Bhumi's POV:

"Bangalore? What's the need for that? We just got used to having you here. Why would you go away now?" Jalaja dadi cried out when I informed the family about our decision to move to Bangalore for six months.

"Dadi, it's only for six months. We will be back in Mumbai after that. We won't be leaving forever," I said, trying to convince her.

"I don't want you to go," Dadi said sulkily.

"I need to finish my course, dadi. It will be so difficult to manage if I get a transfer to some university here," I said.

"Let her go, Jalaja. Moreover, it's hardly a two-hour flight. We can go see them whenever we want," Dadu said.

"Call me every day. I will be waiting for your call. Make video calls. I want to see all of you. What if the little ones forget us after going to Bangalore?" Dadi said, already dreading the possibility.

"They are not going to forget you, Dadi. And I promise to call you every day," I promised, and she nodded, though she was not convinced.

"Where are you going now?" She asked me.

"I am going to Aryamann's office. I am taking lunch for him," I said.

"Oh! Lunch date? Huh?" Dadi teased me, and I am damn sure my cheeks gained colour at that.

"Uh! I was in the mood to cook today. So I thought I would take lunch for him. Since he is taking a six-month leave from the office, he will be working himself to exhaustion for the next couple of days," I said, knowing my husband very well.

"Men!" Dadi muttered, making me chuckle.

"Don't laugh. Your Dadu was no different. I had to drag him out of the office many times. I was over the moon when finally he retired and left the reins to your uncle," Dadi said with a huff.

"Okay. Let me get going. Call me if the boys trouble you," I said, pointing at the twins who were trying to trick Dadu.

"As if they are any trouble. They are so adorable. We would love to have them here anytime," Dadi said, and we both walked towards Dadu and the boys.

"No. I am Sammy. This is Abhi," one of them said.

"He is lying, Dada. I am Sammy. He is Abhi," the other one said.

It seems this has been going on for a while. And Dadu appears to be ready to pull out all his remaining hair.

"Okay, boys. Stop troubling Dadu," I said in a stern tone, making them pout.

They were enjoying it too much.

"Okay, mommy. I am Abhi. And he is Sammy," Abhi said, and placed a kiss on Dadu's cheeks as an apology. Sammy did the same.

Dadu embraced them both and laughed out loud.

Soon, I left for Mehrotra Inc.

As I reached the floor where Aryamann's cabin is located, I was welcomed by the receptionist with a bright smile.

A new receptionist.

What happened to Riddhi Seth, who hated me for no apparent reason?

"Hello, Mrs. Mehrotra. It is such a pleasure to meet you finally. I have heard about you so much," the other woman said.

"Hopefully nothing bad," I said, and she laughed.

"Not at all," she said.

"Is Aryamann free?" I asked.

"Mr. Mehrotra had asked not to send anyone in. But, I guess you are an exception," she said.

"Well, let's just make sure. I don't want you to get into any trouble for not following his instructions," I said, and she smiled at that.

She picked up the call and informed Aryamann that I was waiting outside his cabin.

The next moment, I saw his cabin door opening and the man himself walking towards me.

"Bhumi. You should have just come in. You don't need permission," Aryamann said, as he kissed my cheeks welcoming me.

Both the receptionist and I turned redder, making Aryamann chuckle at us.

"I will keep that in mind next time," I said, and we both walked into his cabin.

As soon as we entered, he pulled me in for a lip lock.

"I missed you," he mumbled against my lips.

"I know," I said in an attitude, making him laugh.

"This attitude, Bhumi. It makes me want to throw you on my desk and make love to you hard," Aryamann said huskily.

"Who is stopping you?" I asked in a whisper as I rubbed myself against his arousal.

Aryamann groaned and pulled me in for another kiss.

Third person's POV:

Their lips fused together, and Aryamann sucked her lower lip and nibbled on it. His expert tongue probed into her mouth and explored every corner of it.

In a swift move, Aryamann swiped all the contents on his desk onto the floor and pushed Bhumi gently over it. She was half lying on the desk, with her legs dangling downwards.

Aryamann pushed her legs apart and came in between them.

"You wore this skirt on purpose, didn't you?" Aryamann asked teasingly.

"Maybe. Maybe not," Bhumi said with a sexy smile.

Aryamann popped open the buttons of her shirt one by one and peppered a trail of kisses down her body.

"Is your cabin soundproof?" Bhumi groaned.

"I'll soundproof it the first thing after this," Aryamann mumbled as he threw her shirt on the floor.

His fingers went behind her and deftly undid the clasps of her bra, exposing those beautiful mounds to his eager eyes.

His head bent down, and he took a pink nipple into his mouth and sucked hard. Bhumi clutched his hair and pressed her lips together to stop herself from moaning out loud.

Aryamann got on his knees and raised her skirt above her tummy. He pulled her panties down and kissed her over her womanhood. Bhumi writhed on the desk, as she was enveloped with sensations.

Aryamann touched her there with his tongue, and Bhumi felt she would explode anytime now.

"Aryamann," she moaned as quietly as she could.

He touched her pulsating nub and gently massaged her there. Waves after waves of pleasure hit her.

