Rishi's pov
    
One day, I was working in the office when I saw a man enter Radhika's cabin. I couldn't help but notice the way he looked at her, with a gaze that made my skin crawl. As I watched, he started to misbehave with her, making inappropriate comments and gestures.

My blood boiled with anger as I saw Radhika trying to brush him off, but he wouldn't take no for an answer. That's when I stepped in, my heart racing with adrenaline.

"Leave her alone," I growled, my voice low and menacing.

The man turned to me, a sneer on his face. "Mind your own business," he snarled.

But I wasn't having it. I took a step closer to him, my eyes locked on his. "You're making a big mistake," I warned him.

The man laughed, but I could see the fear in his eyes. He knew he was outmatched.

With a swift movement, I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him out of Radhika's office. "You're not welcome here," I said, my voice cold and detached.

As I looked into his eyes, I saw a flicker of recognition. He knew who I was, and he knew he was in trouble.

I leaned in close, my voice dropping to a whisper. "You'll never bother her again," I promised.

And with that, I let him go, watching as he scurried away like the coward he was.

Radhika came out of her office, looking shaken but grateful. "Thank you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

I nodded, my heart still racing with adrenaline. "You're safe now," I said, my voice firm and reassuring.

As we walked back to our desks, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and possessiveness. I had protected Radhika, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

But as I looked at her, I saw something in her eyes that gave me pause. A spark of attraction, a hint of curiosity.

And I knew that I had to be careful. I couldn't let my feelings get the better of me. Not now, not ever.

But as I looked away, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was in trouble. Big trouble.

...

It was a late night at the office, the only sound being the soft hum of the computers and the occasional rustle of papers. Radhika and I were the only ones left, both of us engrossed in our own work.

As I typed away on my keyboard, I couldn't help but steal glances at Radhika, who was sitting across from me. She was focused on her screen, her brow furrowed in concentration.
...

I leaned in, my lips inches from Radhika's. I could feel her warm breath on my skin, and my heart raced with anticipation. I was eager to kiss her, to taste her lips and feel her close to me.

As I pressed my lips to hers, Radhika's eyes fluttered closed. She breathed out softly, and I felt her relax into the kiss. But then, suddenly, she tensed up and pushed me away.

"Rishi, stop," she protested, her voice barely above a whisper.

I didn't back off, though. I kept my lips close to hers, my eyes locked on hers. "Just one more kiss," I whispered, my voice husky with desire.

Radhika's eyes flashed with annoyance, but I could see the desire lurking beneath. She wanted me, too, even if she didn't want to admit it.

I leaned in again, my lips brushing against hers. Radhika's mouth opened slightly, and I took advantage of the opportunity, deepening the kiss.

She protested again, her hands pushing against my chest, but I didn't budge. I kept kissing her, my lips moving against hers in a gentle, persuasive rhythm.

Slowly, Radhika's resistance melted away. She started to kiss me back, her lips responding to mine with a passion that left me breathless.

As we kissed, I felt like I was drowning in her loveliness. I couldn't get enough of her, couldn't get close enough.

Finally, we broke apart, gasping for air. Radhika's eyes sparkled with anger, but I could see the desire still lurking beneath.

"Why did you do that?" she asked, her voice husky with emotion.

I smiled, my eyes locked on hers. "Because I couldn't help myself," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. "I need you, Radhika. I need to kiss you, to touch you, to be close to you."

Radhika's expression softened, and she looked away, her cheeks flushing with color. I knew I had won, knew that she felt the same way. And as I pulled her back into my arms, I knew that nothing could ever come between us again.

After the passionate kiss, Radhika couldn't meet my eyes. She quickly gathered her things and left the office, leaving me standing there, feeling bewildered. I watched her go, wondering what had just happened. I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself, and began to pack up my things. As I adjusted my attire, I couldn't shake off the feeling that our kiss had changed everything. I felt a sense of longing, hoping that Radhika would come back to me. I left the office, my heart heavy with emotion, unsure of what the future held.
