FF : I Can't Let Her Go! Part 43

Khushi almost made her decision...

She moved her hand to the lock but Arnav slammed his hand down hard on the door...

"I can't let you leave...I don't know why...but I feel it's not safe for you...and so you're going to listen to me!"

Khushi didn't turn around...

She thought of Anjali having her baby...

She thought of Akash and Payal waiting inside...

They were all safe in the waiting area of the hospital...the police were guarding them...

Her thought's were at war...

But knowing that the rest of the family were safe...

Slowly turning around, she came face to face with her husband...

She was afraid of him, but at the same time, severely worried for him...

He had memory loss from the injury on his head...but yet, he still had protected her...

"...he's still there...I know his heart recalls who I am..." she thought to herself..."but he is ASR at the moment...and I have to be careful..."

She took a deep breath in and felt her chest pull...

Her nerves were still on edge from the heat exhaustion...

"Look at me...Miss Khushi Kumari Gupta..." He commanded...

Khushi looked up as he started walking towards her...

Fear began to engulf her..."P...ppllease...I will stay...just...just...please don't come any closer..."

Arnav smirked..."why...you seemed so brave just before..."

He stood directly in front of her waiting for her response...

"I...I didn't cheat on you...He...Shyamji...he...he lied to you..."

"I know...you told me the story...but...Why...I..." he growled in fury..."I feel as though I need to protect you...I feel like I've forgotten something very serious..."

Khushi stook as still as she could, trembling all over..."It's all okay Arnavji...We are safe in here...I'm not leaving you until your memory has returned..."

Without warning, his mouth came down hard on hers. 

She could feel his anger...his frustration...and even though her heart was thumping violently in fear,  she knew he wasn't going to hurt her. 

He was fighting himself, and it was the fighting that made the kiss harsh. 

He didn't give her time to breathe, but pushed his tongue between her lips. 

Khushi didn't pull away, she didn't fight back.

Her acquiescence seemed to make him angrier. 

His hands left her shoulders and he held her face, angling it so he could take more, go deeper. 

She felt him shudder when her tongue stroked his. 

The tension in his body surrounded her but didn't invade her.

Roughly, he tore his mouth from hers.  "Damn it...I don't know what's going on...and..." he raked his hand through his hair..."My head is pounding..."  

His voice was coarse and filled with pain, his breathing ragged.

Her voice shook as she spoke..."Don't be afriad Arnavji...I...I love you...even though you may not remember..."

With a low groan, he took her mouth again. 

The fierce passion was still there. 

But this time...the anger wasn't. 

She wrapped her arms around his back and held on tight.

...........

Akash and Payal were still pacing in the waiting room..."Where is Khushi!?" Payal asked the police officer...

"I saw her meet Mr. Raizada...so wherever they are, they are together..."

"Akash..." Payal faced her husband..."what if Shyamji got to them?"

"Don't think that way..." Akash now spoke to the guard..."Please would you send someone out to scout the area? Just to make sure they are safe?"

"Right away sir..." and the policeman called in extra officers to search the outside of the hospital...

"Chote!?" Nani poked her head out from behind the labour room door...

"Nani, uh...Bhai had to ...Uh...he's ..."

"He's outside with Khushi...the police are fetching them now..."

Nani smiled and said..."come...Come in and meet baby Akshay"

As they entered the maternity room, Anjali greeted them with a huge beaming smile...

Nani quickly assured her that Arnav and Khushi were on their way...

"it's okay Nani...No rushing...I have my little boy..." Anjali lifted him higher for Akash and Payal to see...

They all hugged, kissed and cried happily together...

...........

Khushi heard herself sigh as she buried her face in his shoulder ...

Arnav felt his heart beating wildly...he also felt a roaring pain throb inside his head...

"Arnavji?"

"I...Khushi..." he started to blink slowly...

"Arnavji...! Please...sit..." she tried to lead him to the chair but he collapsed onto her...

Khushi felt his body weight press into her body as he fainted...

Her back hit the door behind her and she slowly slid to the floor...using all her strength to take him with her...

As she gently lay his head on her lap, she began to cry...

"Oh God...will this ever stop...Arnavji, I miss you so much...even though you're here...I...I need you..."

