Maya Anjalou may she rest in peace.

It is amazing what one life can accomplish.  I am in awe.

Phenomenal Woman
BY MAYA ANGELOU
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It’s the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can’t touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can’t see.
I say,
It’s in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
Now you understand
Just why my head’s not bowed.
I don’t shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing,
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It’s in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need for my care.
’Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman

sick

It is funny I haven't been sick in years.  

Sure aches and pains but a cold...no way.  So I look within to ask my body what it is trying to tell me? Is my head and my thoughts congesting me?  What is it that is burning inside of me that I must speak about...is that why my fiery sore throat? 


Interesting.


I am paying attention.  Thank you.

Memorial Day

There is a day here in America where we celebrate all the men and women who have given their lives to fight for our freedom.

I won't go into its history but it is very interesting and worth the read.  http://www.usmemorialday.org/   
I don't believe in war but I must say these people are worthy of honor and praise.  Many were young when they served, very young, not even in the prime of their lives and they served with dignity and bravery.  

Some wanted to go while others were drafted but I am sure that everyday they fought they thought about their families.  

They thought and prayed for their bliss!

May they be blessed, as well as the families they left behind.  

Thank you is a word that will never be enough for what you did to give us our freedom.

Frustrated and Engaged

Frustrated and Engaged
by cinthiann1758
What do you do when the love of your life becomes engaged? There should be happiness beyond belief. The union of your two souls finally occur and the happiness that you so yearned for should be complete.
But not so.
Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon?
When you are mesmerized by her beauty at a softly lit poolside, a mesmerizing pull towards her, an absolute moment of total forgetfulness of who and what you are.
Because she is there and you want her with your whole being. Your attempt at finally kissing those luscious but innocent lips has been interrupted by a reality check.
Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon?
When reality has you seething because you have become weak; you have let the walls of your stoned heart crumble for a moment's weakness and now you have become so frustrated, that you purposely want to hurt her for letting your guard down and so...
you fix your engagement to another...
And she weeps.
Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon?
When she has been coerced for the sake of her ill father to become engaged to another....
one she doesn't love.
Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon?
When frustration and anger are normal emotions you feel everyday, because of your past, but now they have a reason to exist for it is in this present moment that you have found out that she too has become engaged.
Her wedding is fixed...and not to you.
Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon?
When frustration, jealousy, and anger are triumphing over love...
or will it? Can it?


We Blasters saw a ritual take place, unknowingly, at the auspicious moment;

 a bandage wrapped around her left ring finger whose vein goes directly to the heart.
The Blasters have figured this out:
We see an engagement ring that has been bought by Shyam, paid for by his wife, placed on Kushi's right ring finger without him even touching it.
We see this ring, bought by money given to Anjali by Arnav, lost and then found by Arnav, unknowing it is Kushi's engagement ring.
We see the same ring, dropped in milk (purification) and then placed half way on her finger by Arnav and completed by Anjali to join the two together......unknowingly.
We see him seethe....he finds out she is engaged to another.  But is she really?
We will see Devi Maiyya's plans unfold.
Is Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?

Come and see, then you name it.

by cinthiann1758
Three years ago I happened upon a Hindi movie which lead me to Star Plus which then lead me to the amazing
Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?
Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, I ask. 
What is it about this show that pulls us in? It gathers us together, it makes us want more and it mesmerizes us like the pull between Arnav and Kushi. We have weeped together, laughed together, screamed together and have celebrated their love together with bohat kushi. We have both loved and hated the characters. From the first fall into his arms at Sheesh Mahal to the end scene of Arnav carrying Kushi into their home after their wedding, we have remained faithful. Two families brought together by a past. Fate call it. I call it the Divine and what the Divine wants the Divine gets. The story shows Arnav, a complex man who has so much pain from his past and it takes a simple solution of a middle class zany girl named Kushi to heal him. We also see a sister's love, a villain, disguised as a loving husband, a friend and son-in law and two wonderful families with deep hurts, secrets and a Fate that will intertwine them in ways we just can't believe.
This show had love, hate and deception all in one.
We will never see this kind of passion and attraction in any other serial with any other stars; brilliantly done by all involved!
We all hope for Season 2 but know that won't happen'..
but we can still wish upon those stars.
HAPPY 3rd ANNIVERSARY IPKKND!!!!!


