This part is a bit shorter, but I hope you still like it :).

Here you go:

_______________________________________________

They move to the couch that was inside the studio still in each other's arms. They sit together in silence, taking comfort in each other's presence.

"I- I can understand if you don't want to be with me anymore.", she mumbles suddenly. "What?", he asks her shell shocked, "why do you think that?", he asks disbelief spreading through his body. "Zain, you have seen the scar, it's not the only one, and I understand if- ", she stops immediately, when he pulled away from her.

He looks at her in anger, eyes narrowing together. And before she could even progress what was happening or say anything, he manhandled her so that she was sitting astride on him, legs on either side of him, sitting on his lap. She had closed her eyes tightly because of the sudden jolt. She had put her hands on his shoulder for support, holding on tight. When she slowly opened her eyes, her heart jumped for a second.

"How can you even think that, Pia? Do you really think I care about how your skin looks?", he asked, hurt and almost defeated.

"No, it's not about that...", she started arguing shaking her head as tears brimmed in her eyes. "Then what?", he asks, both his hands cupping her face and wiping away her tears. "I know, you feel very confident about the way you look, and I- I don't want you to- I don't want you to have to deal with my insecurities, you deserve someone beautiful", she admits, avoiding meeting his eyes.

"Do you have any idea how hard it is to control myself to not have my way with you every time you're this close to me?" his grip on her hips strong and steady, making her gasp at the way he was grabbing her. Her eyes grow big at this bold statement, cheeks getting even more red as she tries to comprehend the meaning of his words. "Y-you, what?", she starts stuttering, her heart starting to take on a fast pace.

He moves closer to her, "if you only knew the things I want to do to you", he whispers closely against her ear, making her gulp in disbelief. Her breath stuttered as he slowly dragged the side his face across her skin to her neck, the graze of his stubble causing her to get goose bumps all over her body and her grip on his shoulders tightening momentarily.

Before she could even think of what he was about to do, he was pressing his lips against the skin where the scar right below her collarbone was. She gasps, bits her lip and out of reflex she tries to move away from him.

His hold on her however, didn't allow her to do so. He continues following the scar, trailing wet kisses along it as if he was trying to cover it – trying to overwrite it. Overwhelmed with emotions, her breathing becomes heavier as he moved lower and lower.

Only as his fingers were dancing around the strap of her bra, about to get it out of his way to have more access, she realises the range of the situation they were in.

She puts her trembling hand on top of his and stops him from going any further. Zain, however was not ready to stop his doing – no – he drags his lips upwards, to her collarbone, mouthing along it and going further up to her neck lingering his lips on the spot he left a mark a few days back, leaving her gasping for air again. Finally, when he pulls away and looks into her eyes, she almost squirmed under his intense gaze.

"I really-, really want to kiss you right now", he states, voice so deep and husky, sending chills down her spine. Her hand subconsciously goes to his neck, still out of breath and her skin tingling from his ministrations. His eyes are dark with desire, but she also sees something else that made her heart feel at ease. Devotion. And he was waiting for her concession.

With a small nod from her side, he was about to close the distance between them, as a jarring, high sound goes off. They jump away from each other in that instant, looking at the door, shock written all over their faces. Only then, they realize that they were still in the studio, the door not fully closed. Hurrying, they manage to get themselves look half decent and went out of the building - both of them in their own thoughts about what just happened...

They don't speak to each other till they stood in front of her apartment door. She fumbles around in her bag to get her key, and when she finds it, she stops herself, as she felt his eyes on her, observing her every single movement. Feeling conscious about it, she stops herself from unlocking the door and at this moment the floor seemed to be very interesting.

Suddenly, he grabs her hand and tugs her towards him so that she crashes into his chest. Soon after she feels his lips against her cheek, her body heating up at his action.

"I have to go now, but don't think I am done with you yet.", he whispers and leaves her in the hallway – heart throbbing in her chest.

Precap:

"We're engaged", Zain says blushing slightly but didn't expect Gul's reaction. "Finally", she says smiling softly. "How-", he starts to ask her, but she cuts him off.
