"Swear on me you didn't lie" gaping at her lying next to him on their bed, Vihaan spoke sleepily.
It was past seven in the morning and yet he did not want to leave the bed. He was sleepy and wanted just to relax and talk to her while taking a nap.Which was happening, luckily."Lie about what?" Without opening her eyes, Shana responded.She was deep in her sleep.And yet her heart felt the warmth and melody of his sleepy voice.She loved it. It was damn sexy and sweet at the same time.And maybe that's why she even responded so she could hear more of his sleepy voice.Turning himself fully toward her, he adjusted the pillow and now looking completely at her sleepy form, answered " About my touch.""What about it?" Feigning ignorance to the butterfly that just erupted in her stomach, she calmly questioned.Knowing very well what was itSitting in the wooden chair on the lawn of the Rathore mansion, enjoying and feeling the cool breeze of air, listening to the chirping of birds, and watching the movements of trees and leaves, Shana was engrossed in her thoughts.It was five in the morning and the yellowish sky was indicating the sunrise.She had been sitting since four in the morning, sleep far away from her.All over the night she wanted to call Vihaan and ask about his well-being.It had been a day since she had heard his voice.But the stubborn side of her was against it.It wanted more time.But her heart was desperate for it.And she realised she had been addicted to him and his voice.Was not it the first step of falling for someone?Or maybe second or third."Ughh" coming out of her thoughts, she stood
Shana slept like never.She was so relieved and relaxed after merely texting with him, she was no more anxious or sad about anything.Or did not feel like an empty vessel.Sleeping till eight in the morning, she had woken up hurriedly knowing she had been late for the office.She was the leader of all the projects in the absence of Vihaan and that required her presence even more."Sorry guys" entering the meeting room in white pants paired with a maroon crop, messy bun and diamond earrings, she took her seat.Placing the phone on the table, taking the file placed on the table, she turned the pages of it to read and turning her attention to one of the employees of the collaborated team, enquired"What's the progress?"The team consisted of eleven people, six from her team and five from Vihaan's company.They had signed a contract
The moon was shining brighter than usual as if singing the birthday song to Shana joyfully.But Shana was not in the state to know about it.After waiting for Riya's reply and having dinner with other members of the Rathore family, she could only sleep.She was too tired to wait anymore.And she was too anxious about Riya.Sleeping was the only way for her to let her mind not think much.And she had slept like a sleeping beauty as if she was the happiest and most fulfilled person in the world.She did not hear or felt the vibration of her phone or the continuous sound of the messages as the clock strike twelve at the midnight.The one person she wanted to wish for was not with her at the moment.Maybe she wanted Vihaan to present so much, she unconsciously found his voice murmuring against her ear"Happy Birthday, w
"Have you heard the news?" Standing beside her in the elevator, Ms kriti questioned Shana."About what?" busy on her phone, reading Riya's message" Happy Birthday, bestyy" for the nth time, asking herself why she had not answered the question she had asked Riya a day before, she enquired Ms kriti.She waited for her to reply but when she did not receive any, she lifted her eyes from her phone to see Ms kriti looking at her worriedly."What happened, Kriti?" She spoke immediately.Ms kriti hesitated for a second, and then spoke " I heard Aniket's wife talking to higher authorities for his release."And that spoiled her mood for the day.She was about to ask more when the elevator opened.And there he was, standing in his full glory."Hello again, Wifey" entering the elevator, Vihaan stood beside her on the right.Taken aback, Shana spoke, " You said you won't come to the office today.""Seems I can't live an hour without my wife" flirting with her, Vihaan looked into her eyes.Either i
The rest of the journey was smooth.For Vihaan.For Shana, it was full of anxiety and tingles all over her body.She could even feel the butterflies in her stomach whenever Vihaan would look at her.Or whenever she would look at him and her body would melt in desires.She wanted him madly.She would feel the sensation down there simply by looking at his broad shoulders or his not-too-long silky hair, his stubble beard or his intense eyes or his lips she wanted to bite and have a taste of.Fuck! She was so much into him physically.True to his words, Vihaan did not leave a single chance to not glance or stare at her.Be it at the red light stop or the tax booth."Finally!" Shana took a breath of relief when she sighted Rathore Mansion and was out of the car the minute Vihaan parked it.