Love this edit! Thanks IssK!

The Soulful Woman






SURRENDERING to how things are in my life rather than always trying to make it how I think it should be, is a practice of Courage, HUMILITY and Healing.

My surrender is not an act of defeat but rather a conscious embrace of my Divine ESSENCE which has its own timing, WISDOM and guidance. Even when the mainstream may be saying I need to be in a different place or taking a different direction.

As I turn towards and fully engage with ‘what is’ in my life I open to the sacred healing, joy and grace of a path that is UNIQUELY mine. HONOURING this path ultimately awakens and enlivens me and takes me to where I need to be next.

Artist: Alice Mason

https://www.facebook.com/thesoulfulwoman


I just love this! I AM a soulful woman! I use to be one who did what I was suppose to do and conformed to society but not anymore. I have done all that was expected, all that I wanted...married, children, somewhat career but I am done now. I live for my bliss, following the path of my heart. I am happier. I wish for all young women to learn this lesson earlier than I did and I will quote the wise woman above, "As I turn towards and fully engage with ‘what is’ in my life I open to the sacred healing, joy and grace of a path that is UNIQUELY mine. HONOURING this path ultimately awakens and enlivens me and takes me to where I need to be next".


Have a blissful day!

Sisters a Gift from God



Jesus said to his disciples:
“This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.
No one has greater love than this,
to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Friends, I have a few.... remember that song, My Way by Frank Sinatra, my father loved it.  But I am not talking about friends but sisters.  The type of friend that becomes your sister...not related by blood but by the bonds of the heart and even soul.  The type of friend who you meet and know, she is my sister.  You just connect, a Divine connection...a gift from God to each other.

Yes, I HAVE SISTERS; related by blood which includes cousins, related by Church and volunteering,  related as lightworkers, related by same interests and maybe a TV show, related from the past, present and future, related through business, related through Facebook... I can go on and on.
These sisters in my life mean the world to me.  When one is in trouble we all pool together.  Like the scripture teaches us to put one first, to lay down your life...put aside the busy-ness, stop and drop everything in an instant...for your friend and sister.  We share the love of the Messiah through bonds so strong that nothing can penetrate or destroy it.  We stop, drop and roll not for the fire  outside but for the fire within, ignited by the Divine, and we go, go, go to help one another.  
THAT IS LOVE.  THAT IS GOD!

My bliss lesson for today.  

So tell your sister how much you love them no matter who they are and what the relationship you have now. Let them know that the bonds of love transcends blood relation. Ask for forgiveness if needed, lay down your life and pride....

"It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you
and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain,
so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.
This I command you: love one another"

The Divine God of this Universe has commanded us all, no matter what religion, to LOVE ONE ANOTHER, 

Start Now.....

May you find Peace, love and bliss in your life today!

Arnav Khushi VM - Mangalayam [tikaa scene]



This is one of my favorite scenes.  Arnav is Khushi's husband, through a forced marriage and that is a long story. In this scene Khushi is applying Tika (sacred dot) to Arnav like a good wife does when she runs out of her vermillion.
The intensity of this scene is awesome and the way he looks at her is breathtaking for a man who is not suppose to show love to his arch enemy, his eyes deceive him.

They Grow Up

They Grow Up



Dear Indi, I hope you find peace knowing she is growing up...

Our children are not ours, they are gifts given to us.  They choose us while a wee miniscule unseen atom and In the bliss of passion their creation occurs.

Conception.

