Arnav stood outside Khushi's door waiting for her to open it...but when she kept him waiting for more than a minute he knocked again as khushi's voice came from the other end "Hold on Arnav...just on the phone with mamma" she said as he heard the lock being turned from inside and the door to khushi's room opened.

He walked in looking forward to kiss her senseless when he saw her long limbs rush off into the bedroom and close the door... "Khushi...what are you...?" he started saying when he realized that she must still be on the phone with her mother

He quietly made his way to the room's bar and poured himself a small scotch from the miniature bottles...he bent down to get some ice from the freezer section and took a sip of the fiery amber liquid, closing his eyes as the fire and ice ran smoothly down his throat...he had planned a lot of things for tonight and hoped that things went according to them...he heard the door to her bedroom open and her soft voice call out to him

Grinning into the glass he turned around to find her standing in front of him in a figure hugging white dress that seemed to have been made especially for her in the way it fit perfectly on her curves...the front was not too deep but the slight dcolletage visible on the broad neckline, moulding her, made him gulp...he took another sip of his whiskey as he lazily gazed at her splendid body...her mile long legs encased in sheer black stockings and the killer louboutins she had bought earlier in the day [see below]

"So..how do I look?" she asked him with her hand on her hip as he smiled appreciatively at her, a sexy grin adoring his face as khushi felt herself blush under his heated gaze "Do I really need to tell you that? I suppose my body is answering it better than my tongue" he said as khushi's eyes slid down his body and rested on his lower form, her mouth opened in a slight 'O'

"Seriously Khushi...please don't do that...I don't think I'll be able to take you out to dinner..." he said in a hoarse voice as khushi smiled seductively and walked slowly towards him...arnav stared at her, daring her to make a move when she quietly stood a foot away from him,...her finger raised but not quite touching him, she moved it over his face down his torso and ended at his chest "If this is what looking at me from the front does to you...what will you say about the back?" she asked licking her ruby red lips as arnav looked on aroused and completely clueless

"Huh?" he asked as she giggled and caught his hand... "Oh...you'll know in a second or two...lets go now" she said as she pulled him along with her walking backwards...arnav kept trying to make sense of what she meant when they finally walked out of the room and khushi left his hand to pull the door close... "What did you..." arnav asked her again when she turned around and started walking towards the elevator...only to glance back and notice a totally shocked and red faced arnav still standing at the same spot

"What? Oh...now you see what I meant!...lets go cowboy!" she giggled loudly as arnav finally came out of his trance and walked swiftly to her as the elevator door opened up...he quickly pulled a still giggling khushi inside and slammed his lips over her... "Ar,...nav...my...my lipstick" khushi said as his hands held her almost bare back possessively...his hands dipping inside the insanely low-cut back of her dress

"I...don't care" he said between kisses as khushi smiled against his lips, moaning as his hands cupped her bottom...only to hear him swearing "Khushi?...are you not wearing any..." he said as she pushed him away from herself and wiped her lipstick off his lips before looking in the mirror behind him and adjusting her own as best as she could "Relax arnav...i am wearing a thong..." she said winking at him as the elevator reached the ground floor...leaving arnav once again stunned and beyond doubt that today he was going to die.

...

"Where are we going Arnav?!" Khushi asked as she sat snuggled against arnav who kept running his hands over her tummy making butterflies dance in her belly...his touch was scorching her body and she rued her decision for wearing a dress that gave him access to so much of her exposed skin to explore...she swatted his hands as he chuckled into her hair

"You can't expect me not to touch you Khushi...do you even know what your'e doing me? I want you soo much right now that it hurts baby..." he said as Khushi looked over her shoulder and pouted "Aww...where does it hurt baby?...here?" she said lightly touching him between his legs, making his aroused member jump excitedly under it "Shit...Khushi...are you trying to kill me? Stop otherwise i'll take you back to the hotel" he said in a hoarse voice as as khushi pushed his hands away from her

"Well then same here...you stop your ministrations as well Mr Raizada...and now please tell me where are we going?!" Khushi asked him again as she curiously peered outside at the brightly lit area that they had entered into...she looked at Arnav and watched him smirk at her "We are here mademoiselle" he said as the car stopped in front of a huge theatre like place where an excited crowd was milling around the entrance...Khushi looked more closely as she took Arnav's outstretched hand and stepped out

