Chapter 13

His two strong arms wrapped around her agile delicate body. His breath warm flowed across her shoulder as he moved her long black tresses to the other side of her shoulder slowly placing butterfly kisses on her neck. Khushi shut her eyes lost in him her heart now in over drive she could feel the magic back! "Did you miss me!" he whispered into her ears creating havoc from the inside.

A surge of anger filled her chest as she opened her eyes and turned around in a swift moment and pushed his chest really hard with all her might. "How dare you" she screamed back at him as the dark figure stood silent she vented. "How dare you!" she shouted again. "You left me. You left me standing out there in the cold with no answers after a magical night of fun, was I a sex object did you have your fun with me." she screamed back at him. "You never came back I gave myself to you I trusted you I was hoping to see more of you to spend more time with you and you!" she paused as he silently heard her "You played with my emotions. I was doing fine in my tiny village with uncle Tom you took him from me you killed him and when I came to seek revenge from you, you twisted me and turned everything around where I was left with no choice but to give in to you, you you scoundrel you mongrel " pausing gasping for air she said "How could you ASR? How could you?"

There was silence in the air. Khushi looked at the dark mysterious body who stood a feet away from her. just looking at her. She had no idea what he was going to react like but she just knew that she was angry and pissed as hell. After a second he said in a soft voice. "Are you done venting out your frustration?" Khushi looked back at him with sheer shock "What the!!" she said in a confused voice. "I didnt come to meet you for so long, Your upset I get it"

"You get it!, Oh you get it" she yelled back throwing her hands in the air with frustration. "Should I be happy you get it?" she asked him sarcastically. Khushi was really angry with him and more so because he wasnt answering her properly. Chuckling back at her he pulled her in his arms and pressed her breasts to his hard exterior. "Do you know how cute you look right now"

"Leave me!" she said fighting him but ASR only held her tighter and tighter as she kept fighting him, finally when she got tired of doing so she stopped and just looked up at his midnight sizzling eyes waiting to hear what he was going to say next.

"You have every right to be angry, Yes we had magic that night, and no your not a sex object." Answered ASR keeping calm as Khushi heard him "You think I would just leave you like that high and dry.You know Khushi if we are in a relationship we need to understand each other, its a two way street" he explained to her.As Khushi silently still listened. Relationship she thought to herself really she was in a relationship with him that word gave her a sense of the magic being restored. She felt warm as her heartstrings tugged.In a low voice she asked him. "Why didnt you come for so long"

"Akash was following you. You were being watched" he explained. "It was a high risk for me to come and see you." ASR explained and Khushi looked at him shocked things slowly making sense to her now. "Akash had his goons follow you all day because he was upset with the fact that you took his positions. You were being watched 24 hours. He even had a small camera fit at the entrance of your cottage to see who comes and goes. I had no choice but to stay away from you." Turning around in disappointment. Khushi couldnt bare to be away she was quick to hug him from behind as she lay her head on his back her small hands wrapped around his shoulders.

"If I came to see you your life would be in danger and thats the last thing I want Khushi" he said to her with a tinge of sadness in his voice. All this while Khushi had only heard the mysterious part of his voice the one that would take her by surprise for the first time had she heard him with a bit of sadness it felt so real but oddly familiar.


Turning around slowly he kissed her palms "I wanted to come see you but I couldnt risk it. I was dangerous so i had to stay away, It was hard for me too. Probably the hardest actually but what choice did I have" he said in a low tone. "I understand now" she replied him back. then she looked back at him in shock as she touched his face in terror. "What about now, what if Akash's men see you now. Why did you risk it and come here this is not good this is not good at all. What will we do if they see you they will shoot" she said in a worried voice talking about his life almost like it was hers.

"Calm down Kitten!, Akash and his men are not here" he explained.

"but camera?" she asked him she asked him shocked.

"Do you really think I would have left any of them I am ASR a measly Akash can not catch me!" he said with pride."I finished them off, his goons they are dead and Akash well Akash got a warning and a message that if he messes with you he is asking for the worst in his life. whatever is left of it that is."

Breathing a sigh of relief she slowly rested her head on his chest listening to his heart beat as he held her tight "I missed this" she said in a low voice. "I missed this too Kitten." He once again spoke in his famous mystery tone.

As he lead her to the bed laying her down he came on top of her and placed his lips on hers as she slowly pressed her arms around him bringing him closer to her. They kissed passionately and once again Khushi was lost in him. She once again gave herself up to him. Moving down he kissed her breasts she didnt hesitate this time. As he sucked on her soft honey cream skin playing with her round mounds. She moaned for him "Hmm" making his erection heavy.

"Your the most beautiful creature I have ever seen." he spoke his soft tone placing more kisses reaching her softness she moaned for him again "Hmm" as he licked her softness darting his tongue into her she couldnt bare it any longer she needed him in her she needed to feel connected to him.

