Turning her around, I let her legs wrap around my waist as I pulled her closer. She rested her hands on my chest while I ran my fingers through her long hair.
We stayed like that for a while. Her shaku breaths had turned soft and slower than before indicating her calm figure.
I tucked her chin in between my fingers, bringing up her face to lock our eyes. Her dark brown orbs looked really dull. The sclera had turned slightly red from the crying, the lower eyelids had swollen up a bit. Her nose was quite red and swollen too. She looked so beautiful yet so broken. The wet lashes made her already glossy eyes look just too beautiful.
I just couldn't break the eye contact. Her slow breaths made me want to kiss her slowly, taking away her pain for a while and make her forget everything at the moment.
"Nav", she called me out, her voice just above a whisper.
I hummed.
"Touch me", she responded to my hum.
I was a bit taken aback. This would've sounded good if both of us has been in a different situation but now, she was broken and weak. Being unable to perceive the meaning, I asked, "What do you mean baby? I'm sorry but I don't understand."
"He has touched me. His disgusting touches are on my skin, still. Please help me get rid of them", she replied, her voice slightly breaking.
"But baby, you're weak. You know we can't have sex when your body can't handle anything", I replied, caressing her cheek with one hand. A tear slid down her each eye and I was quick enough to wipe them off.
"I'm sorry baby. I didn't want to hurt you. It's just that I was worried about you", I spoke both worrying and panicking seeing her shedding tears again.
"I don't know anything right now Arnav. Please touch me. Just—just purify me. I can handle you I promise", she replied clutching my shirt tightly under her fists.
I sighed, still not looking away. We both wanted each other. Because after staying away for so long, we longed for our touches and closeness. The warmth and comfort that was taken away from us had left us desire for each other's touches and it was evident in her eyes too.
"If you want it, then we'll do it. I've been wanting this since the moment I saw you. I missed you more than you can think of. But I never thought about telling you about it because you were weak. I'm sorry", I whispered against her lips, my forehead attached to hers.
While I caressed her cheeks with both of my hands, she had her eyes closed, feeling the warmth of my hands. As I stared at her, I felt my heart cracking again. I wanted to say so many things to her but I couldn't because of the mental state she was in and my words might bring back those haunting memories. I'll keep them for later on.
I tilted her head upwards a bit before joining our lips. I kept my lips on hers, for a few seconds to let her know that I'll take it slow. She wrapped her arms around my neck as she nodded.
