While the other part of him was at all times hers,
Will they remain incomplete or unite once and forever?
He plunged his tongue deep into her mouth and she moulded hers to his, groaning at the pressure of his lips. Her mind gone, momentarily, blank as her body reacted on its on accord, her fingers ruffling through his hair forcing the kiss to grow deeper. It was only till a few seconds had passed did she realized what she was doing. Her hands moved to push the intruder away, her anger mounting. Yet before she could react, the pressure on her lips decreased and a hot breath brushed her ear.
"Baneeeeee…. help me"
The words momentarily froze her till she felt the gentle brush of his tongue on her neck, his teeth nipping softly at the delicate flesh.
"I don't want to get married to Meera. Papa is forcing me to, he thinks it high time I did" he whispered frantically. "I told papa I wasn't ready and that I wanted to remain single but he refused to listen." his lips move to her ear as he continued. "So I told papa that I was already engaged. He was euphoric….I told him that you and I were getting married" his voice trailed guiltily.
His brief explanation hit her like a ton of bricks, and she reeled, his hands moving protectively to her back pulling her closer, his lips playing havoc on her neck. It was a few moments till she found her voice, fighting the gentle tingling on her neck, where his lips had been seconds ago.
"Jai... You idiot, how did you get stuck in this mess? I don't want to play fool in your games, if Uday uncle asks whether this is true or false then I shall speak the truth" She felt his grip tightened, and a chuckle vibrate from his lips.
"You will help me. How many times have I pulled you out of trouble? Remember Akshay...?" he hinted bitterly. "You said you owed me a big time…well now's your chance to pay me back! Be mine for a month and play the role of my wife. After that I'll somehow workout something and say our shaddi will never work to last for a lifetime. I'll play broken hearted and then escape to the US."
She smiled wryly already seeing loop holes in her best friends plan. "It would never work. And besides how would you convince uncle that we are engaged, when there's no wring in the bargain? where is the ring?"
To her amusement he pulled out a small object, and gently pushed it onto her index finger, a wicked smile forming on his amused lips. She was too dense to notice, as he did so, the curious party crowd surrounding them. He had trapped her and he knew it. "It's only a month I'm asking you, Bani. Please do this for me sweetheart. You know you owe me." he whispered intimately in her ear, drawing shivers through her spine.
Bani stared at the strange ornament on her finger, weighing the situation, knowing realistically that there was no escape from the man in front of her. She owed Jai with her life. How many times had he helped her out of her troublesome situations, once even getting brutally beaten up? She winced at the memory, her fingers curling unconsciously around his jacket.
The pretence would only be a month long and knowing Jai he would keep to his promise, she thought soothingly. But when she looked up, she eyed him wearily, seeing the genuine plea in his stormy eyes…. her heart melted and she finally smiled, musing silently at his clever trap. She was standing in a room filled with questioning eyes, all observing their intimacy, one being her "father in law". What a clever b*stard she muttered, knowing now she had no choice.
"Okay. You win. But there will be some rules on my part in this plan of yours. Any objection?" she enquired seriously, unsure of what she has gotten herself into.
He laughed nodding, and kissed her forehead, brushing aside his curiosity as to why she had kissed him so desperately earlier on.
Could it be that Jai Walia would play his magic on Bani too…was she not as immune as he thought?
Here is part two my dahling....happy reading😊
Je t'aime...je t'aime avec toute mon cœur parce que sans toi j'ai seul.
He downs his drink, trying to forget that a few moments ago to the world he was a bachelor. He now no longer could have late night affairs with beautiful models…no more late night fun, at least not for a month.
"Jai you do know that you are an ass….right?" a soft voice murmured at his side, snapping him out of his reverie "how could you just leave me there all alone…the women were eating me up! I am not a doll…I will not be played with!!"
He laughs mockingly "and Mrs.Walia couldn't handle them? You couldn't handle being a doll?"
"Jaiiii…."
"Haan….what is it" he muses, brushing away a wisp of hair from her cheek. His touch is affectionate and she eyes him cautiously.
"We need to lay down some rules…."
He looks at her lazily, turning his attention back to party "Don't worry I wont take advantage of you" he spits out "I won't do anything you don't want me to do"
His careless tone hurts her "fine" she murmurs "but no more public kissing, that was a one off and you caught me off guard"
He chuckles and turns his gaze back towards her delicate frame, his voice challenging " Papa still isn't fully convince that this shaddi is real, even though you handled him pretty well. We will have to demonstrate once in a while that our supposed love is true".
Bani chokes at his words "what…we…kisses…we…Jai, please no" she whispers, fear in her eyes.
He notes her sudden discomfort, irritation burning his senses " yes …I know that to you I may not be the best kisser as your Akshay was but you have no choice. We made a deal."
His tone is curt and his words harsh, she feels stung. Her mouth opens to retort but the ominous glare in his eyes tells her not to.
At midnight the guests leave and Bani retires to her room, having to prepare for a press conference the following day. It would soon be splattered across every newspaper that she was about to wed the most wanted bachelor in India. Cursing her fate she shrugs out of her sari and into her black chiffon night dress. At least here behind close doors she was safe from Jai. He was right about the kisses, but they were her weakness, they were toxic to her health and left her with a numb craving. She never understood why. He had first kissed her at a New Years Eve party when she was 17 and from then onwards had always found excuses to continue doing so like her birthday and she soon found out that his kisses were an addiction.
Jai stared at the door in front of him, contemplating whether to go in or not. He had to talk to her, before the press meet, as tomorrow there would be no time till lunch. Tapping on the door lightly he waits but gets no response so opens it. He finds her curled up on the bed, in a sexy black nighty that could bring any many to his knees. She obviously has no idea what she was wearing; it was inviting him to touch. Smirking at her get up he leant in the doorway waiting for her to realize his presence. He counts to five and then hears a murderous screams and string of abuses.
"Nice….very nice my dear Mrs.Walia, is that any way to greet your husband to be"
"Oh shut up Jai, what are you doing here? You obviously didn't come here for no reason!"
"I came here to kiss you goodnight sweerheart" he muses lying, but notices the sudden foreboding looks in her eyes. His heart pines, "why are you so scared of me baneeeee….I won't hurt you."
He takes slow deliberate steps towards her but she doesn't move standing her ground determined to believe that she is not intimidated by him.
His hot breath fans her face, and her eyes close, dread pulsing through her veins... She hears him whisper almost painfully as if her action is hurting him
"Damn it…I won't hurt you….I promise".
In timid confidence , she moves her hands to his cheek. A low groan emanates from his lips; and he leans down to kiss her with fierce tenderness, shuddering uncontrollably at her innocent ardour. Her jasmine perfume intoxicates his mind of all rational thought. Bani lost in a haze of yearning invites his tongue deep into her mouth, allowing his lips to shape and fit theirs to one another. His hands slide to her back, tightening their hold and her br*asts crush against his masculine chest.
He had gone in to apologize for his harsh words earlier on…but ended up doing something else. He had only lied when he had said he had come to kiss her…
From the creak in the doorway, Uday Walia observed his son. His eyes narrow, but he walks away unsure as to what to believe. His son is no saint, something was definitely up!
