The Quill Part 2- - Page 38

Do you know your sister Praddy? Pia was not above accusing Tara over a pair of slippers. Slippers!

Nasty as they might be, Pia and Gaurav are still family. The way she feels about Gaurav is the same as how he feels about Pia. Both have to see that.

The dude said sorry. The situation is a tough one. Gaurav is being an ass too. But still, he did apologize. Points to the dude for that.

Buttons & captures

She was intensely conscious of being close to him in a tight spot, his long legs brushed hers, his left hand reached for her elbow and cupped it

“Button my shirt for me” he whispered

“Do I get a break in rent?” she asked flatly

He laughed and laughed

They both forgot Gaurav was outside…. In Taaruni’s room to be exact, plotting his next move, talking to his wife as he stared out the large window.

He waited patiently hands tucked into his pockets, and gave her one of his slow charming smiles, causing her heart to flutter disturbingly

“When this is all over I am probably going to need a new heart” she told herself “how much can it take?”

When he be like this my knees shake I feel distinctly weird. Gosh!!

It’s a good thing Gaurav is here. I couldn’t stay alone with him in this house… nope!

She was like a bag of explosives, and he was a tinderbox. All he had to do was strike one and blow her up fully, to the space station

“I have all day so take your time” he promised tauntingly

“PR…”

He cut her off “Do it Taara” he growled

She watched her arms shake like a leaf as she went up to his collarbone to gather the ends

His skin glowed freshly shaved, his skin more tanned from being out and about in the Goa sun

She gently pushed the button into the hole and squeezed it out, his breath on her arm

“Good”

“Are you evaluating the job?”

“Umm.. sort of” he whispered

His eyes on her face the whole time, she could feel the heat rising in her cheeks

He bend down further his body leaning towards her now

She missed one, he held her wrist up and guided her back to the work area

She rolled her eyes

He gently planted his lips on her cheek

She let out a soft whimper

“When you are done tuck it into my trousers” he whispered

She abruptly dropped her arms, her cheeks blazing

“Pradyut no” she whispered

His lips touched her mouth gently at first, and then she felt his tongue…. She arched momentarily enjoying the pulsating pleasure

“Well then we can both stand here all day and debate it taara” he whispered

She wanted the kiss, but didn’t want things that will make her plunge further into the snakepit called Pradyut Munjal

She groaned

“I am going to help you when you get to the last button” he promised as if he was helping her cheat in her Eng. Exam

She growled

“I know” he chuckled on her lips and stepped away

She didn’t even have to look to notice he was aroused

“Good God!” she whispered inaudibly

She got to the last button with her shaking hands

He gently pushed her right hand over his belt

She felt the tautness

“Pradyuttttt” she whispered

He coaxed her to undo it

She found her hand inside the open flaps of his trousers she will wonder how it happened much later…. And all day long

He held her by her waist groaning audibly as she furiously tucked his shirt in not looking up at him

When she was done, he was too quick for her he pressed her palm down

They kissed like they hadn’t kissed in weeks

His hands caressed her body, heating up her skin further. Her skimpy lounge shorts offering easy access to her soft pliable form.

Her eyes were closed and head tilted back when he released her lips. The silken glide of his hands over her rib cage, his fingertips flirting above her ribs, his thumb pausing, sending a savage knifing of sensual pleasure coursing through her veins “Pia’s at 8” she felt the hickey on her neck

Anger frustration and arousal intermingled and they pulled away from each other staggering like two drunk sailors, they heard footsteps outside they wondered if Gaurav was going to start pounding the door

She let out a faint sob, as she fixed her clothing and ran to the bathroom to take a cold shower

She didn’t have change of clothes

He walked over to her closet, after cursing out loud and letting his body cool down a bit and pulled out some underwear and a pair of jeans and a tee and brought it back to his closet

He knocked on the door leading to the bathroom

“I brought your clothes”

“Get lost” she scowled

He let himself out for work after glaring at Gaurav

When she came out, she found just the right color underwear to go inside her tee

Sent a pang of irritation at how he must have done this before with other women, no wonder he knew

She was going to beg Gaurav to leave

But found him drinking wine in the kitchen

“Kya kar rahe ho”

“Kuch nahi bas ek… just one”

“Ma will be heartbroken Bhai, subah 10 baje?” she felt tears

“Toone us se andar baat ki?” he scowled

She was in a daze

There was no talking… there was no talking

“Umm.. he doesn’t care for what Papa left for the family”

“Aise kehne waale log sabse pehle daava bolte hain Taru”

“Bhai no more wine… JUST STOP” she poured the remainder of the glass in the sink

Based on how he didn’t get angry at all she suspected he was just messing with her

He was too much in control to be an alcoholic

“Don’t shame the family Bhai, you are married with two kids”

“Yaad aa gayi tujhe ye baat?”

“Whatt?”

“Tushar ke bache tujhe pyaare hain” he looked hurt and angry

“Bhabhi never hands the phone to the kids” she shrieked

“Tu aa nahi sakti Bangalore?” he shouted back

“KAISE aaoongi, book store kaun dekhega?”

“Yaha Golf Links mein is plush estate mein baithi hai”

“You are missing the plot. I don’t care for any of this” she tried to sound convincing “she prayed her face did not betray her” “I don’t want them to demolish the store”

“Toone store bachaane ke chakkar mein ghar de diya”

“He doesn’t even know about papa’s house”

“Ma phir jhooth bol rahi hai?”

“Ma ne kya kaha?” shocked

“She said she has to consult all the kids and their spouses”

“This is all a big misunderstanding, please go back to Bangalore Bhai” “I don’t want this getting any bigger than it already is”

“Iska matlab usne tujhe kehne ko kaha hai?”

“No……… they really don’t care about anyone except themselves” she shouted

“TO CHAL TU BHI”

She froze

She had fallen in love with pradyut. Selfish ruthless self serving robber baron Pradyut Munjal

Gaurav’s presence stopped her from breaking down completely

The cruelty of the realization hit her hard

She had fallen for her captor!

Unfortunately it isn’t happy realisation.

If Gaurav takes her wiht him, he has had it.

The guy is keeping his cool as he wants his lady love.

Gaurav would face the wrath if he forces Taaruni Unless Taaruni decides to walk for good since she doesn’t know how Pradyut feels and doesn’t want to be more vulnerable before a man who she presumes is into this just for a business deal.

But something has to happen for Pradyut to come out in open.

Waiting to see what Nisha has thought about this.

Will it be Pia or Gaurav or their own emotional state which will compel them to bare their heart.

Nisha, is there likelihood of few bonus updates?

Ooooo… yearning for each other, physically needy, and cold showers 😔

Pradyut is getting desperate. Poor them What’s his emotional state ? He casually mentions it’s family politics. But she is dismissive of that idea.

He thinks about her clothes and expresses care. She is not ready to let him in yet. She inadvertently depends his family and questioning herself.

Hope she recognize his unspoken commitment or Pradyut comes cleans with his intentions
