Beauty & the Beast

It was an eventful evening for Annika. Her parents had thrown a lavish party on the occasion of her eighteenth birthday and high school graduation. Unlike most kids her age, she got a graduation party before the actual ceremony had commenced. All her friends and relatives including the ones she hardly ever met arrived at the party to congratulate her. Part of her was sad because these were her last days in Lucknow. Soon she will be shifting to her maternal aunt’s home in Mumbai and attending a college there. She was grateful for her cousins Rudra and Priyanka’s presence in the mansion. Omkara was a little older than them, still a sweetheart. Then there was a tall, brooding man with azure eyes.

Her attention shifted as the door clicked open. Think of the devil and the devil’s here. The azure-eyed man stood in front of her wearing a sexy smile. Annika became more conscious of herself. It didn’t help that she looked up to him ever since she was a little girl. He was very protective of her as well. At thirty he was very handsome and an object of desire. The only thing that refrained Annika till now was the huge age gap between them.

Shivaay drank the beauty in front of him from head to toe. He licked his lips. The little princess had grown to be quite hot. He had eyes on her ever since she was in her puberty. Unlike Omkara, Rudra and Priyanka, he never saw her as a cousin. When she was younger, he reprimanded himself for thinking of her in such a way. Five years down the road, his feelings did not change. He had more lust in his heart and he was desperate. She was legal now.

“You look beautiful.” Shivaay placed his hands on either side of her shoulder. She smiled. He kissed her forehead. She wrapped her arms around him softly hugging him.

“I have gifts for you,” holding her hand, he made her wear a bangle. He couldn’t control himself from kissing her arm. She shivered in surprise. He looked into her eyes. The was not an ounce of discomfort in them. He could read her eyes and she certainly wanted more. He trailed kisses from her fingers to her elbow.

Shivaay gifted her a moon bracelet next. He kissed her other hand as well. Annika’s shy smile broadened. Her eyes twinkled in joy. He cupped her face. She stepped closer to him. Her heart was beating erratically. He touched her ears getting rid of the earrings she wore. He adjusted the diamond earrings he got for her in her ear.

She closed her eyes feeling his breath fanning her face. He gently sucked her earlobe. She wrapped her arms around his waist tightly clutching the material of his suit.

"Umm," she moaned.

His beard was brushing her cheeks. Annika never liked bearded men. Yet somehow Shivaay managed to charm her with his beard. He kissed and sucked her other earlobe as well. As he brushed her right cheek with his beard, she realized she was getting excited.

Reading romance novels never made her feel this way. This reaction was exclusive to Shivaay. She loved the pool created in her panties.

He brushed her hair to one side. She opened her to find a pendant fixed on her neck. He bent to kiss the crook of her neck. "Ahh," She hissed when he bit her there. His smirk told her that he had left a hickey.

He stared at her lips. His thumb lightly caressed her lower lip.

“Can I kiss you?” there was a long pause before he continued, “On your lips.”

Her lips parted. She looked into his eyes. He was serious. Why wouldn’t he be? She was not a minor anymore and everything that was to happen would happen with her consent.

A barely-there hum was heard. It was all needed for Shivaay to hold her close and smash her lips with his. He felt her baby skin under his palm. He sucked her lower lip with all his might. Her inexperience was obvious. She held onto the material of his suit as he kissed the hell out of her. Her lips were bruised yet he did not seem to finish. His hands crept up her back inside the dress she wore. She was left weak for a moment but soon her energy matched his.

The hot kiss lasted for five minutes. Annika was pink in color when he released her. She couldn’t believe she kissed him. She was left wanting more. It was not just a kiss for her. She had begun to spin dreams of a fairytale with him.

He cupped her face. “I promise to be there for your graduation ceremony tomorrow. Then we will go out somewhere.”

Seeing her expression, he added, “Don’t worry. I will take permission from aunt and uncle.”

Annika smiled at how easily he understood her predicament. After he left her room, she began choosing clothes for tomorrow. She was no longer excited about her graduation. She finally had a man in her life and she could do anything to keep him.
