Ram gently let his fingers freely run over her skin feeling the softness. She gave him a coy smile looking directly into his eyes. Her eyes filled with desire and love matching with his urge. Their lips moved in perfect rhythm savoring the very moment. Neither of them are ready to break the kiss as if they are questing for it from so long.

His hands are all over her body worshiping each part of it ever so tenderly earning few pleasurable moans from her. She arched her head backwards when he sucked her skin in the crook of her neck. She looks so divine underneath him and closed eyes in rapture. Soon their clothes found their way all around the bed within no time. He could not take off his eyes off her not even for a brief second; she blushed to the core seeing his constant gaze.

Ram took her lips in a deep and passionate kiss while adjusting himself in between her legs.

"Ready?" He has a glint in his eyes and is full of passion.

"Mr Kapooor" She jerked him out of his sleep calling for the third time consequently.

His smiley face turned into a confused stare all of a sudden as soon as she woke him up from his dream.

"Do you have a habit of sleep talking?" Priya asked, confused.

"Oh No! Was it just a dream? You don't even let me dream peacefully, not done yaar." Ram sulked while sitting upright next to her.

"What did you see in the dream?" Priya asked knotting her brows together.

"I can explain better by recreating the scene, what do you say?" Ram asked, leaning towards her. She looked at him in wonder seeing a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"No need." She said, keeping her foot down on the carpet.

Priya landed directly on Ram's chest when he tugged her hand, not letting her go away from him.

"What are you doing?" Priya said, finding her position uncomfortable, as she is half lying over him.

"What are you doing? Leaving bed without even giving my morning kiss?" Ram said with sleepy eyes yet holding her firmly near to him.

"Haaww! You already have got a plenty yesterday and not going to get anymore today." Priya pouted her lips and said in a slightly serious tone.

"You call three kisses as plenty? Like seriously?" Ram asked sarcastically.

"Yes, let me go now!" Priya said, trying to get up from him.

"I am not letting you go until I get what I want." Ram said stubbornly.

"Aren't we getting late for the site visit today?" Priya asked, reminding him about their today's schedule.

"Everything can wait. Let's finish this task first." Ram said, pulling her more into him.

"No way!" Priya shook her head in negation.

"This is not done Priya. You neither allow me to do what I want nor let me finish the undone business at least in my dreams. Do you know that you are ruling me and my dreams as well?" He complained like a small kid.

Priya rolled on to her side and could not hold back laugh hearing him complaining.

"Hey, stop laughing at me." He sulked, resting his body on his elbow.

Slowly he moves towards her wrapping his other hand over her body. His messy hair and cute sullen face are making her go crazy.

Within no seconds, his lips found hers taking her upper lip in between his teeth. She let out a moan when she felt his body weight on her.

Time stopped when his lips met hers, but the flutter only intensified. He deepened the kiss securing her in his hold. Her whole body tingled, with the feeling of him leaning on hers as his arms wrapped around her. She clutched his arms tightly when he angled her face for more access. He is kissing her crazily slipping his tongue inside her mouth. To his bad luck, his phone rang with a loud ringtone. He groaned out of frustration and cut the call stretching his hand out for his mobile, which placed on the side table.

His mobile rang again disturbing their morning kiss.

Priya pushed him slightly away from her. "At least look who is calling you. Must be urgent." She said composing her irregular breathing.

"Why everyone on the earth against me? Huh!" Ram gritted his teeth out of irritation. He picked up the call lying on his back.

"Hello Zoya, what makes you call me early in the morning?" He asked in a disinterested voice.

"Hello Ram, Good morning. Shall we go out for breakfast?" Zoya asked over the call.

Ram looked at Priya who was listening to their conversation silently. Priya simply looked at him without making any noise.

"Sorry Zoya. I cannot join you for breakfast, you please carry on." He said plainly, taking Priya's hand in his.

"But Ram!" Zoya stopped abruptly.

"Let's meet directly at the meeting venue. Don't disturb me till I come over there." He cut the call without waiting for her reply, dropping a kiss on Priya's hand. Priya widened her eyes at him and he shrugged off his shoulder.

"Let's continue where we stopped." He said snuggling close to her.

"No, let's freshen up before we get too late." She said, pointing at the time.

"One more please." Ram asked, pointing at his lips.

"Yes why not?" Priya agreed, surprising him.

Ram became super happy and closed his eyes in anticipation when their lips were mere inches apart.

Priya smartly released herself from his grip and ran towards the washroom.

"Not fair yaar Priya! You can't do this to me all the time." Ram whined.

"Everything is fair Mr Kapoor" Priya giggled while closing the bathroom door before he could reach there.

"Are you coming out right now or not?" Ram said banging on the door.

"No way!" Priya said in between her laughing.

"You are a stubborn lady, do you know that?" Ram said gritting his teeth clearly pissed off.

"Yes, I know that already" Priya said confidently. Ram shook his head in defeat.

***********

Zoya felt strange finding Ram and Priya together almost all the time. Ram is definitely paying a lot of unnecessary attention to the new joiner. She quickly shrugged away the thoughts greeting Ram as soon as he arrived along with Priya and Vikram whereas Zoya, Romila and others reached the meeting venue in the other car.

