"What's up Sonakshi?" he asked sternly.

"Happy birthday Dev." She quickly blurted out, forwarding the flowers and clenching her eyes shut tightly.

Dev stared at her not knowing what to do or say. He was just dumbstruck. He did not expect Sonakshi to be so abrupt and sudden. He wanted to retire for that day and not wake up at all. Celebrations were planets apart for him. All he wanted was a day in peace.

He was not prepared as well. He wasn't angry... He was just feeling unprepared and blank. Seeing her, all his gloom and anger disappeared. Usually if anyone else had done this, he would have screamed at them straight away. There was no other means he would have dealt with a late night wish.

However, Sonakshi was always an exception. She was his happiest secret that none of them around him understood. She was his softest spot. After his two years of separation, his equation with Sonakshi changed a lot. He could not blast his anger on her without thinking twice. It was not because he was scared, but he was already aware of how much she had gone through in life because of him.

While he was busy, taking small steps towards their healing relationship... he just couldn't believe that his mother was spoiling it behind him.

"Dev?" Sonakshi's eyelids opened slowly when she realised that Dev did not respond. He did not even blink at her for a few seconds. Sona was now truly regretting her life decisions. She hoped she didn't ask for a death wish.

"If I scold you now, will you be upset?" he asked, still not accepting the flowers from her.

Sona's face twisted uneasily and her lips formed into an adorable frown. Dev resisted the urge to kiss her pout, but he remained firm. He had a stoic face and hard glare which made Sona shrink further.

"Dev, you have all rights to scold me. I am sorry if this made you upset." She held her ears in apology and Dev went all in awe.

His heart blossomed and for a brief second, he forgot about all the misunderstandings that happened between him and his mother. He forgot the quarrels that happened and just looked at the cutie pie in front of him.

Rubbing his hands together, he raised his hands and showed his palms flat.

"Give me." Dev smiled and Sona's face lit so brightly. She was so happy that she had to stop herself from squealing out loud.

Sonakshi gently placed the flowers on his hand and looked at him expectantly. Dev felt her fingers trembling when she touched him. She was so insecure and unconfident...

"It's beautiful Sonakshi.... I never had anyone giving me flowers before." He smiled and her face sparkled.

"Oh.... Really? I know it's a stupid idea-"

"No, no... what I meant is, it's really beautiful Sonakshi. I love these flowers. It's as pure and lovely like you." He remarked, making her lips stretch into a lazy smile.

"I am glad you liked it. Also, I have one more thing to give." She fiddled with the envelope before passing it to him. He could see the nervousness in her face. Nevertheless, he still accepted the cover and looked at her curiously.

"Dev... I know I should have told you this earlier. But you see, things have not been very good between us the past few years. We had a lot of misunderstandings and this news just slipped away from my mind. But today, I feel like it's important to let you know about this." She stated with lots of hesitation.

Dev's eyes diverted to the envelope that she gave and his heart skipped a beat. The last time he opened the surprise envelope that she left behind, the news broke a piece of his heart. It took him months to recover from that shock. Now what was the news she had?

Dev did not wait for anymore surprises. He impatiently opened the papers and took out the card from inside. The minute he saw the card, his eyes enlarged.

Manoj Sharma Joyful Hearts Foundation

Dev's heart tightened as he stared at the words for as long as his eyes could take in. He felt like it was a dream. Why didn't he think of this idea? He looked at Sonakshi and gazed back at the card. He lips couldn't decipher the right words to tell her.

"I know that I should have informed you earlier. Honestly, it's only been a few days ever since we are back. The day you recalled your memories, was the day our life started. Only then, I remembered your birthday was arriving. When Arjun revealed to me the reason behind why you don't celebrate your birthday, I realised that this had to be the best time to give you this news."

"W-why?" Dev's voice sounded so hurt and happy. He was emotionally down that he could no longer give speeches like her.

"Initially after I gave birth to Simi, my life was too boring. One of our children died while the other was not with me. I felt lonely....... I started work early, then came home late, slept my day sometimes with nightmares and then went to work the next day again.... Life was meaningless and I felt the urge to do something that gave me satisfaction. I wanted to feel less lonely. I wanted to feel worthy..." she expressed while Dev gave her the vulnerable look.

