Part 6. You're Mine
He was still holding her hand tightly when one of the lift doors opened.
She was still angry, but she wanted him to pacify her somehow, because she knew that she wanted him to take her into his arms and kiss her senseless.
He was still angry, but the feel of her hand in his, and the sight of her curves were fast driving him to the brink of his self control. All he wanted to do was to take her into his arms and kiss her senseless.
The lift doors opened and he strode inside, pulling her in behind him. The lift was somewhat full, with two elderly couples dressed in their best wedding finery obviously returning to their rooms after the celebrations. Raman pushed Ishita against the mirrored wall, putting a hand on either side of her head, as he stood facing her.
"Plenty space" one of the two elderly gentlemen chirped up. "Aap Idhaar aa kar comfortably stand karo na."
"Raman" Ishita nudged his shoulder with hers. 'Aap jao udhar"
Raman did not move, his eyes staring into hers, his hands on either side of her effectively making her captive, even though he was not touching her in any way.
Ishita looked down, embarrassed.
The elderly mans wife begun chuckling " Let them be, Dilshad. Lovebirds lagte hai" she said, even as the lift glided to a stop, and both couples walked out, the women giving indulgent smiles to the blushing Ishita as they left.
The lift doors closed again. Raman and Ishita were alone in the lift, with twenty floors to go.
Ishita raised her eyes to Raman's. He was still staring at her with unwavering intensity, but his arms now moved, one hand snaking behind her back as he pulled her in towards himself, the other anchoring them more firmly to the wall.
Their eyes were now mere inches apart, their quivering lips almost touching.
"You're mine" they were the first words he had spoken to her since dragging her out of the bar. "I can't see you with anyone else. I wanted to kill him Ishita. You're only mine." The hand on her back caressed her spine. "Don't you ever forget that."
"And you're mine" Ishita retorted. "Only mine. And don't you ever forget that"
His lips finally curved into a smile, as the lift glided to a halt again. They had arrived at their floor. He removed his hand from the wall, freeing her, then immediately took one of her hands in his again.
"Come" he said firmly, as he led her out of the lift. "Let me prove to you that I am yours."
