Chapter-2
Ashutosh stared hungrily at the treat lying right in front of his eyes... hot and spicy ..just the way he liked it...
what should he do with her today? swallow her like a starving man or nibble her in a smooth and sophisticated way... what would she like? this woman was way too unpredictable... her taste changed everyday... one day wild and the other day slow and sensual...she showed new sides of her personality every time they were intimate... one day she would be a seductress...a feral cat on some other day..there were also times when she behaved like a victorian teenager...all prim and proper...asking him to woo her ...
They have been together so many times..and yet each time he had a different experience... the only common link between all those sessions were the participants and the extremely pleasurable end result.
"What are you staring at? are you looking at me for the first time Mr.Mathur?" she raised her eyebrows and looked at him in the eye... there was a feral gleam in them...
The tigress mode is on- Ashutosh remarked to himself... surrendering is the best option.
"Do you like what you see" She came even closer
Ashutosh nodded
"Have I rendered you speechless or is your throat dry?"
"The gown looks fabulous on you...it complements..."
"Shh... your mouth is parched isn't it...I think that I will be useful here"
Ashutosh's mouth was possessed by a demanding and lusty vixen...
after a long and wild kiss, he gained a breather...
"Tired? already?"
"Are you trying to provoke me lady? have you forgotten what you unleash when you tease me?"
"Is there a beat in here? let me help you unleash it" ...
within a minute Ashutosh was relieved of his belt.
Ashutosh responded by moving his hands skilfully over her erogenous zone and made her moan in delight...
The rest of their clothing were dispensed in a frenzy...
The sequence of events that followed left both Adam and Eve screaming in pleasure...((Please don't laugh at this part..I tried my best to make it sound good but it hasn't😆)
Ashutosh cuddled his lady and bit her ear lobes
"Minx"
"Did you call me Minx?"
"Yes"
"And what do you call her?"
"Whom?"
"Is there a woman other than me and Pallavi in your life?"
"Nidhi... I have no nick names for Pallavi.. though I have been tempted to call her sister frigidaire at times"
"Do something about her please... she is becoming unbearably nosy"
"Now what did she do darling?"
"The same stuff...shaadi kyun nahi kar rahi ho...DB pareshaan hai...chacha pareshaan hai...and assorted tripe"
"So what did you say?"
"What should I say? I just evaded... what am I supposed to do if people are worried? worrying is in their fate..if they don't worry about me then they will find something else to fret about... but just tame Pallavi..keep her busy..so that she doesn't have time to worry about me"
"Keep her busy? how? this way? " Ashutosh asked cheekily...
"Your wish..I am not stopping you..she is your wife..isn't she?" Nidhi added scornfully
He so loved it when she was angry - it made her all the more tempting! Resisting the urge to swallow all her anger within him in the most enjoyable way, he replied:
Oh..my baby is angry...honey, I am not interested in keeping her busy in any manner... being around her is such a headache... getting close to her is a chore... if you want her to be busy then bribe her college principal and ask him to request her to take extra classes for her hapless students"
Nidhi was amused ...
Ashutosh suddenly looked at the clock..."Nidhi it is 7 P.M already..time to go home..."
"This room is so comfortable ...and with you in this room, it almost feels like home"
"We must thank Armaan for letting us use it...now hurry up..."
"Yeah.. Hey, don't forget those chocolates I got for Anika!"
Ashutosh beamed at her - she did care a lot for Anika. They both gave each other a lingering kiss before they parted ways
Ashutosh was exasperated!! He always thought she was a modern and practical girl. Is it too much to expect to find a woman who not let her emotions run away with her? In bed she was no doubt hot! But in other matters, she had always appeared coldblooded to him as he himself was! And that suited him perfectly. Now her irrational insistence brought back blurred memories of typical women from some age-rusted b&w Hindi movie! Why was she behaving in this stupid fashion, was beyond him to comprehend.
"Nidhi... why are you being unreasonable"
"Am I being unreasonable Ashu?... you are saying this?"
"Nidhi..whatever happened between us happend with your consent... plus I never promised to marry you"
"But I am pregnant "
"Terminate it...it was unplanned after all"
"How can you be so heartless Ashu? ...this is our child"
"Don't try to bind me into sentiments Nidhi...this isn't my first child"
"So, it means nothing to you? but I want to keep it... it is my first child... I know that it is a result of contraceptive failure..but it is mine nonetheless..I love it...give it a chance to be born Ashu... you will love it as much as you love Ani...she was unplanned too ..wasn't she..?"
