Heated Hearts

The Unexpected

||Aster's POV||

I couldn’t help my tears as I broke down infront of him, burying my head inside the duvet ; earnestly wishing for the earth to swallow me.

Rayven put his hand on my shoulder, trying to make me face him but I clenched my body in one place, as hard as I could.

I didn’t want to face him...

I didn’t want to look into those eyes...

I wouldn’t be able to tolerate the humiliation...

He gave up and for a few minutes, there was pure silence in the room and I could hear my muffled sobs, followed by his sighs.

After what felt like an eternity,the mattress next to me shifted and I knew Rayven got up.

He'll probably leave me and then mock about me being an ultimate desperate person to kiss him in while he was asleep.

Great!

I waited silently for the sound of the main door, expecting him to leave.

Stay Rayven, please. I beg you..

Go Rayven, go, Please...

Two voices clashed inside me, breaking my heart into pieces.

Suddenly, I felt a gentle but powerful pull. Because I wasn’t ready, it took me of guard. Before I could realize or retaliate, I was facing Rayven who hovered over me.

I closed my eyes abruptly, not wanting to meet his judging or mocking gaze.

"Open you eyes," he hissed, while his palms travelled on my cheeks.

It was as if he had me on a spell, the moment his voice rang inside my head I found my eyes shooting open abruptly.

It was as if something or someone forced me to do so, and I didn’t control that action of mine.

But all my critical thoughts went deafeningly silent when I stared into his pair of eyes.

His ocean blue eyes weren't mocking this time, they weren't hateful or cold.

Rather, they gazed at me so warmly that I felt myself healing inwardly merely by that eye contact.

For a moment, I forgot everything other than those eyes...

He captivated my face in between his palms and wiped my tears gently with his thumb, he was so careful ; so gentle while doing it that it melt my heart.

It was as if he was scared that I would break apart under his touch...

Rayven stared at me for a few seconds before doing something, I had never expected him to do.

When his lips pressed against mine, my breathing hitched and my eyes widened in shock.

But the moment he curled his head, deepening the kiss and his lips...his heavenly lips... started moving against mine in a heavenly sync, I got lost in it.

My eyes shut automatically and my hands moved on the back of his neck.

Vast amount of electricity traveled through my body, making my toe curl and thousands of butterflies fluttered their wings inside my stomach.

As our lips moved against each other in perfect sync, I caressed his hair and gently massaged his scalp with my fingertips.

He was found hissing in between our kissed when I slightly bit him.

Rayven's movement changed and the soft kiss, turned fiery in no time.

I hissed in pain when his lips touched the spot that was cut, because of the incident earlier.

His movements softened and he gently sucked the place, miraculously vanishing all the pain in an instance before claiming my mouth again.

Biting my lips softly yet powerfully, Rayven made way for his tongue to evade my mouth...

And I found myself moaning in the kiss when his tongue expertly started working it's way inside my mouth.

Rayven snaked his one hand against my back and kept another on my cheek, maintaining the balance while he pulled my body more into him.

Fire burned in every bit of my body when his soft kisses and bites turned harsh and fast.

I could feel my body reacting to his every touch as it invited him more and melt under wherever his hands travelled...

I didn’t know how long we kissed but it didn’t felt enough, yet I was almost out of breath by the heavenly kiss.

It was a mystery to me how Rayven understood and moved his lips away from my lips, and they travelled against my neck.

While I tried to catch my breath, his tormentation on my neck made me go breathless even more.

Wherever his lips travelled he made sure to leave that spot on fire, yearning for more.

Rayven wasn’t the first guy I made out with.

But at this moment,I could guarantee he was the first and last guy who could make me feel all these emotions at once.

Outside, the sky drizzled loudly and we both halted as if finally we were pulled out of a daze by the lightning.

I looked at Rayven, both confused and scared, as my chest heaved to catch my breath.

But all the fears dissolved inside my heart when I saw a genuine and warm smile on his face.

He caressed my cheeks with his palms and tucked my hair strands behind my ear before pulling himself close to me.

Resting his forehead against mine, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

I followed him, and we stayed like that while my heart raced faster than Usain Bolt.

I could hear the raindrops outside,and I could hear my own heart beating...

But the strangely unexpected thing that I could feel was the peace that came with the closeness of this person brought me...

The sparks, the warmth inside the left side of my chest and the fluttering butterflies that waved their wings inside my stomach... it was all so strong ... so familliar...yet, so nonpareil.

At that moment, I somehow knew this wasn’t the end and neither was a beginning but it was a never ending feeling that would always reside in my heart and travel across my mind.

I wonder what Rayven was feeling?

Did he feel the same as me? Did he feel the same sparks?

Or was it just a random kiss for him?

Actually, if this was someone other than Rayven I would've said they definitely had feelings for me and felt as amazing as I did.

But it was Rayven, and Rayven was always Unpredictable, Untouchable, Distant and hiding...

It was so unusual for him to stay so eerily quiet...

My heart sped up once again as fear tried to swallow me.

Insecurities and queries rushed inside my head as I held my breath for him to say something...Anything...

All my questions, insecurities were gone when a pair of soft lips pressed firmly against my forehead...

Momentarily, I froze and he kept his lips on the exact same place, eying me...

"Forever, " he mumbled under his breath,it was so short lasting and so low pitched that I doubted if he even said that or it was my imagination.

But nevertheless, tears threatened my eyes and I held back my tears that were ready to leave my eyes...

Rayven got up from me abruptly and I frowned when I watched him staring at me with a mischievous grin.

Oh boy, it is back again!

"Well, if your hunger for my lips have been satisfied ; shall we go down and have some food?" he asked winking at me.

I'm sure my face had turned the darkest shade of crimson as his words sank into me and I threw a pillow at him...

This time I didn’t miss, or more like he didn’t dodge as he stood their getting hit by it, making me giggle...

His ocean eyes sparkled with amusement visible in them, while he watched me giggling...
