A bonus chapter for my book Kissing Away Insecurities 

Anika smiled kissing Aashi on the cheek. "Good night."

"Good night, Mumma!" the little girl gave a hurried kiss and ran away to her grandmother's room to get the remote of the TV before her grandmother did.

"See you mom. We've taken the keys."

Pinky smiled. "Have fun. Come as late as you want but be safe."

Anika grinned smiling at Pinky. "Mom..Aashi.."

"Oh Woman, I have been a mother to two. I will take care. The only thing is she fights a lot like you." Pinky spoke complainingly.

"I don't fight."

"Really? Who starts off with the lecture..."

"Mom. Anika. Not now. Please. We're getting late." Shivaay interrupted, getting to Anika's side.

The two women exchanged a glance and soon after the couple left.

"See..she so cleverly blames me. She never says Aashi is stubborn like you."

"Anika admit it. She is like you in many ways." He spoke as he got into the car.

"Shivaay. She sleeps like a log...like you. She is stubborn like you. She is over emotional like you. She is possessive like you. She is naughty like you. She loves playing with my.."

Shivaay bit his lips, "say that."

"Shut up."

"She loves playing with those like me." He said leaning on her seat touching her chest. She slapped his hand away. "Dirty man. You've got her into all wrong habits. "

"It's sexy Anika. "

"Drive."

"You?"

"Shivaay!"

He laughed. "Tell me why are we going to this boring wedding party of your friend when we can do so much in this time." He spoke smiling to himself. She looked ravishing in that maroon short dress that ended right above her knees. Of took him a week to convince her to wear that. Post pregnancy she was a mess. He wondered why she thought she wasn't beautiful anymore. She was at her sexy best.

"Shivaay. Please. "

"What? I am a man, whose crazy for his woman. Tell me now we can drive to the Oberoi Hotel and ..."

"God made you a father of a girl but forgot to give you mature thinking brain cells."

" Of course not. By the way...how about...baby two?"

"I will runaway and..."

He laughed. "Anika is so scared."

"Shivaay doesn't carry a baby for nine months."

"Alright. Alright. I surrender." He said focussing on the diversion ahead.

"How was your trip?" She asked. She hadn't had a chance to ask him about his one day trip to Delhi.

"Pretty boring but successful. How was your event?"

"Tiring!"

"You put too much of yourself on it. Let's hire a nanny to look after Aashi. You practically...

"Not again Shivaay. I like doing it. I can pick up my daughter from her .."

"Anika, its not about that, its about.."he cit her off glancing sideward to see her looking out. He dropped the topic taking cue that it was irking her as always.

* * *

Anika kept smiling seeing him enjoy with the other men laughing and dancing. Occasionally, he looked at her and winked. He had the most adorable ways to make her feel still like that newly wed wife.

Anika saw the woman in that red tiny dress again. She had been noticing that woman. She couldn't take eyes off her husband. Anika was frustrated. He wasn't a bachelor for that woman to stare. He was the father of her daughter.

Minutes later, Anika saw that young lady make her way towards where Shivaay stood. Shivaay was in a playful mood today. He loved how Anika had all the attention focused on him. He felt a tap on his shoulder and turned to find a young lady smiling seductively at him.

"Hi!"

He saw Anika glaring in their direction over and beyond the woman's shoulder.

"Hi!" He responded amusement growing in his stomach.

"Dance?" She asked.

He cocked up a brow smiling. One Two and Three. Boom.

"Excuse me please. " Anika spoke in a sugar coated voice. "My husband forgets we have our kids waiting at home."

"Kids?" The girl look horrified while Shivaay enjoyed the exchange.

"We have five. Adorable ones, three having his eyes color and two mine." Anika smiled sweetly but he could sense the irritation in her voice.

Shivaay looked away holding his laughter. The lady said a small sorry and disappeared.

Anika turned to him with a hard gaze. "Some one seemed to be enjoying."

Shivaay looked at her and pulled her close. "When the attention is yours... I can't help."

Anika stared at his eyes. He wanted her right now. She knew to read her husband well.

"Five kids.seriously? Three having my eye color and two yours?"

Anika giggled.

" You scared her away." He said chuckling taking a step back. Not a good idea to stay that close to her.

Anika grinned, taking one step close. "Dance?" Why did he think only he could play?

"I thought you said your husband forgets we have kids waiting at home. " he smirked staring at her lips.

"In a hurry to get home?" Anika spoke wrapping her hands around his neck. Very well aware of what she was doing. Why should he have all the fun?

He placed his hands on her waist, not like a lover but like a perfect gentleman. " Someone's all romantic today. "

"When am I not?"

"You really don't want an honest answer." He said swaying with her.

"And the romance was killed." She scrunched her nose.

"So much of Aashi's mom." He said pinching her nose.

"That's not romantic." She pulled back her face. Couldn't he keep that pinching of nose limited to Aashi.

He gazed at her as they danced.

Parenting had sure got them on their feet. Their romance had toned down. Their intimacy wasn't like before their kid. It was now all hurried and at times unsatisfying. But if they were to be honest their parents helped a lot. They'd look over Aashi and let them have a couple time.

"Let's go." He finally spoke looking at her. He was so planning the entire night ahead in his mind. Not going to take any excuses from her today.

