Can you mend my broken heart?

She was all shy after disconnecting the call. She had no courage to look into his eyes. But she could clearly sense that he was pleased while she was turning all shades scarlet. She was totally befuddled, unable to decide whether to snicker at her own choices or to loathe.

She took a long pause, took deep breaths and then looked up only to find that he was still looking at her with the same unfazed expression on his face.

"Damn this guy!!!", she thought in her head.

"Will you at least now go and freshen up?", Akira asked.

"So you want me to leave you and go and take bath?", he asked with a sly expression on his face.

"Yup!!!", she replied all gleefully.

"So you won't miss me when I am gone?", he asked and chuckled.

"Just go already", Akira said and pushed him away.

She watched him leave and her stomach backflipped. His well-chiseled body and his broad and sturdy back had her craving for more. She went to the AC controller and turned the temperature down by 2 degrees.

Then she straddled around the room for a while to pass her time. She picked up a magazine and then hoisted herself on top of his study table and started reading. It was a business magazine and suddenly she was shocked to see Vikram's interview in one of the pages. She immediately beamed with happiness and clicked a picture of it and sent it to Vikram.

"Check this out" - Akira

"I know you must be busy in your meetings at Singapore but call me when you are free at lunchtime" - Akira

Vikram saw her text and replied immediately even though he was busy in a meeting.

"My meeting will stretch late. Don't wait for my call and jeopardize your sleep ok. I will call you tomorrow morning". - Vikram

"Ok boss" - Akira

"I miss you" - Vikram

"I miss you more. Have a nice day" - Akira

"Good night Akira!!!" - Vikram

She was about to text him good night back but then she heard the bathroom door open and stopped doing everything that she was doing and looked in his direction. He was wearing a bathrobe and it was tied quite loose, causing a good part of his chest visible to her.

She kept gawking at him as he inched closer towards her. Slowly her lips parted and she gulped her own spit.

"So you like what you see?", Raymond asked looking into her eyes.

"Um... I wasn't looking at you. I was just checking the... the bedside lamp. It's quite nice", Akira quickly tried to cover up.

"You need to work upon your lying skills, if I may suggest", Raymond said and smiled at her.

She pouted her lips but didn't say anything.

"By the way, were you trying to seduce me or something?", Raymond asked and caught her completely off-guard.

"What the hell are you talking about?", Akira asked getting a bit angry.

"Well, I guess it was you before who complained that the shirt was short in length and now sitting up there aren't you deliberately making it shorter?", Raymond asked scanning her whole body top to bottom.

Akira quickly looked at her shirt, the hemline was definitely a couple of inches lifted up because of her sitting posture, barely hiding her. She immediately got down looking all embarrassed. She tucked her hair behind her ears and said,

"Umm... I didn't intend to".

He took a few more steps forward and looking into her eyes he said,

"But I was seduced", and he took a deep breath.

She still couldn't look up and looked here and there, everywhere except into his eyes. He smiled gently and slowly lifted her shirt inch by inch with his palm. He grazed his fingers lightly and crossed her thighs and then settled for her waist. His unruly fingers touching her bare smooth skin and set them on fire. As she felt his desirous hand on her skin, she burst into flames. Goosebumps, shivers, hot flashes all at the same time drove her crazy. Then coming even closer, he hoisted her back on the table the very next second.

"Who asked you to get down?", he said and rubbed his thumb on her waist.

He looked into her eyes and then saw her lips parting again and the waves of desire started brimming up inside him. He pushed her further back into the table and then held her knees and parted them slowly still looking into her eyes as if he wanted to tell her to trust him.

Her breath was heavy and she could barely move and speak like she was sedated by his touch. He moved even closer to her into the space that he had created and then held her face in his hands and asked her,

"Tell me you love me".

She took a deep breath and said,

"I love you, Raymond".

"Show me how much?", he asked his tone all husky and seductive.

She looked into his eyes and leaned forward. She reached near his face and paused to turn her hair to the other side and then gave a small peck on his left cheek, then on his right.

Then she held his face and kissed his forehead, his eyes lids and then on the tip of his nose. Then she paused again to calm her own breath and touched his lips with hers. His lips moved to capture her lips in between but she swiftly moved back.

"I love you this much only", Akira said and smiled with a goofy look on her face but he was displeased like someone had snatched away his food from him.

"Not enough!!!", he said all crossed.

"Then you need to bribe me well", Akira said and giggled.

He sighed and then his hands crawled under her shirt again. His one hand around her bare back and another at the nape of her neck and he pulled her closer and said,

"You are too greedy".

His eyes focused on her lips and his lips moved forward to gently touch them at first. Then his lips caused her lips to part and he embraced her lips in his own. She withered with every step that his lips took and her own lips danced in symphony with his. His hands gently tracing imaginary lines on her back, sending wave after wave of shivers. With every passing moment, the kiss deepened further and further.

His hands moved from her back and gently lifted her hips. He completely pulled her body onto him. She twined her legs around his waist and wrapped him in her arms. Slowly his kisses turned all urgent and warm. His tongue started exploring her mouth like he was on a voyage to win over her body. She moaned with pleasure and clung to him even tighter. She was getting hot, he was getting hotter. Her fingers were now ransacking his hair, tugging him, pulling him every single time that she wanted to moan. She was all helpless as her body responded to him in ways that she had never imagined.

And then suddenly it hit her. She became all nervous but she didn't want to separate away from this unison. She yearned for more but finally, she gave up.

She withdrew herself back all of a sudden and closed her eyes.

She took a couple of deep breaths.

He could not understand what just happened, but then he saw her chest moving rapidly up and down.

She swallowed as she tried to force herself to talk. Averting her gaze away from him, she said,

"I... I... need to breathe".
