In her school days, she thought she was in love with her crush only to realize it was infatuation, and in college, she didn’t really connect with anyone to the point where she felt the need to get to know them or spend time with them. From their conversations, it surprised her how many common interests they shared, and she needed to have more. She wanted to be alive for every moment she had with him and not be bogged down by sadness.
“Jai, it’s so beautiful here. How much longer before we need to head out?” she asked, managing to keep her voice steady despite the turmoil.
A wicked twist appeared at the edge of his mouth as he turned to look at her as he went up the small flight of stairs. “I take it that you are enjoying yourself here. Maybe we should hang out here tonight and head over to the resort tomorrow.”
“What?” She was ecstatic. “Really?” When he nodded, she let out a joyous laugh and threw her arms around him. “Thank you!” She pulled back to look at him. “I can’t wait to eat dinner. Maybe we can sit outside?” She pointed to the small metal table and two chairs on the patio.
“Sure.” He shrugged. “We should be good to eat in about forty-five minutes.
“Cool. How can I help?” She looked around the kitchen where the oven was running, and both stoves were lit with what looked like a saute and a curry. He was diligently slicing onions for another dish.
“I’m all set. All I need you to do is eat.” He smiled, and she nodded suddenly, feeling liberated that she wasn’t going to be sad about what would happen in the months to come but spend joyous moments with the guy she couldn’t get over.
“Okay, how about I go shower and change while you wrap up cooking, and I can set up the table for us?” She took a few steps down the hallway and stopped to ask about their bags.
“Your bag is in the bedroom to the right. There is an attached bath in that room. I’ll use the other bathroom once I’m done here, so no rush,” he called out from the kitchen as if he read her mind.
“Okay,” she said, smiling like a fool, looking forward to what would be a romantic dinner outside. She was so focused on studying for her IAS exam she didn’t have time to date, and she thought it was dramatic when her friends talked about a romantic evening with their boyfriends. She knew then what made her friends so excited about going on a date.
Was that evening a date?
With that thought in mind, she set aside a casual yet cute dress that hit her at the knees for their evening together. One day at a time from that point is what she told herself. Don’t overthink!
Shortly after, she stepped out of the bathroom after a refreshing shower. She had a towel wrapped around her hair and a soft toweling robe. She looked around the room, and her eyes fell on the bed that was smaller than what they had at the palace, and she smiled, wondering how cozy it would be to be with him.
With those thoughts that took her to la-la-land, she took her time to get dressed. She had not packed any makeup as her team was supposed to meet her at the resort for the event the following day, but she wanted to look good for him. She rummaged through her bag and found an eye pencil, lipstick with gloss, and blush.
With how her cheeks turned red when she was around him, she knew she didn’t need a cheek tint. She decided to make her eyes a bit smokey and add extra gloss to her lips. Focused on putting on her eyeliner, she noticed something move on the window behind her when she looked in the mirror.
She shifted her focus to the small object on the window. Looking through the mirror, a squeal escaped her when she realized it was a lizard on the glass pane. To top it off, the small reptile started crawling, and that made her scream even louder.
It was a creature she could not stand the sight of and one she hadn’t had to deal with for years since her father made sure to put a screen over the exhaust fan in the bathroom. “Jai,” she called out, and before even she knew it, she was running out of the room, holding the towel around her body, close to her.
The towel around her head came loose and fell to the floor when she ran into the closed door in a frenzy. She couldn’t get herself to look in the direction of the creature to see where it was as she swung the door open.
She wanted to run down the hallway, away from the room infested with the reptile, and let out a gasp when she ran into the wall. A moment later, a strong arm wrapped around her, and she realized she had run into him.
He held her to him, his chest bare and heaving as she looked up into his eyes. “Jai… I… we can’t be there, that thing…” Her voice was lost in yet another squeal at the thought of the little reptile on the window. In her frenzy, she started pushing against him in an effort to get out of the cottage without any thought of what clothes they were wearing.
“Sanjana.” His voice was gruff as he held her to him, her flailing arms squeezed to her sides by his arm and her head against his chest. “You need to calm down.” His somewhat firm tone cut through her jitteriness, and she took a quick breather, but it did not help.
She slowly looked up into his eyes. “I can’t go…” Her voice trailed off when she suddenly became aware they were both barely clothed. He had a towel wrapped around his waist, and just as she was about to pull away in embarrassment, she felt something against her belly. His hardness dented into her, and that did something to her core. She had been close to him before but never at such an angle where their bodies were plastered together, and she could feel his desire.
Jai held her gaze as clouds of desire darkened his deep eyes. His hand went up to gently run his fingers through her damp hair while the other was burning into her waist as his fingers dug into her skin. He pulled her closer to him and planted a gentle kiss on her lips, and whispered, looking into her eyes, “You don’t need to go anywhere, you can be here… with me.”
She winced from her reaction to the intensity in his voice. She could only nod, unable to respond as she felt like she was under a spell. The hand that gently gripped her hair slowly moved down, his fingertips grazing her skin, the gentle stroke setting her body ablaze.
Everything seemed to slow down, and her body relaxed, forgetting everything about her frenzied state of mind as all her senses focused on one thing—his touch. His fingers trailed along the neck of the robe and deep down her chest. He stopped at the tip of the V-neck formed by the robe as if asking permission for more, and her breath hissed further. Reacting to his tantalizing touch, her body arched toward him, the towel around her loosening, but she didn’t care. She was focused on getting anything and everything from him.
As she ran her hand up to his neck before wrapping her arm around him, he ran his arm behind her back, further arching her body. The way her body was held, it opened up her shoulders, and the flesh of her breast peeked out. She heard him groan before he pushed the robe’s fabric with his mouth and brought his lips to her hardened nipple, digging his teeth into it. As a deep, sharp pleasure hit her, she let out a loud cry of joy, her nails digging into his flesh.
“Jai, I want… want you.” A half-plea, half-demand escaped her, and she snaked her fingers into his hair, holding him as he switched to tasting her other peak. His mouth was torturous and amazing at the same time, making her want more of him.
She felt the thrills triggered by his warm mouth and her deep longing for him. She let out a loud moan when he gave her breast a hard suck before letting go as if to urge him to keep going and not stop. Next thing she knew, his hand squeezed her soft breast and his lips found hers in a hungry kiss that robbed her of air, but she had no option but to match the intensity.
A moan escaped her, and she rolled her hips against him, like her body wanted to feel his hardness, and that made him shudder. Fueled by his reaction, she pressed her body closer to his as she poured everything into the kiss. Like he caught on to her body language, his hand let go of her nipple and trailed south.
Very soon, she felt his fingers trailing up her inner thigh as he pushed aside the robe. She pulled away from his lips for breath as his hand found her damp folds, and she let out a satisfied moan. She had wondered how it would be if he touched her in her deepest spot, and it was nothing like she had ever imagined. She buried her face into his neck, breathing hard as he drew the smallest circles possible over her throbbing core. He kept the circles going as he very slowly kept increasing the pressure on her swollen nub.
