127 The heat seared through his veins (Slight M)

Ravi looked up to see blue eyes smiling at him. He realized at this moment that he was drowning in the ocean, whether it was the feeling of being unable to take a breath or his legs not having the strength to swim to shore.

But it was alright. He felt so regretful because he chose to jump into this ocean by himself.

His gaze moved down from those eyes to those lips. Pink and full. Oh heaven! How would they taste?

He wanted to kiss him so much that his entire body hummed with the desire to do so, to rise on his tip-top, and close the gap between their lips, to taste Arlen, claiming those lips in a passionate kiss.

But Arlen was not his to claim, the thought made him restrain himself.

"Arlen!" He called out. His voice was very light, so light it barely carried away.

'I am okay. You can stop hugging me now."

Arlen chuckled, the timbre of his voice causing Ravi's body to vibrate, "Just one minute more."
