20. Sizzle

A Couple of Hours Later

@The AirBnB

Khushi grinned at Arnav, as he pulled her into a snug sidehug, closing the door shut behind them – "that was fun...right??"

Khushi nodded at that – " a lot of fun...indeed...,"And at that she feels Arnav just engulf her into a big warm hug almost instantly as he says kissing her head – " I so loved seeing you so comfortable in chatter...around...all of these guys....over dinner Khushi...I mean...these guys are the ones that are like my genuine buddies from the industry...and we enjoy a good working chemistry and cordial friendship...with no malice/envy towards one another...."

Khushi just hugs him back harder as she whispers – " I know...I can see that...now even more clearly...as in...both Manizeh and me caught onto this...ya...like despite being competitors/contemporaries, there's also this sincere respectful+ friendly vibe between you all....which is so great...infact...I am like so freaking happy to see...this too...I mean...this is hard to come by...in the world of entertainment and showbiz...especially??"

Arnav kisses her head at that again – " yeah...you could say that...but then perhaps...it's just always about how you handle it within your head...?"

Khushi agrees – " yeah...maybe...,"and she hears Arnav say now, kissing her head again – "just...let me just hold you this way...Khushi...I can never get over how amazing your vibe feels...right here...in my arms...all snug and close....this...is my happy place...you know that...don't you??"

And Khushi can only succumb happily within the circle of his arms at that as she whispers– " I know.... it's the same for me...as well..and you surely know that,"and the two just continue to hug each other hard – in an intense emotional silence.

So, they'd just returned at the Airbnb, after finishing the early dinner with everyone. The dinner, that went off really well. Indeed. Khushi and Manizeh had both been pleasantly surprised to discover – that not only Arnav, it was just the entire group of his contemporaries, that were so freaking grounded and sorted in their heads, along with being completely, sincere, genuine, and friendly. They'd obviously witnessed that briefly in the green room in the brief chatter – but the extended dinner had obviously put it all more in perspective for both Khushi and Manizeh.Friendly conversations ranging from music to diving, to Sydney and various other topics in between – kinda flew naturally amongst the group over dinner.

Khushi had obviously also noticed the extra effort made by Neha, Jasleen, Syna while they were all entering/leaving the hotel to have Manizeh and her, involved in group chatter with them directly – so that to anyone looking from the out – it would seem as if these two were more off Syna, Neha,Jasleen's friends. Khushi and Manizeh had left in the cab first for their accommodation, and Arnav had left separately after and picked her up from the accommodation, before they made their way here alone, finally.

Khushi asks Arnav now looking up for a second, this very above bit returning to her head – " Hey...just checking...Arnav....you aren't mad at me ...right? for like...suggesting we leave differently from the hotel??? I only suggested that...because.....you know....it's not like I don't wana be spotted with you or something...it's just that...given that...I haven't still.....,"and she pauses to think – " hmm...how do I put this to you..so..."

Was he mad? No, not really.

Arnav shakes his head at that instantly tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear snug – " Nah...I am not mad.K? I understand..where you coming from...as in you don't have to say it...Khushi. I know, you don't want your parents to spot anything about us in the media online or something....prior to you talking to them...about us..reconnecting and being together..again.."

Khushi sighs in relief at that as she rubs on his arms – " thank you for just saying that......you understand...right???Arnav??"

Arnav nods – hoping almost immediately she diverts away from the topic of her parents – at the moment. Maybe, he should just distract her with a maddening kiss??

But before he could lean in to kiss her, he felt her hug him back instead as she whispered – " I mean...only fair I say this again Arnav.....that I have to talk to them like face to face – k? about us...?,"and Arnav manages to mumble a – " yea...I understand...Khushi...don't worry about it...,"and at that he sees her pull up as she says honesty and sincerity evident in her tone and her face – " Like....especially...daddy...he's always been like extra protective...he just needs to see for himself that I am in such a happy space now with you again.......like I need to be there in person with him to explain him, you know incase he over-reacts in worry or something..in the sense...he knows the intensity of what I'v always felt for you...he might worry, because obviously he wouldn't want to see me hurt again...and I kinda wana tell him in person...that...I am so freaking sure...that...that will never happen...again......they also need to hear your side of things from me in person...as in how it had been for you within all along too....so I guess once...they do hear it...it'll be all kool...in their heads..especially daddy's...like I just feel like I need to be there with him to tell him the whole..picture...k? like that's what's it's about.. ...,"and she pauses only because she thought she saw Arnav mask a dash of flinch in his frame/frustration in his eye almost immediately just as she mentioned all of this, before he walked away to the kitchen to fetch some water – gesturing to her – to come on in too – in an intense silence.

Khushi does follow him. Obviously. But her mind's in an overdrive – nonetheless.

Why? Why that freaking flinch again? Again, at the mention of her Daddy? And it is right then – it also hits her that back then she didn't give much weightage too – his – I don't want your daddy's money bit in the green room, because it was more important for her to express what she had then, first. But now that it all replays in her head – her mind tells hers that - Perhaps? her daddy had been a trigger of irritation for him even then? As in, he didn't show any resistance towards accepting the envelope when she had clarified that it was her own work savings and her own sense of independence. So perhaps – he only went all against it at first – because he thought it was Daddy's?

What was up with him???She thought?Was this about his self-respect angle or what?? or something else too???? Perhaps – only one way to get him talking honestly on the same? – Khushi thought.She took out her phone in her hand, studying his frame from behind, closely, taking steps towards him.

And the reason – Arnav had just walked off to find solace in H20 – was because obviously every bit of him was freaking flinching as he had heard that from Khushi. Ironical, wasn't it? That she wanted to paint the whole picture in front of her Daddy in person, about them today, totally oblivious to the bit that she herself – was clueless about the actual picture with regards to her daddy in context! Godammit.Somehow, he couldn't still manage to control the boil within – every time Rajesh Maan's, reference came up. Arnav knew he surely had to find a way to cover up his reflexes on the same. Very soon.Otherwise, sooner or later – Khushi would begin reading too much in between the lines...

He is right on that thought – when he sees Khushi place her phone on the counter next to him – with the 11 minute timer on it as she whispers – " alright...so...baby....I want to go into our rapid fire...now...11 minutes...there's something I really want to know...like now...right very now.....are you ready? If yes...I'll switch the timer on.....,"and Arnav fights a groan within. He couldn't risk this right now – what if – she went onto the topic of her parents/daddy? He felt like he just had to freaking distract – Her - right very now, and lucky for him, he knew just how.

Arnav composes himself+ his thoughts with great difficulty and turns around now and shoots her a side rakish grin, pulling her by the hand closer before leaning in to kiss her ear with every intention to switch the mode in context immediately – " baby....you got your dives tomorrow...your call time...is 6:30 which means...I need to drop you off at the team's accommodation by 6:00 am...and its already 9:00 pm...you need at least 6 hours of sleep in between 11-5 dammit...so why not...we just skip this...rapid fire now...for I wana use...the rest of our time..for ..this...and the rest I hinted towards prior...in the green room....I am sure...you remember...,"and at that he finally closes his lips over hers – consuming it madly in a stormy kiss, glad that she gave into the moment too.

Khushi couldn't help but kiss him back as madly, forgetting all about the timer, the very second, he leaned forward and consumed her lips in a stormy fierce kiss. It wasn't her fault. He really was freaking irresistible to her, when he shot her his side rakish grin with that stash of dark passion for her in his eyes, and then of course – the way he was kissing her right now – had the power to make her forget her very own name, let alone the context of her rapid fire – questions....

