I've come to you
Giving up all my pride
I've run to you
I'm no longer me
Unless I have you too
I'm lost in the high seas
Without you
I'm ready to beg
If that's what you want me to
I can go to any lengths
Just to be with you
So have mercy on this
Your permanent slave
Show me a sign,
And I'll be brave
Or lead me to my grave
Just keep me near
That's all I ever crave
Shaan smiled as he fondled his Martini; I deserve it.
He had done well that day. Fortunately his preparations and extensive research had paid off. He had been among the few whose detailed designs and ideas had gone down well with the company wise men and had fitted their requirements well except for a few adjustments here and there which he could easily bring about. He had been asked to stay back for some more time, whereas several others had been sent away. It was a time to celebrate, but his wife unfortunately wasn't with him to share in his success. She hadn't even picked up the phone...
Darling excuse me, but with you not there, how am I supposed to console myself? Just two drinks..no more.
May I?
He looked up startled to hear a low soft voice whisper in his ear..
He stared dumbstruck at the vision which stood in front of him, a very seductive vision; wearing a black see through blouse under which he could see the outlines of a deep necked white silk chemise and a black pencil skirt which rose modestly just above a pair of very neat knees; a picture at once alluring and mysterious.
His mouth went dry as he ran a shaky hand through his hair ruffling it.
But yes, of course you may. Please be my guest.
Thanks! She said gratefully daintily taking the seat across from him and placed her black and white clutch on the side of the table. I was getting worried that I may have to leave, all the men here are either drunk or ready to paw me to bits. You can't trust anybody nowadays!
Is that right? Well men are idiots, and I don't particularly blame them. It's hard to behave decent when one is in the presence of such unimaginable loveliness.
But you are putting on quite a good act, I must laud you for your efforts. She said arching a well defined eyebrow; it looked like she was used to praise.
He laughed; Yes an act it is, but temporary though. After a couple of drinks I won't be able to vouch for myself anymore.
So you mean that I must watch out. She said trying to appear surprised.
Yes, that's exactly what I meant. He wasn't shy.
He watched fascinated as a slow flush crept over her cheeks, It somehow reminded him of his Angel...No! Don't spoil it darling! He shook his head to get rid of the image.
She bit her lower lip looking uncomfortable under his intent gaze, and glanced at his hand that rested on the table cloth.
Does that ring indicate that you are not entirely free? She said trying to change the topic.
Shaan looked absently at the simple band that Khanak had placed on his finger during their wedding reception; Hmmm I guess so, I won't deny it. Does it bother you?
Umm not exactly. Because I too don't like hiding the truth myself; she waved her left hand adorned with the shining diamond encrusted platinum band in front of his face. If you want to do anything do it openly, Bindaas! Or don't do it at all!
I agree absolutely..looks like we are going to get along very well together. Shaan smiled enjoying this little tete a tete.
By the way, is your husband an old grouch? Why are you here all by yourself? Doesn't he like to keep an eye on his most beautiful wife?
She laughed very amused; No he is not all that! Actually he is kind of cute and is head over heels in love with me..but he is out of town! And I hate being left alone...So that's why I'm here looking for some company. I'm taking a chance, a wild chance! She had a throaty voice.
Ahh! He might kill me and kill you too in the bargain! He has the habit of acting first and asking questions later! He can get particularly jealous even if a man looks at me in a certain way. A most dangerous and possessive man! She smiled barely touching her drink to her moist lips.
Is that so? Shaan remembered how he felt the same about Khanak.; then I wouldn't like to cross his path for sure.
There's a very few chances of that happening! What about you? You didn't tell me about your wife! What kind of an idiot is she to leave a handsome specimen like you all by yourself?
Shaan grinned; Khanak an idiot, he should tell her. She's way too trusting! Though she does get jealous at times.. poor thing, she believes whatever I tell her, I have her under my spell! He smile was confident though he was thinking otherwise; if Khanak walks in right now, I would be singing a different tune!
Haa! Great! Two lonely souls pitched into a dangerous intrigue...how exciting! Care to dance? She said jumping up as the band struck up a tune.
Sure! I am in the mood to celebrate!
He took her hand and led her to the dance floor and they swung together as if they were a couple who hadn't just met. The slow sensuous music was perfect for closeness and they danced, their bodies barely touching, but the heat was enough to burn a hole in the dance floor.
He fumbled with the card key..trying to fit it in the lock of his room. The corridor was empty except for his gorgeous companion who was looking around anxiously.
