He could see his spirited girl coming back by the way Ina shot daggers at him with her face turning a shade of red. Her body turned stiffed and she grabbed the collar of Viraaj, taking him by surprise.

" Scared? My foot. What do you think of yourself? I very well know men like you who try showing off their power and masculinity by maltreating women. Who gave you the right to misbehave with me. People like you make me hate all the men species. Do you hear me, I hate-"

Ina was cut off in between her rant when she felt the rough touch of his lips on hers. This time not getting lost anywhere, Ina began to struggle in his arms as he moved his lips on hers aggressively.

In the influence of the already painful and pounding headache or the hurt he felt due to her words, he couldn't think of shutting her up by any other method except kissing her. Feeling her constant struggle, Viraaj adjusted his leg in-between her legs that just made her hooked to him and restricted her movement.

Biting and nibbling her lips, he tried removing all the frustration and hurt he felt by the words that were uttered by her. Feeling him controlling her movements, Ina realised that Viraaj had blocked her movements making anger flood in her body.

She tried moving her lips, turning her head and arching her back in order to break free from him but in response, all she got was a loud growl that made her rooted to the spot. Unknown to her, her innocent ways of breaking free was turning on Viraaj than he already was.

Because whenever she moved her lips it acted as a response to his aggressive assault to her lips that made him crave for more. But what took Viraaj to heights was when she arched her back making her chest brush against his, sending shivers of needs and pleasure down his spine.

His throaty growl made Ina stop her struggle as his growl not only sounded dangerous but also desperate. The increased pace of his lips and the way his hands squeezed her waist made her want to stop all this before she herself gets lost in desire.

Viraaj felt much more relief by kissing her although he hated to accept this but somewhere down the line, he knew she was his medicine. He found an unexplainable solace with her in his arms that just made him more desperate for him, leaving him craving for more. 

She shivered, feeling his warm breath caressing his lips and nose while her mind was completely taken over by the desire that was ignited by the hot-blooded man, caging her. Her laboured breathing and moist lips that seemed to have a red tint due to his kisses made her look like an enticing enchantress to his eyes.

" Kiss me back," Viraaj slightly pulled back and whispered with an almost negligible distance between their lips. All resistance and struggle left Ina's mind and body, hearing his breathy voice that just made goosebumps appear all over her body. 

Opening her eyes, she stared at him closely as she tried to bring her breathing in control while trying to decipher the words that he just said. Raging Desire and passion were the only things she could make out in such a situation that made her feel giddy with ardour.

Seeing her dilated pupils, Viraaj couldn't have felt more encouraged that he dived again while pressing lips to hers but this time, he felt it slightly different. He felt all the blood running in his veins turning warm and heat rushing in his body as Ina tried moving her lips, the way Viraaj was guiding her. 

Feeling her reciprocating the same, Viraaj couldn't help but feel tingles in his body. It amazed him to the core that how the girl in his arms could affect him so much that a simple kiss could make him see stars in the bright daylight. 

Ina didn't know why she gave in to his wish and kissed him back but all she knew was that when he whispered those words, she not only heard the obvious heated emotions but also a request. A request of letting him in her space. 

The aggressive and increased pace kiss then had turned into a gentle and soft kiss now. Both Ina and Viraaj seemed to have forgotten the fact that their relationship was more on a professional line than the intimate one but for them at that moment, nothing else mattered than to be in each other's embrace. 

Taking the hold of her hand, Viraaj pulled them around his neck while kissing her deeply and removing the slightest distance that existed between them. His hand explored the skin behind his neck and moved into her hairs making her gasp softly. 

Her legs felt jiggly when his cold hands went to her nape and then moved her into hairs. Ina felt herself drowning in intoxicating emotions as she kissed him back. However, slowly Ina pulled back from Viraaj when she felt her lungs would burst due to the lack of oxygen due to the continuous snogging.  

Their breaths came out in rigorous pants as they both lowered their eyes and tried to think of what to say next. Viraaj was the first one to look at Ina by raising his eyes to her level who seemed to be turning red with each passing second. 

" Order some Breakfast and send some tablets for headache," He said with a hoarse voice to which he just got a plain and simple nod in return. 

" What do you want me to order?" Ina asked back, raising her head to look at the man who was looking at her as if he had seen her for the very first time. Moments passed, as they continued to stare at each other wondering the deep attraction that they had between them. 

" Your wish"

Two words were all that required to make her blush and lower her eyes in shyness. Giving a nod, she started walking towards the exit of the room while keeping her eyes focused on her not so interesting shoes. 

