Prithvi led Avantika to the dance floor and looked deep into her eyes. Taking hold of her waist he pulled her close, close enough to let the world know who she belonged too. The bare touch of his hand on her waist creating havoc inside her.
The air thrummed with the throbbing bass, a low vibration that resonated through Avantika's entire body. Her hand, resting on Prithvi's shoulder, felt the steady rhythm of his heartbeat, a pulse mirroring the music. Their intertwined hands moved in perfect sync, their bodies swaying to the rhythm without a care for the world around them.
"Did you really mean that?" Avantika asked, her voice a whisper barely audible over the music. Her gaze, steady and intense, met Prithvi's.
A mischievous glint flickered in his eyes. He gently pushed her away, his hold on her left hand unwavering. In an instant, he pulled her back, swirling her around in a dizzying spin. She landed, breathless, against his chest, their bodies practically touching.
"Mean what?" Prithvi asked, his voice a husky murmur. He led her in a slow, rhythmic circle, their steps an intimate dance.
Avantika, her heart pounding against her ribs, raised her hand to his nape "That you love me?"
Prithvi chuckled, a low rumble that vibrated through her. He turned her around, his arms wrapping around her waist, his chest pressed against her back. They continued their silent conversation through the language of their bodies, the rhythmic sway of their dance, the unspoken words hanging in the air.
"If I tell you, you have to promise to kiss me" he whispered, his breath warm on her ear.
Avantika didn't reply, but her breath hitched, a silent confession. Prithvi, his lips barely a whisper from her ear, sensed her hesitation.
"It's pitch black in here" he said, his voice a playful tease "But I can feel you blushing"
He leaned in, his lips brushing her ear, sending shivers down her spine. The music, with its relentless beat, was suddenly irrelevant. All that mattered was the space between them, the closeness of their bodies, the promise hanging in the air. Their world shrunk to the size of their shared breath, the weight of their unspoken feelings.In an instant, he had turned her back to him, his gaze burning into her soul.
"You know what" he breathed, his voice husky with desire.
Avantika gulped, her heart pounding like a drum "What?" she whispered, her voice barely above a thread.
Prithvi's fingertips trailed gently down her bare waist, sending shivers down her spine. Avantika's body stiffened, and she involuntarily dug her nails into his shoulder.
"You are looking so tempting in this sarree" Prithvi murmured, his words a caress "It is becoming difficult for me to resist myself from..."
Avantika's breath caught in her throat "From..." she whispered, her voice trembling.
Prithvi leaned closer, his lips brushing her neck "Kissing you" he breathed, his voice a seductive whisper. He placed a tender kiss on her skin, sending a wave of desire coursing through her body.
Avantika gasped and pulled away "Everyone's here, please stop" she pleaded.
Prithvi smirked "Then how about in private?" he asked, his voice a tantalizing proposition.
Avantika's eyes widened in alarm, and she turned to run. But Prithvi was too quick. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, her back flush against his chest."Don't run before taking this"
He gently placed her hairs to one side and put the pendant back on her neck.
"Your pendant, you left in the godown" He said and Avantika turned towards him with teary eyes.
"I thought I lost it" She murmured while Prithvi kissed her forehead wiping the tear off "Then I would have gotten new, with the same design"
