Silent Affair (On Hold)

Chapter Thirty Four

Picking her up in his arms, Arnav took Khushi back to their room. Khushi buried her face in Arnav's neck, feeling her heated cheeks as she wrapped her arm around his neck and held him.

Arriving into their room, Arnav placed Khushi down to her feet. He caressed her cheeks within his hands, but Khushi couldn't meet his gaze, feeling awfully shy; the way he was gazing at her... she just couldn't look up at him. But Arnav couldn't help himself but to look at her in awe. He really loved this woman more than anything and couldn't help but to think how strong Khushi was. After everything she had been through, she was still here, and he made a silent vow that no matter what, from this moment forward, he would always stay by her side, and he sealed it with a kiss.

Khushi placed her hands over his and kissed him in return. She felt her body hum and bloom, her heart fluttering in her chest. And when she felt his lips move to her neck, Khushi thought her heart would pop out of her chest. A small, breathy moan escaped from her lips, Khushi turning her head away, giving Arnav more access, as her hands moved to his sides and clutched onto his waistcoat. Arnav brought his hands down, holding her by her waist. Khushi couldn't help but to shudder at the feeling of his warm hand over her cool flesh. Desire began to build within her and all Khushi could think of was Arnav's hands exploring every bit of her body.

Khushi felt Arnav nip at her flesh, and she gasped, her hold on him tightening. She felt him nuzzle his nose beneath her ear, causing her to shudder once more. His right hand moved up to the pallu of her sari and as Arnav placed a soft kiss on her neck, he brushed the fabric off, it falling and getting caught in between them. Khushi let out a small gasp and her grip tightened. She kept her gaze down as Arnav slightly pulled back and looked at her. He tilted her chin up to him, and feeling shy, Khushi continued to look away. Blush bloomed on her cheeks, Arnav taking note of their rosy shade.

"Do you trust me," Arnav whispered.

Khushi looked up into Arnav's eyes, gazing into them for a moment, before she nodded.

Arnav took hold of the fabric in between them and began to slowly unwind the fabric around her, both unable to remove their eyes off of each other. Khushi's sari came completely undone, Arnav holding it in his hands before he tossed it aside. Khushi couldn't help but to scowl at Arnav for doing that - especially given the price of it - but Arnav simply rolled his eyes with a small smile as he shook his head.

"It's just a sari."

Khushi tilted her head, continuing to scowl at him.

Arnav couldn't help but to chuckle and nuzzled her neck, which instantly took Khushi's attention away from the sari. Even Arnav's attention went away from the sari, his mouth working up Khushi's neck. His hands wandered from her waist to her back, and Khushi let out a small sigh at the feeling of his warmth. They moved up a little higher, moving over the clasps of her blouse. Khushi only then remembered the placement of the clasps and her eyes slightly widened as her jaw slacked. Before she could even process it, Arnav released the three hooks that held her blouse together. Khushi's grip tightened once more as her eyes clamped shut, her heart racing even more. Because the blouse had a very scooped-cut back, Khushi was unable to wear her bra without it showing. Luckily the blouse had support of its own and gave her a decent shape, but it's not like Arnav knew.

Until now.

Khushi shuddered in Arnav's hold, her grip still tight. Arnav slightly pulled back and looked at her, though Khushi was unable to meet his gaze. Keeping his eyes on her, Arnav spread the fabric apart. Khushi felt it move along her, slowly exposing her flesh, bit by bit. She felt it come off of her shoulders and skim down her arms, and when she felt that her breasts were exposed, she snuck a glance up at Arnav, only to see him already looking at her. Khushi only got lost in daze, her somewhat surprised that instead of ogling her body, Arnav's eyes were only on hers. But then again, she knew her Arnav very well.
