17 ~ Burning Together ~

Flashback.......

On The Day of Holi...

Poolside...

RM....

" Khushi...." Arnav's husky voice draws her attention back. " I want to Kiss you again..." Their eyes met and the whole world stopped moving. All they could hear was their own heartbeats, their changing heartbeats.

Khushi was burning under the gaze of Arnav. His chocolate brown eyes become dark with love and desire. His eyes were boring hole to Khushi whole demeanour. Before Khushi can get her senses back Arnav spoke again,

" Hum tumse Kuch puchna chahte hai Khushi...aisa keu hota hai, jab bhi tum mere pass ate ho , here dil ke dhadkane tezz ho jate hai..humne samajh ne ki bahat kaushik ki,lekin samajh nehi paye...bhulana chahte hai par bhula nehi pate..aysa keu hota hai, Batao na Khushi..aysa keu hota hai.. ki hamara dil ki dhadkan hamara saanso se bhi tez ho jata hai.. ( I want to ask you something Khushi...why every time you come close to me, my heart beats increased ? I tried to realise but don't understand, I tried to forget , to ignore but could not, why this happen? Tell me na Khushi...Why my heart beat increased more than my breathing...?? " Arnav whispered those words making Khushi almost verge of losing her sanity... It took Khushi immense self control to not kiss Arnav after his heartfelt words...

" Khushi tumne ab tak mere sawalo ka jawab nehi diye. ( Khushi you still not replied..)" Arnav again repeats with those vulnerable eyes while his hands were caressing Khushi's cheek, sometimes the crook of her necks.

Regaining her remaining sanity finally Khushi bare her heart too," Main batati hu ki aysa keu hota hai, Arnav jab tum meri pass hote ho,to tumhare dil ki dhadkano ki saath sath, meri dil ki dhadkane bhi tezz ho jate hai...humare dhadkane ek ho jate hai...jo tum mehsoos karte ho, jo mai mehsoos karti hoon.. ( I will tell you Arnav, when you become close to me, then along with your heartbeat, my heart also beast fast, our heart beats together...)"

Arnav smiled dreamily while murmuring" Humare dhadkane...( our heart beat) "..

" Ek ho jata hai..( become one) ." Khushi completed his sentence smiling and caressing Arnav's face.

They both were looking at each other without blinking their eyes. The atmosphere was burning depicting the flame the two souls were feeling for each other. Arnav gulp down looking again at Khushi's lips, his breath was fanning Khushi's face, they are just inches apart.. A single movement from any one, and their lips will spark again...

Khushi was looking at Arnav's eyes, which is becoming darker with every passing second. They are reflecting the extreme possessiveness, the dire need, unadulterated love and burning desires.. And Khushi wanted to dive in the passion of those eyes...forgetting everything Khushi took the decision and uttered those words,

"Kiss me, Arnav..." Khushi says. Arnav looked into Khushi eyes, her eyes are showing her innocence along with reflecting her desire...a pure seduction.. With her simplicity, Khushi just burn Arnav more if that was even possible. Looking at those hazel orbs finally Arnav placed his rough lips on her rose petals.

The moment their lips meet again, their whole body burn together, in the extreme need to being close..unlike their first kiss, this one is not so soft..They were kissing like crazy. Like their lives depend on it. Arnav's tongue slips inside Khushi's mouth, gentle but demanding, and it's nothing like she had ever, ever experienced.

They were kissing as well as they were melting like a candle in each other. Every square inch of Khushi's body dissolves into Arnav's. Her fingers grip his hair, pulling him closer. Khushi's veins throb and her heart explodes.

"I want you Khushi...I want you so much...I have never wanted anyone like this before. Ever....You are my desire, my fantasy Khushi..." Arnav murmured in between the kiss..

Finally Arnav pushes Khushi backward and they are lying down on the armchair beside poolside, making out under the sky, among the bustling sound which is coming from the garden area where thousands of guests along with family members were celebrating Holi.

The door of their bedroom is not locked properly and there is high chance that anyone can enter searching for them but none of them cared about it. All they want is each other right now.. They were kissing like there is no tomorrow, like if they break the kiss now, they will die.

Khushi wanted her husband desperately at this moment. She was always the lonely soul but Arnav gave her everything which she ever asked for, care, affection, respect, a family and Advay...So, it was literally impossible from Khushi's part that she restrict herself from Arnav.. She had irrecoverably fall in love with Arnav..Now all Khushi wants is to LOVE Arnav and being loved by him...

" I also want you Arnav... I ... I love you..." Khushi felt breathless after they broke the kiss and while confessing her deepest secret at the same time...while the man in question was busy in passionately kissing her crook of her neck and finding her sweet spot he just bite a little making Khushi moans loudly. His hands were caressing her desperately everywhere. In his intoxicated state Arnav actually missed Khushi's confession. He was so busy in diving his Khushi land that he missed the most precious and pure confession.

Khushi was feeling like she is floating in air, she felt her whole existence has burnt just by the passionate kiss and sensual touch of her husband. Arnav again attack Khushi's lips And in a daze Khushi continue her confession like a mantra in her mind but she did not voice it out, "I want you Arnav with all of my heart. I want the weight of your body on top of mine. I want to feel you, all of you, pressed against me, and I want to inhale your shaving cream, your shampoo, and that extra scent that's just ... Your's Arnav....The most delicious smell I could ever imagine. I want to breathe you, lick you, eat you, drink you. Your rough lips taste like honey to me. I want your stubble to rub my skin. I want you Arnav so much, I love you with all of my heart... I want to spend my whole life with you..."