Unknownst to her, her blush and shyness were figured out by Viraaj that just made him smile like a clown while looking at her departing figure. 

One thing is for sure, your actions don't match your words, Ms Ghosh, Viraaj smirked to himself, reliving the things happened a few moments ago.

Marching out of his cabin, Ina resorted to ordering some breakfast and medicines for him. She ordered two Indian and English breakfasts respectively along with Advil tablets. Ten minutes was all that required by Ina to have everything set on the table in his cabin just like the way he had done it for her. 

Anxiety was racing through her veins as she again found herself in his cabin, checking whether all the food was properly kept or not. But she knew that all this was an excuse. Nobody would dare and do things wrongly especially when they are directly linked with the devil himself. 

So her checking up on all the things were a sheer waste of time, nonetheless, she still engaged her in all of that because she was concerned. Her eyes kept on showing her the vision of him being in acute pain just like the way he was before she had angered him and he dragged her with him. 

As she kept on rearranging the arranged things, Viraaj smirked on seeing her reaction with a satisfied look on his face. Standing at the threshold of his cabin, in front of his secret study room, he watched her like a hawk with his mind still relishing the taste and feel of her lips. 

If I am nice towards you, you become cold when I become cold towards you, you force me to be warm, he mumbled underneath his breath as he finally made his way towards her. 

Busy with her thoughts, Ina missed noticing the heavy footsteps of the man of her thoughts that were approaching her. 

With each and every meeting with this guy, he makes me more lost than I already am. Can't he just stay away or be clear with his actions?  I know my actions are ambiguous too but can you blame me? Today I didn't even stand like an idol. I struggled against his hold but hearing his growl, my actions immediately came to a halt though I wasn't scared of him still I couldn't explain what the hell happened to me at that time. Nevertheless, the next thing that happened just happened just shocked me to the core. His words though were an order yet sounded like a pleading request to me. And me being a complete slave to my emotions, bizarrely followed his words. But I wanted nothing out of it. I don't want him to think me as one of his girls that now that he had kissed me, he would easily get into my pants. 

The thought of him thinking her as a low-morale girl itself brought disgust to her mind and heart. Ina found something badly twisting in her heart imagining him treating her like the way he treated the other girls. Such profound emotions brought fresh tears to her big and yet sad eyes, unaware of the masculine presence beside her. 

Snaking his hands around her waist, Viraaj leaned and placed his head on her shoulder, snapping her out of her daze. " What the hell are you doing? Leave me," Ina said in a hard voice as she placed her hands on his and struggled against his hold in order to get out of his grip. 

"Shh!! I won't do anything. Stop struggling. My head is paining very badly, let me hold you," Viraaj huskily whispered in her ear and touched his lips on the hollow of her neck making her gasp. He deliberately brushed his lips on that area to remove unnecessary thoughts from her mind because he didn't like her gloomy face. He made his headache an excuse to hold her because though he didn't want to admit, he was very well aware of the effect she had on him.

Her hands went weak and she let him hold her, not for his peace or sanity but for hers. She felt the small hairs on the back of her neck peaking up at the slightest touch of lips along with her body that seemed to relax under his touch.

" Umm... The food is getting cold." She reminded him softly while trying to remain in her senses as his closeness was acting like a drug to her body. Humming deeply, he slowly released her from his grasp and looked at the food presented in front of him. 

" I didn't know what you would like to eat so I just ordered two dishes..." Ina began justifying herself feeling more nervous than ever but stopped when she peeked up at him to find him looking at her with a smile. The glee on his face was all that was required to pull the strings of her heart. 

His smile reflected radiance and she wondered how much she never noticed this feature of his face. Maybe because you two were busy biting each other' asses, her mind said tauntingly. 

Having a bad headache from the morning, Viraaj just couldn't seem to control his smile and emotions seeing his highly-strung woman who just displayed such contrasting sides that just left him amused. 

Just a while back she was looking at me as if she will burn me alive and now look at you my girl, all coy, confused and anxious but I like it, he thought in his mind as he shook his head in negation and patted the sofa seat that was adjacent to his.  

" Have a seat, Ms Ghosh. Eat with me. I guess I have got influenced by someone who didn't like to eat alone," A stunned Ina's eyes followed his movements and fought the urge to smile at his comment which he had directed towards her. 

Taking slow steps, Ina stepped near the table and took her seat. Being adjacent to him, her knees slightly brushed his making electricity pass through both of their bodies.  

Where the hell I am stuck, God?
