41. Aftercare!
I fell beside her after our passionate moments. We took some time to calm down our rugged breaths. Once we were breathing normally I kissed her forehead.
"I love you princess!" I said caressing her hair which is sticking to her body due to sweat.
"I love you too, my prince!" She replied kissing my chest and wrapping her hands around my torso.
"Let's clean up," I said scooping her in my arms and taking her to the bathroom. I made her sit on the counter and filled the tub with water. Once I made sure the temperature was ideal I made her sit in the tub and cleaned her. She relaxed after a while and leaned back on my chest.
We came out once the water started turning cold and I took her to the closet. I wrapped a towel around my waist and took out her undergarments and one of my T-shirts. I was about to make her wear her clothes when she stopped me.
"I will do it myself." She said with a shy smile.
"I will do it. " I said and she passed me an unsure look.
"Princess, if I have a right to take off your clothes during our lovemaking, then I should also take the responsibility to make you wear them afterward," I replied pecking her cheek and she gave in this time. I made her wear my T-shirt which effortlessly reached to her thighs.
"You go and lay down. I will come after dressing up." I said but she nodded her head in negative and stood there. I put on sweatpants, lifted her in my arms, and walked towards our bedroom. Once we were both in bed I covered us with duvet and pulled her closer to me. She rested her head on my chest and dozed off almost immediately. I kissed her forehead before letting sleep take over.
The next morning I woke up when I heard my phone buzzing on the bedside table. I looked down and saw my princess sleeping peacefully with her hands on my chest and our legs entangled. My trance broke when the phone buzzed again. I picked it up and kept it to my ear.
Abhishek informed me about him and Abir coming directly to our palace and asked about how his babhi was. I said she was doing good and asked him to take care of Abir. We spoke for a while about business-related matters and cut the call after half an hour. I looked down to find Isha sleeping without any disturbance due to all the talking.
"Princess, wake up!" I cooed her and she snuggled more into my chest shaking her head.
"Princess!" I called again.
"Let's sleep na Nav! Please!" She requested with a cute pout without opening her eyes.
"Okay! First, eat something and then you can sleep. " I tried again and this time she got up reluctantly.
"Good morning Nav!" She said kissing my cheek.
"Good morning princess!" I replied kissing her forehead.
"Do you want to go for a workout?" I asked her and she immediately shook her head in a no.
"I am too tired to even walk." She replied with a pout. I lifted her in my arms and she squealed.
"What are you doing?" She asked wrapping her hands around my neck.
"You are too tired to walk. So, I am just helping you." I replied winking at her. She fake glared at me but her smile betrayed her. I kept her down once we reached the bathroom and walked out after giving her a towel and filling the water for her.
I did a few workouts and went back to my room. By that time she was ready for her office. She was about to apply vermillion but I took it for her and applied it myself. She smiled looking at me through the mirror.
"I will wait for you," she said passing me a towel and I nodded taking it. I took a bath and came out wearing my pants. Isha turned me towards her once I slid the shirt over my shoulders and started buttoning it.
"You don't need to do this princess!" I said and she smiled at that.
"You are not the only one who takes off my clothes." She replied with pink cheeks and looked down.
"Aha!" I teased her and she hit my chest playfully and continued her work.
"Let's make it a deal then." She spoke after a while taking my blazer in her hands.
"What?" I asked her getting confused.
"I know you are going to take care of me every time after we make love. So, I will help my hubby the next day." She said making me wear my blazer.
"Then we are going to do that daily!" I said winking at her and she became a beetroot.
"I don't have a problem buttoning your shirt and getting you ready." She replied hiding herself in my arms making me chuckle.
"Even I have no problem dressing you up daily," I said kissing her hair.
"I bought some new clothes." She said after a while moving away.
"Oh!" I replied taking my watch and she tied it around my wrist.
"I want to wear only traditional wear until your coronation." She said after a few seconds contemplating with her words fidgeting with her fingers.
"You don't need to do all these for her," I said leaving an exasperated sigh.
"I want to do that for you, Nav, and it's just a matter of a few days. Please, baby!" she said hugging me.
"I don't want you to adjust even for me." I breathed out.
"Oye Mr! I love wearing traditional wear. It's just my work demands me to wear all this! If it's up to me I will wear a saree every day!" She said glaring at me with her hands on her hips.
"Achaa! As long as you are comfortable you can wear anything." I said kissing her forehead.
"Let's go? Everyone will be waiting for us at breakfast." She said to which I nodded and we descended the stairs.
We had our breakfast with Daadu, Daadi, Papa, and chachu. Me, Isha, Papa, and Chachu left for our respective work while Daadi called some of her and Daadus' friends over to pass the time.
Today evening we will be going to our Palace so I tried to complete as much work as possible. Daadi strictly ordered us not to bring work there. I completed the work by 7 and left to pick up Isha from her work. Dharam said she was still in her office.
I parked the car and walked into her cabin. There are only a few workers as it was already 8. I nodded at them when they wished me and walked into her cabin. She was sitting on her seat with files piled up to her left and coffee cups lying on her right. She is typing furiously on her laptop not caring about her surroundings. I went to her and closed her laptop after saving her work.
"Nav!" She whined like a kid.
"Enough of working, princess! We have to leave now." I said in a strict tone.
"But I am not done yet." She pouted.
"Someone else will do that. Now, come on get up." I said packing her bag and she followed me huffing.
"When did my wife become so much workaholic?" I teased her.
"After not getting attention from her workaholic husband!" She replied and walked past me.
"When did I not give you attention?" I asked following her to the elevator.
"You didn't but you are a workaholic." She shrugged. I pulled her closer to me once we were inside the elevator.
"Hmm. Now there will be no work for a week" I said snuggling into her neck.
"Not office work but I am sure you will be doing some preparation work or meeting people." She replied turning her head to the other side giving me more access.
"Maybe but I will be beside you all the time!" I said biting her neck and licking there to soothe the pain.
"Nav!" She moaned gripping my hair.
We reached home and did our packing. Our coronation will be done in one of our other palaces as Papa didn't want people to visit our home and cause security breaches. The palace was under high surveillance for the past month and I have increased the security after Manjiris' warning. I can't risk my Ishas' safety.
"Nav! Stop thinking about my safety. Those two dozen guards you hired for me are doing their jobs very well!" Isha said breaking my chain of thoughts. I can clearly see that she didn't like them following her but she didn't say anything when I asked them to be with her. She just agreed to that.
