[MEMBERSONLY][NOCOPY]

Here is the Part 4

Arnav's hold over her became tighter while he said under his gritted teeth, "I can't stay away from you and [ voice rose in pitch] I won't let you be away from me either when we both know that this is inevitable...I made a mistake and I am sorry, but I am not here for seeking an apology ...I just wanted to see ...[His voice goes softer with concerns]...wanted to see that you were fine...[ He paused seeing himself swimming in her tears, which were killing him in return ] ...Khushi! Stay mad, yell at me, fight me, hit me, but don't stay away from me ...[He pleads] Samjhin tum.![ Understood] ...he shook her by raising his voice pressing with demand...

She looked directly in his eyes, "Why? Why do you even care about a girl like me...why does this even matter to you...haan...?

"It mattered to me then and even now and every time...I said all that bullshit because of your safety was at stake! ---I wanted you to be safe first and that was only possible when I could find the source of the threat..."

Her eyes grew bigger...with erratic heartbeat.

"And you seem to be forgetting one tiny detail about your past - the one you should've told me about the very first day we met."...She had indeed forgotten about that. His eyes turned quickly from dark to caramelized one in seconds -- a look that had become achingly familiar to her heart... Khushi found it difficult to breathe under those molten orbs...but she fought back...

"Lie...another lie...you just ..."She couldn't finish when her phone started ringing...Instead of her, he placed his hand in her apron's pocket, besides her protest. It was blinking Raj's name... She looked up at Arnav's face, which was turning dark with anger and the very next second her phone was flinging across the wall where it crashed into pieces...

"Arnav!" ...Khushi pushed against his chest in anger while screaming his name.

Arnav caught her hands and pinned them against the wall over her head, and his lips came crashing down on her. The kiss was rough and angry from both sides as Khushi found herself responding with the same intensity without being reluctant. Her blood started boiling with this heat between them ... his lips were sending an electric jolt right through her core. They broke apart, gasping for air without leaving each other's eyes even for a second, but the anger was rising instead of going down...

She started squirming for her release, but his grip became tighter than ever...and he tilted his head ...took advantage of her parted lips and first caressed them with his breath before sucking on her lower lip ...but it was rougher than before...Khushi felt the fire through her core and moaned as his tongue started digging deeper into her mouth..., He himself started losing himself into her softness...she could feel his manhood touching her bottom...

He released her hands pulling her closer from her waist with one hand while keeping others under her neck ... intertwining his fingers with her thick hair. His tongue started tasting the warm recesses of her mouth. Khushi was lost in his heavenly touch and began moving her hands up and down to his muscular torso without hesitancy. Arnav slithered his lower body to make her aware of his intentions...and that made her open her eyes...pushing him away by using her both hands on his chest...

He stumbled on his track and fell down on the carpet...but winced with pain...He got to cut through a small chisel sitting at the edge of the table behind him while falling behind losing balance...Seeing blood on his arm coming through his white shirt... Khushi rushed to him...sitting down right next to him with worrisome voice... "Oh my God!" "did I hurt you badly...I'm sorry ...Arnav I'm..?"

Seeing her worried "It's alright Khushi," Arnav said by holding her hand tightly, pulling her closer to him, "You can't deny Khushi...cadon't defy either...You can't stay away from me just like I can't ..."

Looking directly in his eyes...ignoring him completely...You're bleeding...Let me see your wound..."

He knew ...her small heart wouldn't allow her to see him like this..." it's nothing...just a small cut ."

"Yeah, right !!! I can see how small ...Take off your shirt!...and I won't repeat it again, Mr. Raizada..."Khushi commanded riling upon her rights on him.

He smiled over her gesture"Okay!" but snorted while taking off his sleeves to show her his cut..."See...It's a small cut...and tried to put his arm back into the sleeves, but she stopped him...looking directly into his eyes, "Small yet needed to be cleaned and dressed."

She went to the side room and came with first aid box...and helped him take off his shirt...She tried to avoid looking at his toned muscles oozing just machismo ... and kept dressing his wound...Arnav winced by the contact of the antiseptic solution...Khushi dipped cotton more with antiseptic and cleaned the wound just to hear his painful voice...as an act of revenge...She raised her eyes after not hearing a word...and was stunned seeing him smirking at her knowing her intentions... his heart was dancing with joy over her one innocent act...

"You deserved it for throwing my phone...it could be Baba..." That's all she could utter in her defense ...

Regardless, her innocent revenge was making him free of anguish which was burning him a couple of minutes before...but her mentioning phone wiped his smile from his face ... knowing who was calling her...

"Take mine if you needed to talk to Baba ... but it was Raj...who brought this mess around everyone, "He pulled his arm away from her hands rudely with annoyance. "

Her eyes jolted up seeing deep meanings in his eyes... and grabbed his hand again without caring his darting daggers...and finished the dressing...

