The Evil Twin?
Page 24
He moaned throwing his head back reaching to squeeze my breast through the silk blouse that clung to my chest.
“I will fuck you!!” I snarled unzipping the zipper on the side of the blouse letting my breasts tumble into his eager hands.
“Yeah baby,” he said pulling me to him to take the aching nipple into his mouth while he pinched and tugged on the other. Liquefied lust surged between my legs flooding my inner folds with the growing need to be filled by him.
He groaned when I pulled my nipple out of his mouth to reach for the clasp on his dress pants. I pushed his pants and boxers down letting the convulsing beast spring into my awaiting hands. I took my lips to the hot tip unable to stop myself and took him into my mouth.
I let him out of my mouth and took him into my palm stroking him while I squeezed the thick base of his hardness to let him come slowly, just the way he liked it. I felt the thrills pass through my body at the idea of looking into his eyes while he exploded inside me. I hastily lifted up my skirt and pulled down my damp panties and lifted myself to angle myself over him.
“I will deal with you later,” I warned guiding him into me to the hilt.
We moaned in unison as my inner muscles took in his delectable hardness and cocooned him never wanting him to leave.
“Fuck me baby, show me how mad you are with me.”
I threw my head back letting my hair sway wildly as I lifted myself up and down along his long shaft.
“Why are you so big tonight?” I rasped as he dug his fingertips into my ass cheeks guiding me through the rhythmic movement.
“Are you complaining about it?” he barked taking one hand to my mound as he continued to guide me in my dominant position. I groaned unable to speak when he started rubbing my clit with the back of his hand. The sensations triggered by a swollen clit that was being expertly tantalized by able fingers combined with his hardness impaled in me completely were turbulent, taking me over the edge.
“Come for me baby, I am ready,” he urged stroking my clit with his fingers.
I let out a shriek as my body stiffened to the rush of blood I felt through every single vessel, and the pleasure soared through my body with the warmth that filled the gaps inside me to perfection.
I lost control of myself and crashed onto him gripping him tightly as I felt the heat from deep below flare outward. I lay in his arms enjoying the spasm after spasm as my inner muscles contracted and released around him.
“I am still fucking angry with you,” I gasped for air against his chest that heaved up and down heavily.
“Again,” he ordered, rolling to his side to come on top of me while staying inside me.
He pulled himself out and thrust back in sending jitters through my body.
“Again,” I demanded running my palms along his well- built thighs.
“Oh baby…I want to hear you say it, what do you want again?”
“Did you ditch your brother’s bachelor party for this?”
“Yes, now say it,” he ordered.
“I…I want you to fuck me…I want more…” I stuttered gasping for air as he plunged into me at an angle hitting the spot that sent me wailing in the middle of the night. He pounded away with a relentless rhythm, and I felt my climb come to me. I let go giving up every single thought in my mind only to delve into the sea of desire and soared through the heavens like a shooting star.
Reyan planted a kiss on my sweaty forehead and wiped off the bead of sweat lingering on my jawline.
“Are you still mad?”
“I am, but I am exhausted,” I said burying my face into his silk shirt.
“Mission accomplished,” he chuckled holding me to him.
“Not funny. I will deal with you in the morning, now get out.”
“I am not going anywhere,” he nuzzled my ear.
“Is it morning already?” I asked my breathing starting to steady.
“It’s not love, it’s barely ten o’clock. Go back to sleep.” I could hear the music downstairs from the party.
“You are supposed to be in Vegas, what are you doing here?”
“I am here for my girlfriend.” He wrapped his arms around my bare waist and pulled me back to him.
“I hate you for making me speak to my mother like a bitch tonight,” I growled pulling away and added, “Why didn’t you tell me I had a mother that was looking for me? I hate you...”
“I know, I love you too baby.” He left a trail of kisses along the side of my neck.
“I was such a bitch tonight.”
“It’s okay, easy,” he said rocking me in his arms.
“What are you doing here when you were supposed to be getting lap dances in Vegas?”
“Wrong question sweetness.”
“What?”
“Ask me the question you asked me about your aunt’s investors.”
“Yes, what the heck?” I gently slapped his chest.
“You asked me to find her investors.”
“I did not, and we never talked about my aunt wanting an investor.”
“He took his lips to my cheek and said, “You did, and it was the night you don’t remember.”
“Was this on Annie’s birthday?”
He nodded winding his arms around me.
“I don’t believe it. I’ve never once thought about getting an investor for her because I wanted to save up the money for her to get started.”
“Annie is proof to everything you said that night.”
“I couldn’t get her to tell me what I blabbered that night.”
“That’s because I wanted to tell you.”
“Did I call you a prick for not telling me everything sooner?”
“Nope.”
“What did I say?”
“A lot of things.”
“Like what?”
He brought his lips to mine and said, “You refused to get out of the car until I gave you an Aussie.”
