THE MISTRESS ✔️ (COMPLETED)

54~ Once Bitten Twice Shy

Monica was feeling irritated with Jhanvi snoring beside her. Many times, she thought of kicking her out of the room. She turned her head and found Jhanvi sprawled next to her. She was lying on her stomach and snoring happily. Monica propped herself on her elbow and glared at her. Then, she noticed light coming from the living room. She smiled recollecting Eshaan telling Jhanvi that he will be working late. Cautiously, she got up from bed and tip-toed towards the cupboard. Carefully, she opened the drawer and took out a pill. She smirked looking at it and turned back. She looked at Jhanvi sleeping soundly then she turned and closed the drawer. Careful to not wake her up she walked out of the room.

She peeped into the living room and found Eshaan sitting at the dining table. Dressed in V-neck electric blue Tee and maroon shorts. He was engrossed in his work. Monica smirked and straightened. She fixed the neckline of her dress revealing a little more of her cleavage. Coolly, she walked into the living room. Eshaan looked up at her briefly before looking back into his laptop. Monica rolled her eyes. She walked up to him.

'You are still up?' She asked holding the back of the chair. Eshaan sighed.

'So, are you?' He replied not looking at her. Monica isn't liking that he wasn't giving her any attention.

Eshaan looked up when she pulled a chair. He made a face when she sat beside him. She shrugged.

'Your friend is snoring so much.' She replied placing her elbows on the table. Eshaan shook his head and looked down at the laptop. Monica placed her chin on her palm and looked at Eshaan. As she admired him she realized she had been missing him. Just looking at him, Monica found herself in the past. The intimate time they had spent together. She shivered little wanting to feel his touch again.

Eshaan looked up and she fixed her expressions. Clearing her throat, she leaned back in the chair.

'Wine?' She asked. Eshaan was about to refuse but Monica extended her hand and held his wrist. She felt him stiffen.

'For old time sake.' She said.

Eshaan shook his head and moved his hand back, - 'No, I have work-'

'Please.' Monica said softly, closing the flap of the laptop. Eshaan sighed.

'Okay. But just one drink.'

'You wait for me in the room I will come with the wine. Your favorite one.' She said happily. Eshaan frowned.

'Why in the room?' He eyed her suspiciously. Monica smiled.

'It is more comfortable.' She said simply.

Eshaan wanted to refuse but thought otherwise. He just wanted to have drinks with her and be done with, so he could focus on his work. Else she will keep annoying him. He pushed back the chair and silently walked into the room. Monica smiled watching him go.

She walked towards the wine cabinet and took out his favorite bottle of wine. She looked at the bottle and smiled. Still, she remembered his favorite. Then, she picked out two glasses and poured some wine, and dropped two ice-cubes in each glass. She separated his glass and spiked his drink. She watched the fizz and smiled.

'Sorry, Eshaan.' She shrugged picking up the glass.

**************************

She walked into the room and found Eshaan sitting at the edge of the bed. His palms pressed tightly on the mattress. She cleared her throat and he looked up. She smiled at him and seductively walked towards him. She sat beside him and passed the glass. He took it. Monica leaned back and placed one leg over the other. Her night robe slid up. She smiled noticing Eshaan's gaze slip to her thighs.

'Cheers.' She said. Eshaan shook his head and looked up at her. She raised her glass.

'Only one drink.' He reminded her. Monica blinked innocently and nodded. He kept eyeing her and so she pinched her throat to make him believe. Eshaan looked down at his glass.

Once bitten twice shy

Eshaan looked at Monica, she brought the glass to her parted mouth. He shifted and purposefully accidentally hit her elbow with his.

'****' Monica's drink slipped on her collarbone.

'Oh, sorry, sorry.' Eshaan apologized. She looked down at her cleavage and then looked back at him. She pressed her lips tightly.

'Go wash it.' He made an apologetic face. Angrily, she got up and handed the glass to him. Eshaan took the glass and watched her go. She entered the bathroom and locked the door. He looked at their glasses.

A moment later, she walked out of the bathroom.

'All cool?' He asked. Monica nodded and sat beside him. Eshaan handed her the glass she had given him. Monica took the glass and looked down. But before she noticed the glass is full Eshaan interrupted her.

'You are looking very beautiful, Monica.' He said. Monica looked up at him, she was surprised he complimented her.

'Really?' She blinked at him. Eshaan nodded and pinched his throat to assure her. Monica smiled lowering her gaze briefly and then looked back at him.

'You notice me?' She asked looking hopefully at him. Eshaan smiled and extended his hand. She held her breath as he took her hand in his.

'You are such a beautiful woman; how can someone not notice you.' He winked at her. Monica smiled and shifted placing one leg over the other.

'What has happened to you? Suddenly so many compliments?' She asked and smirked at him. Eshaan smiled and shifted closer. Monica kept looking at him.

'You said na, for old time sakes.' He replied. Monica nodded. She was disappointed when he lets go of her hand.

'Cheers.' He raised his glass. Monica smiled raising her glass as well.

'Cheers.' She said happily. They clicked their glasses together. Eshaan watched her gulping down her drink. He smiled to himself and took a sip of his drink.
