BTL - Chapter 1



"What do you mean you are leaving for Coorg?" Manav asked worriedly as he saw his friend make some phone calls while sipping lazily on his freshly brewed coffee...he went and sat on the couch opposite him waiting till he finished his calls and looked up

"Manav, it means exactly what I said...I'm leaving for Coorg tomorrow...and I'll be back in 3 months tops!" Arnav said taking another long sip of his coffee...he looked on with an amused expression as his friend stared at him with his mouth open "You are serious aren't you?" he asked Arnav who nodded his head

"Ok..listen...let me explain why i'm going there" Arnav said calmly leaning forward with his hands resting on the coffee table in front of him, while Manav narrowed his eyes at him "Gee, thanks...I usually read your mind, but today it seems to be having a blockage!" he said as Arnav smiled

"Alright Mr Sarcasm...listen up...I'm having writers block..." he said with a straight face as Manav kept looking at him "Aaand? Please don't tell me that this is your reason!" Manav said as Arnav shook his head "No Listen, my new book...'The Twisted Pendulum' is just not moving forward...I've put too much effort into it for me to just scrap it or change the plot...plus I have deadlines!" he said as he got up and walked towards the large balcony overlooking the beautiful arabian sea

"Hold on Arnav..you've had these blocks before...its no big deal...you've come out of it...what is the meaning of this..." he started saying as Arnav looked back at him, leaning against the balcony railing "I am also wondering the same thing Manav...its never taken me this long...two months...I can't seem to move forward with my plot at all...everything seems so messed up!" he said as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath

"I think its best I leave this godforsaken city and look for some peace and quite...this house in coorg that i'm renting is really good...its secluded and has all the modern amenities...it will give me the quietude i need to finish this novel" he said as Manav watched him quietly

"I guess you've already taken care of everything huh?" he asked as arnav opened one eye and looked at him with a lazy smile "Arre...but what about your job? Your boss won't agree to this...and what reason will you give them? No one knows you are Crispin bloody pike!...not even your family" he said getting agitated again...sometimes he really did not know how to get across to his bull headed best friend.

"Its taken care of Manav; I've never taken a personal leave from the past 6 years that I have been working...so I told my boss that I wanted to take an extended vacation and travel around Europe...he was reluctant at first...but he knows that he can't lose me...plus he's very happy with my last three exclusive deals...so he agreed...his only request being that I keep up with my mails" arnav said as Manav reached inside his pocket and pulled out his cigarette box

"Boy, do I need a smoke or what!...want one?" he offered arnav who gladly took one...both of them lit their cigarettes before facing the cool breeze coming from the balcony"So...where in Coorg is this place?" Manav asked him as he drew in a deep drag

"Its just a bit away from the main city...up in the hills...my publisher recommended it...apparently some other writers have also gone there...they found it helpful" he said as he exhaled out the calming smoke

"Hmm...and what about your daily stuff? Like food and other things?" Manav asked Arnav who seemed to thinking about something "Uh...yeah, there's an old caretaker and his wife...they will be helping with the cleaning and food arrangements...I really don't need to bother with anything...its a full package!" Arnav said as he crushed his cigarette on the ashtray

He walked inside the living room as Manav finished his cigarette and followed him in "So...I don't think I can persuade you amigo...you seem to have made up your mind and your plans..." he said with a small hurt face which made arnav chuckle

"God! Why are you behaving like a typical wife!" Arnav said only to have Manav scowl at him "Arnav! I'm not behaving like a bloody wife...I'm only concerned for my so called best friend...who is suddenly taking off leaving everything behind and is informing me, Manav Bhatnagar a day before he flies off to God only knows where!" he said in a sulky tone only to have Arnav laugh loudly

"You are such a drama queen man! Manav...don't worry so much...I'm a big boy! I'll be fine...and these 3 months will be over before we know...plus i'll be back in the stands with probably the best mystery novel I have ever written!" he said as Manav gave him a sheepish smile

"Yeah...can you like give me 10% of your earnings this time round?...looking at what you made last time, I think my life will be set if you feel this will be your best novel so far!" he said as both burst out laughing.

"Oh and I know you are a big boy...a very big boy! Your'e getting old now Arnav...6 more years and you'll be hitting 40!...promise me, you you'll let me and Parul set you up with someone nice when you are back! That woman has been on my case since the time I suggested pairing you up with one of her cousins!" he said with a shudder

"Hey! Don't say anything about Parul...you are one lucky bas***d to have her in your life...and now you have to double up your'e love since she is pregnant!" arnav said bringing a fond smile on his friend's face who nodded his head.

