"Hard to believe that. Your porcelain like skin is too smooth and blemish-free to be true." - did he complemented her or made fun as Khushi's assumed?
Which ever world or era it is the man is arrogant and handsomely so... "The attribute is purely my own creation."
And that stand true to the fact that it doesn't matter the genre of the fic is si-fi, because Khushi could still feel does butterflies and Dhak Dhak ...
"There it was again, Khushi realized, the unnatural symptoms... they had returned in full force, ...the tightening in her abdomen and the erratic palpitation,... she affirmed to herself, stomping the shot of thrill that went through her as she thought about the befuddling yet welcome effect that the stranger had on her." --- "She refused to look at him now, believing that it would lessen the impact of his hidden weaponry upon her." Oh my Chaitalee, you wrote it so well that this si-if investigation and the way Khsuhi is deciphering the new feelings in herself in the presence of this stranger is making all of it so hot!
"We do have a considerable lot of our kind, but would like to expand. Opting for natural means to do the same would be a tedious process" Seriously ???
"We need people", she heard him say, but from his look he could have been saying I need you'. They kept echoing in her mind, fanned by the tachycardia." Well this said otherwise.
"A sudden rush of warmth filled through her. As moments ticked by, her hand began to feel hotter than it had throughout her lifetime...his core body temperature was quite higher than the optimum human body temperature." ---- well what more evidence is required that he is sooo hot!!!😉
And you nailed it with the way you made Arnav utter "E.A.R.T.H".
Sorry Chaitalee, if I made your update sound how I found this arshi hot. But I thoroughly enjoyed it.
