“You can go and sleep.” His eyes were fixed on me while his words were mentioned for Suzi. I could see through my peripheral vision how she smirked and left in an attempt of hiding her smile while I stood there in front of him like culprit who was caught red handed.

“I think you like to talk about me but…” He took a step forward while I tried my best to not step behind and run like a coward. “…but I would prefer you do it with me.” He said as his eyes scanned me deeply from head to toe as I couldn’t help but squirm under his scrutinized gaze as he always looked at me like he owned me. Owned every part of me the way he glanced shamelessly at me that with my clothes I felt naked underneath his heated gaze.

“Dad…dad asked me to go with her. He didn’t want me to go alone.” I tried to explain and deliberately change the topic as he shook his head a little with an adorable tilt of his head. His hands were in the pockets of his pants while his vest was on but the coat wasn’t anywhere to be seen. His arms were flexed I could see his veins because of his sleeves folded upwards till his elbow showing how perfect his physical health was.

“Kind of him but now I am here.” He said as he was standing in front of me like he had all the leisure time of his life to talk to me.

“Why would you go with me?” I asked with a narrowed gaze as he was a business man and business do everything keeping in their interests.

“Because you are mine.” He said and I didn’t know how the breeze entered the kitchen with closed windows but it still did and touched my cheeks to make them crimson in color.

“I am not a thing.” I simply said trying to look anywhere but him as my favorite spot became the vase stand placed on the kitchen counter with artificial green leaves giving the kitchen an aesthetic look.

“You are mine in every way. Mine to think about…” He took two strides and before I could back away his large calloused hand grabbed my waist and pulled me into him making breath hitch and heart to beat in my throat. “…mine to touch…” My neck craned upwards in acute angle to look directly into his calm forest green eyes which was consuming me whole as I could see my reflection in his eyes. “…mine to care about…” His face leaned in as I lowered my eyes to make my eyelashes to graze my cheeks as he grazed his nose with mine in sweet rhythmic way. I could help but fist his shirt against his biceps. “…mine to f**k every innocent thought inside you.” He said and yanked me more into him in an instant that I couldn’t help but gasp at the sudden burst.

“Why are you ignoring me?” He said all of a sudden as I looked above at him with my cheeks fanned by his warm breath. I gulped as he sensed I was ignoring him in the morning for breakfast. I also came late in the kitchen just to avoid him.

“I am not.” My voice was coarse as my breathings were heavy. I was engulfed in his woody cologne that made me inhaled sharply. That could be the most intoxicating scent if anyone ever took out any research on it because I felt that. I could stand here and drown in this scent if my heart didn’t run so fast and I was his wife, in his eyes.

“You didn’t come for breakfast when I call you. You disobeyed me remember.” He said as his hand caressed my waist sensually making my spine shudder at his dangerous words and warm touch.

“I was busy and you never mentioned my name.” I said as I tried to step back but his hold around my waist didn’t let me.

“My bad.” He tsked his tongue as in an instant he grabbed my jaw and made me look upward at him directly in the eyes. His grip wasn’t too soft neither it was too harsh. “…remind me to take your name next time just like you did mine last night. Tell me baby do you still have that ache down there.” He said and my whole body turned into beetroot as I was already too embarrassed and he was making me more. I just wanted the earth to burst open and drown me into it as his face was invaded by a devious smirk.

He leaned in as the smirk on his face grew when he saw my face turning crimson as I was no longer holding his gaze after my eyelashes lowered due to the intensity in his eyes.

“Ma’am…the car is…oh…I am sorry.” Imran entered kitchen out of nowhere as he got distracted and finding the opportunity I jumped back and stood at the far corner of the kitchen.

He turned towards Imran as he saw me getting out of his hold while Imran stood there with his head lowered as he mumbled. “I am sorry sir. You can continue. I should go.” He said as he was about to move when he ordered.

“Give me the keys. She is going with me.” He demanded and Imran obediently handed him the keys while he left the kitchen with a hidden smile on his face. Now he would tell every detail to Suzi and she would tease the hell out of me with fluttering remarks.

“Let’s go.” He gave me a quick glance and exited the kitchen. Since I didn’t have any option left so I followed him. He opened the door of his car for me as I sat down to get my nostrils hit fit the fancy scent of the leather. The car was indeed lavish as he knew how to spend his money. Real rich people are those who know when and how to spend their money.

My attention was on the interior of the car as soon as I got seated but I gasped and the next second, I covered my mouth with the palm of my right hand as he leaned in.

“Seriously, do you think I am that desperate?” His face was adorned with a smirk as his lips twitched from one side in order to hide his smile. Heat erupted from my neck and reached my cheeks as he fastened my seat belt proving every thought of mine wrong.

His actions were slow and smooth as I knew he was teasing me but still it affected every fiber in my body to get tensed up as the lavish car suddenly felt so small because of his gigantic presence and his cologne that engulfed the air in the body. He didn’t touch me but I could feel his heated gaze on me the entire time and the way his hot breath tickled my skin made through its way till my stomach.

“Breathe baby. Breathe.” He said as he inched away after the clicked sound of the belt and closed the door. I let out a breath and realized I was holding a breath. I never liked how his predictions about me always turned right. I should know something about him too.

“Your actions speak you are desperate.” I said as soon as our car hit the road. He looked at me as he seemed surprised when he heard my voice after a long segment of silence.

“I am Farzan Shah. I never get desperate that’s the rule of being calm and use your anger at the desired time.” That’s the first long sentence I was listening from him about himself and that too spoke how arrogant he was.

“Well, you act like you are.” I couldn’t give up and he in fact was desperate whenever he used to come near me.

“I am not.” He said as I glanced at him through my peripheral vision that how relaxed and calmed, he was at that time. Also, he was never screamed or got loud unlike other men. He used to scare people just by his cold voice and deadly silent gaze. I heard when people are gone through too much then they just don’t care anymore and realize nothing could affect them anymore but he was totally different whenever he used to come near to me. He got aggressive, smirky, sometimes relaxed and definitely desperate but he was too arrogant and stubborn to admit that.

“Then what was that last night?” I asked craning my neck upwards as he looked down at me and then at my swan neck which was up and high looking directly at him for answers.

“When? Oh yeah when you have that ache down there.” He rasped and my eyes widened and a gasp left my mouth as my neck was still craned upwards.

“I didn’t.” I said with accelerated heartbeat as he was now teasing me. I should show this side of him to everyone in the mansion including his friends as they could get a heart attack seeing that.

“You did when you wanted me to touch you down there.” He said and I could help but pressed my lips in a thin line.

“I…didn’t…don’t talk about it.” I said fixing my gaze on the road. Now I had to spend hours with him.
