• I never played fair, for none I ever cared, it's seems like you're the answer to my silent prayers.. •

Manik : "I can never have enough of you, I want you right here, right now!".. he whispered in his hoarse voice, he pinned her to the side wall and crashed his lips with hers once more for a soul searing kiss. She moaned badly when his hand travelled down to her naked thighs, he picked her one leg and wrapped it around his hips ,still holding it on its place and moved more closer to her while kissing her mercilessly.

She groaned when his errection touched right there above her fabric.

Manik : "hush! Don't make a sound!"..He said softly yet so seductively. She felt her whole body set on fire with those simple words from him.

He scoops her in his arms and carries her quickly to the bed as if he is in hurry, he isn't able to control himself anymore.

He left her on the bed with a thud and she took aback with his action, she looked at him while his dark eyes seeing through her, his eyes always fascinates her. He hovered on her, placed his hands on her either side, keeping all his weight on his hands. They are nose to nose close, both can hear the heartbeat of each other, he looked in her eyes with something desiring, something passionate , something which has no limit.

Manik: "What you doing to me Mrs. M?, I never took anyone to my penthouse, I never given a ride to anyone, I never did twice with anyone else. What's so special in you? What's that which is pulling me towards you Mrs. M?, What is it?.. ".. he said looking straight into her eyes and unknowingly her eyes welled up with tears, he noticed a tear eloped from the corner of her eye. He kissed away her tears, she clutched his shoulder tightly and  shut her eyes more tightly.

Manik: "I'm not used to have conversations amidst of sex, but I think you really need one..".. he said honestly and she seems surprised by his move, he moved back and laid down beside her.

He took her in his arms, and she placed her head on his heart, his hand moved to her hairs and he started playing with her hairs.

Manik : "Is there is something which is eating you? Or all this is very new to you?".. he asked while playing with her hairs, looking at the ceiling.

Nandini : "hmm!" ..Her eyes are closed

Manik : "talk to me Mrs. M.."..He tried to pursue but she didn't said anything.

Nandini : "hmm!"..

Manik : "are you incoherent?"..He said with a wry smile.

Nandini : "hmm!"..She answered

Manik : "Is that all you can do right now?"..

Nandini : "hmm!". He laughed this time and took her in his embrace as if trying to melt her in his arms.

Manik : "you are very unpredictable, and I love this about you.. Sleep Mrs. M.."..He kissed on her head and closed his eyes for a peaceful nap.

• I never felt this content ever before, I never wished for more, but there is you who is giving me so much to store.. •

"Stop! No! Please! No! Don't! Stop! Ahhhhhhhhhhh" ..

Nandini sat back on bed suddenly, her breath is uneven, her eyes are wild and vacant, scanning quickly round the empty room, her whole body is shivering badly, she placed her hand on her heart and looked in her side. There's a glass of water, she picked it and took a sip, as the cold water goes inside her, she feels a bit calm but her horrifying nightmare still fresh in her mind.

She looked in her right side and there's none there, she again scanned the whole room but it's empty.

She closed her eyes and placed her head on the bed rest, trying hard to catch her breath.

Nandini : "These nightmares!"..She murmured to herself. But before she get lost in the agonizing memories, she heard a charming yet so concerned tone.

Manik: "Are you fine Mrs. M?".. he asked after coming to her, her eyes met his and her breath came back to normal.

Nandini : "Am fine! Was looking for you, where were you?"..She asked when he sat in front of her, he took her hand in his and moved it to his lips, he kissed her knuckles as softly as he can.

Manik : "Just an hour without me, and you are restless, seems like am in your head Mrs. M .."..He smirked evilly and she snatched her hand back, her action surprised him.

Nandini : "Don't give so much importance to yourself Mr. M.. it's just I thought you left for the party without me..".. she snapped back and he grinned.

Manik : "I like the way you are.. so crusty and cross! ".. he mocked and she rolled her eyes on him.

Nandini : "what's the time?, Aren't we suppose to leave from your ivory tower! .. ".. she mocked this time and he narrowed his gaze on her.

Manik : "Ivory tower? Seriously?".. he asked with his brows creases.

Nandini : "Your building gives this feeling only..".. she looked all around and he looked amusingly at her..

She can see through me?, How can she be so perfect with her assumptions?..

Manik : "You can call it whatever you like, after all it's your place as well now.. ".. his words stunned her, she looked at him with surprising expression.

Nandini : "So you are saying that I have a share in your building ?".. she tried to mock but he took it seriously.

Manik : "Not a bad idea! I shall transfer this property on your name."..He seems hell serious!

Whao! What a change of direction!

Nandini : "Are you out of your mind?".. she literally shouted on him and he looked angry.

Manik : "What's your problem Mrs. M?".. he scowled.

