Charan did not know if anything he said actually reached Shreya.. but she did not utter a word after that. She stayed absolutely quiet snuggling against him. Her eyes kept staring at nothing in particular.

He was clueless as to how to get her out of it.. but then Charan guessed, Shreya was probably struggling with the same predicament.

So, he resorted to distracting her for now.. his hands slipped around her waist and started tickling her..

Shreya let out a shrill giggle while exclaiming, "CHARAN!!"

Charan's lips smirked as his hands continued their endeavors until Shreya was a laughing mess.. She even had tears running down her eyes because of too much laughing.

"Charan.. stop.. stop.. I cannot breathe.." Shreya stammered inbetween laugters..

Charan stopped at last, but he still stayed hovering over her. He stared back at her eyes as she tried to get back her breathing. He leaned over and kissed away her tears as he muttered, " You are human, Shreya.. not some saint who is devoid of all attachments. Humans get angry.. we have loved ones and we want them to be happy.. we get hurt and they have repercussions. We don't always have to be right.. you do not always have to be right!"

He looked pretty serious when he said that..

"I know all that.. but it is just kind of hard to accept," Shreya muttered back with a slight smile.

"Well, then just know that I love you regardless!!" Charan said c.a.r.e.s.sing at her cheeks with his thumbs.

Shreya did not reply to that. Instead, she stretched over with her mouth wide open and bit Charan.. Her lower set of teeth sank just shy of his lips while she bit almost the whole of his cheeks into her mouth.

Charan winced involuntarily but he still did not pull away as he obediently let her bite him. He just resigned to his fate of being teased by Kabir and Ajay tomorrow.

It took a while before Shreya was satisfied and by then, all her teeth had already left a mark on his cheeks. But even when she pulled away, her face did not seem to ease.. her eyes were heavy and watery when she stared back at Charan.. she almost looked as if she was just about ready to cry or choke as she looked at Charan smiling back at her.

Shreya blinked back at him twice before flipping him over and sitting on top of him over his stomach.. she stared at him seriously as her thumb ran over her handy work.. she almost looked obsessed when she stared at his now reddened cheeks.

Before she could say anything, Charan pulled her down capturing her lips between his..

The way she was looking at him was driving him crazy. No man will be able to stand such a look from their girlfriend. It was almost flatteringly sweet the point where it took away his ability to think straight.

The kiss gradually increased in intensity. Charan held her head with both his hands and held her in place as he practically devoured her lips. There was something more desperate than l.u.s.t when he kissed her.. he almost looked like he wanted to somehow swallow her whole, if only it was possible.

Shreya struggled and pulled away when she got desperate for some air.. but Charan sat up with her.. His lips did not leave her skin. He trailed small wet kisses along her cheeks and jaws.. and they finally settled on her neck making Shreya shiver. A p.l.e.a.s.u.r.ed m.o.a.n escaped her lips when Charan hit her sweet spot.

Shreya did not know how things got to this when she was reeling on her head just minutes ago.. but she was really not complaining.

Her right hand buried themselves in his hairs.. she just could not decide whether she wanted to pull his head away or keep them in place. Whatever he was doing was driving her crazy.. She was a withering mess with no idea was what to do.

"Charan.."

She couldn't help exclaim his name when she felt him bite into her sweet spot.. his teeth brushed against her skin leaving behind a trail of red in their wake.

Shreya's hand tightened on his hair unconsciously pulling on them while her other hands bunched on his shirts.

Charan's lips left her neck and trailed downwards..

Shreya was wearing just a sports bra under her crop top.. so, they barely covered anything as his lips explored. It fell down her shoulders on one side with little to no effort.

Shreya couldn't help herself from arching herself closer to him giving him better access as her face stayed buried against his neck..

Her panting against his skin just made things so much more worse for Charan.

Shreya let out another m.o.a.n as his hands roamed around electrifying her skin in their wake. But then, her m.o.a.n came to an abrupt stop and turned into a short wince when he unintentionally brushed against her bruised ribs making pain shoot through her head. Her left side of the ribs was pretty beat up. She forcefully bit on his neck to prevent herself from screaming in pain as tears slid down her eyes unconsciously.

Charan instantly froze.. he came back to his senses when his own pain registered and at last as he saw his hands covering her bruised skin.. His hands left her skin instantly as he apologized, "Sorry.. sorry.. I did not realize.. Wait, I will get you something for the pain!!"

But he never got around to actually getting up from the bed as Shreya held him in a death grip..

"Shreya.. just let me get you an ice pack!!" Charan tried but she never bothered to loosen her grip.

"Just let me hold you for a while.. it doesn't hurt anymore.." Shreya blurted out. But her breathing was still labored. It was hard for Charan to distinguish whether it was due to pain or because of their previous activities.

But either way, he did not dare to move a muscle in fear of hurting her all over again.

"I am sorry I hurt you.." He still whispered against her ears burying his face against her neck..

A short while after Shreya pulled away and looked at him. She wordlessly adjusted herself on his l.a.p.s and snuggled closer to him and went to sleep..
