She joined him on the couch and greeted looking at the screen.
“Hello, Nani.”
Nani smiled. “Reyansh told me about the remarriage. I’m very happy with your decision.”
Aanya exhaled in relief.
“I wish I, Radhika, and Rishi could be there in person... but it’s alright.”
“Youcanstill attend,” Aanya offered quickly. “Reyansh said he’d send the jet.”
“He did, yes. But Rishi is out of town. He returns tomorrow morning and it’ll be too late. And Ruhi’s still too young for such a long trip.”
Aanya nodded.
“Nani,” Reyansh said, leaning in so they were both in view, “I’ll ask Sunny to set up a live video link. You’ll be able to watch the ceremony from start to finish.”
Nani smiled, comforted by the thought. “That would mean a lot. Radhika is asleep. So, I’ll tell her in the morning. All the best for tomorrow, both of you.”
“Thank you,” they replied together.
Reyansh ended the call and leaned back with a sigh. “Families informed. Arrangements in place. So what’s left?”
Aanya tapped her chin. “What am I wearing?”
He gave her a devilish look. “Your outfit is ready. I’ll show it to you tomorrow. As fortonight…” His gaze raked over her, slow and hungry. “I’d prefer nothing.”
Goosebumps erupted on her skin at his reply.
“Wedding’s tomorrow,” she reminded, arching a brow—half teasing, half warning. “Which means... so is our wedding night.”
“No,” Reyansh murmured, pulling her gently into his arms. “We’ve always done things backwards. We got married first,then got to know each other, and then fell in love. So tomorrow is our real wedding… and tonight—”
He didn’t finish. She placed a finger on his lips, silencing him with a soft smile.
“No excuses,” she whispered.
He raised a brow, amused. “No excuses? Just a few hours ago, before dinner, you were desperate for more. And now you’re denying me?”
Her smile deepened. “That’s becausetomorrow’s weddingwasn’t part of the plan. But now that we’re doing it the right way, I want to wait.”
He exhaled slowly, almost nodding in understanding, until she leaned closer and whispered, “But we can still do a bit more… without crossing that final line.”
Reyansh stilled, his eyes darkening as her meaning sank in. Desire flickered across his features, tightening every muscle in his body.
She smiled, wicked and soft as she continued. “But only if youcancontrol where to stop.”
His eyes flashed. That was all the invitation he needed. He kissed her again…hard, fierce, tasting her teasing challenge. Then he pulled back just enough to speak, his breath ragged.
“I’ll do my best… but ifyoustart begging for more, and I lose the last thread of my patience, don’t blame me.”
Aanya gasped, heart racing. “Then let’s test that practically.”
That was all he needed.
His mouth claimed hers in a searing kiss as his hands slid around her waist. In one swift motion, he tugged at the sash of her robe, letting it fall open, his self-control hanging by a thread as he saw her wearing a similar black lace lingerie underneath.
“You’re sexy as f*ck, Aanya,” he groaned before burying his face in her neck.
