The Mask Of Desire Ch 05

5.1: The Guilt Hit

Madhuri woke to the harsh glare of Hyderabad's morning sun, her head throbbing with the echoes of last night's dream—Ishaan's grin, his hands, the wolf's howl still clawing at her senses.

She rubbed her temples, the weight of it all pressing down: the stalker's taunts, the terrace humiliation, the way her own body betrayed her with shivers she couldn't control. Her reflection in the vanity mirror stared back, hollow-eyed and accusing. "What's wrong with me?" she whispered, voice cracking.

Her phone buzzed on the nightstand, snapping her out of the spiral. A text from Ramesh, glowed on the screen: "Hey love, been missing you. Work's moving fast here, so I might be back home earlier than expected. How's everything going over there?" Her chest tightened—guilt surging like a tide. Ramesh, steady and kind, halfway across the world, oblivious to the mess she'd stumbled into.

She clutched the phone, thumbs hovering over the keys, but no reply came. How could she tell him? How could she even hint at the shame gnawing at her? The memories hit hard: the nude pics she'd sent, that video call where she'd bared herself to a faceless stranger, the transparent saree clinging to her skin as she paraded on the terrace, neighbors eyes boring into her.

And Abhi—her sweet, fragile boy—somehow tangled in this too, the way she looked for Ishaan in front of her son, burning in her mind. Ishaan. The name alone twisted her gut.

"Was it really him behind the mask?" The thought made her nauseous, but the dreams—the way they blurred into reality—kept dragging her back.

"He's just a charming teenager, it can't be him. Shake off those thoughts, Madhuri. You're 36 now, not 18," she muttered, resolve hardening.

"This ends now." She couldn't let this ruin her—her honor, her reputation, the life she'd built.

She'd been a fool, caught in some sick game, but she was done playing. She stumbled to the window, still wide open from the night, and slammed it shut with a bang that echoed through the room.

Her fingers fumbled with the latch, locking it tight. The key glinted in her hand—a tiny, mocking thing. She glared at it, rage bubbling up, and hurled it across the room. It skittered under the dresser, lost in the shadows. "Stay there," she spat, as if it could hear her. "No more late-night intrusions, no more games."

After she is done with her bath, her phone buzzed again—DevilzMask: "You locked me out? Cute.. but I'll find a way in."

Her stomach lurched, but she swiped it away, refusing to engage. She yanked on a Grey tailored jumpsuit, black pumps, the fabric a shield against the chaos, and grabbed her bag. Work. Normalcy. She needed to drown this madness in routine.

Downstairs, Abhi slouched at the breakfast table, picking at a dosa, his eyes darting to her then away. He wanted to say hello but couldn't bring himself to, especially after yesterday's events.

Ishaan sprawled beside him, like he's part of the household, exuding casual charisma with a sly grin as he sipped his chai. "Morning, Auntie! Off to work this early? Join us for a cup of chai," he said lazily, his eyes lingering on her a bit too long. She paused midway, unsure of how to respond.

He flashed a playful, flirty grin and added, "Abhi mentioned yesterday that you were asking about me. Anything I can help with?"

She stiffened, fingers gripping her bag as they shook slightly, "Its nothing.. I've got a busy day ahead. Eat up, both of you." Her words were clipped, her eyes avoiding Ishaan's. She couldn't look at him—not with those dreams still festering, not with the suspicion clawing at her.

The office was a blur of files and meetings, but it couldn't silence the noise in her head. Every ping of her phone by the stalker made her flinch, expecting another taunt, each time.

By noon, she sat at her desk, staring blankly at a spreadsheet, Ramesh's text still unanswered. "Good to hear, Ramesh! I'm fine, just busy," she finally typed, a lie that felt like ash on her tongue. She hit send, then buried her face in her hands.

She had to end this—before the stalker, Ishaan, or her own warped desires dragged her any deeper. "But how can I?" The question gnawed at her as the day wore on, the locked window a fragile barricade against the storm she knew was coming.

5.2: The Simmering Flame

The night draped Madhuri's home in a sticky, humid haze, the ceiling fan whirring uselessly above her locked bedroom door.

Her husband still oceans away, leaving her alone with her spiraling thoughts.

The terrace started brewing her—sheer saree fluttering against bare skin, no panties beneath, walking all the way out in the open—She hadn't meant for the thoughts to take root, but they'd bloomed anyway, dark and insistent.

She'd bolted her door ever since, double-checking the window, terrified the stalker could slip through shadows.

Yet, the fear twisted into something darker—filthy fantasies clawing at her mind.

