Tapping her feet vigorously under the table and squeezing the already dead rose which was kept on the table, she dialed his number for the 20th time now and again received the same message .. this number is switched off .. She was really p***** off now .. She had been waiting at the restaurant for the past half an hour and the nerve her husband had .. Urggh ' he had switched off his cell ..
How dare he .. that too today .. when it was such a special day for them .. She had reminded him the whole day ,so he wouldn't forget to be on time at the restaurant for their candle light dinner ..
Looking at the strangled rose , she knew if he came now instead of the rose .. it would be his head in her hand now ..
Every second impatiently she kept looking at the entrance or at her cell ..
Another thing which was nagging her was that she felt a pair of eyes boring into her back from a long time .. She hadn't turned back to see if her intuition was correct .. But she knew it was a woman's instinct .. she was sure someone was continuously staring at her .. and that was making her all the more fidgety ..
She shifted continuously on her seat .. putting a few strand of hair behind her ear only to pull it again back on her face and then behind the ear again .. adjusted her perfectly on place thin straps of her dress a little towards the end of the shoulders and then back to its place .. Every now and then uncrossed and then crossed her legs .. pulled her already short dress further as if it would help in hiding her already exposed thighs .. She was thankful for the summer jacket she had carried to hide her scandalously bare back ..
But she somehow could feel the eyes boring right into spine '
Suddenly her cell beeped .. "Can't make it jaan .. Sorry .. Love you "
On reading the message she forgot all her uneasiness and fiercely clutched the cell in her hand was about to throw it away ..
"Nah Nah .. an IPhone is much more reliable than whoever '"
She heard a deep husky male voice and her hand stopped in mid-air .. as he had left his sentence incomplete .. Without even glancing at him she knew he was the one who was gazing at her all the time ..
"I think you should think again before taking out your anger on it .. " the huskiness left .. and a silky smoothness appeared in his voice ..
Without waiting for her reply .. "Can I buy you a drink ?"
She pointed with her finger to the untouched diet coke which was on her table ..
She thought by just ignoring him .. he would get the hint that she was not interested ..
But .. he persisted .. "Oh .. that's not called a drink" his voice had the smirk and she could sense a smile appearing on his lips ..
"I am not thirsty " she said indifferently ..
"May be I could help you with the right drink to quench your thirst ?" he laughed a bit ..
Now annoyed with his perseverance .. she finally looked up to gaze at him and to tell him that she didn't need any help .. especially from men .. who were nothing but a**holes .. and to just get the hell out of here ..
But the minute she looked into those deep brown eyes she fell silent .. she felt her hand automatically holding on to the chair .. as if she thought she would fall off it any moment ..
The smile on his intelligent face .. the charm which he was oozing out was enough to even shame the devil ..
He was hot .. that was the only thing which her almost numb brain could process .. hot like her husband .. but she had totally forgotten about him as the man standing in front of her had conquered all her attention ..
He was like hot chocolate .. hot at the outset and smooth soothing as it glided thru the mouth and the throat and settled in ..
She felt like reaching out to him .. to touch him .. to feel him .. but she kept her hands under control ..
He bent forward and his mesmerizing eyes eyed her lips .. she could almost feel her lips parting .. "I take that as an Yes"
Then straightened himself and pulled the chair which was in front of her and sat on it confidently ..
He extended his hand coolly "You could call me " he paused and then arched his brow and gave a devilish grin .. "Hot Chocolate .. as your mind is suggesting "
This time she almost fell off her chair .. how did he read her mind ..
He was definitely the devil .. she could imagine the invisible horns also on his head ..
"I don't bite" he winked .. gesturing towards his extended hand ..
"Too Bad" suddenly as the words left her mouth she twitched her nose and wondered what the hell was she speaking .. was she flirting with him ..
His grin just widened indicating how much he was enjoying this conversation ..
"I am .. " she took his hand .. what's wrong .. why is it so hot .. is it me ..or the temperatures have suddenly shot up ..