But about four minutes into the heated kiss - she felt her mind meekly send in a reminder nonetheless– that at least it wanted some answers....even if it were a couple...before it succumbed its sensibility to the lost mazes of passion and desire...

And so Khushi whispers into Arnav's lips on the feeble attempt of her mind – " please....delay your alarm police by ten minutes dammit....please?? I need some answers...all I am asking is for eleven minutes...please? we have all the time...after....,"and at that she hears him whisper huskily back – " what?? you still got that on mind? Means...I haven't freaking kissed you hard enough...woman...,"and she feels her lips be claimed by a harder, deeper, stormy kiss – that freaking sizzled every inch of her so much so, that once again she could only give into the passionate duel in between their lips in the moment.

Once again, after succumbing to another five heated minutes off kissing him and being kissed by him madly, just as Khushi was on the verge off forgetting her name, she manages to insist again into his lips in a tone she knew he could never say no too – "Arna..v... please??? Baby?? I want nothing more...than to just give into this sizzling vibe in between of us....too...right now...k? but then...I got these questions on my mind...they'll keep nagging me...otherwise...please...just...give..me...five minutes on the timer...at least...please?? please??"

And at that she feels Arnav finally pull back reluctantly as he shoots her a look of complete frustration but he does says after frowning deep in thought – " fine...godammit....you know...I cannot freaking say...no..to that tone ever...take your timer time...if it's that important...to you...right now...Khushi....but...just five minutes ...dammit...."and at that he goes over to sit on the sofa – that had more or less become their rapid fire + vent out - spot.

Uh-Oh.

He was surely mad at her for this, right now, Khushi thought.The frustration was evident in his frame and the dark scowl on his face as he once again gestured her to just begin the damm timer from across – " what are you waiting there for now...Khushi???dammit? come here...sit...and just start the timer?and ask me what you want... Before I freaking change my mind...again..."

Khushi can't help but break into a smile at the sight of him scowling that way on reflex now and she hears him ask again, his scowl deepening – " what's funny??"

She admits shrugging – "Nothing's funny. Call me crazy though...but that freaking scowl up your face...is so freaking hot..baby...like...how can you look..so hot...while scowling? I mean..it should irk me maybe? But it's not – I am finding...it extremely hot...anyway...let me start this damm timer...and get it over with....fast....,"and at that she walks to him quickly and flings her phone aside on the sofa with the timer on– however this time around – instead off sitting next to him on the sofa – she surprises him – by sitting on his lap – straddling him just like he loved, making Arnav groan and glare at her in even more frustration now – as he asked adjusting her snug over himself nonetheless, the cocktail of electric desire coming in with its mix in the frustrated look in his eye – " what do you think you are doing...right now...Khushi?? you want the freaking timer - time or not????"

Khushi bites her lip playfully at that, loving the play of expressions up his face for she knew – it would all culminate into sizzling out on her passionately once this timer was done.Exactly what she wanted. She whispers now caressing his lips – " of course...I want the time on the timer...but what if I don't wana next to you but...sit on you...this way...instead...this time around...I told you...right??you look way to hot to my eye...right now...so freaking irresistible...dammit....,"and she shifts herself on him closer – making him just groan and glare at her again.

But because he was obviously going to play in the game – he just narrows his eyes at her, holding her snug on him pushing himself closer to her nonetheless as he begins moving himself subtly and her too – on him – by holding onto her waist.Why should he be the only one -tortured in the moment?She surely knew what she was in for – in the moment – right?? It also delights Arnav immense to see her eyes close in passionate pleasure at that almost instantly for a second before she opens her electric heavy gaze to him and whispers matching his slow moves nonethtless, her breathe heaving in on her – " I know...why are doing this? K? Arnav...so that I can forget the very damm context of this...rapid...fire..."

Arnav nods looking at the timer ticking, his other hand coming to hold the other side of her waist too so that now she was even more snug on him – "indeed...ofcourse...that's the freaking aim still...Khushi...you tell me...is it working??"

Khushi mumbles a meek – " Kind off...,"before she feels her own hands wrap themselves around his neck hard on reflex as she burries her head in the crook of his neck enjoying the feel of the crackle/sizzle in the air in between of them as they just moved together – slowly and intensely – in the moment. Maybe, she delay the timer? By just a couple of minutes?

She was right on that thought, when she feels his hand tug in her hair passionately as he pulls her head up to make her look at her as he asks continuing to move them – the sizzle in the air consuming the two - " kind off?? Does that mean... I can delay the timer by a couple of minutes – at least dammit??switch it off...for now...please...dammit?? on it...ten minutes..later...just ten minutes...later...let me...feel and live this moment..with you dammit...I promise to let you get back to it..."

And Khushi can only nod at that on reflex and she watches him let go of her waist just for a second – during which he hurriedly turns the timer off – before holding her snug over him again – for a second – before swiftly turning her around on the sofa so that she was finally under him and him on top – and as her legs wrapped themselves around his waist on its own accord too – Arnav can only groan harder as his hands now move to caress her backcurves bare under her dress pulling her closer into him - resuming their passionate friction – as he whispers looking deep into her eyes – glad that she hadn't closed them on him right now , probably because she was as hypnotised by the moment – "oh...you feel so good....this feels so....good....Khushi...you have no idea...how much I am aching to just...bury myself in you...right now....you know that don't you??,"

Khushi nods in a soft whimper now matching his moves in the moment making him groan again - " I know...."

There was something so addictive about this...for the both of them...so thrilling...for it...was adding insane amount off fuel to their already maddening fire for the other....

Arnav keeps his gaze locked with her's boldly as he says – "I'v made love to you for years...in my head...this way...dammit...for years.....and just know..this...the only reason...why I am holding back on that in the technical sense...is....because...,"and he pauses fighting a groan as he felt Khushi now beginning to caress his back hard as she whispers pulling him closer – " because......I know why? I think I know...why??wana hear my take on it??"

Arnav nods brushing a strand of her forehead urgently away – " lets see what you got on this??"

Khushi admits the bit in her gut in a soft whisper now as they both continue to torture each other with their maddening friction – " a part of you quite strongly....wants me to fall in love with you...in the present...again...before....you actually make love to me???Am I...right?? Arnav??? I mean...you know how I'v always felt...but...."

Arnav nods at that intensely leaning to kiss her head keeping her eyes locked with his – " indeed...I know...you'v always loved me in the past or after...just like you know I'v always loved you past or after...and just like I know that...I also know...that I need to nurture us...in the present...to make you fall in love with me again in the present too.....hard and deep....Khushi....I want you to be irrevocably and deeply in love with me again.....in the present too...before....I technically make love to you...we are each other's first...Khushi...I just so want you to be madly in love with me in the present...before...we..finall...y....."

And Khushi can only nod at that in understanding, because she wanted him to be as madly in love with her in the present too before they finally technically did make love to soak in the emotional beauty of that moment in between the two and she whispers honestly – " I know...I want you to be madly in love with me too...in the present me...before...we...,"and before she could say another word, she was kissed by him hard, as their maddening friction gained pace...on its own accord...simultaneously....as he whispers into her lips – " but...that doesn't mean....I won't have my other intense maddening ways with you...prior...Khushi...for...I most surely want...the rest of it all...oh...I so want it all........later...tonight...how does that sound?? Dammit??after that quick pause for the rapid fire into the past,"and Khushi can only whisper and moan into his lips at that matching his impatient moves while they were both still clothed moaning and shuddering into his lips – "dam...you...you...know... I want the rest of it all...too....Arn..a...v..,"before she begins to kiss him madly and deeply as well – as they continued to move with maddening intensity together – eager to push the other off edge nonetheless....

