Saying that he caught her waist and hauled her up into his arms. He lowered his mouth to hers and captured her lips in a furious kiss.
Caught by him in his arms and lifted off the ground, Raashi barely realized what was happening before his mouth swooped down on hers. He was angry, she knew that, but well, so was she. No way was she going to let him dominate her this way. She caught his face in her hands and kissed him back.
What had meant to be a punishing kiss changed its tenor the moment their lips met and he realized that instead of resisting him like he expected her to, she was kissing him back with as much passion as he was kissing her.
And just like that, he forgot why they were fighting and that he was angry with her. He could only feel the pleasure of having her in his arms again. She pressed closer to him and hersoft mouth softened to the pressure of his own. Her delicate, delicious scent enveloped him, making him dizzy with need.
Raashi didn’t even think to resist. She had been dreaming of being in his arms, of being held by him like this for so long that she forgot everything. Every sane thought she possessed crumbled to dust the minute he drew her to him. She needed him, wanted him in a way that was unexplainable and indefinable. She had longed for him for weeks, months to be honest. So she gave herself completely into the kiss and kissed him back with all the pent up desire that she felt for him.
He broke the kiss and brought her down the length of his body, so slowly that she could feel every inch of him. So slowly, that she could feel the telltale sign of him being out of control and she reveled in the fact that she was the one making him hard with desire for her.
He kissed the hollow of her neck, nipping her where her pulse beat strong and fast. His hands skimmed the sides of her waist and then caressed the sides of her breasts before moving back to her waist again. He gathered the long skirts of her dress, lifted them and put his hands on her bare waist, caressing her skin. Raashi shuddered, giving in to all the pleasure. He felt it and knew she was with him, wanting him as much as he wanted her.
It had always been like this between them. Their relationship had never been a slow burn. It was downright fiery with fireworks exploding when they were together like this.
However, before he took this further he wanted to clear the air between them. But he couldn’t think with his hands on her skin. Reluctantly, he brought his hands back to her arms and held her gently.
“It’s only been you, Raashi.” He kissed her cheek and then her mouth softly. Between kisses, he whispered, “Ever since you came into my life, there has been no one else, just you. Tonight,it was just about closing the chapter with Natasha forever. It was a goodbye, nothing else.”
Her heart swelled with happiness. She ran a hand through his hair.
“I am not marrying Rithwik. I could never marry him. I asked him to kiss me because I was upset with you. I couldn’t even go through with it. I just lost my mind when I saw you with Natasha. The thought of another woman in your arms makes me mad and insanely jealous and I just acted terribly.”
“Why?” he queried softly.
She watched him waiting for her reply. She could give him some inconsequential answer and be done with the conversation or she could tell him the truth. In a heartbeat, she chose the latter. She was done being dishonest to herself about what she felt for him and she wasn’t going to be dishonest with him either. What he chose to make of her confession and how he would react was for later. Right now was the time for honesty. So, she told him what was in her heart.
“Because of you. Because, I love you. Because you are mine and only mine, Sameer. Because being with you, being around you and feeling you is all I long for. My life was empty without you. Loving you changed everything. You make me complete.”
Sameer stared at her. She was all that was perfect and she was his. Seeing Rithwik reach out to kiss her had been one of the most devastating moments of his life. At that moment, he’d understood one very critical fact - his heart belonged to her.
Holding her face in his hands, he said, “I only want you. Just you. No moment in my life is right without you in it. You own me. I have needed you for so long and now that I have you, I am never going to let you go. Know this, Raashi, you are mine and I will keep you forever. I love you.”
A torrent of emotions enveloped her. The most profound being joy. She had loved him for so long and to have that lovereturned was the most wondrous and joyous feeling in the world. She had laid her heart bare before him and now she knew what lay in his heart as well.
Raashi leaned in a little closer, her eyes never leaving Sameer’s. “Don’t you dare walk away again?”
“Never again,” he promised.
She smiled that sweet, sexy smile of hers that could bring him to his knees and brought his head down to hers. Their mouths met and the fireworks started anew. The kiss turned hot and then wild. It burned through his senses. It made his blood roar inside of him and pulse through his veins. She was everything he had ever dreamed of. She was all that he ever wanted. The soft curve of her mouth, the melting heat of her tongue, everything about her drove him mad.
Raashi knew what she desired and she knew only he could give it to her. She ached for him. Without moving her mouth from his, she reached across his shoulders and struggled to push his jacket off him. He helped her shrug it off. As she began unbuttoning his shirt, he unzipped her gown, while the kiss raged between them. They left a trail of clothes all the way to her bed.
She gasped in pure pleasure as she felt him on top of her. Her legs entangled with his. Her palms slid over his bare chest and biceps, coasting over his shoulders and down his arms. His muscles flexed under her fingers. She pulled his mouth to hers but Sameer had something else in mind. He cupped her breasts and caressed them. He dragged his tongue across one nipple and watched her surrender to him.
Raashi grew delirious with ecstasy as he paid homage to her body. He squeezed her breast with his fingers and then slowly dragged his wet tongue across the peak. Her mind spun as pleasure racked her body in waves. He was tormenting her senses. He accorded the same attention to her other breastwhere his mouth stayed. He took the entire breast is his mouth and sucked on it. Raashi grew mindless with desire, all her pent-up love for him rising to the fore.
His mouth still on her breast, Sameer lowered his other hand, caressing her stomach, her navel and then he found that one spot on her body that made her tremble. He entered her core first with one finger and then with two, increasing the pressure. She moaned and trembled as his fingers flexed in and out of her body and his mouth continued to suckle on her breast. Seeing her like this was driving him utterly insane but he had to see her lose control before he sought his own pleasure. He pressed his fingers deeper into her and watched her come undone.
She was spinning out of control. Her mind raced as her blood pounded heavily through her veins and her body rose to the demand of his fingers. The heat of his mouth and the pressure of his fingers increased and the world tilted as she shattered.
Sameer did not wait for her to come down from her high. He swooped in and kissed her again, releasing her only for a few brief moments to don the necessary protection and then he entered her hot, wet core. She gasped out loud at the overwhelming sensation of him inside her. He linked his hands with hers and lifted their joined hands over her head as he surged inside her, his mouth on hers kissing her frantically.
He was losing his mind. Nothing existed in this moment, except her. He filled her soft body with increased urgency as he raced towards completion.
Raashi wrapped her legs around him as he pushed into her, reigniting the fire within her. She heard his labored breaths, felt his hands as they bore into hers and knew he was with her all the way. The heat kept building as his tempo increased, tightening every muscle inside her. She held onto him as her world spun. Her head fell back as sensation slammed through her and thenshe fell and fell, through an abyss of light and darkness and stars and the sun.
Feeling her dissolve around him destroyed his control. Instinct took over as he pounded into her and then his mind blanked out. White light flashed behind his closed eyes as he surrendered himself completely to her.
