Chapter 1

She opened the windows, witnessing the jubilant atmosphere of Holi ; the colorful cloud of Gulal managing to make its way over her first floor window. A soft sigh escaped her lips, as she saw people dancing around joyously applying colors without a care in the world. This was one of her reasons of choosing this particular place to live. Irrespective of the fact that she lived in a one room shabby old flat and she had to continuously bear the condescending glances of people around, but she could care less. She was a club dancer, equivalent to a wh**e for residents, but she did what she did to finance her dreams.

Today was different; it was the day of colors. There was no work today and she had the whole day to herself. Kria went out to take out a simple saree, something she had given up a long back, but she felt like wearing today. Away from those suffocating and revealing costumes of dance, it gave her the feeling of normalcy. That still, her world was the same as she had left back then. She stared over her reflection, over the girl... the woman she was before the city tainted her. Sometimes she felt like just running away, but she knew it would be a futile attempt and she would be sucked in a deeper black hole than she already was in.

But times like these, she would allow herself to mingle in the festivities; the one time she would open her heart out.

To allow her heart to be rejuvenated.

To allow it to function like how it is supposed to be.

To let the guards down.

And to allow herself a refuge from people's judging looks... well except for one.

She was different - his heart called out. And he happily conceded to the fact.

He had grown up in that place whilst his mother had broken her back to provide him a decent life. His reason for not leaving that shabby old building was that he felt closer to his mother. So when she had walked in the adjacent residence, he hadn't cared at first. But seeing her work like that had laid foundation of a cryptic sympathy. He felt this connection, a sense of warmth radiating from her... a semblance of something lasting in his lonely world. He was reminded of his mother's affection seeing her working like that and not to forget the desires of his wanton self. It was an unusual blend of emotions. He wanted her... desired to ravish her like a beast, but an acute feeling of protecting her also enveloped him. While he wanted to protect her from men like him, he couldn't fathom how to categorize the man inside him. It was so disorienting.

Nevertheless, he never gave up.

"Hey, Reyansh..."

"Happ..."

The words died down halfway through as he took in her appearance. Of all the times he had seen her, she had never looked so serene. She looked ravishing, sexy yet beautiful but never liked this. He took a sharp intake of breath trying to calm his senses down to form a coherent reply.

"Happy Holi, Kria."

Saying so, he came forward to apply color on her face, but stopped. Kria saw the hesitation and silently thanked him.

"Happy holi to you too."

She smiled applying color over his face. He grinned and then took the colors to apply over her face, his hands lingering more than necessary, but nobody minded. There existed a silent acceptance and that was what made Rey hold onto her.

**

"You look beautiful. You should wear it more often."

Rey spoke as they walked down the alleyway to where everyone was playing. Kria wanted to maintain a distance, so they didn't go down to the playing area.

"Well, a club dancer dancing in a saree isn't really that of an eye catcher. Now is it? And besides, I am paid to look sexy, not beautiful."

"But you are both."

Rey spoke out inaudibly, but she heard it and it made her blush. It was always like this; they were so aware of each other's presence that no movement went unnoticed. He actually cared for her. And that made her heart flutter, but she chose not to be vocal about it. She didn't want a spur of pleasure to deteriorate the semblance of normalcy in her life.

Kria was so lost in her contemplation that she didn't notice Rey gulp the glass of thandai. It was then when he brought a glass for her that she noticed he was high.

"Kria... drink this. It is so tasty."

"Rey you are high."

"Yes I am..."

He nodded like an obedient child.

"We should get you home, before the mayhem increases around."

"Yes we should."

Rey agreed like a boy scout listening to his instructor. The Holi celebration was on high and the colors were flying everywhere as the mass increased. Kria pulled him to a corner so that she wouldn't lose him in his almost drunken state.

"Lets go home."

"No I don't want to go to home."

"Why so?"

Kria asked irritated looking here and there as colors started falling over them.

"Because I want to do this..."

And with that he took her lips in a sweet, endearing but intense kiss. Clutching her waist he pushed them against a wall as he continued kissing her. The kiss wasn't domineering or forcing. It was a simple play of his lips over her, worshipping her, caressing her and conveying the underlying feelings to her.

He wasn't harsh but soft.

It wasn't rough but gentle.

He broke off panting, their breaths coming out as gasps, as he rested his forehead against her. He stood like that breathing heavily as if saying - This is how much I want you.

Kria had her eyes closed during the entire kiss scared that it was a dream. She was vaguely aware of her body hitting against the rough surface of the walls. She hazily remembered his hands playing havoc over her waist. All she remembered or rather her thoughts were consumed by the play of his lips against hers. He hadn't been demanding or harsh like other men before. He had been soft, gentle, soothing and smooth as he took her lips into his. It was as if he was embracing her through interlocking her lips with his... delivering a far-fetched promise of caring forever. She was almost drawn into the feeling when she realized that he was high. Gathering all the strength she could, she distanced herself from him and spoke.

"Reyansh... don't do something that you may regret..."

"Shhh..."

He silenced her placing his finger over her lips.

"My only regret is that it took me so long."

He whispered softly staring intently into her chocolate orbs.

"But you are high... it could be just..."

"Yes am high... but not high enough to not realize what I am saying... and surely not high enough to say what I am about to say now... Allow me to pleasure you..."

