His Obsession

Chapter 28

The tortured boy lay with the agonized haunting memories shadowing him like a cloak, choking him. The screams, the pain, the fire, the blood...so much blood.The gut-wrenching agony, the desperate shouts for help, the piercing cries for his loved ones. The cruel bouts of laughter, the maniacal face smiling triumphantly...

The young man sat up gasping, breathing quickly, pulling as much air as he could in his trembling body. His heavy shapely muscular body was covered in a fine sheen of sweat, unconcerned with all this he turned to the other person on the bed. He watched her sleep, his eyes roamed over her tiny petite form, his eyes held immense love, gently laying down beside the girl the young man with haunting eyes enfolded his huge muscular form around the girl's small self. His hold is possessive yet tender, his haunted gaze slowly softening to adoration, his devastated soul absorbing the warmth and goodness from the sleeping beauty beside him. His eyes fixated on her as if she was the most precious thing in the world, he was tracing her features glinting with awe, longing & so much love. The soft winds with the twinkling midnight witnessed the Unique but Broken love quietly wishing them strength looking sadly at the tortured soul.

The night changed into a bright morning, the shining sun rays peeking through the windows rousing the dead. Maharukh opened her eyes to the world & found herself entangled or rather Aarej hugging her like an octopus. His shirtless body draped over her, his face buried in her neck, his hands like steel manacles around her waist. Her sleepy eyes wandered to the sleeping adonis, the wrinkles on his forehead & the narrowed eyes hinting at his distressed sleep. Maharukh hated it when the demons of his past enclose him making him helpless. She wanted to help him, relieve him of those hideous shadows but was unable to. Her fingertips grazed at his smooth forehead straightening the lines, & surprisingly they did. She felt Aarej taking a huge inhale of her scent & relaxing into her. It was such a heady feeling that she could make It better for Aarej, whatever It was. Maharukh was smiling unconsciously, unknowing that two emerald eyes were trained on her parted lips. As she turned her head towards him she found herself staring into his glowing eyes. His gaze was smoldering, her hand still on his forehead. She turned scarlet, quickly moving her hand but Aarej gripped it firmly pulling it to his cheeks. He sighed happily absorbing her touch while, staring at her unbelievably. It was getting unbearable for Maharukh to sit there, with his shirtless body laying on her & his scorching halos drilling her small frame. She tried to sit but unfortunately only managed to tumble closer to him. Aarej was expressionless except for the quirking of his lips...Oh My Allah...that stupid man was enjoying this...Suddenly, he was intense, the air permeated with anticipation, his darkened gaze riveted on my face, my body heated I could feel each & every inch of his body touching mine, self consciously I tried to free myself from his hulky body squirming madly but no avail. He lowered his face, quickly crossing the distance between our faces while I gawked at him wide-eyed. Frightened, I closed my eyes then I felt a feather-light touch on my eyelids. He kissed both of my eyelids then my red nose to my burning cheeks then going back to my forehead. He lingered there setting his forehead while I was amazed at his aching gentleness & thoughtfulness. I reluctantly opened my eyes and was enraptured in his ferocious eyes filled with such desire, need & unbelievable love. I blinked unable to bear the naked intensity of his feelings. He could read the myriad of emotions displayed on my burning face, his woodsy musky scent directly going to my head making me breathless, I was shivering at his proximity to my shirtless body. His heat, his scent, and his slumbering gaze all made me crazy. My body was a catalog of unknown sensations, I was mortified by the way my body was responding to his closeness. I was a quivering mass, I wanted to move away No, I needed to move away if I had to retain my sanity. I raised my pleading eyes to his hypnotizing one, willing him to let me go. His fiery halos melted to poignant tenderness, kissing my forehead achingly he removed my hand from his cheek & then with a deliberate smoldering look my way he pecked my palm going all the way to my fingertips & only then he lifted me by my hand, stretching his six foot plus frame with that easy masculine grace. He helped me up after pecking my forehead, he stalked to the closet displaying all of his muscles as he stretched & flexed on the way while I remained frozen feeling the aftereffects of his mindblowing spell entranced by his undulating charm.
