Chapter 9

As he had moved slightly away from her, Khushi felt the cool air as it blew gently over her much exposed shoulders and legs. He was still kissing her shoulders but her mind was coming back from the exquisite place it had gone in to in Arnav's arms. She shivered slightly.

No! She could not allow this. She was not a fool. She might not have known how to kiss back and she might not have all the details but she knew very well that what was building up between them rapidly was only allowed if one was married. In particular girls should not allow any man to go that far without marriage. Maayi's warnings and teaching came rushing back.

She slid her arms around her chest and held tightly and Arnav's hands which were at the neckline of her blouse, slowly pushing them down met a resistance; the band of Khushi's arms. Her hands held tightly, anchoring the blouse to her chest, just at the point where she was less than an inch away from exposure. Her shoulders hunched slightly.

Startled at her resistance, Arnav drew back.

"Khushi?"

"Nahi."

"Huh?"

"Maharaja Saheb, this cannot be."

"What?"

"Not like this."

Arnav frowned and shook his head slowly in order to focus. He had been caught in the storm of passion when she called a subtle halt and it took him a few minutes to come back. He kept his eyes on her while he fought to get his breathing and raging passions under control. Her slightly defensive posture maintained, his little gypsy avoided his gaze.

When he was sure he could speak clearly, Arnav tried to make sense,

"Khushi, what happened?"

"Maharaja Saheb, I cannot do this. Not like this."

He frowned and her phrase stuck in his brain; 'not like this'. Of course not like this, Arnav realized. In the middle of the night and the forest, lying on the hard ground; Arnav didn't know what came over him. A beautiful angel like her didn't deserve this atmosphere when they made love, he realized.

She deserved a setting truly worthy of her delicate beauty. Even though his body was screaming for release, Arnav didn't try again. No, he would wait until better surroundings were arranged for them. The wait would make possessing her all the sweeter. Reluctantly he drew back, murmuring,

"Of course Khushi, not like this; I just lost my head for some time. Relax and get dressed sweetheart."

He stood up and walked away to give her some privacy; she was so incredibly shy!

Grateful for his understanding, Khushi nodded her head and turned her back towards him even though he had moved away. He understood; that was the uppermost thought in her mind. He knew it was not possible for them to be together like this, without marriage vows. After all, if he didn't understand, he wouldn't have stopped, would he?

Having walked away, Arnav leaned against a tree trunk and waited until a small sound made his turn around. She must have got dressed, he thought, turning around. No she hadn't, he realized and stared

She was turned away from him and was pulling her blouse back in place, her movement's jerky. The pale slivers of moonlight fell over her naked back and he groaned inwardly. Was there any inch of her that was not beautiful, he wondered. Even her back was beautiful; fair and slim with narrow shoulders and delicate bones, it was a smooth expanse of skin. Feeling guilty of looking at her, he turned around again, wondering how she would look in a sari with a low backed blouse!

Khushi finished putting her clothes in order and walked towards him. Her bangles alerted him and Arnav turned around. She stood a small distance away, looking ill at ease and at the ground. Arnav closed the distance between them and slid an arm around her slim frame.

"Give me some time, will you? I'll arrange things so we can be together finally," he murmured. She remained quiet, replying with a quick nod. He gathered her closer with an arm and grabbed Sultan's reins with the other. He walked her back to the tribe and at the edge of the forest, they stopped. He kissed her again and she clung to him, the soft tinkle of her jewellery providing soft music around them.

He let her go and she quickly darted to the nearest tent. Pausing with the back flap in her hand, ready to enter, she turned around to see him staring at her. He raised a hand in farewell and she waved quickly before disappearing inside while he walked back.

That night the quiet and sometimes sad Khushi fell asleep with a smile on her lips as she dreamed of her Rajkumar. He understood about her reservations and accepted them. As soon as he had arranged things, he would talk with her Maayi. The only cloud on her horizon was if his family would accept her. But no matter, she thought. She would try her best to win them over, to fit in his world.

In the Maharaja's chambers in Devgarh Palace, Arnav made a mental note to ask Aman to find out about suitable mansions in Rajasthan where he could keep his little gypsy. The mansion would have to have large and extensive grounds so that his little gypsy could run around. He had no wish to imprison her in a house where she could not be free!!!

Awesome update...beautiful.
So Khushi had the good sense to stop Maharaja in time and said 'not like this'.
Arnav on the other hand did not really understand the implication of her words...Khushi was talking about wedding vow.
Maharaja is now thinking and trying to arrange a proper plan of seduction in a grand venue and I think he is also planning to keep her there for his pleasure or a play thing...as a Mirtress...not uncommon in royals, it was a comman practice.
The million doller question is will Khushi accept this...I don't think so...we are headed to a big confrontation because at the moment their lines are crossed and they are not on the same page but soon enough they both will understand eachother's point of view and when that happens I can just imagine the heart break poor Khushi will go through.
Faboulous story...love the way you are telling this tale.
Not to worry about the number of updates because of Ramadan, you enjoy yourself.
Will wait for the next update eagerly.
Thanks for the PM.