She sat on her bed, wearing a crimson nightie clinging to her curves. her phone trembling in her hand as DevilzMask's latest message glowed: "Looks like someone's too scared to have some fun."

Her breath hitched, a shiver racing down her spine, tries to control herself but the itch hasn't completely gone, a volcano stirring somewhere deep she couldn't point.

She typed back, slow, defiant: "You don't scare me—stay away" But her fingers lingered, her pussy clenching at the lie—she wanted him closer, not gone.

The chat blinked—his reply: "Ok, Miss Stark from Winterfell. What if I pin you to that bed, peel that nightie off with my teeth, taste every inch till you beg me to stop—and I wouldn't.. That scary enough?"

Madhuri's eyes widened, her thighs pressing together as heat flooded her. His words dripped like honey laced with venom—slow, deliberate, sinking into her bones.

"Disgusting pig," she muttered, her hand betrayed her again, grazing her nipple—hard, needy—through the satin. Pride roared no, but her body screamed louder.

She typed, hesitant: "I'm stronger than that! Wouldn't let you even touch me." Sent. A taunt, she wanted him to bite.

Across the city, Ishaan lounged on his balcony, and his grin widened, feral. "Stronger, huh?" he murmured, voice low and rough. "Let's see how long that lasts"

He typed back, pacing it out, raw and dark: "You can't stop me from spreading those thick thighs, darling—licking that sweet pussy till your screams wake the street. You'd claw the sheets, begging for my cock, and I'll watch you break" He hit send, leaning back, his dick twitching at the thought.

Madhuri's phone buzzed, and she opened it, her breath catching at his filth. "Till your screams wake the street"—the image slammed into her, her clit throbbing unbidden.

Her hand slipped lower, grazing her navel, then lower still, hovering over her panties. She typed back, voice trembling in her head: "You're a monster—I'd never beg someone like you!"

A reply came quick: "Oh, you will, my wild flower—I'd carve my name into your soul with every thrust, leave you dripping and owned" Her fingers brushed her pussy through the fabric—soaked, traitorous—and a soft moan slipped out, her shame dissolving in the heat.

The sound jolted her awake. Gasping, she switched off the phone, yanked the bedsheet tight, and curled into the dark, alone and fragile.

5.3: The Ember's Edge

The next afternoon baked Hyderabad in a relentless sun. Madhuri stood in the kitchen, a yellow saree draped over her curves, the blouse hugging her chest, her navel peeking out as she chopped onions for biryani. Her phone sat silent on the counter—no texts since last night's filth—and the absence gnawed at her, a restless ache she couldn't name.

She'd barely slept, his words looping in her head, her locked window a flimsy shield against the fantasies clawing free. The doorbell rang, sharp and sudden, and she jolted, wiping her hands on her pallu as she opened it—Ishaan stood there, all charm and muscle in a black tee, his grin innocent but his eyes glinting.

"Namaste, aunty—Abhi said you're making biryani? Couldn't resist," he said, voice smooth as silk, stepping inside like he owned the place.

Madhuri smiled, tight-lipped, her pulse quickening—his presence felt too close, too real after last night's texts. "Haan, come in, Ishaan—Abhi's upstairs," she replied, turning back to the stove, her saree swishing against her hips.

He lingered, leaning against the counter, his gaze tracing her—her thick waist, the sway of her ass—and she felt it, a prickle on her skin. "Smells amazing already, aunty—you're a sorceress," he teased, his tone light but edged, testing her.

Abhi slipped downstairs then, unnoticed at first, his eyes flicking between them. Ishaan's text from earlier—"Let's push her today, bro—you know what to do"—burned in his mind.

"Yeah, Ishaan's right, Maa—you should c-cook for us more," Abhi piped up, voice shaky, and Madhuri glanced at him, surprised.

"You two ganging up on me now?" she laughed, but Ishaan stepped closer, brushing her arm as he reached for a glass.

"Not ganging up—just appreciating, aunty. A woman like you'd make every guy jealous of uncle," he said, low and deliberate, his fingers lingering on the counter near her hand.

Her breath caught, his words a mirror to the stalker's heat—slow, seductive, sinking in. "Enough talk—go sit," she snapped, turning away, but her nipples hardened under her blouse, her body a traitor.

Ishaan smirked, catching Abhi's eye—a subtle nod passing between them. "Uh, Maa, can we help? You've been doing so much," Abhi mumbled, flustered. Madhuri waved a hand. "Fine—stir the rice, Ishaan. Don't ruin it. You cut the tomatoes sweetie."

