Chapter 9

While Arnav stood frozen in anticipation, Khushi gently placed her right palm over the left side of his chest. She could feel his heart racing fast matching with the her own pace. She pressed her palm a little more firmly into his flesh and looked into a pair of startled eyes. She gulped and started moving her hands over his bare chest slowly. Her tentative touches over every inch of his bare body gave Arnav goosebumps and he closed his eyes in excitement.

Khushi trailed down his body slowly with her finger, feeling every nook & corner of his chiseled body. Arnav let out a soft moan, as she tentatively inserted her index finger inside his belly button. Khushi could almost feel his excitement as his muscle stiffened under her touch. She swallowed hard looking at his hardened buds and tentatively touched one with her thumb. She could hear Arnav groan and within seconds she was crashed into his hard body in a tight hold and his mouth came down to ravage her again.

Arnav started kissing & biting her neck and moved down to her cleavage while his hand was busy unzipping her dress. Enjoying every bit of Arnav's assault on her, Khushi did not even realize when her hands went down fidgeting with the button of his pants. Her action only drove Arnav crazier & he started to pull down her dress, opening up more of her skin to his assault. In daze, neither of them figured out how & when they disrobed each other & landed on the middle of the queen size bed.

Both of them could feel their body in fire & they tried whatever they could to tame it. Their efforts turned futile as they kept burning with insatiable desire feeling each other with every part of their body. They touched, they kissed, they munched, they groaned – still they could not get enough of each other.

Arnav's body had never responded to anything like it was today at her tentative, novice, playful touches. Khushi, on the other hand, was as much engrossed into discovering the mystery of Arnav's body as she enjoyed Arnav's sweet assault on her. They explored every single part of each other' body with their fingers & mouth and both were on the verge of explosion.

As Arnav could no longer control the throbbing pain in the lower part of his body, he rolled over Khushi, pinning her hands over her head to the bed, settling himself aligned with her body. He searched Khushi's eyes to know if she was ready. Khushi's eyes twinkled in anticipation as her breathing hitched. She let out a soft moan as she proceeded to tell him she needed him.

"Aa-rnaavvv .." Her breathing was heavy.

Arnav understood and slowly he pushed himself inside her, staring at her flushed face with closed eyes, breathing heavily. He felt her body stiffen under him but a strange smile crept up his lips as he could feel the barrier preventing him to enter her fully.

"Khushi .." He murmured.

"Hmmm .."

"Khushi look at me .."

Khushi opened her eyes slowly to meet his eyes, eyes full of an array of emotions – desire, happiness, contentment and something else.

"Thank you ." Arnv mouthed.

"Hmmm?"

"Thank you .. for choosing me .. to be the one .." He murmured and pecked her lips.

Khushi understood. A small smile appeared in the corner of her mouth. Arnav smiled back.

"But I have a confession to make .."

Khushi stared at him questioningly.

"I neither had nor have any intention to disappoint you, Khushi Kumari Gupta .. I want you to have me, as I am .."

And with that, Arnav broke through the last barrier to claim her womanhood while kissing in her shriek at being a complete woman.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Arnav's eyes opened to an unfamiliar room, feeling fresh from a sound & contended sleep. It took him seconds to understand where he was as events from last night flashed through his minds. He quickly turned on his side to find the bed empty. He could hear the shower flowing and his heart eased. He gathered his clothes and started to dress. As he was buttoning his white shirt, Khushi appeared in the room in a white bathrobe, her hair tangled up with a white towel. Khushi's cheeks instantly reddened as her eyes met his.

"G-good Morning."

"Morning, Khushi." Arnav gave her his beautiful lopsided smile. "Can I use the washroom?"

Khushi nodded approvingly and moved to get her clothes from the closet. Arnav freshened up & put on his sneakers, ready to leave any time. His eyes set on Khushi who was trying to dry her hair off. The bathrobe was tied tightly but part of her neck & shoulder was exposed. Unaware of Arnav's presence, she tried to shake off water from her locks. She pulled her hair on one side over the shoulder & started to pat with the towel while the other side offered Arnav a sensuous view of her wet nape & shoulder. Water drops on her bare skin were gleaming in the sunrays peeping in through the window.

Arnav could not avoid the invitation and he slowly walked up to her. Khushi suddenly got aware of his presence behind her and her hands froze. Before she could move, she felt his lips touching her nape. Khushi stood still, with her chest heaving, as Arnav continued to place soft kisses across her nape & shoulder. The soft kisses gradually turned to intense ones, followed by suckling & nibbling. Khushi breathed in hard as his hands reached the knot of her bathrobe. While continuing with his assault on her shoulder, Arnav smoothly untied the knot of her robe.

The passion was ignited once again.

As Arnav was proceeding to open up the robe, both of them were jolted back to reality by the door bell which was now ringing for nearly a minute. Khushi quickly moved away from a still leaning Arnav & composed herself.

"Th- that must be room service."

She failed to meet his eyes and went for the door. Coming back, she placed a food tray on the bed and looked up to Arnav, not meeting his eyes.

"I hope it is ok that I ordered some breakfast for us."

Arnav did not say anything. He pulled the chair near the bed and started having breakfast sitting on it with his legs on the edge of the bed. He seemed relaxed and comfortable. Khushi too joined him settling herself on the bed.

The breakfast was done without any words. As soon as his breakfast was finished, Arnav stood up.

"So, I will take leave now."

Khushi nodded.

"So .. Bye, then?"

"Bye, Arnav."

Arnav tried to set his eyes on her but she was constantly looking away. She would not talk to him normally now, Arnav figured. He shrugged and left, leaving a flustered & flushed Khushi behind.

After three hours, Khushi was in her meeting with a client when her phone beeped. Laad Governor had texted.

"You didn't tell me my score."

Khushi chuckled. She typed in.

"I have not decided yet."

30 minutes later again her phone beeped.

"Are you disappointed?"

Khushi swallowed at the question. She knew the answer to that question but she was not sure whether to let him know that. After fidgeting with her phone for 15 minutes, she finally typed in.

"You cheated."

Arnav smiled generously as he read the last message sent from Khushi.

"Would you like to give me another chance?" He typed in.

The reply came almost in seconds.

"NO!!!"

Arnav laughed this time. He could read a lot through that one word. He typed in another SMS before going back to work.

"Meet me in AR at 8. I am yet to know my score."
