Chapter 60

 Chapter 60

 Arnav typed away, as he replied as many emails as he could. Luckily for him, Khushi had been sleeping late in the mornings. This gave him sufficient time to check on work related issues, while she rested. He knew she would be furious if she was aware of what he was doing. While his title and position held many advantages, this was one of the disadvantages of being Managing Director. Aman briefed him daily on happenings at AR, usually in a telephone call early in the morning.

 Arnav sipped his coffee as he finished through the last batch of emails. He smiled as he thought how things were going according to his plan. Last night’s dinner had been wonderful, and Khushi was starting to return to her normal self. The past month had been hell for him. The thought of losing Khushi had been terrifying. Khushi was one of the strongest females he knew and he admired her resilience. Yet those days spent in the hospital had been a petrifying experience, with the harsh reality that one can never tell what lies ahead. 

His train of thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door creaking open. He quickly shut his laptop and simultaneously grabbed his coffee cup, while leaning back on the sofa. He smiled as Khushi emerged wearing his t shirt. He had left it purposely in the room so she could wear it, since they had immediately headed to the bedroom upon returning from dinner. He smirked as he recollected how effortless it had been to remove Khushi’s dress. She had fallen asleep after their passionate night.

 “What are our plans for today?” Khushi inquired as she pulled out a char, and plopped herself on the dining table chair. There was a decent breakfast spread on the table. Room service was pretty cool, she thought as she fixed a plate for herself.

 “I was thinking you should take it easy today. We’ll just enjoy around the resort.” After last night’s conversation where she admitted to feeling tired, he had realized that maybe excessive sightseeing may be too strenuous for her body. There were plenty of things to do around the resort, where she could rest if needed. 

“What? There is so much left to see in Dubai! I have been resting for the past month” she protested in earnest. Yesterday had been such a wonderful day and she had eagerly been anticipating where they would visit today. “Khushi you just admitted to me that you were tired yesterday. I do not want you to overexert yourself. We’ll explore our resort today. No point arguing as I have made up my mind” he said in his firm ASR tone. Khushi sighed reluctantly, wondering how she would pass the day. ********************************************************************************* Arnav gave his instructions, while Khushi waited patiently. When he had first suggested a day at the onsite spa, Khushi had vehemently refused. Since she had never been to a spa, the thought made her slightly uncomfortable. However, his insistence eventually made her cave and she agreed. They were now standing in the lobby, while he was going over different options.

 “I’ll be back to pick you up in a few hours. Enjoy your pampering” as he leaned over and gave her a quick peck on her check. He watched as the female masseuse escorted her to the private room in the back. 

Khushi undressed and settled herself into the warm, comfortable bed and covered herself with the sheets. Shortly after the masseueuer reentered and immediately dimmed the lights. The sound of soft melodious music filled the room as Khushi felt warm lotion on her back. The masseuse was gentle, as per instructions, yet she firmly kneaded the stiff muscles in Khushi’s upper back.

“Where did these knots come from?” she thought as the lady continued to apply pressure and loosen her muscles. Those hands weaved magic as they seemed to find every tense spot in her body. She could feel the release even from her toes and fingers, as every inch was pressed and massaged. She sighed as she closed her eyes and reveled as the stress seemed to float away from her body. ********************************************************************************* It was a beautiful sunny day, perfect weather for a few rounds of golf. Since Khushi was going to be occupied, this was the perfect way to pass his time. Dubai was known to have some of the world’s best golf courses, so he decided to take advantage of this opportunity. The vast green course, spectacular views, and lush fairways were impressive. The club had easily arranged golfing equipment and a caddie for Arnav as they had briefed him on the different skill levels and options available.

 Although it was not afternoon, the sun was shining bright as he prepared the tee for his first shot. He analyzed the course ahead as he prepared for his first shot. Although he was playing solo, he was still motivated to play well as he began positioning his lean and muscular body. He slightly bent his knees and then the muscles in his arm tightened, easily revealing his firm muscles peeking out from underneath the sleeve. Then came the first swing, strong and powerful, one of a pro as he watched the ball soar in the air. He smirked as he saw the ball thud and land very near the next hole. “Almost a hole in one, not bad Raizada!”

