33 ~ Beyond Everything ~

Arnav's Mother's Garden..

Delhi...

Morning...

"I am done with you Mr Ray and with everything you have put me through. In fact, I hate you." Khushi yelled at Arnav while her blurry eyes were spitting fire... Arnav's jaw tightened, he walked over to Khushi and pulled her into his body with a jerk. Then Arnav did something which Khushi never imagined in her wild dream...He gripped a handful of her hair in his fist, pulling her face closer to his own and whispered. "I hate you more," Arnav growled and in the next minute Khushi found herself pinned against a tree.

" Ar..." Khushi's words were left unsaid in her throat as Arnav's mouth crashed against her, with a force that took her breath away.

His kisses were not gentle like Khushi had remembered them to be in the day of Holi. Instead they were aggressive, wild, dangerous, full of possessiveness. Khushi felt herself drowning in the passion and pleasure that Arnav had inflicted upon her.

Suddenly everything seems faded away around them, except the wild passion which was consuming both of them....

On running out of breath, Arnav ripped his mouth away from Khushi, but attacked her neck. Khushi's breathing was hard, her heart was beating erratically in her chest. Arnav's hand released her hair and moved to her back on her blouse, he clutched the dory of blouse tightly in his hand. And accidentally, his restless hand broke the string of dory of her blouse... The pearls fall down on the green grass noiselessly making Arnav's eyes wide in utter shock while Khushi's in disbelieve...

Is he really the BEAST who caged the BEAUTY in his castle? Or He will prove himself the Prince Charming who was the dream of this innocent Beauty?

Time has finally come to reveal his true side, Beast or prince charming...

" Arnav..." Khushi whisper in disbelieve looking at a stupefied Arnav who is looking at his hand in uttered shocked.. What has just happened? Did he really broke her blouse string? Arnav took few steps back and helplessly said, " I was right before.. I am not worthy of you... I.. I... don't deserve you..."

Khushi quickly release her braided hair and it covered her back like a black water cascade..Arnav started at Khushi, his gaze fell on the pearl over the grass and guilt flashed in his eyes. He looked back in Khushi's eyes, self loathe evident on his face, he took another step back "I am sorry." He whispered.

Arnav turned around to walk away, but Khushi held his hand before he could. " Where are you going?" Khushi gritted her teeth with agitation.. Today, she will get her answer and either it breaks them or make them... There is no going back from here, Khushi vowed herself..

" Away. From you." He turned around, then looked at her. " If I stay here, I will hurt you, like I always do. I am a beast, KHUSHI.." His gaze fell on Khushi's torn pearl pieces again, he looked guilty, he could not believe what he had just done.. Did he just misbehaved with her?? Arnav's already clouded mind made him more conflicted...

" I don't want you to go," Khushi's eyes stung with unshed tears. She was breaking apart, falling, and Khushi knew, she needed Arnav to catch her before she did. But this blind man will never realize... His mood swing is worst than a pregnant lady...

" I cannot do this anymore," Khushi whispered. She looked into Arnav's collate brown eyes which was full of confusion and also with tears. Her eyes were no less... "It hurts." Khushi spoke while tears finally rolled down from her eyes..Arnav's frantic gaze followed the tears that rolled down Khushi's cheeks. "It hurts too much." Khushi again whispered stabbing Arnav's heart repeatedly..

" I am sorry, But I... I am..." Arnav mumbled, still in daze what had just transpired between them..

They shared a passionate kiss in their conscious mind but the next moment Arnav had broke the string of pearls in her blouse... Are Arnav's years of intense passion for Khushi, making him a beast? Khushi deserve much more.. A gentle man in her life not a beast like him.. " Sorry..." Arnav apologized once again making Khushi's blood boil...

" But I am not, I am not sorry at all..." Khushi scowled, her anger coming back to her due to Arnav's sudden withdrawl. " I am not sorry that I met you. I am not sorry that I don't hate you even though you have given me million reasons to." Khushi shouted in frustration...

Arnav slowly take forward steps and come infront of Khushi..." Why don't you hate me? It's what I deserve." Arnav's words were a whispered against his lips.

" Because I love you..." Khushi cried out frustratingly seeing Arnav's idiotic behaviour... after whatever moment they shared few time before, still the man had audacity to ask her the question?? Khushi gritted her teeth while her eyes blurred with tears..

Arnav visibly stiffened in front of Khushi. His sharp, stunned, intake of breath was audible. The air between them grew thick, intense. Khushi finally felt light after saying what she had been aching to say to him since the day she had realized that she loved Arnav, her contracted husband whom she had accepted as her husband,.