Another reason – why he had just kissed her in the moment? As she'd said that and succumbed to the sizzling electric vibe in between of them in the moment? It was to just guard his tongue from slipping out with the words – But, I am already madly in love with you in the present today too – Khushi.For yes, he was. He most surely was. He didn't need more time on the same....

But he knew – she did – which was why he didn't wana jump out with his confession in the present – or risk making her feel like she had to rush her way in her emotions in the present????? He just wanted her to come around it – naturally and organically – on its own accord. He didn't wana rush her into feeling like she had to say the words back to him in the present today – only because he'd said it.

He loved her way too much – for that. He wanted her to say it because she wanted to say it.Not ever because...she felt like she had too....

And that was the only reason, why no matter how torturous it was going to be for him – he'd just wait to make love to her – until the day she'd be ready to confess the same to him – in the present.And until then, he'd just make the most of the rest of the ways through which he could still satiate his passionate and maddening desires for her...in moments..as sizzling and electric...as these...ones......

......................................

Twenty Minutes Later

Khushi walks back to the sofa in the living room now – after freshing up. The zillion splashes off cold water on her face – had helped her cheeks return to their normal colour. They'd obviously been all flushed and heated – in the aftermath...

And she is surprised to not find Arnav around and back yet – from freshening up. She bites back a chuckle at that on reflex as she walks up to drink some sparkling water stocked up in the fridge. Perhaps? He was helping himself with a cold shower in the moment??

Maybe, she should have helped herself too – she thinks? But makes ado with sipping on some cold sparkling water for now and whilst she is in the middle of enjoying that – after three-four minutes – she finally spots Arnav make his way back to the living room too, all changed into his night tracks and tee +rubbing a towel on his wet hair – which confirms her mischevious thought prior.And she asks now – narrowing her eyes at him mischeviously – " cold shower?right??"

Arnav narrows his eyes at that walking upto her – " you bet??,"and with that he takes the glass of water off her hands mischeviously and asks – " why do you love sparkling water so much anyway??????,"but just as he is about to sip it – the glass is taken away from his hand by Khushi as she glares at him – " Arnav....no....no cold water for you...please?? itll catch your throat...wait...ill just quickly make you your chamomile tea...would you like that..??"

Arnav smiles and nods at that shrugging – " yeah...I'd love that...come...ill help you..too...,"And with that he adds to himself. Hope, the chamomile tea works its magic on my mind too and helps me relax during this upcoming rapid fire...from your end...

Five minutes later – they make their way back to the sofa and Khushi winks at Arnav as he takes his seat sipping his tea and she whispers mischeviously - reaching out to her phone – "before...I start the timer...only...fair...you finish up on your tea first..Arnav.....because...guess...what...I'd still...like to still close on you..again...as we talk...what say???you think you can handle it???"

Arnav gapes at her, gulping on a sip , raising an eyebrow at her in a challenge – " really?? woman??you doubt if I can??are you crazy?? But hey...are you sure...you can handle it??"

Khushi grins fanning her face again - " I do think I can...,"and she pouts at him adorably raking her gaze all over him – " how are you still this hot in your night tracks and tee dammit??"

Arnav winks at her sipping his tea three gulps at a time now – " just admit it baby...you like what you see? I mean...you are also equally in awe...of how I'v aged..."

Khushi winks folding her right leg on top of her left one now – knowing it would wedge her dress up – and make him stare at her legs boldly again – " I have no qualms...in admitting that...baby....for I don't just like what I see...I love what I see..just like you love what you see right now...perhaps??,"she asks innocently seeing his heated gaze begin to linger on her legs again – already.

Godammit! This Woman....She so knew the affect she was having on him...yet again....

Arnav finally gulps down the rest of his tea fast and keeping the cup aside – and he says to Khushi keeping his bold gaze locked with hers – " Khushi...you have one second..to...start your questions now...also just...five minutes on the timer...you ask now....dammit....or just forget about it completely...for the rest of the night...because...I am already extremely tempted...to haul you over my shoulders right now...and carry you in...and listen nothing but your moans/whimpers/shudders...for me...until it's time for you to sleep....."

Khushi nods at that now and grins mischeviously – "well, well, impatient, are we??? I am getting to it...k?,"and that she finally switches on the timer and walks up to sit snug on him again – straddling him – like she had not very long ago – and as she sees the familiar scowl return on his face – nonetheless – she playfully grins and begins – " okay....so...my first question...are you like scolwing..this hard..because...all you wana do again....is...just make me forget my name is the lanes of our maddening passion...and I still brought this up...again??"

Arnav admits to that on reflex now chipping in to begin torturing her too holding her by the waist on himself snugger again – " indeed...yes...dammit...I am only scowling this hard...because...I am so freaking mad at myself that I couldn't get this off your mind...completely....I guess...I should have been able too..."

Khushi admits now softly keeping her forhead on his – totally loving the feel of him so close again – "Well...you have succeeded...quite a bit..which is why...I still agreed to keeping it all cut short to five mins...k?infact...I will only ask the most important ones on my mind...next...."

Arnav sighs and closes his eyes at that. Perhaps – this was a blessing in disguise? Again? That she herself, was going to be his distraction from the pain of the truth? In the moment? And her being this close right now again – could just help him cover up – with something atleast in case she went to her dad – because he could also find ways to distract her from reading more into his eyes..?

He opens her eyes to her now as he says – " okay....just go on then......please?dammit...before I freaking lose my mind again.....or make you lose yours...again??"

Khushi asks now instantly shoving her hands in his hair roughly, as the most important questions on her mind return to her head – " here I go...just be rapid...k??like super quick??"

Arnav nods.

Khushi asks – "okay....so.....did you only take my part of the share, as in the envelope because I explained it was my work saving?"

Arnav admits honestly – " yes...". He did his best to pull a cover over his eyes, because he knew where this was heading, now. She was going to do her best to read him and he just had to do his best to cover up – yet again. And, it ached...it ached so much within to cover up...

Khushi asks instantly next, narrowing her eyes, trying to read through his eyes that had suddenly begun to blank out on her –" what's up with you dammit??"

Arnav raises his eyebrow – " is that a part of the rapid fire??"

Khushi glares at him – " you bet it is?what the hell...stop trying to pull this mask up your eyes dammit...and look at me...like you always do...your emotions talking back to me through them....unfiltered and raw..."

Arnav sighs at that within, cursing himself in the moment. He insists, doing his best to keep the cover on his eyes nonetheless – " What???? I have no clue...what you talking about right now...Khushi? there is no mask up my eyes...right now..."

Khushi gapes at him in disbelief – " you know there is...I can see...it....why??"

Arnav groans – " Khushi....please? dammit? just go with your next question.."

She places her forhead on his and cups his face snug in both her hands – " not until...you bare your eyes to me...raw...right now...k?you decide...then..dammit...ill just have to extend...the time on the timer...then..."

Arnav groans within. Godammit. Why was this so difficult? Now, he couldn't even mask his turmoil through his eyes.He instructed his mind to come up with another way. He kisses her forhead lovingly leaning forward and then pulls back and looks back into her eyes , letting the vulnerability in his own gaze make its way through – " godammit....you....this...okay...now????"

Khushi bites her smile at that – " yes...okay...now they are back to talking to me in the language I too understand....so very well...."