 Arnav delved himself into the game of golf. He was victoriously satisfied as he had completed the course impressively. Glancing at his watch, it was perfect timing as it was time to go pick Khushi up from the spa. After a relaxing day at the spa and Arnav’s round of golf, they both had enjoyed lunch at Al-Maha’s onsite restaurant and then retired to their room for a late afternoon nap.
 ********************************************************************************* Khushi sipped her cup of chai as she leaned back comfortably. She couldn’t believe that she had taken such a long nap. By the time she woke up it was dinnertime, and once again they had dined onsite.

 “Arnav let’s do something fun. It’s only 8 o’clock and I am well rested” she affirmed and hoped that he would agree to take her somewhere.

 He smiled slyly as he answered back “Well I do have something in mind. It should be a fun experience for both of us. Let’s go back to our suite and I will fill you in” as his mind wandered. This was the perfect time to avail the private swimming pool that was a part of their suite. 

Once they entered their suite Arnav motioned for Khushi to wait for him as he went off to retrieve something. She mentally checked off all in the places that they could possibly be visiting tonight, barely able to contain her excitement. Arnav came into her view again with a white bag in his hand. She stared at it curiously as he handed it to her.

 She brushed away the tissue to pull out a very revealing two piece red bikini. She gasped in shock while the bikini skipped through her hands and fell back in the bag. “What is this for?” she asked, almost scared to hear what the answer would be.

 Arnav smirked as he rested hands on the armrests , bent down and leaned in towards her. “It’s a bikini Khushi, so we can go swimming. There’s a wonderful swimming pool outside and you just said that you were bored and wanted to engage in an activity” he said softly.

 “But swimming? I don’t even know how to swim, I have never gone swimming” she confessed. Of course as kids they had played in the rain and frolicked but never had she been swimming.

 “Main hoon na Khushi. Don’t worry. Now go get changed quickly. Unless of course you are scared” he challenged.

 “Me scared? Absolutely not!” she said defiantly. Arnav smirked triumphantly. “Good then. You change and I will meet you outside by the pool.” ********************************************************************************* It had been some time that Khushi had changed into the red bikini but she was a slightly conscious about venturing out. She peeked through the window and saw Arnav already in the pool, waiting patiently. There was no other suite in site as this particular one was quite secluded. A few soft lights had been lit and gave her a perfect view of Arnav’s bare upper body. “Hey Devi Maiyya Raksha Karna” as she said a silent prayer and tiptoed out slowly.
 
 She peeked her head through the sliding door as Arnav instinctively sensed her and directed his eyes towards her. He was anxious to see her in the bikini that he had secretly stashed away in their suitcase. He waited a minute or two but Khushi just stood there. Was she even wearing the bikini?

 “Um you have to close your eyes if you want me to come out. Once I am in the pool then you can open them” she said as her courage had completely slipped away.

 “What the! Khushi I have seen you with a lot less. You have got to be joking!” but one look at her face made it clearly obvious that she was dead serious. “Ok fine! I’m closing my eyes” he sighed as he shut them tight.

 After a minute, he peeked through one eye and saw her descending into the pool, looking stunning in the red bikini. His breath hitched as he opened the other eye, and ogled her openly.

 “You can open your eyes” as she turned towards him. However his eyes sparkled mischievously as she realized he had been watching her. “You cheated! You weren’t supposed to open your eyes until I was in the pool” as she lowered herself into the cool water. The moonlight glistened off the water and she saw water ripple, as Arnav made his way towards her. She turned around and refused to look him in the eye.

 She shuddered when she felt his wet fingers delicately trail her bare arms as he kissed her shoulder. Although she was submerged in water, she suddenly felt extremely conscious of the fact that she was barely wearing any clothing. The cool water tingled her skin in contrast to his touch that warmed her.

