"She is fine!" he said with a smile, "You worry about yourself now pumpkin."
Pankhudi trembled listening to him.
With his eyes fixed on her, he walked towards her. She shuddered with every step he took. She tried to retreat, but her retreat halted as her back touched the wall. He rested his palm on the wall as he leaned towards her and smiled. He touched her cheek lightly with the back of his other hand. She could see the tattoo of a scorpion on his hand that was stroking her cheek. She suddenly recalled the last incident when she had seen that hand with that tattoo. Pankhudi was frozen with fear. He lowered his gazed and fixed it on her full breasts that were rising and falling as she was breathing heavily.
She pushed his hand away. He only smiled at her rebellion. He brought his hand back to her cheek and began to stroke again. She didn't dare to stop him again. He took another step and came close enough to feel her breath. Pankhudi tried to push him away, but her attempts were feeble and he was too strong.
She started crying.
"What do you want?" she said in a barely audible voice that came out of her throat as she was choking as she cried. Her legs couldn't bear her weight anymore. She slowly fell to her knees.
"Please stop this, please..." she said, kneeling submissively before him. His eyes growled in pleasure to watch her surrender.
"Get up, Pankhudi." He ordered in a cold voice.
She struggled with herself to get back up. She didn't dare to disobey him since she knew that he had absolute power over her. His compelling presence made her all the more submissive.
He pressed his body against hers as soon as she was back on her feet. He held her face between his palms and ran his fingers through her hair. He leaned more over her and whispered in her ear, "Right now, I want you to stand right there, and be quiet"
She stood like a statue now, half frozen with fear, and half trying to obey his command. He grinned to watch her obey him without question.
He began to run his hand over her. He started with her hair, then down to her cheek. He then stroked her lips with his thumb, pressed her lower lip firmly against her canine hard enough to draw out blood. Pankhudi squirmed out of pain. He then moved his hand down brushing across her neck to her breasts. He boldly touched her full breasts feeling them through the fabric, and squeezed them alternately. Pankhudi could do nothing other than letting out faint moans of protest. Tears flowed out of her eyes continuously.
"Please....stop" she begged in a faint voice.
He said nothing. He didn't even look at her; he continued playing with her breasts. She couldn't take this violation anymore. She gathered strength and pushed his hand away.
He looked at her in anger and suddenly slapped her. He then grabbed her hair roughly and said, "Didn't I ask you to shut up and stand straight?"
He then pulled her violently and turned her around and pushed her against the wall. He pressed his body against her while his hand slipped under her top from behind and began to grope her breasts again. Pankhudi was stunned to see this sudden violent change in his behaviour. She didn't try to stop him anymore. She truly surrendered to her fate.
She could now feel his breath on her body. He was standing so close; she could smell his masculine scent.
"Unzip your jeans" he said in a stern voice, "Don't make me say twice."
She did as she was told. Immediately she felt his other hand crawl onto her ass. He began to feel it and then started groping it. She stood like an inanimate object. There was nothing she could do to defend herself. She felt so ashamed. His hands were on her most untouched body parts, and there was nothing she could do to stop him.
She was just hoping for it to get over soon. But it felt like an eternity because his touch made her skin burn in humiliation. She could only weakly struggle against the wall that she was facing. He suddenly withdrew both his hands and turned her. He had a wicked smile on his lips when he saw her tearful face with such a defenseless expression. She was soaked in her own sweat and tears, and her brown panty was showing through her unzipped jeans. It was such a degrading experience for her.
"Such a sad sad face" he said with a chuckle, "I am moved. I've had a change of heart. Maybe I should leave you alone..."
Pankhudi eyes brightened. She felt she was finally going to be free. She looked at him with hopeful eyes.
"...for now." he continued, "But I will be back...and don't try to stop me. I will enter and leave here as and when I feel like, do you understand?"
Her hopes were shattered. She just stood with her head bowed before him and eyes shut tight. He smirked to watch her beginning to submit. And then he was gone....leaving Pankhudi with a maddening anticipation of when he is going to come for her again.
It took her a while to recover from the disgust of being groped by a man intruding in her very own bedroom. She took of all her clothes and walked up to the bathroom and turned on the shower. She rubbed her body frantically trying to wash off his touch. She was weeping all along.
She calmed down after some time. She was worried how he managed to get the set of keys which Nisha had. She called her up.
The phone was ringing for a long time. Nisha wasn't answering. Pankhudi was worried. The thought that the stalker might have harmed Nisha was too disturbing for her. She kept calling over and over again and finally Nisha answered.
"How are you Nisha? Is everything ok?"
"I am fine. Sorry I didn't answer earlier. The phone was on silent so I didn't notice. I was worried about you Pankh. Are you ok? Is he still bothering you?"
"No..I..I am fine. I just called you up to know if you have an extra set of keys to this house. I actually needed them. It seems I have lost mine."
"That's strange, the other day I checked in my purse, it was supposed to be there, but I don't know how it was gone. Maybe I carelessly put it somewhere, I don't remember."
"Oh, is it? Never mind. Maybe even I left it somewhere in the house itself, I just need to look harder. Don't worry, I'll manage. You take care."
"Pankh...is everything ok? Is anything the matter?"
"Everything is fine Nisha. I am ok. I'll call you later alright?"
"Ok, take care."
