Astha was in a constant state of awareness for the rest of the day. By four thirty she wanted to leave. She called Suresh and he came with her chauffeur in fifteen minutes. She went out after he checked the entrance area. She sat in the back of the black Audi that was always at her disposal.
The car was going away from the route to the residence. "Suresh, where are we going?" Astha was surprised at this unexpected turn.
"Mr Agnihotri will join us. We are heading to his office." Suresh was his usual formal self. Nothing escaped his notice when it came to Shlok. Astha actually wondered if Suresh ate and slept at all. She gave a wry grin at her own thoughts and concentrated outside the window. So she was going to meet Shlok earlier than expected. She sighed inwardly in pleasure.
Her body already began throbbing in places in anticipation of meeting her Shlok. She was still thinking about their conversation that morning. So he wanted her to voice out her love for him? She will but not before knowing what's in his heart. She smiled at all that he was doing for her.
She did feel a little stifled with this extra security, but she willingly went through all this for her life with Shlok. She would do anything, give up anything to be with him. Not having a normal family life in her existence, sometimes Astha felt overwhelmed with all the attention and care she received from Shlok.
Sometimes she felt she wasn't worthy of being the other half of such a successful, handsome, and more importantly, such a good man. The huge stylish building came in to view all too quickly. Suresh got out first as usual and led her inside. She went up to the elevator while Suresh went in another direction.
The elevator opened at the fortieth floor. She could already hear Shlok snapping orders at someone. His PA was hovering by the door. Shlok spoke something to her in a taut voice. As Astha entered, Shlok put the phone down and gave her a slow smile. The door closed behind them as his PA left, leaving them alone in the cabin.
"Finally you're here." Shlok pulled Astha for a tight hug. She just hugged him back, content to feel him at last. Even a few hours seemed too much for her to be without him. Astha felt scared at her constant craving for this beautiful man. Shlok pulled back from her slightly and spoke in a soft voice. "So shall we leave?"
Astha nodded and snaked her hand around his arm. They left together like that towards the elevator. He asked his PA to inform Suresh to be ready with the car as they left. As soon as they entered the elevator, Shlok looked into her eyes. A weird tension filled the elevator. Her breathing slightly altered and his immediately darkened. He was perceptible to every single change happening within her.
Shlok moved forward and stopped the elevator. They were stuck between the thirtieth and thiry first floor. Astha's eyes widened at his action. She looked at him even as he reached out to her arms. Shlok neatly pulled her for a scorching kiss. Astha gasped at the electric current that zoomed through her body. She moaned and caught his hair.
"Shh.." Shlok sushed her and kissed her eyes, her ears n moved to her throat. Astha arched her throat as he nipped her base of her throat. Her breath caught and her hands went automatically to his jacket. He shrugged it off within seconds. Astha went to his buttons next. His aftershave and his unique scent was already weakening her knees.
Shlok flicked her kurti buttons and licked her exposed skin. His movements were fast and jerky. Shlok's hands automatically went to her already stiff nipples. He slowly brushed her, making her jerk and gasp. "So Ms Kirloskar, you were saying something." He eyes were laughing at her.
"What?" Astha was totally incoherent. She was waiting for his touch, his mouth. Shlok did laugh softly then.
"You were supposed to tell me something. Have you forgotten?" He bent down and toungue snaked out to her bosom. Astha closed her eyes and leaned back against the lift. "Shlok, you're killing me."
"Do you want to tell me something?"
"No." Astha was adamant. She didn't want to give in despite her hunger filled body.
"No?" His hand went to her waist and slight stroked her belly button. Astha sucked in a shaky breath. She turned her face sideways and closed her eyes tight.
"No." It was a mere whisper, her tone already weakening. Shlok's hand unzipped her jeans, fusing his body on hers at the same instant. She felt him through his trousers. Dear god, were they actually doing this in his office, in broad daylight?
He pulled her jeans and her lingerie in one go. Opening his zipper, he rubbed his hard on against her centre. Astha was helpless, already trembling in the shocking proximity. He refused to ease her pain. Shlok simply moved against her and bit her earlobe.
Astha was lost in the mindless desire he was creating. She almost screamed in frustration. He refused to enter her and ease the pain. Shlok's finger lightly brushed her centre. His husky murmur reached her ears through the fog of desire. "Tell me Astha, tell me you love me."
"I love you." She gasped at last. Shlok kissed her hard and lifted her to his level. Her back was leaning against the elevator wall, and he entered in a single movement. "Yes" Astha sighed.
"We don't have time. Make it fast." His raspy voice fueled her desire. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he moved against her. He quickly increased the pace. As she reached her zenith, Shlok took her lips, swallowing her moan.
Astha came down to reality with a thud as he gently eased her away from him. She flushed beet red when she realized what happened. Shlok grinned at her expression.
"Another first Ms Kirloskar?"
Astha was too shocked to respond. Shlok kissed her hard one last time. "Fix yourself fast." With that, he turned around and straightened himself. Astha quickly fastened her clothes with a trembling hand. She still couldn't come to terms with what happened. Astha looked at Shlok. What was it that made her forget the place, time everything? How did this man capture her so completely?
Astha bit her lip and brushed her hair with her fingers. She only hoped she didn't have the just f**ked look. At least Shlok didn't look like it. But then he was always the cool billionaire, she thought to herself.
As the elevator opened, Suresh was waiting for them with a worried face. Shlok took her hand in his. He looked at Suresh as he spoke "The elevator seemed to have bit of a problem." With that smooth lie, he strode forward with a blushing Astha, who was unable to look at both of them in the eye.
