Her Replaced Husband ✓

¶chapter twenty two¶

"You have a fever I think," Faris declared, worriedly as his fingers brushed against her hot temple.

"I am fine," she said sternly and again pulled the covers over her face but this time he was quick, he grabbed her hand. Tenderly removing her hair from her forehead, he placed his palm over it. His lips turned into a thin line as he became the professional she hated the most. But despite this, she didn't strive to move him away. She was liking his touch. His cold yet soothing touch!

Uff Allah Ajwa! What the hell was happening to you?

She called herself in her heart and shut her eyes.

"I got wet in the rain but you get the fever instead. Is it like those cheesy romantic novels in which the wife gets bruise after the husband gets beaten? Or did you also enjoy the rain by getting wet in it?" Faris chuckled at which she looked back at him.

Those husbands and wives love each other, Faris Kirmani. While you---

She sighed and glanced away.

"I did. I like the rain," she murmured, showing eyes to him.

"And I like the sunshine after it. The cute, angry, and gorgeous sunshine," he said, sitting beside her on the bed.

"I don't know who made you a doctor. You should have been in an institute teaching everyone how to flirt with girls," she snarled at which he laughed loudly.

"I am just flirting with my girl, mind it," he whispered sensually shifting his hand from her forehead to her cheek and gently caressing it.

She leaned into the touch and closed her eyes again to feel it. Him calling her his and then this damn touch. She was a human after all. Soon his daring hand reached her neck, his fingers doing wonders to her sensitive skin. She gasped at the unique sensation. In all this while, she forgot the beautiful barrier she had made had been ruined completely. It was still placed in its full glory on her left side. But this guy was sitting without any issue on her right.

"Have you ever tried to break your boundaries, sunshine? Yearned to do something which you have forbidden on yourself. Hmm?" He mumbled in his most husky voice ever while his hand didn't stop there. He was now brushing the soft skin of her forearm while his eyes strode from her eyes to her nose and then to her lips.

She was not a fool not to understand what he was implicating here and this made her blush but soon she was happy that finally there was something that this man could feel. Which he could let past his heart.

He now cupped her face, his eyes scanning her lips all the time. She inhaled when his thumb made contact with her lower lip.

"Sunshine?" He grumbled.

"Yes?" She unknowingly replied as his thumb was now brushing her full lips. This guy was making her crazy and she despite trying her best was falling for him more and more.

Faris snickered. So she was finally accepting the name he gave her.

"You are very beautiful," he said, truthfully.

She bit her lower lip drawing his attention back towards them. He leaned more near her face, so much so that she was able to feel his breath on her cheeks. Soon her mind flashed and she pushed him away.

If she right now would let herself be weak and accepting, then she would always have to live in this loveless marriage for the rest of her life. Which was a big no for her. She wanted love and she would not be approving anything less than this.

Faris gave her a confused look but she was also Ajwa. If he was this calculated with even attracting her then she also knew how to play hard to get. She had also received many appreciative glances for her and always tossed them away. She wanted to bring the human side of Faris where he could feel the emotions that she felt for him.