She smiled and nodded.

* * *

"Anika, do you really want to go home?" He asked sitting behind the wheel.

Anika grinned, keeping her hand purse aside she tied up her hair and then looked at him leaning on her seat her face turning to him. "What do you have on your mind?"

He stared at her. She could manage to look pretty in anything at anytime. "Maybe ...something fun." He leaned closer, mirroring her.

She leaned forward. "Like?" She whispered.

"Like...uhhh..." He struggled as her lips shone due to the gloss and that random ray of light falling through the windshield of the car.

She giggled.

"Let's. Walk. Barefoot on the road." He spoke looking at the empty road before their car.

"I thought climbing trees was a better option." She joked a little disappointed at his option.

He broke into laughter leaning back on the seat. "Let's go on a long drive?"

"That's fun for you. What about me?" She said suggestively. 

He rolled his tongue up inside his mouth and then looked at her sideward. "You seem to have something on your mind. Spill it." He wanted her to bold talk. She was at her sexy best when she did that.

Anika grinned. She was loving this conversation. "Tell me about your fantasies. " she said taking his hand into hers.

He gaped at her. "Are you pregnant by any chance?" Wild Hormones alert.

Her eyes widened in embarrassment and she hit him on the shoulder."Let's go home. " she giggled.

He turned fully towards her. He leaned closer cupping her face. Anika felt her heat skip a beat and then take two at the next instance. She leaned closer.

"I can't make you scream at home. That's been on my mind to-do list ever since you gave me that totally unworthy welcome kiss!" He whispered huskily into her ears.

"The car will be uncomfortable." She said taking a tiny portion of his earlobe between his teeth.

"Your office." He declared pulling back and starting the engine of the car.

"No!" She exclaimed horrified.

"You asked me my fantasies."

"Mr. Opportunist, you aren't getting that opportunity. I asked you to tell not act.  Anywhere but there."

"Really?" He asked amused.

"I didn't mean it literally."

He chuckled.

"Shivaay, no. Are you kidding me? No. No No " she said trying to convince him.

He continued to drive with a devilish grin on his face.

 "Shivaay." She dragged his name for the fifth time.

"What?" He finally exclaimed irritated.

"Please. Not there."

He stared at her pleading eyes. "Why?" He asked amused as he pulled the car into the road where their event management company stood with pride.

Anika widened her eyes in shock. So much for playing bold. She sulked at the thought of it. She would never be able to look at her workspace the same way if they got into any action there.

He chuckled passing the building seeing her dreadful look. She looked up to find him heading to the road that led to the Oberoi hotel. She smiled in relief.

" You ..." She punched his bicep.

"Anika, not when I am driving." He said sternly.

" You simply worked me up. " Anika spoke grabbing he water bottle. He grinned slowing down as she opened the bottle to drink. Once she was done he pressed the accelerator and soon the car came to a halt at the hotel. Shivaay led her inside. Anika felt awkward at times. They did this quite often. Once in two weeks sort. She left his hand as he walked to the reception. She made her way to the elevator quickly not wanting to be noticed. It was awkward when a married couple walked in at night into a hotel. She could think of the various rumors that would be around about the owner and his wife.

"Lost without me?" He joined her pressing the button with his right hand while his left hand rested in her waist.

"Its awkward." She said softly entering with him.

"It's not. We are legally married. This is a seven star hotel and not.."

She put her finger on his lip. "You talk a lot."

"Stealing my line but not my way!" He said before pulling her close and letting his lips meet hers with urgency.

She pushed him away hearing the elevator's announcement. He grinned as they walked out. He could feel his thudding heart and her unsettling breath. He smiled walking over and opening the door do their private room. She walked in blushing and he rolled his eyes. As soon as he locked the door he made his way to her as she stared at the beautifully yet minimally decorated room. He wrapped his hands around her turning her towards him. She was a little surprised as his lips dived down to her neck without a warning. She moaned arching for him. His hands struggled at getting his blazer off. She quickly pushed Jim slightly and helped him. She saw that passion in his eyes. She closed the distance meeting his lips with hers while he worked on getting her dress off.

She broke apart pushing away his unsuccessful hands. She worked on getting her dress off while he unbuttoned his shirt quickly throwing it away. She giggled looking at his desperation. He gave her a look and pushed her on the bed. Peeling the dress down his mouth attacked the new found skin. "Easy!" She said wrapping her hands around him feeling his hot skin.

"Nothing is easy. Its all hard." He whispered nibbling at her ear.

"Ahh!" She moaned feeling the need between her legs grow. AShe hurriedly moved her hands to his belt, pulling it out. He grinned pulling away from her skin to look at her. His eyes shined seeing her desire for him. He lovingly kissed her lips, softly.

"I thought... You said...hard!" She spoke between her rattling breaths as his hand caressed her thighs. He grinned wickedly, plunging down to tease her buds. "Shivaay!" A scream of pleasure left her mouth.

"This is the beginning of tonight." He whispered into her ears as his finger moved between her thighs.

"I am all yours . " she hissed as a powerful feeling of ecstasy built up, as his fingers seduced her sensitive spot."Shivaay, please." She moaned and he groaned getting free of his remaining clothes to make love to the mother of his daughter.
