Chapter 7 Serene Beauty

I staggered for a moment; even Chhavi and Utkarsh got scared from the sudden tremble. When the ground had quieted down, the first thing to pop up in my mind was to know where they were standing and to be with them. I ran in towards Chhavi, to make sure she was alright. Thank God she was alright, I felt quite relieved. Then I checked myself, to be fair, as my body was still shaking, but the locals in the cafe didn’t seem to worry enough. I was surprised and asked the man was who was busy making paranthas in the hut.

“Didn’t you feel the tremor, bhai?” I asked him.

“No Sir. This is very normal out here, these tremors are very natural and always happens twice or thrice a day,” He told me. It was no surprise to them, but the tourists here were unaware to it. It really scared a hell out of me. I was still shaking. ‘Thank God,’ I kept praying.

On the other hand, Chhavi and Utkarsh started to laugh so much, pointing at me. I didn’t know what they were gossiping about, but I was sure they were making fun of my concern. I ignored them and started to walk behind the other tourists going towards the top of the hill. I was walking a bit fast to avoid both of them. And, I must say, I was feeling aesthetic throughout the chills of the mountains.

The passage up to the Garbett place was pretty bumpy, but still it was enjoyable. With hedgerows on either side, the lane almost had a mesmerizing view, not entirely though, not too straight, but I could see the river flowing its stream through the jungle, which was breathtaking and had its own beauty. The air was getting thinner but also was fresh; there was no highway fumes or honking of cars. It was an adventure of a lifetime.

We were strolling along by the garden heading up to a small bridge that joined this mountain to the next one, which was our final destination. We reached the spot.

...

The view from here was enchanting and this was like the spine of the land. If I ever get a chance to buy a house in this place ever in my life, I would certainly do so. And, after buying I would sleep soundly every day, in this beautiful weather. The range of the mountain was higher to the west and lower to the east, curling a message to the whole world, ‘peace holds its own priority.’

It was the perfect time of day, Utkarsh mused, for a view such as this. The mountains rose straight up in a silhouette that haloed in the ever-spreading light of the sun as it offsetted its way down, and the moon had casted a natural energy to the place.

I unpacked and placed my tent, near the mountain edge, cause every time I wanted to enter or exit, I could experience the immense pleasure of its serenity. To be close to me, Chhavi too had unpacked and placed her tent right next to mine.

It was dark now, the host decided to set a small bonfire by the side, as it begun to grow cold here. The weather also had a romantic feel to it. We played a little game of atlas, with pop songs running in the back. We did had a small party. It was all worth it.

Suddenly, I remember that I have to call Aparna and inform her that I reached here safely. I headed towards my tent. I called and informed her. I was going to leave the tent when Chhavi intervened. Her arousing was more intense now. She held my hand, and pushed me inside. She was turning me on for it; I avoided it since the start of the day, but now, how could I prolong it any further. I was shy since the morning cause I was ashamed of being quirky when Utkarsh was around. Now, when no one was here. I felt relieved and jumped on her. And, we started making love, which had been coming for some time now.

...

She curled her fingers around my neck, feeling the bite of the cool metal against her hand. She was ready for this. So ready in fact she slowly closed the tent zip and could no longer control her excitement.

“Put your hands behind my back,” she ordered me, and I was surprised by how certain her voice sounded. I put my hand behind her. I too wanted it. As all fantasies that I had were finally coming true.

A fervent power was pulsing between us, and I wanted to make sweet love to her, with passion burning within – she too needed it, as well as the effort she craved from me to entice her.

She wrapped her arms around me and looked at me directly through her eyes at the straining desire she had which reached out to me. To touch her ever so gently and passionately and make her feel ever so amazed.

She leaned in towards me and planted a soft, seductive kiss on my lips. I didn’t want to control my feelings anymore. I leaned over to graze her mouth with my nose; she whispered the word she knew I was longing to hear.

“Let’s become one,”

I ran my hands down her back, removing her top, and pulled her out of her jeans. She began to stroke me and soon her hands found their way to my back. I pulled myself up and untied her bra. Then I bit her right ear and fondled her breasts as we kissed devouring each other’s taste.

She then grazed her fingers over my bare feet and I felt her slickness; it felt like her entire body was already soaking itself with pleasure. She guided a finger inside of herself and tilted her head back to let out a moan, allowing me a better angle to grab her gently by her waist and kiss her with more passion. I was growled with want for her. This was not all about me, we both were on the same page. I’d never experienced this before but in my state of heightened arousal, I felt incredibly erotic. By now, I had become hard and was desperate to make love to her…

“I love you Chhavi,” I whispered, and I eagerly did.

“I love you too,” she said, making a sort of cross sign on my body. I was on top of her now and from a corner of my eyes I watched a quirky smile play out on her face. She wanted me to soak her with my love. She took me by the shoulders and moved me downward near her thighs, then brought me back up to her body. I grabbed her tighter. I could feel the little stones beneath the surface, stinging my hands when I was over her. But I kept going.

My legs were already obligingly spread for her and as she ran her whole body for the final spree before I go for the magic she closed her eyes, which felt like heaven. I closed my eyes as well and felt her fragrance enveloping my senses. I surrendered myself completely to the magic of the moment in which we were finding ourselves to be in together. I was inside her, her tongue caressing my flesh, teasing me and taking me to the brink, as I writhed around her hands, before we got in a perfect position to climax and as our bodies merged into being, what felt like, a single entity our souls also became one.
