Chapter 1

He took her face in his hands, after brushing away the one strand of hair that was lying across it. She closed her eyes, feeling his breath against her face. She was breathing heavily and his heart was beating fast. She couldn't believe what was going to happen, but she knew she wanted it; she wanted him to kiss her, claim her as his. He couldn't wait to kiss her, ever since he saw her earlier that day, he knew he wanted her, he couldn't wait to make her his. He slowly brought his face closer to hers and their noses touched. She grabbed her saree, her whole body was tingling with excitement at the thought of what was going to happen next. As their lips touched, she grabbed his arms; she thought she would faint. He had kissed women before, but this kiss was different; he felt alive. He took her in arms tightly, and kissed her deeply, his tongue exploring every corner of her mouth. He pressed her body against him and pushed her against the wall. She pulled his hair and pressed her fingers on his back. He kissed her neck and her shoulders and she squirmed with pleasure. Still kissing, they moved to his room. He sat her down on the bed. He couldn't control himself anymore; he kissed her neck and her shoulders and slowly removed her pallu off her shoulder and looked at her. Her eyes were closed, she was breathing heavily. She felt faint; she had never felt this good ever before. She was happy, happy to realize that he felt the same way about her, that he had felt the attraction too, the unspoken bond that had gotten so strong that she couldn't stop thinking about him, she could see him everywhere, he evoked in her feelings that she never felt she had, emotions that she had never experienced before. As she felt her pallu being pulled off her shoulder, she grabbed onto his shirt. She couldn't figure out why she wanted to touch his chest, feel his heart beating for her, just the way her heart used to beat faster whenever he was around. He realized what she wanted, he tore his shirt off him and threw it to the side. He moved closer to her, she moved away, but he pulled her back into his arms and she crashed against his chest. She kissed his chest softly and that sent jolts of electricity down his spine. He bent down to kiss her neck and her shoulders. There was a cold breeze suddenly and they shivered. She opened her eyes and saw him looking at her, shocked. She looked down and quickly pulled her pallu back to her shoulder. He got off the bed and moved back. She looked at him, her eyes filled with tears. She looked around and realized that she was sitting on his bed. She got up and moved away, hugging herself, tears rolling down her cheeks. What had she done? What had happened between them? She looked at him. He was looking confused. He closed his eyes; what have I done? Why couldn't I control myself around her? How could I do this? They awkwardly looked at each other, wondering what the other person was thinking? The lights were shining brightly outside, they could hear firecrackers outside; everyone was celebrating the festival of Diwali, while Arnav and Khushi were in Arnav's bedroom in Shantivan; furious at themselves for not being able to control their emotions.
