The next day, Naira didn't talk with Kartik, he tried a few times but she didn't say a single word just nodded in response.

They were in office when Kartik called Naira to his cabin,

"Show me the designs," He said in his authoritative voice, she nodded and showed him designs.

"Explain, Naira. I can't get of what sections these designs are." He said and smirked at her, now she has to talk.

She again nodded and took a paper and pen and wrote down the explanation and showed him.

His gave her a hard look, this time she smirked at him.

He got back to his work and she left his cabin.

____________________________

After that Kartik didn't call her to his cabin nor he tried to talk with her, she thought he forgot the bet.

By the time, they were done with their work and was now in the car, driving to home.

Naira looked at him, he still didn't say anything. For a time, she felt bad. She thought he cared, but he doesn't care whether she talk with him or not.

She shrugged it off. Soon, they reached home. Naira was going towards her room but was instantly stopped by Kartik when he held her arm and dragged her upstairs.

He remembered.

Naira acted stubborn and didn't say anything still. She tried getting out of his grip but he was too strong for her.

He took her to his room and closed the door.

He took off his blazer and rolled up his sleeves showing his well built arms.

"So you still not gonna talk?" He said taking small steps towards her.

Naira was thinking of ways escaping from this man who was now looking at her as if she's his prey.

Bathroom! She quickly ran towards washroom but in a second was caged between wall and Kartik.

"Nah! Not so easily, Mrs.Kartik."

She looked upto him, Mrs.Kartik was what hit her. He never called her his wife.

"You're going to talk or not?" She shook her head still caged between him and the wall.

"Fine, you'll be responsible for the things." He whispered in her ears, making her shiver.

"Have you been kissed, Naira?" He asked his voice laced with intense slide.

"Tell me, did someone kiss you?" He asked rubbing his thumb on her lower lip.

"Did someone ever touch you in a way I do?" He again asked, pressing his body to her making her to sigh out.

He inched more closer, his nose tip touching hers.

"Tell me, have you ever been kissed?" As he spoke, his lips touched her lips in a butterfly kiss.

She was waiting for him, but he moved down to her neck, inhaling her scent.

"Tell me to stop," He said almost threatening as he placed a few soft kisses on her neck moving to her collarbone, "Tell me to stop, Naira." He again said but she still didn't say anything, it was not about wining the bet, his closeness wasn't letting her to speak.

"Just fine." He said and without any warning, his lips were on her for the first time in a while since they were together.

It maybe one of his another kisses, but it was her first kiss.

He kissed her softly, calmly. But before she could even get it, he moved away and cold air brushed against her hot body.

A sigh of annoyance escaped her mouth at the lost of proximity, he chuckled and again closed the distance.

"Who was the first man to kiss you, Naira?" He asked huskily, standing way too close to her that she could smell his minty breath.

You, her mind screamed.

"Tell me who touched you here first?" He again asked rubbing her waist inside of her shirt.

He leaned down, and kissed the side of her lips. And how badly she wanted him to kiss her but she knew he won't kiss her until she speak.

"Tell me who kissed you first?" He again and again asked and this time she lost, she didn't care about the bet and spoke up.

"You." It was a half plead to continue what he was doing.

He smiled and again kissed at the corner of her lips.

"Name, Naira, name." His authoritative voice work was doing its work making her feel dizzy. He pressed his groin into her thigh and for second time she lost it.

"K..kartik." She moaned out and his lips straight landed on hers as if he was pleased with the answer.

It wasn't a slow or calm kiss like previous time, but a furious kiss with need and urgency. As soon she started kissing him back, he lifted her up and she locked her legs around his waist. He pushed her to wall with a force, with that his groin pressed against her core and a foreign feeling filled her stomach. She gasped at the sudden touch, he got the chance of plunging his tongue in her mouth. She tried to match his pace, but he was too fast, it felt like as if he's pro at it.

Her hands went into his hairs, playing with his locks and tugging them hard by time making him to groan.

When he was busy kissing her as if his life's depended on it, her mind wandered to previous events.

"Toh kya maaro gy tum?"
"Jaan se maarun ga."

"Just shut up, Naira. Don't cross your limit."

"Chali jao na hum dono ki life asaan ho jayegi. Bas yeh aik akhri ahsaan kardo aur chali jao."

As she remembered those bitter memories, his hatred towards her, she looked at him he was busy kissing her. Unknowingly, tears rolled down her cheeks, that went unnoticed by him, maybe he noticed but didn't care.

It was right or wrong?

He feels something for her or he's just time passing?

He likes her, right? But what if he's playing with her feelings again.

No, not this time!

She pushed him with force, "Stop." She got on ground and adjusted her dress, wiping her tears.

"Whats wrong? Are you okay?" He asked her with concern taking steps towards her, she was just fine but what happened all of a sudden, ofc he won't kiss her without her consent but she herself wanted it.

"Don't come close." It was pissing him off, first she was enjoying now this melo drama.

"What happened, Naira?" He asked calmly, trying hard to control his anger.

"You're asking me what happened, ask yourself, Kartik. This is wrong, you can't do this to me. You don't want me in your life, then why this closeness, why? We are just pretending for the world, right? Then why these kisses, why?" She half yelled breaking down.

"Oh wow, Naira. Now its me? Weren't you enjoying? Didn't you enjoy everytime I was close to you, when I touched you didn't you enjoy? Didn't you just took my name when we were-

"Just stop it, Kartik." She yelled tears still leaking from her eyes.

He laughed out breaking her heart once again.

"I can't do this? I can't touch you, huh? Or you think that if I kiss you it'll mean that I like you?" He again laughed saying, she looked at him, surprised.

"So you mean, this was nothing? We kissed and it meant nothing?" She knew she was breaking her own heart.

"Are you serious, Naira? It was just a kiss, get over it." He said rolling his eyes as if it wasn't a big deal.

"Don't you have any emotions, Kartik? Doesn't it hurt you even a bit breaking me again and again?" Her voice cracked down while speaking and for a while his heart clenched at her words.

"I didn't break you or hurt you, Naira. Stop expecting so much. It was just a kiss, forget it and if you think that it was my mistake then I am sorry, okay?" Little did he know, his every word was breaking her within.

It meant nothing to him. It was a mistake for him.

She wondered why did she even fell for this man who didn't even care a bit, he didn't care about her emotions he still doesn't.

"You don't have a heart, Kartik." She yelled and left his room.
