1 Bending forward
She panted as sweat slide down her cleavage and down her back, dampening her thin see-through racerback top. She tried to slow her heart rate, taking in slow deep breaths and releasing it slowly. She bent down lower, her pert round behind stuck high up in the air.
"Yes, that's it. Lower, lower," his deep sexy voice said.
Her pulse quickened and she swallowed. She bent even lower, pushing to her limits and groaned at the tight stretch.
"That's right. That's the way," he said. He placed a warm hand on her back, the heat burning through her thin cotton top, straight to the smooth sensitive skin of her back. She shivered as rivers of desire snaked down her spine. More sweat beaded her forehead and dripped on the mat on the floor.
"Try to relax and enjoy this," he bent to her ears and said softly, his warm breath tickling her earlobes.
She gasped, her feet wobbled and she almost fell over.
"Whoa there…steady," he said and held her waist briefly. She sucked in her breath at the feel of his warm hands gripping her waist. The heat burned through her skintight leggings leaving her tingling and her pulse racing even more.
He placed a hand on her back and pushed her down gently.
"You are not breathing properly…now take a deep breath…that's right, breathe in…." He instructed in his silky smooth deep voice. "Now…breathe out…"
She followed his instructions but could not calm her pulse. Her heart is threatening to burst at any moment and she stifled a groan of pleasure at the way he was slowly, gently patting her back.
Finally, he removed his hands and stepped away.
"You are doing very well Sabrina," he said. "Just a bit more and you will have mastered the uttanasana," he said.
Then he was moving on to another woman who was also panting and trying to master the standing forward bend or uttanasana, barely touching her toes.
Sabrina wished he could have stayed on a bit longer. Noticing he had walked away to the other side of the room full of grunting women stretching and contorting their limbs to the different poses he taught, she relaxed and bent easily to touch her toes.
She only had trouble when he is too near and she could barely breathe, much less contort her human-shaped body into weird poses that were supposedly good to keep the body supple and toned. Not that she really needed to do that. She is a dragon shapeshifter and her true form is a dragon, not this human shape. She can shape shift into any female human shape she likes. Tall, short, thin, fat, young, old, fair, dark. Anything.
No, the only reason she is in this yoga class was because of the instructor, Kavan Chokshi. The deliciously sexy yoga instructor with a tall, toned body, gorgeous tanned skin, dark deep brown eyes ringed with thick long lashes, black hair and a deep distracting dimple on his cheek.
She first met him when she bumped into him accidentally. She had just finished shopping with her "pretend" children, Zi An and Xin Yi, and telling them to stop arguing when she walked into Kavan and almost fell over. He had gripped her waist and pulled her up, just like in some rom-com movie and she was in love. He was so gorgeous, she almost put her arms around him and kissed him. She would have done it if they were not in a public place and with her two "pretend" children standing there gaping at them too. Instead, she had acted appropriately by thanking him and apologising for walking into him and then grabbing the two children, went on her way.
After that encounter, she tried to track him down and managed to find out that he is a yoga instructor in a yoga studio at the mall. She immediately signed up for yoga sessions at the studio especially for all of the classes taught by Kavan, which was twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, every day.
It was not like she has anything better to do. She doesn't have to work. Her fake 'husband' is their Sea Jade Clan leader, Dashen Long, and in the human realm, he is a rich tycoon with a fleet of cruise liners. Her responsibility was mostly as a nanny to his children, Zi An and Xin Yi, who are both Dashen's heirs from his human perfect match, Meera Shah.
Sabrina was forced to be Dashen's fake wife in the human realm for more than 10 years ago for appearances' sake before he met his perfect match. After he met his perfect match, Meera refused to marry him for real so Sabrina remained as the 'official wife'. So, officially, in public, she has to pretend to be the children's mother.
At home, Sabrina has her own living quarters in another wing of the extensive mansion while Dashen and his family lived in another wing. However, Meera and Dashen are always away and they always left their children under her care. She suspected Meera's reasons for not marrying Dashen was so that Sabrina will be around as a free babysitter. It sure gave the couple plenty of time to travel, go on holidays and pretend to check on the cruise liners. Fortunately, the couple doesn't mind that Sabrina hired several maids and tutors to help take care of the children so that she has time to go for her yoga classes. Dashen and Meera mostly left her alone and Dashen is generous to a fault. He gave her an unlimited credit card and a banking account which never depletes. So, she can spend on whatever she wanted in the human realm.
Yet, the one thing she wanted in the human realm is quite far out of reach. She surely couldn't buy the gorgeous Kavan. She doubt that she could offer him money to sleep with her. That would be highly offensive. Not that she wouldn't have tried but she didn't want to scare him off or lose him before she even get a taste of him.
Now, as she moves her hands toward the front of the mat and move her feet toward the back, bent her knees and lifting her tailbone to the ceiling in downward facing dog, she glanced at Kavan walking around the studio. His tall frame, lean and toned with sculpted muscles that are not too bulging, his long slender fingers like those of a piano player and his long powerful legs encased in a pair of loose yoga pants. She noted the bulge between his legs and wondered at his size. She guessed he must be quite large. She assumed that since he is so skilled at the various yoga contortions, he must be quite skilled in the bedroom too. She licked her lips and almost fell from her pose again thinking of what she would do with Kavan if she could get him alone in a room with her.
"Sabrina…you are not focused today," Kavan was suddenly next to her again and this time, her legs wobbled and gave way.
She would have fell with a loud thump if he had not caught her. Again. His toned arms circling her waist as he caught her. Their eyes caught and a current passed between them. Her breath caught in her throat and she gulped. Her heart is pounding loudly in her chest. She could feel the heat from his body touching hers. His strong hands gripping her tiny waist. She finds herself falling deep into his deep chocolate eyes.
Time stood still.
Then he had pulled her to a standing position and released her quickly, as if she was poison ivy.
"Be careful. You could've injured yourself," he said and turned away uneasily.
The session ended without any other incident. She dabbled around and waited till the others have left before she walked up to him to try to talk to him. Her usual routine.
"So, Kavan, why is it so hard for me to get some of the poses right?" she asked. Yoga was the only topic that she could think of.
He was rolling up his yoga mat. He finished rolling it and turned to her. He looked at her warily.
"You need to focus more, I find you are quite distracted today," he replied.
"Hmm…maybe," she was not paying attention to him. Instead, she was admiring his body and his ridiculously thick eyelashes.
"Well, time to go, bye and see you tomorrow," he said, quickly gathering his things and walking away.
It was obvious he was trying to avoid her.
Sabrina ran after him and placed a hand on his shoulder to stop him.
"Wait! Kavan," she said.
He turned around and stared at her. She is certain she saw a glint of desire in his eyes before he blinked and it disappeared.
