  Beautiful? Really Rani Sa?

"Ok, fine handsome happy?"

"I love the smile on your face so do smile as much as possible or else you will get aged soon you know that? Scientists say people who smile often live more and they look young as well.

So I’ll look young and you will look like an uncle. Do you want to look like uncle hmmm?" I ask him while a teasing manner.

Hearing me he held me from my waist and said "I don’t mind how I look till you don’t mind but if you want me to smile I try my best to do that for you." saying he kissed on my temple.

"You know Rani Sa you are the fourth person in my life who has seen me smiling and first who has seen me laugh." He spoke looking at me lovingly.

Hearing him I laughed and said, "oh please stop lying."

But he kept on looking and me like he is not lying so I said, "Really?"

Which he nodded yes.

"So who are the other three?" I asked.

"Dada Hukum, Daijan And my Best Friend Karan". He replied.

I nodded and said, "then, I am glad that I got the honor to get to see your laugh and somewhere the reason behind it too." I said looking at him smiling.

He kissed my forehead and said, "I am glad too."

I looked at him and said, "now come on go freshen up you must be hungry, by then I set the table. I have already ordered the food. I just have to call Samir bhai to send me food here." Saying look at myself in the mirror.

He smiled and kissed my forehead and went towards the washroom and I went out to call Samir bhai to leave the parcel at the door, Meanwhile, I went to freshen up in another room.

I went towards the door and picked up the parcel but suddenly I felt the presence of someone so I looked to my left and right but no one was there.

This floor is exclusively allocated to hukum so how can someone be here anyways. With that thought, I shook my head and went inside to set the table up.

After some time Hukum came and we started eating the food. Once we're done eating, I serve Ras Malai ( Indian Sweet Dish) on his plate and Gulab Jamun ( Indian Sweet dish ) on my plate.

He was looking at me surprisingly and asked how come you know this is my favorite?

I smirked and said "Sir I know more than this about you" and winked at him.

He held my hand and in one jerk I was on his lap.

And whisper in my ear, "would love to know what else you know about me Rani Sa,"

I again felt Goosebumps on my body but I composed myself and said, "you will Hukum when the right time comes" and smirk.

"Now let’s eat" saying I try (please note try) to get up but he tightens his hold on me and kept at the same place and said,

"Eat who is saying no to you?"

 I roll my eyes and took my bowl from my side and I was about to eat but he holds my hand and asked,  "Why do you order only one?"

I looked up and said, "because you don’t know me yet, I am capable of eating ten as well, I have no control over me when I see them so I asked them to only send one." I said poting my lips a little.

"And what if I eat this?" He asked raising his eyebrows.

And my eyes come out like a socket, (in my mind NO NO NO he can’t do this. Or can he?) I think we need to talk about what I said.

"Ahem, Hukum, let's be clear on one thing here itself. I am not going to share my food no matter what," and give him an angry expression.

I mean come on why would he want my food? He is rich. I am sure he can order as much as he wants. This is mine, and I can’t let him keep his eye on my food. No way. Not this at least.

He smirked and said, "I want to eat Gulab Jamun today."

And my face fell. I pouted and said "ok eat" Saying I kept the Gulab Jamun bowl in front of him.
