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

SHIPRA POV

We broke the kiss to breathe. He touched his forehead with mine, we both were panting hard and I was getting my sense back slowly.

Oh, god what did I do? Did I kiss a man? And that too before marriage, yes I have some principals in my life, call me old school I don’t care.” 

And my mind mocked 'not any man, your husband.' and for the first time, my mind's mocking gave me some peace of mind. 

Taking a deep breath I looked up to see his face and he was already looking at me.

"You have no idea what your swollen lips are doing to me Rani Sa.” Saying that he closed his eyes, I know he is controlling himself.

I wanted to say the same but I kept mum and looked down.

"You know I thought I would survive with this for fourteen days but your lips are addicted and I have got the addiction already." Saying this he smashed his lips with mine and this time I instantly repeated his actions.

I kept my hands on his chest and I could feel his running heartbeats and it was matching with mine. 

God, I don’t know about mine but his lips are addictive and I want to kiss him like this forever.

But then I remembered about his flight so I broke and kissed and again struggled for my breath. 

"Hukum you might get late for the flight. I think we should leave." I said looking down, I can’t face him now. 

He took a deep breath and hugged me and nuzzled my hair. 

'Thank god I washed my hair and it smelled good.' I thought

'Is this a time to think about this?' My mind mocks and I roll my eyes internally and hug him back.

God, it feels so good to be in his arms. Secure and loved. I want to stay like this for eternity but I know it’s not possible. I tightened my hold on him and said "I am going to miss you a lot Shivay" And nuzzled in his chest more.

“I am going to miss you too” I hear this in an extremely low voice. If I was not concentrating I would’ve missed it.

We stayed there like this for some time and broke the hug he looked at me and sadness was visible in our eyes.

He again took a deep breath and said “Let’s go let me drop you home first.”

I was about to be opposed but stopped hearing “No, I told you sister I will drop you home safely.” And I know now I don’t have to say anything as he won’t listen so I nod in agreement.

He took his phone from the table and I took my bag and started walking towards the lift.

I was avoiding his eye contact so I was looking everywhere then him.

We reached to lift and got inside. I looked up to see his face and saw his clenched jaw and fisted knuckles. 

Now, why is he angry?

Is he regretting the Kiss? No-No I don’t think so, I know he liked it and I love it. 

Let’s just keep quiet Shipra, you don’t want to annoy him more than he already is.

We started walking out and again everyone was looking at us but my one look was enough to tell them what to do. And they went back to their work. 

Our car was waiting for us with our driver, but before the driver opened the door he stopped him showing him his palm, and opened the passenger door for me, I looked at him to ask why I was sitting there, but did not ask anything and sat there.

He said something to the bodyguard and took their key and sat on the driver seat. 

Giving me a small look and he started coming close to me, his breath was fanning on my neck and my heartbeat was rising again. Taking the seat belt he fastened it and went back to his position and I took a breath of relief.

We both were quiet, he was driving and I was looking outside, somehow I was bored so I thought to break the silence and said, "Hukum I forgot to tell you, that I have to go to Paris after a week of our marriage."

And I facepalm myself internally. God this is the only topic I got to talk about.

"Hmmm," He hummed but said nothing. So I thought to change the subject and asked,

"Hukum do you remember it's Dada Hukum’s birthday Day after our wedding?" I asked with excitement. 

He again nodded in agreement.

God why he is not saying anything now I am craving to hear his voice. But then I thought he was not in the mood to talk. Let's leave this topic here only and stay mum.

We reached my place in 15 minutes. Security opened the gate to see our car. 

He stopped the car near the parking area. 

I turned to his side to bid goodbye and smiled at him and said “So this is it, till we meet again.” I giggled at my words. 

Finally, he smiled like a real smile and said “Till me, we meet again.” Holding my hand he kissed the back of my hand.

I took his hand and reaped the same gesture and went close to him and hugged him. 

My action caught him off guard but he hugged me back.

“I am going to miss you badly Rani Sa.” He mummer.

“And I am going to miss you 2-3-4.” Saying that I broke the hug, smiling. I am trying to cheer him up a little.

He shakes his head and says "Now go before I change my decision and take you along with me right now itself."

Hearing this I secure myself out fast and close the door as fast as I can. I could see inside the car he was laughing. 

And looked beautiful. 

Smiling, I ran inside the house and hearing the car sound guessed the car left the house.
