Ragini

I didn't sleep the whole night. Not even for a second. The fact that he was sleeping on the same bed, so close to me, didn't let sleep come anywhere near me while he slept very well. So unfair! I didn't even move a bit from the position he put me into and that side of mine was now aching like hell. He moved a few times but not enough for me to get any kind of benefit to get away from him.

He was ruling over me in sleep also!

It was eight in the morning now and he was still not getting up. Once he wakes up and leaves, then I'm going to cover up for my lost sleep.

He moved again and frowned before starting to open his eyes. His brown eyes met mine black ones. He didn't say anything but pulled me to him again by putting his hand at my back because I moved back a little to avoid touching his wound.

He brought his face to my neck and started nuzzling it. The nuzzles soon turned into kisses and then into open mouth kisses, making me get goosebumps. Unintentionally, I clutched tightly on his chest making my nails dig into his flesh. His grip on my back tightened at that and then he started sucking the spot where the neck and shoulder meets.

I was unmoved. It was like my body got numb.

It was the first time I was getting so close to a male even though I didn't want to. A shirtless man was devouring my neck like crazy.

I felt one of his hands travelling from the other side of my neck to the shoulder and then arm until it reached my stomach. For a while, his hand kept roaming on my stomach, over the tshirt. I gasped when he slipped his hand inside my t-shirt and it made direct contact with my skin.

A wave of deep fear ran through my adrenaline.

I protested by moving, trying to get away from him but he held me more tightly.

"I dare you to get away." he mumbled lowly yet dangerously.

And I became a statue.

He kept moving his hand on my stomach while sucking every inch of my neck with his lips at the same time. His hand felt so rough on my skin.

I let out an unwanted groan when he kept sucking the same spot for a bit longer. I knew it was definitely going to leave a mark.

He then started making circles with his thumb around my navel. I was biting on my lips to control myself from making any kind of noise because of the feeling I was getting due to his caresses. I was shivering under his touch.

"Please stop!" I begged, whimpering.

"I ain't going against my words." he spoke as he pulled the t-shirt down from my shoulder.

He then started kissing the more exposed skin of mine, nibbling it with his lips.

I was feeling so vulnerable. My body was going insane because of the physical closeness and tension.

I definitely wanted him to get away but there was a thing which was confusing me and that was the fact that I wasn't feeling disgusted by his touch anymore, like I used to, in the beginning.

Why?

Maybe, I'm just starting to get used to this beast's touch.

My breath got hitched as his hand inside my tshirt started moving upwards.

God! Please save me.

I don't want this.

"Bhai, are you there?" we heard Ryan's voice with a knock on the door.

Thank you for being my side at least once.

"Later!" Laksh shouted, bringing his face out.

Damn it! Just get the hell out of here!

"Bhai, it's important! Mr Khanna is here. You called him right?" Ryan spoke.

I heard the mafia growling in irritation as he took his hand out of my tshirt.

I took a breath of relief at that.

"Tell him to wait. I'm coming in ten minutes!" he said as he sat down.

"Alright!" Ryan said before going away.

The mafia got out of the bed and I sat up immediately, pulling the tshirt back onto my shoulder and getting self conscious, more than ever before.

"Get freshen up and have your breakfast." he said without looking at me and then left.

I got out of the bed and stood on my legs but my legs didn't support me. They were shaking too much. I was feeling like they turned into jellies. I lost balance but luckily caught the bed and sat down on it. I was sweating badly even though the AC was working at the lowest temperature.

"What's happening to me?"

I took a few long and deep breaths to calm myself down and wiped the sweat. Even my palms were sweaty. After about five minutes, my body finally relaxed. I assembled myself and made my way to the washroom to take a bath.

I was still feeling his hands and lips on me, giving me chills under the shower.

I got out of the washroom and put on the clothes and a pair of shoes.

Whoever has chosen the clothes for my wardrobe really has a great taste. I loved all of them.

I left my hair open as they were still wet and left my room.

When I reached downstairs, I saw Laksh sitting in the living area with a middle aged man. He was now dressed in a blue tshirt and grey trousers. Both of them were engaged in some conversation. Yuvraaj and Ryan were also standing there.

Without making any noise or disturbing them, I walked to the kitchen. The breakfast was already ready so I just filled a plate for myself and started eating there itself.

After finishing, I left the kitchen and the four of them were still there. I was walking past them.

"My daughter is waiting outside. I should go." I heard that middle aged man, whom I assumed to be Mr Khanna, said.

"No one's allowed to bring their family members inside my house!" I heard Laksh's voice which was depicting seriousness and unhappiness.

"I know, boss! She's waiting outside the boundary." the man said.

I reached the stairs and was walking up when I noticed Yuvraaj secretly going away from there, trying not to catch anyone's attention and then sneaking out of the house.

Something seems suspicious!

I walked upstairs and was about to turn left to go to my room but stopped when my eyes fell on the large glass window on the right, at the extreme end.

