Kyra

We then established the procedure of him starting to treat one wounded area and I started asking 1 question per wound and he started answering accordingly;

1st Bruise - Right Elbow

My 1st Question - "How did you not know that I am Kyra Oberoi, when you saved me? It's impossible to not know me."

His (sarcastic) Answer - "Arrogant much?, someone has a giant sized ego."
(I glared at him and reminded him that he promised to answer the questions truthfully)

His (new) Answer - I have recently shifted back home from the USA and I have heard about the Oberoi empire, I just didn't know that you belonged to it.
(This seemed like a reasonable explanation.)

2nd Bruise - Left Elbow

My 2nd Question - "Why did you save me, do you have some sort of saviour complex?"

His Answer - "No, I don't have a Saviour complex, you looked like a damsel in distress and I did what any other person would have done in my position. Besides, I got to meet such a beautiful woman and become a real life hero. Who would pass up such an opportunity?"
( I scoffed and blushed at his ridiculous response.)

3rd Bruise - Right Wrist

My 3rd Question - "How did you deal with 6 goons, all by yourself?"

His (Sarcastic) Answer - "They got scared and ran away after seeing my Superman like Physique, and the huge muscles that I had like the Hulk."
(I Couldn't help but uncontrollably laugh at this, which pissed him off and he sarcastically muttered that he shouldn't have saved me and that I was a very ungrateful person. I apologised and tried very hard to control my laughter. Then I noticed that he was also trying his best not to laugh, but I heard a tiny chuckle and it was oh so, masculine.)

4th Bruise - Left Elbow

My 4th Question - "Why have you been so caring towards me? You could have saved me from them and left me somewhere. Are you my fairy godmother or something?"

His (Sardonic) Answer - "Me and a Fairy godmother?, that's laughable. Don't mistake me for anything other than a devil in disguise, Kyra."
(I didn't believe what he said but I couldn't bring myself to say anything.)

His Answer - "Also, I could have left you, but after seeing you in such a terrible state and with a possible concussion, I couldn't in good conscience leave you injured and defenceless."
( His answer made me believe that there were still good people in the world.)

The next bruised area were my knees, but I felt awkward to lift my dress and have his hand be so close, but he assured me that, there was nothing to worry about and he was just going to put ointment on my knees and he would be very quick. Something in me made me believe him and I lifted my dress.

5th Bruise - Right Knee

My (Hesitant) Question - "How are you so good at first aid? You have such a nurturing side to you, do you have a child, perhaps?"

His Answer - "I have treated my younger brother Krish's wounds all his life, he was a very naughty boy who would often get hurt and perhaps taking care of you now, reminded me of him. It may have brought out that side of me, though he is almost like my child."
( Hearing him speak about Krish in a such a loving and fatherly manner made me respect him and wonder about his family and why did it seem like he was his brother's primary caretaker?)

6th Bruise - Left knee

My Question - "Tell me about your family, are you married? And Why did it seem like you raised your brother by yourself?"
(This questions startled him and seemed to have triggered him.)

His (Gruff) Answer - "I'm not married and my family is None of your Business."
(I realised that I crossed a line and apologised to him immediately, which seemed to calm him down a bit.)

The last bruise was on my face and to access that he adjusted me in a way that, I was eye level with his abs and he stood between my legs and held my entire neck in his palm to keep me from moving, because he said that the cut on my face was going to sting and he needed me to be still for that as it was quite close to my right eye.

His masculine scent enveloped me due to how close he was to me and something about being in this position made my mind run with all sorts of wild and inappropriate thoughts. I tried my best to avoid looking below his abs, he had after all given me the same courtesy by not looking at the giant rip in my dress which was across my chest.

It was easy enough to avoid looking down because of the strong grip he had around my throat, it was like he knew how to exert the right pressure, so that I could still breathe comfortably, but couldn't move my head an inch.

Once he was done, I was relieved cause it stung quite a bit, but as a reward, I got to ask him my last question and I decided to make it a light one, because I could still sense the tension in him after my last question and I needed to lighten the mood and see him smile once more.

7th Bruise - Across the Face and dangerously close to the Right eye

My Question - "How are you so Handsome with such gorgeous blue eyes?, and you have flawless skin, What is your skincare routine?"

His (Smug) Answer - "My Handsomeness is God's gift Sweetheart, and I inherited the genes of gorgeous Blue eyes from my mother and for your final question, my skincare routine is...................unfortunately for you, a Secret."
(He chuckled loudly, proud of himself for his witty reply and I pouted like a baby, but secretly I was happy.)

Then as Reyansh was washing up, all of sudden the thought of my family being worried about me, and my security team searching for me, Amit (the driver) needing medical attention, and finally the very important meeting I had scheduled with the US client came to mind. I realised that I couldn't ignore all of this and had to contact my security team to come and get me. I had to get back to reality and deal with my responsibilities.

I saw that Reyansh was about to leave so before he did that, I said, "Reyansh, I owe you."

He responded, "Kyra, I will come to collect the debt, sooner than you know, Be prepared."