She rested her head back on the hard door...her fingers ran through his hair...

Her heart ached and she tried to regulate her breathing...

She didn't know how much time passed before he started to wake...

Arnav grimaced as he tried to turn his head...

Khushi saw his eyes flickering and her pulse quickened...

She was afraid...

Afraid he still wouldn't remember...

Afraid that he would be worse...

Afraid that she was going to lose him...

But she quickly stifled her anxiety...she loved him, and needed to focus on him...

His eyes opened slowly and he saw Khushi...

Arnav immediately breathed a sigh of relief seeing her...

Ignoring the pain in his head, he sat up as fast as he could...

"...no no Arnavji...don't sit up too fast...you hurt your..."
 

Arnav silenced her with a kiss full of love and gentleness...

He held her carefully in his arms and let his hands carefully trail over her arms...

"He's here...Arnavji's here..." her mind became stronger, as her body collapsed...

She lifted her hands to his collar and pulled him against her as she began to sob turbulently...

Worry took hold and Arnav broke their kiss to look down at her...

Her lips trembled, plump teardrops glistened on her cheeks...

"Khushi? Sweetheart what happened  Are you okay?"  his hands came up to touch her face and Khushi involuntarily flinched away...

Stricken with panic, Arnav froze..."Khushi...? Khushi it's me..."

His gaze wandered from her face and realisation pummelled through him...

He saw where they were...

He ran his hand behind his neck, feeling the pain in his head...

He remembered fighting Shyam...Falling...Waking up here...Seeing Shyam...Shyam lying to him once again...

And finally...he let out a terrified groan as his mind flashed back to Khushi...

His eyes were tortured as he started down protectively at her...

"I had grabbed her, pulled her to this broken down storeroom, and threw her right in front of...." his thoughts raced with everything that happened...his anger...his carelessness...her fear...her terror...shyam's threats...shyam's lies...

Holding her as if she would break, Arnav spoke softly..."oh...oh my God Khushi...I...I...I'm so...I can't believe...I..."

His body was starting to shake..."Khushi..." his eyes drank her in...she was safe...she was with him...but..."everything I said...everything I did..."

Her eyes opened, dripping with tears..."Do...Do you know who I am now Arnavji...?"

His breathing halted as his own eyes began to tear up...unable to speak, he just nodded...

Khushi smiled slightly..."then it's okay now..." 

He saw her trying to make HIM feel better...but he saw her fear, her despair...

He stood up slowly and helped her to stand...

Hey eyes shifted from left to right, as if trying to find somewhere to hide from him...

"Khushi..." he whispered...

She didn't know what do to...or what to say...

"Hell with it..." in one leap he was holding her in his arms, and in less than a second, his mouth was suctioned to hers...

She gasped as she felt his hot breath against her face...

His need for her rose in him more violent than a tidal wave...

Khushi cried out in relief...

He kissed her until he felt the tension leave her...

Softly he pulled his lips from hers..."I was so scared Arnavji...I was so..."

"I know...I know..."

"I didn't know what to do...Shyamji was standing right in front of me..."

Arnav let her speak out her fear...

"I ran to you, but...but you...you didn't...He could have..."

Arnav slid his arm around her waist and firmly ran his other hand up her back to cradle her neck..."Never...Never Khushi...You're mine..."

As she gasped for breath, his lips brushed hers gently...

"I love you..."

"I love you Arnavji..."

Suddenly Khushi's eyes flew open..."You...You were hurt...We have to go and get you checked...NOW!"

He gave a small smile hearing her concern..."Khushi, I'm okay...I..."
 

Khushi glared up at him...

"I will go right now to get checked out..." Arnav said as he kissed her forehead...

As Khushi turned towards the door she stopped so quickly that Arnav walked into her...

His arms reached out to steady her..."Khushi? What happened?"

Her hands clung to his arms that were holding her tightly around her waist...

"What if he's still there...?"

Arnav instantly walked in front of her..."He won't touch you Jaan...I promise..."

He opened the door and came face to face with the police officer...Arnav instantly remembered  him...when he told him to go and get Khushi...

"Mr. Raizada? Mrs. Raizada? Are you both alright?"

