Seeing Shreya shaking.. Charan couldn't help panic for a second. Even when he patted over her back in order to comfort her.. He couldn't help pull her impossibly closer to himself hugging her. Her small frame was completely wrapped by his warmth in no time.

"Sorry.. sorry. I did not mean to scare you.. It's okay.. everything's going to be fine!!" Charan whispered burying his head at the crooks of her neck. He never forgot that Shreya had no experience. He had always been mindful and cautious of this fact.. After all, she was new to all of this and it is easy to get scared..

But Shreya seemed to always have the right things to make him lose his control every single time.

What man can tolerate and do nothing when the girl he loves to his bones was happily touching and playing with him sitting on his ??ps while he sat there b?r? in front of her?

Shreya never heard anything Charan said though.

Maybe she had a s?ns?t?v? body or it may be because Charan knew what he was doing or maybe because of her inexperience.. Maybe it was because of her feelings for him.. She did not know what the reason was. Whatever may be the reason but his touch made her dizzy with excitement.

Every brush of hands against her skin drowned her in euphoria she never experienced before. It took a while to come down from it.. When she did come down from it, she found that she was wrapped around Charan like an octopus almost smothering him.

But then she realized the problem when she heard Charan's comforting words..

"Who said I was scared? Do I look like a person who is so easily scared? Idiot!!" Shreya suddenly mumbled scolding him against his neck. Her voice was muffled and hoarse but you can also hear the resentment in her voice when she asked the question.

Before Charan could say anything to defend himself, he felt throbbing over his shoulders as Shreya bit on him.

Charan pulled away and looked into her eyes. He was met with pouting lips, blushed cheeks, and clear eyes. He never answered her. He just gently laid her down on the bed all over again and hovered over her.

"Let's see how brave you are!!" Charan said smirking at Shreya before reaching down to kiss her lips. But his lips did not stay there for long. He gave her open-mouthed kisses all over her face before dipping down to her neck. Just as he moved down, his eyes flickered on her scars just below her bra straps. He looked into her eyes intensely for a second before dipping down to gently kiss her scars.

Shreya shank unconsciously when she realized she had forgotten about it this whole time.. Her hands unconsciously reached out to hide it when Charan caught her hands half away before they could reach their destination.

"You don't have to hide anything.. This does not show that your ex is an ?sshole.. this shows that you are brave!!" Charan said solemnly looking at Shreya. Because he knew that more than hating the scar itself, Shreya hated the memory that is attached to it.. that is why she strived to hide it.

But he wouldn't allow it.. he wouldn't allow her to be disgusted about anything about herself. She was too precious for something like that.. Every part of her cannot be any more perfect than she already was. And he will make sure she will realize it one day.

He softly pecked all over her belly until Shreya completely forgot everything else.

His thumbs still brushed against the stitch mark very softly. He kissed them very tenderly.

Laying there b?r? in front of him, she couldn't help squirming in spite of herself. Now she regretted challenging him before. She was a juvenile in this regard in front of him.

Her whole body blushed crimson. Her heart pounded against her ribs vigorously as if they were trying to break out of her body. In just a few seconds, nervousness spread.

As if sensing her discomfort, Charan leaned down to hug her to himself. He ignored the sparks and the tingling sensation he felt as soon as her b?r? soft skin came in contact with his. He ??r?ssed her back comfortingly as he said, "Don't worry.. I am not going to do anything you don't want to. I just want to touch you some more.. I will stop if you start feeling uncomfortable about anything!!" His voice was gentle but firm.

Shreya hugged him back without hesitation and said, "You.. you can do it. I am not uncomfortable.. I just.. I just don't know where to put my hands and legs.." After all, Shreya was someone who always knows what she was doing.. that's the kind of control she was used to on normal days. But she lost that control here..

It takes courage to entrust yourself to another person so very completely.. She was learning about it just now..

"No.." Charan suddenly said firmly. "I won't do it until you are officially my wife!!" He declared. Not that he was old-fashioned or look down on premarital s?x. But he just wanted to give Shreya that little bit of respect.. especially after knowing she was innocent in this regard.

Before Shreya could add anything more to it, Charan started kissing her.. he showed her p???sur? she had never imagined existed. He worshiped her so gently and so passionately while all she could do was lay there being a sweaty panting mess.

But just as he promised, he just touched her and never did anything more. Instead, he went to have another cold shower before joining her to sleep.

Shreya curled herself against him before going to sleep. Charan pecked on her temple and whispered, "Good night.."

Thus the couple got engaged even when neither of them actually asked the question or even bothered to say yes. In the middle of the night so very quietly without any fuzz, they just quietly understood each other's unsaid question and answer. The media will have a field day if they got to know about it.

Charan reached out and slipped the ring on both of their hands before going to sleep. He wanted to put it on her to show his sovereignty.