 “Are you ready for your first swimming lesson?” he said trying to make her a little more comfortable in the water. He couldn’t resist tracing shapes on her almost naked back.

 “Ji” was just about all she could muster out. His hands dipped underwater to her stomach, where he anchored her and nudged her feet resulting in her legs floating upward. The hand that was firmly positioned on her stomach slid below and his second hand found its way just below the swell of her breasts. She was now flat on her stomach in the water, trying to concentrate on anything except for his hands.

 “Now start kicking your feet” Arnav instructed as she lightly began to kick in the water. He pretended to focus on her feet, however his eyes were transfixed on the sight of her plump bottom, and the movement as she kicked her feet playfully.

 “Now what do I do?” she asked innocently.

 “Ok now try using your arms as well while kicking” as she began slow strokes with her arms. Her legs were beginning to hurt with the kicking causing her to slow down her legs.

 “Do you remember when you were drunk you mentioned that you had wanted to learn swimming” Arnav reminded her trying to tell her subtly what had triggered his idea. Since so many people lived at Shantivan, it was almost impossible to get Khushi to take a dip in the pool there . Thankfully the few suites at the resort had private pools, and he had made sure Aman reserved one.

 “Acha. I don’t remember” she scrunched her eyebrows trying to recollect the events of that night but her mind remained blank. “My legs are tired now” she admitted.

 “ You can stop moving your legs and arms” he said. She felt herself Arnav flip her instantly, as she floated in the water on her backside. He playfully squeezed her bottom as he glided his hand down her bottom, and let it settle on the backside of her thigh. She shut her eyes as his other hand was right over her bikini tie, knowing full well he had the ability to pull the string at any moment.

 “Now just relax and let your body float” he whispered into her ear. How could she relax when she could picture him staring at her body above water. His hand tightened around her back and thigh as he bent down to whisper seductively in her ear “ You look so sexy and beautiful in the bikini. Thanks for wearing it” as he kissed her wet cheek. His eyes feasted on the wet bikini top that was clinging to her body. His wet lips instantly warmed hers and she felt the heat quickly spread throughout her body, centering on the sweet spot between her legs.

Before she knew it, he was walking in the water and sat her down on the steps of the pool. He kissed her fervently, his tongue slipping between her lips to taste the unique flavors of her mouth. Seeing Khushi for the first time in a bikini, had aroused him to new heights coupled with the water around them under a beautiful starry night.

The anticipation was evident as he felt her nipples harden against his bare chest, as he continued to kiss her senseless. Khushi moaned against his mouth as she felt his bare chest press up against her body eagerly feeling his muscular form as she the water droplets trickled away from his body.

She stilled as she felt his fingers tug her bikini top ties, and pulled away momentarily in shock. The bikini top fell down as he captured her protest in his mouth, deepening his sensual attack on her mouth. She felt his hand rest in her thigh underwater while the other trailed upward and kneaded her softness , stirring her and stimulating her. Insatiable lust overcame her as she his tongue on her hardened bud, suckling away. Her legs felt like jelly underwater as his touch overwhelmed her.

 He teased the outer edge of her bikini bottom, rubbing his fingers over the wet fabric underwater. She looked beautiful with her head thrown back, face flushed with ecstasy, and the moonlight shining down on her bare chest. He slipped out of his shorts underwater as he slipped a finger inside. Completely under his spell, she allowed him to remove her bikini bottom while he gently slid his finger in and out.

His eyes were similar to the ocean, those orbs that one could simply get lost in. She leaned back as he entered her, the waves of passion mirroring the waves rippling through the pool. Her body grew tense and her breathing labored as she felt him deep inside her. She felt her ears buzz and her head swarm. Not being able to hold back any longer, her orgasm rushed through her body. Arnav soon followed in his release, staying close to her body. She wrapped her arms around him, finding peace and comfort as they silently enjoyed each other’s touch.