We carry them for 10 lunar months and everyday the sun and the moon rises and sets  they grow within us, being nourished, nurtured, cacooned.
They wait for the perfect moment to make us aware they are growing inside.
Small butterfly flickers tickling us, a movement so slight as if a feather has tickled our womb.

Life.

It had already began long before we felt those light flickers but now she made her presence known. Those soft flickers becoming stronger everyday until finally you feel her heel colliding with your ribs.

Growth.

She moves. Kinetically turning this way and that. Sometimes your slumber is disturbed.
Hands placed on your growing abdomen caress the child within. Soothing effleurage.
She settles and rests.

Parturiency.

The months have flown by and then seem to stop as you wait for your precious bundle. You wait forthe perfect time when the stars are aligned and the Divine has written in the Book of Life the time of her birth.
Finally you travail, spasms and contractions, the wanted pain of the miracle of birth. Pushing until... 

She is here!

Perfect, whole, your longing...

She is here!

Happy Birthday Dear Estair

Bound For Eternity Chapter 1- 6

I am new at this blog thing so I figured I would post my first Fan Fiction about Arnav and Khushi's Suhaag Raat.  
THIS IS FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY!
So if you are 18 or older enjoy, if not close the page this is not meant for you!
Come and  and see the characters we know and love go to the next level.  
If you are not familiar with these characters I suggest looking up 
Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? Season 1 .  
There are English subtitles  and can be found at Desirippers.com Enjoy!  Please leave your comments!
Bound for Eternity
Chapter 1
Finally his lips came crushing down upon her pink luscious ones and it seemed as though the stars, the moon and the universe created a new world for them.  She had avoided his kiss the entire courtship but now no longer could she deny him; she belonged to him, legally and spiritually.  They were always one, soul mates that have found each through the years, bound for eternity.
He wanted to slow down and savor this but just couldn't, his urge to have her too great; he waited for so long but what surprised him was that she was just as ardent.  Gone was the timid, shy girl and what he saw before him, what he felt before him, was a sensuous woman with wants and needs as well.  She returned his kiss passionately, gone were the barriers that kept them apart.  They had made their vows and wedding rounds; he had placed the mangalsutra and vermillion, they were bound for eternity.

They had returned home after the wedding, continued all the rituals, which he promised he would do and now the last ritual was to be completed, their suhaag raat.  His room had been transformed to an oasis of paradise.  Fairy lights had been placed from ceiling to floor; roses their favorite flower were in vases around the room, so when he carried her in the scent was intoxicating.  The bed had rose petals strewn in the form of a heart shape on the middle of the bed and hanging from the center of the ceiling and cascading to the floor around the bed were beautiful white orchids and roses forming a net of beauty surrounding the massive king size bed.  The bed, where they will spend their life as husband and wife, bound for eternity, were they will love each other with all their passion, heart and soul; where they will consummate their love and where they will start their family when Devi Maiyya willed it.
He realized their passion was taking over and he stopped.  He knew he must go slowly.  He wanted this night to be perfect for her.  He got up and sat at the edge of the bed.  She looked at him and hesitantly spoke his name, "A..Arnavji?"  Kushi thought she had done something wrong, was she too aggressive?  She had never experienced what was happening and she certainly didn't know why she became so…so... she blushed thinking about her wanton behavior.  What did this man do to her?  He aroused so many emotions and feelings inside of her she couldn't control.
"Kushi, go change", he said.
She got up from the bed with a worried look on her face, she definitely did something wrong she thought to herself.  How could she ruin this night, they waited for so long.  She went into the bathroom and decided to bathe and remembered that she had bought a special nightgown with Di and Payal for this occasion.  The girls had gone shopping and were being quite mischievous before the wedding and encouraged her to buy this slinky, satiny nightgown for this ritual.  It was beautifully made with Point d'Alencon lace covering the bodice and went low in the back to the curve just above her buttocks. As she slipped it over her head and it caressed every curve of her body, she blushed.  How was she going to face him in this?  Thank Devi Maiyya that it came with a robe and she felt better when she covered herself with it.  Her heart was a flutter, pounding deep in her chest and her breath started to come fast and shallow rising high in her chest just from the thought of this night and as she looked at herself in the mirror, her lips still swollen and bruised from his passionate kiss, she slowly and tentatively walked out of the bathroom.
Kushi had to make things right, she didn't want him to think she was a wanton.  They were bound for eternity now, so tonight had to be perfect.  She would apologize.