Romila also greeted him in her usual excited tone. He simply smiled and made his way to visit the site, which was finalized for the project.

"It is quite a sunny day. Just stay under the shade. I don't want my wife to get tan and tired." Ram said to Priya in a low voice.

Priya surprised at his words and glared at him when she finds Vikram controlling his giggle.

"Vikram, let's go and have a look. You stay here with Romila." Ram smirked when he finds Romila coming towards them.

Zoya took out her umbrella and put on her shades while stepping into the site.

"Hey Priya! Good morning." Anandam said, walking near Priya.

"Hi Addu, good morning." Priya replied.

"When are you coming to my place?" Addu asked.

"Since we have the project kick-off party tonight, I will come tomorrow before going back to Mumbai." She smiled and said.

"Perfect! I will be waiting for your visit then." Addu said before joining Ram and Vikram.

"Romila, why do you look so depressed?" Priya asked as soon as she found Romila calm and depressed.

"You know what; Jaanu said he is in love with someone else. I think something is brewing between Ram and Zoya. I even saw lipstick marks on his lips last night." Romila whimpered.

Priya felt uneasiness not knowing what to reply to her. She could not explain to her that it was her not Zoya.

"Look at her; she doesn't leave a chance to cling on to him. My Jaanu is slipping away from my hands but I will not let that happen." Romila said, narrowing her eyes seeing Ram and Zoya together from far.

Priya understood that Romila is not going to change her mindset so easily.

They finished the site visit and finalized the plan.

"Please get the files ready for tomorrow." Ram said to Priya and she nodded in agreement.

"Vikram let's go and meet Mr Mittal before we head back to the hotel." Ram said, turning towards Vikram.

"You guys carry on for now and meet you directly at the party." Ram said to the rest of the team including Priya.

Ram took his mobile out and typed a message while walking along with Vikram.

"Take some rest for some time, get ready and I will meet you at the party, Love." Ram sent the message to Priya. He turned back and found her smiling slightly looking at his message.

As soon as Priya reaches her room, she finds an envelope on the table.

"Though my wife doesn't need to put any extra effort to look best, I just booked a SPA session for you. Hope you like the outfit that I have selected for you." Priya smiled to herself and placed the letter back on the table.

She found the packet next to the envelope, which has the outfit selected by her husband. She opened the packet, loved the saree instantly and ran her fingers over it to feel the softness of the fabric.

He has serious obsession on the sarees, she thought and smiled to herself.

Priya just loved the way he take care of the little things about her. She did follow his instruction and had soothing & relaxing SPA treatments that took her few hours but it was really worth it. She felt so relaxing and refreshing after a full body SPA session and the pampering she got from the top class professionals.

Priya looked at her reflection in the mirror and impressed by her final look for tonight. She pinned her pallu on her shoulder and let her hair settle on the other side of the shoulder. Threading her fingers in her already settled hair, she blushed at his selection; it is a beautiful royal blue color saree with matching sleeveless blouse.

She picked up her mobile to check his message.

"I might take some time to reach the party as I am struck up with some work. You go to the party and wait for me. Would love to see you in that outfit darling. Lots of love!" She read the message and smiled softly.

She moved out of the room after looking at herself one more time.

"You are looking beautiful Didi." Romila complimented as soon as Priya reached the place.

"Thank you Romila. You look beautiful too." Priya replied.

"Where is my Jaanu? He is nowhere to be seen." Romila looked around rising on her toes to find him excited.

"He might be busy with some work and will be back soon." Priya said keeping a hand on her.

They spend few minutes talking to the other people around in the area booked exclusive for their project kickoff party.

Zoya stood in front of Priya and Romila wearing a black color mini dress. She scanned Priya from top to bottom and smirked making her uncomfortable.

"Can't believe people don't have a proper dressing sense. Who wears saree for an office party? Huh" Zoya said rolling her eyes at Priya.

Priya smiled at her and said, "I like to dress in the clothes that are comfortable and go with my persona. Clothes alone do not make a person. I do not think you should bother about my dressing sense instead you better take care of yours." She retorted back brilliantly making Zoya fuming with anger.

"Bravo! That's true and I completely agree with her." Ram stepped into the scene along with Vikram.

Ram smiled at her broadly absorbing her beauty. "You look stunning Priya" He complemented Priya leaving the other two women burn in jealous.

Priya stood there numb by his sudden complement and signaled him through eyes to stop, as they are not alone. Vikram felt happy sensing the comfort between Raya.

"You both look good as well." He said turning to Zoya and Romila. Romila became super excited and smiled showing her teeth to him. Zoya faked a smile to him.

Ram looked at her and adjusted his blue tie around his neck, which is matching exactly with her saree color.

"Oho! Twinning" She thought in her mind and looked at him expectedly.

Ram nodded in confirmation as if he heard what she is thinking in her mind. Both are communicating through their eyes not being notice by other people surrounded by them.

Everyone raised their toast and begun the party in full pace.

After few minutes, people started shaking their legs on the dance floor.

