Note for PMs:

Arnav felt he had barely touched his head on the pillow, before he heard loud wails, baby wails.

He felt a little disoriented He was having a delicious dream. He was making love to Khushi.

He had just begun undressing her. He had just kissed her senseless. He was just trailing kisses down her throat. He was just undressing her bit by bit'when the wail came.

'What the!' he grunted and half opened his eyes and realized it was his son. Khushi was already there trying to hush the baby.

He suddenly remembered the bet! Immediately he got up and marched towards Khushi, 'Give me the baby. A bet is a bet!' he said and extended his hands,

'Arnav please sleep. You haven't slept at all,' Khushi said concerned.

'And lose the bet? No way!' he said and took Raksh from Khushi.

'So what does the little fellow want now?' he asked looking at his son with an admonishing look.

'He wants a change and of course milk and a little entertainment,' Khushi said.

'Hmmm little fellow. Your timing is bad. I was just dreaming of making hot steamy love to your mom,' he said and winked at Khushi, who turned a crimson red.

'Arnav did you forget you just fell asleep during the last lovemaking session?' Khushi said mischievously, 'You have performance troubles Mr. Raizada,' she grinned.

'Really now? We will have to disprove that don't we?' he said.

'And how are you going to do that, since a failed performance is a failed performance,' she teased.

'You just wait. Let me take care of Raksh's needs and I will come get you,' he said.

'Na na na! I can't live through another non-performance,' she teased.

He lunged to pull her towards him, as he gingerly balanced Raksh with one hand.

But Khushi was too quick for him and ducked.

'Tsk! Tsk! Mr Raizada. You are getting old, and it is beginning to show,' she grinned wickedly, even as she evaded yet another attempt of Arnav to pull her,

'You wait Mrs Raizada. When I am done settling your son, you will know how young and energetic I still am@' he vowed in mock revenge mode.

'Let us see! For that you have to get hold of me,' she grinned, all the while standing a safe distance away.

Raksh gave another angry growl, turning Arnav's attention back to him.

'You are turning into a big haddi buddy! But then don't worry. Your mom and I have overcome bigger haddis and still remained a kabab,' he grinned.

Khushi watched as Arnav struggled to take care of Raksh's needs for the next half an hour. He refused her offer of help, insisting he now knew what to do and he needed to practice for future.

Khushi's eyes turned moist and her heart constricted as she watched the two most important men in her life together.

This happiness scared her. Her happiness had always been fleeting and always came shadowed with grief.

Though she knew she was secure in Arnav's love, the problems circumstances sprung on them had always created rifts.

She still had not told him about her real father. That dark cloud still loomed large.

After Raksh's birth, there was too much happiness to bring in the past. She had kept putting it off, knowing Arnav would be hurt if she confessed now.

For that matter she still did not know how to tell him and what his reaction would be. Would he be angry that she hid the truth and had let so many issues happen in their relationship?

Would he believe her if she said, she had only wanted to know if he really loved her despite her past?

The cloud of anguish came over her face.

As if sensing Khushi was feeling upset, Arnav looked up, as he was ricking Raksh to sleep.

'What's wrong Khushi?' he asked gently.

'N...nothing...nothing important' she said, looking away quickly.

His eyes narrowed on her face. He knew she was emotional about something. Was she scared this happiness would be clouded? He knew her insecurities.

He had to snap her out of the mood and so he decided to tease her into a good mood.

'Scared Mrs Raizada that I am going to come get you once your son falls asleep?' he asked.

'No way, I am running away now,' she said and lunged towards the door and ran out.

Khushi was sitting comfortably with Anjali when Anjali when Arnav came into the living room.

'Khushi come up I have some work,' he told Khushi.

Anjali hid a grin, knowing what her Chote might want. Khushi's answer confirmed her doubts.

'Mmm. I have to make lunch,' and she quickly got up and ran to the kitchen.

Thankfully Hari Prakash was there in the kiichen. Arnav wouldn't dare make a scene in front of him.

Well she was quite wrong there.

No sooner had she entered the kitchen that Arnav followed her.

'Khushi. Come upstairs. I have something to show you,' he said even as Hari Prakash stood gawking at them.

'Ummm, Hariji needs to choose the menu. I will come after that,' she dodged and disappeared into the other side of the kitchen, leaving Hari Prakash and Arnav together,

Khushi turned around to assure that Arnav was gone, and then safely came back to the living room.

No sooner had she sat down near Anjali, that Arnav's voice boomed,'Khushi, Khushi, come fast. Raksh seems to be a little pale,' he said.

Khushi hurried into the bedroom, forgetting everything else, terrified for her son.The moment she entered, Arnav banged the door shut behind her and said 'Gotcha' and lunged towards her.

Khushi's reflexes were quick as she evaded his grasp and rushed to the other side of the bed and said 'Don't you dare scare me about Raksh again!'

'Sorry about that! But you were getting pricey,' he grinned and then said 'Come here now. You can't escape me you know.'

She was on the other side of the bed and goaded him, 'Come get me if you can.'

As Arnav started moving towards the other side, Khushi ran to this side,

'Come on Khushi, grow up. Stop the game and better come to bed. Let's finish what we left unfinished,' he said wickedly.

'Not unless you can get me,' she said enjoying this game which she always played with him. She loved it when he tried to catch her.

A good ten minutes was spent circling the bed, Khushi throwing pillows at him and then the bed sheet over him, as she dodged him and ran around the room, all the while taking care not to disturb Raksh,

Finally, when Arnav caught her, she was all breathless. And they tumbled into the bed.

'You Mrs Raizada, are going to pay for this,' he said pinning her under him.

'How' she said feigning innocence.

'You will see how' he growled and began his seduction.

He kissed her lips, exploring its depths.

He bent down and grazed his cheek on her exposed neck.

He bent lower and kissed her breasts.

And as he moved lower and lower, removing garment after garment, he had Khushi begging him for release.

But he did nothing to give her the release. Instead he teased her,

'So, I am old am I' he asked as he caressed her soft navel. She arched beneath him and said 'No. I never said that'.

But he continued his ravishment, kissing her breasts and continued to ask her 'So I have lost the ability is it?'

Again she groaned and said 'No Arnav. Please.'

But he did not give in. He touched her core and continued to ask 'And I can't perform is it?"

She again shook her head, unable to speak out of the sheer agony of wanting him.

'So say please, Mrs Raizada, and I may take pity on you,' he grinned wickedly.

'Pleaaase,' she begged.

He nuzzled her soft lips again and whispered 'I could not hear you.'

'Pleassse' she screamed.

And then he took her in a sweet possession that made them both explode in ecstasy.

As she lay nested in his arms, he said 'So, do we agree Mrs Raizada that I can perform?' he arched an eyebrow at her.

'You Mr Raizada, are a merciless monster,' she poked his chest.

'Serves you right for challenging me,' he said as he kissed her.

'You can win this challenge Mr Raizada. But you cannot win the challenge over Raksh. You have still one more hour to go and let us see how you cope,' Khushi said,

'Phew! I have managed so much till now. What's going to happen in one hour? I will win,' he said confidently.

But the next one hour taught Arnav a whole new side to life and his own vulnerability as a father'..
