Chapter 5:
Asad couldn't believe what they had just done. How had he lost control of the situation? He was meant to be protecting her and here he was sleeping with her. Memories of what they had just done assaulted his mind causing his body to harden instantly. He had wanted this five years ago, he wanted her now and he wanted her still. Curse it all, things were going to get complicated.
He stared at the woman sleeping beside him. Her body bore the marks of their lovemaking. Her lips-plump and swollen, her hair tussled and her body delightfully bruised. Asad stifled a groan as he felt his body harden further in response. He had to get out of this bed before he lost his mind and made love to her again.
"Asad," she whispered softly.
Zoya sat up and looked at him. Why did he look so worried? She didn't think...
"Do you regret what we did?"
Asad stared at her. Had she gone mad? How could he ever regret any time he spent with her?
"Zoya...I...Zoe..."
"It's ok, I get it. Well at least it's over with. We both had an itch that needed to be scratched and well...it got scratched."
With a huff Zoya got out of bed leaving him to wonder how things had gone south so fast.
***
"The plane has landed and our people are in place. Zoya Farooqui will be just a name by the end of the day."
"I want the body, Silas. I need tangible proof that she is dead. People need to learn that nothing good ever comes from betraying a man like me."
"But...but...how are we to take the body from the airport without raising suspicion?"
"That's not my problem now is it?"
Silas sighed deeply. He knew better than to argue with his boss. The man wasn't the cruelest man in Mumbai for nothing. He would have his head if he didn't comply with his wishes. Time to inform the team of the change in plan.
***
He was being subjected to the silent treatment, great! They were back to square one. There he had been, in bed, trying to quell the hardening response of his body and there she sat thinking he regretted it. Damn her! She wasn't even willing to listen to what he had to say. He just couldn't win with her.
"Zoya, can we be adults about this for a few minutes?"
Zoya's eyes narrowed.
Damn he had said the wrong thing...again. Apparently, pointing out the fact that she was behaving like a child wasn't a good conversation starter. Great going Asad!
"That didn't come out right. I just meant...can you...I mean would you please just hear me out for five minutes?"
She nodded. It wouldn't hurt to hear him out. It galled her to the bone that he regretted what they had done. How could he give her the best sex of her life and then look like he was in physical pai...OH SHIT!
Her eyes widened as a thought dawned upon her, it was official she was an IDIOT!
"Mr. Khan, please make sure all seat belts are fastened. We are landing in Mumbai in 10 minutes."