"Is it necessary?" standing at a far distance, noticing Vihaan helping Kritika, the model of the organisation with her shoots, Shana fumingly asked Vansh.She had been watching them for half an hour and all she could see was Vihaan touching kritika and letting her touch him in the process."You know bro want everything perfect." standing beside her, Vansh spoke.Or rather tried to defend his brother."So? Does perfection require touching?" Snapped Shana.And looked angrily at Vihaan.Vansh did not speak. He knew very well the feeling of watching your love with someone else.Distracting himself immediately as if to be away from unwanted feelings, he cleared his throat and looked at the shoot.Unaware of anything happening in the background, Vihaan was busy directing the shoot.The shoot was for an ongoing project an
"I am busy, kritika" Sounding ruder than ever, Vihaan did not take his eyes off Shana.He did not hear what Kritika said. His attention was solely on Shana.Shana wanted to run, from his gaze and from the situation her mood swings had created.Her menstrual cycle was coming up and she knew all the things happening to her were her emotions.But how was she going to explain it to him?Shana heard Kritika's footsteps fading away but the utter silence in Vihaan's office was more dangerous.Has no one noticed their leader was nowhere present on the set?Thinking about all the things she can come for not to look blank in front of the raging Vihaan, she did not dare meet his eyes."Never ever" pushing her to the wall, he lifted her cheeks with a little bit of roughness and continued while staring into her eyes" bring the word again."
"Shana...Shana.." running behind the angry Shana, in the corridor to Shana's room, Vansh spoke hurriedly "At least listen to me once".Shana was in no mood."Don't even dare to talk to me" Turning back swiftly, she screamed with anger.One thing she loathed most was the betrayal.And that too from her people? It was intolerable.Rushing toward her room, she ignored her phone which was continuously vibrating from the messages.She did not want to talk to anyone.She was so done with all her people who were doing nothing more than breaking her trust."Shana..please..listen to me once" entering her room, vansh found her sitting on the bed, her breaths short and raging.She was in danger mode.Vansh did not speak a word. He did not wish to fuel the fire.Sitting beside her while ma
Lying on their bed, she watched him, removing the tie, and unbuttoning his shirt, and then suddenly he stopped.The action did not go unnoticed, and immediately, Shana looked at him.And found him looking at her."Always Look at me," he demanded as soon as their eyes met."I am already looking at only you," Shana replied emphasising on 'you', and her eyes reached to his manhood again.Shana took a long breath as soon as his hands touched his belt.All the curiosity, anxiety, and excitement made their way, and she could feel the sweating make the way.She had touched and had felt him, but now she was going to see it.As if he could sense, he spoke," Are you sure?" Even though his heart was praying, " Please don't say 'No'"."Are you going to torture me in slow motion, " Shana was restless now."Ha
"What?" Vihaan almost stammered.And he broke the kiss, not because he wanted to, though. He looked at her, shock written all over his face.Did he just hear Shana correctly?Shana hesitated. Was Vihaan not ready anymore for her?But the kiss did not seem like it. It had the same passion."Nothing," and she blurts out with disappointment, lacing her voice."Shana...please repeat what you said?" Vihaan just wanted to hear her say once more.He had wanted to hear it for such a long time that he was not sure he was even hearing it.Lifting her chin, making her eyes meet his, Vihaan spoke again," Please, just once."His pleading but love-loaded eyes and his thumping heart answered the one Shana was searching for, and she whispered the magic words again," Love me, Vihaan."Tick tick tick
Ascending the stairs, Shana knew it was a turning night in her life.Vihaan had never left a party like it ever.And she was confused.No way, Vihaan had left the party simply because saaransh had danced with her.And the voice of Vihaan rang in her mind, " One touch of another man on your skin and trust me, you will never forget this night.""He was not serious about it." speaking to herself, she tried calming herself.She was so engrossed she hardly heard Vansh's footsteps beside her."Good night, beautifool" Stopping at the first floor, Vansh looked at her.Shana smiled tight lips, her eyes on the second floor, her heart beating fast, in excitement and desire.Waving goodbye to Vansh, she hurriedly ascended the stairs and halted in front of the door to their bedroom.Calming her running heart,
