Page 59 of Love Locked
‘Yes, I’m sure it’s all gonna work out.’
Raina was enraged. She despised Kyra because she had managed to get two things which Raina had never gotten in all her years with Kabir; easy acceptance from Kabir’s family and love and commitment from Kabir. She wasn’t someone people could immediately forget. She wouldn’t allow Kabir to forget her. Not in this lifetime.
She took a long, deep breath as she sat inside the car and decided to handle this situation in her own way. She needed to do something. And that too right away. She just hoped their three-year-old relationship would unquestionably trump their separation of five and a half months.

Kabir leaned back in his chair as he looked at Kyra throwing daggers at Raina’s back. He never knew that despite Kyra’s innocent image and seemingly candid behaviour, she would act like a possessive girlfriend and that he would enjoy it. He loved it. He wanted to place a kiss square on Kyra’s mouth in front of everyone to just get Raina to stop talking.
“I never knew what you saw in her.” Kyra scowled at the entrance.
“To be honest, princess, I never paid her any attention. I’m sorry she ruined our date. You’re the only one I have eyes for, I swear.”
“And that’s the only thing that matters,” Kyra grinned.
As the server cleared their table, Kabir paid the cheque, and they both got up and walked to the valet to fetch the car. Kabir couldn’t help but feel protective of Kyra while they waited for the car. Gently yanking her to his side, he kissed her temple.
“I’m sorry, princess.”
“For what, Bir?” She frowned.
“I’m sorry for telling Riana about the wine-tasting incident. I didn’t think…”
“It’s fine.” She pressed her palm to his lips, shutting his mouth. “You don’t need to apologise for your ex’s behaviour. She’s not worth it. And to be honest, the past is in the past. I just care about being in your present and your future.”
“You’re so cute.”
“You think I’m cute?”
“Especially when you get all jealous and possessive,” he replied mischievously.
“Kabir Oberoi, brace yourself coz I’ll get a lot cuter when we run into more airhead girls from your past. You are mine, and I don’t like sharing.”
“It’s good to know we share the same ideas, princess. Coz I would surely fuck up anyone who tried to flirt with you.”
“Are you trying to seduce me?” Kyra peered at him coyly.
“Is it working?”
“Maybe. But I want ice cream before we get down to doing anything remotely sexy.”
“Let’s get you some ice cream then, and when we get home, you can be my dessert.” Kyra blushed severely as Kabir spoke. He smirked and looked hotly into her eyes as if she were the only woman in the universe.
Kabir couldn’t understand how she blushed every time he said something remotely possessive or dirty because there was not an inch of her body that he had not explored. He gave her a passionate kiss while thinking about how different he had become around Kyra. Whenever he was with her, he couldn’t stop kissing, hugging or holding her despite the fact that he hated PDA. He had changed, and Kyra was the catalyst for that shift. Or maybe love...
His thoughts circled back to the word “love” until they arrived at his place. His desire reached a new peak as a reaction to their intense kisses, infused with feelings of love and protectiveness. In a flash, he had her soft body between him and the door.
And his handsunderher dress… his fingersinsideher.

A FEW DAYS LATER…
Kyra stretched out her body leisurely while she was snuggled up in her blanket. The last two months of her life seemed like a beautiful movie playing over and over in her mind. She was content with her life because it had everything she’d ever wanted, including her family, Kabir and a successful career.
Nitya was incredibly thrilled for her and had called her from Hong Kong. She knew how much Kyra loved Kabir and believed that Kabir, too, couldn’t turn a blind eye to Kyra’s charms despite dating other women.
Kyra paused her thinking. She was in Kabir’s bed and turned her head to the left, only to find it empty. A smile touched her lips as she found hot coffee, a doughnut and a note on the side table. Under all that gruff sexiness, he was really very sweet. Kyra was glad nobody got to see this side of him except her.
