Piya's POV

He doesn't have anything new to say so he repeats the same thing again and again. If he wants to repeat then he should do it when he is alone.

Why is he trapping me in between his arms and monologues. Don'T know why I'm having goosebumps and the heavy breathing. Am I Claustrophobic? This never happened to me before.

Junior Shekhawat raised my head with his finger on my chin. I try to see the side from where I can escape him but there's no escape route.

Don't you dare

He uses his mind reading talent and pulls my face towards him.

You look very happy, Miss. Sharma. Are you that delighted to work under Ram.

My heart and eyes are screaming yessss while doing cha-cha but I have to be polite to my ex Boss.

No, sir.

Don't know why I'm whispering.

Really? So you still want to work under me? He puts the pressure on my chin when he sees my eyes wavering somewhere else instead of focusing on his eyes.

Noo, a big noo, my eyes say.

That's not up to me to decide, Sir.

With a sudden force, he pulls me by wrapping his hands around my waist. My hands try to avoid contact with him by coming in between.

Sir

You are a very big liar, Miss Sharma

Haww, I may lie sometimes but that does not make me a big liar, probably a small liar.

Not a big liar, Sir, I try to justify.

So you accept that you are a liar, Miss. Sharma

No and leave me Sir I.....

Before I can complete my sentence, he puts the pressure on my waist.

I .. pressures my waist while giving an innocent expression and asking me

What

I try to turn my head to see if someone comes and knocks on the cabin but it seems that no one will come and I have to take the matter in my hands.

I inhaled a long breath to get the full strength and raised my hands to push him. But he already guessed my move and caught my hands.

He twisted my hands behind my back and the little bit of space which we had earlier is gone now. I'm cursing myself.

You are a really stupid person, Miss. Sharma

Hmmm, can't disagree on that.

You are a comedy piece Miss. Sharma

He tries to hide the chuckle but I can feel him laughing at my expense. His eyes shine in sadism in my miserable state.

I...

What's happening to me. I smell his cologne and that's somewhat nice and addictive. My eyes close when he leans his forehead on mine.

I....i si..sir.

His nose touches mine but his nose is pointed and sharp whereas mine is a little bit chubby.

Hmmm, he hum

Si..rr...r

Hmmmm..

Leave.. m..

The moment I tell him to leave me, his hold on my hands gets stronger and my eyes get shut.

Hmmm

That is the only response or sound one can hear in this cabin. I am juggling in his arms.

Sir, please move.

Why?

Your cologne is very strong.

The only reply that came in my head.

He raises the eyebrows and gives a thoughtful look. I thought that he might leave me but as usual the opposite happened.

He pulls me with the force and now my nose is stuck in his neck. He is the sadist because when I told him that I can no longer stand his cologne smell he filled my nose with it. His face is hidden in my hair and mine in his neck. I still try to distance myself but his strong hands are not giving me the perfect opportunity.

I bring my head out of his neck and our nose collides.

Ar..yann..shh

Hmmmm

Lea..v..ouch .. .

I jolt in shock when he applies the pressure on my wrists. My legs are trembling as our thighs are touching and his sharp nose starts roaming on my face.

Arrryyyanshhhhh

A desperate sound comes when his nose comes near my ear.

Hmmmm

Knock knock

Finally!!!

We heard a knock which makes my ex-boss realize that he needs to distance himself from me. He moves away to see who's the person but I pick my bag and run out of the cabin.

Outside the cabin, I see no one then who knocked? Leave it Piya. 

It's good because that knock helped me to come out of Beast's den or I would say Beast's arms (my conscience).

The rest of the day I keep myself occupied in assisting Mr. Ram in his work but my mind was thinking about the incident which happened in the morning. 

I don't know what to say or think about that. And, it's hard for me to believe that I had such moments with him for the consecutive two days. 

He hates me but then how... It's not like we did something except the awkward and unconventional hug. But... Arghh

I never had a boyfriend and now suddenly these things with him are making me crazy. I.... I can report on him to the CEO but I... I didn't feel uncomfortable which is wrong.

From the past few days, his behavior has completely changed. What suddenly happened to him? Did someone perform black magic on him? No, no, who will dare to do that on the Beast...

Foremost, why didn't I feel bad or afraid when he came closer to me. I was more afraid of being caught than him doing something. I should feel bad, right? I mean he is a stranger, not exactly as he's my boss but a stranger kind of boss?

I don't know anything about him. He is neither my friend nor we ever had a proper conversation. Then how did this 360 degree change happen and what actually happened to me that I'm just letting things happen?

Do I feel good being in his arms? Hmmm, maybe, I mean it is nice, comforting and good but, arghhhh.

God, please help me to understand what's happening to me and him? Crazy fellow, always made my life difficult, earlier with the tasks and now with the unexpected and awkward hugs.

Should I talk to him? But what will I say? Will he answer?

Best option, I'll pretend as if nothing happened and will avoid him as much as possible. Anyhow now I don't have to report to him so there is no way I need to face him on a regular basis.

Aryansh's POV 

Why is that so, Miss. Sharma?

I whisper in her ear but she shrieks and stumbles in fear. Before she falls on the floor, I catch her in my arms, like yesterday.

I stare at her face to give my anxious heart a reason to calm the beats. These days my heart is always looking for her and a single glimpse of her makes him content. Don't know what evil magic she is doing on my poor heart.

I heard her telling me to leave so I dropped her. She falls on the floor.

This is her punishment for calling me the beast. Does she think that I forgot her weird name for me. She calls me the beast again. This is enough.

Beast, right? That's what you call me, isn't it?

Sirr, sorry l, I didn't mean it

How dare you, Miss. SHARMA

She pulls my hand away from her soft chin and drops it on her lap. I point out the place where she keeps my hand. It is near her naval and..

I don't mind but she does and she pushes my hand away upon late realisation.

What the

Sir, it's your fault because you didn't help me earlier.

Before we further continue our chatter, Dad barges into my cabin and yells at us for bickering like small children.

This is weird because Dad never came without knocking but when Ram also appears on Dad's call in a second, I understood that this is Dad's revenge for yesterday. I made him sleep in my room and now he is distancing Piya from me. Well played, Dad, well played.

I see happy Piya taking the bag to leave the cabin. How dare she be happy when I'm not happy with Dad's decision. I block her.

Ar..yann..shh

She asks me to leave her whereas my hands bring her closer. Her perfume hits my nose and I lean to her neck. I am controlling myself not to peck her or touch her skin with my lips. Soon my throat gets dry and the craving to touch her intensifies.

I rub my nose on her face. Her shivering and stuttering lips boost my emotions but I need to be careful. I can't go and kiss her like I own her. I respect her individual personality but who will make my emotions understand that.

One thing is clear that she is also confused like me otherwise she would have slapped me when I pulled her in the parking lot last night. She is sailing in the same boat. I have to make a decision now.
