furnace of the soul

the late night ride

As the clock struck 1 a.m., Dhawal was still engrossed in his work, the soft glow of the laptop illuminating his focused expression. Natasha stirred awake, feeling the emptiness beside her. She switched on the light, and her gaze fell upon Dhawal, his eyes fixed intently on the screen.

"N-Dhavu, you're still up? Aren't you done with that work?" Natasha asked, her sleepy voice laced with concern and a hint of amusement.

D- "Almost there, petal . Just a few more minutes."

N- "You should have at least switched on the lights. You're going to ruin your eyes."

D- "No, it's fine. You sleep; I'm just wrapping up."

But Natasha knew better. She got out of bed and padded softly towards him, her bare feet making barely a sound on the cool floor.

N- "No, come now. You've been working all day. You need rest."

D- "Please, petal, it's a little important. Just ten more minutes."

N- "More important than your health? Now I'm done with this. You better shut this up and come to sleep."

Dhawal chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Okay, fine. Just ten more minutes."

Natasha's expression turned sly. "Okay, then I'll sit with you."

D- "No, petal, you sleep. I'll-"

But before he could finish, Natasha swooped in, removing the laptop and pillow from his lap. She sat down on his lap, wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug.

N- "Just ten minutes."

As she looked at the screen, her interest waned, and she gazed out the window. The moon cast a silver glow over the night sky, the stars twinkling like diamonds scattered across the fabric of the universe. A gentle smile spread across her face.

N- "Dhavu, do you remember?"

Her eyes sparkled as she delved into memories of their late-night adventures. "Remember how we used to sneak out of the house for midnight car rides? We were such freaks for adventure"

Dhawal listened intently, a gentle smile on his face. He didn't interrupt her, instead letting her words wash over him like a warm breeze.

As the laptop's screen faded to black, Dhawal's gaze locked onto Natasha's, his eyes burning with adoration. He wrapped his arms around her, drawing her into a tender hug. His fingers danced through her hair, sending shivers coursing down her spine.

Natasha's heart skipped a beat as Dhawal's lips grazed her forehead, leaving a trail of gentle kisses. His mouth wandered to her cheeks, her nose, and finally, her lips. The world around them melted away as they surrendered to a passionate kiss.

His lips moved in perfect harmony, the tension between them palpable. Dhawal's hands roamed over Natasha's back, tracing the curves of her body. He trailed his fingers along her spine, sending shivers down her spine. Natasha felt herself melting into his touch, her senses overwhelmed by the sheer romance of the moment.

As they broke apart for air, Dhawal's eyes locked onto Natasha's, his gaze smoldering with desire. "I love you," he whispered, his voice husky with emotion.

Then he carried her away, Natasha felt like she was floating on air, her heart filled with joy and love.

Dhawal's lips trailed kisses along her neck, sending shivers down her spine. He gently laid her down on a couch , his eyes never leaving hers. Natasha felt his hands roam over her body, tracing every curve, every contour.

His fingers danced along her skin, leaving a trail of fire in their wake. Natasha's heart pounded in her chest, her senses overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of Dhawal's touch.

As they lost themselves in each other's eyes, Dhawal's lips claimed Natasha's, his kiss deepening into a passionate, all-consuming embrace. The world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in their own little world of love and desire. Then dhawal slowly get off and then kiss her forehead gently and'want to go on a ride?' he whispered, his breath tickling her ear.

Natasha's heart skipped a beat. as she gazed into Dhawal's eyes. "-huh?" she stuttered as she was still breathless due to previous activity, her voice barely audible over the sound of her own heartbeat.

Dhawal's grin grew wider, his eyes crinkling at the corners. He leaned in, his breath whispering against her ear. "I want to take you on a ride, just us, under the stars. The open road, the darkness, and the thrill of the unknown... with a little surprise waiting for you."

"What kind of surprise, Mr. Makwana?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Dhawal's lips brushed against her ear, sending shivers down her spine. "The darkness, the open road, your sexy husband, and just us... with a little surprise for you."
