Episode 4

Neha decided honesty was the best way forward. “I was on the phone with Sheena and she has some news to give you. And that’s all I can say at the moment.” “I don’t like this. Does this have something to do with my sister and that playboy boyfriend of hers?” Neha blinked. Damn it! Why did he have to be so perceptive? Not knowing how to respond, she remained silent. Kabier’s angry gaze fixed on her. “Looking at your expression, I guess that I was bang on target. In any case, I have let this doomed relationship continue for far too long. So, let’s get to the point. What crazy scheme has my sister hatched that she has enlisted your support to convince me of? Tell me. I insist.” Aaryanhad been worried over Sheena’s increasing familiarity to Rajiv Mehra ever since he had learned that they were an item. But he had let it be thinking that it would fizzle out. Sheena had never been serious about any of the guys she’d dated in the past, so he hadn’t given this relationship another thought. But instead of ending things with Rajiv, Sheena was getting more and more involved with this rich, playboy, shipping magnate. He had tried to warn Sheena on several occasions in the past, about his dislike of the situation; but in her usual affable manner she had always brushed him off. In the past few days, however, he had sensed that something was up. Sheena was more on edge than usual and since last night she was behaving like a contented cat that had eaten all the cream. Sheena was up to something and her two friends would blindly support her in any of her crazy schemes. Neha stared at Aaryanin disbelief. Was he for real? This was Sheena’s news and no way was she telling him anything. “Well you can insist all you like, but I choose not to tell you anything and that’s the way it stays. This is not my news to give you and you’ll know when it’s time for you to know,” she tossed her head back and started to walk away. Now, he was convinced that something serious was afoot. His emotions were already running high since morning, ever since he had heard the report of the investigative agency and learned that Neha was in a position to cause serious damage to not only his company but to his grandfather and sister as well. People like her didn’t give any importance to friendships or relationships if they came in the way of their own personal agenda. Besides, who the hell did Neha think she was? She might have gotten her way so far because of her relationship with his grandfather. But he was in charge now. None of his employees in the past had the audacity to simply walk away from him without giving him the explanation he desired. He hated evasiveness. If he asked a question, he wanted it answered. This situation was going to be no different. He caught her elbow, stopping her and whirled her around. The sudden motion caused her to stumble but before she could fall, he caught her waist and pulled her forward. A confused expression clouded her eyes. Aaryanstared at her. For the second time today she was in his arms. Her chest rose and fell and her rapid breaths fanned on his face. He inhaled her soft, sweet scent and his body hardened a fraction. His face was so close to hers, his lips mere inches away from hers. He just had to angle his head a little and he would be kissing her. God help him! He actually wanted to kiss her! Aaryanwas going to kiss her! This realization hit Neha the instant she was in his arms, with her hands against his chest and her face looking up into his. She saw it in his eyes, the desire that had flared up in their honeyed depths. Her mind told her that she ought to stop him before the kiss became a reality. But her body had stopped responding to her mind the moment he had hauled her against him. His hands moved from her waist to her back, bringing her closer to him and every inch of her body under his hands was on fire. Oh God! She wanted him to kiss her. Aaryanpressed his lips to Neha’s and was lost. Initially, she was too shocked to react. But he kept brushing his lips against hers, slowly increasing the pressure of his lips, coaxing her to respond and in the next moment she returned his kiss with an ardor that both surprised him and enticed him further. He ravished her lips, elated that she was responding. She let out a soft sigh and that small invitation was all he needed to thrust his tongue inside and capture her lush mouth. She tasted like chocolate. Sweet, molten and hot and he couldn’t get enough of her. His hands moved with a will of their own. One hand roamed up her body and caught her nape angling her head to give him better access to her mouth and the other hand spread on her back pushing her closer to him. Neha couldn’t believe that Aaryanwas kissing her. She had never been kissed so thoroughly ever before and she didn’t want it to stop. Her mind stopped thinking and simply reveled in the sensations. She was melting in his arms, pushing herself against him to experience more of these newly awakened feelings. She kissed him back with an intensity she never knew she possessed. A sane corner of her mind warned her that things were getting out of hand, but Neha pushed that thought away.