She realized, her body was hot after dressing his wound... His proximity under the piercing eyes was more than enough for her erratic heartbeats...

Suddenly Arnav' s eyes fell on her wrists...and he held them in his steely hands yet gently...He looked deeply in her eyes being concerned and apologetic...

He knew he was harsh...He was aggressive in his frustration, no doubt ...

He brought his lips over her bruised wrists...and by closing his eyes...pressed into her flesh with a soft kiss...Heat surged through her entire body...the only thing she could hear was her thudding heart ...

Without looking at her by raising his head.."I'm sorry Khushi!! I couldn't think anything else but to make everything right for you...I'm just like that... You don't know what I was going through when I saw and heard that news ...your purity was just dragged into filth and we have many rivals in this business..., "what if something had happened ..to you?"

Khushi blurted out in her whispers "So What!!! If something had happened to me?"

"Shh -" "Don't you ever say that again," he fumed over her rant, "Nothing would happen to you...I won't let anything happen to you ...ever." He looked directly in her eyes...

Khushi's eyes churned up with tears hearing his care for her, but she lowered her eyelids ...didn't want to show her vulnerability and hurt anymore...and tried to get up when he pulled her back to him...right in his lap...her hands held his shoulders as a reflex in a hug ...she tried to push him away in her anger, but couldn't move away an inch from his stronghold...His tight muscles were enough to indicate his annoyance over her antsy actions...

She encircled her arms around him, but the tears which she stopped before...started flowing slowly from the corners of her eyes...and soon she was shaking in his embrace...He wanted her to vent out all of the pent up frustration and anger..."Khushi!! I lost my parents in a car accident at the age of 14, trust me it is more painful to live with their memories rather than having no memories at all. You found the best parents ever...So don't you ever think...that you are alone...I will always be there for you...I Promise!!!" ...Khushi detached herself to see in his honest eyes...feeling his thumb removing her tears...erasing her pain...

"Always! By your side..."

she hugged him back...till she stopped crying...

Detaching herself from him, He looked into her eyes by cupping her face and then tilted his head to capture her lips one more time...but this time softly and gently while playing havoc with her senses...

Strangely, she felt no fear, anxiety, or anger anymore...On the contrary, she was peaceful... but her mind stirred with questions ...What was happening to her? Why was she drawing into him like this? Why?? Why can't she remain angry with him??

But her heart was dancing along with her tongue...which was trying to dominate here...her hands slowly slipped around his shoulders sliding into his hair ...All his angst, frustration and worries vanished seeing her alive and at content in his arms being responsive, trembling with need.

This side of her simply made him ecstatic and he took over, his mouth hungrily started devouring her ...feeling her pulsing against him...They didn't realize when they were on the carpet...

taking her under him...in his arms...His lips started trailing down her neck to the valley of her mounds ...Khushi arched thrusting her breasts at him feeling heat spread through her bloodstream...Arnav's one hand started skimming her body till he cupped the mounds, kneading over her shirt while his lips reached her collar bone...taking her flesh in between his lips...made her moaning with pleasure...His lips trail back to her lips when he digs his tongue deeper in her mouth this time ...synchronized with hers...dancing erratically...

Khushi felt unbearable sensation building in her core ...She let out a moan while holding his hair tightly in between her fists...feeling his hands slipping under her shirt touching her buds with his thumb... her erratic, irregular breathing was enough to arouse him further...when his phone started vibrating again...bringing him back to the reality table...

He was ignoring it but found it as a signal ...to slow down...He raised his head and his eyes encountered the most mesmerizing vision...He hadn't planned to go this far but the way Khushi melted in his arms by his touch and the way he got affected by her, was all new to him.Not a single woman had ever melted him like that...Her vision was more than enough for him to go along with this need of their bodies but he stopped...

He placed her gently on the carpet by pulling his arm out slowly from her back and stood up...her eyes were still closed due to recent activity breathing heavily...He moved outside the cabin and picked up his phone to see several missed calls from Aman...He immediately dialed the number.

**************

In an hour he was in AR office of ...getting surprised seeing his Di in Lukhnow..."What happened Di...??? Are you ok? Why are you here in Lukhnow??? he asked all these questions in one breath being so concerned...

Anjali with a rim of tears, "Is Khushi fine? Did You hurt her...you hurt only one person who really loved you, ..How could you do that Arnav?"

He interrupted his Di being in an arduous state..."Di, I did what I had to ..just to save her...just to bring everything back to normal ...I just couldn't ..."