The rest of the evening went by with Manav helping Arnav with his packing and putting the house in order...Arnav handed over the keys of his large 4 bedroom apartment to Manav who promised that he will get Arnav's maid to clean it twice a week.

The night ended on good lucks and good nights as both the friends parted to once again meet 3 months later...but little did they know that life as Mr Arnav Singh Raizada urf Crispin Pikeknew...will be changed...forever!

Between the Lines... [New SS]


Hey Guys!!

So I am starting a new SS by the name of 'Between the Lines', Its a cute, light-hearted romance...a little bit sweet, a little bit spicy, thoda sa namkeen...set in beautiful Coorg, one of my fav destination! 

I had already put up the Intro in India Forums, but thought I'll start posting it here too...I will be starting this story soon!!

For now, enjoy the Prologue and let me know what you think!


Intro





Sometimes life treats you like shit!...

You know like, when you wanted to be the apple of your parents eye, but your younger sibling got all the pampering...while you were served a cold scolding...

Or like when you were vying for that new girl's attention in school and were rewarded with her beautiful shy smile, only for her to ask you to set her up with your best friend...

Or when you were over the moon for topping your university and would have finally gotten to be that centre of attention..but unfortunately an earthquake hit your town..making your news...uh...inconsequential.

But then...sometimes life throws an unexpected twist into your well planned path...something that deviates you from your everyday mundane life... something which crops up when you least expect it...yes, that's what happened here...and this brings us to our guy...Arnav

Yep, the lines above, pretty much sum up his life...at least till his early twenty's...his life really was seriously crappy...always competing with his younger brother...never lucky in love and always overlooked for far less significant things...apparently

But then, things changed...to his friends and acquaintances and the little bit of family he had, he was and will always be the same old boring Arnav...but to the world...yes to the entire damn world, he was known by another name...'Crispin Pike'...yes, you will laugh...not even remotely Indian right?!...pfft...Who cares when Crispin Pike is a bloody well known Novelist...having published 7 books on fiction, all of which were best-sellers worldwide...and what really intrigued everyone was that he never came out in Public, no one had ever seen him...Just like the genre he wrote...he was a 'Mystery'....and he would always prefer it that way...

Confused right? Read more...

Arnav had years ago discovered his passion...writing murder mysteries; he could get so immersed into the character that one would think the novel was written on personal experience...Although he was an engineer and had followed up with an MBA from one of the top most Universities owing to the pressures from his family...he was never into it...he was never meant for a 9 to 5 job...Nope...he was meant for far bigger and better things...

So, by day, he worked in Banic Enterprises, a banking and hedge fund corporation...his job was pretty easy, convince rich suckers to invest with them...and get paid shit loads for it! But where was the fun in it? So he finally gave in to his passion and started writing...if he could not follow up on his dreams openly, then he would do it behind closed doors...where it was just him and his desire to write...

He knew he could never write as himself, otherwise his parents would have a heart attack if they ever came to know...what with being from a very rich and influential family; he would be ostracized for being a writer...a profession looked down by the society he unfortunately lived in....'writers are penniless hobo's' that's what his father always said...

And So...Crispin Pike came into being...his very first novel got published under this name and his publisher was more than happy to help him out with his secret identity, he knew the mystery around his latest find would only play to their benefit...and it did...and how!

So guys, here starts the story of Arnav...AKA, Crispin Pike...i'm sure most of you are bored with the huge intro...so without further adieu...Oh wait...I never told you about that 'Twist' that life threw at him!!! The one named...'Khushi'?...But there's time for that...all good things comes to those who wait...and Arnav Singh Raizada had waited for a long long time...sigh!

OS: The 'Body'Guard...




Mature Content - 18+ Only


“Please please please koo!!! you gotta help me out...NK is coming all the way to see me here and I can't take the risk! Especially after daddy's strict warning to keep him away from me!” Lavanya pleaded, hopping around the room as her best friend tried to ignore her.

“La! For the last time...that man is stuck to you like glue! How can i distract him!?? and anyways this trip to Goa was for you to get over your break-up with NK...how is his coming here going to help?!” Khushi said in an exasperated tone as Lavanya pouted

“You know naa why we broke up...daddy just can't seem to understand how genuine NK is! I can't let him go Koo..I love him too much! Besides its been soo long that we have been together and even here I have that hawk's eye on me...thank god he doesn't insist on coming inside the ladies room!” La said as she shuddered

'I wouldn't mind him coming with me to the ladies room' Khushi thought as her face lit up with a silly grin “Koo! What are you dreaming about?? help me na!! pleeeeaseeee!!!!” Lavanya said with her hands folded in front of her, “Ok fine....I'll distract him till NK gets safely inside your room, ok! But that's it!” Khushi said as Lavanya leapt up and hugged her

Now all Khushi had to do was work out a way to distract him...that Laad governor of a Bodyguard who was constantly stuck to her best friend...if only La wasn't the daughter of Mr Guru Kashyap, the multi-billionaire media mogul...but she was...and she had to be protected...by a bodyguard...but did he have to be soo damn hot!

