Chapter 5
"Then who asked you to watch horror movie?" Dev asked.
"I didn't know it was scary." Radhika replied.
"Don't worry, honey. I'll sleep with you." Purab said with a wide grin.
Radhika looked back and grinned as she replied "Thank you."
"Like hell!" Dev said angrily.
"I will sleep with you." Dev said.
"I said I will sleep with her."
"Now I want."
"Why don't you both sleep with me."
"Good idea, honey. Ain't you the smartest one here." Purab said in a flirty tone as he wrapped his arm on her shoulder.
Dev slapped his hand away and asked "you have any more blankets, we won't fit in this bed."
"I do have, I will bring them. Let's---" Purab started but stopped while looking at Dev's scowl.
"Forget it. I'll go alone." He said and left.
"Why are you always angry with him? He is a nice human." Radhika asked.
"you wouldn't understand human nature because you're not a human."
"But I do know the difference between good or bad, and I know he is a very good man."
Dev sighed and replied "I know honey you know and he is a very good man, it's just..how will I explain when you're too innocent."
"Show it then."
Dev looked at her shockingly, is she serious? Show her lovemaking!
If you think about it, it isn't a bad idea, he couldn't even control himself anymore, he desired her the moment he saw her that day.
Dev groaned inwardly as his desire sparked again, arousing him completely. There's no woman who had aroused him this much, she is truly a magical creature that had had him spell bounded.
But he wouldn't take her, wouldn't take advantage of her innocence, even though she isn't a human, she is still a woman.
"I can't even show it but I will show just a bit so you won't be too innocent." Dev replied.
He tenderly held her shoulders and brought his face closer to her own but stopped in mere centimeters, debating with him, will he be able to control himself?
Out of sudden, involuntarily his lips touched her soft lips and he forgot his surroundings, he pressured them more and licked her lower lip, stroking it with his tongue slowly yet sensually. He sucked them as if he was sucking the juice out of her lips yet he didn't got satisfied. His soft and tender kiss turned feverish, demanding and scorching, he brushed his hand on her neckline going up to her soft cheek. He caressed his fingers gently on her hair then pulled her closer as he embraced her from her waist.
Radhika was confused yet she was enjoying herself, whatever he was doing was making her forget everything yet feel everything. She felt different, her body was burning, her stomach was in unexplainable commotion, her heart was drumming against her chest, her limbs were like liquid, her mind dazed, but in spite all this feelings, she was getting unknown pleasure. She doesn't want him to stop even though she is having trouble breathing, who need to breath, she doesn't, she just want him.
"Now that's hypocrisy, you ask me, actually order me to keep my hands off her and now you're kissing her, you rascal!" Purab shouted furiously.
Dev released her instantly but gripped her shoulder so she wouldn't fall as cloudy minded she is, she wouldn't notice it.
He glanced at Purab and blushed embarrassedly, he knew he wouldn't be able to control himself, no one could, she tasted like nectar in his tongue, he wished more of her, want more of her.
"I---" He started but got interrupted.
"Do it again." He heard her say.
Dev choked and looked at her shockingly, she was staring at his lips, her eyes intense and filled with passion plus little bit of confusion.
"Ra---" Her lips silenced him as she locked them with her own.
"Damn it!" He heard Purab say and slamming the door shut before he got lost in her spell.
His ardor hardened as he deepened his kiss, he shoved his tongue inside her mouth, producing a gasp from her. He coaxed her not responding tongue, urging it and guiding it to play in rhythm with his own until he released her lips.
He tilted his head to look at her, she was flushed red, her lips swollen and red, and her chocolate brown eyes dark and intense, she is aroused completely, he concluded.
"What did you do?" She asked him.
"It's called kissing, did you like it?" He asked in a husky murmur as he gently rubbed her cheek with his thumb.
"Why I feel different? I never felt like this before."
"It does make you feel different, honey."
She smiled sweetly and replied "I loved it although I'm confused. There is something I want but I don't know what it is. I feel like burning but it's not hot. My stomach is feeling a bit I don't understand what I'm feeling there. I don't know why but I feel you can give me what I want."
Dev burst into chuckle; she is the first girl to say she is sexually aroused in a very different way.
