The last part made the amusement vanish on his face. She opened her mouth to add more excuses to her previous night’s behavior, but she gasped when he got up.

He got out of the bed, came towards her and then towered over her. “Are you saying it could have been anyone?” he drawled.

Her stomach fluttered at his nearness, and the subtle hint of his cologne made her want to bury her nose into his soft t-shirt.

“Yes,” she lied instead. “It could have been anyone.”

“Liar,” he said. He stepped closer until there was barely an inch between them. “You wanted me, princess.”

She wanted to deny it. But she couldn’t. Not when her heart began to race at his nearness.

He seemed to be similarly impacted because he sucked in a deep breath.

“Fuck,” he cursed. “You look so damn beautiful in the morning.”

She didn’t know who moved first. But her heart thundered when their mouths crashed together and met in a deep kiss. She dug her fingers into his hair and kissed him back greedily.

Their mouths parted when her back fell on the soft mattress. She realized he had pushed her towards the bed. He lay on top of her, and buried his nose into her neck while he took in a deep breath.

“You smell so damn good too,” he rasped.

Her stomach quivered, and heat pooled between her legs. Her face heated when he raised his head, and their eyes met. She recalled his hot and wet mouth on her intimate places.

His dimple flashed, making it obvious the jerk was recalling those moments too. “Do you recall agreeing to the deal, princess?” he asked.

“Yes,” she whispered. She did recall, although she had no idea what it meant.

She had been too busy floating in a passionate gaze. Even right then, all she wanted was to keep on kissing him.

“Do you know what that means?” he asked.

“Uh. What?”

“It means we are going to eat meals together. Spend time together talking. Of course, all of that with some mind-blowing orgasms thrown into the mix.”

Her mind focused only on the mind-blowing part. She had never had an affair before. But having an affair with her arrogant neighbor sounded quite thrilling.

“Fine. I agree.”

He grinned. “Good. So I guess that makes you my girlfriend from now on.”

Her heart jerked. “What! No. I’m not your—” Before she could protest the term, his mouth sealed their deal with a hot kiss.

Soon, she forgot what she was arguing about and wrapped her arms around his neck.

“You are late,” Rashmi scolded.

Tanvi was meeting Rashmi and Kavita at Rashmi’s place for lunch.

“Sorry, got caught up in some work and lost track of time.”

Her friend Kavita frowned. “Are you falling sick? Your throat seems sore.”

Tanvi’s cheeks heated. Since last night and until a while ago, she had been screaming and begging and threatening at the arrogant man so much that her throat became slightly hoarse.

“I... uh... got caught up in the rain last night. Must be because of that. I feel fine now.”
