|Innaya|

My heart dropped in my chest.

Was I being too absentminded today? Thinking about it, it was true.

Early in the afternoon, when I saw Eshan in the bedroom, I had frozen in the shock. Back in the garden, the same happened. Right now, it was happening again. Where was my self-control?

If my self-control could take a shape, I would have fed him bitter soups made with herbs and plants. Then I would have seen how could he lose control so easily.

Shaking my head to get rid of my stupid thoughts, I followed Eshan inside. That small brush of his hand appeared to be causal for he made no effort of touching me again.

What was happening? My mind was working in overdrive. As a result of it, I bumped into Eshan's back.

"Ahh!" I shrieked, rubbing the place on side of my forehead.

Eshan also turned in his feet. I did not see what he had been doing early, but now as he turned so noticed he had poured the tea in the glass kettle and left it on the induction.

Since when we had an induction in our bedroom? I frowned. All the different things had to happen today. Was I being that ignorant?

"Be careful, Tesoro. We wouldn't want you getting hurt now, would we?"

"Huh?" I raised my eyes when I heard him. Looking at the man whose face was covered in a faint yellow glow, I felt a strange feeling building in my heart.

His lips moved, but all I could think of the way how they moved against mine. So, I failed to listen to him.

Eshan's lips curled in a smirk. He slightly shook his head as if he was looking at something stupid.

Then again, I was the object of his vision, was I being stupid?

I scrunched my nose, thinking what was wrong with me? Was something wrong with the air in the room? Was it that rosemary smell? I glared resentfully at the incense stick.

"Haha..."

Eshan laughed, throwing his head back. Those white teeth flashed for a moment before my eyes went to those happy eyes of his. He was having fun.

Despite wanting to be, I could not get angry at him. That carefree laughter of his had some unknown effect on my heart. I wanted him to always have this kind of happiness.

Lately, I had seen how he was burdened with something or other. He would always have things burdening him. I hated that I could not share his worries. His offer was joining his office started being more and more appealing to me. That way, I could know if it was something related to his work.

"Oh, Innaya. You're too cute."

Eshan pinched my cheeks, looking at me with adoration.

Immediately I blushed, knowing too well that he knows exactly why I was being absent-minded.

My eyes widened when I thought of something that I had recently seen in the movie another day. This setting was too similar to one on that. It was not only me who had watched it, but Eshan was beside me as well. We spent a night cuddling and watching that romantic movie. The movie had drifted into a mature plot, and at the same point, the movie was forgotten as we ended up indulging ourselves in a rather passionate make-out session.

I blushed to recall those soulful kisses of his. After a bit of difficulty, I regained my slightly astray thoughts and then thought about the particular scene and the theme from that movie.

Seduction.

Was Eshan trying to seduce me?

'Ah!' Mortified my eyes snapped to the decoration of the room. Objectively most of the things were inspired by it.

Biting my lip I turned my gaze to the man standing inches away from me... He had been watching me. From how long? My cheeks were still pinched in his.

His fingers left my cheek and moved to the work of freeing my abused lower lips from the imposing teeth. I could smell the faint taste of the blood. My teeth had scr.a.p.ed the delicate skin and caused it to slightly bleed. The kiss we had shared in the afternoon had already quite worn them out. They had swollen a little, but it had reduced by the night.

Eshan pressed the corner of my lip. It must be that place where I hurt myself.

"Sweetheart, why must you make it difficult for this poor husband of yours? Have I made you upset in any way?"

I nearly went mad with frustration. He had the nerve to complain. He was making it difficult for me, and he was accusing me. Wow! Just wow!

Puffing my cheek, I moved out of his reach. I could not handle him. Going around the bed, I chose the left side and went under the covers. I better sleep in order to preserve my own sanity.

This amount of stimulation was not good for my poor heart. Who knew, just who the hell you knew Eshan could turn out into someone like this? The man held the capability of sending my heart into overdrive even without lifting his fingers.

Seemed like, he had started to awaken that side of me who wanted to explore the secrets of intimacy between a couple. Either he had done his research or he was naturally very good at it. In either way, it was dangerous for my heart.

I wondered if someday, I would be the one to make a move instead of him. My own curiosity made me afraid. He lost his control today. I had brazenly explored his countenance when he was asleep.

That too when I wasn't in love with him.

Things were different now. I loved him. If I could take a step at that time, then who could grantee that my hands would not wander without my command?

I needed to keep my curiosity in control.