I've never seen that side. In fact, I've never explored this floor. Excitedly, I started walking towards it. Passing by the doors of the rooms which came on the way.

I reached the end and put my hands on the glass, looking at the front. The view was beautiful. Trees, mountains and greenery everywhere. So peaceful and relaxing. I then looked inside the boundary of the house and as always, guards were moving here and there while there were four guards at the gate only.

Suddenly, my eyes caught something and they widened.

Outside the boundary of the mafia house, Yuvraaj was standing near a car with a girl and both of them were eating each other's mouth.

Oh no! What did I see

I kept both of my hands on my eyes but the curious cat inside me was telling me to remove the hands. And I did. I removed one hand, opening my eyes and they were still doing the same thing.

My stomach started doing weird things. I have seen people kissing in movies but have never seen a live show, lol.

Then I saw Mr Khanna moving from the house to the main gate.

I jumped as I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw Laksh walking towards me with a frown plastered on his face.

Oh no! If he got to know what I was looking at then what would he think of me?

"What are you doing here?" he asked as he stood right in front of me.

"I... I was just looking at the view. It looks so beautiful from here." I answered, hoping him to believe my words.

Well, did it also mean that a couple eating each other's mouths is beautiful to see.

Ewwwwww!!!!!!

He knitted his eyebrows together and then looked behind me.

"Done or want to stare more?" he asked.

I looked on and turned around to look through the window.

I saw Mr Khanna getting inside the car with that girl whom Yuvraaj was kissing some seconds ago while Yuvraaj was nowhere to be seen. The car went away.

Haash!

"Yaah! Yes, I was just leaving for my room."

"Then go!" he said crossing his arms around his chest.

I started walking away and I heard the sound of him walking as well. I turned around again and saw him entering inside the room closest to the same window, at the extreme end.

That's his room!

I turned back again and walked to my room. I locked the door and lay down on the bed. I covered myself with the comforter and closed my eyes to get some sleep but I couldn't keep my mind off the thing that happened in the same room, on the same bed.

Is this my life now? He can do anything he wants to do with me. Anything and everything!

I'm his property or what?

Should I accept it? Or not? But if I don't then the outcome will be the worst. I can't let that happen but I can't sell my soul also. But if I need to keep my brother safe and alive then I have to do it. I have to bear him.

What should I do?

With these thoughts running in my mind, the sleep took over me.

When I got up, it was already two in the afternoon and I was feeling hungry. I hopped out of the bed and walked out of the room.

I walked downstairs and then to the kitchen. I was looking for something to eat when Yuvraaj entered inside and my mind immediately travelled back to the scene I witnessed.

"You didn't come down for lunch?" he asked as he filled a glass with water and started drinking it.

The boss didn't ask for me during lunch? Unbelievable!

He must not be in the house otherwise he would have forcefully brought me downstairs to eat. Huh...

"Arhm... I fell asleep!" I answered.

"At this time?"

"What else am I supposed to do? I mean, I have no other thing which I can do." I said as a matter.

"Yeah! That's also true. You're the most free person in this house." he chuckled saying this.

And most bored!

"Then, can you make a cup of coffee for me?" he asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah, of course. Tell me where the ingredients are. I'm a master in making coffee." I said proudly.

"I know that!"

He knows! How?

"How do you know that?" I found myself asking.

"You used to work in a cafe named 'coffee house' and your work there was to make coffee. I even had your handmade coffee once." he said smirking.

I was staring at him clueless. When did he drink a coffee made by me? Did he ever come to Anil uncle's cafe? I didn't see him.

"How do you know that and when did you..."

"Oh girl! Are you really so naive or you don't use your brain intentionally?" he said chuckling.

Huh?

"Have you ever wondered where bhai saw you for the first time?" he questioned.

Yes, this question has arisen so many times in my mind but I have no answer to this.

"He saw you at the cafe! I was with him that day and both of us had coffee made by you. You even showed your creativity by making that smiley face and heart on our cups of coffee." he said making me shocked.

"And why am I supposed to know this? I didn't see you there." I defended myself.

"I know you didn't see us but isn't it quite obvious that the mafia boss must have known everything about you before bringing you here?" he said mockingly.

"No! It wasn't because I have never known mafias and their ways. I was having no interest." I spoke irritated.

"Tch tch... And now the only thing you should be interested in is the mafia boss because he'll not like your interest distracted." he spoke making a chill run down my spine.

"Just stop it. You're irritating me." I said annoyed.

I didn't want to hear something more creepy about the boss.

Yuvraaj laughed at that.

"Just stop laughing. I'm warning you. Otherwise..." I said glaring at him.

"Otherwise? What'll you do?" he asked while making fun of me.

"I'll tell your not so little secret to your big brother." I smirked devilishly.

He immediately stopped and looked at me with a serious face.

"What secret?" he asked.

Time to blackmail a mafia! It's going to be too much fun!
