Chapter 10
Gauri froze. Was he really there? But he was supposed to be o ut of town. She had been thinking of him so much lately, that she wasn't sure if she had conjured him up.His thoughts occupied her every waking moment, he had even managed to invaded her dreams. There was no getting away.
She watched him as he stood there non chalantly, but there was nothing casual about the way he was staring at her. He was holding her gaze with his, drawing her in, hypnotizing her. Her mind was screaming at her to run, escape,while there was still time...But for the life of her she could not move.Her body seemed paralysed. She stood there like a statue, with the rain pouring down on her.
His gaze started moving southward, slowly, excruciatingly. His eyes fell on her trembling lips, her slender swan like neck, past her heaving breasts, as she struggled to breathe, her slender waist, her long shapely legs accentuated by the wet saree that left little to imagination. His gaze left a trail of fire, she was burning, inspite of the rain.
She felt she was on display, but for him,only for him. Gauri was shaken out of her stupor by that thought. What was she thinking? Hey Sankarji! He was driving her crazy. She had to get away from him. She made a dash for her bedroom, as fast as her legs could carry her.
She ran up the sweeping staircase turning her neck,her eyes widening as she saw him following her. She quickened her pace, barged into her room banging the door shut, she was struggling with the lock, when the crashed open forcefully, throwing her back with the momentum.Omkara stood at the threshold.
He calmly stepped over the threshold and closed the door behind him, locking it. Gauri swallowed "What are you doing here, what do you want"? she asked, her voice held a faint tremor which he noticed and smiled."Just wanted to spend sometime with you, we don't see each other much"he said softly his eyes caressing her face.
