want to lose me. The thrill of being wanted was so exhilarating that it wiped
out all sense and reason as I wrapped him tightly in my arms before pushing
him to the barren rocks beneath. Emotions streaked inside me like lightning
and I kissed him deeply. He held me close, feeling my softness, imprinting
my lines on him. Centuries must have passed since he had last held me, and
his body was heating up in spite of the cold that surrounded us in that
Kashmiri forest. The rain had stopped but I was not cold. His breath felt
fiery like a dragon’s against my naked skin and I was hot as hell.
He said, ‘I loved you, and will always love you. There is no
tomorrow for me and you are my eternity.’
There was a tenderness to his lovemaking. I could not believe the
way he made me feel every time. There was no urgency but worship. The
admiration of my whole self was so visible by the manner he loved me, truly,
deeply and madly. I did not know if other people felt like this. The
maddening vibes, the grinding rhythm, the fiery breath, the touch and feel of
our flesh, the moaning of our souls, the craving for some more and the
celebration of our love—all of it came together in one moment.
He was not my other half, with us there were no halves, no quarters,
no parts at all. There was only a whole. Together, we were one unit, one
entity, one intensely burning flame that burst into being whenever we came
together, one single form of energy packed densely as if the bonding
between us was forever.
He shuddered over me and rested his head gently on my shoulder.
With the sweat soaked curls falling on his forehead, his closed eyes and the
curves around his lips, he looked devastatingly handsome. I ruffled his hair
gently and kissed him on his forehead. There was so much love in the air.
The jungle sounds had changed, they felt rhythmic, welcoming and familiar.
We stared into each other’s eyes for some time before he broke the silence.
‘I think we should stay here. Dawn will soon break and I will connect
with my pack again and give them the new coordinates,’ he said.
I nodded and sat there silently for some time only to drift off to sleep
encroached in that closed space among those boulders. Soon, dawn broke
and I could see a whole new spectrum of light and feel a whole new set of
aspirations bubbling inside me, and the enthusiasm in my body was
astonishing. I could feel the wholeness again. There was contentment and
peace in my head. Something I had been seeking for ages.
There was something between me and Virat.
Some would say it was chemistry but if you looked deep inside the
chemistry then there was a mingling of energies creating a spectrum of
happy colours, giggling and laughing, lifting our moods suddenly. The
laughter came easily, the happiness radiated on the skin, and life was bliss.