"Oh My God! Are we at the Moulin Rouge?" she squealed in delight as Arnav wrapped his hand over her waist and led her towards the VIP entrance "Yes we are...and I have booked the VIP section completely for us...no disturbance..." he said huskily as khushi kissed him fully on the mouth, taking him by surprise "You are wonderful Arnav...how did you know I've always wanted to see this?" she said as she gazed at him lovingly while they were led by a uniformed guard to the reserved section above the main seating area

"Aman...its scary how much he knows about your likes and dislikes...and your preferences" he said as Khushi chuckled "Jealous are we?" she said with a smile as both of them seated themselves on the plush couch overlooking the main stage...a bottle of champagne was left beside them to chill with a variety of French nibbles arranged on the table "Not really..." Arnav said as he popped the champagne and poured it in two long flutes

"I know he is no competition for me" he said as Khushi raised her eyebrows "True that...but do I have to worry about any competition for me?" she asked as she clinked her glass with his "I don't think any woman can compete with you for my attention and feelings...no...no competition at all" he said leaning down to kiss her tenderly making Khushi's toes curl at the gentle caress of his lips

They sat entwined in each other arms as the lights dimmed in the theatre and the wonderful cabaret of Moulin Rouge started...Arnav watched as khushi's face transformed into one of pure joy and excitement as the beautiful troupes of dancers performed one by one...the shine from their sequined dressed reflecting perfectly on her animated face...making Arnav's heart sing...he felt at peace seeing her so happy and knew that he had fallen for her very deeply...the thought making him feel ecstatic and free...he tightened his hold on her as she smiled at him lovingly...he wished he could capture her smile forever.

...

"Thank you Arnav...this was...I simply cannot put it in words..." she said as both of them walked out of the theatre into the buzzing street...khushi had her arms around arnav's arm with her head resting on his shoulder...their stance spoke of togetherness and love making people around them marvel at the stunning couple "The night is not yet over...you can thank me later...in ways that will be satisfying for both of us" he said as khushi smiled and pinched him lightly on his arms

"What more have you planned Mr Raizda?" she asked him as they sat in the car again, the vehicle moving steadily through the throng of people enjoying the late evening activities around them "You'll see..." he said as khushi's pouted at him "Fine...but i'm hungry...I hope you will feed me proper food?" she asked with a teasing smile as he laughed heartily "How can I not feed you Ms Gupta?! The world will come to an end if you don't eat!" he said as khushi's mouth opened in an 'O'

"Close your mouth now before i'm tempted to kiss you again...we are here" he said as khushi looked out the window towards a pier...she could feel the breezy wind from the river caress her face as she stepped out from the car and started walking with Arnav towards a beautiful yacht tethered to the pier...'La Etoile' was written in a cursive font across the gleaming white mast

"Welcome aboard La Etoile!...I am Georges and I will be your captain tonight...your dinner will be served in a few minutes, please make yourself comfortable on the deck" a burly middle-aged man in a crisp white uniform said as Khushi's eyes turned to saucers...she turned towards a smiling Arnav who clasped her hand in his and led her inside the liner...she was speechless for a few minutes as a woman came and gave them fresh wet towels to refresh themselves before taking them towards the dimly lit deck, where a single table was set up for them.

"Arnav...I..." khushi said trying to form words... "Now do you understand why I feel weirded out that Aman knows your innermost romantic date wishes as well?" he said as Khushi sat down on the chair "A romantic dinner on the river Seine" she said dreamily as arnav sat opposite her and held her hand over the table "I wish to know all these things myself one day Khushi..." he said softly as khushi felt her eyes clog with sudden tears

No one had ever done something like this for her...ever...she closed her eyes and composed herself as she took a deep breath to calm her madly beating heart...she could not describe the way she felt about Arnav at the moment...or maybe since a long time now...she kept denying that maddening feeling she felt for him, something which she had never felt for anyone before...like she would cease to breath if he ever left her...she wanted to be with him all the time...he had come to mean soo much to her in such a short time that she kept trying to deny these feelings

She kept telling herself that that they were just dating...nothing was serious right now...it was pure crazy attraction they had between them and a wonderful friendship that kept them pulling towards each other...but this,...this was so much more... "Hey! Where are you lost beautiful?" Arnav asked her squeezing her hands "If I knew this would leave you speechless..." he said as Khushi tightened her hold on his hand making him look directly into her eyes

"Perfect...this is perfect...being with you here,...is perfect..." she said pouring all her feelings into her words...her speech wobbled as she tried to come to terms with the way Arnav made her feel...she looked straight into his eyes , a tender look in her eyes at the man sitting in front of her...the man who she had given her heart to...something she knew, she would never regret ever in her life "You are perfect" she said as arnav took a deep breath and raised her hands to kiss them lightly...their eyes conveying the three words which remained unspoken.