Not to display the inner emotional mayhem on her face .. she managed a smile .. "You must have already thought of a name for me too .. after eyeing me for the past half an hour?" she said saucily ..
He let his head fall back and laughed ..
He looked so handsome .. She smiled looking at him ..
"Yes .. when I laid my eyes on you .. the only word I could think of was S*** .. but now I prefer Sassy as you have the spunk too " he said brazenly because he was sure it would lead to the colour rising on my heated cheeks ..
When they shook hands .. they both felt the jolt ' she could see it from his expression too ..
They both left the other's hand reluctantly ..
"I should tell you up front .. I just have 3 hours and then I need to be home "
"What do I have to do with that ? " she was so bewildered with his words..
"You know it " he said giving a sly smile ..
His boldness .. easy assurance .. self poise .. earned him a smile .. a smile which lit the entire place ..
He continued "From the moment you walked in .. I haven't been able to remove my eyes from you .. "
She stopped smiling and looked at him intently .. trying to read his eyes ..
"I am not a psycho killer or something .. I just wanted to help you .. " he laughed at her reaction ..
She blinked twice .. "Do you think I am some damsel in distress and you are my knight in shining armor ?"
Again he laughed .. "It looked a few moments back though .. you seemed to be disturbed about something "
"Yeah " she sighed '
"Your date didn't turn up .. " he asked ..
"To be specific .. my husband .. " she said as a matter of factly ..
"Yes .. husbands are morons .. " he said cheekily ..
"Are you too ?" she asked laughing at his joke ..
"Yes .. very much .. " he spoke smiling warmly ..
"So what are you doing here alone ?"
"Well sometimes I keep myself unavailable to her .. so that I can get to know " he paused again and looked in her eyes deeply .. "beautiful people closely " .. he gently placed his hand over hers .. and started caressing it .. she felt the heat transfused to her whole body .. she felt a warm feeling engulfing her .. and then directly residing at her core..
She wondered is this what is called giving in to your deeply hidden desires and fantasies and just not caring about the world ..
She just felt being swayed away along with him .. in an unknown world ..
Seeing her lost .. "Am I making you nervous ?" he asked .. giving a little pressure on her hand ..
"A bit " she said a little tensed ..
"I won't hurt you .. and I will never do anything which you don't want me to .. "
"Can I trust you ?"
"Yes" there was pure honesty with which he spoke ..
Looking deeply in his eyes .. "Its difficult to judge a book by the cover"
"Yes .. but why don't you try to read the book .. you never know .. you might want to keep it for a lifetime .. "
"What do you exactly want .."
"Do you want me say it in specific words ?"
She nodded .. her mind still affected by his hand ..
She felt his thumb making concentric circles on the back of her hand .. he gently took her hand kissed the back of her hand .. then brought the palm of her hand to his mouth and blew air .. all the while his eyes not leaving hers .. she felt a shiver run down her spine .. his mere touch was having a mind numbing effect on her ' she couldn't imagine what would happen if ..she shut her mind to the sinful thoughts ..
But his next action was sinful enough to get her mind racing towards her wild fantasies ..
He kissed her index finger and then without giving her time to react it in his mouth and started sucking it ..
She let out a moan feeling his hot saliva and the tongue which was playing with her finger but it was giving her sensations which gave her the insights of what he could do with his expertise ..
She gasped when he bit her finger slightly ..
"If you are not comfortable then I will leave right now .. "
He paused for her answer ..
But .. her eyes asked him to go on ..
"Else I want to take you to the 5 star suite I am booked in 2 blocks from here and " he again sucked her finger .. "and make love to you again and again and take you to a land of mindless pleasure that you would never forget .. "
She could see his eyes darkening with desire for her .. The charming man was left long behind .. now the man who was sitting in front of her just had one aim .. was to devour her and take her with the storm which was brewing between them ..
She could feel every cell of her body alive with his words .. she was sure she would explode when he touched her .. her body getting warm with that feeling ..
She needed him .. she needed him just now ..
