'Khushi!!!'

She opened her eyes in shock, looking at him and his hand around her waist 'Arnav ji? Remove your hands off me.....'

Arnav 'Kyun?'

Khushi 'What, Kyun? You don't have any right over me. And why the hell are you still in this room, get out'

Arnav shaking his head, smirked at her 'too bad I'm not leaving'

Khushi stood up from the bed 'fine I'll go to other room'

Arnav pulled her who fell on him 'tsk not you too'

Her surprised eyes met his mischievous one 'What? Look it is inappropriate to stay in the same room for us. We are no more husband and wife'

Arnav 'Who said?' pulling her close laying her half on top of him.

She tried to free herself 'did you forgot the contract ended few months back?'

He sighed 'I don't believe it neither you should believe it.'

Khushi 'Kya? Kya kaha aapne. Look I don't care what you believe or not, all I know and believe is everything ended between us and there is nothing left'

Arnav 'itna asan hai tumhare liye sab kuch khatam karna' she stopped wriggling in his arm, meeting his eyes 'you never left a chance for me'

Arnav 'I was a fool but why are you playing a fool now? Can't you give me one chance?'

Khushi 'No, never'

Arnav 'You will, because you love me'

Khushi 'Nahiin I don't love you. I hate you'

Arnav 'I know your hate for me. *chuckling* On your own you will accept your love for me. It is a promise'

Khushi 'Kabhi nahiin. Now let me go'

Arnav 'Never!!!'

Khushi tired 'Why don't you understand?'

Arnav 'What? That is you will not be able to resist me and my charm?'

Khushi gaped at him, to his audacity he winked at her. Khushi 'You!!!'

Arnav 'Me what?' pulling her close, their nose touching each other's, lips inch apart. She gulped looking at his eyes on her lips. His husky voice turned little notch low 'bolo' she pushed herself away, scooting at the other end of the bed.

He grinned at her seductively.

Muttering to herself on his shameless behavior for past two days she chopped vegetable to be prepared for dinner.

Khushi 'huh? Hey Devi Maya what is he thinking doing all this? How can he be so shameless?'

Arnav 'Meri shikayath kar rahi ho tum?'

She jumped back in fear, looking back at him thinking of when did he came behind her like a silent cat. Arnav 'care to tell me what it is? I'll be helpful to you not your Devi Maya. Tumhari saari shikayat door kar dunga'

Frowning at him she turned away, her back towards him. He inched closer to her and peeked a look from her shoulder, his warm breath tingling her shoulder blade and side of her face.

Arnav 'What are you preparing for dinner? I'm hungry' his husky voice falling a notch lowers making her shudder.

She turned towards him stuttering 'App....app door rahiye humse....suna aapne...stay away from me'

He smirked slyly at her reaction to his closeness; he knew he realizes the atmosphere sizzles to spark up with fire whenever they two are near and at same place. He very well knew his effect on her as much as she never knew what her effect does to him. Time to show it then.....

Her eyes widened in shock. He was covering her body completely, pressing her in rather a seducing way. His body heat and the strong pressure created a strange sensation within her. Her breathing got ragged and her lips trembled, while her mind was unable to process this new sensation. They had been too close in most or to say many encounters but that was all when they fought like cat and mouse and did not realize anything else then to give each other tit for tat. But now whatever is happening is not the fight to each other but the temptation he is creating between them which evoked strange feeling all over again after the night at hut.

His breathe fanning her face making her feel dizzy.....Arnav looking her flushed face 'Khushi!!!!'

Opening her drug filled eyes because of his close proximity she glanced at his mid night black eyes filled with desires.

Arnav 'can you feel it Khushi?', as if someone splashed cold water on her, Khushi's eyes went wide in alarm. With a force she pushed him back shocking him.

Arnav 'Khushi!!!'

Her eyes in an instant filled with tears 'No!! Don't come near me. Stay Away'

Two days of hell, and she is still not talking with him, let alone talking she always tries to escape from the place he is. He had left her alone giving her space but this is heights.

He marched to the room she is staying in past two days much to his irritation.

'Khushi!!!!'

Khushi 'What are you doing here? Just leave this room, Arnav ji. I'm in no mood to talk right now'

Arnav 'baat toh main bhi tumse karne nahiin aaya hoon'

She looked at him confused, his steps measured, eyes stayed intently on her. Gulping her fear she stood up 'Arna...Arnav ji....don't come near....stay there. What has happened to you? Why are you behaving this way?'

Arnav 'Pyar!!! I've fallen in love Khushi'

She breathed deeply at his words, standing close to her, blocking her in his arms 'till when you will run away like this Khushi'

Looking away at him 'I'm not running away'

Arnav 'you do, trying to run away, ignoring what we feel for each other. You cannot ignore always'

Khushi 'I don't feel anything'

Arnav 'Achha?' Without any warning, sliding away the saree pallu from her shoulder, he slid his hand around her bare waist, caressing and teasing her. She moaned in pleasure but sane part of her mind warned her to push him away, she tried to wriggle from his onslaught but he is not in a mood to let her go.

Khushi 'Arnav ji...*gasping* leave me.....this is wrong'

Arnav turned his voice more than huskier, whispering in her ears 'What is wrong?' sliding her hair on one on her shoulder, his kissed other side of her smooth creamy neck, sucking them. She shuddered falling back on him, clutching on his arm which are caressing her waist. Hit bit on her skin making her hiss in pain, later he rolled his tongue on the area and sucking softly to reduce her pain.

He turned her to face him, his lips never leaving to trail the scorching burning sensation his tongue causing on her. She shuddered clutching his shoulder, His lips did not leave the contact of her while going lower, her throat went dry when his breathe fanned below her neck, a second next the pallu of her saree slid down and later his mouth settled on one of the femininity while other hand was toying with the other one. A current shot through her, she fought with the sensation caused by him with failing resolve.

Arnav 'let go Khushi' that did it.....she came out of her haze hearing his voice and looked down to see him glued to her asserts as if he owns her....No...with a fright she pushed him taking him by surprise.....he looked at her with his eyes dark in desire.

Khushi 'No stay away from me....stay away from me' her tears escaped feeling ashamed of herself for letting her go weak in front of the man who is hell bent on making her feel the emotion she with hard buried inside dark corner. She ran away leaving behind frustrated Arnav, on her not willing to acknowledge their feelings, wanting to turn everything between them out.

Note: Arnav will not force himself on her. But can't promise for him to keep his hands off to himself like a saint as he had done in the six month courtship of their marriage.