" Despite everything you have put me through, despite all the pain and heartache you have caused for me, despite knowing that our marriage is based on a contract, despite knowing that there will be no future for US after 6 months, still.. Still I fell for you deeply and irrecoverably.. and I am not sorry that I am in love with you Arnav Ray... Loving you became my solace and I found myself again, after falling in love with you" Khushi said in one go and looked at Arnav who is standing like a statue...

Khushi felt the stinging tears finally pooling down her eyes. She finally confessed her love to the only man in her life.

" I love you... ARNAV" Khushi repeated, a lot softer this time.. She felt liberate after letting her true feeling out.. She has nothing to lose now .

Arnav covered the distance between them, standing in front of Khushi, he cupped her chin with his index finger and thumb, forcing her to look into his eyes." Say it again," he begged.

" I love you," Khushi breathed. " I love you, you laad Governor" Khushi lightly punched his stomach.

Arnav chuckled lightly, and then he kissed her lips, ever so gently. " I love you so so much, I love you Jaan..." he confessed. His hand caressed her cheek as Arnav continued to softly kiss Khushi, his other arm circled around her waist pulling her closer to himself. When he pulled away, they were both breathing hard.

Khushi looked at Arnav's brown orbs which is blazing with intense passion, love and desire so dark that Khushi felt her knees going to give up.. Khushi visibly gulp down looking at the way Arnav's eyes becoming more darker making her throat dry.. Before she could realize, Arnav's lips crushed down over her taking her in a passionate lock..He kissed her like the way she wanted to be kissed, gentle yet firm, soft and moist, slow yet urgent, hot yet breathy and her inside burn with desire so consuming...

Arnav takes his own sweet time to devour her soft petal in between his hard texture, it seems like a dream.. Arnav felt maybe it's another one of his wet dream which he so much used to since his puberty..None of them seem in hurry, none of them fought for dominance but it seems like, they are seeking union and closeness in that one kiss by sharing of one breath, one sensation, one eternal and passionate moment...

Khushi felt heat rose in her cheek the moment her eager tongue touched Arnav's sensual one, quick and electric, delicious to devour then it became steady and firm... slowly but steadily, Arnav pulled Khushi towards him without breaking their lips union.. His one hand placed on Khushi's waist holding her in place, while the other hand takes his sweet time to caresses the bare creamy skin of Khushi's arm, then slowly his hand roamed behind her back and the moment his sensual hand touched the bare back of her, their breath hitched..

Khushi flew open her eyes feeling the sudden loss of Arnav's lips on her.. They have broken the kiss in dire need of air... Khushi looked at her husband in eyes, brown orbs is screaming the same desire like her... Before Khushi could register more, Arnav mumbled, " I love you, so much Khushi.. I love you so much that it hurts.." and his lips met her once again...

But this time the feeling was so different..

His lips brushed her, softly, delicately like butterfly wings, just long enough that Arnav could inhale her breath, feel the warmth of her skin and then before Khushi could gather her thought she felt Arnav's lips mashed against her with so much force as if trying to savour as well destroy her mouth. Khushi felt her mouth dried and inside churn with desire, her thought clouded with passion and this time Khushi fought with Arnav for dominance..

The moment Arnav pushed her against the tree behind and almost chewed her delicate petals, Khushi open her mouth hungrily and pushed her tongue past his clenched teeth to the moist space within.. Arnav smirked sensing her restless move eventually irking Khushi some more... In turn Khushi gripped Arnav's hair firmly getting a hiss from him, but she cared less..The bristles of his bread scratched against her soft cheek, but he paid no heed... Both of their lips worked against each other, their tongues battling back and forth like wrestlers, each trying to defeat other... They are just trying to believe that the moment is true, that their love is reciprocated, that THEY are safe in EACH OTHER ARMS, that they are FINALLY at HOME...

" I LOVE YOU... Since forever my love.." whispering those words against Khushi's mouth Arnav crash down against her already swollen lips... A faint moan accompanied by a guttural groan lingered in the air.. Leaving her lips next His mouth roamed around her smooth skin of her throat, the soft flesh of her ear, burning her some more making her heartbeat frantic...

Their heaven loose broke with a shrill cry of Arnav's cell phone...once he ignored but repeated call forced Arnav to break the magic spell... Looking at the caller ID Arnav cursed his luck, the all time enemy of him, spoiled his magical union with his Khushi..

Arnav barked on the Phone, " Why the hell did you call Aman?" but after listening the reply a small worry line appeared in his forehead..

" Khushi is with me and we are coming back.." Arnav replied and cut the call..

Arnav halted in his place looking ahead... The scene infront of him make his heartbeat erratic.. Khushi is still standing in the same place closing her eyes breathing heavily.. She is looking so sensual and exotic in Her disheveled hairs, swollen lips, small love bites on her neck but her face is glowing like a sunflower... Arnav felt his heart filled with immense satisfaction sensing that this joy and glow on Khushi's face because of him...

