A dark chuckle rumbled in the surrounding making her flinch. He tilted his head mocking her, "Wasn't expecting me?" she heard that voice after so long. The voice that has haunted her even in her dreams. "......?", she whispered in a haze. Her voice was laced with shock. He groaned in pure ecstasy hearing her calling his name after so long, "Ohh just how much I missed your voice baby!" a shiver ran down her spine hearing that endearment he has always addressed her with. She still couldn't believe her eyes. Her nightmare was standing right in front of her. She had tried running away from him so many times but here she found herself in front of him again. He found her. But is she going to just surrender without putting on a fight against him? No. Her mind screamed at her to run. And she did what her mind told her to. She turned around ready to try running away again. She barely took any steps when a muscular hand grabbed her bare waist caging her from behind. Her body slammed against his. A painful yelp left her mouth when he dug his nails into her flesh. "Trying to run away again baby?", he growled in her ears. ROOH SHARMA. A beautiful girl with an intoxicating smile.
