I Am Tired Of Being A Hero-Chapter 164: Breathless (Slight M)

The heart pounding against his own made him feel hope, and hope made him greedily. Ravi’s voice was low with a desperate sense of seeking salvation within.

"Please... Please..." Could you kiss me just once? He wanted to beg but even in his desperation, the restraint was like an anchor, not letting him voice out his deepest desire.

Arlen’s hands went round his waist pulling him closer, those blue eyes on him were so deep, so intense that it set flames on his skin, "Forgive me." He whispered, his voice was so light, that it felt that the wind would blow the words away.

The moment his lips met Ravi, all the tension, and all the electricity that saturated the air flowed into his body. Kissing was a physical sensation, a press of the lip but this was so much more, it was as if his soul shuddered when he met those impossibly soft lips and a breathlessness flooded him, so strong that his head felt dizzy.

He kissed him softly, softly tickling at the spot where his lips were joined, his tongue tracing his mouth, like a painter with a brush.

The kiss had initially been gentle but all too fast, Arlen grew ravenous. He pulled Ravi’s hips flush against his and sank into the taste of him. Their mouths clashed in a frenzy of lips, of tongues, and of teeth and he drowned in the delirious bliss that coursed through him. Even his dream last night could not compare to this, nothing could compare to this.

Ravi.

He should stop. He did not have an excuse prepared and he did not know how Ravi could react. After this kiss, nothing about their relationship would remain the same but Arlen, Arlen could not bring himself to think about that right now. He could not let go of Ravi even if the world was on fire right now.

He tightened his grip on Ravi and kissed him harder, needing him more than the oxygen he needed to breathe. His scent was driving him insane and he could feel that his propriety was non-existent as he lost himself in those red-tinted lips and the hot mouth that was willingly clashing with his.

He panted and pulled away for a second but seeing those glassy, hazel eyes watching him with something he could not quite tell, those hands weaving around his hair, Arlen dove back in with even more fervor , dragging his tongue along Ravi in desperately like the world might end if they are apart for one second.

Ravi met his every movement, their mouths crashing together as their tongues glid in harmony, he felt the tight grip on his hair, moving down to his back and Arlen sank into the headiness of it, in the absolute thrill of each brush of Ravi’s fingers on his back.

It was like they were learning from each other, memorizing each other with nothing but their lips. It humbled him, and it made him want Ravi with an intensity that nearly buckled his knees. He wanted to lay Ravi on the ground and continue when he heard a loud cough.

Arlen ignored it.

The person coughed again and Ravi pulled back, the quiet interrupted by the ragged sounds of their breaths. His shoulders heaved and his entire face flushed.

Arlen looked at him, his eyes were still glassy, his face was flushed and his lips were both swollen and glossy. It swallowed, and he wanted to kiss him more. His throat bobbled as he looked at him.

Another cough and Arln turned back, "Did you catch a virus in Sloven? Brother? Could you just stop coughing?"

"The two of you can continue your business later but I have to interrogate Officer West first."

Arlen did not want to apologize for the kiss. He helped Ravi up, his heart pounding and he lowered his head like a teen who had done something wrong. After a minute and Ravi had not said anything, he looked up and saw the other was still staring at him blankly, a little dazed as if he was shocked into absolute silence.

Ravi raised his hand to touch his mouth absentmindedly, they were hot, so very hot.

Was that a kiss?

He had kissed before but it did not burn him alive. He had loved before but it did not feel this, like he had been waiting for this person forever.

Ah! His head was buzzing. Arlen had kissed him, Why?

A part of him screamed, wasn’t it obvious while the other part would not dare guess.

Arlen had kissed him. It was not a gentle kiss on the forehead. Maybe he was thinking too much, maybe on this earth, friends kiss each other on the lips.

But that does not make sense.

Arlen kissed him.

Arlen kissed him.

Arlen kissed him.

He wanted to look at him, he wanted to ask him more, so much more but he did not know if words could leave his dry throat.

He felt dizzy, almost like he needed to sit for a while.

"Not to interrupt your process of becoming, I am on urgent business. Officer West, did you see someone before you fainted, beautiful, blind man." The icy voice cut through the atmosphere without any mercy.

Ravi looked up to see a man slightly older than Arlen, probably in his early thirties. He had long sandy blonde hair tied in a low ponytail and his eyes though blue, looked less like the blue of an ocean and more like of the blue of a frozen glacier. He looked a little like Arlen, his brow bone and nose was chiseled and resolute. He looked less human and more like a cold stone statue without any single expression lining his face.

Ravi shook his head.

"Anouk. Ravi was just kidnapped. He deserves to rest, not be interrogated by you. The only reason you came here was to look for the villain you are shaking.’ His voice sounded a little disappointed, making Ravi frown and he blinked, coming closer to him and placing a hand on his shoulder.

Arlen looked at him, and those sad eyes immediately brightened up.

The expression in his eyes made Ravi’s fingers tremble as he recalled the most important thing.

Arlen kissed him.

Anouk looked at the two of them and sighed, "Arlen. I need to find him." The voice was still icy but there was something in it, like a pot about to boil over but hastily stopped with a lid.

Malik, what did you do now?

"Your..." Anouk did not know what term to use, "Your officer West..." He shook his head when he saw the huge grin on Arlen’s face, "has the ability to self heal so he should not be injured physically, he should see a psychiatrist tomorrow. But he should not mind answering a few questions for me, Officer West." the man looked at him.

This was Arlen’s older brother, Ravi nodded.

He thought that the man dressed in a black pressed suit would be concerned a bit about what happened to her but it was as if the dead body of Helenaq was not even in their eyes, "When did you lose consciousness?"

"I am not sure. An hour ago? I am sorry, I don’t remember everything, I was running, that was the last thing I remember."

Ravi felt a large hand slip into his, pressing gently. His eyes widened, and all his senses were focused on his left hand, it was like his hand was not being held but his very being. The hand holding his seemed to be trembling a little but still stroked him to give comfort

Ravi felt like his heart was being soaked in a jar of honey, he did not need to be comforted but being comforted like this, he liked it a lot.

What to do, everything that Arlen did made him like him even more.

Anouk looked at their hands together and took a deep breath. See, this is how lovers are meant to behave, Malik had never even held his hands like this before.

"Before you fell into a coma, did you feel a nudge in your head, like a slight headache?"

Ravi looked at him.

"You did. So he was here. Why would he team up with a low-level villain organization?"

"Low leveled, those people kidnapped Ravi."

"I am sorry for your pain." He said without a change in his expression.

Ravi’s lips twitched and he could understand both Malik and this person, "I would canvas Davenport before going. Officer West, here is my card. If you remember anything, do not hesitate to call me." He passed over a black card to Ravi which he slipped in his pocket.

"Are you going now?"

"What? Do you want to hold my hands too?" Anouk stretched his hand to Arlen who sneered.

"Fuck off!"

The other turned around and his boots lit up before he shot into the sky.

"Sorry. That was my other brother, Anouk. I will introduce you two officially later."

The two of them were alone and Ravi could feel his heart pounding one more time.

Arlen had just kissed him.

Arlrn swallowed and moved closer, "Ravi, listen..."

His words were interrupted by the loud sound of the police siren in the distance.