Zoya without wasting a moment pulled Ram onto the dance floor and he had to join her for formality sake. He looked at Priya who pulled by Addu a moment later.

"No Addu. Please I can't dance today." Priya tried to deny him but Addu insisted her saying, "Come on, and please give me a chance to dance with you."

She nodded her head involuntarily.

Ram wanted to hit on Addu's face and take her in his arms right away but he is also stuck with Zoya. His focus is only on Priya and vice versa. Romantic songs started playing and everyone are dancing with their dance partners. Romila also hit the dance floor with Vikram who has no other partner around.

dekha hazaaron dafa aapko

phir beqarari kaisi hai
sambhale sambhalta nahi ye dil
kuch aap mein baat aisi hai

Raya started dancing slowly matching with the melodious tunes occasionally stealing glances at each other. Zoya is fuming in anger finding Ram's total concentration is on Priya. He never paid attention towards her and it hurt her the most when Priya is getting all his attention.

lekar ijazat ab aap se
saansein ye aati jaati hain
DhoonDhe se milte nahi hain hum
bas aap hi aap baaki hain

Addu is lost in Priya's beauty and smiling constantly looking at her. She looked at him once and smiled gently before they shift the dancing partners. Now Priya is dancing with Vikram, Zoya with Addu and Ram with Romila.

Romila is super happy and she would faint in his arms at any point of time. Ram smiled at her awkwardly while continuing dancing consciously.

Vikram and Priya are dancing comfortably with each other as they share a very good bond already with each other. Ram felt bit relaxed that Priya is not in Addu's arms but in the safe hands of his best friend Vikram.

Priya could sense his happiness sparking in his eyes.

"Good to see you both happy together." Vikram said to Priya.

Priya smiled looking at Vikram who smiled back in response.

pal bhar na doori sahein aap se

betaabiyaan ye kuch aur hain
hum door hoke bhi paas hain
nazdeekiyan yeh kuch aur hain

"Jaanu" Romila said bringing him back to the reality.

"Romila what did I say to you last night? Why are you calling me Jaanu again?" He asked her helplessly.

"I have thought a lot about what you said yesterday. You said you love someone and go to any extent to get your love right." Romila asked keeping him in fixed state.

"Yes, so?" He asked puzzled.

"Even I love you unconditionally so don't stop me from loving you. I will try my best to be with you all the time." Romila said shocking him. He do not have any words to say and explain to Romila. It is very difficult to make her understand.

Ram looked at Priya, desperately want to take her in his arms and sway his body with hers.

dekha hazaaron dafaa aapko

phir beqarari kaisi hai
sambhale sambhalta nahi ye dil
kuch pyar mein baat aisi hai

aagosh mein hain jo aapki
aisa sukoon aur paayen kahan
aankhen humein ye raas aa gayin
ab hum yahaan se jaaye kahaan

dekha hazaaron dafaa aapko
phir beqarari kaisi hai

Romila is not letting Ram to shift to the next partner. She is in her own world adoring Ram all for herself. Ram felt helpless being stuck-up with his stalker. Somehow, Ram managed to excuse himself from Romila's grip once the song ended.

Another song started playing, finally Raya are dancing with each other.

Kuch na kaho, kuch bhi na kaho
Kya kehna hai, kya sunna hai
Mujhko pata hai, tumko pata hai
Samay ka yeh pal tham sa gaya hai
Aur is pal mein koi nahin hai
Bas ek main hoon, bas ek tum ho
Kuch na kaho, kuch bhi na kaho

Priya kept her one hand on his shoulder and slid other in his big palm. He snaked his one arm on her bare waist and gripped the other hand with hers. Raya swayed perfectly matching with the rhythm maintaining the eye contact forgetting the people around them. Dim light and the place they are in helped them to expose themselves minimum and somewhat helped the love couple not being noticed by the others.

Ram squeezed his hand on her waist making her jump with his touch.

"Did I tell you how smoking hot you are looking sweetheart?" He said in her ears.

He flashed his trademark smile on his lips seeing his wife flushed in his arms.

"Thank you." Priya said softly.

"Thank you is not enough baby." Ram said pulling her more towards him.

There was hardly any gap between the couple.

"What if people notice us? Please move." Priya said looking around them.

"Ssh! Let us not bother about others anyways they cannot see us clearly. Don't worry much." Ram said encircling his hands around her petite frame. They are dancing to the tunes gracefully.

"You have a sexy back to die for." He said as he let his fingertips wander on her back.

Priya shut her eyes feeling butterflies flutter in her stomach.

Ram took a chance forward and pecked on her lips quickly. Priya opened her eyes in shock and look here and there to see if anyone noticed them or not.

"What are you doing?" Priya asked sternly yet in low voice.

"Nothing. What did I do?" Ram shrugged off his shoulder as if he did not do anything.

"You are so mischievous!" Priya said furrowing her brows.

"You have not seen my complete mischievousness darling." Ram said smooching her lips again one more time. Blood rushed towards her cheeks instantly making her look more beautiful. 

Loud clapping sound alerted them before the lights turn on. They parted and stand next to each other blushing and behaved normally.
