"Where's the birthday girl?" A guest asked Maitri and Aryaman who were checking if the party was in order.

"She was on the dancefloor a few minutes back" Aryaman said smiling as a waiter held a tray of different glasses of drinks in his hand offering them to take one.

"She isn't there" The guest said looking at the dancefloor to find Aarchi. Aryaman looked around worriedly when Maitri held his hand and squeezed it reassuringly.

"Must have gone out to take pictures with her friends. I'll go find her. I'll bring her to meet you until then have a seat, dinner is about to be served" Maitri said knowing exactly where Aarchi had vanished to.

"Will you manage them until I go and get her?" Maitri asked in a husky voice, making Aryaman look around uncomfortable.

"You are playing with fire Mayu" Aryaman whispered angrily.

Aarchi pushed Vihaan to the wall, covering his body with hers.

"Your dad and brothers will catch us" Vihaan said slipping his hand around her waist.

"You don't look worried about it?" She said fisting his shirt.

"Turn around" He said motioning her with his eyes.

"If it is one more gift then I swear Vihaan, I'll lost my mind" She said holding her finger to him. He held her finger and turned her around. He pulled her strings of the blouse together making her hit her back on his chest as she sucked in a deep breathe.

"They were loose" He whispered sensually in her ears.

"Pull your hair in front jaan, give me the permission to explore your back" He held her straight with his one hand around her waist and the other playing with a string of her blouse. Aarchi closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of his hands around her. 

Vihaan pinched her waist when she didn't respond to him.

"Aahh" Aarchi moaned, crossing the borders between pain and pleasure. Vihaan pushed Aarchi to the wall, holding her hands to the wall.

"I've not even started, and you are moaning Ari" He placed a soft kiss on her jaw, making her throw her head on his shoulder.

"Show me your back" He ordered her, leaving her hands free. With shaking hands and a dry mouth, Aarchi pulled her hair on to her left shoulder.

"Can I open all of them?" He asked her rubbing his thumbs in circles on her lower back. She nodded her head, twisting her hand back and pulling open one string.

"You are such a naughty girl. So desperate to feel my hands on you" Vihaan teased her as he one by one pulled open her blouse.

"Tell me to stop when you feel uncomfortable, or I touch somewhere you aren't ready to be touched" Vihaan said pulling her face towards him. 

"Okay" Aarchi said in anticipation. Vihaan pushed open her blouse and ran his both hands along her back as Aarchi's breathing quickened. She shuddered in cold as the cool air mixed with his warm hands.

"Relax sweetheart. I have no intention of misusing you unless you want it" He covered her naked back with his broad shoulders and chest. Vihaan ducked his head and placed soft kisses on her shoulders without stopping his hands feeling her entire back.

"I love your hands" Aarchi soon relaxed in his arms. Vihaan knelt down and placed kisses on her lower back as she shuddered in pleasure. Vihaan kept kneading her back with his hands while his lips sent currents through her body.

"Vihaan" Aarchi moaned, hiding her face behind her arms. Vihaan smirked and bit her upper back, marking her with his love bites.

"Aaahh Vihaan" Aarchi screamed his name as he peppered kisses on the darkening spots, soothing the pain. His one hand covered her mouth.

"Someone will hear us and I'll lose my life on your death step literally" He said smirking, massaging her nape. Aarchi turned around to pull him into a kiss but stopped hearing a familiar voice.

"Aaruuu?" Maitri looked around the garden trying to find Aarchi.

"Kabab mein haddi" Vihaan hit his head on her shoulder in disappointment as Aarchi looked around in tension.

"Aaru you need to come inside before anyone notice's your absence" Maitri screamed knowing that Aarchi was around.

"Vihaan, we need to get back in" Aarchi said hitting his chest softly.

"Two more minutes" He said kissing her neck. He pushed her to the wall. Aarchi couldn't help but fail against his torturous kisses. She gripped his hair in one hand while the other went around his neck, pulling him closer. Vihaan clutched her blouse pulling it lower as his mouth traced her collar bones.

"FUCK! When did Pornhub come out of incognito mode?" Maitri exclaimed as she saw the couple making out. Aarchi and Vihaan stopped immediately, going cold all of a sudden.

"Bhabhi" Aarchi tried to pull her blouse up as Vihaan helped her.

"Ohh it is my beloved couple. I thought a couple from Pornhub were filming here" Maitri turned around giving the couple privacy. 

"What are you doing on that site?" Vihaan teased her back.

"Just taking inspirations for my married life" Maitri said smiling.

"Ewww, I really didn't want to know what you and bhaiyu do" Aarchi closed her earswith her both hands as Vihaan tied the strings of her blouse.

"Are you both presentable enough for me to turn?" Maitri asked tapping her foot impatiently. Instead of replying, Aarchi stood beside her.

"Ready" Aarchi smiled, straightening her duppata and lehenga.

"You come after 15 minutes" Maitri turned around and looked at Vihaan.

"And you... if someone asks where you were, say you were on a call from your friends abroad" Maitri set the script to hide the two from her family members.

"Okayy" Vihaan and Aarchi agreed smiling. Maitri pulled Aarchi's one part infront, looking at her teasingly.

"The world isn't ready yet to witness your love" She said covering the love bite with her hair.

"Is it that bad?" Vihaan asked concerned, immediately standing infront of Aarchi, examining the bruise.

"Well... Doctor saheb I think its a normal one. And I'm getting pretty uncomfortable standing in all these sexual tension air so please spare me" Maitri said pulling Vihaan away and entwining her hand with Aarchi's.

"See you at dinner" Maitri and Aarchi waved at him as they walked away.