And as if on cue colors fell over them, as he stared into her eyes waiting with anticipated breath for her response. He could see her hardened eyes, not giving out any emotions or flickering enough to allow him a read. So he waited... waited for any kind of response she might bestow upon him. And after what it seemed like eternity to him, she shied away from him and that was all what he needed.

**

The sounds of the dhol and people rejoicing reverberated in the entire locality, but for them it was the sound of their hearts beating in anticipation that seemed to echo inside the room. Rey closed the door behind him as he came closer to Kria, who was taking a step back with his each step forward. His face had a soft expression, as his eyes caressed her body making her conscious. It was the first time she was feeling like this - conscious of her ownself and what was about to come. He took calculated steps towards her as Kria stood against the wall unable to move any further. Holding her face up to lose himself in her chocolate orbs, he saw multitudes of emotions flashing in them.

Rey held her carefully, letting his hand down to settle around her waist. He drew circles in rhythmic pattern trying to ease her into the transition and he felt her relaxing. He came closer and closer with every passing moment and stopped just millimeters away from her lips. His hot breath fanned over her swollen pink lips and in a reflex she closed her eyes shut. He took his own time, admiring the perfect contours of her face - the hue on her cheekbones and the way her lashes covered her skin. She was the most beautiful existence on earth - he felt witnessing her like this... pure and pristine. Slowly and steadily cupping her face, he descended his lips upon her capturing them to suck her essence.

What started as a slow kiss soon turned into a moment of unbridled want and desire. As his lips touched hers, she gave into it almost immediately, her hands instinctively travelling around his neck capturing the moment. She held onto him, as her lips held their own stance kneading upon his trying to dominate the moment. He clutched her waist firmly in response making her bosom rub against his chest as he kissed her with unrestrained passion and pent up desire. The kiss in the alley was a reassuring one, conveying some latent wished. But this... this kiss was completely out of their need and desire to have the other. He continued kissing as he dug his face in the crook of her neck inhaling her fragrance letting it control his actions, as his hands worked upon her saree, letting it fall down. She wrapped her legs around his waist, as he carried her to the bed; her hands clutching his hair firmly, as she delivered kissed torturing his insides.

The way her hands moved over him, he felt a pang of jealousy thinking about all the possibilities of others. He wanted to mark her as his, but he felt incapable of doing so. His hands stopped and Kria felt the change in the heat building up in the atmosphere. Opening her eyes, he saw her hazel orbs staring into her, his face constricted of some emotions unknown to her. She lifted her finger tracing his face and feeling the day old stubble and the coarseness due to it. Slowly she brought his face towards her as she simultaneously arched herself meeting his lips midway as she started kissing him. She traced his lips with her tongue appreciating them, savoring their taste. Her tongue sought entrance and moved inside relishing over the feeling that it ignited in her. With every circle of her, Rey felt losing himself in the heat of the moment, forgetting his worries. Closing his eyes, he crushed her beneath him and his tongue fought for dominance. Soon enough the moment was turned into a clash of dominance. It was good that festivities were going on outside as they continuously groaned the other's name out loud.

Rey got rid of her blouse and the skirt followed the same route. He bit over her bosom earning a growl and he knew he had struck the right chord. He smirked inwardly as he rubbed against her tantalizing her senses. It took everything in Kria not to just give in but she was at loss as Rey's hands expertly moved over her naked form and his mouth delivered continuous bites all over her curves. With every kiss, she could feel the heat building inside her and the need to feel him reaching heights. She dug her fingers over his back almost tearing the fabric - was the ardor she felt for him. She growled conveying her impatience and clawed him like a hungry tigress making him groan. In the spur of the moment, his clothes were seeing the face of ground, as he hovered over her making her impatient. She arched up trying to feel him, expressing her desire and he felt a surge of pride wash through him seeing her like that, writhing for him. He had dreamt of this moment for so long, having her under him squirming for him and when it was finally happening, it was so... words fail to express him. Conceding to her desire and the burning need inside him, he filled her experiencing the wave of passion running through their bodies, as they came together and collapsed in each other's arms.

Kria woke up, finding herself in unfamiliar surroundings, but the situation highly familiar. She glanced over the body nearly sprawled over her and a hand clutching her waist firmly. It was then she realized what had transpired between the two of them. She wanted to laugh at the destiny's play. She had vowed never to cross the line with him... but it didn't take a moment for her to succumb to the desire when situation presented itself. She knew the drill now. One of them would have to walk away and that would just be end.

He had said he won't regret it. But she knew he did because he had stopped in between. She remembered their first round very vividly - the blush still covering her face at the mere mention. He had stopped... she figured it was due to the bhaang wearing off. Her conscious mind had screamed her to stop but she was so blinded in the moment that she hadn't paid any heed and had tempted him instead. She tried coming out of his grip so that she could leave before he came back to his senses.

"Stay..."

He mumbled in his sleep. He turned towards her holding her more firmly not letting her go. Kria couldn't help but be flustered. In that moment she knew it wasn't lost... the connection. To convince her heart, she tried once again to get rid of her grip... desperately hoping for him to stop her... and he did.

"Don't leave... Please stay... Kria..."

And she knew... in that instance she knew... he was there for her... like she would be there for him. And she snuggled into his chest, as he brought her closer... to him... to his heart.

So here's the end.