He moved beside her, too close, his arm grazing her saree as he stirred, his voice low, dropping: "I'm careful with precious things, aunty—wouldn't ruin a masterpiece like this"

Madhuri froze, his breath warm, the double meaning slicing through making her blush. "What—?" she hissed, stepping back, but her pussy clenched. Abhi watched from the corner table of the kitchen, his dick twitching in his shorts.

"You okay, aunty? Looking flushed—need a breeze?" Ishaan pressed, eyes locking hers, bold and unyielding.

She glared, "I'm fine—focus on the rice," but her voice wavered, her mind screaming—"Is it him?"—as his friendly flirt stoked the volcano he'd already lit.

Upstairs, DevilzMask's next move brewed—Ishaan's real play masked, her locked room no match for the desire he was unraveling.

Abhi acts busy cutting tomatoes, pretending not to hear, his thrill spiking and Madhuri's crumbling walls were his front-row seat.

5.4: The Slip of Tongue

The evening sun dipped low, casting long shadows across Madhuri's bedroom as she sat on her bed, the saree swapped for a teal chudidhar that hugged her chest and hips. The biryani lunch with Ishaan lingered in her mind—his teasing words, and that brush of his arm still tingling on her skin.

She'd locked her door again, the latch clicking loud in the silence, but it felt futile—her walls were cracking, and the stalker's silence since last night gnawed at her like a missing limb.

Her phone buzzed on the nightstand—DevilzMask: "Miss me yet? Bet you're squirming, all alone in that locked cage"

Her heart thudded, a mix of dread and heat flooding her. "Why doesn't he leave me?" she whispered, her voice barely audible, but her fingers opened the chat, trembling.

His words hit her slow, deliberate: "Don't worry, darling. I'd portal my way through the walls—rip that chudidhar off with my hands, kiss those juicy lips till you're dizzy. You'd melt under me, begging for my tongue to taste your fire" She gasped, her breath shallow—his filth was a blade, slicing her pride, stoking her need.

She typed back, shaky: "You're no Doctor Strange—and I wont beg for anything. Leave me alone." But her desire burned, her pussy already damp, aching for the fantasy he painted.

Ishaan sprawled on his bed across town, shorts low, his cock half-hard as he grinned at her defiance. Her resistance was crumbling—he could smell it through the screen.

He typed back, pacing it out, dark and wild: "Nah.. not Doctor Strange, but your Mister Derange. I'd pin your wrists above your head, suck those fat tits till you're whining, then bury my face between your legs—slow, deep, till you're dripping down my chin. You'd scream my name, and I'd drink every drop" He sent it, leaning back, his pulse racing—her locked room was a stage, and he was directing her ruin.

Madhuri's phone buzzed, and she stared, wide-eyed, as his words sank in. Her nipples stiffened under the chudidhar, a moan catching in her throat. "Stop teasing me!!" she hissed, but her hand drifted up, cupping her breast, squeezing as heat pooled low.

She typed back: "You think I'd scream? I'd easily fight you off—try harder" A taunt, a dare—she craved his bite, her volcano simmering, ready to erupt.

His reply flashed: "Fight me? Oh, darling—I'd tie you down, spread you wide, tease that wet little cunt with my tip till you're sobbing and beg me to fuck you raw."

Her breath hitched, a soft "Ah" slipping from her lips as her fingers brushed her pussy over the leggings. "This guy is a problem!" she muttered, hips shifting, craving his phantom touch.

His silence all day along with Ishaan's taunts had left her edgy, her mind replaying the stalker's tease and her locked door felt like a prison now, trapping her with her own wildfire.

The buzz came sudden, sharp—his message: "Tell me you're not imagining it, Madhuri? Bet you're touching yourself already, wishing I'd storm that room"

Her chest heaved, a flush creeping up her neck. "He is not a man of his words. Dont fall for the trap, girl." she whispered to herself, her voice cracking, but her eyes devoured his words.

He'd attached a thirst trap—shirtless, abs carved, a bulge straining his shorts—and typed slow, seductive: "I'd kick that door down, darling—grab your hips, flip you over, spank that thick ass till it's red. Then I'd grind against you, hard and slow, let you feel every inch through the leggings—make you beg me to rip it off and take you."

Her pussy clenched, wet and needy, his raw passion a torch to her volcano. She typed back, weak: "You're insane—I'd never let you!" But her hand slipped down, rubbing her clit over the leggings, a soft moan escaping.

Ishaan grinned in his room, the photo a bait she'd swallowed whole. Her defiance was paper-thin—he could taste her surrender. He replied, dark and oozing: "Never? Oh, my wild queen—I'd kneel between your legs, kiss up those thighs, bite them till you're trembling. Then I'd lick you open, slow and filthy, tongue-fuck you till your hips buck—leave you gasping, pleading for my cock to fill you up." He sent it, stroking himself now, his control absolute—she was his to unravel, thread by thread.