Nandini : "It's you who is my problem Manik Malhotra, firstly you can't just transfer this whole property on my name, I didn't married you because of your fucking money, I married you because of my parents wish, Secondly! Am not a gold digger and I don't want your money at all..".. now she seems to be hell angry and he seems surprised by her outburst but angry as hell..

Manik : "Careful with your language and tone Mrs. M, I really don't think that I appreciate it..".. he warned her but she is as stubborn as him.

Nandini : "Don't then!".. she snapped and stepped out of bed leaving him burning in fire of anger.

Manik : "God! She is crazy!".. he moved his hand in his hairs, trying hard to control his anger but nothing works out.

But wait! Did you really thought to transfer this property on her name?.. his subconscious asked being stunned with his moves..

Manik too lost in deep thoughts, Why he did that?. It's not like he's willingly giving his millions of property just like that to someone, It's so un-Manik .. There are so many people out there who has the eye on this beautiful building of his, who are ready to pay triple amount to him but he never paid any heed to them, as it was never about money to him, it's because he really lives in ivory tower, she was right about the property. He has built it from ordinary to extraordinary ..

He ran all this fingers on his lips in exasperation, Why he said so? What's the reason behind it?. It's all confusing, from the day she came in his world till this date She has moved his world upside down. He like to be in charge but she always disarm him.

• No matter how arduous it is, No matter how painful it is, I can do anything and everything to stay where you live.. •

She came outside the washroom after half an hour and walked straight to the closet, he is still in the room and as soon as he turned around, he seems utterly shocked , surprised, amused , excited and what not! The girl is walking inside his closet with no clothes on, no fabric on her body.

He continuously gawking at her, while she didn't paid any heed to his burning gaze.

She checked the whole closet which is filled with his clothes and his clothes only, she made a very bad phase and moved out of the closet, he is sitting on the bed and enjoying the floor show to the core, he has a bewitching smile on his beautiful handsome face while not even for once she looked at him.

Nandini : "Take your shameless gaze off me Mr. M...".. she stated without looking at him, she picked her luggage from the floor and placed it on the edge of the bed, he grinned but didn't said anything..

She opened the bag, and checked her dresses, she made a beautiful pout with a confused expression while Manik is drinking her beauty.

Manik : "Mrs. M are you doing this purposely?"..He asked when she walked to the mirror and wore a bra but then tossed it on the bed.

Nandini : "I don't know what you talking about Mr. M, it will be better if you get ready. ".. she stated blankly still not looking at him, she tried another bra but didn't liked that also, so she tossed it back on the bed. This time he grabbed it and stepped out of the bed.

Manik : "Seems like you aren't able to decide what to wear.".. he smirked and she just nodded while trying another bra.

He walked inside his closet and brought a packet from there, he stood behind her and looked in the mirror.

Manik : "I really like to look at you like this all day, but I need to be saint for some hours ..".. he told his heart out and she looked confused.

Manik : "I would appreciate if you'll wear this..".. he handed her a packet and she turned to face him. He is trying his best to resist his eatable body but this girl seems like doing all this purposely.

Nandini : "It should be nice!".. she remarked and he seems stunned again..

Manik : "You and your smart mouth!".. he commented with a grin and she gave him a wry smile.

She opened the packet and she found a sliver dress.

She looked at the dress deeply, as if she is trying to find some flaws in it. While Manik is waiting for her reaction as he isn't able to read her eyes.

Nandini : "I must say Mr. M.. you don't have a good taste! "..She snapped back with full attitude leaving Manik baffled by her reaction , he looked at her dumbfounded.

Shit! Did she really accused me?

Nandini : "Well! I decided what I'll wear.. "..she picked a red color dress from the bed and turned towards the mirror..

Nandini : "That's better!".. she said after keeping the dress to her body and he is still standing there looking at her like he has seen some ghost..

Nandini : "What? Are you going to keep standing over here whole day?..".. she mocked at him and he is still surprised.. he looked at her angrily, and snatched the red dress from her. She turned around to face him.

Manik : "I hate when anyone defy me, you should understand that when I want something to happen then not even Almighty can stop that.."...his anger clearly visible on his face, and in one go he ripped the dress apart. She gasped in shock while he is burning in anger.

He picked the rest of of her clothes from the bed, and threw them in the bin.

Nandini : "Are you mad?".. she shouted when he poured liquor on all the dresses in the bin.

Manik : "You haven't seen my madness Mrs. M.. ".. he told her and picked the matchbox from the chest of the drawer. She looked at him with widen eyes and he looked at her furiously.

He lit the match stick and threw it in the bin, the whole bin catches the fire while Nandini was looking at him with shocked filled eyes, she still can't believe that he did it!

Manik is standing a bit far from her and in mid there is bin which is burning with fire..

Manik : "Now let's see! What you'll wear Mrs. Nandini Manik Malhotra".. he commented curtly while she glared him back with the equal anger and fire in her eyes..
