Arranged to love

#21: Baby, don't tease me.

Chapter Twenty-One: "Baby, don't tease me."

Meera soundlessly made her way towards Ajay's room, a cup of green tea in her hand. Ramya and Arvind had gone out at eight in the morning for a date.

Ramya had been cooped up in the house for quite sometime and Arvind wanted to bring her out. Meera and Nithya had helped him to plan an entire day out for the couple.

Nithya and Sweta were out on a spa date. They invited Meera but with the amount of makeovers she had in the month, she refused.

Arjun had gone out for a sudden meeting that his father had called him for. Varun was in the garden, painting while Akash was with Vijay in the pool.

Meera knocked on Ajay's door but hearing no response she twisted the door knob to find it unlocked.

She walked in but at the same time, Ajay had come out of the bathroom shirtless as he only wore a pair of sweats.

His dark brown hair appeared black as the water darkened it. Water dripped down the ends of his hair onto his taut chest.

Her eyes flicked down to his well-built body just enough to capture the sight of his toned abs before she came out of her reverie and turned the other way. She knew Ajay caught her staring at him and he would never let it go.

She clenched her eyes shut in embarrassment as she suddenly felt his presence behind her. His body was pressed against her, turning Meera's sky blue shirt turn a shade darker as the moisture on his front transferred to the fabric.

Ajay turned her around by her shoulder as he stared at her. He grabbed the mug from her hands and placed it down on the dresser before attaching the same arm to her waist. Meera felt her heart skip a beat as his face lingered so close to hers.

"I love the effect I have on you," he murmured as he saw her immediately blush harder, looking down. His unoccupied hand tilted her chin such that her eyes met his.

"Don't worry you're not the only one" his husky voice filling the silent room as his hand shifted from her chin to her wrist, gently placing her hand on his chest, directly over his heart.

Meera felt him suck in a breath as soon as her hand made contact with his skin.

"You feel this?" Meera nodded, her throat suddenly dry.

"This beats for you Meera, only you" his voice came out rough as he referred to his racing heart beat.

A sense of satisfaction washed over Meera as she knew that she affected him the same way he did to her.

"God Meera, you drive me crazy" he whispered under his breath as he saw Meera biting her bottom lip subconsciously.

"Don't ever do that in front of me, I won't be able to control myself" he breathed, gently pulling her lip out from in between her teeth with his thumb.

Meera's legs weakened as his voice became raspy as she traced little circles on his chest.

"Baby, don't tease me. You know what you're doing to me"

"Do I? Do I really?" she said, faking innocence as she batted her eyelashes. But this time her entire palm was resting flat against the smooth skin of his chest.

The moment she did that, she knew she pushed the button too hard.

Ajay pushed her against the wall as his lips crashed onto hers. This wasn't like the first kiss. This wasn't sweet. It was rough, raw with desire.

Meera's arms gripped onto his shoulders as he lifted her up against the flat wall by her waist, her legs wrapped around him as she responded to him.

Her hand tugged at his hair as he groaned, liking the feel of her fingers in his brown locks. Meera gasped for oxygen as her lips broke apart from his but he wasn't done yet.

He kissed down her neck, making her let out a sigh as she grew weak, feeling him suck on her weak spot.

"Ajay,"

Ajay's lips attached onto hers as soon as he heard his name in her raspy voice. His tongue traced her bottom lip and she opened her mouth, granting him permission.

Their tongues fought a battle of dominance as they explored every crook of their partner's mouth.

"Ajay?" a voice called out, making them instantly break apart.

Ajay placed her down to open the door but was distracted by her as soon as his eyes took her in. Hair was tousled, lips swollen and eyes alert. She looked ethereal.

His eyes zeroed in on the purplish-red patch on her neck. The love bite he had given her marked her in the most beautiful way possible.

"I like that," he commented, his possessiveness shining rather brightly.

She looked confused for a second and glanced at her reflection in the mirror.

The dark hickey was hard to miss as her eyes widened and her blush deepened.

Before any of them could say anything, Varun's voice sounded again.

"Ajay you in there?"

Meera and Ajay panicked. They certainly did not want to be caught by her brother. Ajay tugged at her arm as he gently pushed her into the walk-in closet.

"I'll take care of it," he said, pecking her lips before walking to the entrance of his room to open the door.

Meera watched through the gap as Ajay ran his hand over his hair which she had messed up. His lips had also bulged slightly after their intense make out session.

"Come in bhai,"

"Oh sorry, did you just come out of the shower?" Varun asked, looking at his shirtless state and slightly damp hair.

"Yea that's why it took so long" Ajay replied, towel drying his hair.

"Do you want me to get you a shirt?"

"Sure thanks bhai" Ajay replied nonchalantly before he realised what he said. Meera was in there.

"WAIT"

Varun stopped in his tracks as he was walking towards the walk-in closet.

"What dude?" Varun asked as Ajay blocked his path.

"I.. I can get it..." Ajay said, passing a nervous smile.

"Why? Are you hiding something?" Varun asked, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. His suspicion was confirmed when Ajay struggled to answer.

"Wait don't tell me, are you hiding a girl in there? Ajay I swear to god, if you do this to my sister, I'll break you in half. Yo-"

Ajay's eyes widened at his conclusion. Meera was trying her best to stifle her laughter as she heard her brother.

"What? Of course not! Bhai, I would never do that to her. I told you, she's my world. My everything" he said, honesty shining in his eyes.

Meera's heart softened as she heard his words. The way he talked about her was as if she was some treasure that he was determined to protect. He made her feel wanted, he made her feel special.

"Okay that's good, I believe you, but why won't you let me in"

"It's just, it's very messy... yea and I am very particular about clothes, you know so I'll select it" Ajay said.

Varun was going to question even further but the ending part was convincing. Ajay's outfits were always up to point, just like himself. He was picky over clothes as well so he let it slide.

"Right right, anyway I came to ask if you saw my sister," Varun asked.

"Um no bhai," Ajay lied through his teeth.

"Alright, if you see her, tell her I'll be in the garden. Oh and drink your tea, she made it for you" Varun said, glancing at the walk-in closet with a smirk before making his way to the garden, closing the door behind him, leaving a shocked Ajay and a horrified Meera.

He knows!