“What?”
“It’s a good thing Annie couldn’t tell what you were asking me,” he laughed.
“That’s ridiculous…I was angry with you. I wouldn’t have asked you for an Aussie.”
“You did.”
“And what else?”
“You asked me to put a baby in your belly.”
“Eeeeewww.”
“I swear you did.” He smiled, and I could see his eyes gleam in the darkness as he brushed his lips against mine.
“I did not,” I objected pulling back.
“Sweetheart, remember you were drunk and you had just found out that Chloe and Eddie were having a baby?”
“There is no way I would have said that. I never thought about babies,” I said shaking my head.
“You didn’t stop there. You told Annie that she would be your baby’s godmother.”
“What the crap did I drink that night?”
“You were under a lot of duress baby, I am sorry.”
“Reyan, don’t mess with me.”
“I am not baby. I was huffing and puffing when I came to the club and found you in that unruly state, but my anger dissipated as soon as you started talking. I could not stop laughing and Annie was laughing hysterically.”
“What was the big deal with leaving the club? I was pissed off at you for having bouncers watch us.”
“Sweetheart, they weren’t bouncers. They were the hired security so the asshole called Robert didn’t attack you.”
“Oh shit!! I totally forgot about him.”
“That’s what I want to hear…that you don’t worry about him any more.”
A shiver passed through my spine at the thought of facing him or worse being kidnapped when I was in that drunken state. I tightened my hold around him sucking in the warmth from his body.
“What else did I tell you?”
“Well, you told me that you didn’t give a damn about who your real parents were and all you cared about was your aunt and Meg...” He paused looking at me in the dim light from the window and added, “An
d that once you save up enough money to have your aunt start her business, you would be free.”
“Free to do what?” I asked curiously.
“I asked you the same question and guess what your response was?”
“What?”
“You said you would be mine forever.”
“Really? This was the night after you told me about my twin?”
He nodded.
“I don’t believe you.” I rolled away from him in bed, but he was too quick to grab me back into his arms.
“Having cold feet love?”
“No...there is no cold…I mean…I am not a forever kinda person. All good things have to come to an end, and I know that.”
“They don’t have to,’ he said, his warm breath fanning against the nape of my neck.
“Grow up Reyan, and I would have never said any of those things.”
“I know what I heard and I knew that day that no matter what, I wasn’t going to let you go.”
“You have to let me go now so I can get out of this outfit.”
“Vinnie, listen to me,” he said as I tried to get away from him.
“I am not letting you go until you tell me you will be mine forever.”
“I don’t know what forever means.”
“I am sure you do because you told me what that means to you that night.”
“That’s just bullshit!!”
“I love you baby, and I know I will love you forever.”
His tone was soft yet it hit me deep inside. I turned around slowly to look at him and placed my palms on his cheeks.
“I am yours Reyan. I’ve had too many things happen in my life to believe in happily ever after’s,” I managed to say before I lost control over my voice.
“I got you baby, I got you.” He rocked me to sleep with his heart banging away against my cheek.
I want this forever. Is it possible?
*****
I sat on the bed in the hotel room staring at the waves hitting the sand. The cool morning air blew gently bringing in the fresh smell of flowers and sunshine.
Three days of fun at Reyan’s brother’s wedding on the beachfront had come to an end, and I didn’t want to leave. I remembered the morning after my outburst when I woke up in Reyan’s arms as a new person. It was as if I was reborn, and I had nothing to worry about in my life. I would never forget the fun I had the past three days. The happiness I saw on my mother’s face when I told her she could call me with the name she picked for me was just unbelievable. She had hugged me with tears of joy running down her cheeks.
“What are you thinking about babe?” Reyan asked stepping out of the shower interrupting my thoughts.
I smiled at him and shook my head. I was all packed and ready to go to brunch with everyone, but I wanted the time to be stuck at that moment--where everyone was under one roof in the hotel which was fully rented for the wedding and Reyan just a few feet away looking at me with his deep eyes.
Is this what forever meant?
He walked over to where I was sitting and sat next to me. I could feel the heat from his body soothe my body. I rested my head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around me.
“What’s wrong?”
“I don’t want to go.”
“We can skip brunch if you don’t want to go. We can just stay here until we get booted out.” He nuzzled my neck sending thrills down my spine.
“No...I...don’t want to go back. I don’t want to leave this place.”
Reyan laughed and said, “I can get our rooms extended for another week, and we can have an extended vacation.”
“Aargh…that’s not what I meant.”
“I know I am messing with you. Have you talked to your mother?”
I shook my head realizing how, in a span of one week, I had gone from not wanting to do anything with her to being referenced as her daughter.
“I don’t know what to tell her. I feel something for her now, but that doesn’t mean I am going to change in a snap and not want what I have had all my life.”
“I don’t think that’s what she is asking you to do.” Reyan ran his fingers through my hair.
