"You want me to spend the night with you...sleeping???" Arjun asked softly as he moved back towards her. Arohi shook her head no. "I don't want to sleep." she said softly, looking down at her hands, missing the big smile that spread across Arjun's lips. "That's really good," he said. "Because what I have planned will take all night and their definitely isn't any sleeping involved." Before she could react he was cupping her face in his hands and his mouth was pressing against hers for a soft kiss.  Arohi's hand moved up his chest and settled on his shoulders as Arjun continued to kiss her senseless.  His kisses made her weak as she clung to him for support, pressing closer and closer.  Arjun moaned against her lips and then pulled away and kissed the hollow of her neck.  "I love you so much Arohi." he said hoarsely, as his hands moved over her body making Arohi sigh in pleasure.  "I love you too Arjun, that's why I want you to make me completely yours tonight." she said softly looking into his hooded gaze.  Arjun's answer was to press his lips against hers again for a long drugging kiss.   "I've wanted you for so long." he said as he pulled away and stared down at her flushed face.  "And I want this night to be perfect for you."  "You're sure you want this right?" he asked hesitantly.  "Because if later on you want me to stop, I will, but it might just kill me." he said with a soft sexy smile.  Arohi's answer was to pull his face back down to hers and give him a toe curling kiss.  "I want this, and I already know it'll be perfect, because it's with you." she said looking at him with a loving smile.  Arjun pressed a soft kiss against her neck and then trailed soft kiss along her jawline and up her ear.   His hands shifted to the bottom of her fitted sweater which he slowly lifted and pealed off her.  His lips returning back to hers, this time for a harder deeper kiss.  "You're so sexy." he said moving to kiss her shoulder making Arohi close her eyes and bite her lip to hold back a groan.  He gently picked her up into his arms and walked to the bedroom, staring down at her flushed face.  As he set her down in the middle of her room his hands returned to touch her body.  Settling on her hips as he pulled her closer and then lightly moving over her abdomen.  Arohi felt like she was on fire as Arjun's knuckles grazed her sensitive skin.  "You're so soft, so beautiful." he whispered as he moved his hands to unhook her bra.  Arohi looked up at his smoldering eyes and her breath caught.  He was so good looking and she wanted him so much.  Her own hands moved to his sweater slowly pulling it up.  Her hands tracing his hard defined abs and moving up to his chest and then shoulders.  Arjun's hands moved to her jeans unzipping them as he kissed her hungrily.  Arohi whimpered as she wrapped her arms around his neck pressing her almost naked body against him.  She heard Arjun groan as his mouth returned to hers for a hot demanding kiss. 

 They were so lost in each other that the banging on Arohi's front door didn't register for a long time.   It probably wouldn't have registered at all if Arjun hadn't moved away to pull off his jeans.  That's when Arohi heard the loud knocking.  She paused and listened closely.  "Do you hear that?" she asked as Arjun pulled her back against him and began kissing her neck.  "No." he said hoarsely as he kissed her lips again.  Arohi's eyes closed involuntarily as she let the kiss take over her senses.  But as the knocking got louder her eyes snapped open.  Pushing at Arjun's chest she said.  "Someone's at the door Arjun."  "Ignore them, they'll go away." he said his lips moving over her body as he pulled her to the bed.  "Arjun, we can't."  "It's so late, why would someone be knocking on my door?"  "Maybe it's something important." she said anxiously.  Arjun pulled away and sighed, raking his hand through his hair.  "Really Arohi?!" he said painfully.  "You really want to answer that door right now?!"  "Are we really in any state to be welcoming company?" he asked reaching for her again.  But Arohi was already moving away, grabbing her robe.  "I won't be able to continue until I see who it is baby." she said softly.  "I'll be right back." she added, moving towards her bedroom door.  "Ask who it is first." Arjun said starting to pull on his jeans again.  
 
