Reckless Rival : An Indian college romance

Chapter 22

Weeks followed with crazy class schedules, intense boxing practice, and passion-filled nights. Nami was having the busiest but best time of her life. Ramya and Vasavi were very accommodating roommates who didn't object to Rana spending the nights in her room, and he being the perfect gentleman, always entered and left her room through her balcony.

That day she had an early-morning presentation to the architecture department for her project. She crawled out of bed slowly so as not to wake Rana and slipped into the bathroom.

Shortly after, she was almost ready to go when he woke up. "You're up early. Your presentation is not for another few hours."

"I know, but I want to make sure nothing goes awry. Not after all the time you spent helping me."

He chuckled, sitting up. "I did nothing and don't be so nervous. I'll go with you."

"No." She was in a frenzy as she combed her hair. "I'll go, don't worry."

He looked at her for a long moment. "Don't go until I come back." He stepped into the bathroom, and she went back to looking at her notes.

Nami was lost in reviewing her notes and did not pay attention to him stepping out of the bathroom and sneaking up behind her. The next thing she knew, her notes were flying in the air and her body was mid-air before she landed on her bed.

"Rana—" He swallowed her anger with a kiss, his lips satiating her before they trailed lower. Her eyes blazed as he pinned her to the mattress with his weight, kissing every inch of her. "What are you doing? I need... I need to go."

He buried his lips deeper into her exposed skin, sucking it, making need pool between her legs. "Do you want me to stop?"

"Oh God, I..." When her words trailed off, he stilled his lips on her belly, and the need turned into pain. "Don't stop." It was a plea.

Smiling knowingly, he pulled down the panties she had on under her robe and closed his mouth over her drenched nub. She moaned, hiding her face in the pillow to keep her voice down. The small of her back raised off the mattress, opening up invitingly to his expert seduction. He knew her body too well, what ignited her, what areas set her off, and how to take her to peaks of absolute pleasure and thrill.

When he was done with her, she took in a hissing breath as her chest heaved, and he came up to kiss her, setting off mini orgasms after making her soar through the skies like a shooting star. "You are so bad."

He kissed her one more time before pulling her to him on the bed. "You need to chill, baby. You got this."

She smiled, pulling his arm around her, enjoying the snuggles. "I hate you so much. One of these days, I'm gonna get back at you."

He took a nibble of her ear. "Bring it on, baby."

Days later, she was leaving her architecture class when the professor called out to her. She had not heard from the department after her presentation with the updates in her plan, and she dreaded the results.

"Ms. Varma," the older professor said, smiling, and added, "I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised by your persistence and the work you have put in to update your designs."

She smiled broadly. "Thank you so much, Professor."

"All the best. You should hear from the department next week." The professor smiled before walking away.

Ecstatic and wanting to share the news first with Rana, she looked up his location on her phone. She was expecting to see him in the engineering department, but to her surprise, he was in the sports center.
