The sound his tongue made when he whispered "Mine" made Shana feel hot. She felt the word spoken with lust, possessiveness and command and the sudden urge to be surrounded by ice, a lot of ice, made way in her mind.
Several thoughts interrupted her mind and, in the midst of all, she tried to understand the meaning behind his word.
The silence surrounding them was awkward, far more than it, but, they remain in the same posture. A second seemed like minute and minute turned into hours, but the perplexing situation did not cease.
Clearing her throat after minutes, Shana muddle, breaking silence" What?"
"The Apple, of course", coming out of his thoughts, Vihaan answered, but it seemed his mind was somewhere else.
Shana frowned and spoke with liberty, the same way Vihaan had claimed it "I touched that first".
V: "I saw that first".
S: "so"?
V: "Miss Shanaya, did no one tell you that no one should touch other's thing".
S: "Ohh, really!!! How is it yours when I touched it first?"
Slightly brushing his lips to her right ear, making her shocked, and, pretending like it was unintentional, he spoke with Authority "Miss Shanaya, you might not know me, that's why I am telling you for the first and last time. Whatever I see became mine and, I don't like sharing what's mine."
Dismayed by his gestures, Shana tried to calm herself by enlightening herself he was doing all that to distract her, to make her defenceless.
She had heard his charms and tricks would always work, with other girls but, she was not, like others. She knew she was getting affected by him and his touch, but she was not let him grin in victory.
On top of that, she knows he was showing arrogance and, ego to her, but, she could not let him go as per his plans. There were many apples and, he could have taken, one from them, but no, he was trying to dominate her.
Shana cupped the apple with more strength and, it seemed her gesture did not go unnoticed by him as he cupped her hand more firmly, but with little force.
That little act made, Shanaya winced in pain but, she stopped it instantly, she was not, weak.
She might be feminine and, soft, but, her inner determination was not weak.
Vihaan had no intention to hurt her, he had cupped her palm only with little force, but his muscular and toned hand might have hurt her.
As if he could heel her pain, in a second, he withdraws his hand, but didn't free her from his cage and placed that same hand on the right side of Shanaya on the table.
Though Shana was fully dressed, she could sense her waist feeling the heat of Vihaan's Hands, placed near her waist on the table.
And, to add fuel in the heat surrounding them both, her hunger was on its peak.
Neglecting all the tickle her body was feeling, she grabbed the apple to eat it, but, his presence behind her was making her think why he has not left already.
Curiosity kills the cat, and, she tried to turn to know but gasped when their position registered, finally.
She had guessed he would be close to her but had not realized it would be so close she would not even turn without touching him.
No matter how awkward or intimated the position was, she could not stand without facing him.
Slowly, she turns to face him and, her right arm brushed against his right arm sending sparks all over her body.
She smiled inwardly at the sarcasm in her tone when she thought how the touch was not going to affect Vihaan at all, for he was too experienced in the 'touching' field.
Acting ignorant of all the feeling she was feeling, she keeps on turning even when her breast pressed against his chest.
Vihaan clenched his fist the moment he felt her and shouted at her in his mind to 'stop' but no word came out. Taking slow, but long breathes, he watches her action, who had somehow mostly turned.
He growled inside him when his left hand, that was on the table was pressed, by her right hand.
Shana immediately uplifts her right hand that was occupying the apple and send an eye-to-eye apology.
She puts her hand a little away from his hand on the table to stable herself and to stop touching him. She did not wish to embarrass her, thus choose to ignore his gaze and kept her eyes low.
Not knowing why he had continued standing there, she lifts her eyes and saw his eyes planning something.
Before Vihaan could do anything, Shana placed the apple in front of her mouth and took a bite, claiming it as hers, and grinned in victory, with her left brow arched upward and her face lit up with a smile.
Vihaan had expected her to do something, knowing her rebellious and insistent nature, but he had not expected that.
He understood without wasting any time she had challenged him by claiming something his, that too, in his presence.
Shana, too engrossed in the sweetness of her little victory, didn't focus her thoughts on him and was going to take another bite when her eyes widened in shock.
She could not believe he had just taken a bite from her apple, that was in her hand and was her apple.
Chewing the apple, Vihaan smirked and bent down to her face level. A desirous idea stuck his mind when he saw her lips covered with the juice of the apple, but, forcing himself, he travels his gaze upward.
Shana could almost swear she saw something devilish in his eyes and her body reacted herself.
Without knowing, she took a step back but, found her path to the escape restricted by the table behind her.
Not in the state of facing him, for her body was betraying her, her face had turned into a red tomato, she kept her gaze, downward. She kept it low when she felt him coming closer, and when she found he had once again caged her by his arms.
Distracting his gaze from her lips, Vihaan leaned closer to her, but maintaining a certain distance, spoke, with a tone dipped in arrogance"I told you Miss Sanaya, I don't share what's mine" and snatched the apple from her.
Before Shana could grasp the situation, she saw him taking steps back and creating respectable distance between them.
Standing away from her, Vihaan locked his eyes with her's and, took a bite from the apple.
The act was simple but so sexy for Shanaya.
She finds it amusing when she saw his adam apple moving while gulping and avert her gaze when she saw him looking at her and smirking.
She kept on standing even when she saw him retreating. She had no feeling or idea how it feels to be so close to a man, or how to keep her beats to herself. She had not even shared that proximity with the person she had loved.
Deep in understanding her emotions, Shana was too lost to saw Vihaan coming back and, shock masked her face when she saw he has again caged her, much closer than the previous state.
Standing closer to her, Vihaan could feel the heat her body was generating. He had noticed how Shana never wore any revealing dresses, but he admits to herself she was desirable, hot and beautiful.
Before Shana could point out anything, he spoke sincerely "You must have known tomorrow is Dee's birthday."
"Yup, I know" she stated.
Taking her left hand with his right hand, he wondered how delicate they are, how soft her skin felt in his big and rough hands, but broke the chain of his thoughts when he notices her discomfort, and turning his eyes on the watch, spoke "Good! be in my room tomorrow at sharp 9 in the night."
"Excuse me??" not able to understand has she heard correct, Shana enquired.
"You need to execute the plan I have for Dee's birthday and, to do so, you need to listen to me."
"Why would I execute the plan?"
"Who will execute, then?"
Frustrated with herself for so many reasons, Shana levels her eyes with his and, gritting her teeth, spoke furiously "You must have forgotten something important, Mr Vihaan. But, let me remind you, I do what I wish to do."
Vihaan closed his eyes to control his anger and clenched his teeth. He remained there for a minute and opened his reddened eyes to look dangerously at Shana.
In one stride, he reaches to her and forgetting all the respect for her, pull her closer harshly to him, lifted her chin upward with his right index, and looking in her eyes, spoke rudely" Do not let me force you, Miss Shanaya".
Removing his index finger under her chin with hate and anger, Shana challenged" Do not even dare, Mr Vihaan".
They kept on glaring at each other, challenging each other to back off when Vihaan spoke for the last time" 9 P.M Sharp, Miss Shana or you won't like the consequences".
