His Journey Towards Euphoria#4 Link to thread 5 on PG 1

Part 31

Khushi wriggled little, murmuring something, half conscious. She threw her left hand to her right side, out of habit and slept flat on her stomach. She frowned immediately. Where has her hand landed? It was warm. She turned her head to her right, her head still on the pillow and she tried to open her sleepy eyes. Blinking several times she adjusted her view, only to widen her eyes seeing the face in front of her. His face was so close, her nose touching his. Khushi moved little back, her eyes fixed on his face. His mouth slightly open, breathing softly. His rough jaw, so fine. She lifted her eyes to look at his close eyelids. There was a scar on his right brow. Inching closer, she lifted her hand to touch his scar. Her face adorned a painful expression as if enduring his hurt which now stood as a visible scar. It must have pained him then. Khushi thought as she caressed his scar with her soft dainty fingers.

And then something happened that forced her breath to leave her body in a whoosh.

She looked at her hand, her palm touching his lips. And she was shocked at her own act as she pressed her palm more to feel his touch. A current ran from her palm and burst somewhere in her stomach. With her throat running dry with thirst unknown to her, she moved her palm from his lips to his jaw. Her eyes lifted to look at him, afraid of getting caught in her little act. Seeing his eyes still closed and breathing even, her hand started its exploration and now it rested on her place of amusement. She looked down at his stomach, her palm moved over the cotton shirt, trying to imbibe the warmth that was sipping from his body. It was hard as rock. Never before touched any men this way, her hands and eyes stared at his stomach amazed. She moved her hand from his abs to his chest. Her tip of fingers touched his naked chest as few buttons of his shirt remained open. His heart thudded against her hand violently, which was steady before.

Her shocked eyes jerked up to look at him, whose eye were open and were looking at her, the eyes which made her shudder and she pulled her hand back, all flustered being caught in her act.

But her eyes widened even more and her thudding heart was forced to stop as she felt her hand in his strong grip.

Arnav pulled her close, their head resting on the same pillow and nose once again touching.

"What were you doing?" his breath washed on her warm cheek and Khushi once again shuddered.

"I...I... Kuch... Kuch nahi ... Hum... Woh ..." Khushi spluttered, her chest again heaving rapidly.

Leaving his hold on her hand, his hand moved towards her waist as he pulled her body flushed against him.

Khushi's round eyes looked at him.

"This is the second time you are doing this. First time you had put the blame on Abeer, but today I don't see your Ebu in between us."

Was his voice always like this? Khushi wondered as his low husky voice caressed her red cheek and something fluttered in her stomach and spread an alien warmth inside her body.

"Hum...hum ... your stomach ... your stomach is so hard ..." Khushi spluttered something she don't know but looking at his face, she knew she had said something ridiculous.

Arnav's upper lip lifted in a smile as he looked at her cute confused face.

"That's because I sweat hours in gym, I guess?" He answered the question which she no longer remembered asking but her dazed eyes memorized every slight move of his lips.

Arnav's eyes softened and heart melted as he looked at her dazed and lovable face, captivating like never before. He saw her loose strands flicker across her alabaster cheek and something shifted in his heart. All the trace of mischief fled away as his eyes gleamed dark. Their face was already so close and he inched even closer. His hand which was resting on her waist tightened around and he shifted more close to her, if that was even possible. Their breath mingled as their lips rested just an inch away.

Khushi's hand fled to his shoulder as his lips touched hers and an ecstasy washed over her and left her weak in her knees. This was not like the first two times he had kissed her, today something was different. She don't know what, but she felt the difference. She felt the difference and her heart and body wanted to capture this exotic feeling she was living for the first time. Her hands found their way to his thick hair and her fingers lost in his soft dense.

Arnav nibbled on her soft petals, his hand running on her back pushing her against his body.

Khushi gasped, not at the things he was doing to her but at the desire running through her. For the first time she wanted this to never stop. She don't want him to stop and drown them both in the passion flying between them.

Arnav bit on her lips, urging her to open her mouth and she obliged. He slipped his tongue inside her mouth, wanting to devour every inch of her sweetness. He had had his fair share of foreplay during his college life, but she... she is heaven!

He deepened the kiss, feeling proud as he drank her every moan. He was not in his senses, floating somewhere beyond that. He left her mouth unwillingly as his lungs demanded some air. But not wanting to wrench away from her heavenly fragrance, he moved towards her neck, his lips burning against her soft skin.

