The decision settling inside her senses, she broke into a small walk which turned into a jog and eventually into a long run, as she made her way inside the mansion, following the path, taking the corridor and finally reaching Arnav's room. As her little running stance took his posture vigorously removing his blazer from behind, she just rushed, landing herself into his arms, from behind, hooking her arms under his torso, burying her head over his back, even as his startled form, acknowledged the sudden hit of softness behind his back, all in sudden quick moments.
"Just stay where you are Arnav and let me speak, because if you turn around, I might not be able to look in your eye and still say this..."
"There is something you should really know..."
"Khushi..."
"Shhh... Arnav, please..." she pleaded bringing herself even more closer inside his back, causing him to arch his head back a little, owing to the sudden proximity, after such a long time of staying away.
"You are not the same Arnav and in many more ways. Whatever you did that day, brought me back to consciousness, but do you really think if I thought of you in the same way as the other men I have known, would I ever be able to come in terms with that fact?"
He tried to turn his head around, but she gripped his arm, tighter stilling him in her own way and all he did was grip her hand over his torso.
"Do you know what exactly about that day haunted me for nights all through my healing?"
"Your eyes Arnav. The way you looked at me, or rather the way you've looked at a half-dying person. Or more so, the way you've looked at me when I finally gained my consciousness. Every time before that I've seen men looking at me with every nasty emotion or intention, except the one you had for me that day. There was just something else, the mere memory of which use to awaken weird feelings inside me for days after that Arnav..."
"Khu..."
"That little memory imprinted inside my mind, the tender way you have looked into my eyes, even doing something like that to my body, you have managed to beckon such forbidden emotions within me which I never thought even existed inside me until then Arnav..."
"Which is why I was able to forgive or forget that easily because the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to know what was in your mind back then or maybe the more I wanted more of that look..."
"Khushi, just stop please..."
"----------The normal girl inside me always have craved for the very emotion I've witnessed in your eyes that day and so when I met you again in Goa, I behaved the way I did..."
"Arnav your touch enthralls me, somewhere I seek the attention
---you make me want to love myself...
--you make me feel beautiful...
Your proximity, introduces me to the one side of me which I never thought would ever exist again.. Arnav I..."
"Okay stop I get it!" he broke her off suddenly and in the next moment she knew, he turned around abruptly the force of his body pinning her to the wall and his lips came crashing down to that of hers, enveloping hers as he owned her, molding his body tightly to hers with his hands in her hair, clutching and caressing the strands with vigor. Every muscle, every plane of his was met by corresponding curves and softness, as his lips continued to invade her in that hurried way, urgently demanding her complete essence. It was like he just needed to taste her and he might even die if he wouldn't. Such was his mounting passion for her all these days while he was torturing himself with the little distance.
"Now, how does that feel?" he asked breathlessly pulling away and looking in her eyes, which at the moment seemed completely dazed.
"I, uh..." she struggled to form words, catching her breath being completely caught off the guard.
""------Good" he declared and bent his form his eyes lost in some possessed reverie as he picked her up into his arms, and carried her out of his room, towards the pool-side. Throughout the little walk, he held her eyes and it was like she was completely lost under his spell, allowing him to take the lead, diving deep into the passions emitted by his molten orbs. Just as he walked down the little steps of the swimming pool, wetting his form eventually and thus hers, she squealed, coming in contact with the water and instantly clutched his neck tighter, shrinking herself into him.
"It's not deep..." his whispered his voice hoarse as he finally made her feet rest the floor underneath the water. Keeping his complete attention to the way her eyes asked him several questions, he used his palm fetching some water and pouring it over the one side of her attire, gently cleaning the mud that has spilled a while ago. She closed her eyes in ecstasy, with his every touch, every tender way he cleaned the stains, ever little caress of his palm over her skin and she could feel herself getting lost into some saner world. His palms, touched the side of her face, her collar-bone, her one arm, as his fingers trailed down, pouring water over the stains towards the bent in her waist and just as he tenderly surfaced the soft area, she gasped, clutching his collar even as his another arm went around her, bringing her closer.
