The Warrior

Part 46 LAST PART

He picked her up in his arms and walked towards the village... not caring about anyone this time he entered the small house...

She continuously gazed at him, forgetting everything this time...all she wanted was to be with him, throughout her life...little regrets came floating in her mind for leaving him just because her mother didn't like his job but today she felt stronger, just because he accepted her, he confessed his love.

That was all she wanted, all these years of waiting were now over. Finally she has him, her Veer... who madly loves her.

She could feel his strong hold around her...

He put her gently on the bed while turning on the little lamp on the side...

"Don't stare like this Veer..." she whispered touching the stubble on his face...

"You're beautiful" he whispered coming closer to her mouth....

One word, first word ever from him made her melt in his arms... "I love you Veer..."

"I love you too Aarti..."

The dark room filled with cool winds coming from a small window were making her hair fall on her face.

She blushed and swiped the hair from her face to look into his eyes... he sat closer holding her from the waist...her heart started to race a bit more.

She tried to sit straight on the bed

"Aarti, all these years I have made you wait...I don't know how to say that..."

She kept her hand on his mouth "you don't have to say..."

"Let me say this today, I rarely thought about you because this was the way I am. And not until you left me did I realize the need and love that I had seen in your eyes..."

He kissed her gently, his mouth easy on hers. Then he pulled her closer, and he tightened his grip on her arms....he pulled her down, tangling his fingers in her hair, the pain pleasurable as he kissed her harshly. She curled into him and nuzzled his neck. "I've missed you."

"I've missed you, too. I wanted to call you" He closed his eyes and exhaled slowly. "But my ego..."

He gently pushed her on the bed and came on top of her. Feeling a little helpless, and more than a little excited and nervous, too, she made no effort at all to evade him.

she did not tell him no or make attempt to get away because she wanted him to kiss her, and she faced the truth of that, her heart pounded a mile a minute and her blood heated.... Their eyes were still locked as his mouth found hers.

She closed her eyes, this time the pressure of his lips was firmer. His hand came up to cradle her jaw, caress her cheek and at the same time tilt her head so their mouths fit together perfectly.

The slightly roughened texture of his fingers and the rasp of his stubble against her own soft skin made her go all light- headed. He kissed her with a slow, unhurried finesse that erased the thought of everything else from her mind.

When his grip on her tightened and he took total possession her mouth in response she instinctively slid her arms around his neck.

Aarti was breathless and quivering with all the unbelievable things his kiss was making her feel and some of that must have been obvious to him because his eyes were suddenly hot.

He slide his hand down her throat and over the fine lawn covering her upper chest set off alarm bells in her mind, slowly taking off the thin dupatta his hands moved towards her back to pull the strings of her suit...
