CHAPTER-11.
It's the rain that creates the magic..
It's the thunder that you hear in your heart..
Oh!The Innocent!Don't lose yourself in those dark eyes-
Cause it's all a game,and winning is just the Predator's art..
Astha breathed heavily,as she stared into those mysterious mesmerizing dark abyss..Her heart fluttering crazily..
Torrential rain created tingles on her skin along with the fire that this man inevitably seemed to ignite within her.
He pulled her closer up against him,and Astha shivered at the close contact with his hard body,and as if in response his hands snaked round her waist.
Astha was enthralled by those dark eyes..Curious beyond words at the mystery hidden behind them..What was it about this man that intrigued her so?
Rain dripped down the harsh lines of his face,his nostrils flared in anger..
"You crazy woman!What the hell are you doing out here?!"He hissed out angrily,lowering his head some more to her level..
Astha could not reply but be more intrigued and also shocked at the rough concern in his voice..
"I had been looking for you in the entire building and here you are!Out in the rain!!!What the hell are you playing at?!"
Astha blinked and parted her lips to reply..To tell him it was alright,she was alright..But again no sound came out..
She gasped out instead when he pulled her closer to himself,now completely crushed to his hard body..She could feel every muscle and sinew of his through the thin parting of their wet clothes stuck to their skin..
That was strange..!She should not be having those kind of thoughts now..He was angry..Infact he looked ready to kill..It was so odd to her,that the very same man who had only evoked hatred and anger from her,and also some bit of fear had her awed completely now..!
"You crazy,stupid woman!What do you have in place of your brains?!A man nearly-.."He did not finish the sentence,and before Astha could understand what he was doing,he had lowered himself and scooped her up in his arms..
"Shlok..!I mean Mr. Agnihotri!"
"Keep your mouth shut!Keep your bloody mouth shut before I-.."He stood still for a few seconds as he lowered his eyes meaningfully to her lips..
Instantly Astha felt she was zapped again.
His expression had darkened,and his eyes were now glittering with dark intent,that made Astha's heart flutter crazily..
Something low in her stomach knotted in tension,and by the time he had looked back into her eyes she was completely breathless.
Those eyes were so hypnotizing and the look in them always turned her into a warm puddle of need..
She felt his hands round her waist tighten a bit,as his breathing became harsher..He held her up and closer to his body..And as if they had a will of their own her arms snaked round his neck..
And slowly Shlok carried towards the resort building..His eyes locked with hers all the way..
Thunder loomed above but not louder than the ones roaring in both their hearts and bloodstream..The storm was getting rougher..It really was..Astha knew it in her heart..
Astha did not fight when he carried her into the room,and closed the door behind them..
He inserted the room key into the slot for power,and lamplight flooded the room in its golden glow..
They were both soaked to the skin,and yet as the cool air of the air conditioner touched her skin,Astha did not shiver..
But she did shiver when Shlok put her down,making her slide down his hard body..
A soft gasp escaped her lips,as his hand curved round her waist first,and then moved lower to cup her soft rounded bottom..But still she did not protest or fight back..
Astha did not understand why it suddenly felt right now,when it should not..!
His hot eyes caressed her each feature hungrily,as Astha's breathing escalated..Her fingers curled up into his shirt,holding on firmly to him,as her legs barely seemed to be supporting her..
His one hand moved to her shoulder,and he suddenly looked at her torn blouse..
Instantly his expression changed to one of fathomless rage..His turned to slits and glittered with the barely held back fury,his jaw tightened,his nostrils flared..
His hand tightened on her shoulder,and Astha could not help but wince in pain..
He noticed it too..And the moment he did,the hld on her relaxed instantly..His expression one of gentleness..
"I'm..I'm sorry Astha.i did not mean to hurt you.."He said huskily,and again Astha was taken aback by the change in him..
How could a man swing from one emotion to the other so fast..?
And how could a person look so much strong and handsome in every mood..?
A slight blush crossed her features as the thought came to her mind..Suddenly she felt shy,and looked away..
But the man,who was still a mystery to her,was not ready to let her do so.
