Finding us

Chapter 56

"WE can afford it" Rohan murmured, looking into her eyes. Priya's heart skipped a beat. His hand was drawing circles on her waist and even though her shirt separated his hand from her skin, goosebumps pricked all over her skin and she bit her lip, her heart skipping several beats.

"People!! The countdown begins!!!!" Naina yelled from the beach, waving at all four of them. She, Abhi, Shruthi and Kunal were at the beach, with Shruthi and Kunal sitting down near the villa, and Abhi and Naina closer to the sea - just where the see mets the sand.

But Rohan and Priya didn't hear anything, for they were lost to the gaze of one another, their eyes doing all the talking.

"We??" Priya whispered, as Rohan put both his arms around her waist and tugged her closer.

"Hmm... we.... you and me" he smiled, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

Her heart jumped to her mouth at his suggestion and she looked away.

The others downstairs at the beach started the countdown to the new year, putting an end to their conversation.

Whilst Priya calmed her heart and pushed it back to where it belonged - in her chest, an idea popped in Rohan's mind and he grinned.

"There's a theory that if you begin the new year with a kiss, the year will go very well. My year had gone by quite badly until I'd met you!! So, in a hope to keep the upcoming year too as good, or even better than last year... can I kiss you?? You know from experience that I'm a very good kisser " He grinned, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

Priya burst out laughing. He's a very good kisser indeed!!

"five... " the others were yelling.

"four.."

"three.."

Priya giggled and bit her lip, a shy smile curling her lips, and her heart jumped out of her control again!

"two.."

"Look there" Rohan whispered, indicating the horizon.

As they turned together to watch the horizon, everyone yelled "ONE" and the sky was lit with the burst of thousands of fireworks.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR" everyone yelled and cheered, and a grinning Rohan turned to gaze at Priya.

"Happy new year" they both whispered to one another, before moving closer, sealing the distance between their lips.

Cupping her face with both his hands, Rohan sucked and bit on her lip, swallowing her moans, while she wrapped her arms around his neck and sucked his lips with equal passion.

Tugging her closer, so there was hardly any space between them, Rohan deepened the kiss, tilting his face for a perfect fit of their lips.

All thoughts vaporized from Priya's mind as Rohan deepened the kiss, and all that existed was their lips, the sound of their drumming hearts, and his arms around her.

He growled like a wounded animal as she stood on her toes to kiss him back with equal passion, and moved his hand under her shirt, to hold her tighter and closer to himself.

His hands moved down, to cup her bottom making her moan in his mouth. But he continued to kiss her and lifted her off her feet. Acting on instinct, Priya wound her legs around his waist, and he tugged at her lips, holding her tightly.

And she smiled against his lips, before nibbling softly on his lips, making him chuckle.

His hands were still around her bottom, holding her tightly to himself. She felt him moving and before she knew it, her back was pressed against a wall whilst his chest pressed to her's, but her brain had seemed to have stopped working for anything except that kiss.