Treating her more like a porcelain doll, he undraped the saree and let the white garment trail over the water surface; he turned her around and worked with the few of the knots that held her blouse together letting the garment follow the trail of her saree; he massaged the exposed shoulders from behind even as her hands on their own accord veiled her bossom. He turned her around, completely getting aroused at the way her bossom moved with hyperventilation and keeping his eyes on that of hers, he unveiled her hands, slowly revealing her to himself and even as he processed his own uneven breathing, stumped by her beauty, he brought her one hand to place it over the place of his heart, removing the buttons of his shirt and looked right in her eye.
He used his other hand, the palm of which surfaced from her chin, sliding down to stroke the side of her neck and resting just above her breast. "Do you feel that?" he asked, referring to the completely accelerated heart-beats of both of them, echoing against each other's hands.
"You will be the death of me Khushi, and that's a lot more than all that you just said..."
She dropped herself into his arms, locking her bare arms around his neck, meeting his lips with same amount of passion she had just witnessed, their tongues playing along with mounting need with their almost naked forms pressing against each other, Arnav was completely engrossed in some kind of ignited zeal, while Khushi being locked to him from toe to head, possessed by his hands and mouth and tongue, she went down to ignominious defeat. Trailing his hands down the curve of her waist, unveiling the remaining of her garment, still captivating her in the kiss, Arnav hooked his hand inside her calf and lifted her off the water, locking her legs behind his back. He walked up the swimming pool, with her in his arms back into the room falling off over the bed, still kissing, as her hands messed along the forest of his hair, Arnav placed himself completely over her, invading, sucking and tasting her completely .
Few minutes later, having undressed himself, as he lay over her petite form, he found himself staring at the epitome of purity, for several moments, completely capturing her true self into his memories.
Having her right below him, even as he hovered over her naked form ever so tenderly, several little sighs escaped his throat, as he stared down at her, savoring her completely even with just his eyes. His hands caressed every curve in her body and soon his lips substituted his hands. He felt like he was driven by some foreign ecstasy, as he trailed feathery little kisses all over the smoothness of her skin. She shivered, as his lips sucked and tasted, her arms, her navel, her calf, melting her shivers into his gulps, suppressing her little distantly evident fears into his passion, unveiling her shy to his nurturing, it was like he was handling a precious flower, that righteously deserves all the treatment.
There wasn't an inch of her that he didn't taste -- from the base of her throat to the curve of her waist to the backs of her knees to her candy apple-red toenails. Khushi gasped when his mouth found its way back to her breast. She slid her fingers through his hair, needing something to hold on to. He suckled her nipples until they were wet, stiff, and sensitive, and she felt the caress in her blood, his need in her heart.
He stared deeply into her eyes, searching for signs of mendacity, but saw only leaping arcs of desire. He impressed a hungry, twisting kiss on her receptive mouth. Looking intently down into her hazels that were staring back at him dazed with desire, he held her gaze for a minute longer, even as his insides were mounting with increasing passion, his manhood arousing with each passing minute, yet, he just wanted for her to be sure.
She stared up at him, her eyes clouded with such huge amounts of passion, that Arnav never thought he would see in her eyes. The initial reluctance of exposing herself was gone, the earlier fear for his touch was long forgotten, the fear for the improper touching had definitely turned into something that she started engrossing, he could see that in her eyes; it was like after being touched at every nook and corner of her form, or rather after being nurtured, being treated like valued persona ever, he could tell she was relishing it all and he was proud, if he could even give a term to the widening of his heart at the mere realization of it all.
Boldness personifying her eyes, she smiled up at him, her hands lost in the locks of his messy hair, bringing his head down, and she arched her head up placing a full-mouthed kiss on his forehead, even little tear of joy escaped her eyes finding its way down into her ear. It was everything that he needed to hear from her; it was her own way of acknowledging everything they have had, her own way of telling him, that she needed this as much as he did. And the mere gesture, did it all making him to reflexively dry the little wetness in her eyes.
"Khushi, are... are you, I mean..."
She blinked her eyes rapidly locking them with him and the look of self-consciousness was right back into her eyes. "I.. just..."
"-----I had been one stubborn girl and h...he wasn't planning on forcing, it was, uh, it was all about t...train...training..."