"That's when an idea came by. Trust me, it was a joint effort. I had a colleague who suggested that I invest my capital at the café below my hospital. At that time, the café was up for sale and from the profit I made, I could help the poor and needy. The idea sounded really good..." she bowed down, unable to see his face.

"So, you took it?" Dev stated, more in disappointment.

"Yes, I did."

"And you didn't think about informing me?"

"At that time, I was really angry with you. I even hated you so much........ In fact, I did this to divert my attention from all the hurt around me." She stated with bated breath and Dev nodded with understanding.

She looked at him and saw him wipe a lone tear from his eyes. Her eyes softened and she palmed his cheeks softly. Dev didn't do anything, instead he just allowed her to touch him. He felt comforted by her touch.

"How did this foundation come by then?" he asked, looking at her again.

"This...... this foundation is for kids who are abused, kids with mental health and children who are dealing with various troubles at young age. I just did not want another Dev Sharma or Sonakshi Agarwal to be created in this world again. Whatever we went through was our fate. It was an absolute misfortune and disaster. But with the success and money we have, I am sure we could make a change for the future generations." She smiled and Dev smiled with her. That smile of hers was so infectious that he felt it spreading throughout his body.

"Why Manoj Sharma?" he asked genuinely wanting to hear her reply.

He wondered why she didn't name it after her mother or something. Because this time, he knew that the name was not decided recently. It was a decision made very long ago and he had wanted to know her ultimate goal behind it.

"When I wanted to name the foundation, the first name which appeared on my mind was your father's. Honestly, I don't think I could have named something better than that.... If there's a reason why I am alive, it's because of him. I owe this life to him and whatever hope he had induced on me.... I will pass it to the future generation. I know that I am not as courageous or strong like him, but he will always take the credit of making me who I am today." She said with a proud smile.

Dev felt so moved. Honestly, he loved hearing her say something so pure and genuine. It was something he longed to hear from her. Although he had many conversations with her about his father, he had never heard her saying much. It was only today, he heard her speak out.

"Dev... today, I have small memories of my mother's words, emotions and little moments. But you know what surprises me?" she asked and Dev's eyes grew curious.

"What?"

"I don't really remember my mother's face much Dev... I remember her presence around me so well. But her face has somewhat faded inside my mind. I can't really remember how she looked except for the day when she died in my arms. I can't..... But I remember your father's image so well as though I had seen him yesterday. It's like I have known him for years.... His face is etched on my mind and I still remember how he looked at me the last time." Sona took hold of Dev's hands and kissed him numerous times.

"I don't even know his name until you told me. But I still feel like I owe my life to him. I feel like I am obliged to provide others with what he had given me."

She did not know why she couldn't stop her tears. But she felt so indebted, so loved and so appreciated by Dev and his family. They were the only ones who were there for her in the time of need. The more she realised, the harder she felt her emotions taking a toll inside her.

"I love your father so much Dev.... He was the second person, after my mother who taught me what real love was."

"So, I guess, I am the third. Huh?" Dev asked teasingly, making Sona chuckle.

If her speech did not surprise him enough, the next thing she did completely took his breath away. She woke up from the ground and hugged him tightly. Accommodating herself in his lap, she kissed his cheeks, down his jaw and neck. Her lips lingered around his stumbled as she enjoyed his powerful and dominating essence.

She just felt the overly-maddening desire to be closer to him. She felt clingy and she did not care if he hated her. She did not care anymore of what others were going to say or think. Something inside her snapped as she hugged him tightly and rested her thoughts on his shoulder.

Dev felt so in awe.

"It's not fair Sonakshi..... this is not done." He frowned and Sona pulled away from the hug. She looked at him amusedly while he wiped his tears. She really broke the dam inside him and now,he was weeping like a child.

"What's wrong?" she pouted. Dev loved her sulking face. She was fucking cute with that adorable frown.

"It's unfair that you're making me emotional on my birthday. You should be punished for making me cry." He cupped her face and kissed her pouty lips. She was just a handful to deal with and Dev couldn't even complain.

