Disquietude of My Heart

Chapter 9

                              "I am a WOLF", Shaurya'a husky voice and tingling touch were messing with Mehek's senses. His hot breath fanned her ear lobe forcing her to stifle a soft moan. From his position, he could vividly see his mark on her and felt proud of it. May be sensing his gaze, she turned her head to give him ample access to her neck. He wanted to caress his mark but refrained. Mate bond was making her vulnerable yet he knew she will be upset later. Sensing lack of his touch, she faced him. She was unable to tear her eyes from his face. Not caring to comprehend root cause of her desire, she tiptoed to reach his lips and kissed him ardently. He couldn't resist further, infact no one could deny their mate's advances beyond a point. Soon he took the lead and their tongues were dueling. They broke apart to gasp for breath. While he was pulled out of the lusty dream, Mehek was still not in her senses. She snaked her arms around his neck and pulled him closer for another kiss but he managed to stop. "Mehek, this is my office", he told her firmly. She felt as if cold water was splashed on her face.

Mehek looked around and then him. She realised her mistake and was embarrassed beyond limits. She back tracked her steps and touched her lips that had sought comfort from him. She was unable to understand her hunger for him and felt ashamed of herself. Oh God, he will think of me as an easy woman. Why did I behave like a wanton?, her self-esteem was killing her. He could read her thoughts. The mate bond was pulling her and affecting her beside him. He was having a tough time to rein it so could imagine her plight. If he hadn't abstained, their romantic tryst would have escalated to higher level. Eventhough he desired her, he didn't want to advantage of their mate bond. He wanted to win her heart first so that she will be joyful and not ashamed of their togetherness. He wanted to pull her into his arms and comfort her but he withhold his urge. "Mehek ...", he tried to talk but she quickly picked up her bad and dashed outside.

Mehek was shaking but she managed to walk ahead and had a tough time fighting her tears. She was embarrassed by her own behaviour and wanted to escape. As she reached the lift lobby, the lift opened for Vivaan and Rajeev to exit. "Luna!!! What a pleasant surprise", Vivaan exclaimed while Rajeev was also surprised. Mehek ignored Vivaan and turned to Rajeev, "Bhai, I trusted you. I cannot believe you tricked me". Rajeev was perplexed, "Calm down, Mehek. Tell me what happened". Mehek narrated the entire incident. "Mehek, I had no clue about it. Even you kept me in dark. You should have told me that you were trying for a job here. In that case, I would have warned you", Rajeev was hurt. Mehek felt guilty. She didn't want to trouble Rajeev and indeed wanted to keep him away from her career. "May be it's destiny", Vivaan joked but clearly Rajeev & Mehek were not houmoured. "I believe you have signed the employment contract since it's your first day. So you are bound to work here for atleast a month", Vivaan pointed it out quickly. "Mehek, don't worry. I will talk to Shaurya and you will relieved without difficulties", Rajeev pacified. "Wow, so cute", Vivaan mocked Rajeev, "I wish I too had a sweet brother who manages to pull favours bcoz I am too timid to face world".

 "I am not a coward", Mehek snapped at Vivaan. "Ofcourse you are. I can understand your dilemma to accept Shaurya. But you both mutually agreed and broke up. Then why are you having issues to work with him? It proves that you are not brave enough", Vivaan taunted her. "Shut up, Vivaan. You are crossing the limits", Rajeev rebuked him and faced Mehek, "Mehek, you don't have to argue with a moron like him to prove yourself". Mehek was on the verge of tears. "Absolutely. No proofs needed. Bcoz I already know that you are a weakling. I am so happy that you are not my Luna", Vivaan taunted her again. "Enough!!", Shaurya's roar echoed amidst them. They all turned to find Shaurya who was not at all pleased with turn of events. Mehek looked down, unable to meet his eyes and hid her tears. "Mehek, you can quit the job. I understand your predicament so I relieve you from the contract. Please meet Bulbul and she will help you", he told her. Mehek nodded and left the trio. She took the lift and went to meet Bulbul.
