Keerthi felt a hand under her chin,coaxing her to look up ,as she met with warm brown eyes,in their darkest shade.

Her eyes went to Vikram's lips,wetting her own involuntarily,when she felt Vikram's hold tighten.

She blushed,looking down,her face felt on fire. Vikram pulled her chin up, forcing her to look at him.

"Keerthi", Vikram started gruffly,his voice laced with desire, their lips merely brushing, teasing one another,"We should go to sleep now if you don't want it to continue any further."

Keerthi's face flamed at her husband's insinuation.

But dammit,she wanted to be kissed.

For the first time ever.

But that's it,she didn't want to progress any further. She wasn't ready,not yet.

She shyly looked down,hoping her husband took the hint and kissed her,as she didn't move away.

Vikram observed his wife's face, wondering why she was being so responsive and co-operative.

He didn't want to spoil it though.

Vikram leaned in,his lips gently pressed against another warm pair,as their lips moved in sync. Keerthi panicked, finding the action foreign,when she felt Vikram suck on her lower lip, taking it in between both of his,biting it gently.

Keerthi followed his steps innocently,as she pressed against his lips,not leaving space between them. Keerthi felt light headed when she felt Vikram's tongue graze against her mouth,in between her lips, prodding her to part them.

Vikram invaded his wife's mouth,as she shyly let him in,her arms going around his neck, pulling him lower,to her height. Their tongues molded against each other,smooth as silk.

Keerthi let out an unknown sound, strangely sounding like a moan when she felt Vikram's tongue on the inside of her cheek. Their mouths made love to each other for a few more seconds,when Vikram pulled away, leaning his forehead against his wife's.

Keerthi had her eyes shut when Vikram stopped kissing her,taking deep breaths. She opened her eyes,taking deep breaths,looking down,as she clutched onto his shirt,too shy to make eye contact.

What a kiss that was, Keerthi thought.

She gasped when Vikram pulled her face up,not giving her enough time to react as he meshed their lips together again.

Vikram angled his wife's face,one hand on her neck and the other on her waist, holding her close as he explored her mouth,for the second time that day. He wasn't having enough. He brushed his tongue over her inner lip,biting it, moving onto the floor of her mouth,as he kissed her hard.

Vikram pulled away,looking down when his wife shyly looked up. He leaned in , maintaining eye contact as he placed a kiss on the corner of her mouth,flicking the edge with his tongue,their eyes open all the time.

Keerthi blushed at her husband's gesture.

Vikram took in his wife's appearance,her eyes casted downwards,cheeks hued crimson and lips turned upwards, smiling at the ground. His eyes went lower,her neck a slight pinkish shade. His eyes focussed,when he saw a mole below her clavicle,just above her cleavage. Keerthi's cleavage was teasing Vikram, slightly peeking from where her shirt was disturbed. Vikram gazed at her cleavage, tempted to run a finger there,and inside it.

He pulled his wife closer,the hand on her waist going inside her top,from behind,as he teased the soft skin over her waist line, rubbing circles on it,and his face buried in his neck kissing her neck, going downwards.

Keerthi stiffened when she felt her husband's warm hands on her bare skin, feeling ticklish.

She let out a moan,her hand automatically clutching onto his hair,when his hand dipped into her shirt.

Vikram pulled away from his wife,carrying her bridal style as he made way towards the bed.

He placed her gently on the bed, hovering over Keerthi's frame.

Keerthi was scared,she wanted to,but didn't want to go further.

Vikram gave his wife a brief glance,her eyes shut and chest heaving.

He continued his ministrations,as he hovered over her ,placing a kiss on Keerthi's neck, progressing downwards,to her collar bone,as he gently sucked on the flesh, while his hand went inside her shirt.

It was only when Keerthi felt Vikram's hand at the bottom of her bra that she made a decision.

"Vik..Vikram", Keerthi called.

"Hmm", Vikram hummed,busy kissing the spot below her collar bone, approaching her mole.

Keerthi placed her hands on Vikram's shoulders, distancing their frames.

"Can we..Can we take it slow?", Keerthi spoke quietly.

She didn't want to seem selfish, luring him into false pretenses that she was ready and not doing it later. It was better if they got clear now. But she didn't want to hurt Vikram though.

Vikram stared at his wife. In his mind,he knew they wouldn't have made love today. Granted,he wanted to. But he was glad his wife asked him to stop. He would give her time. He didn't have a problem.He was surprised she even let him have his way for so long.

"Okay",Vikram got up, pulling her shirt down as he moved away,lying on his side of the bed.

Keerthi shifted to her husband's side,turning towards him as she held his hand.

"Are..Are you angry with me?",she asked quietly, looking at the topmost button on Vikram's shirt.

She somehow found it important to know if he was mad at her.

Vikram smiled at his wife. He placed an arm around her,signalling her to come closer.

Keerthi blushed, shuffling to her husband's side,as she felt his hand around her waist.

"No. I am not",Vikram said, drinking in his wife's features,"Infact,I am glad you asked me to stop."

Keerthi frowned. Did that mean he didn't want to be with her?

"Glad?", Keerthi asked, looking up at her husband,his face inched away from hers.

The couple liked the newfound intimacy as they gazed at each other.

"Yes. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable with me Keerthi",Vikram sighed lying down straight,with one arm around his wife,pulling her closer and the other under his head.

"Okay", Keerthi said shyly, respect for her husband doubling at the moment.

She took a deep breath, finding courage as she shifted closer to her husband,turning towards him,shyly draping an arm around him.

Vikram glanced at his wife, brushing a kiss on her hair.