"I am sorry..." Sona laughed and kissed his lips slowly. Dev just couldn't deny those lips. If anything, they were his only solace on earth. His secret heaven.

"I swear, this is the best birthday gift Sonakshi. I love you so much for this." He mumbled between the kiss.

He captured her lips again and made sure her forehead was pasted to his even after she left his lips. She made him feel emotions that he thought he was incapable of feeling. She made him feel sad, depressed, incredibly happy and overwhelmed all at the same time. Dev bit her lips hardly, transferring all his unsaid words.

As if she read his mind, she responded equally with a passionate kiss. It took them approximately five minutes to stop kissing each other madly.

"Thank you so much Sonakshi..... You have not only given me the best birthday gift. But also made this day a very memorable one. I thought I was only destined with bad memories...." He cupped her face tenderly and kissed all over her face.

"But you proved me wrong, love..." he looked at her longingly.

Sona's eyes widened when he said that. She shook her head and her fingers coiled around his thick locks. She loved the feel of him. He looked at her while she waited him to speak.

"Sona, I never had any expectations from anyone in my life. Let it be birthday or any other occasion... I never expected gifts or praises because I always got them without asking for it. But recently after you entered my life, I started expected things from you. I have changed.... I started softening up and I feel like I am clingy. Honestly, I don't care because I love this change. I can't believe that your presence changed me." He caressed her cheeks softly and saw her eyes lighting up.

"But today..... I am afraid that I can't protect you. I am afraid that I can't protect your beautiful heart from this world..... from the people around me. You have handed your heart to me and I feel responsible for it. I just can't see it getting broken again and again." His eyes saddened and Sona's heart cracked deep inside. She captured his fingers on her cheek and kissed them.

"My heart never gets broken...... when it's with you." She said after a long pause.

Dev scanned her face and she really looked believable. Vikram was right. She has become a great actor now. If he did not find out about the conflict between Sona and his mother, he would have really bought her lies. But now, he already knew that she was masking her hurt inside to make him pleased.

Until now, she did not utter a word about what happened at home and what transpired between her and his mother. She did not give any explanation about her unconsciousness either. He could not understand why she was still hiding issues from him. Maybe she wanted to avoid a conflict. It was too late anyways.

Talking to her for more time, he understood that she was trying hard to make this day a happier one for him. And this time, he really wanted her plan to succeed. Sona never really planned anything in her life before. Even if she did, they always failed. Therefore, Dev did not want to let her know that he was aware of what happened between her and Asha. He wanted her plan to be successful at any cost.

He really wanted her to feel happy. He wanted to give her the satisfaction and happiness that she was able to make this work. After all, this were the little things that gave her major happiness. When he played along, he noticed her genuine smile and joy that glowed on her face.

Her happiness was his happiness. Maybe if she realised that, his life would be much easier.

Sonakshi couldn't help but smile ear to ear. She was so happy that her plan of wishing Dev a happy birthday was success. Although the day did not go by her plan, at least she was able to convey her deepest feelings to Dev. She was happy that they were able to have that conversation at night.

Sona did not know when she fell asleep, but when she did, she felt at peace.

That night was probably the hardest night to pass for the rest of them in the Sharma mansion.

------------------------

Asha woke up with a brain-freezing migraine. She walked outside to see the usual sight of Tara and Arjun pulling each other's legs. They looked so happy. Simi was still asleep in her room, so Asha looked up to see if Dev or Sona were coming down.

It was already ten in the morning and Dev's room remained locked. Asha felt uneasy as she kept looking upstairs. She knew Dev was an early riser. But after last night's tiff, she did not know how to face Dev anymore.

All she ever wanted was Dev's happiness. But last night, she saw that he was never happy with her decision. Her outburst on Sona had made him so angry that he didn't even see her face. She already wasn't proud about the situation, but the least she expected, was for Dev to be a bit more understanding. She was just hurting silently and he refused to see her pain.

Today she realised that if her decision did anything, then it only made him disappointed and sad.

"Maa? Why are you standing there? Come on, let's have breakfast." Arjun called out.

"Arjun, did Dev come down?" Asha massaged her temples as she found it hard to open her eyes.

"Urm... not yet."

