The sound of children wrangling and their laughter filled the living room and escaped through the French window onto the porch of Aryaan's new terrace as he pulled up to the driveway from afar. He was finally home- his home; the place was his own, a dear prize to himself after years of back breaking hard work, relentless house hunting and it had all paid off over a year ago.
It has been an exhaustive journey so far. A total of four hours from the work site to the airport by car, but his arrival to the terminal didn't affect the unsettling weather conditions lately, it is expected to be so this time of the year. The rain and snow fall made the roads far more dangerous to travel upon, let alone long windy roads to the mountain tops. The weather, along with his pure dumb luck caused his flight to be delayed for yet another couple of hours. 'When will I ever catch a break...' he thought to himself.
It's definitely been rough couple of years for him, he voluntarily put himself in a place where he doesn't speak the language, where con-artists and lawyers work in the same firms and wear the same uniforms, where he rarely got a full night's sleep when production is up and the loneliness, not to say the least. He called to move and work in remote sites in hopes that setting up a production line in the outskirts would be far more affordable. And besides, he had nothing to lose, no wife, no kids, no dependents, he was a free man and so he took the risk. Rightly so, the business profited three folds in less than two years... But the implications that came along with such decisions were too difficult to live with so he thought he could use a break.
He completed eighteen months away from family and familiar faces. The commotion at work had conclusively bubbled-down and it was safe enough for him to leave the operations and hand it over to the site engineers for maintenance. Tired and exhausted as he was, he was finally going home - but not until two hours from now.
Aryaan thought it would be a good idea to call home and let everyone know he's been delayed. His brothers' wife panics and expects the worse to have happened to anyone when in fact they were just running late.
Someone answered before he heard the second ring.
"Hello. Who's there?" A little mousey voice trying to sound sophisticated.
She answered before he could respond to her. "Aryaan maamaa!" His face on the caller ID was a dead giveaway.
"What time will you be here?" Tanya is the four year old princess of his heart, she had just about enough of mishaps, excuses and delays and she won't be dealing with another from Aryaan. He felt his heart smiled at the sound of her lovely voice. He could picture her soft little cheek pressed onto the receiver at the other end, Aryaan heard her so clearly that he felt her so close, he could reach out and hold her that he almost forgot to respond to her question.
"I'm coming home as fast as I can sweethea-" Someone pulled the receiver away from her and she started wailing and kicking on something hard in efforts to display protest. Aryaan panicked thinking what if she had a fall! He realized that much of Tanya's mother's superstitious thinking had rubbed off on him too.
"Hello?" Aryaan said as he stuck his index finger in his ear and proceeded to squint in efforts to drown out all the noises from his surroundings, he thought maybe it was the reception on his mobile.
"ARYAAN MAAMA CAN WE USE YOUR COMPUTER IN THE STUDY ROOM? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! DAKSHAN AND I WANT TO FIND OUT IF BATMAN AND IRONMAN ARE FRIENDS OR ENEMIES?" Such excitement in his tone, Aryaan smirked to himself in relief. Of course, it was Darshan. The mischievous yet charming- no less, little six years old twin. He was older by 2 minutes. Dakshan was now wrestling his older-by-120 seconds brother to get a chance to run another question by to Aryaan.
"Yes, but only if you be -- Darshan? Dakshan? Guys?? Hello?" Further interruption again and yet another unanswered question. He could hear Tanya snatching the phone and trying to pull it away from the boys, but her brother was too strong, and times two.
Aryaan began to rub his forehead and pace back and forth around the lounge area in the airport and decided to wait until someone from home was ready to have a decent conversation without having to have their hands on somebody else's face.
"Hello? Darshan? Guys come on now...Hello" Aryaan knew he could just hang up and redial in hopes that someone else, preferably an 'adult' would pick up, but he simply didn't. He missed the children; he wanted to somehow be present with his nephews and niece by listening in on their feuds.
"Aryaan?" He immediately recognized that voice. He sat up straight and cleared his throat as he lost his train of thought. Somehow that voice dissipated everything else.
"Hey!" The soft, honey glazed luscious voice called out. He heard a slight smile on her face. It was as if a nightingale had spoken. All the weight that was on his shoulders scurried away, he felt a tingle on his chest.
"Hey Kay." That was all that he could muster out. He was weak in the knees and felt a little light headed.
"Is everything okay?" she asked. He could still hear that smile. Aryaan's niblings had long forgotten about their bickering and was now crowding around her like little picket fences around a lush green garden.
