She took a deep breath stabling her breath, letting him pull away his face, her body stumbled as the realization of what she had just done washed over her. She had just willingly kissed him'allowed him to touch her'allowed her heart to feel and enjoy the moment.
She had opened her eyes allowing her gaze to meet with him and gulped down the air, there was havoc of emotions she could see on his face'his eyes were staring at her in bewilderment as he was himself wondered what he had just done. A faint color stained his lean cheeks as slowly his mind to gain back his strength and realization hit him hard'He kissed her'He just kissed her with all his passion, with all his heart. He still could feel the softness, wetness of her lips, her hands in his hairs roaming seductively, her willingly kiss'yes she had kissed him back too.
He wiped off his lips with his palm as if there was some way to wipe away this searing kiss but somewhere deep in his heart he had been confessed it wasn't possible'she had been getting deep into his roots'into his heart and it wasn't possible to pull himself away from her.
"I'm---I'm sorry"
The black hairs of her neck prickled as he apologizing tone hit with her ear drums'was he regretting kissing or was scaring off his emotions? She couldn't understand anything.
"I shouldn't have---do that"
His eyes shown the flicker of regret and she clutched the sheet in her palm tightly as somewhere she didn't like it. She didn't want him to regret but accept the fact whatever they did they did willingly. She felt angry at him to feel regret about that moment.
"you don't need to be sorry about'whatever happened "
She whispered, dry lips, his heart leapt at her weak voice did he say something wrong? he bewildered to see the gush of tears shimmering in her eyes and he gasped.
"Khushi"
His voice sounded with great concern but she didn't want to be fooled again'he couldn't feel those emotions for her that she felt for him. She swallowed the tears and met with his gaze.
She threw back her head and grasped the lumpy pillow beneath her head tried to cover her face with it. "I want to take rest."
Arnav just sat there staring at her, seeming a little perplexed as he was wondering why she was looking angry it was because of the kiss? Or there was something else there? He couldn't guess.
She intake a sharp breath trying to hold back her tears but suddenly the pain felt great not in her foot but her heart. She didn't know why she was getting angry at him for regretting kissing her? Why did she feel hurt?.
"Is it hurting?"
He rubbed her foot she was wincing it concerned him but She didn't answer .He let out the breath of panic and then not getting any response from her he rose to his feet and walked to the doorway, "if you need anything you can call me ,don't try to walk".
He turned back to look at her but she didn't reply he sighed walking out the room.
An hour passed since he left her in the room, he closed the lid of his laptop and kept it on the table, turned on his heels and walked out the study room. Is she sleeping or awake? What if she needs something? Thinking in his mind he walked towards their room.
Arnav stock his head through the doorway to see Khushi sitting up on the edge of the bed. She was looking pale and tired. He thought.
As she tried to stand on her heels she swayed a little and Arnav took quick steps forward to catch her, "you won't listen me ever'why are you trying to get up?" He gently helped her to her feet and she leaned against him, too weak to stand on her own. "Do you need something?" he said softly and she looked up and spat remembering his words after their kiss, "No'I don't need anything" She slid one foot forward, then the other, then swayed and fell against him again. He slid his arm around her for support. The feel of her hand on his chest sent a ripple of pleasure through him as she clutched his shirt in her palm, he tried to fight with the feeling she was aroused in him.
"You can't walk with your injured foot. Do take a rest and tell me what you need?"
He said softly meeting with her gaze and this time she didn't push him away or thrown out her anger on him but let her body lean over him but didn't say anything, the warmth of his strong arms, his scent was taking her breath away and she wanted to sink into him,Arnav stiffen when suddenly she slipped her arm around him and kept her head against his chest, it felt as she meant to be in his arms'it felt they meant to be in each other arms'everything looked still and he wished for a moment time would get still here, "I wanted to drink water but the jug wasn't on the side table that's why I slipped out from the bed" Her lips parted on a small gasp as she closed her eyes, soaking his scent in her and closed her eyes for a moment before jolting herself to keep these emotions back in her heart, "I bring water'you take rest" He gasped gently pulling himself back and she let him make a distance between their warm bodies, she looked up and when their eyes met she couldn't tear them away to see wave of strange emotions floating on his eyes too that she might wanted to see'her heart skipped a colour crept over cheek remembering the way she hugged him and let herself feel the comfort of his skin---his closeness.
Arnav saw the colour flushed over her cheek and her lashes fluttered in shyness as she looked down tearing her eyes away'her slightly parted lips trembled to see his gaze at her and he felt like taste them again, kissed them hard'sucked them until she throw herself at him'what's happening to me? Why I'm pulling towards her? Why I can't hold myself when she is near? Why I can't think anything but her? Why I forget everything when she is near to me? Why she is bringing those emotions in my heart that I used to think doesn't exist in me? Why I can't keep myself away from her? Why I want to love her? Why I want to make her mine? why I want to feel her close to me every time'every moment? Is it Lo---Love???he sucked in a sharp breath and dropped his gaze at her who was well aware of his gaze wasn't looking at him but anywhere still keeping her arms around him.
Precap.
"i---I want---you Khushi"her breath caught in her throat as his husky voice touched her ear drums.