Arnav gave him a furious stare and pushed past him...

Following them, the officer spoke, "Sir, we have brought in an extra team to guard the parking area..."

Arnav halted and spun around..."Well it's too bloody late for that isnt' it!?!"

Khushi placed her hand on his shoulder and Arnav quieted...

He held her hand tighter and continued into the hospital...

Payal and Akash were just exiting Anjali's room when they saw Arnav and Khushi...

"What!? Where have you both been!?" Payal shreiked...

"Oh my God, Di!!!" Khushi and Arnav said in unison...

Still gripping Khushi's hand, Arnav ran into Anjali's room...

Anjali immediately lit up..."Chote! Khushiji! You're here!"

Arnav and Khushi approached the bed slowly and saw the baby..."it's a boy...Akshay..."

Tears filled Khushi's eyes..."oh my...he's beautiful..."

Arnav smiled and cupped Anjali's face..."Are you okay?"

She was about to answer when she saw how pale Arnav looked..."Am I okay? Are YOU okay Chote?!"

Anjali's doctor entered the room and Khushi immediately said, "listen, I need a doctor to check my husband...quickly please..."

The doctor looked at Khushi and then to Arnav...."What has happened?"

Anjali was also asking the same question as Khushi retold all that happened...

Finally Khushi looked at Anjali and said, "I'm so sorry to say all this in front of you Di..."

Shaking her head, Anjali held Khushi's hand..."No no, Khushiji...I'm glad you did...He has to be stopped...I can't believe that Chote lost his memory..."

The doctor intervened..."Temporary memory loss is quite common during a head injury...the base of his skull is still slightly swollen so don't be alarmed if he still doesn't remember some minor things...all his memory will return..."

They all thanked the doctor as he turned to leave...

"Chote...Tell Akash to take you and Khushiji home right now...She is still weak from her heatstroke and now that this has happened, you also need to rest..."

"But Di...You just..."

"I'm fine Chote...Nani is here...Payal is here..." Anjali smiled reassuringly...

They said their goodbyes and went to talk to Akash...

...................

Khushi sat next to Arnav as he slept...

It reminded her of the time his sugar level was low and she stayed up the entire night looking out for him...

When they arrived home, Khushi had ordered him to shower and go to sleep...

He didn't refuse as his head was pounding...

Khushi pulled the couch over next to the bed and ended up falling asleep from exhaustion....

...............

When Arnav woke up, the first thing he saw was his wife's sleeping face...

He shook his head and wondered firstly, why she wasn't in the bed with him...

Feeling a lot more rested and not in half as much pain as before, he sat up and stared at Khushi...

"I love you ..." he whispered as he traced his fingertips along her cheek...

Khushi stirred and he quickly removed his hand, not wanting to frighten her...

When she opened her eyes, she sat up quickly..."Arnavji?! Are you okay?"

She stood up and placed her hand on his forehead, then on his cheek, then gently at the back of his head..."Are you alright? Are you feeling sick? Hungry? Thirsty? Talk to me Arnavji! "

"Khushi...STOP!" he said almost laughing..."I'm okay sweetheart...I promise..."

Khushi stilled...

Arnav stood up slowly and went to sit beside her on the couch...

He noticed her tired eyes, and her trembling hands...his eyes roamed her face..."Khushi...Did you sleep long?"

She stood up and Arnav followed..."Khushi?"

He saw her start to walk away and he quickly stood in front of her...her silence answered for her...

Feeling slightly annoyed Arnav's eyes flashed with anger..."Khushi...You are still recovering from Heat stroke! My God! Can't you look after yourself either!?"

Her voice came out whisper quiet..."I...I didn't want to sleep...I wanted to make sure you were okay...I...I was so worried...I couldn't calm down..."

Overcome with love for her, he stepped forward and pressed his lips onto hers...

She tried to move away but he only clamped his arms tighter, his hands immovable at her waist.

His eyes were serious...their depths unfathomable. “I'm so sorry Khushi...."

She shook her head..."You have nothing to be sorry for Arnavji...you were hurt...you weren't in the right frame of mind..."

A muscle flexed in his jaw. 

If she said any more, he'd scream.