She remembered the first time she had laid eyes on him....before that she was in a serious relationship with a man she thought was the perfect boyfriend, they were literally engaged! But then she had found out about his addiction to gambling and other not so pleasant vices...and her whole world had come crashing down

Lavanya was the one who had helped her come out of her heartbreak...but then, thinking about it now, it hardly was one; Khushi's mind had conjured up an image of a perfect man...one who looked, spoke and behaved like her fiance...and she had not wanted to see anything beyond that.

But she was at fault for not trusting her heart when she knew something was wrong with him, so she had decided to not think about happily ever afters and just go with the flow...no man was perfect and the ideology of finding the perfect man was preposterous...why should she waste time waiting for her prince charming to come bounding up her steps...she wanted to enjoy her life...on her terms...so she did.

But after a string of un-meaningful relationships she had become tired if it all...partying all night, drinking...everything seemed to get mundane after a while...she wanted to look pretty to impress someone while she got ready, she wanted to cook something special for someone to appreciate it...she wanted to watch movies and laze around on sunday's with someone she cared.

So she had given up her wild ways and had settled down in a boring routine life...Lavanya's dad had offered her a job in marketing in his company and even though she did not want any favors, her best friend's pleading eyes had made her take it...and she was glad she did. Lavanya and she had become inseparable after that...and then one day; everything changed.

Mr Kashyap started getting threat calls; it was pretty common in India where businessmen were always under threat from the underworld, but Mr Kashyap had a beautiful young daughter...he had to be more careful...so it was decided that Lavanya will have a bodyguard...and that too one of the best on the job...highly recommended by the commissioner himself...Mr Arnav Singh Raizada

And that was when she first saw him; Lavanya had told her about how hot he was but she said he hardly spoke and never directly looked at her...a stiff board, that's what she had called him...so Khushi wasn't surprised when she saw the man in question walk stiffly behind her friend as she came to office one day.

Khushi had felt herself swallow as she took in the perfect male specimen in front of her...tall, dark haired, high cheekbones with a strong jaw sprinkled with a light stubble...his eyes were covered with dark aviators making it impossible to see them but his defined muscled body was well on display, even if it was covered in a white shirt and dark pants, the gun in a holster across his hip giving him a dangerous look.

That was the day Khushi Gupta had fallen head over heels in lust with the man...the only one who tortured her days and nights; she could not think of anything else but tearing those clothes off him and taking his unyielding mouth into hers...her palms got clammy every time she saw him...and even though they had hardly ever conversed except monosyllabic words, his voice sent a thrill down her spine every time they did.

He went everywhere with La, work, dinners, clubs...he was her shadow and he took his job very seriously....and what increased Khushi's respect for him was that he never seemed to pay any attention to the obvious female appreciation he got from all of La's friend...including her...he seemed to have been trained to only respond to any threat to his ward...otherwise he was a robot; keeping to himself and only responding when spoken to.

It had been 6 months today from that first meeting...and here they were, in Goa since La wanted to rethink her relationship with NK....Nand Kishore Rathi, La's boyfriend from over a year...who Mr Kashyap abhorred, simply because according to him he was only interested in La's money...so when La had told NK about this, he was hurt...he felt La did not defend him and to make things easier for her, the moron had broken up with her.

La had been distraught...she was stuck between her father and her boyfriend...both of whom she loved a lot...they had decided to take this weekend break in Goa for her to think this through...and Khushi wasn't surprised that NK was coming here...but the catch was, Arnav was strictly told to keep NK away from La by Mr Kashyap...so La's plan to meet NK and sort things out seemed to have gone out the window.

“What will you do Koo? Tell me naa!!” La's voice from the bathroom brought Khushi out of her thoughts, she quickly closed her book and turned towards La's closed bedroom door...she knew he was sitting outside in the suite's living area, waiting for them to come out...what would she do?

How could she distract him...she chewed her lips when her eyes fell on La's red string bikini...her eyes went wide at the direction her thoughts were leading her....but she had suddenly decided what she had to do....and she'll be damned if this act of her's does not distract him!


............................................


“Come on koo! Please join me in the pool” La shouted loudly as she splashed in the resort pool, with most of the male population looking at her....she looked over at Khushi who was sitting by the pool with a book in her hands...she grinned as Khushi shut her book and nodded, taking a quick look at Arnav who sat at one of the tables, his eyes wandering around the pool to no one in particular.

