chapter 24

Chapter 24Romance in the rainThey started walking back down the path, when the breeze suddenly intensified. Trees around them swayed like pendulums and the dead leaves were whisked up high towards the sky. Ishiqa caught hold of her skirt as it billowed, showing her creamy thighs. She looked into Ved’s eyes, just in time to catch the liquid fire well up in their depths, even as he hurried her towards the car. “It looks like it’s is going to rain heavily .” They took shelter in the car, as thunder rolled breaking the calmness of the night. Lightning lit up the sky menacingly. They drove past the busy city lights as big droplets of water fell on the windscreen, only to be aggressively pushed away by the wipers. The city was not prepared for this celestial onslaught and the traffic moved slowly. They let out a sigh of relief when they reached Ishiqa’s flat safely. “Ved, please stay the night here; the weather is really bad,” Ishiqa insisted as the storm got worse.“Do not worry, Ishq; I will be safe.” Ved brought out an umbrella out and helped her cross the small path to the gate leading to her apartment building. She snatched the umbrella from his hand and ran forward laughing. He scowled as rain beat down on him and he ran behind her to get under the shelter of the umbrella again. Ishiqa squealed and moved it away, getting drenched in the process. He grabbed her free hand and twisted it behind her. He shook his head to shower her with droplets even as she squealed, “You are hurting me!” He growled menacingly, “This is just the beginning, my sweetheart…” She shivered as she was wet through and through. “You’ve ruined my dress!” She tried to hit him but he was out of her reach.  “Oh yeah? And what do you have to say about my clothes?” he asked, shaking his head again.She stopped struggling and looked at him enticingly. “What about them? They look fine to me.” He looked so kissable and desirable with his clothes clinging to him. A devilish gleam entered his eyes. But now she was able to escape his grip and ran towards the building. He caught her around her waist from behind and twirled her back into the rain before she could enter the parking space. He caught her tight against him and pushed her against a pillar. He traced the outline of her face with one index finger and followed the trail with fiery kisses, moving down her hot, wet body. He licked her wet hair away from her cheek with his tongue. She moaned as she felt his finger trace the path down to her wet and sleek inner thighs. He pressed her against him, their bodies moulded as one. He traced the outline of her breasts, taking the heavy delightful weight in his hands, thrilling her further as he bit the rosy bud of one nipple through the fabric of her dress, sending hot sweet fire through her body. He lifted his head and kissed her lips as she clung to him, clutching his shoulders tightly, gasping for air. “I love you, Ishiqa,” he gasped thickly as his hands explored her body under the thick curtain of the rains.