It was acquiring an extreme strenuous from his side to even comprehend all of this...and he stopped further...explaining

Anjali put her hand over his shoulder feeling this strife within...they both shared a deep look...words didn't need to express concerns and gratitude from both sides...

********

Wrapping up his deal with French delegates ...talking over new strategies for Raj and his gang for future with Aman...but his mind was enveloped with Khushi...Her innocent closed dazed eyes were still in front of him...He left her for her own good ...She couldn't resist him but still somewhere in her mind, he felt her resistance ...he wanted her to cross over that barrier to meet him on this side ...willingly...where her heart and mind could mingle at his level... ...just to be with him...His mind had accepted this and now it was time for her to embrace that...He knew she needed time...and he was ready for it ...

*****************

Khushi was holding the new phone in her hand...looking at the message "Khushi!!! I'll be waiting for you..."

Her mind went to the Lakehouse...their recent encounter had left a mark at her soul...she turned around and couldn't recognize herself in the mirror... she indeed had transformed...in his love...with his love...A lonely tear started rolling down over her cheek from one eye ...making her aware of the true meaning of it...it had only one name written on it...She stopped it right there with her fingers ...not letting it drop...

She didn't realize it before, but his extreme protective side for her made her aware of her true feelings for him...He could be arrogant, cocky, possessive, and curt but he was the one who made her feel special in years...Her viceroy...Her Laad Governor...and he was right...She couldn't deny it anymore...She wanted to be with him...forever..

*****************

He was looking outside the window ...when his phone vibrated...His eyes bathed with joy seeing her name flashing out...but his smile wiped away reading it...taking him in deep thoughts

"Arnav!!!

Time had thrown me into tests one after the other but Baba took care of each...He made me forget who was I...and this was the first time someone else besides him had done the same with me...made me special in his eyes...in my eyes...made me feel worthy to live for...It's You Arnav, who had touched my soul in such a way like no one, You made me feel ecstatic with every touch of yours...your nearness made my heart flutter with joy...It's you who I feel around me all the time ...but after you left, I thought about us...about our future... I need time...we both need time...I'm leaving for London right now...I'll see you in a month...during this alone time...we both won't talk to each other ...Promise!!! Because before finding each other, I need to find myself...

Yours's truly

Khushi...

Arnav closed his eyes...feeling her closer than ever...his lips whispered her name.."Khushi!!!"

Sitting in-plane...she opened her eyes immediately and put her hand over her heart..."Arnav..."..her lips slipped his name only...

*************

the lights diminished to a low almost eerie, prevailing darkness around with the dying humming voices...among the cheerful crowd... till stillness settled down within space...when the music started along with spotlight around the catwalk of moving feet and toned bodies enveloped in colors ... the luminosity of which was being captured by every angle...penned down by every hand swiftly.... making breaths rising and falling with harmony ...Show stopper just made her last round... when suddenly bedazzled audience drew in its breath blown away by the vision...stood up for two ladies who made this dream come true...every expected eye captured the unforgettable moment...Khushi walked with Anjali under shimmering lights with a clap of thunder...Anjali could see her glowing face which was showering her oozing Love for only one...

Khushi's eyes were just roaming around to have a glimpse of one and the only one... seeing her excitement Anjali leaned towards her hugging her from sideways ...,"He's waiting for you over the Tower Bridge ..."

A nervousness grew in her, So he did all the work by keeping distance by fulfilling her wish ...Her heart refused to stay away any longer and she dashed out towards her destination...

He was standing there...on the bridge ... drawn into flickering lights and shimmering water ...when his heart picked up her presence...He turned around...and here she was...enveloped in a blue gown...gleaming in beauty...Both got frozen at the moment when she started walking towards ...first and then hurled into his arms and buried herself in them. It says so much- even after all this separation, his embrace meant so much to her.

His arms cocooned her within...and both stood there holding each other...no words were required within the touch of their hearts...when she raised her head ...caressed his cheek finding herself swimming in his caramelized eyes...

She was home ...her heart knew that...

She leaned forward and pressed her lips over his...while his lips refused to leave her by tightening his grip over her waist...bringing her closer than ever ..an assurance not to let her go ever...

The moon was high in the sky among some clouds gliding over its paleness making this night more serene... the water in the river was reflecting a deep hue of midnight blue, rippling different shades of lights within each billow...

Her blue chiffon dress which was adding heat over this cold night was spread along with his tucks in his ship's cabin ...Royal blue ...a color of Virgin Mary...a color of utter royalty...a color of Sky and heaven...YES! His Khushi ...an angel sent from heaven ...just for her viceroy...her Laad Governor...was HIS for forever...

She was lying in his arms ...making him complete...mingling souls together...Yes! She was at home...He was Home...!

Birth of a new journey was set over this Christmas while the new year was around the corner...