"So what are you waiting for ?" she asked flirtatiously arching her eyebrow ..
He blinked just to register her response and then grabbed her hand and rushed out of the restaurant ..

As she knocked on her house door tired after her highly euphoric secret rendezvous .. she was welcomed by her mother-in-law ..
"Kria .. tum aa gayi .. badi der kar di .. "
"Haan Mummy ji .. Neha ke saath baat karte karte time ka pata hi nahi chala "
"Thik hai .. chalo sab coffee pi rahe hain garden mein .. freshen up ho ke aa jao .. "
"Jee"
"Reyaansh kab aayega .. "
Before she could say anything .. "Tum ne pukara aur hum chale aaye .. " he came and hugged his mother ..
"Uff .. tumhe bhi der ho gayi aaj "
"Haan ek client meeting thi .. "
"So khana khaya na tumne ..?" she asked ..
"Actually meeting itni interesting thi na .. ki bhul hi gaya .. "
"Kria beta .. tumne ?"
"Na .. nahi maine bhi nahi khaya " she stammered .. her cheeks going a bit red ..
"Ok .. main ek kaam karti hun .. khana tumhare room mein bhijwati hun .. kha lena .. tum dono bahut thake lag rahe ho .. agar mann kare toh coffee pine aajana .. "
"Jee Mummy ji "

As Kria entered her room .. Rey came in behind her and wrapped his hands around her waist .. and closed the door with his leg '
"Tum thak gayi ?" he asked softly .. resting his chin on her shoulder ..
She let her head fall back ..
"Hmm "
"Was I hard on you , jaan ?"
"No .. " she blushed .. and turned and buried her face in his chest ..
"Hmm .. who is blushing so much .. "
She smiled ..
"I can't believe my coy kitten was a wild tigress .." he laughed and kissed her head ..
"So you agree that I was bold ?" she looked up from his chest a bit and asked ..
"Yes .. jaan .. I know you are bold when we are alone .. " he smirked ..
She punched him on his chest '
"Seriously .. when we are in the bedroom you are wild .. otherwise you are this typical subtle daughter 'in- law " he laughed as she pushed him and went and sat on the bed ..
He came and pushed her slightly on the bed .. and then took her in his arms .. " I love you jaan for this only .. "
"I love you too .. "
"Yes .. I agree hands down .. your idea about One night stand for our 6 monthly marriage anniversary was the best .. "
She immediately perked up and smiled ..
"You know when you didn't pick up the phone .. I thought you won't come "
He laughed at her silly doubt .. Was he ever gonna miss being with his wife that too alone ..
"So were you surprised when you saw me suddenly .. "
"Actually yes .. I had kind of imagined what we would do .. but I never thought we would flirt and all that " she again blushed ..
He lovingly kissed her forehead ..
"So next month its your turn to come up with some idea .. " she said cheerfully ..
"Hmm .. " he arched his eyebrow and eyed her "Do you want something wild ?"
Her eyes immediately lowered .. even though she was excited she couldn't let him see it ..
"You got it .. I will come up with some wild idea .. don't worry " and he took her lips to convey what he wanted ..
"Chachu .. Chachi " came the numerous calls and knocks on their door which led them to break their kiss ..
They both parted and went to open the door ..
"Chachu .. Chachi .. akele akele aap kya kar rahen hain .. Mumma ,Papa , Dadi ,Dada , Bade Chachu , Badi Chachi , bhaiya , didi ..sab aapka wait kar rahe hain garden mein .."
"Aap Kria chachi ko hamare saath khelne bhejte hi nahi .. "
Kria giggled ..
Rey sighed .. and picked his 4 year old niece "Haan .. hum abhi aate hain .. " and kissed her cheeks ..
He glared at Kria .. Nobody from his huge and loving joint family gave him time to spend with his 6m old bride .. they all wanted to spend time with his lovely wife .. He obviously had to devise ways and means to find time for them ..
He smiled as he thought of his secret monthly marriage anniversary celebrations with Kria ..