"I'm so tired" Maitri plopped onto the sofa tiredly, placing her feet on Aryaman's laps as Kaira did the same.

"Thankfully everything went by smoothly" Kaira said removing her heavy earrings and placing them on the coffee table.

"True. Waise I didn't see Arush around? Isn't he Aaru's best friend?" Maitri asked looking at Kaira curiously.

"I asked Ridhima about it, she said that Arush is out of town, he's gone for a camp. I think he's wished Aru earlier today" Kaira said getting comfortable on the sofa as Rishav removed her heels and placed them on the floor.

"Where is Aaru though? She vanishes every two minutes" Aviraj said sitting sideways on a single sofa, with his head thrown back and his legs swinging in air.

"To change her clothes I guess" Kaira replied tiredly, yawning out of exhaustion.

"Hmm, let's go sleep" Aviraj stood up, throwing his blazer over his shoulder and walking towards the stairs.

"Carry me" Maitri said holding her hands high so he could carry her to their room.

"You carry me" Aryaman said tiredly.

"Let's sleep here then" Maitri created space for Aryaman beside her. Kaira smiled as she held onto Rishav's shoulder as they too retired for the night.

"Aaja" Aryaman stood up presenting his back to him.

"Piggyback ride" Maitri stood up and jumped onto him. Aryaman shook his head as they made their way to their bedroom.

"Haan har ghadi, har pehar, Har disha

me tum ho main dekhti hu jidhar,

Main Mushkura ke Tumhe Jaan bhi ye

de du, Tum manglo jo agar." Aarchi locked her bedroom and was removing her night suit while humming to the song.

Ha .. Main bhi ab main na

rahu, Aur tu naa tu rahe,

Ek duje me.. Kho jaye hum,

Mil Jaye aa is kadar." She turned around shocked hearing Vihaan's voice. She found him standing in her balcony, leaning onto the door frame watching her intently.

"Vihaan" Aarchi threw the night suit onto the nearest chair and ran to him, pulling him away from the balcony, wondering if anyone saw him.

"What are you doing here?" She asked scared that someone would come.

"I couldn't be the first one to wish you, but I can be the last one, can't I?" He asked walking in, looking at her room in awe.

"Someone will see you" She said walking behind him.

"No one will" He said smiling.

"How did you climb here?" She asked holding his hand and pulling him to the sofa.

"Ladder" He said shrugging his shoulder.

"You are mad" She said standing up.

"Where?" He stopped her by holding her hand.

"To change. If I stay in this one more minute, it will automatically come undone" She joked.

"Then let it be one more minute" He said pulling her back onto the sofa.

"You naughty boy" She laughed standing up.

"Come soon, kahi tera pyasa, teri ek jhalak ke intezaar mein tarasta na mar jaya" (Come soon, or else a man thirsty for you, would die in the wait of your one glimpse) Vihaan said lying down on the sofa. Aarchi threw her unpinned duppata at him which he caught laughingly and waited for her.

Aarchi quickly wiped off the makeup and changed into her favourite nightsuit and walked out to see Vihaan sleeping hugging her duppata to his chest. She walked to him and knelt down.

"I can't believe that you are mine" She whispered moving her head closer to his as she placed a soft kiss on his forehead, running her fingers in his hair.

"Ari..." Vihaan murmured in half asleep, holding her hand in his. 

"Wake up sleepyhead. There's just one minute left in my birthday finishing" She said looking at him lovingly.

"What?" Vihaan woke up worriedly and sat straight rubbing his eyes.

"I don't know how I fell asleep" He apologized as Aarchi walked in front of the window from where the moonlight lit her entire bedroom.

"I want something from you" Aarchi said turning around. Vihaan's eyebrows scrunched as he walked to her.

"What do you want?" He asked thinking of everything he could bring to her in that moment.

"I want it here, under moonlight with the nightingales singing in the background" She looked at the moonlight. Within no time Vihaan was beside her. He pulled her into his arms.

"You sure?" He leaned closer to her, looking into her eyes for permission. She gulped down her salive, closing her eyes, leaning into him. His eyes memorized each curve of her face which glowed under the soft moonlight. He cupped her face in his one hand as his eyes stared onto her soft, pink petal-like lips waiting for him in invitation.

He couldn't help himself and touched her lips with his index finger as Aarchi breathed in deeply. He could feel her quickened breathing as he watched her chest raise and fall rapidly.

Aarchi's hands went onto his chest, gripping his shirt in anticipation. She could feel his warm breathes fanning her lips. She waited for the feel of his lips patiently and just when she thought she had enough, she felt his rough, manly lips on hers. The warmth of his mouth slowly captured all her senses, making her highly aware of his presence around her. Vihaan groaned when he felt her lips on his, shocked at how soft they were under his.

Both of them stayed still, embracing the touch of their lips on each other before Vihaan pulled her even closer and slowly moved his lips against her. Aarchi surrendered her forces against him and let him take the lead. She felt her knees go weak at the fragrance of his sandalwood cologne captivating her rational thoughts.

Vihaan kissed her softly, taking his time in exploring her mouth, letting their tongues dance together rhythmically. She held onto him tighter afraid of falling as he pushed her onto the window pane, making it the perfect angle for both. Aarchi sat at his level and dug her fingers in his hair. 

"I love you Aarchi Ranawat" Vihaan said breaking the kiss, joining his forehead to hers as he breathed harshly.

"Jaam pe jaam peene se kya faida,
Raat guzri to utar jayegi,
Tere labon se jo peeyu,
Umar saari nashe mein guzar jaye" He whispered the shayari to her as she blushed and hugged him tightly.
