Chapter 29: Midnight Temptation
Nikitha’s heart hammered against her ribs like a caged animal desperate to break free. Every nerve ending still sang from Jay’s earlier touches, but now a different kind of heat pulsed through her veins—guilt, fear, and something darker, more forbidden. She hurried upstairs, bare feet silent on the cold marble. The main door creaked open
Tharun stood in the dim porch light, devastatingly handsome in a fitted black shirt that hugged his broad chest and shoulders. A small gift bag dangled from one hand, and in the other, a beautifully wrapped cake box. His smile was slow, predatory yet tender, eyes gleaming with unmistakable hunger as they raked over her barely covered body.
“Tharun…i was just playing with you.. it’s so late,” Nikitha whispered, voice trembling. She stepped out just enough to block the doorway.
“What if someone sees you? The neighbors—”
Before she could finish, Tharun’s large hand pressed gently but firmly against her waist, pushing her backward into the house. He followed, closing the door with a soft click and turning the lock. The sound echoed like a gunshot in the silent house.
“Calm down, Niki,” he murmured, voice low and velvet-rough, stepping so close she could smell his cologne—dark, woody, intoxicating. “Just two minutes. Today was too special to end without seeing you.”
From the top of the stairs, hidden behind the partially open stairwell door in pitch-black shadows, Jay stood frozen. He had heard the door, the whispers. His fists clenched so hard his nails bit into his palms. He couldn’t see everything clearly, but he could hear every breath, every rustle of fabric. His stomach twisted into knots of rage, jealousy, and a sick, unwanted arousal.
Tharun placed the cake box on the living room table and opened it with deliberate care, revealing her favorite red velvet cake. He pulled out a small elegant gift bag and a framed photo from their launch event—both of them smiling, his arm possessively around her waist. The photo looked too intimate now under the low lamp light.
“I wanted to cut this cake with you,” he said, eyes locked on hers with raw sincerity. “Private. Just us. No crowds. No pretending.”
Nikitha’s pulse roared in her ears. She knew she should send him away, but something made her hesitate, then nod. They stood close—too close—as they cut the cake. Tharun fed her the first piece, his thumb deliberately brushing her full lower lip. A smear of cream stayed behind. He didn’t wipe it with a napkin. Instead, he slowly dragged his thumb across her lip, pressing gently, letting the touch linger. His eyes darkened as he brought the same thumb to his own mouth and sucked the frosting off, gaze never leaving hers.
The air between them became thick with tension.
“You look so beautiful even in your nighty,” he whispered, his voice dropping. “I couldn’t stop thinking about you the entire drive here.”
Nikitha’s breath hitched. She gathered her courage and asked the question burning in her mind.
“You have a girlfriend, right? Then why are you doing all this… chasing a married woman? Is this just for a temporary fling or sex?”
Tharun looked at her seriously for a long moment, then spoke with raw honesty.
“Yes, I have a girlfriend. But our relationship has been dying slowly for months. I give her attention, she calls it a waste of time. I give her gifts, she says it’s a waste of money. Her career and family pressure are all she cares about. Honestly… if you were unmarried, I would have boldly proposed to you and told her my decision on her face.”
He let out a helpless breath, vulnerability cracking his confident mask. “I know you’ve been starving for real affection too, Niki. We’ve become more than friends. Let me love you properly. I want to feel alive again… with you. Yes, I want your body—desperately—but it’s not just sex. I want the love behind it. The kind that consumes you.”
His words pierced straight through her defenses. The raw longing in his voice mirrored her own hidden pain. For the first time in years, someone saw her—not just the wife, not just the proper woman, but the woman aching to be desired, cherished, taken.
Nikitha stepped forward on impulse and wrapped her arms around him tightly. Tharun stiffened in surprise for half a second, then crushed her against his hard chest with a low groan. The hug was anything but innocent. His strong arms banded around her waist, palms sliding down to grip her hips, pulling her flush against the unmistakable bulge in his pants. Her soft breasts pressed against him, nipples stiff and sensitive through the thin fabric. She could feel his heartbeat thundering.
While holding her, he dipped his head, lips brushing her ear.
“Didn’t wear a bra, did you?” he whispered hotly, breath sending shivers racing down her spine. “Naughty girl.”
She said no i dont wear when i sleep..
His hands roamed lower, boldly tracing the curve of her ass, squeezing gently. Their faces drew closer, breaths mingling. Then he kissed her.
The kiss was electric—soft at first, then devouring. Tharun’s mouth claimed hers with hunger, tongue sweeping in to taste her deeply, stroking, teasing, dominating. Nikitha moaned into his mouth, kissing him back with equal desperation, her fingers tangling in his hair. The world narrowed to the slick heat of his tongue, the hard press of his erection against her belly, the way his thigh nudged between her legs, rubbing against her dampening core. His hands roamed freely—one sliding up to cup her breast through the nighty, thumb circling her aching nipple, the other slipping under the hem to caress bare skin.
For long, dizzying minutes, she melted into him, lost in the thrill of being wanted so fiercely. The danger, the secrecy, the raw passion—it was intoxicating.
Then reality slammed into her like ice water.
She tore her mouth away, gasping, lips swollen and glistening. “I… I got carried away,” she whispered, voice shaking as guilt crashed over her. “We can’t. Not like this. I’m married… I need time to think. This is too fast.”
Tharun’s eyes were black with lust, chest heaving. For a moment he looked like he might push further, but then he exhaled shakily and nodded. Yet the fire in him refused to die completely.
Instead of stepping back, he cupped her face with both hands, thumbs stroking her flushed cheeks. “One last kiss,” he growled possessively. “Let me taste you properly before I go.”
Before she could protest, his mouth crashed down on hers again—deeper, more demanding, utterly possessive. This wasn’t gentle. This was a claiming. Tharun kissed her like a man starving, tongue plunging, teeth grazing her lower lip, sucking it into his mouth. His hands slid into her hair, tilting her head exactly how he wanted, holding her captive as the kiss stretched on and on.
Ten long, scorching minutes passed in a haze of heat and heavy breathing. Nikitha’s knees weakened; she clung to his shirt, whimpering softly into his mouth as his body pressed her against the wall. One of his hands roamed down, gripping her thigh and lifting it slightly around his hip, grinding slowly against her soaked core through the thin layers of fabric. The kiss never broke—wet, filthy, desperate—full of moans, nips, and swirling tongues. He devoured every sigh, every tremble, marking her with his taste, his scent, his dominance.
When he finally pulled back, both of them were panting, lips red and bruised, a thin string of saliva connecting them for a second. Nikitha’s eyes were glassy with lust and confusion.
Tharun rested his forehead against hers, breathing ragged. “Next time,” he murmured, voice thick and dark, “don’t wear a bra… or anything else. I want to taste every inch of you, Niki. Slowly. Until you forget your own name.”
He stole one final, softer kiss on her forehead, lingering there as if sealing a promise, then stepped back with a final smoldering look and a whispered, “Good night, beautiful. Dream of me.”
The door clicked shut behind him.
Nikitha stood trembling in the living room, lips tingling, thighs slick, mind a whirlwind of shame, lingering desire, and raw fear. Her body throbbed with unfulfilled need. She turned toward the stairs, legs unsteady, and opened the stairwell door.
Jay was right there.
