His phone rang, breaking the spell between us. I pulled away from his embrace, still sitting in his lap, and watched as Kabir glanced from me to his phone.

"Can I take it, please?" he asked softly.

I nodded, tucking my hair behind the ear.

"Hello, Aditya. What file have you sent? It has so many errors," he said, his voice firm and serious as he started scolding. But even as he spoke, his hand continued to gently caress my back, making me feel the affection in that moment as if assuring me that I matter to him.

I couldn't help but trace my fingers along his ear, studying his face so closely. I felt a warmth spreading through me as I stroked his cheek with my thumb.

It's all wrong! Is this really what we're going to present at the meeting? There's so much error!" He continued, and I could sense the tension in his voice, like he was holding back a shout-probably because I was here. I love this side of him. He could manage his reactions so well if he wants to even when he is angry.

I watched him press his forehead in frustration, detailing the mistakes in the file. Memories flooded back-everything that happened after my miscarriage and how hard I had been on him. Guilt washed over me as I recalled those moments. I couldn't believe that this man, so particular and often angry, had been so patient with me all this time. He is the same man who once warned me never to raise my voice at him, yet he had endured so many insults from me.

He didn't seem affected when I made him lose that deal, but when the ring got tossed on the floor, I saw a flash of hurt in his eyes-something he didn't voice out but I felt . Probably it was the first time he has brought a gift for someone in a long time. No matter how much I insisted I didn't want him around, there was a comforting presence in his nearness that I tried so hard to ignore. But it is the truth, and I couldn't escape it.

"Sometimes I want to break his head, but other times he looks so edible," I thought gazing his perfect features from my fingers a smile creeping onto my lips .

Kabir was completely absorbed in the call, unaware of my thoughts. I blinked softly, feeling a surge of affection. Slowly, I leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss on his cheek. He turned toward me in surprise, and I couldn't help but bury my face in the crook of his neck, kissing him softly. I could feel his breathing quicken at my touch.

I looked up, our eyes met. He was still on the call, and his expression held a hint of surprise, as if silently asking what I was up to. A teasing thought crossed my mind. I held his cheeks with one hand and the nape of his neck with the other, drawing him closer. I buried my head into his neck again, sucking on his Adam's apple while encasing it with my tongue. His eyelids closed with pleasure. He released a deep breath.

Sir can you please tell me if the whole document is wrong ??? Aditya said from the other side

With a low, breathy voice that sounded almost like a sigh, he muttered, "Perfect," as the kiss penetrated deeper into his skin.

I'm sorry, sir, I didn't understand ... what's perfect about it?

"Aditya, I'll call you back!" He abruptly ended the call and tossed his phone onto the table.

He tried to pull me into a tight hug, but I shifted slightly away, still perched in his lap.

"Do it!" he urged impatiently.

"What?" I asked, with doe eyes all innocent.

"What you were just doing a moment ago," he replied, with bit impatience in his voice.

I stretched my arms and yawned. "I'm feeling so sleepy."i said in the sleepiest voice possible.

"Erica?" Kabir looked at me with those adorable puppy eyes as if I going to break his heart.

"I'm really tired," I said, sliding off his lap in a sleepy, dazed voice. "Good night," I added, waving as I left.

He watched me leaving like a kid whose favorite candy had just been taken away.

As I ran to my room, slamming the door behind me, a blush spread across my cheeks as I remembered what had just happened. A smile spread across my face as I remembered the look on his face when I said I am going to sleep.It has been a long time since I felt this happy.

The next when Erica woke up Kabir was already went to office so she didn't get see him....

Erica got up ...dressed nicely...she went to meet her parents as they were really worried for her.....so that they can feel relax now as she doesn't want them to be bothered any more!!!!

When Kabir came back from his office . The soft murmur of conversation drew his attention to the dining area, where he spotted Erica chatting with Tai. A genuine smile lit up her face-a rare sight he had missed dearly. Relief washed over him seeing her smiling.

"Hey, you came early!" Erica exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as they met his.

"Hmmm... I got free," Kabir replied, his gaze lingering on her, captivated by the moment.

"You want something?" she asked, tilting her head slightly, curiosity dancing in her expression.

He shook his head, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips as he turned to leave. But as he passed her, an impulse surged within him. He paused, leaning down to cup her cheeks in his palms. Gently, he squeezed it with his thumb and index finger, playfully forming a pout on her lips.

A grin broke out on his face .