“I'm coming La! Give me a min” Khushi said as she saw arnav look in her direction...she quickly pulled off the long oversized knee-length t-shirt she was wearing and threw it on the lounger...she knew a lot of eyes had turned towards her at her obvious display...the red bikini being a size smaller for her since it was La's made her breasts nearly spill out of it while the bottoms hugged her curves snugly...her perfectly toned midriff and long legs made her every man's wet dream.

She stole a look at Arnav who seemed to have his gaze glued on to her...finally! She thought as she sauntered towards the pool, her hips swinging with every step...when she finally reached the pool's edge, she swayed for a second before pretending to faint...but luckily she was caught by a pair of strong arms that seemed to have materialized out of nowhere.

It was him...her excited heartbeat started running a minute a mile as she kept her pretense up...she could hear La and Arnav's conversation as they spoke “Arnav...please take her to her room...i'll get the resort doctor and come at once” La said in a hysterical voice...'Too much drama mrs!' khushi thought as arnav spoke “You should come with me La, we can call the doctor from her room” he said as khushi's excitement dropped...he did not want to be alone with her, even when she was unconscious! Great!

“No..I think its best you take her to her room...its too hot here., her state might worsen....i'll go directly and get the doctor...don't worry i'll be fine on my own for a minute....but khushi needs immediate help” Lavanya said in a mock-panicked voice as Arnav again seemed to argue but gave up thinking they were wasting precious time...he picked her more comfortably in his arms and started walking towards her suite, after taking her key with him.

Khushi leaned more into his warmth as she felt her skin tingle where his hands touched her, her nearly naked body was covered by tiny goosebumps as she inhaled his masculine scent...the feel of his strong arms creating havoc in her tummy...she pretended to still be unconscious as he shifted her a little bit in his arms to open her door.He walked inside her suite and placed her delicately on the cool bed.

'Thats it' khushi thought...La has had enough time to sneak in NK by now...he's going to call her any second to come with the doctor...and then, she will play her second act...slowing getting back to consciousness...she waited patiently as she heard him shuffle around.

She heard a sound of something being kept on the bedside table and then she felt her bed dip a little bit besides her...he had sat down! Next to her...What? Why? and why wasn't he calling La? Did he text her instead?

Khushi's dilemma went on a few more seconds before she nearly gasped in shock as she felt his rough fingers caress her cheek...she sucked in her breath as he tucked in few strands of her hair that had come over her face behind her ear...he then softly caressed her face from her forehead to her nose with his forefinger...it went lower on her body as he touched her delicate collarbone and then further towards her ample cleavage

Next he traced his finger over the deep valley between her breasts as khushi's lips trembled with desire...his touch was electrifying...why was he doing it? Was he taking advantage of her? But no...he wasn't like that....her breathing became laboured as he trailed his finger further down over her flat waist before creating lazy circles around her navel...but she could not take it anymore as it continued to travel further down

She grabbed his hand and sat up in bed to watch him smirking at her “I was wondering when you would wake up” he said as she looked into his eyes....molten brown...this was the first time she was seeing them so close, she had seen his eyes before but it was usually in the dark...during the day he always wore dark glasses, making it impossible for anyone to understand where his gaze was

She kept staring at him as his eyes darkened in color...she opened her mouth to say something but no words came out....as if it was impossible for her to form sentences “Don't be so shocked Khushi...you think I didn't know what you two were planning? I had seen NK an hour ago in the lobby itself...I knew he had come to meet Lavanya” Arnav said as he got up leaving Khushi staring at him

“I knew your fainting bit was a ruse...I was in special corps Khushi, I know how an unconscious person looks and feels like like...they don't blush and breath hard...like you did” he said as he turned towards her only to have her blush a crimson hue “I was only testing to see how many more liberties would you let me have” he said as his gaze travelled lazily up her nearly naked body

“Cover yourself Khushi” he said hoarsely as went to pick up his gun that he had kept on the table earlier “Hold on a minute! If you knew NK was here...why did you not stop him? You had direct orders!” she said as she scampered off the bed and came to stand in front of him...her gaze challenging him.

