Chapter 13

After reaching home, Arhaan helped her till their room, " Change your clothes " Arhaan said and went towards the changing room himself to get his clothes .

When Hoor came out in her night dress, Arhaan was already sitting with his back against the headboard . Hoor sat beside him, but didn't say anything . She didn't know how to start explaining .

Arhaan looked at her fidgeting body for a minute, then asked " Are they always like this ? " he asked , and Hoor nodded, not wanting to hide anything .

Arhaan closed his eyes, thinking about the verbal abuse she had to go through . The hurt on his face did something to Hoor's heart .

She touched his cheek, loving the feel of his stuble .Arhaan opened his eyes and saw Hoor sitting by her folded legs looking at him .

" It's okay , I had been with them for a month or so only . I lived with my own mother till then. When she died , I had to come here and live with father. Step mother didn't liked me , she made sure to get me married as soon as she can " Hoor said the last part with a bitter smile.

" Not that I expected her to ,it seems like Allah hadn't sent me to be loved in this world. I always seemed to be a burden or a trouble for others "The pain and the acceptance of what she said was clear in her voice. As if she had compromised with this bitter reality .

Arhaan didn't liked it one bit. He pulled her in his lap sideways and wrapped his arms around her . He kissed the top of her head then her temple . " You are meant to be loved , more than anyone ."

Hoor moved a little back and looked in his eyes" do you love me?" She asked ,expecting him to deny .

Arhaan looked at her for a moment, then said " If love is looking at you and feeling peace, then I do love you " Arhaan traced her lower lip and then said" If love is wanting you smiling all the time, feeling happy at seeing you happy , then I do love you "he touched her neck, his fingers tracing her pulse " If love is wanting to be close to you all the time, to look after your every need , to fulfill your every wish , then I do love you " .

Arhaan cupped her face "If love is wanting to rip everyone apart who had hurt you , then I do love you " .Hoor felt her breath stopping , she could see the truth in her eyes, every word he said , he believed it completely .

Arhaan held the back of her head and brushed his lips on her. Their eyes were still locked , Arhaan's eyes went glazed, he licked her lower lip teasingly , then bit it softly. He didn't want her pain , he wanted to only give her pleasure, shower her in his love .

Hoor closed her eyes and opened her lips, loosing herself in his touch. His touch was pleasurable to her.

Arhaan started kissing her lazily , softly , savoring her flavor. He tasted every corner of her and started losing him in the kiss also . The hands which were caressing her hair, massaging her neck , now moved towards her back.

Hoor's breath hitched on his touch. He started moving it up and down on her back lazily . Arhaan was loving her soft curves. He wanted to feel her bare skin , his hands were staying longer on the hem of her shirt with each cycle. Hoor could feel that he was losing control, his kiss was getting more intense, more passionate .

She placed her hands on his shoulders and pressed , Arhaan moved back breathing heavily . Hoor's cheeks were red , looking even more inviting to Arhaan . He was getting drunk on her , her presence intoxicating him. He caressed her cheek softly .

" Arhaan ... please..." Hoor whispered in a soft voice and hid her face in his chest . She was getting scared by his intensity , his love.

Arhaan understood that she wasn't ready to face his feelings yet , he took some calming breathes hiding his face in hair.

He laid down with her in his arms , after dimming the lights he asked her to sleep . Hoor was tired from all the hustle , she fell asleep in minutes.
