“What are you thinking, princess?” he asked.

She shook her head. “Nothing. I’m just hungry. Let’s eat.”

There was a knowing flash in his eyes, but he didn’t call her out. With a small smile, he helped her serve the dish and set the table for dinner. They sat across from each other and began to eat.

She enjoyed eating with him each night. After a hectic day at work and when she scrambled her other commitments, she looked forward to spending the time with him.

“Rashmi plans on asking Sameer out on a date. I had to warn her not to scare him.”

There was a flash in his eyes before he once again looked amused. “I thought you liked Sameer.”

She smiled, recalling the times she tried to use Sameer as a shield to fight the attraction towards her arrogant neighbor. “I do like Sameer. He is very sweet. But I like him only as a friend.”

There was a smirk. “And why is that, princess? Why just a friend?”

The arrogant ass knew what was missing. But he expected her to spell it out.

“Chemistry,” she replied. “There’s not enough chemistry between Sameer and me. We are good as friends.”

When his eyes flashed in satisfaction, she narrowed hers. He was way too cocky, and she knew just the way to prod him.

She pretended to look thoughtful. “Although... they do say friends make the best life partners. So maybe Sameer and I might end up together in the future. And when we do, we might have the perfect chemistry. Maybe I should kiss him once to confirm if chemistry is just a myth.”

She reveled in the possessive flash in his eyes.

“Sorry to break your fantasy, princess. You already agreed to our deal.” His fingers wrapped around the back of her neck and pulled her close until his words fell hotly against her lips. “Which means you don’t kiss anyone but me because you are my girlfriend.”

“I’m not your girlfrien—” Before she could protest the term, her lips were caught in a scorching kiss.

By the time their mouths parted, they were breathing heavily.

“Are you still hungry?” he rasped.

She shook her head because her voice was stuck in her throat.

“Then let’s get back to the dinner later.”

She curled her arms around his neck when he pulled her up from the chair. Their mouths met once again, and passion took over. He carried her to her bedroom.

Tanvi was frustrated. Although her body lay boneless and content with pleasure, her mind was frustrated and restless.

Arjun had once again stopped as soon as she reached her pleasure. She rolled towards him and placed her hands under his t-shirt. His muscles immediately jumped under her palms, and she could hear his breaths increase.

“Why do you keep stopping midway?” she asked.

“You are not ready, princess.”

It was the same answer he had been giving her for the last two weeks since they began their affair. It drove her crazy. And it also made the arrogant man in control of their relationship. He was the one to drive her pleasure, and he was the one who stopped midway.

No more.

She needed to take control of their affair. She didn’t know how long it would last. But she wanted to experience the most of it with the most handsome, arrogant and exciting man she had met.

She narrowed her eyes as a plan began to form.

“What are you thinking, princess?” he asked in amusement. “You have that look in your eyes again.”