“I know how much NK loves her...and I also know that Guru Kashyap is wrong in doubting him...” he said as khushi looked on dumbstruck, he sighed as he ran a hand through his hair “I'm not a monster Khushi...they both love each other...and if they want to work things out, i'll step away...even if it means being in direct disobedience of an order...NK is not a threat to her” he said as khushi gave him a grateful smile

“Thanks Arnav....they really needed this time together...La will be so relieved” she said as Arnav nodded and turned to leave “But...wait! If you were ok with NK and La meeting..why did not call our bluff? Now La will worry for no reason...we better call her before she gets mad about why you haven't called her yet” she said as she picked up her phone, but arnav caught her hand and took it

“NK knows...I spoke to him when I spotted him earlier...he'll tell everything to La” Arnav said as Khushi's eyes widened “You met him? This is soo messed up! Then why did you bring me here and...and...did all that...” Khushi said her ears turning red “Did what Khushi?” Arnav asked innocently as he walked towards her “You know what i'm taking about” she said as he smirked

“I was finally giving in to my desires” he said huskily as he minimized the distance between them...Khushi sucked in a breath as the meaning of his words finally sank in...he...he was attracted to her...but, he never...she started thinking when his voice broke her thoughts

“Your'e wondering why I never showed it right?...behind my glasses my eyes observed both Lavanya and you....you are always on my mind Khushi...and I can't hold this in any longer” he said as he pulled her towards him before rasping out “And don't you dare deny you don't feel anything for me” he said as his lips descended on hers...hard and soft at the same time, making Khushi's knees turn into jelly.

Her insides went up in flames as his lips devoured hers...she could feel the same desperation and need as she had felt all this time in his kiss...she wound her arms around his neck and kissed him back, opening her mouth to deepen it...she moaned as he slid his tongue inside her mouth to mate with hers...both nipping and sucking as if there was no tomorrow.

“Khushi....we need to stop” Arnav said hoarsely pulling himself away half heartedly....his hands still holding her close, his hands caressing her soft skin.. “I won't be able to stop if we continued” he said as his arms fell away while he turned to leave...but his wrist was caught by khushi in a strong grip... “We don't have to Arnav....i want you....don't go” she said as she led him to the huge cushioned chair near the bed

He stared at her with shameless want as she pushed him to the chair, making him straddle her as she settled over his lap “Khushi...” he said as she shook her head “Don't say anything Arnav...i have wanted this for so long...i don't think I can wait any longer” she said as he pulled her closer to his body and buried his head in her fragrant hair

“Me too baby...maybe we should do this the other way around” he said as she giggled “You mean, you'll take me out on a date tomorrow?” she asked him as he smiled against her neck “Hmm...we'll have to make it a double date for now...but separate tables” he said as he nibbled on the delicate area of her neck

“Umm...i like that” khushi moaned as she arched up to give him more access to her neck, she rubbed herself over his hardened form as his hand came to cup her bottom....he slowly slipped his hand inside her wet bikini bottom as the other held her neck steady for his drugging kisses...Khushi whimpered as his fingers found her throbbing nub and rubbed slowly over it “Aahh....Ooh..Arr...nav...” she moaned as delicious pleasure flowed through her body.

Arnav kept rubbing her as she became wetter by the second...her trembling hands started undoing his buttons..she tore open his shirt before latching her mouth over one of his hard nipples...she trailed kisses over his rock hard body as he shuddered under her expert mouth...he took his hand out to lick his fingers before taking off his shirt completely... “You are delicious...can't wait to taste more of you” he said seductively in her ear as khushi nearly came with his words

She shivered and clutched his shoulders as arnav dipped his head to her straining breasts, his teeth taking in one hard nipple while he massaged the other with his hands... “Ooh...arnav....I need you...inside me” she gasped as he opened the string holding her flimsy top together “Soon sweetheart...but first, let me love you...” he said as she felt him squeeze her breasts in his hands before sucking on them “Gosh...your'e so damn perfect!” he said as she took off his belt and slid her hands inside the waistband of his trousers making him groan loudly.

“Hold on babe...let me make us more comfortable” he said as he hoisted her up in his arms and got up....he placed her on the bed while he divested himself off this pants and boxers....Khushi's eyes rounded as she saw his thick hard manhood, proudly erect for her...”Like what you see?” he asked her as she nodded and stretched on the bed as he lowered himself above her...his hands pinning hers under him.

He kissed her again passionately before trailing his mouth over the same path his finger had traced earlier....he dipped his tongue into her navel while sucking on the delicate skin as khushi hissed in anticipation....he then went still lower and positioned himself between her legs.

He gently placed her left leg over his shoulder before leaving open mouthed kisses all over her inner thigh... “Oh God Arnav....please.....” she moaned loudly as she held onto his shoulders while he kissed her over her engorged nub...his tongue slowly circling over it making her feel out of this world...he kept sucking on her nub till her strained voice made him look up

“Please arnav...” she begged as he saw her flushed face with her eyes closed....he felt his hardened form painfully aroused and ready to take her....he inserted one finger inside her and saw her body shudder.... “Shit...protection!” he said as khushi pulled him up “There's some in the bathroom” she said as they remembered the complementary pack the resort provided.