Khushi feels wonderful, every touch, every kisses Arnav had showered her, Khushi felt relive again, felt being loved. His hands are everywhere, and it doesn't matter to Khushi that his mouth is already on top of her cleavage and his one hand is over her breasts and he was pressing them over her clothes with his sensual thumb . They both were fully clothed, but they can feel the heat that was emanating from their togetherness, despite the piles of clothing's.... she wanted him closer closer closer.

Arnav bites hard on Khushi's exposed cleavage earning a loud moan from Khushi while a satisfied groan erupted through his mouth.. " Arnav... I.. I..."

" You are so beautiful Khushi.... and You are Mine.. I want you Khushi... I...want you so much..." murmuring those words Arnav again kissed her hard on her already swollen lips. As his parted lips met Khushi's, she started to feel breathless in a new and fascinating way once again. The space around them evaporated, everything goes oddly quiet, like the moment of silence between lightning and thunder. Breathless they parted apart, Arnav looked at Khushi and Khushi shivered a little watching the intensity of Arnav's eyes. His brown orbs are shining with desire mixed with lust.

And then they kissed again, the next kiss was like losing the breath one moment and regaining it back in the next... Arnav was kissing Khushi like a man in possessed, without giving her a second to gather herself. Once, twice, until Khushi realise that she will never have enough of Arnav.

Suddenly Khushi felt the kiss is deepening, with a fervent urgent need she have never known before. And that was the moment Khushi realise that today she will not be able to stop Arnav and probably she does not want to.. Because she too wants Arnav as much as he wants her.

They kissed, kissed and kissed until Khushi felt she will loss the sensation on her lips. She already can feel her lips are swollen and bruised. But she felt the tingling sensation all over again when Arnav's urgent lips touches her aching one. He kissed her once again and she blossomed like a flower...

Arnav's eyes were half closed. The impact of the wild magical kisses they have shared and the bhangs which Arnav had consumed before, make it impossible for him to open his eyes any more. His whole body was in fire but his sense was unable to awake due to the heavy intoxication.

Slowly Arnav stopped kissing and looked at Khushi with those alluring eyes which had captivated her since forever. Arnav then nudged his nose against hers, then he pecked Khushi few times. And the next moment Arnav's eyes closed though he desperately wanted them to open and wanted to get a better look at Khushi's hazel orbs which was still shining with her desire for him. He wanted to devour the glow of her face which was shining after their lips romanced together; he wanted to absorb her blushing feature which was only increasing his desire for her.

Arnav had a feeling that this moments will never going to happen again between them and that it might even ruin what was between them. So, Arnav wanted to open his eyes for maximum to witness the beauty cocooned in his arms but he was so so tired. Finally Arnav just placed his lips over Khushi's and stilled. Closing his eyes Arnav Ray drifted into a peaceful slumber while holding Khushi tightly in his embrace.

After a while when there was no movement from Arnav's side, Khushi finally looked at Arnav. Arnav has drifted into deep sleep, he looks peaceful in his sleep, there is no worry line in his forehead which usually adorned his handsome face and a soft smile is adorning his lips. Khushi slowly caresses his face while placed a soft, lingering peck on his forehead. After few moments when Khushi becomes sure that her husband is in deep slumber she slowly released herself from Arnav's grip and helps Arnav to lay properly. After taking a quilt she covered him. Looking at Arnav for the last time slowly Khushi enters in the wash room.

***************************

Khushi was standing in front of the wall length mirror in washroom for taking a shower. After stripping from her clothes Khushi was standing in front of the mirror looking at her reflection. The girl in front of her is so unlike herself. There in the mirror reflecting a feature of a married woman, a married woman who has just been kissed by her husband. Her hair is dishevelled, lips are swollen and red, face is glowing. Khushi blushed hard looking at the uncountableable hickeys that were adorning in her cleavage, crook of the neck and shoulder. Khushi slightly touches her lips and filches, it's still aching. Khushi remember Arnav desperate kisses and closing her eyes she felt that as if Arnav is still boring holes in her heart with his passionate, bedroom eyes.

Suddenly Khushi felt her eyes pricks, she felt few tear drops rolls down from her eyes. Why she is feeling so lonely again ? Khushi was always aware about her relationship status with Arnav. Though she promised herself that she will do everything to return back Arnav's favour and the family whatever they did for her in these time period but Khushi never thought of what will be the consequences are if she ever fell in love with her husband. With each passing day slowly but steadily Arnav make a place in her heart and when she realised it was too late.. She was already in love with Arnav. But still Khushi controlled.

But today, Arnav's confession and his ministration unknowingly evoked the emotions and passions within her which she had successfully hidden in her heart.. But now what will she do? How will she face Arnav ? How will she pretend that nothing had happened? Khushi knew that Arnav was not in his senses, probably he will not remember anything after he will woke up.. But what will she do? How Khushi will erase the few moments of passion she had shared with her husband? How will she able to keep a distance from the same man? Most importantly how will she accept the separation after six months when her whole being is screaming for Arnav, to belong to him, to call him as her, not for six months but for their entire life time?

How will she spend her remaining life without her 'Arnav"? Suddenly Khushi felt very tired and exhausted. Tears were continuously rolling down from her eyes but Khushi was least bothered.

Khushi stands under the shower and the moment the water cascade over her, Khushi burst out crying.

Unknowingly, Khushi Basu had connected herself with Arnav Ray through her body, mind and soul. The burning desire and unfulfilled passion is consuming her whole being.. her cravings for Arnav is only increasing and she knew she is rushing towards the handsome devil just like a moth towards her flame......To get destroyed....

To be contd......
