115 Tempted to kiss (1/2)

Since she started her play of 'they did unspeakable in the office', he played along to see how far she could go. He reached and scooped her in his arms effortlessly and caringly asked, ”Aren't you sore? Why are you walking around?”

Naomi: ”...”

'Sore?' Aarvi was now confused, she didn't understand why she will be sore. Her brows raised at him asking what he was talking about.

Aaron remembered her reactions when they were bluffing the kiss and now so he understood she is naive in something. His eyes moved to her lower body indicating what he was talking about and saw her flush red immediately.

Aarvi discerned he was playing along, 'How the hell will I know it will be sore?... Wait, why will it be sore?' She thought as she turned away from his deep gaze and caught Naomi thirsting for her blood.

Naomi would have thought Aarvi was just tricking her due to jealousy but how Aaron was behaving tenderly serving Aarvi confirmed what she assumed. 'T-They can be in just physical relationships, r-right?' She forced herself to think it her way and avoided looking at them curling her fingers into tight fists but she couldn't possibly turn deaf.

Aaron left Aarvi on his chair to avoid hurting her back by sitting and working on the couch. Then he teased when she adjusted herself on the leather chair, ”I will be gentle.”

Aarvi froze hearing his suggestive hypnotizing voice, 'Why did I get caught to him? Can't he be dumber?' She wasn't going to lose her composure in front of Naomi hence she just hummed pushing him away but the man still kissed her forehead.

Aarvi blurted out in a low voice without understanding why he keeps kissing her every time they come close, ”Are you addicted to kissing me?”

Well, it still reached the ears of the one who was sitting on the other side of the desk to witness Aaron's bewitching smile at Aarvi yet she felt her heart raise the beats. 'Why? Why should it be her? Why can't I be the one?'

She couldn't believe the years of silently following Aaron and waiting for him to notice her were turning to ashes right before her eyes as soon as Aarvi entered their life. 'I am intelligent, educated, dedicated to my profession, stayed with him for years, why does it have to be her who came just yesterday?' Hopelessness and anger surfaced in her.

Aaron didn't respond to it, he propped his alluring face in front of Aarvi, ”Try, perhaps… you might get addicted.”

Curiosity rose, Aarvi tempted to kiss him to check if she would behave like Aaron. The latter gave her lenience for the first try and turned his cheek to her. Looking at his fair cheek, 'Unless I try and see the actual results, I will not know, right?' She persuaded herself and moved closer to his cheek.

Aarvi caught Naomi's bleak gaze and paused. She could guess that Naomi loves Aaron for a pretty long time and it would undoubtedly hurt her to see Aaron's unseen tenderness with another woman.

Aarvi returned her petty tricks with simple lines but what they were doing would deepen her wounds whereas all Naomi did is to love the man who is in love with her.

Instead of a kiss, Aaron heard a soft feathery voice in a whisper, ”Go and work. I will not come again if you waste time.”

Aaron resignedly moved back without forcing her. He took out a cotton knitted throw over from the side table near the couch to cover her slender legs and placed her laptop on the desk. ”Two hours, then we will go out.” He placed the snacks near her and returned to sit opposite to her.

Aarvi hummed by hiding her smile. Nobody could take care of her better than him and he is detailed in everything he does for her each time...

”Eyes on the laptop.” Aaron's voice sounded after two minutes while his eyes were on Noami's laptop screen checking the survey details of heart patients.

Aarvi then realized she was staring at him and Naomi was glaring at her. 'Do you have eyes on your head?' She lowered her head to hide her face behind the laptop screen and worked...

Naomi desperately wanted to turn her laptop to see what was she doing on the laptop or whether Aaron gave her laptop to play games and timepass when Aarvi's fingers jumped on the buttons fluidly creating the rhythmic tone in the office other than Aaron flipping the pages.