"Look at me Astha.."His husky voice made her look up..
Suddenly his expression had again changed to one of hunger..His eyelids heavy,his look that of a man in need..And as he pulled her hips closer to his,Astha felt the hard evidence of his need nudging at her stomach through her saree..
Her eyes widened,and she blushed some more,but she could not look away..
It was strange that this man's hold did not make her skin crawl..His advances did not seem sick to her..Why was that?!
Shlok was not ready to let her get lost in her thoughts though..
As suddenly he lowered his head,and kissed her throat..
Astha gasped out in surprise,and then her nails dug deeper into his chest through his shirt,as his lips moved to her ear..
His warm moist breath tickled at her earlobes,and then she gasped out once again as he placed a small bite on her earlobe..Her stomach muscles knotted,as her pulse lept to its peak.
And before Astha could think any further,he softly suckled on her earlobe,licking at the place where he had just bit into..Throes after throes of hot waves of liquid desire poured through Astha's entire system,and yet the man went on suckling..
His hands moved to touch her soft stomach under her wet saree,and Astha shivered in response..And then his hand squeezed the soft skin of her waist,making her moan out..
When Shlok moved his lips to kiss along her neckline Astha was already a molten puddle of need and desire..
With closed eyes she waited for those hot lips to reach hers..Waiting for the volcano of need to erupt..
But he stopped when he reached the corner of her lips..
Astha nearly moaned out in frustration,when he licked at the corner of her lips,as if teasing her,but did not claim them..
And when Astha was about to pull his head down,he suddenly moved away..
Astha stared at him confused,and still half dazed with the passion he had aroused in her.
"This is not right..We should not be doing this..!I should not be doing this..!"He declared firmly.
"But-.."Astha was about to protest,when he moved further away.
"You are not in your senses Astha..!I should not have taken advantage of your vulnerable state..I am sorry Astha.."With these last husky words he whirled round and strode out of the room,closing the door shut tight behind him.
And a shocked Astha sat down on the carpeted floor,confused and unable to make sense of anything..She was not sure if she should be happy or sad..
Shlok Agnihotri sat in his room drinking champagne..
He had just opened the bottle for his private celebration..
For a moment he had thought he had lost it,but then he had stopped himself just in time..
Astha Kirloskar was now almost ready to yield to him..
But not yet..
He threw back his head and laughed out loud..A long gusty laughter of endless mirth..
If Astha or anuone else would have seen him just then,they would have got freaked out..Cause Shlok Agnihotri had a maniac glitter in his eyes..
Shlok finally stopped laughing,and with a sigh leaned back on the sofa back..
He had paid Sanjay Ahuja handsomely..Little did Astha Kirloskar know,it had all been Shlok Agnihotri's planning..He chuckled at the thought..
He had planned everything..Right from her group,her boss,the trip,the accidental room exchange,the act of saving her reputation,sending away her group members by force through Sanjay,and even Sanjay Ahuja's drunk attack on her..He was the mastermind behind every thing..
He needed her to lean onto him for support,and to trust him..Only him..
Sanjay Ahuja was an addicted gambler..And Shlok had saved the rascal's ass from his creditors..On the condition that he do as Shlok bid him..And then Shlok had played the game with Astha..
Shlok had been the saviour..He chuckled once again,taking another sip from the glass..
Suddenly Shlok's mind flashed the torn blouse,and his jaws went rigid in fury..His eyes glittered with rage..But the bas***d had crossed his limits..Shlok decided he would teach the bas***d a lesson..No one destroyed or tampered Shlok Agnihotri's goods..!And Astha was HIS!Only HIS!
As Shlok felt his eyelids getting heavy with sleep,he remembered her sexy form in that sheer green saree,and his body tightened in need..He would soon unsheathe that covering and she would be his completely..
The predator ALWAYS got his prey..ALWAYS..
Astha got dressed for her office,one day after she had returned from the tour..
Her heart racing for no reason..She wondered how she should act when she met him..
But little did Astha know that a surprise was waiting for her in the office...Good or bad,it was left to judgement..
