Oberoi's Ardhangini

CH | 38

His long fingers trailed on her cheeks, down to her jawline, and she gulped. "Jwalin..." She started slowly eyeing him, and he shushed her with his index finger placed on her rosy lips.

She was consumed with the thoughts of what was going to happen between them and failed to see his traveling glance to her forehead. His chapped lips met her forehead, and a sensation that she forgot had resurfaced.

Her thoughts trailed to her childhood when she was not an orphan and a lump stuck in her throat, "Mom and Dad used to kiss me on the forehead. After they're gone, nobody ever did that to me. You're bringing the best memories which I buried safely in my heart."

Her eyes glanced at his side face and she couldn't help but wonder, "What're you doing to me, Jwalin? Why are you doing this when you hate me?"

With furrowed brows, the conflicts in her heart arose, "Why were your actions and words so contradictory?"

The longing she had to be loved by someone was coming back to her with his breathtaking kisses and his proximity.

Though she knew what he did was not proper, still, somehow his ways were making her cold heart feel all those emotions that she thought she would never feel again.

She was once again diverted into her past when she was a lonely child, even when she was the adopted daughter of Mehta's, she was always isolated and unappreciated, no matter how hard she tried to please them.

Over time, she convinced herself that she was unworthy of love. Except for her friends, who were more like family to her, she had no one who truly took care of her and made her feel valuable.

But now, Jwalin is showering her with his affection, which is new to her. The way he chose was wrong, but his eyes were conveying something else to her.

Though he said it was for his reputation that he reacted in that way, she was sure that he was jealous, which he wouldn't admit openly!

"He couldn't see me with another man." She was clear of that, and a tiny hope claimed her logical senses.

"Maybe if I tried to understand him and persuade him to give this marriage a chance, this would work?" She squealed in delight at the very thought of having a family of hers who was going to love her and care for her.

A genuine smile appeared on her face and Jwalin saw that as his lips landed on her eyes while his hand grabbed her waist tightly, making her realize that he was hers.

His eyes shined brightly seeing her smile, which reached his eyes for the first time. "She smiled for me." With this, his lips crashed on her lips.

She didn't protest, "If he wanted to feel safe with me, then I'd make him feel secure."

"Moreover, I wanted to feel how good his affection would be!!" She pondered.

His one hand moved onto her bo*b and pressed it, while his other one roughly brushed her waist. She became stiff with this but slowly, her hands moved into his silky hair on their own accord.

Their lips moved in sync, and he slowly slipped his tongue into her mouth, and their tongues fought for dominance, which he won at last.

As he's tasting her mouth, his tongue is delving into each and every corner of her insides, and she's struggling to breathe. He understood that he sucked the air out of her lungs and left her for a minute.

They both panted hard for oxygen and once again, he pushed her for a kiss much deeper than the previous one.

"Delicious." He moaned, and a blush settled on her already red cheeks. He smirked at the impact he had on her.