Chapter 2
His mouth was hanging open; she had just walked out of the bathroom.  Can you imagine if this reaction was with the robe on, what would he do if she disrobed?
He slowly got up from the bed, he needed a cold shower, he wanted things to slow down that is why he told her to go and change; things were moving too fast in his head and to his body. This was not going to help at all, she was stunning in her satiny robe.  All he thought about was ravishing her.  He wanted her so badly.  He had to regain control.
“A…Arnavji…”
She nearly undid him with speaking his name so tentatively.  He walked past her and slammed the bathroom door.
She started to cry.  What had she done?  She ruined everything; she just didn’t understand what was going on.
He stormed into the bathroom and she heard the shower running.
He tore off his clothes and jumped as fast as he could into the shower.  The cold water pulsating on his sculpted body, (thanks, Indi), to help reduce his “inflammation”, would help him gain control.  Miss Kushi Kumari Gupta, oops, Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada, was going to be the death of him!  She was breath taking in her satiny robe, hair down, plump bruised lips and that look in her eyes of wanting, it was going to undo him.  He thought he was going to…. right there and then, he needed a cold shower.  He thought about the night to come and how he wanted it to be special for her so he had to take charge but not be a bull.  He would have to use all his will and might to regain control, to go slowly, to savor the one he adored.
He wanted this night to be perfect for her for he knew how important it was.  He wanted her to know how much he loved her.  He allowed all the walls surrounding his heart to crumble, he let her in and she knew all about his darkest secrets and his pain.  She was like a healing salve to his wounds, like the aloe vera plant that helps healing and prevents scarring to wounded skin.  His wounds were deep but her love seeped through and caressed his broken heart making it whole again.  He loved her deeply for that.  He tried pushing her away with his words and actions but she didn’t budge.  She continued to be his support.  He knew he hurt her during their strange courtship but finally when he acknowledged that he indeed did love her he asked for her forgiveness which she gave readily.  She loved him unconditionally, even the Rakshas within.  She called him her Laad Govenor with affection.
Kushi was now pacing back and forth in their room.  Her crying had stopped and now she was angry.  What had she done?  Absolutely nothing she decided, “That Laad Govenor, who does he think he is ignoring her like that and rushing into the bathroom?  He didn’t even say he liked what she was wearing!” She will show him, she won’t talk to him!  She climbed into bed and covered herself up to her neck and the minute she placed her head on the pillow she fell fast asleep.