Madhuri's phone buzzed, and she whimpered, his words shattering her. "What is this Idiot doing to me again?" she gasped, her fingers pressed harder, circling her clit, her other hand fondling her breast, pinching her nipple through the fabric. His photo burned her eyes—those abs, that bulge—and her need snapped.

She hit record, her voice low, husky: "I give up.. I... I can't stop imagining it—your hands on me, your mouth... Huhh... I need to feel your touch in real life, p.. please" She sent it, her juicy lips trembling, the first time she'd bared her desire raw—no alt, no gel—just Madhuri, begging a stranger.

Ishaan's phone pinged, and he froze, her voice hitting him like a drug—needy, sultry, breaking for him. "Fuck," he growled, an evil, naughty smile curling his lips.

She'd crossed the line—voluntarily, openly—and he owned her now. He typed back, slow and wicked: "My dirty little Madhuri—finally admitting it? Meet me tomorrow, 8 PM, KPHB colony parking lot."

He sent it, then added: "Don't show, and I'm gone—no more texts, no more games. Your choice, darling" He ended the chat, leaning back, his dick rock-hard—she'd come, he knew it, her volcano his to erupt.

Madhuri stared at the screen, her voice note a ghost she couldn't unsend, his reply a slap. "What did I just do?" she whispered, panic surging, her fingers still wet from her clit. She typed fast: "Wait—no, I didn't mean it, forget that!"

But he didn't reply, the chat dead, and dread coiled in her gut. She sank into the pillows, her first confession, and he'd trapped her with it. Madhuri clutched her phone, alone, the stalker's silence a void she'd crawl into, her locked room no shield from the desire he'd unleashed.

5.5: The Surrender

Saturday morning crept over Hyderabad, the sky a dull gray promising rain, but inside Madhuri's locked bedroom, the air was thick with her restless heat. She hadn't slept—her voice note from last night, played on a loop in her skull, his reply—"KPHB colony parking lot, 8 PM"—a ticking bomb she couldn't defuse.

The chudidhar lay crumpled on the floor, replaced by a black kurta, her body straining the fabric as she paced. Her phone sat silent—no texts since his ultimatum—and the void clawed at her, her volcano simmering, threatening to spill.

Downstairs, Ishaan lounged on the couch, invited by Abhi under the guise of "hanging out".

He wore a snug gray tank, his abs flexing as he sprawled, his eyes tracking Madhuri when she descended for water. "Morning, aunty—any fun plans for the weekend?" he asked, voice smooth, a glint in his gaze.

She froze, glass in hand, his friendly tone a mask she couldn't trust after yesterday's flirt. "Nothing," she muttered, avoiding his eyes, but her pulse raced—his presence felt too deliberate.

"You look tense, aunty—something bothering you?" he pressed, leaning forward, his grin teasing, innocent yet sharp.

"Why do you care so much?" she snapped, sharper than intended, and turned to the sink, her hips swaying under the kurta. Ishaan smirked, catching Abhi's eye.

Abhi stammered, "Yeah, maa, you've been... quiet. Everything okay?"

Madhuri glared, "I'm fine—both of you, stop fussing"

But Ishaan stood, stretching, his tank riding up to flash his abs. "You're too pretty to be stressed, aunty. How could we not care?" he said, low and warm, his gaze lingering on her curves.

Her breath hitched, nipples hardening, and she fled upstairs, his friendly mask stoking her suspicion—and her need.

Back in her room, she locked the door, her phone buzzing—DevilzMask: "Counting hours, Madhuri?" Her knees weakened, his words a slow burn.

He'd attached another thirst trap—him in a towel, water dripping down his chest, bulge blatant—and typed, deliberate, wild: "I'd drag you into that parking lot shadows—press you against a car, hike that kurta up, grind my cock against your ass till you're panting. Then I'd slip my hand down, feel how wet you are—play with you till you're clawing my back, begging me to fuck you right there"

Her pussy throbbed, as she whimpered, "No way," but her resistance was ash.

She sank onto the bed, his photo searing her—those abs, that promise—and her hand slid down, rubbing her clit over the fabric, slow and desperate.

His words ignited her, and her other hand fondled her breast, squeezing hard again like a puppet following orders. "What am I doing?" she gasped, but her fingers pressed deeper, her volcano erupting in quiet moans, and replied "Oh please. Stop this. I wont come anywhere. You know I am a mother right?"

Madhuri's locked room trembled with her heat, his silence broken just enough to fan her craving.