...

They did not realize how and when they ate their food...the calm soothing sound of the river lulling them into a state of oblivion where only the two of them existed...they stood in each others arms, swaying to a music their heart strings played at...their fingers entwined in each other as they gazed lovingly at each other, both coming to terms with the new feelings they had finally accepted for each other.

Khushi closed her eyes and lay her head against arnav's chest that rose and fell against the steady beat of his heart...she smiled as he pulled her closer while dropping small kisses over her fragrant hair...they stood like that for how long, both didn't know...only the soft call of Georges as they returned back to the port had them pull away and acknowledge the three people standing in front of them

No words were spoken as Arnav and Khushi conveyed their thanks to them and sat inside the car to go back to their hotel...the assurance of knowing what they felt for each other had caused this insane need of being with each other in every way possible, but the knowledge that the slightest touch would fuel their already intensified longing had them sit away from each other...waiting desperately for their hotel to arrive

The excruciating fifteen minutes of drive back to the hotel tested their patience as both could not wait any longer to be in each other's arms...they walked inside the hotel smiling politely at the staff as they walked into the elevator...the elation they felt at finally being alone was short-lived as the elevator door opened again and a family of four got it...they stood at the opposite sides of the elevator as it first opened on the floor below them where the family got out.

They stood motionless for another few seconds as the elevator finally reached their floor...Arnav was the first one to walk out followed by Khushi who walked at a small distance away from him...they saw another couple walk towards them and smile at them as they passed by...finally as they reached Khushi door, arnav walked a few paces forwards towards his door till khushi opened hers...she gave one last look at arnav before walking inside, keeping the door open by a fraction, to be opened and almost violently shut by Arnav who had her pinned against the door as his lips descended on her waiting ones.

She parted her lips beneath his as her arms wound themselves around his neck, pulling him closer to her body, She opened her mouth as Arnav slipped his tongue into the hot cavern of her sweetness, making her body shudder in delight as he made love to her mouth...his hands slid down her naked curvy back as they slipped once again inside the daringly cut dress to cup her bottom...left bare from the tiny thong she was wearing

Khushi whimpered as he planted her middle solidly against his, making her once again aware of his growing need for her...without any overt motion, she subtly undulated her hips making herself rub against him...she reveled in the sudden stiffening of his body as a guttural sound vibrated from deep within his throat making him leave her lips and breath erratically over her cheek...his nose pressed against her ear

"Khushi..." he said hoarsely as he once again captured her mouth, his focus solely on kissing her...mouth to mouth, wetly and wantonly...they lost count of the number of times they kissed each other or how many times their tongues waged against the others, making forays into their mouth...they never broke contact with each others lips even when they needed to breath or pause to catch their breaths...their mouths were still fused together as they slowly made their way into the bedroom.

Once they stepped into the carpeted confines of the cozy lit room, Arnav pressed her more firmly against his body, his hands going lower as his finger slid between her legs from the back...his fingertips just teasing and touching her already wet centre...her panties soaked from the throbbing need...Khushi jerked as his touch sent fireworks down her spine, her hands going to push his jacket over his broad shoulders

He pulled his hands out of her dress as he caressed her back once again before bringing them in the front to cup her breasts...he looked into the desire laden eyes of the women he was irrevocably in love with and felt his entire being shiver in anticipation of finally being with her in the most natural way...she moaned as he slowly rubbed his thumbs over her hardened nipples, now clearly visible under her dress.

Her hands fumbled with his shirt buttons she she bent forwards and nipped at his lips...he indulged her letting her play and tease and tantalize as she kissed him soundly, exploring his mouth with her hot tongue...he kissed her back with equal passion as she finally managed to take off his shirt...her hands moving over his muscled chest to pause over the buckle of his belt...his breath came unnaturally slow as her hands slid around his waist to take off the belt from his pants...he hardly waited a second before his hands went all around her body to find the zip to her dress

"Th..there is n..no opening...wait..." she panted as she bent down and pulled her dress off her...the second by second play of her body being exposed to arnav's heated gaze, making his mouth water and his arousal throb painfully at the breathtaking sight she made...when she finally took off the dress completely...he started at her as she stood in front of him completely bare except for the black lacy thong covering her feminity and the garters attached to her stockinged legs