Chapter 3
He was in the shower for 45 long minutes, which is how long it took for him to feel that the water was cold.  What was she doing to him?  How was he going to get through this slowly?  He had to just push passed her when she came out of the bathroom for he thought he would just lose himself right then and there.  She looked ravishing.  He just wanted to devour her instead of savoring every inch of her which was his intent but he didn’t think he would be able to do it.  He felt like a young man when looking at a Sports Illustrated Magazine, the swimsuit edition.  It was hard to breathe every time he thought about her in that robe.  What was underneath?  Whatever, she was his and he couldn’t wait.  He had to have her and NOW.  Forget being gentle and taking his time he decided to take her quick and fast and then he can make it up to her later. His body stirred at the thought.  He wrapped the plush towel around his waist and hurried out the door only to find her fast asleep surrounded by the blanket up to her neck!
“What the?”
His taut body began to relax.  This was certainly not the way he expected to find her.  He thought she would be waiting for him, lounging her lean body in that satiny robe, across the bed or even he may have found her at poolside gazing up at the stars with her long flowing hair cascading down her back.  He became furious.  How could she?  This was their biggest night ever.  They had waited for so long to be together.  Frustrated, he started to pace back and forth.  Now what?  He made noise stomping his feet hoping she would wake up and they could continue where they left off but she only seemed to sleep deeper.
Through gritted teeth he said, “Kushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada if you think you are going to get any sleep tonight you are sorely mistaken!” and he bumped into the bed shaking it.
And still she continued to sleep.
“What the?”
He was getting angrier and angrier.  How was he going to wake her up?  There is no way that this night was going to turn out like this. He pictured in his mind how he would kiss those bruised lips again and slowly untie her robe. He couldn’t wait to see what would be revealed inside that silky loungerie.  His body stirred at the thought of her in the satiny outfit.  He needed her NOW, how should he wake her up?   He had an idea!  He took one of the roses from a nearby vase and started to tickle her with the soft petals.  He gently directed the rose and its petals skimming over her forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks to her jaw and down her neck, which he uncovered. She didn’t budge. As he pulled back the covers his breath caught by the sight of her and his muscles clenched deep within. Saying that she was ravishing was an understatement, she was a vixen disguised in a young innocent woman’s body.  His gaze on her hot with desire, his arousal started to become visible through the towel at the sight of her; she was wearing the most beautiful nightgown he had ever seen or was it her beauty that made it seem that way?  It molded to every curve of her body with the Point d’Alencon caressing her breasts and ending near her navel.  The panels between the lace and satin were sheer and her creamy pink skin peaked through.  He just about lost it then.
And still she continued to sleep.

Chapter 4
He sat at the edge of the bed looking at her, his eyes misted.  How beautiful she is and she is his, bound for eternity.  A smile came upon his face as he was reminded of their first meeting.
AR Designs and Consulting Fashion Institute was one of the top five fashion industries in the world and he was its founder and CEO.  His MBA from Harvard paid off.  He had made the Forbes 500 list of companies many times over through his business’s career and was very proud of his accomplishments.  Having been five years in business and being the number one rated fashion company was cause for celebration and of course Arnav Singh Raizada would do it lavishly.  He decided the setting would be his ancestral home, Sheesh Mahal, where he had many wonderful memories with his mother and Di, Anjali but those wonderful and happy memories were tainted by the horrific crime his father had committed.  He wanted, no needed to bring happiness to this place again ergo a celebration so lavish with many dignitaries and fashionistas from all over the world in attendance.  He would hire the top models from around the globe stating that all can wear Indian fashion.
Sheesh Mahal was all-abuzz when he landed by helicopter on the front lawn.  Newspaper reporters and paparazzi surrounded the heliport. And the second he was out of the copter questions were flying.  Above the noise of the blades he couldn’t hear a thing and head down he breezed past everyone sending his press secretary to field the questions for him.  As he walked into Sheesh Mahal he took a deep breath.  It had been many years since he had been there.  Suddenly before him and with a flood of mixed emotions he pictured his Di’s wedding.  He was 14 at the time and was very proud and happy that day.  The house looked elegant, his sister beautiful.  Everyone was ecstatically happy and there were an abundant of people.
His thoughts were distracted by his bride who happened just then to turn over on to her side and peeking out through that lace was the swell of her breast and the top of a pale pink nipple.  He turned his head, almost embarrassed but then realized she belonged to him; this was his right to view his wife’s perfect body.  He returned his gaze to her and knew he needed something else to distract him.  He wanted to place a kiss on that perfect globe and take her pale pink nipple into his mouth to suckle but she was in such a deep and peaceful sleep he decided against it.  This is a first Arnav Singh Raizada putting someone else’s needs in front of his own.  He took a deep breath and went into the bathroom for a second cold shower!
Sheesh Mahal was a splendid venue for a wedding.  The grounds vast and lush green, fountains gushing with water as water lilies floated on top of their waters and tents were placed everywhere with refreshments.  He was so happy for his sister but sad as well.  They were very close and she would be leaving him soon.  Music was playing in the background and he noticed his mother leaving the party extravaganza abruptly, running up the stairs.  He followed her, worried.  She went to her room and was arguing with his father; he could only pick up bits and pieces of the argument.  He heard “how could you do this to me and your children?” and he then heard the word “affair”.  The next thing he knew his mother ran into what he assumed was her dressing room or bathroom and heard a gunshot and a few moments later another one.  He screamed,”MAAAAA!”
He shook in the shower as the pelting cold drops of water splayed on his sculpted, hard body.  Tears fell down his face.  He always had this nightmare but why today?  He wanted to just forget all this sadness because he is the happiest he has ever been.  Kushi was his key and unlocked the vault of his broken heart.  Taking a deep breath, the daydream and the cold water dampened his desire.  He stepped out of the shower, dried his toned tanned body and wrapped another towel around him.  He went to Kushi.
He needed her and NOW!