"Why can't you yell at me!? Do you think I'm going to hurt you if you do!? You have every right to be angry at me! After what I did! After EVERYTHING I did..."

Khushi quickly leaned forward and kissed him.

Her hands cupped the back of his head...her fingers spearing carefully through his thick black hair...

His mouth opened over hers and he poured all his heart into the mating of their tongues, of their breath.

Hands slid and caressed on skin, shocking nerve endings.

Moving their bodies slowly back, Arnav lay her slowly down on their bed...

Soon she was too lost in the onslaught of feelings, of emotions to think of anything but Arnav....

She was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen.

His hands ran up her sides and he palmed her breasts...

He leaned forward and kissed her arched neck.

Her moan vibrated in her throat, against his mouth.

When her moans and whimpers began to resound off the walls, he held his hands still and he waited till she looked at him ...

No fear...Just desire...

He rolled off her and pulled her to her feet...

“I don’t care how, but get your clothes out of my way.... Now.”

Somehow Khushi complied...a small smile came across her face...

He pulled his shirt off making buttons fly across the room...

His sweatpants hit the floor next...

He was hard. Really hard. 

With every piece of clothing that left her, Arnav's hands soon found her bare skin...

His hands spanned the width of her trim ribcage and he allowed his thumbs to rub over her nipples until they beaded into tiny points.

He bent and suckled. Lapping at the upper and lower curves of her breasts. Loving that everything about her was proportioned perfectly for her petite frame.

When her panties fell to the floor he stood up straight and kissed her hungrily...

The kiss went on and on, from ravenous to sweet back to greedy. When they kissed like this, the world fell away.

He trilled his lips down neck, past her breasts, over her stomach and dropped to his knees beside the bed...he gripped her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the bed...

Arnav kissed the soft section of skin between her hipbones.

Closing his eyes, he breathed in the dark scent of her arousal... 

He spread her legs and gently kissed up each inner thigh before his rough tongue slowly parted the delicate folds of her flesh.

Khushi heard a roaring sound in her ears and felt her vision go fuzzy as he gently rubbed at her with his thumb, all the while dancing his tongue expertly across the pink lips of her womanhood, quickly creating a frenzy of need and desire to shoot through her.

Khushi felt her hips swaying to the rhythm of Arnav’s tongue caressing her as his fingers made slow circles against her skin. One sensation blended into the next until it was all a blur of pleasure searing through her so fiercely she cried out.

Knowing she was close, Arnav climbed on top of her and in one fluid motion, filled her.

Her eyes opened and looked at him.

She tried to wiggle and move...spur him on...but he shook his head, holding her hips tightly against him, pushing deep inside her, keeping her vulnerable to what he wanted her to feel.

"Arnavji...p...please..."  

He began to move...slowly... Shallowly...up and down, keeping control of the rhythm.

Khushi never said a word, but the sounds she made in the back of her throat drove him on.

Her hands slid over him like the soft wings of butterflies.

He pushed deeper...harder, fully, completely....

Her gasps became faster...Her teeth nipped his lips, before her tongue darted into his mouth, demanding more.

And more he gave....He kissed her ravenously as he sped up his penetrations...

He pistoned  his hips steadily, firmly, not moving slowly but not hurrying either.

He made sure she felt every inch of  him thrusting into her and every inch coming out.

He stared down at her..."Look at me...Khushi look at me!"

Her eyes opened and he saw her dilated pupils..."keep your eyes on mine..."

Arnav slammed deep inside her,  he felt her tighten and knew she was cresting...

As her body started to convulse, he grabbed a fistful of her hair,  and looking straight into her clouded eyes, he snarled, “You're Mine...”

Right there. That’s when she exploded.

Her inner muscles contracted violently... she screamed so loud and so long that he knew she’d be embarrassed if she ever realized it.

He couldn’t hold back any longer either...

He felt the pressure build up and detonation struck...He shot out in hard pulses inside her.

The pleasure was incredible.

It blinded him to all else, made him deaf and dumb to everything but her and the unbelievable sensations coursing through his body.  

Eventually, however, as he collapsed against her, he became aware of two things...how close he'd come to losing her again... and the fact that he’d screamed his pleasure even louder than she had...
