Destined to a Gangster

25 - The Morning After

Raghav cursed Vaasu as he helped Pallavi into bed. Finally she calmed down from the drunken mess he had loaded into the elevator. He placed the duvet over her and took a few steps back to place a distance between them. Not that any distance he placed would help his state. He was in a desperate need of a cold shower all thanks to the sleeping woman in front of him.

When he was sure she was sleeping he dashed towards the shower and turned the knob to the coldest water possible. It was under the cold stream that he allowed himself to reflect on the images that will haunt his mind from here onwards. He closed his eyes relived those flashes.

—Pallavi in the elevator wrapping her arms around his neck pulling him down for a kiss. Her not being satisfied with the chaste kiss her placed on her lips. So she pulled against his collar to bring his head down for a hot and steamy kiss.

—Pallavi entering the room on wobbly legs asking him if he was going to have his way with her

—Pallavi not accepting his response and pulling him towards the bed. Then pushing him on the bed so that she could sit on his lap

—The glint in her eyes when he suggested she change her clothes. The way she stood up and walked away from him in her drunken wobble.

—The determination in her eyes as she turned around and dropped her dress. There she was standing in front of him in her under garments looking far more breathtaking than he imagined. For an instant he wanted to grab her, throw her on the bed and make her his. Unfortunately, Pallavi was not in her senses to make this decision. Yet he couldn't take his eyes off of her.

—Pallavi standing in front of him both seducing and challenging him as she took deliberate steps towards him

—Her smirk as she bent her head and kissed him. He couldn't help himself and pulled her down on his lap kissing her back desperately. All the thoughts of restrain went out of his mind as he wrapped his hands around her naked waist. It was when he moved to her neck that he noticed she wasn't holding him anymore. He pulled back from her and saw that unbelievably she fell asleep.

Under the shower he opened his eyes and stared at the tiles on the wall. Hoping the image of Pallavi would leave his mind. After 15 minutes of mindless staring he turned the shower off and wrapped a towel. Out of the bathroom he grabbed the bag that was delivered by the staff and changed into his night clothes wondering how he was going to spend the night on the same bed. Making a decision to sleep far away from temptation he pulled back the covers and laid down.

As he had figured out from before, nothing was going to go his way tonight. It was as if she felt his presence she moved towards him and placed a hand on his chest. Just as he resolved to deal with her touch the vixen moved close to his side and wrapped her legs with his. She curved herself around him like a snake. He groaned, wishing for strength to survive the night. Slowly he closed his eyes hoping for the darkness to take him under, luckily within 10 minutes his prayers were answered.

Pallavi opened her eyes and quickly shut them again as the morning light hurt her eyes. She groaned her annoyance and pulled the blanket to her face.  It was then she realized something was different. She opened her eyes a crack at first expecting to see her room. When she saw the new surroundings she quickly sat up. Unfortunately, her sudden movement cause a spell of dizziness. Gingerly she load back down on the bed and recalled the events of last night. Everything was clearly until she started drinking, after her second drink all she could gather are snippets of being on the casino floor. She had no memory of coming to this room. Just as she was about to get up again when the suite door opened.
