The air in my cabin felt different today, heavier somehow, as if the very walls were holding their breath, waiting for what would unfold. I leaned back in my chair, my eyes fixed on the door, anticipation coiled tight in my chest.

The past two days had been a blur—an intoxicating haze of stolen moments and fevered thoughts of her. Every hour felt like an eternity, every second I was away from her, a punishment. I never knew I could crave someone like this, but Mahira had become my addiction, my sweetest sin.

My fingers drummed impatiently on the desk, the faint ticking of the clock echoing in the silence. I had arranged for us to meet here under the guise of work, but we both knew better. It wasn't the spreadsheets or reports that drew us together; it was the magnetic pull between us, growing stronger with each passing day.

Finally, the soft click of the door opening broke through the silence. My breath hitched as she walked in, her presence filling the room like a slow-burning fire. She looked stunning, as always—confident, composed, but with a hint of something in her eyes that made my pulse quicken. Desire, maybe. Or was it the same longing that had consumed me since that night?

She closed the door behind her, and for a moment, neither of us spoke. The tension between us was palpable, the kind that could spark a flame with just a word, a touch.

"Arjun," she said softly, breaking the silence, her voice laced with that irresistible blend of authority and vulnerability that drove me crazy. She took a step closer, and I could feel the heat radiating from her, drawing me in like a moth to a flame.

"Mahira," I responded, my voice betraying nothing of the turmoil within me. I stood up, slowly, deliberately, my gaze never leaving hers. "I’ve been waiting."

"For what?" she asked, her lips curving into a knowing smile, though her eyes betrayed a flicker of uncertainty.

"For you," I replied, my voice low and thick with meaning. "For us."

She took another step closer, and I could see the conflict in her eyes. The careful distance she always kept between us was crumbling, piece by piece. And it was in this moment that I knew—whatever happened next, there was no turning back.

I walked around the desk, closing the space between us. The air grew heavier with each passing second, the tension between us tightening like a noose.

“Arjun…” she whispered, her voice trailing off as her eyes locked onto mine. There was something in that whisper, a question, perhaps, or a plea. I couldn't tell. All I knew was that I was losing the battle to keep my hands off her.

I took a deep breath, steadying myself as I reached out, my fingers brushing against hers—soft, delicate, and warm. A jolt of electricity shot through me, my resolve cracking under the weight of my need for her.

“I wanted to see you,” I admitted, my voice husky, raw. “I needed to.”

She didn’t pull away, and that was all the permission I needed. Slowly, I moved closer, my fingers sliding up her arm, feeling the smooth fabric of her sleeve, the warmth of her skin beneath it.

"Arjun..." she began, her voice faltering, her breath quickening as my hand reached her shoulder, lingering there for just a moment before tracing a path to the nape of her neck.

I stepped closer to her, my hand gently wrapping around the back of her neck, my fingers tangling in her hair. "Shh," I whispered, my voice low and soothing. "It's just you and me now."

"Yes." She whispered, my other hand slowly lifted the hem of her blouse, my fingertips brushing against her warm skin, feeling goosebumps rise beneath my touch. "Arms up," I murmured, my voice laced with authority.