Without wasting another second, he rushed to get them; khushi helped him don it before both drowned once again in a deep kiss, their sweaty bodies singing as arnav finally slipped inside her velvety warmth...he gasped as her tight walls encased his sheath, making him cry out in pleasure at the exquisite feeling....he increased his thrusts as khushi held on it him...their chests rubbing against each other as each thrust took them to a higher pleasure

“Harder arnav...I need you harder” she moaned as she dug her nails in his back....arnav rammed into her faster as she cried out his name, her body shattering in a powerful orgasm as she came again and again...arnav held out for a little longer to draw out her pleasure before he too gave in to a shuddering climax

Both stayed as they were for a few more seconds before Arnav pulled out of her slowly...making her sigh in pleasure as he pulled her close to him, her head resting on his chest.... “That was...” he said in a hoarse voice as khushi splayed her hands over his toned chest “Hmm....i too have no words...” she said as he smiled into her hair.

“So...where you want to go for dinner tomorrow?” he asked her after a few minutes of comfortable bliss “Hmm....how about Martin's corner? I love the food there” she said as he chuckled “Done! I'll book two tables then...one for us and one for them” he said as khushi smiled “Ok, but make sure our's is a little bit private...but enough to keep your eye on them” she said as arnav kissed her shoulder...his hand moving towards her throbbing center making his intentions clear

“Umm...you are bad for my job....how can I keep a watch on La when you are with me” he said as his body got ready for round two “Is that so? ok...then lets get another bodyguard for La...” she said as arnav cupped her breast making her gasp “Nah...NK is enough for now...they'll be ok....but you....you need me to guard your body...and now that it is mine...no one is allowed to be anywhere near it” he said as she turned around and kissed him soundly... “Off course...my laad governor”

OS: The Rogue Agents...


 Mature Content (18+ only)

“So agent Raizada, how do you like you new partner?” Chief Massey asked Arnav who was signing up some documents as he leaned forward on the chief’s desk “Oh…he’s good…comes with a lot of recommendations…” he said as the chief smiled at him and said in a conspiratory voice “But he’s definitely not as good looking as your ex-partner”

Arnav rolled his eyes at that...he chuckled as the chief gave him a few more papers to sign on before both settled back with cups of coffee “Speaking of your ex-partner…it’s her last day today…won’t you go and say goodbye?” chief massey asked as Arnav shrugged “Yeah…her farewell party is being held in a few minutes…I’m looking forward to the cake!” he said as both men laughed

“Arnav…you are one of the best field agents we have, and I’m very proud of you. But I feel you need to rethink about your decision to not take the promotion…people would kill to get Assistant chief’s position in the FBI…” he said as arnav nodded “I know chief…but where is the thrill in that? When I’m on the field, I feel like I’m doing something worthwhile…trust me, I can’t live without adventure in my life” he said smirking as the chief shook his head

“It’s your choice my son, though I’m sure you will be headed for plenty of adventure soon!” he said as arnav finished the last drop of his coffee and stood up “That I will…and thank God that I won’t have to think constantly about my partner anymore…I may be chauvinist in saying this, but having a woman as a partner is a tough job…granted she is one of the best…but still!” he said as the chief smiled warmly


.............................................................


“Khushi!! I’ll miss you soo much!” Helen said with a pout as her colleague and friend sat clearing up her cubicle…Khushi  kept her stuff aside and got up to give her a big hug “Aww…I’m going to miss you too Helen! Can’t believe I won’t be coming here from tomorrow!” she said with a sad smile as Helen picked up Khushi’s gun and badge

“I know hun…its will be sad to see this cubicle empty…what will you do with this gun? Do you need to return it?” Helen asked as Khushi nodded looking at her Glock 23 “Yeah…the gun I have to return, the badge I get to keep…its very upsetting to give away my protector” Khushi said sliding her finger on the smooth metallic surface of the gun

“Hmm….I can expect you to say something like this! Thank god I have a desk job…I’m not sure how I would have been able to handle a weapon” Helen said as Khushi laughed at her comical expression…they were still giggling as they walked towards the conference room where her farewell party was being held


............................................................


Khushi walked in to find nearly the entire staff and agents on their floor assembled around the large conference table, where a huge square cake with ‘We will Miss you’ written on it was kept…she saw the chief standing right at the head of the table waving at her..she smiled at him as he motioned her to come and cut the cake

“Quick Gupta…I’m starving!” she heard a voice say as she stood near the cake smiling at everyone…she turned around at once to give an annoying look to her ex-partner who seemed to have his eyes focused on the delicious cake…not a bit of remorse of the fact that she was leaving “Hold your horses Raizada…no need to show your glee at my going away” she said with a glare as everyone around them laughed at the world famous Gupta-Raizada fights

It had been three years since both had become field partners at the FBI, Khushi was assigned to Arnav, a senior under the Narcotic division of FBI…she was top of class and one of the best shooters in the new lot and looking at her potential, the chief has paired her up with Arnav for some of his cases…this continued till a while, when after a year, they were made partners.

