THE HALF OF IT

Part - 21

Since Ruhi's birthday, the bond between Karan and her have grown immensely. They are getting closer and so am I and Karan. Yes, I am still not ready for a commitment but whatever we have between us right now, I am loving it.

Karan have started to come over more often and on weekends he sometimes take us out for dinner or to his place as he wants his Princess, yeah that's what he have started calling Ruhi, as he believes I am his Valentine just as Ruhi is mine, to know and be comfortable around his surroundings too. He do have a impressive house.

Each time I see Karan and Ruhi bonding, my heart becomes full but still sometimes I feel that Ruhi might go away from me, I know this is a ridiculous thought because with time Karan have proven again and again that how nice a person he is but my past still have a steel grip on me.

Oh hell, as usual I wasted my time thinking and dreaming about Karan, Ruhi and me while I should have been doing my work before Valentine returns from park with Shruti and Tanya.

I took my focus back to work and the door bell rang. I thought it's Ruhi or Karan and went to the door but to my surprise it was one of my other neighbors. He is sweet and nice but I don't feel anything for him. I have come to realize that except Karan, no one does it for me.

"Hey Tejasswi" he said bringing me back from my thoughts, "Umm... I was wondering if you would like to go out on dinner this weekend?"

He has always been nice to me but he wants a casual fling, like one night and all and after Ruhi I am not interested in all this but seems like he still thinks it can work. Before I could reply he held my hands and came closer. "Please, just one time, think about it. Let's go out, eat and talk and maybe we might work."

I was about to reply when I saw Karan parking his car and coming out and here goes peace. "Alex, umm... actually sorry I can't."

He took a step closer to persuade me and Karan's steps also became faster and I could see anger surging through his body. "Hey, at least think about it, and answer tomorrow."

Before I can deny, Karan reached us fuming," What’s going on here?" He asked, his tone authoritive and his eyes looking at Alex's hand holding mine. He took a step between us forcing Alex to take a step back and leave my hand.

"Who are you to ask so?" Said Alex as he have never seen me with a man before and always thought I am single mother which was actually true untill a month ago, Gosh, how much have my life changed.

"I am Ruhi's father and I have all damn rights to ask who is talking to the mother of my princess and why?" Said Karan more like growled and I could feel anger pouring through his body. Realization set in Alex's gaze. "Oh, I am sorry I thought ..., forget it, nothing.  Bye Tejasswi." And he literally ran. I would have liked it if things have been settled more politely rather than Karan barging in like alpha and taking matters in his hands.

As soon as Alex was gone Karan held my hand and took me inside the house closing the door behind. Before he can start I cut him off, "Karan, you can't interfere in my matters like this. He has always been nice to me and I would have appreciated if things would have went a different way. I was explaining him and denying his offer already before you thought of threating him."

Karan made an innocent face but still all protective, " Tejasswi, he was literally in your personal space, and this makes me think are there more areseholes I need to take care of?" He said folding his hands on his chest.

"Karan, are you even listening to what I am saying. I have always handled everything on my own and would like to continue to do so and you are not allowed to interfere in my life." I can allow Ruhi to be dependent on him but I can't give myself the same luxury as I don't want to get hurt when he gets over my body and decides to move on.

Karan started taking steps towards me with predatory steps and I took a step back untill I was glued to wall behind my back. "Listen, carefully Teju, you are mine and I don't like people troubling you, I know you are capable of taking care of yourself and I admire that but I would really like to be there for you and Ruhi in each way possible."

Then he bent down and kissed me, and then I was lost. I raked my hands through his hair and down his back. He kissed me harder. His hands cupped my butt and then he lifted me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist, and my dress rode up but I didn’t care. His erection was hot against my opening despite the fabric of my panties and of his pants between us. I ground myself against him desperately. I was already so aroused and I realized how much I have missed him though we just met day before yesterday.

Karan pressed me against the wall and held me with only one arm. His other hand cupped my breast through my dress, making me moan into his mouth and my nipples harden and he groaned. He thrust against me, rubbing his erection against my panty-clad heat.

He stroked his palm down my side, then slipped it between my legs and pushed a finger under the fabric of my panties. He found me wet and aching. I shivered at the feel of his touch.

“Fuck. You are so wet, Teju.” He pushed a finger into me and I arched off the wall with a gasp. Only he had that effect one me.

He removed his finger again and opened his zipper. My core tightened with anticipation and need. I heard the rip of a condom package and then his tip pressed against my opening and he started to slide into me. My walls yielded to his hot length until he had sheathed himself completely in me. We peered into each other’s eyes. This felt so right. Why did it have to feel so right when still my insecurities grip me and I am not ready for more.

Our lips found each other again. Karan thrust into me, driving me higher up against the wall. I moaned when he hit a spot deep inside of me. I wrapped my arms even tighter around his neck. It felt like we were one, inseparable.

I dug my heels into his back, driving him deeper into me. Pleasure surged through me and I came apart. He kept pounding into me until his own orgasm hit him. We clung to each other, still united. I kissed the side of his neck. His familiar scent flooded my nose and I closed my eyes. I wanted to stay like this forever.

Distant sound of laughter dragged me back into the realm of reality. Karan pulled out of me. I loosened my hold on him and let my legs slide down until my feet hit the ground. I couldn’t even look up at him as I straightened my dress. He threw the condom into the bin and went to sink to wash his hands and I too compsed myself.

I heard the knock on the door and went to open it. There stood Ruhi and Tanya with Shruti and her husband Varun. Shruti gave me a knowing look and I just blushed and then she left saying Bye. I took Ruhi inside the house and as soon as she saw Karan, she ran to him and in his arms hugging him and saying "I missed you." with so much love.

Karan had a wide smile on his face while replying, "I missed you too princess." He said while kissing her forehead and then cheeks.

"What will we do today?" Asked Ruhi.

"Let's go and play in garden and enjoy the swing then let's order pizza and your favorite ice cream for dinner. What say?" Ruhi's eye lighten up at the suggestion and I just remembered that we have decides to tell Ruhi that Karan is her father and that's why all this extravagant treat.

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

Huhhh, finally a revelation on its way.

Will our little Ruhi accept Karan or will she have questions of her own?

Oh did I said I will be out of town for few days so won't be updating early. Don't kill me.
