Just the heartbeat pounding beneath her blouse.
The warmth at her side.
The silent question pressed into her shoulder.
Her lips parted again, trembling.
Her fingers, trapped in Amit’s steady hold, twitched, a reflexive gasp without sound.
Ravi felt the shift.
Felt the tremor.
Felt the way her breath stumbled against him.
He almost pulled back.
Almost.
But then, she didn’t stiffen.
She didn’t recoil.
She didn’t lift her shoulder.
She allowed the moment to continue.
That small, unspoken permission, silent, terrified, real, made something ache inside him.
He breathed quietly.
And the scent of jasmine and sandalwood clung to him, warm and intoxicating.
Priya’s eyes fluttered closed for a second, just one second, overwhelmed by the closeness, by the war raging inside her.
Amit’s thumb stroked her hand again, tender, unconscious.
Ravi’s breath warmed her shoulder, gentle, aching, alive.
Her body felt split in half.
One side safe.
One side burning.
One side familiar.
One side forbidden.
One side bound by vows.
One side bound by desire.
Her thoughts spiraled, trembling:
One holding her hand.
One holding her in his breath.
Her eyes flicked sideways, just enough to meet Ravi’s gaze, then darted back, a stolen, dangerous glance.
And in that dark theater, in the flickering glow of the screen, Priya whispered inside her breaking heart:
“Please… someone stop me… because I can’t stop myself…”
-- oOo --
Wow what a beauty.
One side safe.
One side burning.
One side familiar.
One side forbidden.
One side bound by vows.
One side bound by desire.
Really poetic
