"Anuj... Anuj...it's time...."

She stopped short as she saw him exit the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist. Seeing him half naked for the first time ever set her heart beating wildly. Her eyes widened as they slowly scanned his body capturing every bit of it and registering them permanently in her brain. His toned muscles were creating havoc to her senses. She wondered how it would feel to graze them gently with her fingers. She felt her breath hitch at the very thought of that.

Had he known she was up, he would have never thought of coming out of the bathroom in such a state. He would never wantedly put her in an uncomfortable position. He opened his mouth to apologize but stopped as he saw her eyes taking in every bit of him. He had expected her to turn around or atleast look somewhere else but she did neither. Instead she stood rooted to the ground not taking her eyes off him. Her eyes were evoking feelings in him that he had buried long back. He had never even dared to dream that one day she would be in his house looking at him like this. Slowly, he took small steps and walked towards her. Coming close to her, he said in a low husky voice

"Like what you see?"

She gasped a little as the sound of his voice pulled her out of her dreamland.

"Uh... I.."

"You... what?"

She tried to talk something that would make sense but his close proximity was fogging her brain.

"Anu...?"

She closed her eyes took in a deep breath and mentally counted backwards from 10 to calm her nerves. She then reached out, grabbed his hand, opened his palm and placed the medicine she had in her hand.

"Eat it..."

He looked at the medicine in his hand and nodded slightly. As she turned to leave he grabbed her by her elbow and turned her around. 

"Anu... I... uh... did you... do you feel embarrassed?"

"No... how can I feel embarrassed when it's YOU in the towel? To be honest I am so happ..."

She stopped as she saw his intense gaze on her. Biting her tongue, she mumbled about getting ready to office and rushed out.