"Oh please spare me this I love my child' crap.
Nidhi flared up, "CRAP!" You call it crap?"
One look at his cold face though, brought her back to her senses. This was not the way to have things her way with this man, who stood so unmoved before her. She swallowed her anger, but could not control the vehemence in her voice as she said,
"What is the problem Ashu? why can't we get married..it is not as if you love Pallavi..she will keep quiet if we get married... legal problem will arise only if she complains to the police.. I know she won't...nor will she object to you marrying me when I am pregnant with your child. She is too concerned with family honour to object to it...she will sacrifice her love or whatever it is that you people share ...you were married to a woman you didn't desire... but you loved the child that was born out of the loveless marriage ...and here we are, we have burning passion in our relationship..and yet you say you don't want the child?..I am certain that you will love this child once it is born.. Anika will get a sibling...I will keep you and Ani happy..I promise..just marry me..
Ashutosh gives Nidhi a look which said " why are you deluding yourself"
"The problem isn't about just about Pallavi... marrying you will ruin my reputation..the ethical standing of my business will go for a toss...people will hesitate to do business with me...you know how hard I worked to build my business..all that effort will go waste in a moment...my rivals will pounce on me, they will go around telling- "Ashutosh Mathur married his wife's cousin after impregnating her...jab ghar mein hi aisa khar sakta hai toh business mein naa jaane kya kya karega ..and all that...I can't obtain a divorce before the baby is born... even if I do get a divorce at this instant, our marriage will still be scandalous... my carefully built reputation will be irreparably damaged
And what about my kid?... Pallavi is an adult, she is mature..jhel legi sab kuch... parr Anika toh abhi chotti hai.. she will not understand what is going around her..and she will hurt by people's thoughtless comments... I thought you loved Ani?...forget Ani..do you think even this child will have a normal childhood if she is born in such circumstances"
Nidhi sat on the sofa...her head was reeling...Ashutosh offered her a drink of water.
Ashutosh's reaction was on expected lines.. he had made the rules of romance quite clear in the beginning... he had told her that he won't marry her...the outside world would never know about their real relationship..he would remain her cousin's husband in the eyes of the world.
Theirs was more of a case of - I am attracted to you- you are attracted to me..let us do something about it kind of relationship which matured into something more serious... now the thought of separation pained both of them immensely. Though their relationship wasn't incestuous, yet it wasn't one which society would accept easily..Pallavi wasn't Nidhi's sibling..she was her cousin..but it did make Ashutosh and Nidhi jeeja- saali... though people do joke about Jeeja-saali relationship, society doesn't accept it if it takes romantic hues...
Why should the modern society accept it? Breaking another woman's house and snatching her husband is a crime...and the crime is compounded when the woman's own kin becomes the other woman... Nidhi is the other woman..and she will only earn the society's scorn.. she will be crucified alongside Ashutosh for their transgression...
The saga of their lust would become the subject of many a gossip...people would sneer at them...ladies would pour scorn on her for wrecking her sister's life... nobody would let her live in peace...
Ashutosh was right.. going out of the house would be difficult, let alone doing business...she couldn't accuse him of being a coward..both of the had agreed that this wasn't going to be a long term relationship. What began as lust and passion, slowly transformed into something else for her... she couldn't say whether the same was true for Ashutosh or not... but as of now he let pragmatism rule...
"So you won't marry me?"
"I thought you know my answer"
"What do you expect me to do?"
"Terminate the pregnancy and return to normal life"
"What do you mean by normal life? How can I kill my child and life as if nothing has happened? "
"What do you want to do? become a single mother? sling mud on me and show the whole world what a firm believer in pro-life values you are ? ha!!" Ashutosh let out a scornful laugh.
"I don't want to tarnish your reputation...but I don't want to abort the baby.. isn't there a way out?..please think...this is your child too Ashu... please think it through for its sake"
"For its sake? Do you seriously believe that the rights of an unborn child is greater than the wellbeing of the living?"
"This child is also "living".. it may be unborn but it is alive... I love it... it is my flesh..but more so because it is your child... I want to keep this child... I won't be able to survive otherwise..." Nidhi broke out in uncontrollable sobs.
"What do you suggest now Ashu?"
"Well...if you want to keep the child, then there is only one way out... you have to marry Armaan"
