He held her wrists back in one hand, pinioning her. With
her back to the wall and his body dangerously close, she felt his ragged breath
stoke her cheeks. His free hand flicked the top buttons of her satin shirt, as
she turned away eyes closed to not watch him plunder her modesty. She cooed as
he nuzzled her neck and ran up his lips over the edge of her jaw and then over
to the curve of her lips. It was only time she would moan from an exquisite
sense of pleasure when his steady hand would touch her now revealed waist, but
he was delaying his act, she gathered, when he thrust his bare chest on hers.
Good, she thought and perhaps that was the window of opportunity she needed.
There were other family members who were to be greeted too and it just wouldn't
reflect well on her part as the civilized daughter-in-law, if she was stranded
with him by her own desires. And so she broke free from the clutch of his hand
and nudged his chest gently, while he continued to kiss and nibble on her lower
lip.
"I have to go Maan" she spoke in a faint murmur,
her voice drunk with the haze he was inducing in her, her hand sliding down
from the thin sheer of sweat on his torso.
He thought he heard her mutter, although it was beyond
comprehending now that his hand climbed up from her hip to waist. Words never
made sense in his world, but this was far from it, when he saw her convulse
with the same need as him. His thumb moving in a straight line landed to brush
the underside of her feminine curves. But right before he could take the
passionate game any notch higher, she bucked and slid to her side farther from
him. Coyness creeping up her mouth, it extended her lips into a pleading smile
"Please Maan...not now" She closed her eyes as she leaned against the
chalk-white bathroom door; the purr she ended it with, conspicuously revealing
the contention she faced with her appeal.
"Wait" he spoke softly once he saw her slip out
of the room "We have to talk" His eyes dulled the same instant while
her own narrowed.
"I have to go to office for a production move
tomorrow for 5 hours" It was his turn to close his eyes, only this was the
result of a spurt of guilt that showed up in him.
"But why?" She interjected anxiously right when
she remembered him remarking that he had no office commitments over the
weekend.
"Surely there must be something else that can be
done...I mean...we can ask Josh" She added with the same hurry as her mind
quickly counted the hours she would get to be with him, if he couldn't back
out.
"Actually" He paused wondering how this was
going to play out "I took this upon myself"
He made an instinctive move towards her, but she raised
her hand and stepped back. She couldn't help marvel at the choice of his words,
when he had indeed done it in a moment of rush...impulse to get back at her. Only
that she wanted it to be phrased 'I had done it for myself'.
"Because you wanted eye for an eye" She added
and he heard her voice quiver in a mix of emotion.
"All because I pushed for a change of plans to come
over Saturday instead of Thursday. And for wanting to help Rishabh...to give
him company in his charter and for having kept you out of that plan" Her
eyes glowered at him one last time, before she swiftly turned to walk out the
bedroom "So much for wanting to surprise you..." she had carried on
in a painful whisper.
He had seen the ire blend with disappointment in her eyes.
His anger was his undoing many a time, he resented. He braced the smooth
curve of the marble sink counter for support for he had turned into one weak,
lopsided man by letting requital rule his better senses. In those sullen
moments, he realized, it was he who needed to pay up now. Winning her over was
surely a difficult task for the night, he thought, but he was decisive about
making every second with her count. "She deserves it" he said aloud,
more for it to sink inside that muddy head of his, that had started keeping
scores over their petty squabbles.
Quite a short one. Will get to the rest tomorrow. Thank you all for supporting me during the bouts of blocks I go through often. It truly does wonders when you guys write up ever so faithfully...