Arnav smiles at that on reflex – " your...next question...sweetheart??"

Khushi asks instantly next – "hmmm...yes...so..is this what it is...as in...there would be no way...you would have taken the envelope... if say..it was from a share from daddy's funds ??"

Arnav couldn't lie to that and he was sure she sensed it in his now turning to steel gaze on reflex – " indeed...there would be no way...I'd have taken it..then...at all......"

Khushi asks now next on reflex shoving both her hands in his hair trying to read through that frustrated steely gaze of his.What did it mean? – " but why?? Why do you always react this way? when daddy comes up?? Now still? I mean the other day it was because you felt...Samarth was his first choice for me etc...we talked about it...sorted that through..then...I assured you...all that matters is what I feel...what we feel right??? then....why now?again? as in when we walked in here...you totally flinched..when I got daddy in context... and even then in the green room? Now it totally feels like...that you totally got triggered into reacting like that in the first place...just thinking it was a share of daddy's money...right?am I right about the latter?"

Arnav admits tugging his hand in her hair now himself, frustration and ache off keeping the truth all in, returning to engulf his frame and not just his eyes this time around – " yes, you are right...yes...dammit right you are...Khushi......I told you...I won't freaking accept a cent of your daddy's money...ever...Khushi...like....over my freaking dead...body.."

Khushi glares at him at that and she scowls over listening the last bit– " are you mad???? What was the freaking need to say that last bit...take it back??"

Arnav glares back at her, desperately hoping the timer to just buzz on them sooner – " no I won't...because...I am stating the truth...you want the truth right??the truth is...that...I would rather die..than to accept a cent off your daddy's ever....."

Okay! He was seriously in some sort of a massive turmoil right now. Khushi could sense it from his eyes and in her gut too – obviously.Was this about his self-respect???Or was it a scar deeper? Like deep down – even though he had coaxed her into moving to a new life at Fiji with them – did he kinda hold it against her parents in his heart – for coming into their lives in the first place? Deep down? For, if they hadn't ever walked in to the orphanage, seeking to adopt her – things – in their Life – together – would have been so different. They wouldn't have ever parted?

Khushi asks now trying to read past and comprehend it all desperately – " and is this just your self-respect talking??? Or?????something else????? Like deep down...despite you being the one to convince/coax me into making the move, for you know I didn't want to at all..first....you convinced me...then...and now...in retrospective...looking back...do you feel like...you have some aching scar on this accord? As in, that if they never had walked into our lives...my life...everything would have been so different...for us...??"

And Arnav couldn't believe that last bit though. He just tugs her by the nape of her neck closer as he admits to that on reflex his glare matching hers – " are you freaking mad?? What crazy theory is the latter point??? You know, I'd freaking do anything for your happiness, Khushi. you were being blessed with this opportunity to have another family...live newer dreams with them..through them....i'd never stand in your way off that...ever..which is why...I freaking convinced you to go then...dammit....so...get this straight....no matter what....I don't freaking hold it against them...that they came into your life...dammit...they gave you another place you could call home...you had another family...do you actually think...I'd ever have a scar within at the thought..that you had another family?another home??,"and as fresh hurt oozes in his eyes at that - he just adds to himself silently. Although, yes, I do detest your daddy for the stunt he pulled after – those initial four years – Khushi – but still – I do not hate him for walking into your life...

Khushi caresses his cheek at that reading the hurt immediately – " I am sorry...I hurt you with this....I guess? I am sorry...so so sorry...my intention wasn't too...hurt you...at all...I just wanted to know.....you okay??"

Arnav takes a deep breathe at that – " I know...I am...okay...,"and before her mind could come up with any other theory – Arnav decides to state the part that was also true – " anyways, to answer you...this isn't freaking about the latter...but more so the former...for....well, that bit of not taking a cent of his money... is surely coming from a space of my self-respect...dammit...just get that straight in your head...k??"

And Khushi nods at that as she asks next – " point noted...but then if that was about that? then whats all this continued flinch+ frustration...in your frame...every time he comes up??it is coming up in you right? I can see it so freaking clearly...don't you deny this...dammit...why?"

Arnav sighs at that and does his best to cover up sure the helplessness was evident in his eyes – " yes,it is coming up.Okay.But the continuous flinch bit...is also coming in the flow perhaps...because....because...,"and he pauses, raking his own head for theories to like mask the truth.

Godammit.This was getting harder by the second...

He manages to answer nonetheless shrugging helplessly – " because...whenever...his context comes up...I sort of feel helpless...k?as in...I am sure...you can spot that in my eyes...right now??"

Khushi nods and gestures him to continue and Arnav says as a theory pops into his brain – "helpless...coz....I'v never like met the man after that day...as in...after the day he took you away to Fiji....I have no freaking idea...what he thought off me then in the years after when we were together in our long distance...," and he pauses gulping down his pain at that for he surely had an answer to that but he goes on saying nonetheless – "or say..i don't even know...what he thinks/would think of me now...today....he's so freaking important to you....right?Khushi? he's such an important part of your life.......obviously what he'd think off me...matters to me..."

And luckily for Arnav, his sincere frustration at that does reach Khushi and she ends up asking him now on reflex, her own frustration bubbling up now as her mind connects the dots leading to a context picture that really irked her insane – "wait...wait...so could this also mean...that....all this continuous flinch and frustration that surrounds you everytime he comes up...is it like about..the bit...that a part of you today....somewhere deep down...is freaking nervous...about Daddy/Mum's/their collective approval...of us...or something????????wait..wait...wait...were you like always...nervous about this...before too ? in our long distance?? Or something...."

Before, he could control his reaction to that – the words slip out of his mouth on reflex along with a nod – "Perhaps...yes...Khushi...I guess I always was nervous about this then...too...and I guess ...a part of me is still am...."

Damm his freaking reflexes!

She couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe what she'd just heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fresh pools of frustration/hurt/anger/ consumer her at that on its own accord.

And Arnav is obviously surprised to see that dash of anger/sheer frustration/hurt flash through Khushi's eyes at that almost immediately as she begins to trembles in her frame now,and before he could ever ask her anything – she just gets off his lap at the speed of light, pulling herself away from him and begins to stomp out towards the patio – suddenly...

Wait........????????? What the????????

What the hell just happened to her????????

Arnav follows her at the speed of light puzzled and he pulls her by the hand, back to himself, all flush to his front and close - just before she could step out the patio and asks trying to read her now – " what the hell? What's freaking wrong with you? Khushi??? where do you think you are going? Rules of our rapid fire remember? We don't walk away...and wait...why did you walk away????????"

And Khushi couldn't help but push his hand off her wrist at that all frustrated as she admits – " yes...I know our rules...but guess what...I am breaking the rules...right now..because...you freaking frustrated me immense with that last bit right now???also irked me insane....like...are you like freaking crazy??????????????????to even imply that to me????????????? like is that a freaking thing to be nervous about??????????,"and she begins to walk away again – mustering under her breathe.

And Arnav pulls her back to him, by holding her hand again and just gapes at her puzzled as he asks – " don't you freaking walk away from me...right now...dammit...and....wait....are you saying...you are frustrated with my answer about me being nervous about your daddy's/mum's/their collective approval off us?? Why are you frustrated with that...answer?????? Of mine? Like isn't it like supposed to be a natural point of nervousness?????"