Arohi walked to the door.  "I'm coming." she called as she heard more banging.  What a racket someone was making, she thought to herself.  "Who is it?" she asked through the door.  There was no answer.  "Who is it?" she said again.  "Arohi, it's me Ms. Gupta from next door."  Arohi frowned.  "What was Ms. Gupta doing at her door so late."  Slowly opening the door Arohi gasped as it was suddenly pushed back fully and all she saw were camera flashes and heard loud voices.  Arohi stood frozen, not comprehending what was happening.  Not comprehending the amount of people and microphones and cameras and questions coming at her.  "Are you Arjun Singhania's girlfriend?"  "Is he here with you right now?"  "What is your relationship?" "Why are you hiding your relationship?" were just some of the questions being shouted at her.  Arohi couldn't move, she didn't know how long she stood there.  What was probably just moments, felt like hours.  And then suddenly Arjun was at her side.  More flashes coming at them as he pushed a few extra daring photographers who had stepped into Arohi's home, out the door.  Putting his arm around Arohi trying to shield her from the cameras he forced the door shut and swore profusely as he pulled a trembling Arohi against him.  "Shh, it's okay." he said as her trembling only got worse and she clung to him.  "Oh my god." she kept whispering.  "Oh my god."  Arjun was livid.  As soon as he was able to calm down Arohi a little bit he was going to have his lawyers on the phone and these b**tards arrested.  How dare they come into Arohi's house?!  How dare they frighten her like this?!  He was going to have their jobs, they wouldn't even be working at taking passport photographs once he was done with them!  Soft sobs wracked Arohi's body.  She could still hear the commotion outside her apartment and she couldn't believe this was actually happening to them.  Arjun's soothing embrace was the only thing that seemed to calm her down.  "Babe, I need you to sit down," he said helping her onto the sofa and then grabbing a blanket.  "I need to deal with this situation." he said furiously as he grabbed his phone.  He called Sunny first who was asleep but awake instantly as she heard Arjun's serious tone.  "I'll be there in 20 minutes and consider your security on it's way." Sunny said as he quickly hung up.  Next Arjun called the police and then finally his lawyers.  "I want each and every one of those b**tards arrested and fired!"  "And any magazine or newspaper or TV channel that prints or televises any of those pictures is getting their a**es sued! " "Got it!" he snapped into the phone.  Arohi stared straight ahead.  Arjun could make any threat he wanted, the pictures were taken.  It was done now, they were probably already going virile as they spoke.  There was no stopping it now.  She jumped as she felt Arjun's hand on her shoulder, looking up she saw that he had put his shirt back on.  Squeezing her eyes closed she tried to push down the sudden lump that was forming in her throat.  She knew exactly what kind of picture they had made.  Arjun shirtless, her in her robe, her hair a mess.  Her face flushed.  Such a private intimate moment and it was being broad casted probably all over the world.  Her family, a sob escaped Arohi's lips as she felt Arjun's arm wind around her shoulder pulling her against him.  "Our families are going to see those picture." she said sobbing now.  "My father already hates me, I don't know what will happen if he sees these." she said in a broken voice.  And then pushing away she looked at him with big eyes glistening with tears.  "You're family is going to see these too."  "Oh my god, how will I ever face them again, your mom...oh my god DJ."  "What will they think of me?!" she said putting her hands over her face.  Arjun pulled her hands away and wiped her tears.  Feeling helpless and angry.  "No one is going to think anything of you."  "We love each other."  "We weren't doing anything wrong." he said adamantly.  Before Arjun could go on, they heard more banging on the door, making Arohi turn towards the door with fear.  "Open up, it's Sunny and the police are here too." Sunny said from the door.  Arjun quickly got up and opened the door, most of the paparazzi were gone, the few that had lingered were getting arrested.  Arjun felt like going out there and beating the sh*t out of them.  Sunny pushed him away from the door and quickly shut it.  Looking grimly first at Arohi and then at Arjun.  Slowly he walked to Arohi wrapping his arms around her.  "It's going to be okay." he tried to reassure her.  He sat Arohi down while Arjun spoke to two police officers about what had occurred.  "Are you okay?" he asked Arohi as he handed her glass of water.  Arohi shook her head no.  "Sunny, we were, we were...we were in my bedroom when we heard the knocking."  Sunny stared at her and nodded understanding what she was trying to say.  "I came out in just a robe to answer the door, and Arjun was shirtless."  "Can they just come into my home and do this?" she asked already knowing the answer.  They weren't allowed to do alot of things but that never stopped the paparazzi.  And she should have known.  Lately there had been so much speculation on who Arjun's Mystery Goan woman was.  "Who he was dating?"  She should have known that the bloodhounds would have tracked her down.  
 
Arjun moved back to Arohi, pulling her back into his arms and kissing her hair softly.  "It's fine." he repeated.  "We won't let them get away with this." he said softy. "They've already gotten away with it Arjun." she said against his chest.  Arjun met Sunny's grim look over Arohi's head.  He didn't care what they printed about him, but Arohi was off limits.  He would not let them soil her name in their quest to get a story.  "I've called your PR people, they're on their way."  "They'll know what to do." Sunny said as he glanced at the text that had just come in on his phone, and frowned.  Holding up his phone he pointed at a picture of a shirtless Arjun holding Arohi against him as he pushed a photographer out of the apartment.  Arjun gritted his teeth and held Arohi tighter against him. Finally pulling away he said "The police officer wants to quickly hear your account of things."  Arohi nodded as he led her to the waiting officer.  The next hour was a blur of activity.  People going and coming.  Arjun's security standing outside the door.  "I have become too lax lately." he said to Sunny.  "I didn't think I needed security, but now I can see that clearly I did!"
