Beneath the muted glow of the moon, Sidharth leaned in, his kiss on Shehnaaz's lips carrying a weight of emotion that seemed to transcend time. Each second felt like an eternity as he poured the depth of his feelings into that singular act. However, a subtle disquiet crept into his consciousness as he sensed Shehnaaz's response falling short of his expectations. To break the silence that hung in the air, Sidharth gently pinched her waist, a spontaneous gesture aimed at stirring a reaction. To his surprise, it worked. Shehnaaz, almost as if awakened from a momentary reverie, responded with newfound vigor. Her kiss became a passionate dance, a reciprocation that not only surprised Sidharth but also fueled a growing fire within him. As their connection deepened in the intimate exchange, the night bore witness to a symphony of emotions and unspoken desires that painted their shared canvas with the hues of newfound intimacy.

In the aftermath of their fervent kiss, they reluctantly pulled away, yet the charged energy between them lingered in the air like an unspoken promise. As their eyes locked, a kaleidoscope of emotions played out – desire, uncertainty, and a longing that words struggled to convey. The room seemed to hold its breath, suspended in a delicate dance of anticipation. The palpable chemistry they shared left behind a trail of unfinished conversations, a tapestry of unexplored feelings that begged to be unraveled. Both were left breathless, the intensity of their connection evident in the synchronized rise and fall of their chests. It was as if the air crackled with the electricity of their shared moment, leaving them on the precipice of something profound. In the wake of the sensual kiss, they stood at the threshold of uncharted emotional terrain.

Sidharth was ablaze with passion, refusing to part ways with Shehnaaz on this particular day. Slowly, he trailed kisses along her cheeks, gradually descending to her neck. There, he lingered, his lips exploring the softest parts, savoring the delicate moments with an intensity that seemed to stretch time. Two minutes felt both fleeting and eternal as he immersed himself in the tender connection. Shehnaaz couldn't help but release a soft moan, an involuntary response to the heightened sensations coursing through her. Sidharth, caught in the dance of desire and restraint, took it as a cue to temper his own passion, a delicate balance of indulgence and control in the shared intimacy of the moment.

"Sidharthhhhhhhhhhhh" said Shehnaaz as a moan escaped from her mouth unknowingly.

To which Sidharth deepened his lips more and more on her neck.

After spending a meaningful two minutes showering Shehnaaz's neck with affectionate kisses, Sidharth couldn't hold back his true feelings any longer. From the depths of his heart, he sincerely confessed, "I love you, Shehnaaz." The weight of his words lingered in the air, transforming the moment into something more profound than just physical intimacy. It was a vulnerable and genuine admission, adding a deeper emotional layer to the connection they had just shared. As the echo of his confession reverberated.

But to his surprise Shehnaaz didn't utter a single word. So, he unwillingly left her neck and looked at her face which was red by now and it seemed like she was shocked , surprised, happy and confused at the same time.

He snapped his fingers to make Shehnaaz come back from her trance of thoughts.

"Tumne suna na maine kya kaha? Shehnaaaz.... I love you, right from the beginning. I've never been one to believe in love at first sight, but with you, it seems to have happened. I won't call it love at first sight, but you undeniably left a lasting imprint on my heart from the moment we first met. In these past several months, I've had the privilege of discovering the beauty and purity of your soul. Though our time together may not have been long, there's a saying that resonates with me - sometimes, a mere two months in someone's presence can leave a more profound impact than a year or two ever could. And, Shehnaaz, you've certainly made such a deep impression on me in this short span of time."