Khushi snaps at him now feeling irritated on another tangent altogether – "indeed...yes....I am freaking frustrated...because of that...and I will not answer the why...because...guess what? rockstar?not my bloddy rapid fire...and know..what just freaking frustrated me more...it's the bit that you are freaking clueless about...why I could be this frustrated....in the first place??"

And right then the timer does buzz off its five minutes on Arnav's turn on Khushi's phone and Khushi just stomps off to off it – fuming within and Arnav obviously follows her immediately and as he sees her fling her phone aside now - he just takes out his phone now and starts the timer off five minutes on his as he says – " well, it is your rapid fire....now...I need to know...my answer....on this...why a"

Khushi glares at him – " What the?hell? I am not getting into this...right now.....you just freaking leave me...alone...."

Arnav tugs her by the hand closer, his hands settling on both her arms – " you know I am not going to leave you alone...hell...I know...you don't wana be left alone...you are just mad at me right now...I can sense that...but let's talk through this...dammit......you cannot walk out of this...right now...Khushi...for.....I won't let you...go on..answer me...why are you this frustrated...at listening...I am nervous about...your their approval?????"

And Khushi finally snaps it all out at him, just shoving his hands off her arms away in the process – " because...when you freaking say...that....it freaking feels like...you just don't get me....you don't get what I feel for you..or what I always felt for you....dammit....like it would be normal to be crazily nervous...say if....you...had doubts about...what I felt for you/feel for you....it would be normal to be nervous...say...if you didn't trust what I felt/or feel....for you? it would be normal to feel nervous, if a part of you thought? I'd give up on you...us...if I didn't have their approval?then?or today??? Like...don't you freaking get my feelings for you?didn't you like ever freaking get the depth off my feelings for you?????? from where I see it.....your nervousness has only one justification...and that is the fear within you of me giving up on you/us because of them....that fear....that told you/tells you...that I wouldn't stand up for you/for us??????in front of them????like....is this... what you think...I could ever be capable of doing??? To you???? to us??????????????????????,"And she steps closer to him – at that pulling on his tees collar, clutching it in both her fists, desperate to make him understand - as it all keeps fumbling out - tears of frustration leaking out her eyes now – " don't you get it dammit...Arnav?????just like...the status of your bank account/or success levels...never were a context for me...just like that...I don't ever....freaking need to like... seek anybody's...mind you...anybody's....approval...to be with you....ever....no matter who they are....no body's approval on this ever mattered/or matters to me....but mine....and yours obviously.....for what we were/have been/are to each other...only we understand...the complete intensity of it ....only we understand.....because...our bond is for us to live......dammit....like....what can I do?to make you freaking understand...once and for all...that what I feel for you...doesn't need anybody's approval dammit....anybody's.....any freaking bodies....like I surely think you have misunderstood the bit about me wanting to wait to talk to them face to face about us – that's only because – I wana ease them into it out of respect and love...because yes they are an important part of my life....but its just that.....its not like I'd only be with you..if they'd approve...or something... !Like you freaking hear this dammit - not that daddy/mum ever will dispprove because my happiness is their priority and say just for the sake of saying it - even if the whole wide world disapproved of us including them...I'd still stand tall and honest with what I feel, holding your hand tight...I'd never let you go...on account of anyone else....I let you go once...but that was because...it was what you wanted then...dammit.......and I am just so freaking frustrated with you right now..because...the fact that this even bothers you...just makes me feel over and over that you don't freaking simply seem to get the depth of what I feel...for you......you just don't get it.....do you???????oh...you frustrate me...so much...so freaking much...look...you get this straight in your head...once and for all......that no one's else approval but ours...should freaking define our equation...dammit........all that should have ever mattered/should matter is – if we wana be with each other...or not.......that's freaking it.....,"she finally finishes with that – taking a heavy breathe – of release....

And as Arnav processes all that he'd heard from Khushi right now – he feels his heart gush with a gazillion emotions at that – so much so that it instantly drowned him.

For the intensity of emotion in Khushi's eyes and face right now – told him openly what he'd always known in his gut - nonetheless. That for him – she'd just go against it all. A part reason – why he could never tell her the truth then had been this too right? Because he knew she'd go head up against her daddy – and that would ruin her familial equation with everyone.She'd been blessed to have another family, she'd become so connected to her Mum by then especially – after those four years – how could he have let her ruin all of that on his accord? That would have freaking hurt her too.

But still, in the moment , now hearing this from her upfront with that much intensity shining on her face for him – drove him nuts in emotion as well and he instantly tugs her closer by the hand and asks again lacing his hand tight into hers just wanting to hear it for the sake of his heart – " okay...I get it...k? I get what you mean.....I do...but...wait..wait...come again on this bit because my heart wants to know...so...did you just imply?? That you'd fight the world for me, Khushi???if you had too? like tell me.... would you go against your daddy...say today... if there was a parallel universe in which he didn't approve of us????????"

And Khushi can only glare back at him at that trembling in frustration but she answers to the point ranting it all out lacing her hand tighter into his – " yes dammit...I'd fight the world for you...at any given time of my life....any....i'd fight the world...for this.....,"she gestures to their hands laced together – " oh you freaking know I would....just like you also know that now the only other freaking guilt...I too have in retrospect now...is that...I should have freaking fought you...for you....back then...too....if I could have fought the world...then...why didn't I freaking turn up to fight you for you/for us dammit....????and you asking me this...just feels like...you freaking just didn't get it clear the first time around...or perhaps...you just don't get me at all......on this accord......"

Arnav couldn't help it – he just had to kiss her at that. He just freaking had too. Which is why he pulled her close and closing the distance in between their lips – he kissed her hard – pouring all his turmoil/frustration into it as he whispered – " I get you dammit....I get it all.....Khushi....,"and She kissed him back as hard in the moment, unable to pull apart, pouring all her frustration/out at him – through her kiss – as she whispered over and over into his lips – " no...you don't get me...I hate you dammit...for this...you don't get me....you don't get me...."

And he could only whisper back ten times over continuing to kiss her hard – " I do...get you....dammit...I do...get you....Khush...i...baby...I do....,"and he only thanked his god that she didn't pull away from their heated kiss in the moment and continued to kiss him back angry and frustrated, still. Yes, it was more like an intense – angry yet extremely passionate– kiss – from her end and kinda a deeply frustrated yet passionate one from his end too.....

Only because the timer did buzz on them eventually – Arnav reluctantly unfused his lips from hers – switching the damm thing off completely, before he just pulled her into an intense hug – first – fighting his way through a gazillion emotions within. He was right in the middle of comprehending his way through his own emotional tsunami – when he hears her whisper softly now burying her head into his chest – " and even though the timer...buzzed...I want to answer this....so.... the second bit you asked - say...if today there were a parallel universe in which daddy/mum/collectively didn't approve...I'd do my best to make him/them understand...that...my happiness is you...and if he/they love me truly he'd/they'd see that...and if they don't....then it'd just be sad...perhaps?yeah, I'd be hurt too? but I'd find a way to come around that hurt... and even then – none of that could ever stop me from being with you....dammit....you get this clear in your head...dammit....no one in this world can/could stop me from being with you.....but you....only you.....can....only you have this power....only you.....and that's how it happened in the past right in between of us? I, too freaking stayed away because you freaking walked out.....I let go...coz...you took your hand away...anyways...that was that....we were both younger/stupider I guess?? Look now...in retrospect...how much ache that brought us – nonetheless?????,"and she looks up at him now – and locks her intent gaze with his overwhelmed ones as she says – "so basically the bottom line remains...that I want you to drill in your head, heart and soul right very now...rockstar is this.......that I would never even think off freaking giving up on you...attaching importance to anybody else's approval of us....like how crazy would that be????of me????? I could never do that to you.....dammit...never....for only we understand...what we are too each other...you tell me dammit...can we even expect anyone else out there to get the actually intensity of what we are to each other?????only we know..the depth of the invisible strings in between our hearts that bound you and me then/or kept us bound in our time apart/or keeps us bound...in this moment...even today...only we know...right?? like do you even expect anyone else out there to get the actual intensity of it?????????"