"Do you think we should call him?" she asked hesitantly to which Arjun shook his head.

"No maa, we should let them rest. It's still early and Sona just got discharged last night. Dev too was also running around the whole day yesterday and I am sure they need rest." Arjun said as he walked with Asha till the dining table.

"Arjun...about last night-"

"You should sort it out with Dev." Arjun cut her off. Because he knew that Asha and Dev really need a lot of closure. Nothing he said or did would clear the tension between them.

If he started speaking, he was scared he would take Dev's side. He couldn't fully blame Dev though because Dev was just taking a stand for his wife. He was right at his position while Asha was finding solace in her own way. Asha couldn't say that he didn't warn... He did!

However, in the end Arjun still felt pity on Asha. She looked miserable and sad.

"Tara, do you think I made a mistake?" Asha looked up while Tara just gave her a helpless look.

"You see maa.... Um... honestly, I know that you were hurting that day. I don't really blame you. But I am afraid that it has gone a bit far this time. Like Dev bhai said, if something happened to Sona's life, then there is no action to reverse it. No amount of guilt or pain could match the loss. The question now is not about whether we hurt Sona or not.... But we have somehow lost Dev bhai's trust. He trusted us with Sonakshi in his absence." Tara said with a long sigh.

Tara was very clear-headed when it came to conflicts. She was always vocal and clear with her points and solutions. She never knew how to hide her opinions or thoughts. She was always the first to own up her actions and consequences. Last night, whatever happened made her reflect a lot on what could have been done.

Asha heard Tara's words and her face shrunk in grieve. She sat there hardly touching the food on her plate. She just could not eat.

"Maa, please don't think too much. Once Dev and Sona are here, we can talk it out." Arjun tried his best to relax Asha's state.

------------------------

Dev turned around and saw Sonakshi's head resting on his chest. He yawned and looked at the ceiling blankly. It was way past his bed time and he should be getting ready to do so many things right now. But he had no mood to leave the bed and face everyone below. He did not even want to wake up.

Sona was more than happy to accommodate herself in the bed with Dev. She was cocooned in his body, with her arms surrounding his waist and her head squeezed inside the crook of his neck. She always had a habit of moving around in bed. She was never in the same position. She would turn around numerous times, mostly grinding on Dev in the process.

Dev had no idea what she was trying to do. If there was a way to get inside his body, she would have definitely found the way in her sleep. Her not-so-innocent touches, hot rubs, small kisses, brushing of her lips along his nape, made him all turned on.

Now he knew the reason he really sprinted off from the bed early in the morning. He just could not stand her teasing moves. If he stayed there long enough, then he would just pin her down and fuck the daylights of her.

When she turned around and her hands brushed his crotch, he lost it.

"Sonakshi, that's enough. I am getting up!" Dev snapped.

"Noooooooo" Sonakshi whined, making Dev roll his eyes. She quickly hugged his neck and wrapped her legs around him.

"Do you know that you're worse than Simi? You are making me frustrated." He groaned.

"I can reduce your frustration.... All you have to do is ASK." She bit her lips, making Dev's heart flutter uncontrollably.

"I hope you know what you're asking for. Later when I ask, you can't get away with your stupid excuses." He warned.

"If I remember correctly, I don't ever give excuses." She said, still in her sleepy tone. Dev looked at her and his dick jolted to life.

"If I were you.... I would keep my mouth shut." He warned for the nth time.

"Why must I keep quiet? I can't do that-"

"Shut up Sonakshi." He said and Sona gasped.

"How dare you ask me to shut up. I can't do that...whenever I am quiet, you ask me to talk and when I talk, you ask me to shut it. If I shut up, how will you find entertainment. Forget about yourself. How will I find enter-"

"Watch your pretty mouth, sweetheart." This time Dev's voice screamed danger. Only thing was, Sona didn't sense it yet.

"Gosh, you're so troublesome. What did I do? I was only-"

"Fine. Strip down this minute and sit on top of me. NOW!" he commanded and there was a dead silence in the room.

"Okay.... I will shut up."

"No too late. Now!"

