I felt my sanity hanging on a thick line and my breathing hitched when his fingers traced my exposed neck. He was surely enjoying at my expense as I saw him smirk with my half-open eyes.

"Anirudh...", a breathy moan escaped my throat as his hand travelled from my shoulder following the length of my hand and disappearing near the exposed portion of my waist. My eyebrows creased with the sensual tension between us. It was so intense and agonizing. My chest heaved up and down rapidly as my brain seemed to freeze with all the sensations.

I felt my stomach flip when his thumb grazed a circle around my navel as the air left my lungs leaving me all breathless.

Suddenly his grip tightened around me and I felt his hot breath hovering over my face. I opened my eyes and saw him close, too close to me. He leaned forward and caressed his cheek with my coloured cheek, applying the gulaal on his cheek.

The whole thing was so hot and unbearable as I felt my lashes closed yet again and my mouth parted open. My whole body felt immobile at his mercy as I lost control over it with those overflowing emotions. He had coloured me and himself with the colour of our love and now there was no going back.

His eyes darkened and his Adam's apple bobbed. Our eyes had intense eye contact none deciding to step back, the unbearable emotions so hard to handle.

"I can't even look at you without wanting to kiss you", he admitted and rested his forehead on mine

• Anirudh's POV •

"Then do it, kiss me", she said and I wasted no time in taking her lips in mine. Her gulaal-coloured lips tainted me with want and desire.

She tasted of strawberries and now it was my  personal favourite. The kiss was ferocious. With so much intensity and emotions. Her fingers were lost in my hair as she tugged on my nape making me go more wild.

My hands found her hips, and I lightly pulled her closer tugging on her bottom lip as she sucked on my upper lip. No words were exchanged between us as we were too overpowered by desires.

I tightened my grip on her hips and jerked her body slightly forward. She tapped on my shoulder probably fighting for breath. I broke apart as we both panted for oxygen. She lifted her eyes back to mine, and I watched her throat work as she swallowed.

Her chest rose upwards cast her eyes downwards, and looked in between our bodies biting her already swollen lower lip. I didn't have to follow her eyes to see that my hard-on was noticeable.

Her hooded eyes, swollen lips, and dishevelled hair looked so damn hot and irresistible that I found myself attacking her lips again kissing her to my heart's content.

She had no idea what she was getting herself into. Because it took everything in me not to rip her clothes apart and take her right then and there.

After some time I broke from the kiss and softly pecked her lips resting our foreheads against each other.

"I wanna be everything", I said, my mouth against her ear as she lifted her lashes looking at me in the eyes

"I want to be the reason you light up. I wanna make you laugh, make you moan, make you safe", I  kept stroking her hair as she looked at me with those emotion-filled eyes

"I want to be the thought that lulls you to sleep. The memory that gets you off. I wanna be where all your paths end,",  He slowly nipped her earlobe and found her breathing quickening a little

"I wanna do everything you do to me", I confessed and she stared confusingly at me

"I talked to my family about you, they seem to like you already. They are excited to meet you. I know you might be confused now and might even freak out but let me be honest with you I love you a lot. I can't live without you Sadhana, I want to marry you"