Arnav can only shake his head at that – all emotional...and shaken...himself as he admits on reflex – " no I don't expect anyone to understand...the actual intensity of it....for that's surely for us to feel...live and experience...like we have...all this while...on each other's accord...."

Khushi continues nodding at that finally – " exactly...so when...only we understand us...only we define our equation dammit.....and after hearing this from me...if you still wana freaking attach any extra importance...towards anyone else's approval...mind you...anybody else...approval.....you freaking might as well just kill me....emotionally....prior...for...just the thought...that your mind today could still want to seek some sort off a stamp...on us...depending upon daddy's/mum/their approval...kinda butchers me...immense...anyway...you better get this????they came along in my life later...Arnav...prior...to that...it's you who were my family....too...along with everyone at the orphanage...you were the center of it...all...first....you were my world...and technically...you'v still freaking known me closely longer than they have known me......theyv known me for 11 years now...but how long have you known me closely...baby?you mentioned it the other day...right? on text?"

Arnav answers on reflex his emotions all trembling within – " most surely longer....than them...14 years...dammit..."

Khushi nods – " exactly...and now that we are back together...that number is surely going up...right??"

Arnav nods at that all emotional just pulling her into a hug – " indeed....that number...would surely go up...to forever now...Khushi...I'd never let go..again...you know ...I'd never let go again..."

Khushi succumbs into his warm embrace for two intense minutes before she pulls up and searches his gaze as she asks – " exactly...neither would I...ever let go ever again....so now.....do.....you get it? dammit? the depth of what I always felt/feel for you...or you still don't?."

And Arnav is still so freaking blown away, stunned, and moved in deep emotion as his mind keeps processesing all of that from Khushi – ten times over in his head – like a replay - and he just pulls her into a hard, possessive hug on reflex close again nodding at that – fighting his own turmoil within now – for seeing the intensity in her eyes right now again, listening to all of this upfront/replaying all her words in playback in his head – just told him – yet again – that she'd not just be mad at her daddy when she found out the truth. She'd probably be royally pissed at him too. She'd be so mad...so freaking mad.....

She wouldn't let go in the present – would she?if she ever found out???

Nah. She wouldn't. His heart confirms him as he feels her hug him harder to right now. If it ever came to that – he'd just have to fight her – for her/them – this time around...maybe?

He just hugs her harder at that closer, happy that she was letting her frustration melt into his vibe now as she asked again – " don't you just freaking nod at that dammit...tell me...I wana hear it...you get it...don't you??,"and Arnav whispers kissing her head softly– "shhhhh....shhhh....relax....just relax...now...baby.....I get it...I do freaking.......get it all...now..shh...just let me hold you this way....dammit....to see you through your moment....I know...this will calm you...now.....,"and he just holds her snug – in an intense silence trying to handle his own emotional tsunami within, as well – whilst he keeps kissing her head over and over as well.

Khushi, oblivious to what was going on in his mind, just basks in the feel of his arms around her this way in the moment – and his soft tender kisses on her head - just holding and seeing her through the last bits of her frsutrated moment and about five intense silent minutes later – she finally whispers after catching on her deep breathes – "godammit...you...like I always say...only you can drive me up the wall...and bring me down to being zen...within minutes too...."

She feels Arnav kisses her head at that as he asks softly – " you want me to hold you tighter??"

Khushi nods into his chest – "yes, please, tighter...tightest you can...please??"

He does and for the next intense emotional couple of minutes– they just stand put in each other's arms, before Arnav's finds the words leave his mouth on reflex, because he wanted to put a bit of this forward nonetheless – " there's something I wana say though..."

Khushi whispers – " go on...say it..."

Arnav kisses her head – " but you tell me baby....how can I not care about what your daddy/mum/they collectively think at all haan? think practically, please? from my viewpoint please? like now that your emotions have settled....they are your family....the family...god blessed you with again...how can I not care about what they could think??about me?? us???? I know..you'd fight them...if they ever disapproved....but...could I let it come to that? I don't think so. For...That would hurt you so much?? Right?????how would I look at myself in the eye then????"

And Khushi pulls up at that suddenly and admits honestly trying to just process things from his point keeping a finger on his lips– "shh....no buts...please???like where are you even going with this again? look...hypothethically again...I am saying this...if it ever came to that...how I deal with them...would be like my decision to take...k? why do you have to burden yourself with the responsibility of it??? all my equations are my responsibility...just like my equation with you too...is just my responsibility..."

Arnav groans at that – " and now it feels like you don't get what I feel for you...dammmit? Don't you get it...Khushi...it will kill me to be a context of mess up – between you and your family..."

Khushi sighs as she cups his face trying to make her own emotions reason to a win win point – " I get it....ofcourse...I get it....but...wait...not like it is ever going to come to that..."

Arnav fights his groan within. If only you knew baby...that it already came to that...long ago.....

And before he can say anything he hears her continue caressing his cheek – " okay....see....i am reasoning within to come to a point...from your end...that perhaps...it is normal for you to care about their view obviously...but still from where I see it....just the little caring bit...is where it stays...like it still cannot ever go to the extent as if theirs is the only approval that matters/ like it can never go to the extent of their view of us defining our equation...K?which again gets me down to the same point....that.... only you and me can define our equation...k? like how it always has been??k? we do us...we handle us.... only we can mess us up...only we can fix us..mend us...whatever...it is...only we can define/ handle our bond...we cannot...ever...give that power away...in the hands off anyone...else...Arnav....like ever..........you get this?"

Arnav nods at that and gulps down his fresh bouts of guilt with great difficulty.How to tell her, that he'd done just that? That he'd given that power away to her daddy then in those vulnerable emotional moments back in the day???????

Thankfully, for distraction - he felt Khushi close her lips on his suddenly now – pulling him down by the nape of his neck – and he finds himself seeking solace in her embrace right now - letting her dominate their kiss – this time around – as much as she wanted, and about four minutes later – he hears her ask into his lips catching on her breathe – " I do just have this one last question....will you answer...please??just one??

Arnav nods at that pulling up to kiss her head before brushing her hair off her cheek .Any questions would do to help distract that fresh bout of guilt – "yeah...ask....me??"

Khushi holds her hand out to him at that as she whispers – " but let's go in before...though...into our room...please?? I wana lie down..next to you..before...I ask this off you...."

Arnav scoops her in his arms at that immediately and walks them both into the room and places her on the bed gently and she gestures him to come lie down next to her and once he does, she asks him to face her and he does – wrapping his arm gently around her waist – pulling her closer and Khushi gently caresses his cheek as she asks her own voice trembling in emotion, because she so desperately wanted to know this – " Arna..v....you wouldn't ever give up on me/us...say if anyone asked...ever too right??? I mean...we'v reconnected now...and we are together...figuring us out...but say...hypothetically....in a parallel universe if a situation ever arose... in the present...with the world out there...suggesting...that someone else more suited to the rockstar version off you - deserves to stand by you...or something....and not me...then...in that case...would you like.... fight the world for me???today?????? you would right??? like I am sure you would....not like you'd ever let anyone else's opinion define our equation....too....but I just wana hear it from you....I guess... ,"and just as she asks that she closes her eyes naturally to let an emotional tear fall off on her cheek.