The entire organization could vouch for the tremendous job both of them had done over the past three years, and had also been awarded many times for the bravery and relentless passion they had for their work…but more than anything, everyone enjoyed their legendary pride and prejudice enactments..Both were too egoistic to listen to what the other had to say…always leading into verbal duels, much to the amusement of others.

Arnav grinned as the cake was being served and reached out to grab one of the plates that were being passed…he had just taken a bite of the creamy chocolaty goodness when he heard Khushi speak in a soft voice..Very near to his ears “Be careful Raizada…I might have laced it with cyanide...” she said as he nearly choked on the piece of cake

“Nothing about you surprises me anymore Gupta!...and boy am I glad that we aren't partners anymore” he said with a chuckle as her Khushi looked at him with something akin to hurt….he saw her face fall and her eyes twitch as she swiftly turned around and walked out of the room…leaving Arnav swearing at his insensitivity “Shit!”


............................................................


Khushi parked her car into her parking space as she shut off the engine…she got down and opened the boot to retrieve her box that held all her stuff from office…She sighed as she picked up the light box and took the elevator to her eighth floor apartment…she unlocked her door and nudged her shoulder to open it while balancing the box with her body

She was just about to walk inside, when the box nearly fell out of her hands, but was steadied quickly by another pair of arms that helped her support it up…Khushi looked up to find herself staring into the same molten caramel eyes that tormented her every day “You! What are you doing here?” she asked him pushing him away as she walked inside the living room and dumped the box on the dining table

“C’mon Gupta is this way to talk to your partner?” Arnav asked lazily as he leaned against her main door…he had gone to apologize to her earlier, but she was too busy with her friends planning a night out…an extension of her farewell party…with only a few people invited and he thanked God that he wasn’t one of them…he abhorred dancing!  Later as he waited for her to get free, he was told that that she had left… and now, here he was.

“I have to get ready Raizada…please leave” she said with an annoyed face as he walked inside and shut the door…effectively making her scowl at him as he walked inside the spacious apartment making himself at home “You really need to calm down…why are you so edgy all the time?” he asked as he sat on the couch with his legs spread out on the coffee table

“Legs off please…this is not a bachelor pad!” she screeched as he quickly took them off “Jesus! What has gotten into you woman?” he asked as he got up and went to her as she turned away from him…. “Look at me when I talk to you!” he said with an irritated voice as she stubbornly looked away and walked towards the tall French windows adorned by silky peach curtains

“I don’t want to look at you…and why will I look at you when you seem to be so happy to get rid of me!” she huffed as he stood behind her…he smiled slightly as he saw her stiff stance…her back rigid under the white shirt she wore, while her long legs stood in attention in the snug fitted pants… “Khushi….” He said softly as she closed her eyes at his husky tone

“I like it when you say my name…” she said with a slight smile as he turned her around to face him….he trailed his finger over her soft dewy cheeks while giving her a lopsided smile “I Love your name Khushi…always have!” he said as she narrowed her eyes at him, her smile turning into a scowl

“Well, you hardly ever call me by my name at work…except…” she said  she he leaned more towards her face “Except what Khushi?....we don’t work together anymore…so it’s no point calling you agent Gupta…” he said as she walked back, her back came in contact with the silk curtains adorning the glass windows… “And aren’t you happy about it!” she spat as he suddenly banged his hands on the window, his arms imprisoning her as their bodies touched  intimately from their shoulders to knees

 “Listen to me…and listen well…You are the best damn partner anyone could ever have…It was a privilege and pleasure working with you Khushi…I can’t remember a single day I regretted not having you beside me…but…I can’t always worry for your safety…you are very important for me babe…you know I only tease you right? You are the best thing that ever happened to me…” he said as she closed her eyes tearing up

“Then how can I see you going out there every day…wondering who you will face...what kind of psycho criminals you will meet today…when I’m with you Arnav, I’m assured that I will be there if needed…now…now, how will I know…I can’t live without you…and if anything happens to you…” she said as he pulled her towards him, his cheek against hers and he buried his head in her neck

“Nothing will happen to me sweetheart…as long as you are in my life…I won’t let anything happen to me, to us…and now…to our child” he said as he laid his hand on her still flat tummy…"I love you Khushi…and nothing in the world will take me away from my family…do you understand Mrs Raizada” he said as she giggled…. “Finally I can be identified with something other than Ms Gupta!” she said as her husband pulled her close, his hungry mouth finding hers as the all too familiar heat surged up their bodies.