Everything was going well. Since the arrival of Vihaan, Shana could hardly feel any gaze. And the party was going great. As it was for only closed ones, it hardly had thirty to forty people. The food, the music, the aura, everything was perfect. "I think it will be a girl" Sipping the soft drink, Shana spoke, her eyes filled with love looking at Avni's belly. She was standing in the middle of the party hall with Vansh, Avni and Anubhav. "I think it would be a boy" Vansh spoke next. "Come on! I can tell you it will be a girl" Caressing her belly, Avni glared at Vansh. "Ofcourse, even I want a girl" Joining Avni, Anubhav continued" Imagine having a little image of you. That would be so beautiful" and he was dreamy now. Shana was enjoying t
Shana was sitting in front of the dressing table, her pinkish-round face glowing.Not with any makeup, but with shyness, excitement and nervousness.Her greenish silk saree with a backless blouse and the emerald necklace adoring her petite and creamy neck were not making her less prettier.And she realised people saying green is her colour were not liars.She was glad to choose green, for she wanted to look pretty. The feminine in her was urging her to look beautiful, for herself and for Vihaan.She knew something had changed, maybe not just something but everything.She now wanted to wear gorgeous sarees and dresses and wanted to look mesmerizing every time.And her expectations of herself were so much, she could not even decide which lipstick to apply.Her heart as usual wanted red, but her eyes and mind were urging her to go to pink.And vihaan lying on the bed, his hands supporting his head was not helpful at all.Instead, like always he was increasing her heartbeats and regrets.
Shana might not have forgiven him, but she would answer him ,whenever he would ask her anything.But that was it.Days passed and it was one fine day.Avni and anubhav have visited them and all except Vihaan were sitting in the lobby, enjoying the sunset and cool Breeze while enjoying the coffee.Vihaan was as usual in his office, he had some important meetings with the international client.But he had promised Avni he would be with them as soon as the meeting will be over.Sipping the coffee while gossiping , Avni spoke up, gaining everyone's attention on her"I have something to share with you."And she had everyone's attention.She looked nervously at everyone and then her gaze halted at Anubhav who was sitting beside her on the sofa.Out of her habit, Shana was noticing her body language and she noticed Avni's p
Two days passed and it was already Sunday.Neither Shana nor Vihaan had any plans, but the rest of the Rathores had already departed to one of their relatives.Since it was one of her favourites, Shana took her time to wake up.She had no obligation to wake up early and to rush to the office.She had inner plans though.She wanted to wake up late, have a bath, have brunch and then she wanted to dedicate her time to writing.It was killing her to know she had not written a single line for a long time.Waking up at ten in the morning, she was out of her room after half an hour.She had not taken a bath yet, she was craving for some strong coffee.Still in her sleep, she descended the stairs to reach Vansh's floor and the thought of having a glimpse of him made her walk toward his room.Knocking, sh
Good morning" Trying to meet her eyes, Vihaan spoke while sitting at the breakfast table.It was not exactly morning; it was ten in the morning, and they both were late for the office.Or, Vihaan was deliberately late as he was waiting for Shana to at least look at him.He was completely sober, even if he was not, he was not going to show it.The thought of the night was a nightmare for him and he did not want to ruin the present day.But it looked like it had.He felt Shana ignoring him completely, and once done with the breakfast, he followed her back to his room.Closing the door, he walked toward Shana and lightly grabbing her elbow, made her turn towards him."Please look at me" Lifting her chin with his index finger; he was like a lost puppy.Shana did not glance at him."I am sorry, Shana"
Tick tick tick....The second hand of the wall clock was increasing her heartbeat with every strike and she was becoming more anxious.Now she was concerned about him. It might have been normal for her to pretend to be okay in front of the members of the family when they had asked about Vihaan and she had replied" He will be late."But, now when she was alone, and time was passing at a fast pace, she was worried.All she wanted was for him to be in front of her.Lurching up from the bed, she stood up and picking the phone from the table, she had just dialled his number when she heard the bell ringing outside the door of the room.And the next second, she heard the knob of the door turning.She had never been so relieved as she was a the moment and she almost ran forward to hug him.But, then she stopped and all the anxiousness, worri
