The Rivals

Karthik Ramaswamy and Tanya Sharma used to work in the same company and were close rivals. They hated each other and were bitter enemies. The reason for the hatred was professional rivalry. Karthik was from Chennai and was a talented business professional with an experience of 5 years. Tanya was fresher but used to beat him down by her vivacious nature, good looks and quick wit. Their Boss always used to favor Tanya as she had made him fall for her charms while Karthik was taken for granted. Karthik hated her even mote for using her feminine charms to make the Boss fall and called her a witch. Whereas, Tanya used to have a big laugh with their colleagues on his ebony hued complexion and ugly looks.

Their rivalry rose to its peak when a foreign assignment for bagging which Karthik had worked his tail off for months fell in Tanya's kitty. Karthik decided that he won't work any more in this company and will soon offer his resignation to the Boss. He went to a Star International Hotel - his favorite place and got drunk like a fish that day to forget his sorrows. But the fire of his rage was kindled again when he saw Tanya and her friends land up at the pub to celebrate her success. Now it became impossible for him to control his rage. He thought of a plan to take revenge against Tanya.

There was waiter who was good friends with him. He furtively called him and whispered into his ears, "When that lady in the blue dress over there, orders for drinks put some pills into it."

He slipped a few currency notes into his pocket and the waiter left happily. Karthik thought as he gulped down peg after peg, "I am not going to let her go with everything. She will have to pay the compensation for whatever she has done to me."

He sat at a distance and watched Tanya take sips from her drinks while laughing with her friends. She felt dizzy after a while and asked for a room at the reception to take rest for a while. Karthik flashed a wicked smile as he saw her staggering towards the lift. He followed her and stepped into the lift behind her. His plan was to pounce upon the drugged girl and take her to the room that his friend waiter has arranged for him so that he could teach her a lesson. But he himself was so drunk that he staggered and fell upon her as he stepped into the lift.

"Are you okay Karthik?" Tanya asked as she helped him to his feet. "I have a room here. Let me take you there you should take rest."

"Who are you to tell me what I should do?"

"Shut up Karthik," she said casually and dragged him to her room.

She made him lie down on the bed and she herself lay by his side on the bed.

"Do you think I am going to let you go with the assignment which was my dream?"

"So," Tanya turned smilingly to him, "what are you planning to do?"

Karthik burst out into demoniac laughter and said, "I have drugged your drink. You are going to become unconscious in a while and then I will rape you."

"Then why are you not raping me?" Tanya shocked him by saying it lightly.

"What!" Karthik was baffled. "You have lost your mind Tanya. Do you know what a rape is?"

"Something like this," she pressed her lips on his and kissed him fervently.

"Its me who is going to rape you and not you." Karthik said pushing her away.

"Then what you waiting for?" Tanya hit him lightly on his arm, "silly boy!"

"I have never seen a girl as shameless as you, Tanya."

"Why should I feel ashamed to make love to my man?"

"What?" Karthik was shocked, "I am not your man. We are enemies remember? Drugs have made you oblivious."

"That's what you think."

"Don't you think so?"

"No"

"Ha ha," Karthik laughed mockingly, "then please me let me know what do you think of me?"

"You are the most honest, decent, hardworking and good looking man on this planet. I would love to have a husband like you. But the problem is that you are one of a kind and there is nobody else like you. And you hate me a lot so I thought at least I'll get a night to spend in your arms even if you call it a rape."

"What did you just say?" Karthik turned to her, "handsome? Then why were you making fun of my complexion."

"Didn't you call me a witch?"

"Yes, because you snatched all those projects that were mine."

"Will stop discussing work atleast on the bed?" Tanya pulled him by collar and looked straight into his eyes, "are you going to rape me or not?"

"No,"

"Why?"

"Because its the worst thing to do to a girl."

"Then why were planning to do so?"

"I was drunk and became mad when I saw you celebrating my failure."

"You are such a sweetheart, Karthik." Tanya quickly kissed him on the cheek, "How lucky I would have been if you had loved me as much as you hate me. I would have married you right away."

"Why should a gorgeous girl like you marry a dark and ugly man like me?"

"Because I like dark and handsome men like you."

"Really?"

She pulled Kartik over her and showered him with kisses. Karthik pulled her gown down and caressed her. She dug her nails into his flesh as he sucked her breasts. She moaned out of pleasure as Karthik licked her in between her thighs.

"I love you Tanya," he said as he entered her.

"I have always loved you, Karthik," Tanya said as she drifted to sleep in his arms after their passion has found fulfillment.