"You are beyond gorgeous Khushi" Arnav rasped as he pulled her against his body, their naked heated skin coming in touch with each other for the first time, sending tantalizing heat coursing thought their blood at the delicious contact...Arnav lifted her up in his arms as he laid her on the soft cool bed and climbed in after her, pushing the lacy overlay away...he held her hands over her head as he bent down to take a pert blushing nipple in his mouth

Khushi moaned in ecstasy as arnav sucked her nipples, while his hand squeezed her ample breasts...she writhed on the bed as she dripped with need...her thighs clamping shut as she tried to reign in the unparalleled desire she felt for the man above her...he left her hands as he trailed his lips further down her body to reach her navel...his tongue dipped into the small indent while moving slowly towards her pelvis...khushi scrunched up the sheets in her hands as she anticipated arnav's next move

Arnav ran his hands over her silky legs clad in soft sheer material...he slowly unclipped the garter straps from the upper part of her stockings and kneeled in front of her to roll each stocking off her long smooth legs...he dropped small kisses all over her legs as he finally divested her of them...he bent down again and ran his hands all over her legs before parting them...making khushi gasp in barely controlled need.

He slowly pulled away the last piece of clothing on her before his mouth dropped to her inner thighs...he could smell her arousal, and the wetness between her thighs made his already hardened form ready to burst...he knew he had to be inside her soon...but he wanted to pleasure her as much as he could

"Ar...rnav..." Khushi moaned as he slid his tongue over her wet centre tasting her sweet nectar...her hands involuntarily went to her breasts as she squeezed them to stop herself from trembling...she kept moaning as he licked her core...before slowly inserting a finger into her waiting warmth making her buckle under his caress... "Please...I need y...you now...baby" Khushi said clutching her breasts more tightly as she felt the stirrings of pleasure resonate through her body

Arnav too could not hold any longer as he felt the liquid heat pooling at her centre...he quickly removed his remaining clothes and came back to kiss her swollen lips...he felt her hands over his back as she arched towards him making him groan at the way her sweaty body slid over his...he kissed the juncture between her neck and shoulder as her hand slid over his rock solid abs towards his pulsating member

When he felt her touch him and grip his arousal, he quickly pulled her hand away "No baby...not now..." he said huskily as she smiled at him, her eyes lighting up as he smiled back at her before settling himself over her...he teased her entrance with his hardened form before realization struck him...he quickly tried to pull back when Khushi's legs imprisoned his own

"I'm on the pill Arnav...since some time.." she said shyly when arnav looked at her with a questioning look...his half drugged eyes looking on in confusion as khushi slid her hands over his back "We don't need protection...its covered...and...and I trust you..." she said as arnav once again clamped his mouth to hers, too overcome with love for her...she welcomed his tongue into her mouth at the same time he slid into her hot slick sheath...the tight walls encasing him as he maintained a steady rhythm, imitating the same one with his tongue inside her mouth

Khushi moaned as he filled her up completely before withdrawing and pushing into her again...it had been a long time for her and her tight walls were extra sensitive to his thick long shaft, she dug her nails in his back and wound her legs more tightly around his thighs as she urged him to increase his pace...making him slam into her again and again

Arnav felt like he was approaching nirvana, his nerves were on tethers as he continued pumping into khushi...he held her by her waist as he latched his mouth to her reddened nipples making her moan loudly at the way their body came together so perfectly...as if they were two parts of a whole...he kissed and bit her all over her shoulders and neck before he buried his head in her dark mane

He could feel her body unravelling as her walls started stiffening around him...he thrust himself harder and more deeper into her as she bit his shoulder to stop from screaming out...Khushi could feel delicious spasms of pleasure run through her core as arnav kept up his pace...she threw her head back and finally screamed out his name as a deep and electrifyingly orgasm shook her up...her body convulsed to a shuddering climax as arnav continued his thrusts, making her hold onto him tighter

Arnav pulled her closer to himself as he felt her orgasm run through her...the shudders making his own body react completely in sync with hers as he too found his release a few seconds later...he kissed her deeply as he spilled inside her while she held onto him running her hands over his heated back...as both their bodies finally sated down from the high they had reached...arnav pulled out of her before lying on his back...he pulled her close to himself and smiled as she laid her leg over his possessively

"That was..." Khushi said panting slightly as she struggled to even out her breathing...she looked towards arnav who was staring at the ceiling with a serene smile on his face...he looked at her with a tenderness that made her heart thud against her ribcage... "I know..." he said as he bent towards her and kissed her on her forehead, moving her wet hair away from her face...he pulled the covers over their naked heated bodies before holding her to him, both drifting off to sleep as their satisfied bodies lay entwined with each other throughout the beautiful parisian night.
