Savior Of Her Heart novel Chapter 41

Anupama's POV:-

Alessandro takes my hand and leads me towards the picnic blanket where he has set up for our date. Both of us plop down on the blanket while I open the food basket. Upon opening the basket I notice that everything is my favorite thing to eat. I look at him to see that he is already looking at me with a smirk as if he knows I am very impressed with his choices. There is Soya Biryani, Paneer Curry, Egg Bhurji, Garlic Butter Naan, Fish Fry, Sweet Curd packed in the basket. I haven't gotten time to eat lunch properly so after seeing the delicious food item my mouth water instantly.

"Cara these are for you to eat, not to stare." He comments with a laugh and take the basket from me. He starts to take out the food containers from the basket and one by one put down everything on the blanket. The weather is very chilly but the campfire is enough to make me warm.

"Here is your dinner." He says while handing me a plate.

"Thank you so much for this amazing date, Alessandro. But why did you only bring my favorite foods? You should have brought something of your liking too." I complain with a pout.

"I want to make this day special for you so today we are going to eat only your favorite foods. Now, stop talking and start eating or the food will get cold." He replies before putting a spoonful of Biryani in my mouth making me shut up. I chew the bite before feeding him Naan with paneer which I know that he loves to eat.

"By the way, today is not our two month anniversary because that was two weeks ago. Then why did you wish me today?" I ask the question that is going on my mind from the beginning. He stop eating and put his plate down while giving me a soft smile.

"I know that today is not our anniversary but I want to celebrate the day with you. With everything going on I couldn't think of a better surprise than this one which I believe you are liking so far. Both of us are so busy with our own things that are not able to spend some time with each other and that's why I have secretly planned this gateway." He explains making me feel loved and cherished. This man is like every girl's dream man because of his caring and nurturing nature which always makes me think that I am the luckiest person in the world.

We start eating again while talking about various things. At a point, my tummy starts hurting because of his non-stop jokes and I think he feels bad for me because finally he stops talking while I finish my food. After finishing our dinner we decide to share the sweet curd which is super delicious. I don't realize that there a little curd left on the side of my lip because the next thing I know he licks the side of my lips to get rid of the curd. My eyes widen in surprise because I am not ready for such bold action from him so suddenly. However, he seems not to mind anything because I notice the way his lips curved in a teasing smirk.

"Why did you do that?" I complain.

"What have I done?" He asks looking all innocent but I know he understands what I am talking about.

"You can not just do that, Alessandro." I tell him with a pout.

"The curd is very sweet but it is tastier when I get to taste it from your lips." He says while I cover my eyes in embarrassment. Oh my god! This man does not have any filter.

"Are you sure you don't like what I have done?" He asks after some time when I still don't uncover my eyes. I am sure my face is looking ripe as a tomato.

"Stop talking about such things." I mumble and turn around not wanting to look at him with my blushing cheeks because I am sure then he will say more perverted things.

"May I know what things are you talking about?" He asks while putting his chin on my shoulder while wrapping his arms around my waist. I shake my head but he has another plan going in his mind. He starts kissing behind my ear making me shiver while his arms tighten around my waist. Suddenly I feel something wet drop on my head and soon droplets after droplets starts to drip from the sky making me understand that it's raining.

"Oh no Alessandro, how come it's raining in this season?" I ask while getting up from the blanket. He too stands up while we both start collecting the things which are getting soaked.

"How am I supposed to know that Cara? Come on let's go inside or you will catch cold." He lets out and picks me in his arms before running towards the cabin trying to get away from the sudden rain. I clutch his sweater tightly in my fist in cold because my hands and feet are already getting cold. Soon, we get in front of the cabin and he puts me down on the porch. By now both of us are soaking wet from head to toe so without wasting any more time we get inside the cabin and up to the bedroom. He gets inside the bathroom and get a couple of towels. He takes one towel and starts to pat dry my face. He then rubs my hair with the same towel to get rid of water as much as he can. But I stop him in the middle because I can see that he is also shivering from the cold and his clothes are not in any better condition than mine.

"What are you doing Cara? I need to get you dry." He complains while looking at me with an annoyed expression.

"I am not the only one who can get a cold. Come on get inside the bathroom and change your clothes first." I tell him and push him into the direction of the bathroom. But he shakes his head in response.

"You are going to change your clothes first and that's final." By saying this he gives me a dry towel and pushes me inside the bathroom. I sigh but do as he says and close the door of the bathroom. Shivering from the cold, I take off my wet clothes and dump them in a nearby basket. After rubbing my body dry with the towel I get to wear clean clothes. But then I remember that I haven't brought any dry clothes with me making me gulp in embarrassment. Now, how am I supposed to go out of the bathroom?

"Are you done, Cara? If you are done then come out because I have already lit the fire in the fireplace to get us warm." He calls out from the room. I think for some idea but none come to my mind. So, I wrap the towel around my body well as much as I can to hide the necessary parts and take a deep breath before open the door to get out.

"What took you so-" He stops mid-sentence while looking at my towel wrapped body with wide eyes. I try to smile at him but soon my breath catch in my throat when he starts stalking in my way like a meal-deprived animal. I start walking backward but in a quick reflex, he stands in front of me. He wraps his strong arms around my waist and pulls me towards him making me shut my eyes from the close proximity between us.

"Are you trying to kill me, Tesoro?" His husky voice doing something to me which I can not pinpoint well.

"Ac-tua-lly I fo-rgot to bri-ng dry clo-th-es w-ith me..." I reply while trying hard not to look at his eyes.

"I know I have said that I will wait as long as you want but by seeing your towel-clad body I am having trouble keeping my promise, Cara." He says while running his nose up my neck.

"W-h-at promise?" I ask unknowingly.

"To not ravish your pretty little body." He replies making me stunned at his straight answer. My throat get dry not understanding what to do, I know what he is talking about but what I don't know if I am ready for the big step or not. I want to complete our marriage by consummating our relation but I am scared, scared of not being enough for him. I don't want him to regret it after realizing that I am not what he deserves.

"I am sorry, Cara. I don't know what come over me and I said those things to you. Come on, let's go to sleep." He says out of nowhere making me get out of my thoughts to see that he is already making his way towards the bed. I take a deep breath and decide to do what my heart desires.

"I am ready Alessandro." His head snaps in my direction while his eyes shone with surprise as if I have said something rare. I walk up to him and stand in front of him before placing my hand over the left side of his chest where I can feel the rhythm of his heart going faster than usual.

"I don't want you to do something to satisfy me love. I can wait as much as you want." He explains but I can clearly see the lust in his eyes and that's enough for me to know that the lust in him is ignited by me. I don't reply instead I cup his face with my both hands and kiss him on the lips to let him know what I want. He hesitates at first, but then he realizes that I meant what I have said.
