OMG - Awesome writing.
Bluerose - that was ... hottt!
Although it's (ALMOST) over, here's a bit I wanted to add - just to bring the characters of ASR and Khushi out again - Khushi's unfaltering faith in Devi Mayya and ASR's extreme faith in himself ...
Her head hit the bed, but was pillowed by Arnav's fingers ... firm, yet soft, warm and protective - as Arnav was. She closed her eyes - dreading what she though was going to come, yet extremely anxious and impatient to experience it at the same time ... she peeked with one eye and saw him looking at her. With one of his side smirks ... looking from beneath his lashes - haiii she was going to die tonight.
It's as if he read her mind, his smirk turned into a full fledged devils grin, and to top it off, he ran his tounge out to wet his lips, as if getting ready to devour his bounty ... and .. on comes a dimple on his left - haiii.
Khushi couldn't resist this - the devil's smile, the 'come hither' look and now the dimple! As if out of it's on volition, her hand went and touched that dimple. One. Simple. Touch. And Arnav froze. His Khushi, his hesitant, his 'I am too shy for this' Khushi, his 'I don't know what to do to please you' Khushi had touched him. His eyes burned, his body burned. His blood rushed to his groins and he couldn't think - he wanted to take it slow but she was making it difficult. Boy was she ... that look, that lingerie, and now the hesitant, shy virgin touch, with awe and fascination. No one had ever done that to him. Never. Undone him with just a single touch.
He just looked at her, and kept looking.
Khushi was frozen to the spot - not that she could move much with his sweet weight pushing her into the mattress. But she couldn't take it anymore, the heat, the blazing passion in his eyes, like he was about to lose control, but it all excited her. And scared her a little too. She shut her eyes and joined her hands in a fervent prayer: "Hai Devi Mayya, please hum pe rehm karna, aaj hum sab sahi keren, kuch ghalat na karein, aap hum p-"
Arnav grabbed her joined hands and pinned them above her head. "What the!! You're praying to Devi Mayya NOW???!!!" , "Now!!???" His blood was pounding, he was about to loose it and was trying to control his libido, and she was talking to DEVI MAYYA!!!. He vowed then and there to get Devi Mayya out of her mind.
"Is bed me sirf do logon ki jagah hai ... tum or mein. No Devi Mayya, got it?"
"Per, per .. hum to sirf ... matlab hum to ..."
"Shushhh Khushi ... ab mein tum se kuch poochoon ga"
"j .. j .. ji"
Arnav inched closer, still holding her hands hostage above her head. She was feeling exceptionally exposed and vulnerable in this position now. "I want to know, tumhein abhi kaun yaad aa raha tha"
"D .. D .. D .. De .. "
Arnav purred, and whispered ... "bolo ... bolo ... " and got closer. Switching hands, he still held her hands hostage above her head with his left hand, and trailed down his right one down her arm ...
"bolo ... kaun yaad aa raha tha ..."
"D .. Devi .. Devi .." she whispered, not able to get much more out
"Aur ab" and he touched her the same way she had - one finger on her cheek, just slooowwwllly inching it down from her cheek to her chin ... down further below to her neck.
"Bolo"
"Devi ... aaahhh ... D .. Dev ... "
"aah haan ..." He bent toward her ears, finger still moving down, trailing down her neck, touching the spot where shoulder met neck and stopping for juuussst a second to whisper "Aur ab bhi Devi Mayya yaad aa rahi hain" ... and then continued his journey with his finger. Down it went, leaving a trail of fire and goose bumps behind it. He got to her neck line and Khushi squeezed her eyes shut. Her entire body tensed in anticipation of what was to come ... her heart was hammering and she knew he felt it too, that ... Laad governer!
He brought his lips to her ears again, and she strained closer to listen to what he was saying and ... he snaked his tounge out to trace her ear. Her body went up in flames. She had never experienced that sensation before. She couldn't look at him, eyes squeezed shut, hands held above her head, him lying on top of her and all she could do was feel. Just feel.
"Ab ... ab kaun yaad aa raha ha .. "
"Aaahhh" She exhaled deeply and whispered "Hai Devi Mayya ... "
And Arnav smiled - He was liking this game. He wanted his name imprinted in her brain. His name she called while experiencing pleasure, pain or anything in between. He controlled destiny, not Devi Mayya, and he wanted her to think of him, not Devi Mayya. But he would use Devi Mayya's excuse to do what he wanted to her, if that's how Devi Mayya wanted it ...
"Ab bhi Devi Mayya ... "
He restarted his fingers journey ... Khushi's heart skipped a beat. His finger pushed the neck line down by a mere centimeter, and ... stopped. Right where her heart was. Right on her heart. He lifted his head and looked at her. Her eyes were squeezed shut. He pushed his finger slightly into her skin, right above her heart and whispered "Aur ab ... Open your eyes Khushi and tell me - aur ab".
She opened her eyes, but couldn't speak. Her lips tried to form the words 'Devi Mayya' but she couldn't get her voice to cooperate. He looked at her, looked at his finger and at teh skin exposed there and gave a devlish grin before he bent his head and replaced his finger with his lips. He. Kissed. Her. Heart. He placed the softest, lightest kiss on her heart, while looking at her through lowered lashes. "Is dil mein ab kis ki yaad hai Khushi?", he whispered.
And in that moment she lost all coherent though, all sanity.
Khushi arched her body up from the bed like a spring and whispered -
"Hai Arnav ji aap, sirf aap!!!!"