Godaamit Her.

Did she just ask him off that so vulnerably? Boy, his gut was right. She'd wont just be royally pissed if she ever found out the truth – indeed.She'd be furious??? Or the superlative of furious????????????????

Arnav leans forward to instantly kiss her tear away as he whispered sincerity and emotion evident in his tone not wanting to make her wait longer for her answer – " ofcourse...dammit....I would freaking fight the world for you...Khushi...I would...freaking turn the world upside down for you...today....if need be.....dammit...not that I freaking need the worlds approval...to feel what I feel for you....too dammit....and now that I have found you again....and we'v lived the moments we have...together...there's no way...I wouldn't turn the world upside down...for you...if it ever came to that........,"and he adds to himself within. I am so sorry baby. For...Now after hearing you out tonight, I so feel, I'v let you down on the same, massively, once already. But never again...will I ever let you freaking down on this accord.And he kisses her other eye before he whispers out loud again – "but really? did you really need to ask me that?? Khushi?? now I am sort of frustrated again...because...apparently...you still don't seem to get the depth of what I feel for you today dammit....if you felt you had to ask me that.....in the first place..."

And Khushi feels her heart gush in glee and emotion at that from him for that was exactly what she was hoping to hear and so she finally opens her eyes to him and admits smiling now – " I love the sound of that you know...that I'd turn the world upside down for you bit...exactly what I wanted to hear....dammit...you...asteroid singh raizada...which is why...I asked...I was hoping you'd say just that....,"and she wraps her hands around his neck at that pulling him closer and as she spots fresh tears oozing in his eyes now she asks wiping it off the corner of his eye – " hey....shhh..why the tears??"

And Arnav just keeps his finger on her lip at that as he whispers, wanting to get this apology off his chest, even though, he couldn't really tell her the detailed context of his apology in the moment, but nonetheless his insides felt like they'd burst if he didn't apologize to her right now for giving up on her/them/ back then on the account of her daddy – " I am sorry......Khushi...I am so so sorry....once again...I just have to say this.....I am so so so sorry......"

And Khushi asks caressing his cheek – " sorry? Huh?? for what now????????"

Arnav gulps down the context but says cryptically – " just...for...everything...in the past......as...in...for letting you down..once...for letting us down...then....I swear...it will never happen again....I will never let you down...remember this....k? always? I won't ever mess us – up again...I promise...."

And Khushi nods at that blown away by the sincerity in his eyes right now – " I do know and believe that...you won't...ever let me down...ever again...k?Arnav??I know you won't mess up....just like I am sure...you know...I won't mess up too...we just won't let each other mess up...anymore...ever again?right???on that...note...I am sorry for letting us down...too...then....wasn't just your fault...like I'v been saying for all these days...I gave up like a coward too.....why were we both so stupid?baby?like how stupid were we?????????? can we promise...to never ever be...like that stupid...ever again??like can we promise...too ...us above it all...always....here on...please???"

He nods at that keeping his emotional gaze locked with hers – " I promise...baby...I promise...with all my heart us above...it all....always...here on...indeed......"

She nods sincerely – " I promise the same too.......Arnav...I promise the same...us above all always...here on..whatever we have to deal with together...we will....and like whenever we are mad at one another in any context of the past in talks – the other has the power to barge right in emotionally in the present – like you stopped me from walking away today...right...just like that?"

Arnav asks all emotionally, feeling a lot more relieved hearing that from her – " really???promise...on that too?right? the latter?? I want us to promise on this...Khushi...."

Khushi nods caressing his cheek – " promise....indeed....baby......"

They share a powerful eyelock at that - as that potent emotional pact strengthens in the vibe and about two intense minutes later - they both lean forward together to kiss each other madly and passionately – at the same time.

And this time around as their lips met in a stormy familiar duel, it was freaking backed by a maddening emotional intensity too within the mix of passion and desire – that it freaking sizzled the two high – in their very cores – for they both felt a lot secure in their beings...after making that promise to one another...today...

Arnav did feel like – a lot more eased within too – and relaxed as well. If that moment ever came – that she be royally mad at him from the truth – he knew he had this promise from her – to like barge in on her emotionally with his side of the tale too....

But he'd deal with that when that moment came? Why fret about it in his head now? When – she was kissing him the way she was and also caressing him/pulling him closer the way she was?

Only fair that he succumb to the present now. Present + What he wanted.....

Her.Plus just wanting to lose himself in Her – through his other maddening passionate ways....

And so Arnav begins to kiss her the hardest, deepest he ever had – in the moment – and also caressing her as urgently in the process all over so much so that – Khushi felt every inch of her sizzle under his burning touch again...

Oh, she was loving it. She wanted nothing more in the moment, to just lose herself in him – too!Which is why she begins to respond as passionately, and urgently, mirroring his tug of war on her lips + his deep urgent touches on her all over....

And so, about seven minutes later into kissing each other madly and emotionally – and Arnav caressing her mad all over – and her caressing him mad and tugging him closer too - Arnav hears himself whisper into her lips now, the maddening desire, and passion for this woman taking over him completely, consuming him completely – " so...remember what I said...Khushi...I want more of you...the rest of you...tonigt....tonight...I want to freaking imprint and burn the rest of you...I haven't...yet....dammit...that wish of mine...hasn't changed...Khushi.....so tell me...just once....are you game for it??"

Khushi whispers into his lips at that burning in anticipation already + the thrill of it – " oh damm you....you know...I am game...dammit....take this off dammit...I wana touch your back...run my hands all over it..,"and with that she first flings his tee of him urgently before pulling his tee shirt half way up his torso too – beginning to caress his bare back deep just in the ways she knew he loved.In the ways, that drove him mad.

And needless to say – Arnav just pulled his tee off in a jiffy so that his torso was all bare in the next second and he spotted Khushi sit up half way now as she began to unknot the knot behind her neck of her dress – a sight at which he immediately whispered his eyes darkening in desire – " do not freaking deny me the pleasure...you know...I love to bare...your torso to my eyes...it thrills me...to get you bare....for me...dammit...."

And Khushi nods at that instantly now and just turns around a little so that he can have access to the knot now and she didn't have to wait long – for within the next second – as she felt Arnav push her back into the bed - not only the front of her dress but her intimate wear was also peeled off her in the process - with her dress front just crumpling around her waist and as she felt herself shiver and tremble under his heated gaze in anticipation as his eyes just scanned her torso with that familiar dark burning gaze. She whispered watching him lie down next to her as he leaned up on his one elbow and just continued to stare at her bare torso boldly – "Arn...av...stop....you are killing...me...with that...gaze...I mean...don't stop...just stop....looking....that...way..and touch me...dammit...."

