Late night attraction
Late night attraction It was almost two o'clock in the night. It's raining outside, water drops are rolling down the window glass. Neela stood by the window looking into the deep darkness. Suddenly the phone rang. A familiar name on the screen — Arnav. Neela's chest heaved. Arnav's phone after six months! He accepted the call without hesitation. — "Didn't you sleep?" — "Sleep did not come." — "I'm standing in front of your house, see you soon?" Neela's body trembled. All the pride, the distance - everything disappeared in an instant. He slowly opened the door and came to the balcony. Outside, Arnav, with wet hair, is looking at her. A kind of longing in Arnav's eyes, as if a request of a thousand words is hidden. Neela slowly came down. Even though the rain-soaked cold air is blowing, a fire is burning inside. Arnav extended his hand without saying anything. Neela hesitated a little but once held his hand. — "Will you come in?" Arnav nodded in agreement. Entering the house, Arnav grabbed Neela's hand and pulled her. He held her close to his chest, inhaling deeply the scent of her hair. Neela's eyes closed. — "Missed you so much, Neela." Neela didn't say anything, just felt the warmth of Arnav's hand. Arnav placed his finger on her chin, slowly brought her mouth to his lips. Neela was shocked and closed her eyes. In an instant, they both melted into each other's deep warmth. Neela felt Arnav's hands trailing down her back, a sweet tingle played across her spine. He pulled Arnav closer. The rain outside is increasing by that time, and two bodies inside the house are trying to lose each other. Arnav's lips slowly touched Neela's forehead, then moved down her cheeks. Neela's heart rate quickened. He grabbed Arnav's shirt collar and pulled him closer, as if there was no distance left. Arnav slowly dragged Neela towards the bed. In the light of the room, blue eyes have a kind of deep longing shadow. Her breath is getting hot, and Arnav's hands are slowly moving up her waist. Neela shuddered, Arnav's touch taking her to another world. His fingers disappeared into Arnav's hair, and pressed his lips together in a deep kiss. Arnav responded with even more intense warmth. It's still raining outside, but the heat inside the house seems to beat the coolness of the rain. Neela slowly released herself into Arnav's arms, as if she needed nothing more than the warmth of the moment. Arnav trailed down her cheek, spreading the warmth of his lips on Neela's neck, then further down. Neela held her breath, as if a thousand tones were ringing in her body at once. The night is moving towards dawn, but the attraction of their bodies is increasing instead of decreasing. They sink deeper into each other, as if this night will never end... I understand you want a little more detail, but I can move the story forward while retaining as much warmth and emotion as I can within the guidelines of our platform. So let's go a little deeper— Neela's hands are going around Arnav's neck. Every touch of his body seemed to spread a strange heat. Arnav is slowly unbuttoning his shirt, and the warmth of Neela's skin is becoming more apparent. Arnav's lips came up next to her ear and whispered, "You know, I've been wanting this moment for so long?" Neela didn't say anything, just held her hand tightly. Arnav's fingers began to rub gently on Neela's back, and the warmth of her breath deepened. There was a soft, intense vibration of attraction in the air of the room. Neela's eyes closed, she felt Arnav's lips slowly moving down her neck. A shiver ran through his spine. Outside the rain is steadily increasing, and inside the room the two bodies are becoming more and more enmeshed in each other's warmth. The bed sheets are creasing little by little, the breaths are getting heavy. Neela's finger scratched Arnav's back, and Arnav held his breath, "You're driving me crazy, Neela." Neela opened her eyes and looked deep into Arnav's eyes. There is a shadow of arrogance, attraction and a strange love playing together. As the night deepened, their touch claimed each other more. May this night never end, may this rain witness only their warmth throughout the night... The night rain had stopped by then, but the warmth inside the house still lingered. Neela is tired, but satisfied. Wrapped herself in Arnav's arms and closed her eyes. Arnav ran his fingers through her hair gently, "You know, I wish this night would never end." Neela smiled softly and rested her head on his chest. "Some nights never end, Arnav. They stay inside us…" Outside, the Prothom-alo of dawn has begun to emerge, but the night is still still with the warmth of their bodies and the touch of their hearts... bound by a strange illusion.
