“Hey, baby. Is everything okay?” he asked her, worry lining his face.
“You tell me. You left without a word.” Raashi brushed the wrinkle marring his forehead with her fingers.
“I had some things to take care of, sweetheart.”
Raashi frowned as she looked into his face, “Is that all you are going to give me?”
Sameer didn’t reply.
“Come on, Sameer. I know you’re worried for me. Both the accidents cannot be a coincidence and I suspect you have figured out what’s going on. So stop hiding things from me. Tell me, I want to know, please.”
He let out a huge sigh and then told her everything. About Jiten Arya’s threat, his possible involvement and his phone call to Natasha. Raashi listened to him, stunned.
“When did you figure this out?” she asked when he had finished.
“Last night during dinner with my parents.”
“No wonder you were so quiet during the dinner.” She jabbed his chest with her finger. “Don’t hide things from me ever again, you get that?”
A guilty look flashed on his face.
“Is that right?” he asked her, cocking his head to the side and smiling naughtily.
Raashi narrowed her eyes. “What else have you done?”
Sameer drew her closer and kissed the side of her neck, inhaling her soft scent. She always took his breath away and he couldn’t live without her. Dressed in a loose white crop top overblue jeans, she looked gorgeous. His hands skimmed the skin at her waist and his lips trailed a path down her neck.
Her breathing hitched and Raashi said, “You cannot keep me distracted forever, you know.”
Sameer laughed, his lips against her skin. His rich laughter vibrated around her filling her with happiness.
“I can try, at least,” he said.
She lifted his head back and stared at him. “Tell me, now!”
“Promise you won’t get upset?”
She raised her brows.
“I hired two bodyguards to watch over you,” he said casually.
“What? Who? Where? I didn’t see anyone.”
“Good. That means they’re doing the job I am paying them for,” he remarked coolly.
Raashi punched his shoulder lightly in response. “I cannot believe you did that.”
Sameer’s expression became serious. “I cannot take this situation lightly and you would have never agreed to stay at home. So this is the only way I can breathe easy, knowing that you are safe.”
“Ugh! This is so annoying. I hate it,” she complained.
Sameer lifted her chin and kissed her mouth. She closed the distance between them and gave into the kiss.
Sameer heard a throat being cleared. He lifted his head to see Kabier and Rishi staring at them, arms folded. Raashi saw them and jumped off his lap.
“Don’t you guys know how to knock?” Sameer asked, annoyed at their interruption.
“Well, we did. You were too busy to pay attention,” Rishi replied.
