Chapter 143 - 142

Charan walked slowly towards her with a grin on his face.

He wasn't purposely trying to rile her up or something. Okay, maybe a small part of him was trying. But more than that… He was always used to seeing Shreya so calm and composed. She rarely saw her lose her cool. Especially with him. So he was amused and fascinated to see her like this. Her pouty lips and glaring eyes… And the world of restraint hidden beneath them that felt as if one wrong word from his, she would pounce on him like a tigress. Everything amused him to no end.

But he did not want to test those waters just yet. So, he went and stood in front of her obediently as demanded but he couldn't really do anything about the smug smile on his face.

That smile was like adding fuel to the fire. Shreya leaned forwards with her teeth blaring and bit on his lower lips and as always she did not hold back.

Charan did not even let out a hiss as he tasted his own rusty blood but then Shreya softened considerably after that. She nibbled on his lips almost apologetically. Charan's lips twitched as he reciprocated the kiss. His lips were gentle against hers in spite of how she had just bit him to point of bleeding.

Her soft wet lips made it almost impossible for him to be harsh on her. He savored them slowly and very gently to point Shreya felt like she was sitting on a fluffy cloud or something.

Charan nibbled on her lips asked for entrance and Shreya granted them very eagerly. Minutes ticked by, both of them pulled away slightly due to lack of oxygen, and Charan eyes met with her hazy ones… And the temperament of the kiss changed in a matter of seconds.

His lips dipped back in but this time around they were hungry and intense. He sucked on them desperately arousing a whimper from Shreya.

Shreya's hand circled around his neck and pulled him closer while her other hand slipped under his shirt and explored his skin.

A throaty groan escaped his lips when he felt her tiny little hands burn a path on his back. He pulled away from her lips panting and buried his face at the crooks of her neck taking deep breaths.

"Sorry I was late… got stuck in traffic…" he apologized in a husky voice against her neck making her skin tingle and shudder. Both her hands buried inside his shirt tightened unconsciously.

As his lips crashed back into hers, her hands impatiently went for his buttons and pulled them apart in a hurry. She frustratedly huffed as she struggled taking out his cufflinks.

Charan pulled away chuckling at her impatience. He stood there stared at her gazing into her impatient eyes and removed his cufflinks unhurriedly as if he was giving her a show. Her eyes were eager as they gapped at his slightest nudge and desire filled them to brim watching him.

When Charan met her eyes, the yearning in her eyes made him freeze on his feet. She looked like she wanted to swallow him whole.

"Why did you call me here??" Charan asked, at last, gaining some clarity with his shirt hanging loose on his body with all the buttons and cufflinks removed.

Shreya's patience ran out pretty quickly as she yanked on his shirt and pulled him closer.

"I called you to relieve stress." She muttered in her raspy voice before crashing her lips against his all over again. And this time around, without any hindrance, her hands explored his skin to her heart's content.

The little clarity he gained flew out the window as his shirt slid down his shoulders and bunched at his feet. He chewed on her lips as his hands pulled her sweatshirt off her shoulders. The zipper on the front split with a screech revealing her pale white flushed skin.

Charan pulled away from her knowing he was on the verge of losing his senses but Shreya wrapped her arms and legs around him keeping them close. He lifted her off the table and brought them both to the couch. He sat down with her in his laps and his face buried over her shoulders panting.

Shreya's breathing was just as haywire as her teeth dug into his skin just over his shoulders.

"Shhh…" Charan patted on her back trying to calm her down and as well as himself. But along with pain, pleasure also built in him when he felt her bite on his bare skin.

"That's for all the suffering you put me through in the past few months…" Shreya said in a hoarse voice in between panting as she ran her tongue over the bite mark on his shoulders trying to soothe his pain.

"What did I do??" Charan asked against her ears bewildered and wronged.

Shreya pulled away and looked at him with blazing eyes and puffed cheeks as she replied, "You didn't touch me!!" Her voice was very confident and self-righteous as she accused him.

Charan looked at her slightly taken aback. But then when she saw her, all his defense shattered. Her eyes were looking at him as if he had wronged her or bullied her. More than anger, her demeanor showed disappointment and hurt. He gathered her in his arms and hugged her close and whispered over her neck, "I'm sorry… I just… I thought…"

But before he could get a sentence out, she started struggling in his arms pulling away from him trashing her arms around as she carped further, "You… you don't touch me now. You were treating me like a touch-me-not right?? So you just go ahead and act the same…"

Her complaint went on forever with a pout while her hands hit him several times. Not that it hurt… but still, Charan applied some force and crashed her flat on the couch and hovered over her holding her hands imprisoned in his above her head.

Her eyes were blazing fire glaring at him but then he could also sense a layer of hurt beneath them that made him really uncomfortable.