Khushi moaned in ecstasy as Arnav expertly molded her plaint body to his hard one, his hand pulling at the knot her hair was tied up in….his mouth got more insistent and urgent as his probing tongue invaded her sweetness, making her clamp her hands tightly on his shoulders as their tongues dueled for dominance

Arnav felt Khushi’s body tauten up as she plunged her hands in his hair, pulling his head closer to her…he angled his lips to slow down the kiss while nipping and sucking at the jaw…he ripped open her no-nonsense white shit to reveal her gorgeous upper body encased in a shocking red bra…his favorite one…he smirked as his mouth trailed down her neck to the ample cleavage her cleavage bra offered

“Umm….Arnav…” Khushi moaned as he bit her hard over one of her breasts before his mouth descended on one of the pebbled peaks, straining out of the lacy bra…she quickly slid her hands over his waist as she divested him of his holster, throwing it on the floor before pulling out his shirt over his head…she feasted her eyes on his perfectly toned muscled body before running her hand seductively over him.

She bit her lips to hold in her moans as arnav unhooked her bra and attacked her aching breasts “God…Khushi…you are so…” he said between trailing his lips over her supple body as her hands went inside his pants, undoing them while stroking around to find his length..already hard and aroused.

“Khushi…” Arnav hissed as she went on her knees to rid him off his trousers…she pulled his boxers down before smiling at him seductively…her hand stroking him gently at first before she repeated the action with her tongue…Arnav grunted in pleasure she took his entire throbbing length inside her mouth, sheathing him in her hot velvety heat

“I can’t...baby….you need to stop” he said as khushi kept on sucking….she finally let go as he yanked her up to crash his lips over hers again while picking her up in his arms, she wound her legs over his waist as liuid heat pooled inside her…he made his way quickly to the large couch and made her comformatble over the pillow.

He hardly spent anytime removing the rest of her clothes as he once again swooped down to nibble on her neck and shoulders while his fingers stroked her down below, making sure she was ready. He could feel her dripping in need as his fingers gliding inside her.

He wanted to bend down and taste her sweetness, but the urgency with which she was writing beneath him  made him slowly slide his fingers out before filling her up with his hard throbbing member…the exquisite feeling of her tight welcoming warmth, making him cry out in pleasure…he kept his pace slow and steady, not wanting to take it hard on her…knowing her condition.

“Aahh….umm….Arnav….God, this feels so good baby….don’t go so slow…I’m…I’m fine….I want you harder…please” she moaned as arnav hardy needed anymore encouragement….he increased his speed while kissing her senseless….she held him by his butt and pushed him more inside her as he latched his mouth once again to her breasts…giving both of them equal love as his wife moaned his name over and over again.

Khushi dug her nails over arnav’s back as she came crashing down with his final hard thrust …she screamed his name as her orgasm hit her again and again…the increased hormonal activity in her body aiding her to reach a mind blowing climax…she could feel arnav too shudder over her as his body convulsed and relaxed as he spilled inside her…both finding the culmination of their act too overwhelming

“Gosh….that was…” she said as arnav looked up from his face buried in her bosom “Awesome right? This is why I fight with you…the make-up sex is just mind-blowing” he said as she grinned while he pressed soft kisses over her belly…"Hey lil guy…hope we did not disturb you…cause you need to get used to this…at least till the time doc says we can” he said as Khushi twisted his ears

“Ouch…that hurt babe…” he said as Khushi snuggled back into his embrace… “Will I be a good mom arnav?” she asked him as he smiled into her hair and kissed her head “You’ll be an awesome mom khushi…I know” he said as she entwined her fingers with his over her belly “I know I should be upset about leaving today…but somehow…I feel at peace…” she said as Arnav stroked her hair with his other hand

“Promise me you’ll think about the promotion Arnav…otherwise I’ll be back on the field…with our baby in tow” she said as arnav laughed “Yeah…we could be like the Incredibles!” he said as she smiled into his chest  “I’ll think about it Khushi…if it bothers you that much…it’s the least I can do for my family…you both are the most important in my life…and I’ll do anything for you” he said as khushi felt her eyes tear up

“Promise?” she asked him as he nodded and kissed her tenderly as she smiled “Great, then get ready…we have my farewell party to go to…and you cannot say no…we’ll dance the night away!” she said as she quickly got up and ran into their bedroom with Arnav not far behind, yelling at the unfairness…the argument as always leading towards uh…another round of….ahem…maybe?
