Akshara didn’t accept the real reason for him leaving the party that night.
She was jealous.
“I hated it,” she barked.
“The party?”
“No, you talking to that woman,” she blurted.
Her words made him smile. “Which woman?”
“Some endorsement lady who almost pulled her hair out while talking to you.” She let out a growl.
He nodded. “Why did you hate that?”
Her response was instantaneous. “I don’t know.”
“Why did you even go to the party?” Abhimanyu asked.
“Why did you go to the party?” She fired back the same question.
“It’s my party.”
She blinked in surprise. “I went to have fun.”
“Did you?”
“No.” She blinked away tears at the memory of the men following her in the dark.
He sighed when he saw moisture gather in her eyes. He kneeled in front of her and placed his palms on her cheeks, his thumbs wiping away the moisture.
“You need to go to bed.”
“No, I don’t. I slept all day.”
“Did you not sleep well last night?” His tone was soft.
She shook her head in response.
“Why?” He got closer, his face inches from hers, his eyes boring into hers.
“I didn’t know what to believe. I could not figure out why we kissed, if you are playing me, if you are doing something to get back at my father, and just straight-up get into my pants.” She let out a sob.
He looked at her for a long moment and pulled back to take her hand in his and place it on his chest.
“What do you feel, Akshara?”
She felt the shudder and the underlying thump in his chest.
“Your heartbeat.”
“Does it feel real?”
“Yes.” Her voice was a whisper as he moved closer to her.
He placed his lips over her jawline and running them slowly down to the beating pulse.
“Was my heart beating like yours is right now?”
“Yes,” she moaned.
