CHAPTER-8.
Give me a reason why I should give up my prey-
Tell me a story where it happened..
And I will give you back thousand reasons to cry-
Thousand more reasons to hate me and lament..
Astha kept on banging the door with all her might.People from other rooms were peeping out wondering why so much ruckus..But Astha was past caring..
"OPEN THE GODDAMN DOOR YOU-..!!!"
She could not finish the sentence as suddenly the door opened,and in seconds she was pulled in side,and trapped against the now closed door,inside the room.
"What the hell are you playing at?!!You little HELL CAT!!!"He hissed out in a completely furious voice.
Taken aback by everything that happened so fast,Astha stared back dumbly at him.
"This is a GODDAMN HOTEL YOU IDIOT!!!Not your house that you can scream and shout as you please!"He snarled out.
Quickly Astha got back her composure and earlier anger.
"Don't you dare call me names you SCOUNDREL!!!How DARE YOU throw me out of my room!!!Who gave you the right to?!!Do you think just because you are The SHLOK AGNIHOTRI you can do anything you want?!!"She hissed out.
Her eyes were burning in fury just like his was..
But suddenly as she kept on staring at him angrily,she noticed his anger vanish from his eyes slowly..
But the steely glint she noticed it was replaced with seemed more dangerous to her,she realised too late.
Suddenly before she could understand what he ws doing,he had picked her up and carrying her towards the huge bed.
"What are you doing?!"She flayed her legs in protest in vain.
But before she could scream and shout some more,she was thrown on the bed..And as she sat reeling from the impact of the throw,he was suddenly tucking her in..
"What are you doing for God's sake?!!Are you insane?!!"She shrieked out now literally terrified,as she noticed he was getting rid of the towel draped round his waist.
With a squeak she covered her eyes.
A whoosh of cloth made her peek out from her lying position in the bed,anad to her relief she noticed he had donned a pair of trousers.
But her relief however was short lived,as she realised he was getting in the bed too!!!
Her eyes nearly bulged out,and her mouth opened in a complete O',as she realised he was really getting in the bed.
"What are you doing?!"She squeaked out this time in a strange voice.
He snuggled inside the blanket ,fixed the crinkles,and slowly turned to face her,his head rested on one arm.
"Getting ready to sleep..Why?Do you have something else in mind?MISS KIRLOSKAR?"He said in a perfectly polite voice.
Astha suddenly felt like giggling at the idea that the tone was so unsuitable in the situation.
They might as well have been sitting in an office meeting,the polite tone he was using with her..
"N-..No.."She stammered out.
He gave her the most cherubic smile possible,and Astha decided it looked like a wolf trying to give an angel's smile..And the next instant he was fixing the blanket and getting ready to call it a night again.
"But..But I can't sleep like this!"She protested as he was about to turn off the bedside lamp..
Suddenly he had sat up and was looking at her with utter disgust and irritation.
"So what do I have to do for you Miss Kirloskar..?Should I read you bedtime stories?Or sing you a lullaby?Or maybe-.."His voice lowered to a husky tone,as he came really close to her..
His warm breath fanned her face,making her feel goosebumps all over..
Astha stared into his deep dark eyes as her blood sang out in response to his proximity..
"Or maybe you want me to make hot passionate intense love to you before you go to sleep..?"His soft husky whisper played havoc with all her senses..
And as she felt him coming closer,she suddenly realised how Red Riding Hood must have felt when she encountered the big bad wolf..
Cause Shlok Agnihotri,at that moment really looked real BIG..Real BAD..And he was giving the vibes of being a WOLF..
Suddenly Astha prayed it was not a full moon night tonight..
Cause the way she was being eyes right now by him she felt anytime now he would transform into his real wolf form,and howl out before sinking his fangs into her throat..
Astha gulped nervously again,as she tried to lean back,and carefully put her feet out of the blanket,without him noticing..
"Why should I-..Why should I share the bed with you..?"She asked in a nervous voice,as she prepared herself for flight.
"Maybe because you are a cave woman,who screams,shouts,and bangs door in hotel passages,if left alone?Or maybe because I am polite and am ready to share MY room and MY bed with you,to avoid a scene,and ruckus,which is all you seem to be an expert in creating?Or maybe-.."He was lowering his mouth closer to hers with each huskily spoken sentence.."Or maybe I just want to keep you in my bed.."
His lips were about to touch hers,when Astha shoved him away,and was about to get down from the bed,when she slipped..
THUD!!!
Her head hit the side table hard,and Astha felt the world vanishing from in front of her eyes..And the last thought in her mind before she was drowned to unconsciousness was that tonight she would surely be devoured by the BIG BAD WOLF...