Chapter 5

“Kushi, Kushi…” He shook her
“Huh?” she answered and then turned to her other side.
“What the!”
“KUSHI!!!!”
She just sighed and turned on her back looking ever so lovely almost ethereal.  His breath caught.  Why wasn’t she getting up?  He knew it had been a very long day with a huge celebration and she was very tired but this tired?  Her gown was very heavy and ladened with jewels.  Kushi was a very simple girl but she looked like a supermodel in her wedding attire.  He was proud to call this simple girl his wife.  She gave in to his will when he asked her to wear one of his designs for the wedding.  He made it especially for her.  He knew she was a simple girl but today he took that simplicity to elegance and she shone beautifully like the brightest diamond ever found.
He watched her intently, her eyes softly closed and those thick, long dark eyelashes that made her beautiful hazel green eyes even more beautiful; those lashes seemed to go on forever.  Her nose was sculpted as well as her cheekbones and had a soft pink flush to them.  Was she dreaming about him?  His gaze went to her luscious, plump, pink lips, those kissable lips that were slightly parted. Oh how he wanted to ….
She moaned.  “Arnavji…” and he answered her, “I am right here, Kushi”.  She continued to be in a deep sleep but continued moaning and her breath started to pant and she was squirming and he was getting nervous.  What was happening?  Was she having a nightmare? Nah, this wasn’t a nightmare but something more, something it seemed to him to be sensuous.  With all her moaning and panting he started to get agitated.
What was she dreaming?
It better be about him!
Of course it was.
Kushi Kumari Gupta was in a deep dream realm.  She felt herself walking the runway at Sheesh Mahal; she took the wrong turn and wound up back stage where she was grabbed by the stage manager.  Her sneakers were taken off her feet and she was given the most beautiful sandals she had ever seen all adorned with diamonds and emeralds.  They matched her beautiful green and citron gown perfectly.  They placed a stunning veil upon her head and threw her out to the runway.  She moaned, “Nahi, Nahi…” and started to pant.  Nerves had gotten the best of her.  They were whispering from the sidelines “Go, go down the runway!” and she turned and started the long walk.  Everything was pitch black except for the blinding runway lights.  She moved forward walking warily on those high heels.  She hesitantly continued forward not knowing what to do when suddenly she lost her footing and fell off the stage into the arms of the most handsome but dangerous looking man she had ever seen.  His dark chocolate eyes were full of anger but there was something else she could sense as he held her.  He was intently looking at her and she started to squirm feeling uncomfortable under his piercing gaze.  He was staring at her lips and she became self-conscious of them and his stare.  There was a warm sensation she had never felt before blooming down in her womb like all the blood from her head had rush to her womanly parts.  She took a deep breath and her eyes could not leave this man’s deep chocolate eyes, she could feel her blood rushing through her veins and even heard her heart beating and breath panting.  She could stay in this man’s arms forever.
“Arnavji”… she moaned.
He was right there.
What was this woman dreaming about?  He now knew it was about him for she had spoken his name.  He felt so exhilarated just watching his wife having a sensuous dream about him.  Her body was flushed, her nipples taut and straining to bud through the silky fabric, her lips parted and as she lay there she was the most magnificent sight he had ever seen.  She started to shift her legs rubbing them together and tilted her hips just ever so slightly upward.
He became totally undone.  He had to wake her.  He started to kiss her forehead and slowly feathering kisses on her eyes, down her cheeks until he reached her ear lobes.  He nibbled there and waited for some response.
She had stop moving. Her breath came back to normal and when he raised himself up he was staring into Kushi’s wide open hazel, green eyes and her lips formed the perfect O.  She was in shock.  What was he doing?
“Arnavji?”