"It's called healthy sexual desire."
"So what do I want? I want something; I don't know what it is?"
Dev grinned and replied "Since your aroused state is because of me, it is me who can satisfy you."
"How?"
"By lovemaking."
"Then satisfy me."
Isn't it like music to his ears? Concentrate Dev!
"I wish I could but I won't, honey. It is like taking advantage of you."
"But I want lovemaking."
Her mere words unleashed his controlled desires, she does want him, it will not be like taking advantage of her when she want him. But she want him just to satisfy her desire, her curiosity, it is not because of love, not because he is special for her, not because he is the man in her life.
"Dev?"
He looked at her and smiled gently, cupped her face and replied "No honey, lovemaking is something very special. It is not only union of two bodies but two souls too. It should be done with special person in your life, the one you love, the one with whom you wish to spend your entire life. I don't think I am that special yet, you understand?"
She grinned and replied "If you think it is the right thing to do, I'll be fine."
"Good girl. Shall we sleep now?"
"Where's Purab?"
"I'll talk to him, you make the bed."
She bobbed her head while he left the room.

"What are you angry at?" Dev asked from Purab who was sitting on the sofa while watching television.
"I am not. Why would I? You should be happy you got her." He grumbled without sparing a glance at him.
"I didn't."
Purab looked at him and asked "You mean nothing happened between you two?"
"Of course we kissed but it is our matter and even if nothing has happened between us, I wouldn't have let you get her. She is too innocent for people like you and me, I don't want anyone taking advantage of her innocence."
"Who says I will take advantage of her? I may flirt with her but taking advantage of woman is not my thing. When she kissed you, I have accepted and respected her decision. But if she will want me someday I will gladly have her. I will only listen to her decision not yours. I will try my best to make her mine."
"Why do you want her?"
Purab smiled sadly and replied "Because she reminds me of my deceased wife, the woman I love the most."
"I..I'm sorry."
Purab didn't say anything.
"Is it you're wife clothes which Radhika use?"
He nodded.
"Let's get to sleep, she must've made the bed now." Dev said after awkward silence between them.
"Let's go." Purab said and switched off the tv.
As soon as they entered the room, they found her curled in a ball, asleep looking like an innocent baby.
"She is truly an angel." Purab said tenderly.
"True." Dev replied, his soft gaze on her, and then added sternly "Keep yourself away from her."
"Like hell!" Purab replied and lay beside her, wrapped his arm around her waist.
Dev shoved his arm away as he laid on her other side with a glare at him.
Purab chuckled and closed his eyes while Dev did the same.
***
"You don't have much clothes Radhika, we will buy them too" Purab said sweetly to her and then changed his tone to unfriendly one while speaking with Dev "you stop using my clothes, get your own too."
They had just entered the crowded city market, since they were short of grocery, they planned for shopping in the city market. Radhika was too fascinated and was busy watching the human world and its culture, she found myriad of curious and interesting things.
"As if I like using your filthy clothes, I don't have money you know."
"Just what the hell are you doing with nothing with you? Did you both ran away from home? Or abandoned?"
"It is none of your business."
"Whatever. Let's just buy."
"Is this me?" Radhika asked astonishingly as she looked at her reflection on the mirror.
"It is you, darling." Purab replied.
"How did I get inside it?" She asked.
Purab frowned and asked "What do you mean?"
"Radhika, you aren't inside it, it's a mirror, it shows your reflection like when we look at the water, we see our face. Let's go." Dev said and pulled her away.
Her curious mind is gonna give her trouble someday, Dev said in his mind.
There is really something wrong with her, Purab said in his mind.
"You like this?" Dev said as he showed her a red floral top while she nodded with a smile.
Purab's eyes fell on a black short dress embodied in golden and silver designs, he instantly bought it without their knowledge.
***
All three of them slumped back on the sofa, exhausted from shopping and walking in spite that they fully enjoyed the trip. After so long, Purab had enjoyed his day, he looked at Dev and Radhika talking about the day, who are these guys? Moreover who is she?
He wishes to get his answer, he will one day. But for now, they are his great friends, the ones he will treasure the most.