“Why is she going back to India then?” I whined.
“Why wouldn’t she go back to India? That’s where home is for her, and she has a lot of things she has taken over after your father passed away.”
“But…but…”
“You want her to stay here and not go to India?” He looked at me as I stared back at him in silence.
“You should talk to her about it.”
“Noooo…I can’t…I…” I stuttered feeling overwhelmed with the range of emotions I felt just thinking about asking a person who would probably do anything for me. I knew I couldn’t ask her to stay back. She had a family back in India that she needs to go back to.
My family.
“I can’t do that, she needs to go back,” I said softly.
“We can go visit her in India,” he winked.
“Maybe…”
“It’s not a maybe sweetheart. You will need to make a trip soon to India. There is an entire town waiting for you.”
“A town?”
“Yes, more like a county now. Thousands of families are employed by the many industries your family owns and they have done that for generations.”
“What the crap? Are you serious?”
“Yup…why would I kid about that?”
“Okay, I am never going to India. I can’t deal with that stuff. I barely survived the wedding with all my relatives showing up uninvited. It’s too much.”
“There is no hurry, Vinnie. I don’t think your mother wants you to take over the family company just yet. She is just glad she found you,” Reyan said walking back into the bathroom.
“Wait!! What do you mean take over?” I followed him to the bathroom and stood staring at him.
“Sweetheart, your mother is the president of the Singhal Group of Companies, and you are expected to take over the job when you are ready.”
My heart took a nosedive into my stomach, and I felt sick to the stomach.
“I…I don’t want any of that…I just can’t deal with such stuff.”
“You’ve got to be kidding me baby. You have all the raw materials you need to run a company. I have seen the business plan you created to scale your aunt’s business,” he said firmly and added smiling, “You do need some polishing, and I can help you with that. There’s nothing Nandini Singhal can’t do.”
“Don’t call me that.”
“Why is it that your mother can use that name.”
“Because she is my mother!!” My voice was way more elevated than I expected it to be, and I caught the surprise in Reyan’s face before he started laughing.
“You are just freaking out about the responsibilities you will have in the future,” he teased.
“No, I want to do what I like to do. I want to write not deal with corporate crap.”
“Your mother managed to do both for the past couple of years. I am sure you can do that too.”
“I can’t, and I don’t want to.”
“You don’t need to decide right now baby, think about it.”
“Reyan…I can’t even think about leaving you to go to India. I don’t want to leave you.”
His face glowed with sheer joy as he cupped his palms on my cheeks and said, “I love you baby. I want you all to myself, but I am willing to share.”
Chapter 25
“Great!!!” I cursed under my breath when my tote toppled over on the floor from the bar counter. It was my second day at work after a week long vacation that was more than a vacation. I learned so many things in one week my brain was almost toast.
My mother was leaving for India, and I told her I didn’t want to go to the airport to send her off. I knew I would be an emotional wreck and decided to avoid the situation all together. I couldn’t believe how life changing the one week was for Annie, Neel, and me.
I picked up the small ma
keup pouch Annie had got for me and dusted it off. I smiled wondering how serious Annie was with the guy she met at the wedding. The guy was my cousin who flew in to meet me, and Annie liked him the moment she set her eyes on him. He was charming and sweet, and I knew he would be great for Annie. She was torn when he had to fly back to India the day after the wedding and sulked with a bucket of Tiramisu ice cream.
Neel, on the other hand, finally told his parents who were at the wedding that I wasn’t his girlfriend and that he was gay. It was devastating to watch his mom when he broke the news to her, but watching Reyan talk to Neel’s parents was eye opening for me. He took the time to explain everything to them and eventually his mother didn’t care about her son’s sexual orientation.
I reached for the last piece that had fallen from my tote and tried to remember when I put it in my tote. I turned around to find the name Nandini on the face of the envelope. It was the envelope my mother had given me when I met her at the hotel, and I had put it away not wanting to read it. I stared at the envelope debating if I should put it through the shredder or if I should read it and then decide what I wanted to do with it.
I took a deep breath and looked at the ceiling hoping the tears would not surface. The deep pain of rejection, the pain I felt when I wondered everyday for months if my parents left because they didn’t want me, resurfaced and gripped my heart.
The man who chose to give away a newborn baby for his superstitious beliefs did not mean anything to me, and I did not need to read the letter. I stopped before taking the step towards the back office where the shredder was and remembered how I had misunderstood my mother. I didn’t know until a week ago that she didn’t come looking for me only because she lost my twin.
I sat at the bar stool and slowly opened the envelope. A picture of a young girl holding a trophy and a handwritten letter popped out of the envelope. I looked at the smiling face of my twin for the very first time and felt the instant connection. I looked at the smiling face for a moment and opened the letter and my heart started to beat rapidly as I started reading the letter.
