Bloodline Chapter: 7
THE DATE;II
"Geet c'mon princess, come down, Maan's here!" Her father called after and she knew "this is it" but she just couldn't move, her heart seemed to be thudding hard and loud and her palms were all sweaty, she was nervous, "hell! No! I don't wanna go" she mentally chided, but then she remembered her father's words, true she had to be sure about her decision this time before she gets into the relation, she too had queries, she too wanted to know what actually what prompted Maan to say yes for the alliance. With that she got up from her bed and strode out of her room and in a jiffy she was downstairs by her father's side.
"Maan do take good care of my daughter, I hope she has a good time with you, remember she is not your assignment but your would be life partner" with that Mr. Mohinder Handa gave his daughter's hand into Maan's hand.
"Don't worry sir, ehh sorry, papa, I'll take good care of her" replied Maan holding on to Geet's hand tight and looking into her eyes, as if boring into her soul. A shiver ran down Geet's spine as if tingling her senses, taking in his aroma she felt so possessed that she didn't even realized that Maan her led her outside into his car where she sat now, off to their destination. The mere thought of being alone with Maan and that too on a date had her paralyzed and perplexed. "For him it's no big deal, who doesn't know about Maan the charmer, the lady killer, he must have been on several dates before with numerous girls, his mischievous smile says it all, what's in store for me? Babaji please help!"
"Help! You need help Geet? why? Is the seat belt hurting? Or is it the AC, or let me guess, it must be me!" Maan said with a slow mischievous smile playing at his lips, with that he turned the car in a swift move.
"Oh no, not again, caught off guard, did I say all that aloud?" Geet murmured.
"Yes ,you did, you have been murmuring aloud your thoughts ever since you are in the car and let me tell you Geet, this is my first time as well, since it's my first date with my fiance" Maan replied looking deep into Geet's eyes. "now relax I'm no demon, only your would be husband, don't worry we'll have a great time, I have it all set and planned" Maan said.
Geet gave a weak smile but now she was all the more nervous, "set and planned!" she chided, with that her heart started beating more violently.
She remained engrossed in her innocent worries, when the car came to a halt. Maan got down and held the car door open for her, he smiled at her cuteness, she looked so cute! Indeed he is lucky.
To bring her out of her reverie, he snapped his finger's in front of her "hey Geet c'mon we are here, come."
Geet very gingerly held on to Maan's hand and walked out. Maan led her to the venue of their date and in the next moment she stood transfixed at what she saw. She was left mesmerized, spellbound at the beauty of what she saw now in front of her eyes.
There, just by the beach where the waves came and touched the shore lay a boat shaped canopy bed amidst the moon and stars. And right beside it lay a low table for two, with two wine glasses and a champagne bottle and flowers decorating the table. For a moment geet's eyes brimmed with tears of joy. "He actually planned all this for me! He did this for me! Hell yes he did it for me". She felt so happy and light.
Maan came from behind and held her and whispered into her ears "like it? It's all for you!"
She just murmured "beautiful" and Maan smirked to himself.
"Come Geet let's sit, already we have been standing a long while" Maan led Geet tOwards the canopy bed and made her sit down, next he went on to open the bottle of champagne. "I DON'T DRINK" Geet blurted out in urgency. Maan simply smiled and a held a glass towards her, "its for me, just take a sip, sweeten it with your lips so that I can drink the rest" Maan replied in his rich baritone voice giving Geet one of his burning gazes.
Geet blushed at his sudden bluntness, the color red creeped slowly and steadily into her cheeks making her look like an apple. She averted her gaze and looked down.
Maan smiled at her sweetness, he held Geet's chin and made her look at him "no more running princess, it won't help, after all we are going to be life partners, and I promise you one thing, in this life I'll never leave you alone Geet, you'll always remain cocooned safe in my arms forever . I'll never let any evil shadow fall upon you; I'll protect you, love you, and be by your side always through thick and thin. I know you have come for this date with numerous questions, as to why I said yes for the alliance just out of duty, or love or some other motive. Geet I just want to take this opportunity to tell you, that I said Yes because I fell in love with you, yes Geet I was always in love with you and the three years when you were not here I felt your absence. Your laughter, your innocent hazels, your beautiful face, your lovely being, I missed all of it."

His honest confession had Geet melted, she looked at Maan through her innocent hazels "I love you too Maan, I have always loved you"
They both hugged and stayed glued to each other as if time had stopped for the two. Maan looked into Geet's eyes, he saw tears, "what happened Geet are you not Happy?" "no, Maan I'm very happy, these are tears of joy" Maan leaned on to Geet and kissed her. Geet first didn't respond to the kiss since she was too shocked, she never anticipated this move of Maan. But eventually she found herself drowning with the kiss, his lips felt so warm, so much in command, it guided Geet into a totally different world, her knees felt like jelly and she swayed in Maan's arms. Their tongues moved in symphony with each other's and guided to a world of pleasure, their bodies fit brushed against each other emitting a fire within.
"Hmmm, she tastes so sweet, so soft" Maan was losing himself, he was tranced under the effect of the kiss. They both never realized when they were lying on the small bed with Maan on top of Geet kissing her. His lips now moved on her neck where he kissed her bit marked her as his own. Geet hissed in pain and moaned his name driving Maan insane with want. They had lost track of time, of place. Though it was a private beach owned by Geet's father, one of Geet's favourite spots, yet they had forgotten that they out in the open lost in their love in their moment.
Their trance was broken when a huge wave splashed at the shore hitting at the rocks nearby making a thundering noise.
They both felt embarrassed. Maan tore himself off Geet and helped Geet into a sitting position who was by now all pink,red.
Maan with downcast eyes said "I think Geet, its really late, we should go" though he really wanted to stay and drown in his passion yet this was not the right time.
Geet nodded in approval. She was still reeling under the effect of Maan's passion. She couldn't believe that they had actually swayed in their passion and gone that far in their love.