Chapter 6
His mouth crushed down upon her lips.  He couldn’t wait anymore and to his surprise she reciprocated right back.  Their kiss was one of passion and longing.  He needed her and she was right there for him giving him what he needed.  The memory he had recently recalled while in the shower was being washed away but not by water but by his wife.
Her kiss was all he needed.
Arnav continued to kiss her passionately but they needed to come up for air.  He slowly broke the kiss but continued to nuzzle her neck and when she moaned he was pleased.  Her arms went from around his neck and when she came up for air she realized he was wearing only a towel as her gaze went to his bare chiseled chest.  If it was possible she blushed another shade of crimson. He was a magnificent sight, strong broad shoulders, sculpted arms and a well muscled six pack abdomen; her eyes took him all in, even the hairs on his abdomen which formed a line from his navel downward below where he had the towel tied.  She swallowed and blushed even more.  Her husband was so deliciously handsome she thought and he was all hers, they were bound for eternity.
He realized she was checking him out and Arnav Singh Raizada knew he had a great body, but he was happy seeing his wife’s reaction to him.  Arnav regularly exercised and had a strict regiment of jogging, swimming and weight lifting.  His taut, well-muscled body was lean and tanned but he worked hard to keep himself fit.  He had diabetes so it was important to keep himself healthy.  He stretched out on the bed and pulled her closer to him.  He decided to ask her what she was dreaming about.
“Kya? Dream? What dream?” She blushed as she recalled her dream of falling into his arms the first time they met.  She thought she fell in love with him that day just looking into his eyes but he became a monster after that first meeting and he hurt her many times during their strange courtship.  That night her sister’s wedding broke and he was responsible.  Kushi started to feel sad reminiscing about what happened and Arnav noticed the change in her facial expression.
“Kushi?”
She loved this man, she didn’t care about the past or who he was then, she knew who he was now.  She turned to him with misty eyes and placed her hands on his cheeks and kissed him slowly, gently at first.  Light, butterfly kisses first on one eye and then the next.   She trailed her lips to his one cheek and then the other, firmly placing her lips to kiss each side of his face.  She looked directly into his questioning eyes and then she with parted lips kissed him straight on the mouth.  She nibbled his bottom lip and as he started to reciprocate, her tongue touched his.  She gently explored his mouth and as the kiss became more, one of need, he took over.  He flipped her over on to her back and plundered her mouth more passionately.    As he lay over her he was careful not to crush her slight body but through her filmy nightgown he felt her buds straining.  His hands started to roam and they gently caressed her globes. They both moaned.  She had decided that she was not going to be timid with him even though she had no idea what to do, but after having an intimate conversation with Di and Payal she did have some idea.  Her hands glided over his torso, shoulders, arms and back as she kissed him. With little nips she went up and down his arms, chest and neck.
Arnav was surprised by Kushi’s boldness.  It seemed like they kissed for hours and he was at the point of no return.  He wanted her.  He slowly undressed her and with every inch of exposed skin his heart leapt.
His towel dropped to the floor and her eyes widened.
“Oh, my!” she said.
