Chapter 64: Boundaries & Torn Hearts
The kiss had already deepened dangerously.
Tharun’s hands were firm on her breast, his mouth hungry and insistent. His hand freed her breast.. now the hands moved to her thigh under the chair.. In one bold move, he tried to lift her into his arms, intending to carry her toward the small attached bedroom in his cabin. He was turned on so much that he felt they are going to have unrestricted sex today right there in the office. His grip tightened, his body pressing her closer as if he could sweep her away from all her doubts.
For a split second, Nikitha felt the heat — the temptation of letting go completely. But something inside her snapped back. She could not be normal. She could not proceed with something new — love or lust — just like that, without confirming her inner conflicts.
She stiffened. Her body didn’t arch to give him space. She pushed against his chest, breaking the kiss and freeing herself from his grasp.
Tharun looked confused, breathing heavily. “What happened?” he asked, voice husky.
She stood immediately from the chair.. she wiped her lips and said.. “Nothing, Tharun,” she said, stepping back. “I guess this is enough. Without me making clear decisions, I think we should not advance too much. Kisses are fine… but your groping my breast without my consent is too much.. enough for now.”
Tharun’s eyes darkened with a mix of desire and frustration.
He decided to play a bit to see her reaction.. With she had already allowed to press her breast, he decided to try one more.
He stepped closer, a seductive smile playing on his lips. “Why do you fear we would rush too much?”
Niki said no, i know you.. you wont but...
Tharun: “I guess my hold is super powerful…that makes you feel like you would slip? wana try again..”
He reached out, both hands boldly cupping her breasts over her kurta, thumbs pressing and pinching her nipples through the fabric.
Slap!
The sound echoed sharply in the quiet cabin.
Nikitha’s hand had moved on pure adrenaline. She regretted it instantly — the moment her palm connected with his cheek. She hadn’t meant to hit him. It was too much, too sudden, not even in her control..
Tharun froze, his face turning slightly from the impact. For a second, he looked genuinely hurt — not just physically, but deeply. He stepped back, rubbing his cheek, his expression a mix of shock and disappointment.
Tharun: Nikki why did you slapped me?
He looked visibly upset and confused!
Tharun: Nikki, not even my parents had slapped me? no one.. i would get one if if were really wrong, am i not your future husband? didnt we speak about that.. dont you know i loved you.. I think you should have seen it, even thought i admit i lusted you.. these days its always love that overtook my lust.
Today it was something else not just lust, even if you could not agree to my love or lust, didnt you say once. that "you were ready for temporary sex, if we could not make this relationship work. Did you forget? Im not telling this to make you feel little. But I just wanted to ask why you slapped me? when you could have considered it any of this way.
NIkkitha was stunned by her own doing and she dont know how to console him or reason him. She doesnt know why she acted this way.
Tharun continued and today it was not lust.. I didn’t do this to fulfill my sexual need. Today you seemed so disturbed, i felt you are hurting yourself by not letting him go. I thought we should get physically close so that you could easily get distracted from his thoughts. But you slapped me… I felt so low. I felt like some cheap ass.
Its like you showed me my place. Im for sure not a predator who hunts his prey, im some one who came to love you, and take you to deserved place. I didnt everything for you, the way i behave its all for you and you are the reason why im like this. but i got slaps, he laughed disappointingly.
Nikitha felt terrible. She knew she was the reason Tharun had become so intimate with her. Yet she had slapped him. His ego must have been bruised. She didn’t want to hurt a man who openly claimed to love her, who was making every effort and patiently waiting for her.
She stepped forward, catching his hand gently.
“I’m sorry, Tharun. I don't know know how i reacted so fast. . I didn’t mean to hurt you like that.”
Tharun stayed silent for a moment, his face still stubborn. But he didn’t pull away.
Tharun: From now on i wont kiss you.. i wont touch you.. unless you say. I still love you.. i still want you. but i need to be clear that all this happening for love, i want you to see its love and not lust. This is a lesson for me today.
Nikitha took a deep breath. She said i know you would be hurt and disappointed but see just hear this. Please.”
He nodded, waiting.
She spoke carefully, her voice trembling slightly. I understood everything but regarding that temporary sex... see "Once, temporary sex felt fine because I wasn’t sure. I just wanted to feel love even if that is temporary.. but after what all happend, after being with you.. Now I’m sure about one thing — I want to live with love, the way I truly want. I’m not looking back. I indeed believe we are already in that path.. I don’t want to settle for cheap thrills or just sex.
To be precise, deep down I know I’m doing the right thing, but some part of my heart is not leaving him it just scares me with warning like there could be some different reality exits. Just give me some time to accept everything, to give a proper closure. I still believe, With him, it’s not love. Love just from myself is not love. He is yet to show me how he loved me. There were no memories. There was nothing I saw… I even doubt if he knew me well. I just beg you to give me some time, Tharun… please.”
Now, It’s just my wandering thoughts giving me too many headache. i'm suffering a long than you think.
Im sorry Tharun.
Im Sorry..
Frankly i don't want to Hurt you.. its same way i dont want to Hurt him...
Tharun looked at her for a long moment. His eyes softened with real understanding. He pulled her into a warm, gentle hug, holding her close without any sexual pressure.
“I’m sorry too,” he whispered against her hair. Then he pulled back slightly, his voice firm but kind. “But from now on, I won’t kiss you. I won’t touch you. Not without your clear signal. Its for real.. I don’t want to feel like I’m the one pushing everything.
And one more.. If you really choose me, I want you to invite me. I want you to say it and i want us to enjoy sex before we marry the moment you decided to accept my love! Just keep this in mind. Im pretty sure about that.”
He stepped back, unlocked the door, and looked at her with quiet resolve.
“Go to your place. You need to finish that project.”
Nikitha stood there, feeling torn between both men. She had started hurting Tharun too, because she could not fully leave Jay. The weight of it pressed on her chest.
She decided, in that moment, she needed to make a firm decision soon. She didn’t want both men to get hurt in the process.
The kiss had already deepened dangerously.