When Sonakshi froze up in her place, Dev lost it. it was too late for him to keep his hands to himself. Dev instantly flipped Sonakshi under his body and locked her hands above her head. All the sleep evaporated from Sona's eyes as she looked at him in panic.

"What are you doing?" her voice sounded alarm as if she wasn't expecting this attack at all. She thought that Dev was just joking like all the other times.

But today, he was frustrated beyond beliefs and Sona had no idea what she had started.

"You thought that I was playing a fool?" Dev said with a rough edge in his tone, making Sona's eyelids flutter innocently. Dev cursed as he saw how innocent she looked. When she bit her lips in anticipation, he lost his sanity.

Before Sona could defend herself, Dev slammed his lips harshly into hers and grabbed her neck to stabilise her face. He was so rough as he forcefully parted away her legs apart and settled himself there.

"You said that you will help me release all my frustrations, right? Fine... let's try that." he said, slowly gathering her night dress in his palms and dragging it above her thighs. Sonakshi's breathing quickened as she watched his eyes darkening dangerously.

"Dev.... I was sleeping... You woke me up rudely." She said weakly and Dev smirked.

"The fuck you were sleeping!" he cursed and Sona winced.

"Ermm... Watch your language."

"It's too late to think about that, Sonakshi. You're awake now, and that's all I care." Dev said, holding her locked hands in a death grip and pushing it above her head.

Once her hands were secured tightly, her chest automatically raised up, making her fully defined breasts in full view for him. The image almost looked like they were begging him to be touched. Sona's fastening breaths didn't do anything to calm Dev's dirty mind. They indeed increased his thirst for her taste. She looked so innocent and devour-able.

Releasing her hands for a while, he removed his shirt and twisted it until it looked like a rope. Tying Sonakshi's hands on top of her head, he made the knot near the bed rest. Sona had no idea how he was able to tie such a strong knot. It was almost like he was trained to do it. Pulling the restrains, she realised that it reacted too hard on her wrists.

She really asked for a death wish.

"Dev.... You're really going to tie me?" she gulped as Dev saw her face turning white.

"Yes. Any problem? I thought you wanted to explore my fantasies?" he asked and Sona cringed. He was not the Dev she knew anymore. His tone, his behaviour and speech all changed when he was in bed. He was totally a monster in bed. A handsome, desirable and lovable monster.

In just a few seconds, Sonakshi's top was torn into half. Sona's heart jolted in a mixture of fear and uncertainty. This was too much of roughness to handle. The look in his eyes made her feel like he was going to eat her up. Like literally....

"D-Dev. I wanted to learn slowly.... You are s-so.....f-fast." Sona stammered. Her heart drummed inside her chest as he continued undoing his trackpants.

"I can't spoon-feed you on everything. Be an adult and learn it through experience." Dev said as he casually discarded his clothes on the floor below. Sona could not help but blush when she saw the sunlight colouring his golden skin.

His well-defined muscles, triceps and abs which trailed down to his v-line, made her throat dry. Even a slight movement from him caused his muscles to flex adequately. She didn't know why but she licked her lips, but it was needed to hydrate her poor dehydrated skin. She tried not to look downwards, but when her eyes took a little peak below muscular his v-line.... gosh.

Rest in peace - Sonakshi's heart.

He was definitely a piece of work. From top to bottom, everything about him was appealing.

"If you're done checking me out, can I start?" Dev leaned down, dangerously placing both his hands on either side of Sona's head. He was purposely intimidating her. He was making her scared and unsure of what his next move was.

Sona realised that this was the Dev Sharma whom she initially met. The dark, dominating, desirable and naughty guy who spooned her heart was resurfacing back. The mischievous Dev was not gone. He was still there, holding himself back. But now that he was back, he was in full form.

Although he became a softer person with her recently, this was who he was. It was the real him.

"Dev, please be gentle. I just woke up and I....do-don't even-"

"Shhhh, if you want to do this... then I am going to have my way with you and you're going to accept it! No matter what...." he hissed, making her shiver. Sona felt the hair on her skin standing upright with every word of his.

"And listen again..." he placed his entire weight on her and brushed his manhood over her underwear seductively. He was practically dry humping on her without any foreplays.

