The Path to Forever

Part 2

2-3 days went by , karan started to feel something towards her. He watched her cute activities throughout the day.

At night, Unable to shake off the feeling of restlessness, he wandered down the hallway, the echoes of his footsteps bouncing off the grandiose walls. As he reached the top of the staircase, he spotted a sliver of light seeping from under Tejasswi's door. His heart skipped a beat, and without thinking, he found himself knocking softly.

Tejasswi's eyes grew wide as she heard the sound. She had been lost in thought, her mind racing with the overwhelming events of the day. "Come in," she called out tentatively, her voice barely audible.

The door creaked open, and Karan stepped into the room, his eyes immediately drawn to her. She had changed into a scintillating satin short bathrob a fiery red that contrasted starkly with her otherwise demure attire from earlier. It clung to her body, accentuating her curves and leaving little to the imagination. His breath hitched as he took in the sight of her, the desire in his eyes unmistakable.

Tejasswi felt a rush of heat to her cheeks as she realized the impact she was having on him. Her heart raced as she watched his gaze travel over her, his pupils dilating with want.

Karan couldn't tear his eyes away from Tejasswi's beauty. He had never seen a more tantalizing sight, and his body responded in kind. The fabric clung to her in all the right places, showcasing the soft curves and supple skin that lay beneath. He swallowed hard, trying to form coherent words amidst the maelstrom of emotions.

"Tejasswi," he began, his voice barely above a whisper, "I know we've only just met, but I need to tell you something." He took a step closer, his hand reaching out to gently grasp hers. "These past few days, I've fallen for you. I can't explain it, but I know it's real."

Her cheeks flushed deeper, and she looked down at their intertwined fingers. "But, Karan," she stammered, "it's all so sudden."

He stepped closer, his eyes never leaving hers. "I know it's unconventional, but sometimes love doesn't wait for the perfect moment. It just happens." He reached up and tucked a stray hair behind her ear, his touch sending a shiver down her spine. "I know this isn't how you envisioned this, but I want you to know that I'm here for you, and I'll do everything to make you happy."

Tejasswi felt a knot loosen in her stomach. His words were like a balm to her anxious soul. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with a mix of hope and doubt. "What if it doesn't work out?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.

Karan leaned in, his gaze never leaving hers. "Then we'll work on it," he assured her, his thumb tracing circles on the back of her hand. "We'll make it work."

Tejasswi felt a flutter of hope in her chest. "Really?" she whispered, looking up at him through her lashes.

Karan nodded, a gentle smile playing on his lips. He stepped closer, the heat of his body making her pulse race. "Yes, really," he murmured, reaching out to caress her cheek. "You make me feel alive in a way I never knew possible."

Tejasswi's eyes searched his, looking for any sign of deceit. Finding none, she allowed a tentative smile to spread across her face. "Okay," she whispered, "I'll try."

Karan's hand slid down her arm, and he stepped closer, the warmth of his body enveloping her like a comforting blanket. Tejasswi melted into the embrace, her arms wrapping around his neck her shyness forgotten.

Karan's hands roamed her body, his fingertips tracing the curves revealed by the delicate robe . Tejasswi felt a surge of desire, her breath hitching as she responded to his touch.

He hovered over her, his eyes filled with a fierce tenderness that made her heart race. "We should wait," he murmured, his voice hoarse with restraint. "We'll have our whole lives to explore each other. But tonight, let's just get to know each other better."