Khushi's hand moved to the back of his neck as he left burning kisses on her neck. The feel of his lips against her skin not only touched her heart but scorched her soul, a burning feeling she had never encountered.

Arnav groaned in pleasure as her soft hand caressed his neck, her innocent touch doing things which can never be classified as innocent. His hand running on her back found her zip but before he can continue further he felt something near his leg. Grudgingly, he pulled away and looked at his leg.

He closed his eyes in displeasure as he saw who the disturbance was. He looked at Khushi, her eyes still close, cheeks flustered red and breathing heavy. He leaned over her.

"Khushi?" he called her softly and saw her slowly open her eyes, disoriented. He rested his palm against her heated cheek.

"I... I ... We.." She looked perplexed, her eyes searching for answers.

But he don't know how to answer her even as he knew what her question is. This was the same feeling he had gone through. But now he is beyond that. He don't know how far he has walked away from that feeling, but he knew she has just realized it. She is attracted towards him, the passion is very much visible amidst all the confusion and question floating in her eyes. The most vulnerable state. Possessiveness soared inside him as he saw the same vulnerability in her eyes. She looked so innocent, so vulnerable. Every fiber in him screamed to protect her. "Khushi..." he called again.

She blinked her eyes, her gaze fix at his face. What had just happened? She was floating somewhere. Her body burning, but still wanting to burn willingly. She felt her body still trembling.

"Khushi, Abeer..." He gestured towards Abeer.

Khushi followed his gaze and saw Ebu sitting near their leg. She again looked at Arnav ji, who again gestured towards Ebu. And she sat on the bed immediately.

Ebu, happy seeing his mother's face, speedily crawled towards her.

"Bu bu... Aaa Aaa Bu..." he jumped on his mother's lap, laughing at his small stunt.

Khushi's lips broke into a smile and she took him in her arms.

"Good morning..." Khushi greeted him.

Instead of greeting his mother back, he showered her face with soggy kisses.

Khushi laughed.

Seeing her mingling with Abeer, Arnav got up from the bed and walked inside the bathroom.

Khushi heard the bathroom door close and her mind again went to the happenings of the morning. She hugged Ebu close to her chest and closed her eyes.

"Hey Devi Maiya! What was that?" Khushi laid on the bed with Abeer. She had never felt this way before. Is this love? Does she love him? She has many reasons to fall for him but had got no signs till now. Khushi closed her eyes. "Devi Maiya, why don't you give me signs? Please give me some signs. Atleast three signs. Please Devi Maiya."

"Aaa... Aaa..." Ebu murmured against his Amma's neck.

Khushi pulled him away from her and looked at him.

"You want to sing or what? What is Aaa Aaa?" Khushi chuckled.

"Aaa... Aaa" he stretched more and laughed showing his tiny teeth.

Khushi joined him but soon was stopped as she heard her phone ring.

"Hello?"

"Khushi, are you alright? Is Chhote alright?" Nani's worried voice asked.

"Everyone is alright, Nani. You don't worry.." Khushi smiled as she replied.

Nani breathed in relief.

"Accha hai, Khushi. I am so happy you handled everything well. Ab ek kaam karo, you three stay there for few days. This will help you both" Nani suggested.

"But Nani.." the idea of them alone frightened her.

"No but Khushi. I will talk to Arnav. You both are staying there and that's final." Nani said and disconnected the call.

Khushi's shoulder slumped and she looked at her son, and he laughed.

"You are laughing on me? Laugh ... You laugh, jab Laad Governor will threaten to gobble you down just by his stern glare, tab aana crawling crawling to your Amma. Then I will also laugh.." Khushi said and saw his laugh die instantly as if understanding her. And this time Khushi laughed.

"Aaa... Aaa ... bu ..bu " he again crawled to her and climbing on her lap, hugged her stomach.

Khushi smiled and leaned down to kiss his hair.

"Don't you worry. Your Amma is always there to protect you, no one will dare glare at my Baby. And Laad Governor may not show, but he loves and cares for you." she patted his head.

Khushi looked at the closed door of bathroom. But what she needs to figure out is, her feelings for him. She needs to be clear with her feelings for him before she sets to solve the mystery called Arnav Singh Raizada!
