The Love-addict - Chapter 7 - An Excerpt

                                             The Love-addict - Chapter 7 - An Excerpt

                                               

                       “Don’t I look silly in this costume? She asked, as her make-up artiste nodded vaguely, unsure of how to react. If he said yes, she would throw a fit and if he said no, she’d chide him for being a chamcha, a sycophant! But as she seemed to be in a very good mood today, he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and bravely said, “Yes Madam, you should insist on another one!” He kept staring at her, as she threw back her pretty head and laughed heartily. What had come over her today, he thought.

                       She had worn an over-sized, tattered robe with flip-flops, for a scene where she was supposed to be in disguise. “No, Sanket, I will wear this one only! That means that this is the perfect disguise for me! She thought that that costume hid her curves well and made her look bloated and ugly. Her face had been made-up to look like a vagabond. Pock-marked and ugly!

The Love-addict - Chapter 6 - An Excerpt

                                               


                     After a long time, she realized that it was 2 a.m. and she had to catch up on her sleep, if she wanted to avoid dark circles under her eyes, the next day, during shooting. Her eyes were already swollen and red due to crying. She dragged herself to her bed. Involuntarily, her hands reached for the switch beside her bed and pressed it.

                     Rohan jumped from his sleep as the buzzer buzzed in his ears. Had he pressed the switch in his sleep? He was sure he hadn’t. As his eyes opened slowly, he tried to get his bearings. Where was he? As he focused his eyes on the contents of that room, he remembered that he was in Samaira’s house. Had she pressed the buzzer in her room?  Did she need anything? He decided to check out and make sure.

The love-addict - Chapter 5 - An Excerpt

                                          


                                                       

                     During the meal, Samaira had watched Rohan closely. His well-pressed, checked shirt and grey trouser fitted him nicely. His hair was thick and colored in places with red, no doubt due to henna. 

                  He appeared healthy and fit. His face was brown and lean. His dark brown eyes sparkled as he looked at her occasionally and his nose was straight and his chin jutted out proudly. He was above-average in height. He appeared to be very self-assured and hence was probably a man who knew what he wanted in life and how to get it!

              He was gentle and kind. He gave the impression of being a thorough gentleman, though she had instinctively felt that there was more to him that met her eye. His eyes had given him away, as he had appraised her, first when he set his eyes on her, that evening.

                   She felt that she could wrap him around her little finger, if she so desired! She decided to test him.

The Love-addict - Chapter 4 - An Excerpt

                                           


                  "You are most welcome,” she said. As she started sitting on a couch, she tripped on the carpet and landed straight into his arms. He held her briefly, as he supported her and steadied her. She smelt of some heavenly perfume, though the stench of liquor assailed his nostrils, as she opened her mouth to thank him. She had been drinking, he thought, disgustedly. Yet, he couldn’t help noticing her pretty pink lips, soft and inviting. As he unconsciously swept his tongue over his lips, she smiled slightly.

                 So her charm was casting her spell over him too, she thought vainly. His eyes were lowered, as though he didn’t want her to guess his amorous thoughts, but she was sure about what was on his mind. They were all the same, selfish and lecherous, she thought despairingly

                 As the maid bought in tea and snacks, she offered him a cup and asked him about.....

The Love-addict - Chapter 3 - An Excerpt

                                           


                  His eyes flashed as he angrily retorted, “So you have been sneaking on my calls again, haven’t you? You….” She bit her lip even as hot color flushed her cheeks. She had been caught! Still she brazenly offered her explanation, “Chill dear, you weren’t exactly discreet! Everyone at the pool heard about your rendezvous! So I can be hardly blamed. Anyway, may I know why you have deigned to pay a lowly mortal like me a visit?”

                  Just as he was about to retort sharply, a bell-boy cleared his throat tactfully and announced that he had brought her tea. He had earlier rung her door-bell thrice and left after no response.  Now he gleefully observed the tense under-currents between the two and walked away, whistling under his breath.

                 “Hmm, if you don’t want to speak, you can have a cup of piping hot tea with me, unless you’d prefer something else!” she murmured tantalizingly.

The Love-addict - Chapter 2 An Excerpt

                       



                    Then she shook her head. She’d have to trust someone! Taking a chance, she followed him into a taxi. When it stopped at her given address, she heaved a sigh of relief. She offered the fare to the stranger, who politely but firmly refused it. As she walked towards the shabby building, she turned around and was surprised to see that the taxi was still waiting there. She shrugged and walked up two flights of dingy stairs to ring the door-bell.

                     A dour-faced elderly man opened it, frowned and asked her what she wanted. “I’ve come from Lucknow to meet Reena. I was her class-mate in college. After she shifted here, we lost touch.”

                     Gruffly, he asked her, “So what brings you here now, young lady? She has married and now stays in Nashik.”

                      Samaira couldn’t believe her ears and cursed her hard luck. Now she was truly lost. Where would she go?

The Love-addict - Chapter 1 - An Excerpt

                     Self-consciously, she got up from her lounger, wrapping a floral-print maroon

 sarong around her bikini-clad svelte figure and padded across to the hotel’s foyer.

                     She was nearly oblivious to the admiring looks that everyone there gave her, as

 she swayed into the elevator and made her way to her room on the fifth floor. She was

 engrossed in thinking whether she should walk into Mahesh’s room on the 6th floor and

 seduce him. The mood was just right and so was their sexy attire. She stared at her luscious

 curves in the mirror of the elevator and felt elated. God had blessed her indeed. She looked

 like a diva and felt like one too!