He pulled his hardness out of his pants and in a slow movement inserted it into her softness connecting them together to make them one. As he placed soft kisses on her neck thrusting in and out she cried for him "ASR" she said in her soft tone. "ASR" she could feel his beard rub against her soft cheeks. "ASR" he bit her skin branding her as his and then finally pulling out of her.

He lay by her side and she moved to his chest resting her head sticking close to him. They both tried to gain their breaths. After a while she said to him in a soft voice. "Can I ask you something" he replied in monosyllable "hmm"

"Why wont you show yourself to me" she asked him in a soft voice, he remained silent "I can touch you i can feel you I know what your face structure is with my hands but thats only because of the touch and feel, I can even taste you with your kisses I can look up into your magnificent dark eyes but i cant see you. I know your voice it plays tricks on my mind and for some reason today I feel as if I have heard this voice some where I feel still feel that there is more to you. Do you not trust me, Do you think I will leak you out? Why wont you show yourself" she asked him not realizing what she was asking him. he got up from the bed the night still dark not a ounce of light near by but still she felt safe.

He paused for a second and then got up from the bed but as he was about to move away she held his hand and stopped him holding the silk sheets to her body she said in a soft voice. "Please dont go!, I am sorry If I upset you" looked back at her and then sat down on the bed close to her slowly caressing her face. "You have seen me before" Khushi's eyes opened wide sitting up on the bed seen him before when where she said to herself. "Somethings are best to remain unanswered all I can say is that, keep your eyes and ears open my princess the world we are in is not a good one and is not safe for an angle like you. There are people in every corner that will find any opportunity to kill you or bring you down." He placed her hand on her cheek caressing it. "Khushi when the time is right you will know, just trust me. I know there are lots of questions on your mind reguarding how i look or why i killed your uncle. In time you will know. Trust me!" She looked up into his eyes doubt worry and pain still evident. Trust the biggest gangster in the world sure it was hard but her heart said she should have faith in him.

"For now the only thing i can ask of you is to be careful. Dont think too much about it" Khushi shut her eyes and held his hand. "You should sleep now" he told her getting up from the bed and she pulled him back "Please dont go" she chimed back at him. He kissed her forehead and made her lie down. Caressing her hair he said. "Tomorrow is a long day and an early start, Come to the docks at 4:30." he instructed her.

"So early why?" she asked him confused. "Tomorrow is your first shooting and self defense lesson, its time you learned the rules of this game." she held his hand not a clue of whats going on and she didnt know when sleep took a tole. 

Chapter 14

Crystal waves washed over the hard stones. It was cold and it was early Khushi walked over to the docks. Not a sole in sight as she walked over to the target practice rink she saw there was a note on the table. it read

"Pick up the gun and shoot me" She saw the pistole and in front of her there was a bulls eye. Slowly holding the gun her hands trembled these were things she wasn't use to doing at all. She held the gun loosely to shoot. Thoughts going on in her head. Reality hitting her hard she wasnt made for this field she wasnt for sure what was she doing with a gun in her hand she couldnt shoot she shouldnt shoot. She was honestly contemplating to keep the gun back down and run away run far far away from here go back to her tiny village in Goa. 

"Shoot!!" came the stern voice from the speaker. She looked back at the gun holding it straight at the target point afraid hands still trembling "Shoot!!" the voice got louder. Khushi still gaining courage to fire the gun. "You came out here to seek revenge from me" the harsh voice spoke through the speaker. "You call yourself a strong woman, Look at you what are you" Khushi's mind now filling with anger. "You think you could kill me. The Powerful ASR you cant even hold a gun" mocked the his piercing voice. 

Khushi's chest filling up slowly as the voice continued "Your uncle was lying dead on the floor that faithful night. his blood was all over the carpet and it was over your clothes. You couldnt do anything back then. You cant do anything right now. Your a coward Khushi, You are a child go back to that village of yours" 

"Bham!!"

"Bham!!"

"Bham!!"

three bullets darted at the centre of the red and white circles. Khushi fired the gun. Angry hot she looked at the speaker. Her breath heavy her chest full of heat her skin sweating her eyes red. She shot in rage taking deep breaths as she imagined her uncles corpse on the floor emotions pouring into her memories of that horrible night. 

"Lesson 1 Kitten always remember why you are here and what you are doing" 

Khushi looked at the speaker her eyes cold "why am I here" she asked in a low tone. "to take revenge from you" she answered it herself 

The speaker remained silent "instead of doing that i am making love to you and learning how to fire a gun." she left out a hollow laugh "Your the devil and you killed only person who I can call family and Here I am taking orders from you" 

Silence still in the air the wind was cold and the vibe was chilled. "You seduced me and made me forget why i am here, now all of a sudden you are reminding me of that horrible night. increasing my confusion" 

She put the gun down and walked away. Her heart pounding. 

"Stop"

Said the voice on the speaker and Khushi's heart raced she stopped. She shut her eyes jamming them tight her breath heavy. 

"Turn"he said in the same soft voice and Khushi didnt even know when her body performed the action she turned. Her eyes still jammed tight.

