Playing With Fire

Chapter 32 - Wife

"I don't think so." Shahru's rough voice held an eager edge. Her heart pounded erratically when he stalked toward her. All her silly behavior was forgotten, the mouse was forgotten, when his strong hands grabbed hers and pulled her off the bed. She became even more aware of how naked she actually was when his eyes skirted over her up close. Ever so slowly Shahru's hands moved to her waist. Lightly as butterfly wings he caressed her skin, his hands moving up. They curved around her breasts. Tendrils of pleasure swirled through her body, making a sigh escape her mouth.

His hands kept going. They traveled to her shoulders and under the soft fabric of her
robe before he eased it off her shoulders and let it drop to the floor. Kajol shivered.

"You are so damn beautiful, Angel."

Kajol let her eyes drift closed, her body already primed and ready for him. She felt him everywhere, from the tips of her toes to the top of her head. The scent of soap and masculine man enticed another sigh from her.

"Jesus, you're irresistible."

"I didn't come here for this, Angel." He swiped her cheek with his tongue.

She didn't care what he came here for, what happened the other night, or that jumping into bed with him again when for all she knew he came here tonight to tell her goodbye wasn't a smart thing to do. She wanted him. Badly. "Do it anyway."
That was all it took. Shahru growled a quiet, "shit,"

Shahru's mouth came down hard and urgent on hers. He possessed her mouth with
deep, penetrating tongue kisses that made her whole body tingle with desire. She attacked him back. Kissing with everything she had, her hands threaded through his thick head of silky black hair. He took a step forward and fell over the bed, pinning her with his sinewy body. How did he do that without breaking their kiss? Without crushing her with his delicious weight? However he did it, she thanked God he could. Nothing felt as good as Shahru did on top of her, kissing her. She'd never been so grateful for a mouse in her house. If not for the way he'd walked in on her, she wouldn't be wrapped in his arms while he kissed her senseless.

Shahru moved his skillful mouth to her neck, licking the hollow spot behind her ear before gently nipping her lobe with his teeth.

"I want to eat you up. I shouldn't, but I can't stop myself."

He kissed down her body. Kajol couldn't do anything but fist her blanket in her hands while she squirmed, passion exploding in her body.

"Please..."
Please what, she didn't know, she just knew she needed him to do something before she burned into a pile of ash from the inside out. Her body blazed with sexual heat.

He meant to come over here and talk to her. He needed her to know he couldn't make any promises, but he wanted to do exactly what she'd said, take this one day at a time. The decision hadn't come easily, but then he'd talked to Vinay. After over an hour's conversation his sponsor had pulled Shahru's head from his ass. He was way ahead of himself by freaking out right now. Angel had just gotten out of a relationship and probably wasn't ready to jump right back into one. As long as she knew where he stood from the get-go, maybe they could make this work for a while. Shahru hadn't been completely convinced even when Vinay's parting comment had been to take it one day at a time just like Angel said.

Then when he'd come over to talk to her today, he'd heard her screaming. Fear and anger had taken over when he thought she was being hurt. Then he'd seen the truth, which was even more dangerous. Kajol was in her room, naked and alone. He couldn't have held himself back if he tried. Need filled him up, stronger than any craving for alcohol had ever been. He could deny himself drink, but he couldn't deny himself her. He felt her on a level not even he could understand. Even more than he'd felt Juhi, and that made him feel like shit.
And here she was under him, wanting him just as badly. She deserved better. Somehow he'd find a way to let her down, but while she still had her illusions of who she thought him to be, he had to have her. He'd do his best to give her what she needed too, even if only for a little while.
