Her Second-Hand Husband!

Anika’s PoV

I don't know what made him shut off all of a sudden and retire to sleep. I mean he was all ready to make love to me and suddenly he went off just like a flick of a switch. Though I don't understand, I had no other choice than to comply with his decision of sleeping on our first night.

His nearness, his breath, his hands on my waist, his hard chest, that friction we had when we hugged each other, everything triggered something in me which I have not experienced so far in my life. I was waiting for a hot, steamy love making and here he slept all peacefully. I turned to his side and looked at the rhythmic ups and downs of his chest that tells me he is fast asleep. He is an idiot, how can he sleep when I am this close to him? He said he likes me, but is he not attracted to me the way I am attracted to him? I couldn't sleep, not even close my eyes.

The burning desire to make love to him kept me wide awake. But I felt it so wrong to approach him for sex. What if he think all bad of me? He already does and this will only make it worse. Maybe he is giving me time to understand him better before getting intimate! But I feel otherwise, if we explore each other in love making, we will be more comfortable to share about ourselves to each other and in turn it will make the process of understanding much easier. That is why this practice of consummating the wedding on the wedding night has been here ever since our culture started.

He is holding his inner self from me, I don't know why I feel like it but I do. He is trying hard not to show his feelings. That will only make it hard for me to understand him. I closed my eyes to find sleep with so many disturbing thoughts but the majority of them being his hands on my waist.

The following week passed by travelling to my parents place and relatives homes and temples. And the distance between us grew on the bed. He spoke to me for necessity and I saw him talk very little to everyone. I knew that he is not a fan of talking which is the exact opposite of me. The wedding commotion at last settled down and we were left alone to start our life.

It is Monday today and I woke up at 5AM as usual. This house is still alien to me as we were roaming the past week here and there. I have not even had a proper house tour. Since the wedding excitement all died down, all the relatives that were staying in the house went by yesterday. I went on doing my Yoga and refreshed myself. When I came in after a bath I saw him lying on the bed with his phone in his hand.

Oh, he is a delicious man! His hard abs and chest shows that he never misses to hit the gym. He is wearing a sleeveless shirt that makes me drool on his biceps and triceps. His clean cut fingernails shows that he is a very disciplined man.

“Good morning, Anika.” He said as soon as he saw me. I stopped drooling over him.

“Good morning, Arjun. Sorry, did I take up too much time?” I asked him awkwardly.

“No, It is just 7AM. I have to be ready by 9, so I still have time. Don't worry.” He said while coming to me. I could not stop that tingling sensation in my stomach as he advanced towards me.

“Are you not going to move from the door?” He asked, tugging a loose strand of hair behind my ears with his finger. That little touch ignited fire in me and I wanted more. I closed my eyes and leaned in to him.

“I have to refresh, Anika.” He said that broke my trance.

“Uh, Sorry.” I told him and made way for him.

Why is he doing this to me? I told him that I love him, what else is stopping him from claiming me? I can't wait anymore. I must talk to him today. As I was drying my hair, he came out of the restroom and walked past me. I ran behind him.

“Arjun, do you really have to go to the office today?” I asked him still running.

“Yes, Anika. I have to resume my work today.” He said and entered a room. I went behind him and was awestruck. It is a gym with all the strength training equipments.

“You can use this gym. Or you can use our garden to do your Yoga.” he said. How did he know that I do Yoga?

“Don't let your eyes pop out. I saw you doing Yoga in the morning. Use the garden. Doing it in the fresh air yields more results.” He said looking at me with a little smile.
