One Night Love Affair

1.

Manik felt hot, edgy and he couldn't sleep.

Muttering a curse, he eased out of bed and looked around the hotel room he was staying in . He wondered if the bar downstairs was still open. He could definitely use a drink to take the edge off. For some reason this place and sleeping alone in this bed was reminding him just how long it had been since he'd had gotten laid. Way too long.

Instead of getting a drink, he decided to take a walk on the beautiful exotic beach outside . He eased into a pair of jeans and pulled a t-shirt over his head. After sliding his feet into a pair of sandals he checked the clock on the nightstand. It was almost one in the morning. He left his room, closing the door shut behind him.

Within no time at all Manik had caught the designated elevator, the one that would take him six levels down to a patio that led to the beach. Most of the hotel was empty, the majority of the rooms were already reserved for other business CEO's, presidents or representatives for whatever company they worked for this business retreat, if you can call it that.

Every year they held business conventions within a different state or country for those who like to travel, and throughout the convention CEO's and other higher-ups would connect with other companies and make deals with them. And this time he was dragged, forced to attend this year convention . The event would last three days and he would be in meetings nonstop the entire time.

Manik inhaled deeply as the scent of the ocean filled his nostrils and after taking a few steps his sandals hit the soft sand, making him feel as if he was walking on marshmallows. The beaches of Maldives was a beautiful place, a developed tourist spot.

Even in the moonlight, Manik could make out the large five-star hotels they were staying in that dotted the shoreline. A number of people from the convention and fellow colleagues had made plans to hang around for few more extra days after the convention was over to relax and unwind. Unfortunately, Manik wouldn't be one of them. He had more business to attend too when he got back to the states and the sooner he finished these meetings the better.

He had been walking near the shoreline for a few moments when suddenly he stopped walking as his gaze took in the stretch of the beach in his path. It was dark and he could barely see because a haze had covered the earth in front of him, some sort of low-hanging cloud. He took a cautious glance around him as his breath hitched when seconds later, a woman appeared out of the mist.

She was absolutely the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, she looked like an angel descended from heaven. He blinked few times to make sure his mind and his eyes weren't playing tricks on him.

His gaze traveled down the length of her body, taking in her white linen pant suit and the long mass of dark, luxurious silky long hair that flowed recklessly around her shoulders and cascaded around her face. He felt his body respond immediately to her presence. He tried to get his breathing back to normal while at the same time wondering what was going on with him. Why was he reacting to her this way?

She had seen him at the same time he had seen her and he watched her reaction. By the look in her big beautiful dark doe eyes, she was feeling whatever it was that he was feeling. It had her in the same intense sexual grip.

Manik could sense it clearly. Just like he could sense the pull he felt towards her, specifically her mouth. She had the kind of lips that made you want to do naughty things to them, lick them, taste them forever. They had a shape and pouty just perfect for kissing and were the kind that any man's tongue would want to wet and tease.
