Naina's pov.

I bring my phone down from my ear and turn around. Rudra is dressed in grey sweatpants and his upper half is naked.

"No one." I say. "J-Just my friend." I look away from him and look down at my phone. Surbhi di has already cut the call so I copy the number to the notes app before deleting it from the call logs.

"She is calling you at night?" He asks rather curiously.

"Yup. She is in America. Time zone difference and all..." I shrug as I put the phone face down on the side table. He didn't say anything.

I clear my throat, "I'll make my bed on the floor, you can sleep on the bed." I'm small enough to sleep on the recliner but the neck pain would kill me. I hate that my parents removed the other bed and the couch from the room, who the hell asked them to do this makeover?

"No. You'll sleep on the bed. Recliner will be fine for me." He says.

I shake my head. "Your neck will hurt in the morning, believe me." I fluff my pillow and point to the other side of the bed. "You can take that side. Bed is big enough for the two of us."

He looks at me, "You are not scared I'll try something while you are asleep?" He asks mockingly. He is repeating my words from our wedding night.

I give him a look and ask, "Will you try something in my sleep?"

"No." His tone is promising like he wants me to know that he won't force me or something. Now that I think about it, apart from being pissed he did had this same promising tone during our wedding night, when he told me he won't do anything while I'm asleep.

I get inside the cover and leave more than enough space for two more people. But considering rudra's size he will easily take up the space by himself.

I hear him put his phone on the bedside table and get inside the cover. As soon as he was inside, his body heat enveloped me. There's good enough space between us yet I feel him so close to me. I'm lying on my back, staring at the ceiling and so is he.

This is the first time I'm sharing a bed with him, or with any man for that matter. I should not feel tingles in my skin when our bodies are not even touching.

I put my palms on my stomach to stop the freaking butterflies.

I can't stop thinking about my sister sobbing. She didn't sound okay. I want to call her right now and ask her what happened but I can't because rudra don't sleep that easily. If I try to stay awake until rudra falls asleep I might be awake till the morning.

"Thinking something?" He asks shocking me. He doesn't talk to me unless it is to control me.

"No, why did you ask that?" I ask. I am not looking at him. I'm barely holding myself still at having him so close to me. It is intimidating since he doesn't have a t shirt on.

"You look lost." I turn my head and regretted soon enough. Rudra is looking straight at me, his eyes are so intense, unlike the other times he looks at me. They are not cold and distant.

"W-why do you want a baby?" I ask him and I see the very moment his eyes turns cold, aloof and distant.

He looks away from me and stares up at the ceiling.

"It's important."

"How important?" I ask.

"Very important."
