My first Mills & Boons

It was after my economics class session. I was waiting for Rachna's class to end so that we could go to canteen and have our favourite golgappa and chat (well truly speaking we used to eat golgappa (panipuree in south) everyday and slowly were ourselves turning into the same)...so I was waiting for her and this classmate of mine comes with two novels in her hands. Seeing me sitting idly, she told me to hold them for her so that she can go to attend a seminar. Sitting idle I started just navigating through the pages...when I started reading. It read somewhat like this:

"He held her hand and pushed her towards a wall...Emily could feel his body very close to her and smell of his smart after shave filled her nostrils. He traced his lips through her neckline and then his hot lips were on hers."

OOOPPPPSSS....I hurriedly shut the book...could feel my ears burning and guiltily looked around to see whether someone saw me reading it. I felt scandalized and my eyes were wide open and alert. Placing the novel at some distance I mentally criticized the girl and thought 'Tsk..Tsk..what a shameless girl...reading all that stuff'...but after sometime my curiosity overtook my reasoning and I picked up the book and started reading (mind you the same page with all those erotic details).

By the time Rachna came I had read almost ten to fifteen pages...digesting all the romantic details. My head was spinning though my eyes were wide apart and very alert. This was totally an alien domain for me. I told her to read those pages...but it seems she had earlier read some before. So she was pretty casual and ok with it. I felt sheepish when she grinned at my reaction. She told me to read it. I borrowed that novel from the owner, covered it with a newspaper and then took it home. Well I shared my room with my bro so had to keep things hidden from him. Somehow I managed to read that novel without been noticed by folks at home. Well that was my first intro to the world of passion. I guess I grew up without even realizing.
