"Hey sleepy head!"
A faint soothing voice overwhelmed Vidhi's senses as she transitioned slowly from the depths of unknown to the comfort of her known reality.
"How are you feeling now?"
The voice echoed in her ears again and she slowly opened her eyes and smiled at Anirudh.
"I'm good." She inhaled the scent of his cologne to acclaimatize her nerves to reconcile with the thoughts that occurred to her while asleep.
"I dreamt about you...it was... It was very different..." Vidhi murmured as Anirudh ran his palm gently on her head.
"What kind of dream?" He asked her softly.
Vidhi's face flushed at once. She pressed her eyes shut and swallowed hard.
"I.. I can't tell you." She murmured again.
"Anirudh lowered his face on hers and planted one soft kiss on her forehead.
"I was worried for you Miss Sengupta... Very worried..." He paused, reorganising his words.
"I know it's quite a lot for you to process all these details about my family and the curse and... And, I know it's overwhelmes you... But, you need to tell me your dreams, and thoughts so that I can help you."
Vidhi looked up to meet his eyes. There was tenderness and compassion written on those hazel orbs... tenderness, that she had never known!
"I dreamt of touching you."
Anirudh narrowed his eyes as he heard her speak.
"And?" He asked.
"And, it was... It was wild! My nails were dug on your chest and... And, I could almost feel your taste."
Anirudh pressed a smirk on his lips, careful enough not to embarrass her.
"And?"
Vidhi rolled her eyes.
"And what?? Do you really want me to narrate the level of wildness now!"
She let out a deep breath and sank back into her pillow, recovering from the weariness that the remembrance had caused her.
"So... As you said I'm a 'reborn' of Bondita, and... And, I saw those pictures, your pictures and I know now that you are a reborn of her lover..." Vidhi paused searching for the right words.
"Are we to fall in love or what happens now?"
"I don't know what happens now, but, I know for sure that I won't let any harm touch you."
"What harm?" Vidhi frowned.
"There are a number of things actually... Miss Sengupta, you'll have to be patient to understand these things."
Anirudh touched her hands gently and she nodded her head to state her affirmation.
"First, as you near your 18th birthday, you'll start to remember more of your past life... Your past self... Untill it takes over you completely."
"But... What...."
Anirudh picked her hand up in his and pressed her palm a little to assure her.
"I'm here for you... So that you don't lose yourself. You can cohabit both the consciences in one body Miss Sengupta. Bondita is a part of you... Know her, feel her, so that you can be her, rather than being overpowered by her conscious."
"How do I do that?" Vidhi asked blankly.
"I'll teach you."
"So, you too, have let Barrister Anirudh Roy Chowdhury's conscious dwell in you? Do you feel what he feels." Vidhi murmured the words, apprehensive of the fate that she was destined to.
Anirudh let out a sharp sigh.
"It's not that simple in my case... I'll tell you someday."
"So, how else can I be harmed?" She asked again as she snuggled a little closer to his body, trying to protect herself from the sudden drop in the room temperature.
"You are destined to have some powers Miss Sengupta, after your 18th... I'll tell you about those when the time is right..." He paused.
"And, there are people, bad people, who have waited for a hundred years to get that power from you.... They would try to harm you... Force you to yield to them."
"So, what do I do?"
"Don't worry... I have thought of something... I'll tell you in due time." Anirudh ran his fingers through her hair and looked at her face tenderly.
"You now need to freshen up and eat something... It's been thirty hours that you have been asleep."
Vidhi sat up straight as Anirudh helped her get down from the bed.
"I'll be outside, if you need me."
Vidhi staggered inside the bathroom and latched the door behind her.
It was a long night and a never-ending series of erotic dreams that was tossing inside her head.
It was while taking the shower that something unusual happened to her. She suddenly became mildly aware of a new feeling in arising within her body. At first she thought it to be merely exhaustion. But slowly, her body started to respond to this newness.
