Her Replaced Husband ✓

¶chapter thirty one¶

Once again his lips were very calculated and purposeful against her. His kiss was unhurried, focused, and luscious. But the tenderness and comfort she was finding from it was above all thoughts right now. He was making her feel special even without that particular emotion.

Ajwa curled her fingers into his shirt's buttons as he continued exploring her mouth with absolute care and attention. She groaned at the amazing sensation. She never felt it before. Such protection and relief were provided by this act that it caused the tears that she was holding back hardly overcame the fences of her eyelids. They fell on her cheeks and while kissing, Faris felt them. He pulled away from her and gave her a detailed look.

The tears were making her pink cheeks glow in the moonlight while her eyes twinkled like two crystals in the faint darkness. Her lips were swollen from their recent kiss. Faris realized she had always tried to appear unbreakable and not react to anything. Whenever she got an urge to cry, she used to swallow it back. He wanted her to lash out all her emotions which she had been hiding in her heart all at once.

He wiped her tears with the pads of his fingers and placed his palm on her right cheek. "I am your other half, sunshine. I am your husband and someone whom you can trust with anything. Don't try to hide your emotions in front of me. Be yourself with me. And I will do the same with you."

Ajwa had always attempted to become strong and tough for the sake of her mother and sister. She also got wounds from her father's both emotional and physical hits but she always managed to bandage them by herself. At first, it hurt so much. But as time passed, she begin to overcome it by not thinking about it. But making herself tough and unresponsive.

But that statement of hiding emotion said by Faris made her forget everything else and look at him in remorse. He could never understand those emotions since he could never feel them for himself. If he would have, then must have already known that she loved him. However, she didn't want to think of anything miserable right now. His lips were making her feel so much that she didn't wish to start a bogus argument at which again logic would win against emotions. The balm of his lips was so soothing and it was definitely an upper hand than indulging in any debate.

She tiptoed and merely reached his chin. Lifting her head, she slightly brushed her lips against it. Faris was startled and confused.

But seeing the assertion in her eyes, it didn't take him more than a few seconds to comprehend what she wanted. He plopped his hands on both sides of her neck and bent down to capture her lips again. This time she found the intensity increased and more passionate than before. The way his broad palms covered more than half of her skin made her gasp. Faris slowly brushed her throat which provided him entry inside her mouth again. She tasted wonderful every time. He had to agree on it.

He was kissing her with so haste and devotion that it made her flutter open her eyes in confusion. Faris had been very gentle in the two times they locked lips before. He never gave any room to retreat and it made her breathless.

He finally left her mouth which felt like ages. Ajwa exhale a deep breath which she believed she had been holding inside her lungs for quite a long time. But this was very quick as he lifted her in his arms in bridal style by keeping one hand under her knees and one under her back. His demanding lips were back on hers then. She closed her eyes to just feel him around her, his touch on her skin and his familiar scent near her nostrils.

Ajwa didn't acknowledge anything else before she felt the soft fabric of the bed sheet under her body. This made her aware of her surroundings and she looked back. She was laying straight in the bed. Faris was hovering above her with his fist dipped on the mattress around her arm and the other one cupping her jaw.