"This is going to be about me sunshine... I am going to be very selfish today and use your body for my pleasure. This day, is going to be about me. Understand?" he gripped her jaw and made her look up.

Sona's heartbeat stopped when she saw his darkening gaze. He was so hot and dangerous at the same time. She wouldn't lie if she said that he made her scared. But didn't she ask for this? She did not know what she was thinking when she asked him about exploring his erotic fantasies. Whatever he told her were nothing, compared to what he was doing here.

She watched him bafflingly as his dark coloured hair fell down and covered his perfect chocolaty-orbs. His full lips carried by his chiselled jaw and high cheekbones, made her heartbeat accelerate dangerously. The sound of her breaths got louder when she felt his breath on the nape of his neck.

Licking her neck, Dev dragged his lips down to her skin, devouring every ounce of uncovered skin. Using his fingers, he clawed them at her flawless skin of her pelvis.

"Aahhh" Sona winced as she pulled her restrains. Unfortunately, everytime she pulled, her wrists were painful and her hand was getting sore.

"Painful? Do you want to chicken out?" he gave her a mocking look, making Sona glare at him.

"Seriously Dev? This isn't funny." She frowned and Dev really had a kink for her adorable frown. She really had him coiled under her fingers without even realising. That cute pouty lips were his undoing.

Dev this time scooted away and sat up on the bed. Taking a full look at her, he leaned to the bedside table and opened the second drawer from there. Sona's eyes scrutinised at his actions. Her eyes displayed confusion until he took a pocket-knife from there. She swore she had a panic attack.

"Dev? What the hell?" she gasped and saw his eyebrows raised.

"What did I tell you about your smart mouth?" he asked and she instantly sealed her lips shut.

"I... I a-am sorry..." she whispered and Dev controlled his smile. He was having fun.

Dev leaned towards her and dragged the knife along the swell of her breast. Sona's heart hammered against her chest when she realised how sharp the knife was. How dare he play with it? He leisurely slid the tip of the knife under her bra strap and cut it.

With every strap coming undone, Sonakshi's heart jolted up and down. She knew she would blame Dev if she was diagnosed with high blood pressure.

As he dragged his sharp knife downwards, Sonakshi's skin trembled on her own. Dev could see her struggles as he drew the knife tip down her stomach.

"Dev, I have gone through a c-section. I am just reminding you, in case you forgot." Sona clenched her eyes shut.

"Did I ask you to speak?" Dev glowered and she shook her head left and right helplessly.

"S-sorry..."

When he was done teasing her enough, he finally brought the knife down and cut the strings of her underwear which was holding the material together. Sonakshi finally blew the breath that she was holding for long. He was definitely planning to kill her.

Dev slowly descended down on her and started torturing her intimately. She swore under her breath when she felt his little junior brushed down on her folds roughly. His movements fastened as he found pleasure in letting her suffer.

"Dev..." she moaned while her toes curled upwards in pleasure. She did not know that she could find so much pleasure in such teases.

Dev's palms found her bosoms while his lips attacked the curve of her neck. Dev pinched her nipples and squeezed her bosoms till she was withering helplessly. In no time, he descended his mouth and captured her perfect globe while massaging the other.

Sonakshi squealed as she felt his passionate attacks getting more intense with time. Her back arched on her own as she eagerly chased the pleasure that he wanted to give her. From top to bottom, every part of his was giving her pleasure and she couldn't contain it. Moreover, the restrictions she had drove her insane.

She inhaled the sweet masculine smell of him which intoxicated her nostrils. She never knew she was so addicted to him until she was tied like this and made to feel powerless. She now really wanted to feel him up with her hands.

Dev was careful when he dealt with her. He was going to show her that sex didn't have to be pleasurable all the time. For Sona, it was always black and white. Today, he was going to punish her and show her that he had the power to deny her satisfaction. He internally smirked.

"Dev, please untie my hands." She begged when she could no long take his member brushing her cores. He was making her pulse feel numb as he denied her release.

"No.." his short replies only made her desperate.

Just when Sona felt her orgasm close, Dev stopped. This prick!

