She Drew Stars Around My Scars
âDo you regret kissing me, Ishika?â
His voice droppedâdark, low, and possessive enough to steal the air from my lungs.
My entire body froze.
Not because I didnât know the answerâ
But because I did.
My breath hitched, sharp and aching. Regret?
God. If only he knew what that kiss did to me.
His grip didnât loosen. His fingers dug gently into my wrist, grounding me to him, to the heat of his body pressed against my back. I could feel every inch of himâdangerous, intoxicating, magnetic.
âIshika,â he rasped again, each syllable laced with something desperate. Something real.
âDo. You. Regret. It?â
I should lie. Say it meant nothing. That it was a mistake.
But my heart?
It was screaming. Screaming for him.
No.
No, I didnât regret it.
I couldnât.
If I had, I wouldnât still feel his taste on my lips.
I wouldnât still be burning from the ghost of his touch.
I wouldnât still be aching for more.
âWe wouldnât have kissed that longâŠâ I whispered, finally turning to look at him, ââŠand still not wanted to stop⊠if I regretted it.â
My voice trembled.
He stopped breathing. Literally. His chest pressed to mine, unmoving, as if my confession turned his whole world upside down.
âIf I regretted it, VeerâŠâ I whispered, ââŠI wouldnât be standing here, craving your mouth on mine again.â
And that's itâ
I felt the pull.