Taking slow measured steps, Arnav finally placed his hands on Khushis shoulder and turn her in her place.. Now, Arnav is facing Khushi's back.. Ever so gently Arnav gathered Khushi's soft, silky hair and placed them in one side... Khushi's eyes flew open when Arnav's long sensual finger touched her burning, bare back... Khushi cranked her head and her eyes met with Arnav's ...

They did not shared any words and Arnav never broke the intense eye lock.. Soon his fingers were replaced by his rough yet sensual lips.. Khushi felt her knees will give up any time soon when Arnav started to pepper small, soft, quick kisses on her bare back but She was securely caged in Arnav's protective arms... Finally which seems like forever, Arnav placed his chin on Khushi's shoulder and then whispered huskily, " Sorry for all the trouble I did to you.. Sorry for hurting you so much... But, I promise, from now onwards, I will make it up to you, my love.. and I will never, ever leave you alone... We will be together, Forever.." Arnav placed his lips on the croak of Khushi's neck peppering feather like kisses..

"Hamesha..." Khushi replied in daze..

" Forever.." Arnav nodded gain and pecked her lips softly..

Then quickly covered Khushi with his waistcoat and said, " We have to go back home, Our Advay is waiting for US..."

The mention of Advay, jolted back Khushi from Arnav's web and she frantically looked at the time.. Sensing her restlessness, Arnav hugged her tightly once again, " Relax, Advay is with the family members.. He is safe and sound.. We would have spent some more time here Jaan, but he is asking for you... since morning he did not met you, so..."

" Then what are you waiting for you Rakshas Laad Governor?? Take me to my son, right now..." Khushi wriggle in Arnav's arms making him amused...

" You love him more than me?" Khushi halted in her struggle while her mouth hung open listening Arnav's sudden question... " Are you for real, Arnav? You are just... impossible..." Khushi huffed looking at the way Arnav's eyes screaming possessiveness while his hold on her waist tightened some more...

Arnav did not utter any single word but just nuzzled his nose in her hair inhaling the jasmine scent of her... "Thank you..." A husky whisper with wetness jolted Khushi.. She turned towards Arnav only to witness his eyes is moistened and a tear drop is rolling down from his eyes..

Khushi felt a lump in her throat as well a sweet ache in her heart looking at the man in front of her... Her Man... Her Husband... A handsome, chaotic man... and that was the moment Khushi realized that, nothing matters anymore...she will never be able to break the bond which had unknowingly formed with this beast and she knew she will do everything in her power to be with him, to protect him from any evil, to fight against the world to be with him...

Slowly wiping the tears from the brown orbs, Khushi hugged him tightly while Arnav buried his head in her neck...

" You are my heart Arnav while Advay is my heartbeat... and without anyone of you, I am incomplete..." Khushi paused a little while caressing Arnav's messy hair.. " I love you Mr Arnav Ray and your punishment for hurting me is , you have to bear me throughout your entire life... Are you ready Laad Governor ji?" Khushi teased while few drops of tears rolled down from her eyes too..

" Gladly my Sundari ( Beauty)... We will be always together... Always..." Arnav mumbled in satisfaction..

" Hamesha..." Khushi repeated...

They break the hug holding their hands together in silence...

" Let's seal the deal with a promise then..." Arnav's brown orbs flicker with mischief and desire... Khushi did not uttered a single words instead, holds Arnav's charming face in between her tiny hands lovingly and slowly, without breaking the eye lock, placed her lips on him...

Khushi responded with such enthusiasm that Arnav was taken aback first but then again reminded himself that this is really happening, he is really kissing his BELOVED, his WIFE , and she is kissing him back...and for that moment the world around then was meaningless... Arnav sighs in Khushi's lips, her kiss is like a butterfly's wings, soft until it became addictive.. and Arnav knew he is falling in love just a little more with each passing second with his wife.. and he knew, he had never been more grateful to have LIFE untill now.. Arnav knew he had become addicted to her and there is no escape from this web..... and damn, he does not want an escape...All there was two of them, rather Arnav could feel just was her... Her scent Jasmine and Rose, she is like a cool breeze in hot summer day...and Arnav Ray does not want anything more other than to be captured in this beauty's web till his last breath....

Arnav is Khushi's.. Now and forever....

Breaking the kiss finally Arnav looked at Khushi with such a tender smile that melted her heart and Khushi immediately awarded Arnav with her infectious smile, their eyes were sparkling with determination, they were glowing in their new found love and their heart were beating together making a beautiful melody for their upcoming future...

They both leave the garden while holding hands together, promising a forever with each other.. Finally a journey of togetherness begins in true sense...

The beast finally found his beauty ..... 

For... 

Forever...

To be contd.....
