As she was lifted in his embrace, she knew it was him. The way he smelled, the way his arms were curled around her waist and the way her heart leaped with his touch, gave a non-subtle hint of his austere presence.

She closed her eyes for a second just to make sure that she wasn't hallucinating and when she opened her eyes, she saw his chiseled face just inches away from hers. His sharp nose, his well-defined jawline, his muddled breath on her face and his eyes burning with passion, was all that her heart desired for. As he made her lean against the wall and released her from his captivity, she could do nothing but count her blessings.

"Hey", he said with his raspy voice that drowned her completely.

She just looked into his eyes and smiled, like she had found some treasure.

"I don't have much time", she said.

"I know, I don't need much", he said and softly brushed her cheeks with his fingers.

She tugged onto her pendant and asked,

"So you know?"

He kept his gaze constant and just slightly nodded.

"You know about the contract with Scarlett too?", she asked with a fifty percent hope that he did.

He nodded again and kept playing with his fingers.

"Then why didn't you stop me?", she asked with a hint of contempt in her tone.

"Because someone is keeping a tab on us. All our phones are being monitored. I couldn't risk anything. Everything has to go the way it is going on. You cannot tell anything about this even to Mike or Vikram. I don't want them to be involved in any of this", he said and held her hand which was fiddling with the pendant.

She nodded.

"There is a GPS tracker inbuilt in this so that I can keep you safe", saying that he removed the pendant which she was clutching in her hands.

"Just trust me and bear with everything for a couple of days, I promise you everything will be all right", he said and placed a soft kiss on her hands which he was holding.

She smiled through the corner of her eyes and said,

"I trust you. Probably more than I trust myself".

"I missed you", he said and cupped her cheeks but then he heard some voices of maintenance people who were walking up from the second-floor fire exit. He immediately retracted his hand from her face and leaned on the wall next to her.

She giggled slightly and he was amused.

"Your dress is too short", he said raising his eyebrows.

"I know", she said and smiled coyly.

"Then I guess you know that it's very tempting to the human eyes. Why would you wear it to a public place like this?", he asked.

"I wore it for you", she said and blushed and started staring at the floor.

"Agggghhhh", he slowly grumbled and closed his eyes.

"What", she asked looking at him.

"It's too tempting for me", he said and sighed again.

"Well, then I am glad to hear that", she said and made a mocking face.

"Really???", he said and turned towards her side and before she could know, his slender long fingers were all over her skin, running from her knees and up towards her thighs.

She shuddered with his touch and her breath became all heavy. Completely disarmed by his sudden touch, she looked at him with panic laced in her eyes.

But he kept running his fingers unabashedly higher and higher till he reached the hemline of her dress. The tingling sensations heightened and when it turned into pleasure, she had no idea. She closed her eyes and gasped for air, but when she couldn't take it anymore. She turned towards him and tugged on his shirt helplessly.

"Make it stop !!!"

She said and leaned forward to rest herself on his broad and firm chest like it was her safety nest.

He obeyed and his fingers left the arena.

She continued leaning onto him and slowly as she could get her breath back she closed her eyes and lifted her arms to embrace him.

He wrapped his arms in return around the bundle of joy, holding her tight like she was his tomorrow for today and the day after. He traced every possible space on her back with his fingers and she twitched and trembled with every single move, but he didn't let her go.

He buried his head into her depths and slowly kissed her ear and then her neck. His kisses were soft like the touch of a feather but they stirred mountains of emotions inside her, strumming each and every single sensation that her nerves were capable of feeling.

It had been just a day, but it felt like they were separated for ages.

She then stood on the tip of her toes and brought her lips close to his ears and said,

"I missed you a lot".

"I know"

"You missed me even in your dreams", he said and held her tighter.

"I am sorry for everything, but you must know I did everything for you. I can't see you hurt. I will do everything to keep your baby safe", she said and buried her nose on his chest.

His heart wanted to tell her everything, but he knew that it was not the right time and neither the right place. So he wrapped his thoughts and pushed them back and just said,

"I know".

They didn't need to say much or explain much to each other. That was the beauty of their relationship.

She heard him and her heart was back to a place called Normal. She could feel that she was at ease knowing that he knew everything.

She stayed in his arms a bit more and then said,

"I think I should go. No one takes this much time to pee".

She said and looked into his eyes, but before she left she wanted to just steal a kiss. Just one kiss.

She looked around and then said,

"Umm.. Do you ..."

Before she could finish, his one hand was cupping the base of her neck and with the other, around her waist, he had already pulled her close and then he dusted the gap between their lips. His kiss was soft and tender. He wanted so bad to deepen the kiss and to be lost in hers, but he detached himself quickly and then wiped her lips with his thumb.

She was displeased. She wanted more. So when he detached his lips, she opened her eyes looking at him with darting questions.

He laughed seeing the look on her face and then pointed towards the security camera and said with a smug smile spread on his face,

"You don't want the security guys to see some porn, or do you?"