Arnav bites back his passionate grin at that – " you want me to touch you....I know...baby...but I am trying to figure out...what is it that my hands...want to do more in the moment...caress these gorgeous curves...or...,"he adds his hands just tracing the sides of it lazily not touching it completely – driving her crazy too and as the same hand travelled down her waist, pulling the rest of the lower part of her dress up to the center too – caressing her legs hard and deep nearing her feminine intimacy , before finally touching her over her garment snug like he had in the green room , beginning to caress her sensuously and slowly over the garment –" or...do this...,"and because he catches her heave and whimper in heavy anticipation her electric gaze now silently edging him on – he finally loses his patience and let his hand slip through her garment now but yet not touching her just lingering teasingly close – " or just perhaps touch you bare now? for the first time ever? finally? So many options khushi?? you are so freaking gorgeous...my temptress...I am obviously spoilt for choice...,"and at that he sees her tremble in anticipation again – as she moaned a yes - in sheer passionate desire - he finally closed his hand over her intimacy bare for the very first time as he whispered – " oh yes... perhaps....lets indeed start with this..Khushi....about time...don't you think???? Or combine both the options perhaps? I know...you love your all of the above..options...,"he finishes huskily – beginning to caress her intimacy sensuously and deeply with his right hand and also caress her curves as deep with his left – feeling too thrilled himself that this was just not one of his intimate imaginations and was a freaking reality – Finally.

She felt so freaking good.Godammit...so freaking good,better than he'd ever imagined – it could feel. Which was why he was so freaking sensuously stumped himself...as he continued to caresss her intimacy bare and sensuously..with one hand and her gorgeous curves with another..

And Khushi could only writhe and moan his name at that dual caress torture from him as clutched on the pillow below her in complete surrender, her own eyes closing in on her in desire, her own heavy whimpers, moans, shudders for him - surprising her with their intensity.

She hears him ask now huskily – as one of his hands continued caressing her alive curves while the other continued exploring er intimately and sensuously not yet entering her though – "how does this feel Khushi??????? finally??? You'v imagined this...a gazzilion times...right?when we talked in our long distance? And after and I'v done the same too....so how does it finally feel to be touched by me...haan????i'd answer you first...it freaking feels way more better than what I could have ever imagined....also...seeing...you...react this to me...is indeed the most gorgeous sight for me...a sight I'd never forget...so...now... you tell me...how does it feel??is this touch...freaking burning enough....does this leave a significant imprint?????"

And Khushi finally manages to open her eyes to him at that as she whispers honestly looking straight into his eyes, sure that the glint of desire in her eyes right now would only drive him further the edge – "indeed...its freaking feels better than what I could have ever imagined...Arnav...dammit...indeed...its burning enough....leaves quite a significant imprint...just touch me mo...r..e..,"and just as she finishes that – she feels another solid heavy whimper leave her lips on its own accord as she finally feels his fingers enter her – deeply and intimately for the very first time and she can only writhe and moan a lot more - further – leaning her head back in passionate surrender at that.

She was in heaven. How many times had she imagined this in their long distance? Or her intimate imaginations after? And to finally experience this with him was nothing short of bliss...

And he couldn't have her shut her eyes to him in the moment. He just couldn't.After waiting for this moment for ages, he needed to soak it all in, with its raw vulnerability and so he leans forward to kiss the side of her lips slowly and sensuously as he admits – " I wana see...what you feeling..open your eyes dammit....please???? I want to see..it all....as I rile you up to your passionate release...please...why do you think ...I aint kissing you hard...or allowing my lips...to have their intense ways with your curves...Khushi??? I want this...moment...to freeze and nail itself...in not just your being...but mine too....you look at me...now...please???you have any idea...how freaking gorgeous and intimate the sight of you...right now is????????and its all for me...."

And Khushi can only open her eyes to him at that and she keeps her passionate gaze locked with his thrilled in desire one's as she whispers – " all for you...indeed...only for you...,"and as she feels his fingers begin to invade their deepest they could and move within her now as well - she feels her body welcome him...and react to him in the most intimate of ways – giving him all the access he needed. Its not that she didn't try to control her heavy whimpers and moans, and sighs – but it didn't work obviously – only because of the way his heated lingering gaze was watching her undo herself in thereo's of passion as his hands continued their intimate exploration too – in this moment – that freaking sizzled way too strongly in between the two.

And many heated minutes later – once Arnav saw her succumb to that final moment of her passionate release, his hands finally feeling it all as closely and intimately – he bends forward to consume that last moan off her lips by another deep maddening kiss still – not wanting this moment to ever pass.

All he wanted was the moment to freaking cease itself in between the two – but then now that he felt her beginning to fight for dominance in between the duel of her lips wrapping her legs around his waist – he just freaking lost it all over again – and perhaps – he wasn't just done with driving her wild?

And so he whispers into her lips to check first – " you okay...right??,"to which he gets an immediate response with her lower lip deeply consuming his upper one as she whispers huskily, her tone driving him nuts – " why would you ask me...that..Arnav...when you surely know...I am still on my trip to the stars...dammit....ofcourse...I am okay...never been better....but just you wait...you freaking killed me with that... I am going to return the favour...dammit....just let me catch on my breathe...first..."

And that obviously riles Arnav up immense more and he whispers into her lips consuming her upper one with his lower one deep – " but..what if...I am in no mood to let you catch you on a breathe..baby...plus you can return the favour to me...later....tomorrow...but for now..I...wan..t to undo you...more...dammit...just let this be my night please......,"and as she whispers a moaning yes to that - he probes his way into her lips deeper.

Godammit – he was so freaking addicted to just kissing her.Perhaps, so was she? He could never kiss her enough. Period....

And Khushi asks into his lips two minutes later – " you...wan...t...to undo me more??,"and she hears him whisper back into her lips his hands still caressing her intimately – " indeed...dammit...I mean..only my hands left their imprint...Khushi....my lips want to too...isn't new news to you...it's not like you are hearing this from me for the first time...I have hinted this to you...prior...as well right? in our long distance?during our intimate conversations?? You would touch yourself..thinking off it all...then right?? look...here...we are...today....none of us have to just think it...anymore....we can live it...together...finally......just like we lived this previous intoxicating moment too ....so.....if you want me to stop right now...you got two seconds...to stop kissing me now...ill move apart...but kiss me...back....now....and...ill...take that as a freaking.. y...,"and he couldn't complete the word – yes – for Khushi had just kissed him back – madly at that - heaving in passionate anticipation in his arms already as she whispered into his lips – " I wana live the moment with you dammit...I don't just wana imagine that bit of it...too....dammit...Arnav...I guess..we'll combust each other...tonight...??"

That's it.

That was all the consent he needed. And so – he lets loose. He just lets loose on his maddening desire for her again – his hands finally pull her lower intimate garment off her completely, before he kisses his way down her torso deep and sensuously loving the way she was heaving in anticipation – in the process – over and over – and without further do he acts on one of his deepest desires and intimate imaginations for her and closes his lips on her intimacy, loving the way she'd once again just given him all the access he needed and her heavy moan and her hard clutch on his head – in the moment – holding him put in his spot - told him – that she loved the feel of his lips on her – finally as much as Him – too!

He'd paused only because he was about to check on her if she was okay – first – and it was right then he felt her tug gently on his head in a gesture after she whispered kinda catching on the reason for his pause herself – " am okay...arnav...don't...worry...am oka....i ..lo..ve...t..he ..feel...of...this......so freaking much...,"and just as he hears that from her - it all snaps further for Arnav – and he had no other option, but to succumb to the passionate madness of the moment himself as his lips began to burn and imprint, Khushi's intimacy in the most intimate of ways – exploring and devouring her madly in the process – with only her passionate moans, whimpers of surrender – Sizzling and filling up the room as his lips continued to rile her off that cliff of passionate oblivion yet again...

And as She sizzled for him – down to her very core – with a potent maddening intensity...and He sizzled for her – down to his very core – with a potent maddening intensity too. Even the vibe in the Air engulfing their surroundings - had no other option but to Sizzle in its very elemental composition too....