"Shh, shh... It's okay, I was just concerned about..."
"I get it.." She smiled and nodded, assuring of everything else.
Overpowered by a new sudden accelerated passion combined with her assurance and lot more emotions that have been engulfing him ever since the times unknown, he entered her and just as he did so, her eyes widened, and she inhaled roughly causing her to gasp, owing to the sudden ache.
She immediately froze, steadying her with a hand to her hip, ensuring that neither of them moved.
"I'm sorry, Khushi," he crooned. He moved his hand to her face and began stroking her. That's the worst of it, I promise. Are you all right?' He scanned her face eagerly for any signs of tears.
But there weren't any. It wasn't as painful as she thought it might be. It wasn't completely comfortable either, but the sensation of having him inside her, the emotions she saw on his face, in his eyes, distracted her from the twinges inside...it was almost too much.
But somehow she knew she wanted more of this and them...she wanted to see him come apart above her and know that they had done this together. She wanted to find their own beautiful rhythm. The music swirled and rose about them, a tempting pace she was eager to match. She smiled, and he felt her smile travel all the way to his heart, allaying all his concerns. As they finally united, merging their worlds, meeting their colliding desires, as they traveled to the stars and the universe, setting their own journey, their own path, their very own pace and their own very routine, it just felt perfect.
He looked at her as if she was the only woman on earth, as if there was nothing else in their private universe but the two of them and the sensual music that floated in the air as Arnav made love to her, punctuated as it was by the noises escaping their chests. He took her to the climax, giving everything he ever had, accepting everything she ever gave, completing each other in every true sense of the world, intertwining into each other, truly and completely and thus, everything just felt right and they finally felt Entwined.
**
In the dark wee hours of the morning, as he shuffled inside the sheets, he extended his hand to feel beside him only to find the place empty. Confused, he turned around, lifting half of his naked form up looking around, which is when he caught the slight shadow visible from the pool side, owing to the slight moon-light, that peeped through the false-ceiling.
Smiling to himself, he got up, pulling over his pants, and walked out to find her, wrapped in nothing but his white shirt, part of which falling off her one shoulder, as she positioned herself on the rectangular cushioned table ahead of the pool, her bare legs arched up, crisscrossing with one another, her hands encircling her knees, as she looked deeply into the water to her side, lost and quite thoughtful.
"What's with you and a room with a water view?" she asked, her stance not making a move, acknowledging him even before he announced his presence. He smiled at the rhyme in the choice of her words and joined her on the stool, crossing his legs on either side, and pulling the tangle of her legs towards him.
"Just like you and words coated with thoughts?"
They chuckled together, as he started playing with the tips of her fingers. "Arnav..?"
"Hmm?"
"Can you promise me something?"
"When did you ever get a proper verbal answer from me for this kind of questions darling?"
"Never, but your one look would do.."
"Really? So let me look at you then.." he said and started staring at her in that adoring way and she burst out into another small laughter. "Stop it Arnav, I'm serious..!"
"Go, on spill.."
"Next time you have anything that's troubling you, you will talk to me instead of keeping it all inside..."
"Is that an order?"
"A request..."
He rolled his eyes thoughtfully before locking them back to that of her boring gaze. "On one condition..." She just arched her eyes-brows urging him to continue. "Next time you want to make love to me, you will literally ask for it, like you just did..."
Her eyes went wide, her lips rounded and she stared at him open mouthed for good few seconds before using her petite hands to slap across his bare arms, her little protests echoed along with his loud laughter, as he threw her over his shoulder and carried her all the way to bed, reliving the whole of enthralling they just discovered.
And thus, the journey of Arnav and Khushi, towards each other, finally found a home, where a new journey towards life, together, is all set to begin.
Tere jasbaaton mein, mehaki si saanso mein, ye jo mehek sandili si hai
Dil ki panaaho mein, bikhari si aaho mein sone ki khaaish jagi si hai
chehare se chehara chupaao, sine ki dhadkan sunaao
Dekh lo khud ko tum aankhon mein meri ,
aankhon mein meri . aankhon mein meri aankhon mein
labon ko labon pe sajaao
kya ho tum mujhe abb bataao