What are you worried about?
I can't trust him, he could have planted spies!
Shove him to hell! It's just me and you right now!
He pulled her inside and pinned her against the wall with his body, bringing his face close to hers as they stared into each other's eyes in the dimly lit room.
Whatever you say; she answered back challenging him, unafraid.
Shaan, his pulse going haywire, had only one thing on his mind but he still wanted to give this seductress a choice.
Do you really want to go all the way with me, what if your husband chances in upon us? He said his voice shaking with desire.
I, I really don't care, right now I want what you have in mind and that's all, come heaven or high water! She whispered her breath ragged, her eyes on his mouth.
Then what are we waiting for? He grunted roughly as he pushed his mouth down on hers, and she yielded with a pleasurable sigh. Her lips soft, smooth, tasting of strawberries. He sucked her lower lip and let his mouth wander down her chin and silky smooth throat..trying to quench a thirst that had built up over the past three days. If his wife couldn't fulfill it, then why not someone else?
She responded in kind, as if she had been starved of love for ages. Her body yielding wantonly to this wild unrelenting desire; she wanted to live just for the moment..
But not as smooth or soft as your skin...he said climbing in after her.
He looked up anxiously and was relieved to see a smile on her face. Their breaths coming hard and fast and the heat becoming close to unbearable, he pulled himself up to her and asked a plain blunt question;
Later:
Darling?!!
Really?! May I know what were these things that couldn't be cleared over the phone?!
She counted on her fingers; One... the case of the BORROWED secretary..which I couldn't trust you enough to speak the truth about and the second one..uh..I needed to taste that upma for myself!
And for those two simple reasons, I seriously had begun to wonder about my sanity!
That was the entire idea behind this exercise, husband! You thought that only you possessed the license to drive me mad?! She said sliding down holding his face in her hands.
I don't mind going crazy at all if my doctor offers herself as medicine; she can even lock me up in an asylum, I won't raise a finger in protest. He whispered his warm breath tickling her mouth; pulling her body snugly into his.
She wrapped her arms around his back, resting her head on his shoulder; The only place that you'd be locked up in is the asylum of your Angel's heart. When are you going to come back? I can't live without you anymore!
I'd come back right away if I could, but looks like my designs are on the shortlist. Does that mean that you are not here to stay for the rest of the week? He asked suddenly agitated.
Sorry I can't though there is nothing else I would wish to do.
Damn! And here I was building castles in the air! He turned away faking anger.
Please! Don't be angry, or.. or your baby will cry! She said anxiously leaning over him stroking his jaw with her thumb.
He stared back at her sweet, innocent face, he couldn't comprehend that anybody could love somebody as much as she loved him;
God!! You really know how to push my buttons don't you?! He whispered pulling her head down.
She blushed lowering her eyes; I guess I've had an excellent tutor.
Then this lesson calls for extra credit!!!
Next am The Taj Lobby:
Shaan whispered in Khanak's ear as she kept a lookout for her ride to the airport. She didn't want him to come..she couldn't handle it.
So how did you like the South Indian Sampler?
It was yummm...probably more so since you did the serving!
It was the least I could do for what you gave me last night! By the way...you were awesome!
Please stop it! We may get cited for inappropriate behavior in a public place!
I don't care! They can sample my hormones...you'll be my defense!
Shaan...!!! She giggled, then blushed; they were already being targeted by several disapproving stares.
Hmmm...! So this is the window seat lady! Very nice!
Shaan who had been busy amusing himself with his wife's obvious disquiet, turned to see his irrepressible nemesis staring at them with a sly smile on her white face.
Khanak turned around and smiled vaguely at her.
What does she mean Shaan?
It's a looong and boring story..that you don't have to bother your pretty head with.
He pulled her into a corner, thankful that the nosey irritant had the courtesy to leave them alone.
Now what was I saying? Ha yes!! After last night's experience I think I should take my secretary out more often!! What say..do you agree, my Green Eyed Mistress?
Don't even go there Shaan! You have given me enough pain as it is! A muffled sob escaped her mouth as she buried her face in his chest clutching the lapels of his jacket.
Hey! I was just having some lighthearted fun my love! Shhh! C'mon! I will never mention it again! You can beat me black and blue if you wish..just be sure to spare my face! He laughed hugging her.
I just can't take it anymore, I can't take it...
He heard her mumbling softly before her voice trailed off and she went slack in his arms.
Close your eyes
Give me your hand..darling
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Or is this burning
An eternal Flame
