It’s fucking torture every time I see her in such a broken state. Steeling myself, I slowly walk over to her. She’s so lost inher despair that she doesn’t even notice me until I’m kneeling right in front of her. I place my hands gently on her knees.

“Kavya,” I whisper. “Please don’t cry, sweetheart. Your tears are breaking my heart.”

She looks into my eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I just... I don’t know what to do,” she says, her voice breaking.

I pull her into my arms, holding her tightly. “You don’t have to do anything. I’ll take care of everything. I’ll take care of you,” I promise softly. “You’re safe, Kavya. I won’t let anyone hurt you.” My grip on her tightens protectively as I speak, the words more for my reassurance than hers.

She buries her face in my neck, wrapping her arms around me tightly. “I don’t know what I’d do without you,” she whispers, her voice trembling with vulnerability.

I run my hands through her hair gently. “You won’t have to find out. I’m here for you, always. I’m never leaving your side,” I say softly before pressing my lips to the top of her head.

She pulls back slightly, looking up at me. “I can’t... I can’t keep feeling scared. I hate feeling this way, Reyansh.”

“I hate seeing you like this too, sweetheart,” I say, cupping her face in my hands, my thumbs gently brushing away her tears. “This won’t last forever. You won’t have to live in fear for much longer, I promise.”

“I... I need to forget. Just for a little while. Help me forget, Reyansh. I need you,” she whispers, her voice cracking, her hands shaky as she fumbles with the buttons of my shirt.

When she manages to unfasten the first button, my heart stills in my chest. I gently take her hands in mine, stopping her. “Kavya, I know you’re hurting emotionally, but this isn’t the answer.”

“Please, Reyansh,” she begs, her eyes filled with desperation as she looks at me. “I need you. I need to feel something other than this fear. Just for tonight, please.”

My heart clenches at her plea. I know she’s hurting, and I want nothing more than to take away her pain. And I’ve been waiting for this day with bated breath, for the perfect moment to make her mine. However, I don’t want our intimacy to be solely driven by fear and the heat of the moment. I need her to be fully present and sure, not driven by her current vulnerability.

“Kavya, we shouldn’t. It’s not the right time,” I try again gently, my thumb caressing her cheeks.

“I don’t care, Reyansh. Just make me forget. Please don’t reject me now when I need you the most,” she says, tears streaming down her face.

That’s all it takes for my resolve to crumble and my willpower to go out the window. Her desperation cuts through me like a knife. I’m aware of the line we’re about to cross, something we can’t come back from, but the raw pain in her eyes is too much to bear.

“Never. I could never reject you, Kavya,” I say, my voice thick with emotion. “You’re all I want,” I whisper against her lips before capturing them in a searing kiss. Her hands clutch my shirt as she responds with desperation. My hands roam over her back, pulling her closer as I deepen the kiss, our tongues entwining in a fervent desire.

I pull away from the kiss, both of us breathing heavily, our chests rising and falling in sync. Keeping my eyes locked on hers, I reach for my shirt and slowly pull it over my head, tossing it to the floor. Rising to my feet, I remove my jeans and boxer briefs, tossing them aside with my shirt, all the while maintaining eye contact with her. My cock is hard and ready for her. I take her hand in mine and guide it to my throbbing hard-on. Her eyes are fixed on my arousal as she bites down on her bottom lip. With a gentle squeeze, I encourage her to stroke me, and she takes over hesitantly. Her small hands move from root to tip, sending waves of pleasure through me and driving me wild.

“I want to see you… all of you,” I whisper as her eyes meet mine.

“O-okay,” she says breathlessly.

Withoutbreaking eye contact, she slowly rises to her feet, and with trembling hands, shelifts the hem of my shirt that she’s wearing over her head, leaving her in just a bra and track pants. My breath hitches as I take in the beauty before me. I can’t count how many times I’ve imagined having her like this, all to myself, and now here she is, mine for the taking. The desire to make her mine burns fiercely within me.

I clench my fists by my sides, reining in my control, my gaze fixed on her every move as she reaches behind her with shaky hands and unclasps her bra, letting it fall to the floor. Fuck! The overwhelming desire to touch her velvety skin and to taste her sweetness consumes me. However, I remain still, allowing her to undress at her own pace. She shivers slightlyas she slides her track pants and panties down her legs.

“Kavya,” I say, my voice raspy as I take in her sexy, naked body. “Are you sure you want this?” I’m surprised by how I have managed to get the words out of my mouth when all I want is to devour her.

“I... I want this... I want you.”

“I don’t want to scare you, but you need to know that there’s no turning back from here, Kavya. When I make love to you, you’re mine, forever. I will not let you go.”

“I am all yours.” Her voice holds no doubt or hesitation. And that’s what I wanted to hear.

Smiling, I lift her gently in my arms and lay her down on the bed.I cover her with my body, feeling the heat of her nakedness against mine, and a fire ignites within me. I run my hand over her body, gently tracing her throat, her breasts, and her stomach, feeling hershiver and gasp as she responds to my touch. Fuck! She is so responsive, and it’s so damn intoxicating.

“You are so beautiful,” I say, bending my head and letting my lips trace over the swell of her breasts, savouringtheirsoftness and warmth.

“Reyansh…” she moans,her fingers tangling in my hairas I suck her.

“You are mine. Only mine. Every inch of you is mine,” I say as I nip her nipples before soothing them with my tongue.

“Please,” she says between gasps as her head tosses from side to side.