The soapy showerhead had slipped from her hand and she caught the showerhead between her knees in a reflex, with its jet aimed and set right in between her thighs. It was like an immediate relaxing feeling that took over Vidhi's entire being. She just sat down in the tub of the shower allowing the pulsing feeling to relieve her of all her tiredness. Every muscle seemed to relax, and her body went to a place it had never been, and her mind drifted to a place she had been craving for since those wild dreams.
Vidhi closed her eyes, imagining Anirudh's face, and his bare body... his slender neck, broad shoulders and ripped torso...
Vidhi lay there in that position for several minutes, the pulsing sensation weakening her every sense. Her eyes were closed, her mouth was dry, her breathing shallow, yet paced, her nubs were harder than raisins, and her body so relaxed that she felt sleepy.
Suddenly, as if by some magic she grabbed the showerhead tighter, and a shockwave jolted through her entire body causing her to cry out.
"Anirudh...!" She screamed as her very first orgasm took over her. Every muscle seemed to tense up as she cried out a guttural noise from deep inside her core.
But, before she could feel more, the door of the washroom broke opened, with Anirudh standing infront her nakedness, with widened eyes and a fearful expression on his face.
"What happened?... I .. I thought you fell down!"
A hot feeling took over Vidhi's entire being. She felt her face flushed at once and a puff of hot air escaped from her ears.
Anirudh looked away immediately.
"I... I'm sorry."
He rushed away from the bathroom door, leaving Vidhi stoned inside the tub.
She was embarrassed, no doubt, but another strange urge took over her... The urge of pulling him close... The urge of feeling him on her body, the urge of becoming his forever.
Something inside her stirred as she slowly got up from the tub and put on her dry bathrobe, before walking out of the wet floor like a spellbound soul.
Anirudh was sitting in the dining hall. He looked up at her and looked away immediately l, murmuring another apology.
Vidhi looked stunning! Her wet locks fell carelessly on her shoulders, and her body was covered with a black robe till her upper thighs.
"Sorry won't help..." Vidhi chuckled, as she inched closer to him, making him sit up straight on the chair.
"You saw me Barrister Babu... Now, it's time for me to see you." She smiled seductively as she ran her fingers along Anirudh's jawline.
"You didn't let me complete last night, Barrister Babu... So, now it's time."
She saddled Anirudh on the chair, spreading her legs as her hands started to undo the buttons of his shirt expertly.
"Bondita??"
Anirudh's exclaimed.
Vidhi smiled as her eyes reflected love and lust for him at the same time.
"It's been a hundred years, Barrister Babu... Don't make me wait any longer!" She urged with a undeniable sensuality making a shiver of wild passion course through Anirudh's body.
He moved his hand up and grabbed the back of her neck, making her tremble.
"Where is Vidhi, Bondita?" He whispered.
"I am Vidhi..." She narrowed her eyes and bit her lower lip sensuously.
"I mean, she is here... Vidhi and Bondita... In one body... She is me!"
Anirudh was about to say something, but before he could, he felt Vidhi's hands cupping his face with all her might as her lips plunged inside his mouth without any invitation.
"Bondita... Bondita... Listen!" Anirudh pulled away breathlessly.
"Vidhi might get hurt... I don't want to do..."
"Shh....!" Bondita smiled.
"This body craves for you Anirudh!
Vidhi or I, we both want you..."
She took his hand and made him touch the wetness on her inner thighs.
"You feel it? This is what you caused to Vidhi... " She bent closer, only an inch away from his mouth.
"You know the deal Barrister Babu... Make Vidhi yours... Make her feel you with her heart and body, so that we can be together forever!"
Bondita closed her eyes and waited for Anirudh's lips to bridge the gap.
"Bondita I love you... I want you... But, I have to first ensure this is what Vidhi wants as well."
Anirudh touched her face gently, pulling her closer to him, as he let her rest her head on her shoulder.
Anirudh felt her rugged breathing gradually calming down.
"Vidhi..." He called out slowly.
"Hmm.."
"Is it you?" He asked again as Vidhi wrapped her arms around him tighter.
"Who else would it be?" She whispered.
"You called me by my name!!"
"Yes! I did.." Anirudh patted her head lovingly.
"You are special, Vidhi... Very special!"
