"I spy you!" - 6

Was it ten years since he went away from her life? Not to return again? His company of six months was enough for a lifetime, thought Vasupradha.

Those were the days she was scot-free. She wanted to take a holiday permanently from her job. Yes, Pushpahaasa had promised her a great life ahead. Promised her? No, there was no promise from his side, her conscience told her. She presumed that the life with him would be permanent. She had quit her job, though her boss was not happy with her decision.

After all, she was the best in her job. Come to think of it, Vasupradha did well whatever she did. May be it is her way of life. So, it was very easy to slip into the role of a lover. And Pushpahaasa! My God, he was a great lover! Physically, emotionally and mentally she had become the slave of his attraction, behavior and character. He was totally against her being so submissive.

He had seen her as fast as a cheetah, eyesight as sharp as an eagle ... etc. In fact, he was teasing her always.

“Vasupradha! Each one of your character has been made by God by taking the best character of each of the animal and bird” he used to hold her from the back, nuzzle her neck and whisper like this.

She was pushing him away and used to say, “That means I am an animal for you, you beast!”

He was laughing his head off and was trying to catch her again. She would intentionally get caught in his arms. She loved his strong arms and always wanted to be in them as long as possible.

“Do you know? You are lovely as it is! But when you are angry you look lovelier!” his hands would roam on her body and she used to become hot by desire.

She shook her head and came out of her reverie.

She has to be very careful! She has to again deal with a dangerous spy.

By thinking like this, she became totally alert. She was remembering that once upon a time, she was also a spy, a very good one at that!
