Oh God. What do I do?
“I-I’ll be right back,” she said.
She slipped out of his hold, and he luckily allowed it. She bent down, picked up the silver clutch, and ran to the bathroom.
She shut the door and leaned against it staring at herself in the mirror.
With trembling hands, she placed the silver clutch on the counter and took out the tiny black object. She stared at it before walking to the mirror area and opening the trash bin underneath. She stared at the object for a moment before throwing it inside and closing the trash bin.
Then sucking in a deep breath, she opened the bathroom door and stepped into the bedroom.
Her heart jerked when she saw Shivay standing by the bed. He had removed his suit jacket and was watching her. She didn’t know what to tell him. There was a dark look on his face, the kind she had seen when he discovered her betrayal.
“I-I was just… preparing for the night,” she said. “I forgot to take the birth control pills.”
She took them in the mornings, and she had taken one that morning too, but he hadn’t seen her earlier.
He didn’t say anything.
Slowly, she went to him and placed her slightly trembling hands on his chest. “Make me yours, Shivay,” she whispered.
His eyes darkened hungrily.
She gasped when his hands gripped her hips and pushed her on the bed. Her back met with the soft mattress. Before she could take a breath, he pulled up her sapphire dress and dragged her panties down. Her gasp soon converted to a shocked cry of pleasure when his mouth went down on her throbbing core.
With trembling hands, she clutched his hair and writhed under his seductive spell as pleasure peaked inside her. Within moments, she cried out his name, gasping and moaning. But he didn’t stop. He continued to pleasure her.
Her body shuddered. “Shivay!” she said, unable to take more of it. Her sensitive folds were overstimulated. But he gripped her hips and his tongue stroked her.
Shockingly, another climax hit her, but it was too overwhelming, leaving her drained and her body shaking. She was still trembling when she watched him shed the rest of his clothes. The look on his darkly handsome face trembled her stomach and made her womb quiver.
Her body shuddered when he entered her and claimed her with a dark fierceness that set her off again. For the rest of the night, he set her body ablaze until she was consumed by him.
CHAPTER 26
“The Merrick acquisition is completed…”
“The mines are secured, and the ecological teams are working without hindrance…”
“Operations are running well…”
“The hunt for the goddess statue is ongoing…”
“The assassin’s DNA is confirmed to be from the Singoor region, but the damn man seems to have teleported to the Middle East and Africa with no passport trail in India…”
Shivay stood near the tall windows overlooking the garden while his brothers could be heard on the office phone. The soft melodic sounds from the bin musical instrument floated in the air from below.
His brothers were providing updates.
“Mom and Dad are doing fine.” Rishab’s voice came through the office phone speaker. “They are planning a trip to Nandini’s university next week.”
Shivay had spoken to his parents the previous week when they had an emotional reunion after being apart for twenty years. He hadn’t had a chance to talk to them again as he had been traveling in the desert to speak with the clans. His parents wanted to wait until Nandini was finished with her university exams before breaking the truth that would disrupt her perception of being a fatherless child. Shivay knew it would be another emotional reunion.
“You know, after seeing Mom and Dad, we are determined to speed things up,” Rishab said. “Dad already misses his home, but he doesn’t want to jeopardize Mom’s safety.”
Shivay knew that as well.
“If alliances are the way to go, we should consider it even though Dad doesn’t want it for us,” said Nakul. “Although… hearing about you and your wife from Rishab, I’m thinking perhaps marriage alliance is not a bad thing. He also says the women of Singoor are stunning, especially your wife, whom you apparently can’t take your eyes off of even when her face is covered by a veil.”
