THE SHADOW'S OBSESSION

The Official Meet

RYAN's POV

"Bhai?" Shaurya called. His voice rang loudly across the hall, as I got myself out of the library just in time. FUCK!

"Aa Raha hu." I quickly stormed off towards the lift before he came looking for me.

When he spotted me, I knew I was in trouble because he would be now putting me under the pressure of at least hundreds of questions... Sometimes, I feel he shouldn't have been a techno-savy, rather, could have been some kind of journalist or gossip guru. (Yes, he's quite the opposite to the way the world perceives nerds)

SHAURYA: "Kaha bhai... Where were you? Ek minute bhi akela nahi chor sakta kya mei apko?"
ME: "I was just exploring around while you were gone,"
SHAURYA: "Dora, the explorer, is that you!!?"he exclaimed.
ME: "Shut up !! Let's go, or do you have plans to be late?"
SHAURYA: "OH PLEASEEEE!! In case bhul gaye ho aap.. Mai apko dhundh raha tha na hi aap mujhe.. aap damsel in distress the.. mai tha knight with shining armor or something.. like that. "
I scoffed at his words, "You joking, right?.. you sure? you're some kind of techno-nerdy and not some cliche writer?"
But before he could answer, I said, "Enough!! Now let's go"... The time has come... To officially meet my Little Rose!!

As we got inside the elevator and pressed the button to the topmost floor, I was freaking out. Me?? Ryan Fucking Malhotra was freaking out!! Yeah, I was. Because, this is going to be the first time I would finally see her without having to hide from her (Technically speaking, the second time, because I couldn't help myself but had to go to the library after her.) Honestly, that wasn't even my plan.. I really went near the library to take a call, when I heard the clicking sound of her heels.. damn those fuckable heels!!

DAMN IT!! I controlled myself for one freaking whole year... I have always watched her from shadow, never tried to come infront of her.. I admired every little glimpse I got because I knew she was anything more than extraordinary. My extraordinary person. Even if, I was distracted by the call, nothing could ever distract me from her presence. It's safe to say that I am weirdly obsessed with her and this obsession is only growing as time went by, if I was honest with myself.

Today was one such day!! Today that one touch, that one single touch almost killed me..it made me lose control.. And I don't do this. I never lose control. Ever.
But right now? I'm about to do something that wasn't
part of the plan, and there's no way I can stop, I should have very well known things changes when it comes to her. But somehow I managed, because snapping out of control is dangerous. That was a witness of the fact that when she charged towards me I hold her hands and pinned her to the wall. But when I pinned her, the first thing I noticed was the fucking pendant I gave her when she was in the hospital. I never cared to look if she was wearing it or not, because the sane part of my brain knew she wouldn't, she wouldn't want to keep anything that made her remember the accident but the insane part of me wished she did. It wished she kept the pendant close to her and today when I saw it around her neck.. I aImost lost it. Was she as insane as I was?

But before I could think anything, I was assaulted by her perfume.. fucking fruity fresh! I so wanted to lick her neck, I craved to suck her throat and mark her as mine. I definitely wanted to wrap my hand around her throat, her pulse under my finger and check how fast it went when I bite that plump lips of hers that were begging to be bitten. It was a miracle in disguise that I hadn't pressed my lips against hers in that hallway and stolen a taste of her glossy lips. And from the way her breast was pressed against my chest, the way her beautiful curves moulded around my body, I was nearly closing everything and also, it made me painfully rock hard..
Had I allowed my fingers to wrap and dug around her waist and pulled her body against mine close, any degree of control I'd possessed would have been shredded.

DAMN IT!! I WAS GENUINELY THIS CLOSE TO LOSING EVERYTHING AND THE WORST PART IS THAT I NOW FUCKING REALISE HOW EASY IT IS TO SCREW UP MY PLAN IF SHE'S IN MY VICINITY!!

BUT NOW, COULD IT KEEP ME AWAY FROM HER? NO!
COULD I FUCKING WAIT MORE? NO FUCK! NO!

But I have to if I don't want my little rose to be afraid of me.... But she will always feel me, as she always has!
"Bhai!!" Shaurya's voice pulled me out of my thoughts about my little rose, as the gates to the elevator opened, and my eyes automatically zoned at the woman, who is the bane of my existence.
" Maya Agarwal "

For a moment, I stilled, as soon as the gates of the elevator opened. I was so captivated by her innocent face, her simplicity and her beautiful soulful eyes, I did not know how breathe for a hot second. But then, I saw. something in her eyes, the way she froze the moment she laid her eyes on me. It was *recognition*. OF-FUCKING-COURSE SHE DID!!

"Welcome sir, please come through." Someone's voice snapped me out from my thoughts. Followed by her professor's voice, "Maya, go ahead"

Maya took some careful steps and stopped directly in front of me, trying to maintain eye contact with me. I thought she was scared and I would see fear in her but to my surprise fear didn't scent the air. It was something just as primal but far more intriguing. May be I'm reading more between the lines, but it was: Desire. Need. There is something so deliciously edible about the way she looks at me, God, if looks could get you hard, these would be one of those. I equally stared at her and then a bead of sweat trickled down her throat and disappeared into the shadow of her blouse. STOP! When I lifted my gaze,I watch, fascinated just to look at her soft lips as they move as she peers at me with confusion but kept her lips sealed. *Note: My little rose, is a good girl*

Then she said, "Neeche jukiye". I was so lost in her sweet voice, I hardly recalled what she said, so I quickly replied, "Haan?"

MAYA: "Neeche jhukiye please"
ME: "Oh, sorry, yes!"

I slide close enough so she could apply the Tika on my forehead, and as I lowered down my head I felt her shaky breath on me, followed by her smell just like before, hazing me from all rational thoughts just like before.

Slightly, after narrowing her eyes at me for the last time, she moved to Shaurya to do the same. Is it too early to say that I don't want her to touch anyone else, even if it is just for some mundane task like applying the Tika. I wanted to push Shaurya and take his place so she would touch me again, just like I touched her before. So that she knows that I'm the only one she will ever be touching after today. But I am also aware of the reality. If it happened again, I would loose it again, and this time, my resistance is not going to survive.

GOD HELP MY PLAN!