"Everything is fine; my flight got pushed back for a couple of hours. We couldn't get the clearance because of the storm outside." He said trying to sound casual.
"Ohh Noo, I'm sorry... Just... ummm... just take your time and get here safely. I'll inform your brother." She assured him. His knees grew weaker. Aryaan felt the need to rush home now more so than ever.
"Yea great, Thanks! You uhhhh, so you'll be around f-f-for a while? Aryaan shut his eyes so tight as if a bomb was about to go off right beside him. He regretted it the moment those words were spoken. His internal monologue began... 'Aryaan you dumb idiot! What if she's busy? What if she's married? What if she doesn't want to see you? What if she doesn't think it's a good ide—'
"I'll be up waiting for you..." She said with a smile he could hear. Kay always had the most seducing voice ever possible according to Aryaan. She was surreal.
As soon as Aryaan hung up, he took a seat on the sofa, pushed his hair back and let out a sigh. He couldn't wait to get home, excitement was building up. All these months without her touch made him really short tempered and agitated. There were a couple of times when he and Kay would try to hit it off online but the last few months were really rough. Things at work took a toll on him and everything that could go wrong- was going wrong for him.
If Aryaan wanted, a few girls back in his office were always a tease, sending him suggestive text messages and anonymous invitations to hotel rooms was a normal thing he'd wake to over the weekends. He knew those girls just wanted to be a mistress and no genuine interests towards his emotions. Aryaan would channel all that pent up sexual energy and loneliness at the gym. Hours on end lifting, running and pumping. He wanted no one but Kay to satisfy him, no one would do but her. If body partners were a thing, it would so be her and him, he thought to himself.
He recalled the first time he made love to her, it was so intense and passionate; the afterglow lasted for a few days on her. He had her pinned down on his bed as she arched her back towards him. She buried her beautiful face in the pillow as he slammed into her from the back like a piston; and she rode him like a goddess. He felt and tasted every part of her that night, so happens that they had guests over that night, so she couldn't moan too loud... He'd done many things on purpose that night, just to make her moan... But he wasn't always the dominant one.
He vividly recalls a time when she came over to his place from a girl's night out, he'd given her the house keys since the first time they did each other. Kay had an elegant yet sexy dress on, there was a deep cut stretching from the right side of her hips to the opposite end of her ankle.
Aryaan was lazing on the couch watching the game. She walked straight to him and greeted him with her mouth and their tongues entwined. Her hands found their way to his thighs as she was leaning in towards him. She pushed him back on the couch and swung one leg over him and placed herself on top him. She undid her hair and the black flow just drowned everything else in the room, the whole living room smelt amazing. Aryaan held on to her hips instinctively, they were sucking the life out of each others' faces and they wouldn't let each other go. She ran her hands searchingly across his torso looking for the ends of his t-shirt to get it out of the way but she couldn't break the kiss... So she slid her hand inside his shirt and felt his warm, burning body. She could feel his entire toned chest and all the packs on his belly. Aryaan kept nibbling on her lips and pressing her down on his lap. She broke the kiss by pulling herself away from him.
His eyes locked at hers, both of them panting for air. Aryaan pulled his shirt over his head and flung it across the floor. He tried to lift her up to his waist but she held on to his hands and gently pushed him back on the couch. With deft movements, she pulled his shorts and boxers down to his ankle in one go. Aryaan was taken by surprise and buck naked in his living room. She leaned in on him to give him a gentle kiss, but he grabbed her and began to bite her neck. She was in ecstasy; she wanted to just let him take her. He found the zipper to her dress at the back and zipped it down and tossed it on the back. She knew what he wanted to do next and her clit was throbbing. She quickly picked herself up and pushed his chest back onto the couch and she got on her knees. She got in between his legs and flipped her hair back so that he could see what she was going to do. .
"Watch" she said as she trailed kisses from his torso to his belly and she kissed his shaft. She kissed the tip of it and heard him let out a moan, he licked his lips and watched her. She gently trailed his shaft with her teeth, lightly padding them with her lips. Aryaan threw his head back and whispered 'hooo shit'. She wasn't supposed to hear that, but she did, and she let out a little giggle. He quickly responded by saying 'You'll make me cum if you don't stop'... His face flushed and he was so embarrassed of himself.
"Let's play a game baby boy; you can't cum until I'm done." She said.
Aryaan was as helpless as a deer during hunting season as he looked to her for answers.
