Smiling, her boss leaned in closer and gently tipped up her chin. In full view of the fifty or so employees buzzing around the cafeteria, he covered her lips with his.

An Indescribable Emotion

There was no particular way she could have been expected to react.
Really.
Well, what did a woman do when her boss kissed her in the midst of a crowded cafeteria, and that too without any prior warning?
Maybe...kiss him back?
And that was exactly what she did.
Passion overtook her momentary shock, and combined with her swiftly escalating arousal. She opened her mouth gently, and allowed Arnav to battle his tongue with hers. A sigh left her as he tasted and took, while she tried to the same to him.
Only the untimely whispers, gasps and a surprising shatter of glass pulled the two lovebirds apart from their furious lip locking. With a mortified look in her boss's direction, and another towards her presently gaping colleagues; Khushi mustered all of the dignity she could, and walked away from the crowded area.
Muttering and fuming, she plunked herself down upon the chair and began typing furiously at her computer. A hundred thoughts raced around in her mind, and a hundred curses for a certain someone kept flying out of her mouth in a low tone.
How dare he?
Now what would everyone say about her?
Yes, she did sound like a hypocrite in her own mind; but it was a natural reaction owing to past events. What woman would want anyone to talk about her? To call her rude names? Yes, other people didn't matter to her, but this was her work. Her first job.
Had she already ruined it?
Continuing to mutter under her breath, Khushi tapped away furiously at the keys. She remained uncaring to the fact that she was preparing the wrong letter, and didn't stop her angry tirade. The computer almost protested at her violent attitude and gave out warning signals. It beeped once and then promptly stopped working.
Just like that.
All her data was gone.
"Gahhh!"
Unintelligible sounds almost gurgled from her throat, and she honestly felt like throwing something. First that stupid-laad governor-and now this computer! Nothing seemed to be working in her favor today. Nothing.
Getting up from the annoying swivel chair, Khushi pushed at the table so she could find out what the f**k had gone wrong with the computer.
She didn't have to wait for long.
The reason for all her misery stood propped against the wooden desk, standing oh-so-calmly with the computer adapter cradled in his bronze hands. Adding to the relaxed position, there was a whats-wrong-with-you-honey? expression adorning those handsome features, and his caramel orbs were widened slightly.
In amusement.
If the anger that was rattling her bones had ebbed away ever so slightly; it now came back with roaring passion. Her eyes tightened, and her fingers clenched into a tight fist. How dare he smile like that? Especially when her wrath was all his fault!
Her hands floated down to her sumo wrestler waale hips, and stayed there. With her glasses and current position, Khushi betted a hundred bucks that she looked like a schoolteacher. But hey! If that helped prove her point, then why the f**k not?
It appeared that her concrete stance did aid in the comprehension concerning her angry mood, for the handsome devil at the corner dropped the adapter, and came to stand in front of her.
Despite the anger running a marathon in her veins, Khushi grudgingly admitted the effect of his nearness on her. Every sense heightened in reaction to his proximity, and the tiny hairs on her neck stood in rapt attention.
Oh lord, why did this man have to be so wickedly...handsome?

Arnav knew he had it coming.
He had no idea how, but he knew it alright. Maybe it was because he'd grown up with a slightly temperamental sister, or maybe because he had an extremely rigid grandmother. From a young age, he'd deciphered danger signs.
And his girlfriend was exhibiting all the major ones.
Those tiny hands were clenched into iron fists, and he had no doubt in his mind that if she could punch him without getting in trouble; she definitely would. Succulent lips that offered him heaven when they met with his, lay tightened in apparent frustration.
And those eyes...those eyes that he just come to adore with all his being, sparkled as if all the fire had been lighted in her hazel lenses.
He was scared.
But not stupid enough to showcase it..
So with the understood gesture of surrender, he lifted his hands; palms upfront and walked closer towards her. He felt his reaction immediately, and her soft scent just added to the madness brewing in his nether regions.
Concentrate Raizada.
So with the focus of a man hell bent on pacifying his woman, Arnav stared into Khushi's gorgeous eyes, and prepared a truce in his mind.
Nothing came into his head.
Brilliant.
He cleared his throat, and then lifted his fingers to tuck an errant coil of hair behind his secretary's ear. But before he could even aspire to achieve his goal; his hand was flung away almost ruthlessly by his seriously antagonized girlfriend.
"Don't you dare Mr. Raizada!"
And Arnav took an automatic step back. His eyes widened as he took in the sheer anger in those gorgeous lenses, and his eyebrows furrowed in a mixture of confusion and concern. Had his action really prompted such a strong response?
He had only meant to reassure her-
"How could you do something like that Arnav? Do you know what people will be saying?"
For a moment, he stayed silent and understood the reasons for her anger as she continued to explain. Khushi shouted that now her reputation was at stake, and that people would talk behind her back. They would say that she was sleeping with the boss to get promoted.
With every sentence she spoke, Arnav felt that abominable anger rise within him like a tide. He tried to hold on to it, tried to stop it from surfacing. But her next words shattered the power of restraint like delicate china falling to the floor.
"Do you treat every single woman like this Arnav? Like a bloody plaything?!"
And he exploded.
With fingers digging into the soft flesh of her arms, Arnav almost hauled Khushi to himself. She crashed against his chest, and her eyes widened at his sudden move. Then those hazel orbs narrowed into slits as she struggled, and caged hands beat against his front in a vain attempt to get away.
"Get your hands off me-"
But he wouldn't let her complete. She'd done her talking. Now it was time for her to listen.
"Did you even hear yourself Khushi? Fine, clearly you didn't like that I kissed you in public. But what gives you the right to make these flimsy allegations? Huh?"
His assistant stopped moving, and her angelic face snapped towards him as he gritted the words out. Khushi's eyes dimmed a little bit, and her small hands stilled against the material of his waistcoat.
"I just did it so that you knew I felt nothing for Lavanya anymore. I did it for you, so that you didn't think I wanted just your body. I wanted to show everyone that you're my girlfriend. I wanted you to know that this relationship means something Khushi. And I thought you would understand that. Obviously I was wrong."
Khushi stopped moving altogether. For a few seconds, they both stood in that intimate position of theirs; Arnav breathing harshly from his monologue, and his secretary still reeling from the impact of his words.
He wanted to stay there longer. He wanted to hold her and say that it was fine. That her reactions were normal, and that he had no problems anymore.
But his ego didn't let him.
With a disgruntled noise, Arnav pushed Khushi away and walked out of her cabin.