"Dev, please... Ouchhh"

When she least expected it, he entered her folds with forceful intrusion. He heard her suck in a sharp breath and eased on her. He knew exactly how much he could push her limits and how well she could take it. He easily read her and it wasn't hard to find what she was thinking when they were in bed. She was transparent like a glass when they made-out.

"Oh god, Dev...." Sonakshi screamed when he started pounding on her mercilessly. Her palms clenched on her own as she felt so much of pleasure hitting her nerves at the same time. She did not know what brought him so mad or maybe turned on early in the morning. Oh well, yes, she pushed him a bit but she was only playing.

The feel of him inside made her enjoy harder than she expected. Her walls clenched his length tightly as she heard his pleasurable grunts. She was so close.... So damn close when he stopped. Sona's eyes jolted opened and she looked at him helplessly.

"DEVV? What was that?" her eyes widened and sweat beads rolled down her nape. She was now panting breathlessly as her eyes held his accusingly.

Instead of answering her, Dev sunk his teeth starkly on her collarbones and bit hardly, making Sonakshi scream. Her mouth formed a big 'o' as she waited for the pain to subside. When she couldn't take it, her legs wriggled.

So, this is what real bite means.

Just when the pain was getting unbearable, Dev pushed his length slowly inside her. Sonakshi's eyes closed on her own accord as she felt him fill her up until the brim. This was pure pleasure and pain.... She was so drained and turned on at the same time because of him. She really needed her orgasm and she wanted Dev to finish the torture for her.

"D-Dev... pleaseee" she pouted.

Dev looked at her and a small part of him felt bad. Maybe he was doing a little too much. Poor soul, didn't even know what he was planning on. However, the excitement of getting her reaction drove him mad. He wanted to know how she would react. After all, she wanted to explore his fantasies, right?

He cupped her face and kissed her pout while thrusting inside her. This time his moves were slow and steady. He knew the pace and he made sure he wasn't giving Sonakshi what she wanted. When he felt her walls clenching around him, he changed his pace.

Sonakshi was horrified after a few minutes. Her pulsating clit got numb and it became painful. She wasn't dumb... he was purposely denying her orgasm and it made her frustrated.

"Dev... this isn't funny." She moaned when he picked up the pace.

Sonakshi felt his length swelling and pulsating inside her. He was close and so was she. By the way she pulled the restrains, she was sure Dev's shirt was going to tear apart. Dev picked up his pace as he pounded on her madly. Sona's face contorted in confusion.

She wasn't used to his fast-paced movements. She always reached her high with a slower and passionate thrust. However, he did not seem to care now. Dev's hands held the back of her thighs and he thrusted his hips hardly.

With another hard push, Dev came undone inside her. Sona's eyes widened as he slowly rocked and rode his orgasm out. She didn't even cum and he was already done?

Dev brushed away the wet strands of hair from her face and kissed her forehead in satisfaction. Sona was still as shocked as she was in the start. Her legs which were wrapped around him, refused to leave his side. He denied her! He freaking refused to let her orgasm! Is he trying to be funny?

"Dev.... Tell me you're kidding me!" Sona was exasperated now. She was beyond irritated. He was torturing her for hours and now this!

Dev pulled out from her and slowly untied the restrains from her hand. The angry red lines painted across her wrists made him terrified. When her hands were freed, Sonakshi winced and pulled her hands closer to her chest. Her arms really hurt....

All the while, Dev's eyes bored her angry ones. His eyes turned concerned when he saw the redness on her skin. It looked painful. But he was quickly distracted by her questions again.

"Dev, what was this about? What did I do?" she asked innocently and Dev internally screamed in glee.

"Didn't I tell you earlier? Today, everything is going to be about me. This is supposed to be your punishment, sweetheart." he answered, making her dumbfounded. Mad would be an understatement to what Sonakshi was feeling.

"B-but.... but you can't do this." She argued.

"Oh sweetie... I can." He faked a sad pout, making Sona angrier.

She quickly scooted up and gathered the blanket to cover her torso. She looked at Dev unbelievably. He was so infuriating. She never expected that he would do this. Not even in her craziest nightmare. But Dev was really enjoying her anger.

He wanted to give and take. Now he wouldn't be the only one who's always desperate.

She would want him equally as much as he wanted her!