Suddenly she could feel a moist breath on  her face. It was his breath she knew his every touch feel breath smell. His eyes his lips even his hardness she knew all his spots but the only thing she didnt know was what he looked like.

Her heart pounding her body trembling the suns raise slowly rising into the morning sky. He was here he was there she could feel him. 

"Open your eyes" he said in a soft tone 

Khushi was shocked she remain still was this the day that she was finally going to see ASR what was going on. whats happening her eyes still jammed tightly afraid to open them. She didnt know which direction to go in. If she opened her eyes and saw him will the relationship be over between them or will it get stronger fear in her heart the shock of horror on her face her eyes still shut. 

He traced her lips with his fingers. His soft fingers played havoc in her head in her heart his love taking over her. he again said in a soft voice. 

"Open your eyes"

Khushi remained silent for a few seconds his breath still flowing on her. She asked in a soft voice "If" (pausing) "If I open them will you leave me and go away" she asked in soft voice laced with fear and pain. She at no cost wanted to him to leave and go. She couldnt afford that at all revenge or no there was an unspoken bond that tied their hearts to each other and she couldnt loose it at any cost it was almost as good as loosing her own life. 

ASR remained calm the silence was killing her from inside what was this man up to. 

"Open your eyes"

Chapter 15

"Open Your eyes"

Khushi couldnt bare it any longer and within a spilt second she opened them the sun now fully taken its position in the bright blue sky as the birds chirps. The raised filled on the dark figure as she got her vision. A man standing there in front of her. Tall handsome chiselled face toned body strong and fierce. 

"Arnav" 

She looked on shocked.  He stood silent in front of her. His dark eyes staring at her his breath still washing over her face. Their hearts pounding the waves crashing the birds chirping but not a word between them. 

Silence filled their surroundings. Khushi had a lump stuck in her throat seeing Arnav stand right before her. A million thoughts running through her mind unable to put her thoughts into words forget speaking them out loud. 

"Khushi" he called out her name softly almost as though his heart was calling her. She just stood their in shock in complete and total shock. 

"ARNAV" she said softly still unable to make sense of anything. He remained silent 

"Your" (pausing) "Your ASR" she asked softly blinking still trying to make sure what she was seeing and feeling was indeed correct 

"Yes" he said in a low tone audible only to her confirming the news to her. 

"Your.. You  You.... ARNAV.. ASR... Watching me.... The whole Time.... In front of.... you were... I dont understand.... I..." she babbled to herself in confusion as he watched her closely throwing her hands into the air in frustration. 

Holding her by the shoulders "Follow me" he said in a rough voice. holding her hand dragging her across the shooting rink. Khushi blindly unable to still make sense of this puzzle. She didnt even know when they left the docks and reached a tiny little cottage by the sea. Silence enveloped the room as he locked the door from behind and stood in front of her. Khushi still trying to make sense Arnav ASR 

"I am ASR" he said in gruff voice something that Khushi just wasnt use to, especially because in her mind Arnav was a fun loving chirpy always joking character. it was hard to imagine him in the skin of ASR the tough mafia gangster who ruled the skies the seas who was a mystery, who the world feared. The man who ruled her heart. 

"No your not" she said not believing him rejecting the idea of him even being ASR. "Your pulling a joke, This is some kind of a joke." she babbled again to herself Arnav stood steady in front of her watching her. He knew he had to be patience to give her time to understand what was going on. 

"I am ASR" He said in a soft voice once more. "No your not" she yelled at him back "Your Arnav" she shouted back at him hitting him hard on the chest punching him. This is some kind of a joke she was completely and totally scrambled and it wasnt funny. 

"ASR" he said once again "Arnav!!" she screamed back at him "ASR" he chimed just to get her to understand "Arnav" she yelled trying to make sense "ASR" "Arnav" it went back and fourth. Till he held her tightly by the waist and pulled her close to him and within mins  he placed his lips on her soft red ones kissing her taking her by surprise. 

The kiss lasted for almost a good 2 mins. Arnav pressed his tongue carefully playing with hers hitting all the right spots making her understand making her see reality that he was infact ASR and was also very much ARNAV. Biting her lower lip he sucked on it to sooth it to show her that he knew all her weak spots. 

Kissing her all over he reached her ears and bit her ear lobe hitting all the right notes slowly bitting her ear again he whispered in the same soft husky tone "So much for revenge kitten . You’re a goner for me" and within a spilt second her eyes flew open her heart pumped hard her mind instantly recoginsing that line. That line when she had her first encounter with him before he left he said the same thing to her. there was no one there but Him and her that day and that line played often in her head with the same tone how could she forget that tone it was the same tone he used right now. It was him it was really him. "ASR" she said softly still in his embrace as he hugged her tightly pulling her into a protective hug. Tears trickled down her cheek as she felt his warmth. Her hands slowly rubbing on to his back holding him tight. "I believe you"  she said in a soft voice.
