They sat against the tree catching their breath holding each other's hands. With terror in their eyes, they scanned around their surroundings to see if they could spot anything. Nothing moving could be seen...and nothing heard...except the falling raindrops. They both closed their eyes simultaneously breathing a sigh of relief...now completely sure that they were safe.
Their car had come to a stop just outside the jungle as they were returning back to Delhi. A broken car, a beautiful girl and a wild forest...the setting was totally filmy and the downpour made it even more romantic. But it didn't help when the sound of a tiger's roar fell on their ears. Not left with much choice, they had run into the forest in the direction opposite to where the roar came from...staying there in the car would have meant inviting trouble.
He looked over at her and saw her head fallen back against the tree...her eyes closed...her lips parted as she drew breath in and out through her mouth...her chest moving in sync with her breaths.
They heard some rustling of leaves and got alarmed. They got up from where they were sitting and ran deeper into the woods. It was 15 minutes later that they found a barn. Without wasting another moment, they hurried their way into the barn and were pleasantly surprised to see it empty. He secured the door and closed the window while she simply rested against the cold wall.
He looked around and found some clothes which they could manage to change into...not the best choice but he didn't have any other left. While she found a flimsy band for a blouse and a long cloth to wrap around herself, he had nothing but a cotton cloth to wrap around himself as loongi.
A little shy to come out of her spot, she quickly walked to the nearest wall and sat down against it, bending her knees up to hug them. She stared at him as he came out in the loongi...his hard body making her insides squeeze hard. She looked away before she gave herself away completely.
He looked around and was lucky enough to find some logs piled up in one corner of the room. They were damp and small...and it took him an awful lot of time to create some fire...but he succeeded nonetheless. He piled only a few of them to create a small fire...enough only to get some light and heat in the room.
He came to her side and sat down beside her...holding her hand. She had her eyes squeezed shut so her mind wouldn't think of ways to relish his body and opened them suddenly when he squeezed her hand. They looked at each other for a moment before break into laughter. Their short leisure trip had turned out to be quite adventurous...and romantic. It would have been a disappointment if he hadn't taken advantage of the setting.
Their laughter stopped abruptly as they continued to look into each other's eyes'a new emotion now reflecting in them. His eyes fell to her lips where tiny drop of water lay flat, light reflecting off of them to make them even more enticing. Her heartbeat started to rise as he inched forward towards her. He raised his hand to hold her face as their bodies turned automatically towards each other. Her eyes closed on an exhale just as he captured her lips with his...taking her breath in his mouth as well.
The heat was now starting to rise...she could tell. She wanted to believe it was from the fire, but who was she kidding?! She could tell by her labored breath and her heaving chest that she was getting there...
He drank all he could from her lips...and then started a downward trail to her neck. Her head fell back and her arms wound around his neck holding him even closer. He started with trailing kisses on her neck...and then grazed his lips to be felt by every inch of his lips...and then his tongue did the enjoying before his lips came back to her skin to suck on it. While he took his time to enjoy her skin fully, all she could do was pull on his hairs and bite her lips to prevent from moaning. And yet, he heard a few sweet sounds here and there...which did nothing but drive him crazy.
He kept leaning forward until she now lay flat on the ground. She immediately rolled over to give him her back from shyness...she didn't want to face him. It was to his advantage she did that...because he found the knot to her blouse and pulled it open in an instant. She gasped so loud that his hands froze in position.
He waited a bit to see what she would do but she did nothing apart from hiding her face in her arm that was stretched out underneath her. His hands and lips took charge at her unspoken permission and began devouring her skin on the back all at once while all she could do was enjoy being touched...
She held her breath when his hands slowly started moving towards the side of her body. She knew where they were headed...and she became impatient with each passing moment. He took his time to first caress her skin on her waist and moved upwards to her belly and then up further...
A loud gasp escaped her lips against her wish when he grazed his thumb over her perked tip.
"Arnav'." She whispered his name with such softness that his entire semblance went out the window and he turned her around suddenly to face him. Her eyes were closed...her lips were parted and her chest was heaving. That was all he needed to see to move the sari aside and lower his lips to her tips...
She felt uncontrollable heat between her legs as he did magic with his lips and tongue. Unable to control her desire, she reached for his cover and tugged on it. He stopped and looked up to look at her in shock...and then began doing just what she was doing. In no time, there was no cloth separating them...it was heat to heat...skin to skin...
She forgot all inhibitions and shyness as they started to reach for each other's private zones. It was a cold stormy night but the room was hot and moist...and it became even steamier as they rocked on each other until they finally let go and fell asleep...