"Come, my love. Come for me," Aryamann urged, and as though waiting for his command, Bhumi convoluted as an orgasm hit her hard.

Aryamann unbuckled himself and entered her in a single thrust.

Aryamann's POV:

I stared at Bhumi's flushed face as she arranged her clothes properly.

"Do I look okay?" She asked me.

"You look like a thoroughly loved woman," I said proudly, making her glare at me.

"What's that?" I asked, pointing at the paper bag on the couch.

"Damn! I brought you lunch. I totally forgot about it," Bhumi said.

"You are easy to distract, Bhumika Basu Mehrotra," I teased.

"What can I do? My husband happens to be the sexiest man alive in this world," Bhumi said with a sexy wink.

"Flattery is not going to get you anywhere, my love," I said, making her laugh.

As she opened the hot box, the aroma filled my cabin.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Nothing special. Just Mac and cheese. Boys wanted it. So I made a little extra and thought I would bring it for you too," she said and she set the table for me and served the dish.

I took a spoonful of it into my mouth.

"This is awesome," I said as I ate and fed her in between.

As we finished the lunch, she cleared the table and packed the empty boxes back into the paper bag.

"By the way, what happened to Riddhi Seth?" She asked and I remained silent.

She looked at me, narrowing her eyes.

"Did you sack her? What did she do?" She asked.

"Apparently, she wanted to comfort me after you left three years ago," I said, with a casual shrug.

"You mean she wanted to sleep with you?" She asked bluntly and I shrugged again.

"She tried to seduce you?" She asked and I nodded.

"That b*tch. I will kill her if I ever see her again," Bhumi said furiously.

"Calm down tigress," I said and pulled her onto my lap.

I held her until she calmed down.

"So? Is all your work finished?" She asked me.

"Almost. There are some loose ends to tie before I pack up for my vacation." I said.

"Vacation?"

"Of course. I will be taking a back seat at work for the next six months. That is definitely a vacation for me. I have never had a vacation in the last twelve years, since I joined the office. It is high time I relaxed." I said.

"Never a vacation in twelve years? Are you serious?" She asked me in horror.

"The first time I took a vacation was a couple of months ago, when Daksh forced me to do so. And you know how it turned out to be. So this would officially be my first vacation in twelve years." I said.

"Uh oh,"

"I am going to have a blast with my boys while you are at university." I teased her and she huffed in annoyance.

"I won't be at university 24/7. This is my final semester. There won't be many classes. Just the project. I will have to go to university maybe a couple times a week," she said.

"Even if you don't have to go to the university, you still have a project to work on. You will have to do that even at home." I said, adopting a sympathetic look on my face.

"Well, you are on a vacation. So you can definitely help me in my project," she argued.

"Uh oh. Computer Engineering is not my subject, my love. You will have to work on that yourself," I said with a shrug.

"Get lost," she said and stood up to leave.

I again pulled her into my lap and wrapped my arms around her.

"I would love to get lost in you," I whispered, making her blush.

I just love that colouring on her.

There was a knock on the door, disturbing us.

Didn't I give strict orders not to let anyone in?

Then who is it there?

Bhumi stood up from my lap and sat on the couch.

"Come in," I called out.

A grinning Gaurav walked in with the twins.

"Daddy! Mommy! We met Uncle Gaulav at the park and came here with him to sulplise you," Abhi screamed as they both rushed towards us.

What a wonderful surprise!

"Hey Bhumi," Gaurav greeted and looked at the mess on the floor and raised an eyebrow at us.

The way Bhumi blushed answered his unasked question and he smirked. I simply wanted to punch him on his nose.

"Oh they fell down? How?" Sammy asked, pointing the mess at the floor.

"Mommy didn't scold you daddy? She scolds us when we make our room messy." Abhi said.

"Seems like daddy and mommy together made the mess. Then how can Mommy scold daddy?" Gaurav asked, with that annoying smirk still on his face.

Bhumi looked away and I glared at him for making my wife uncomfortable.

"Mommy never makes a mess." Sammy, ever the loyal son, argued with Gaurav making me smile.

"Why were you at the park, Gaurav?" Bhumi asked and Gaurav smiled sheepishly.

"The woman I am trying to woo visits the park with her dog everyday." Gaurav said with a grin.

The guy keeps confusing me. Sometimes I get this strong feeling that Gaurav loves Arohi. But then I see him chasing after another woman.

Uhggh!

"So? All set brother? Finally a vacation after twelve damn years." Gaurav said.

"Yeah. Almost set. We will be flying to Bangalore the day after tomorrow. I will give all the important files to my PA and ask her to keep them safe. Just ask her for things needed." I said.

"Great. Go have fun. And don't forget about the dinner tonight." Gaurav said and walked out after kissing Bhumi on her cheeks.

"What dinner?" Bhumi asked.

"Mom called a while ago. She has arranged for a family dinner tonight. We never got an opportunity for that since we found you." I said.

"Dadi, Dadu and Nanu can be a little possessive," Bhumi said sheepishly.

"A little?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

The three of them have been occupying Bhumi almost all the time. They want her to always be with them.

That is one of the reasons why I wanted to move to Bangalore. That way, I could have my family to myself. At least for six months.
