He lost her before he could even get her.

Third Person's Pov,

He stood there watching her in silence before walking towards her. Her back was facing him and he didn't make her realize his presence when he came and stand right behind her so close that he could inhale her rosy scent.

"Hi!" He whispered into her ears so closely that his lips touched her earlobe which made her flinch in her and she turned abruptly only to collide with him.

She involuntarily take a step back and open her mouth to speak but close it again.

This is the first time that he noticed her eyes so closely. She has angel's eyes. Her eyes are very captivating that could hypnotized anybody. For a second he forgot what he came to say but he reminds himself his purpose to come here.

She was simply breathtaking. Her slender nose, rosy cheeks, pink plump lips.

"Hi," She mumble softly and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"Here it is," She forward her hand and Rishabh look at the pen drive which was in her palm.

He intentionally left his pen drive there to make an excuse to meet her alone.

"Thanks. I don't know how I left it there." He said pretending and took it from her.

"It's okay," She said and tried to calm her heart which was beating rapidly.

She was feeling nervous and timid to meet him like this alone. She was even shy to look at him so she avert her eyes from him and look down at the grass.

"Will you marry me?" Rishabh asked suddenly and she was taken aback for a second.

Of course her answer is positive but should she say to him or not? She contemplated. 

Will it not be better if her family inform him and his family about her answer directly instead of she.

She thought.

"Sanam," He called her name and deliberately stepped closer causing her to take a step back as he moved toward her.

"Jee? (Yes)?" She whispered not knowing what to say.

"I asked you something," This time he said seriously looking at her who had her gaze down.

It took her some time to form a single word and she could feel the seriousness in his tone the way he just asked her.

"I-I.." She stammered. Her throat suddenly turned dry and the atmosphere suddenly change from calm to tense.

He took another step towards her not letting her to take a step back. He sees a strand of hair tickled her face and tucked it behind her ear.

Her heart did a wild thump in her chest as she felt his fingers lingering on her cheeks, graze her soft skin with the back of his knuckles before he take his hand back.

Her breath hitched on her chest and she bit her lips instinctively when she felt his hot breath near her ears causing goosebumps to rise on the nape of her neck.

A gasp escaped past her lips when she was flushed against his chest. His hands securely wrapped around her waist and she was squished against his muscular chest.

Her eyes wide and heart drummed in her ears and her mind froze because of his sudden proximity. He was so close. She could inhale his rich cologne.

And he find her so delicate and fragile in his arms. She fits perfectly in his arms. One of his hand rested on her waist and other hand caressed the back of her head. He was tall and probably 6'3. And she was small and fragile, she only reached his chest.

"Say something or I'm taking your silence as yes." He said in his dark voice and she close her eyes tightly before she clutches his shirt in her small fist. A devilish smirk fluttered on his lips as he felt her body tremble and reacting on his touch.

"It's a yes, right?" He asked, his tone powerful and demanding.

She stiffened even more when she felt a slight squeeze on her waist.

"Rishabh ji," She stuttered taking his name. She was nervous mush in his arms.

For the first time she took his name and he find his name so soft and gentle from her mouth. Her voice was small and soft just like her soft frame.

Why she is acting so innocent and pious? Girls like her shameless and greedy for money can do anything. Then why she is hesitating so much? She is getting what she wants then why she is acting like this?

He thought.

''You aren't not saying anything. So I am assuming your answer yes, baby.'' He said in his dominant and husky voice that made her feel intimidate.

He placed a soft peppery kiss against her neck and she felt of jolt of electrifying jolts ran down her spine as his lips touch her neck. Her breathe start to get ragged and something flash across her mind and she tightly closes her eyes.

''Rishabh ji, I-I..'' Sensing her uncomfortness, he removes his arms around her and takes two step back realizing what he just did.

He was too stunned to speak not being able to look at her.

What the heck! Did I just her kissed her? Shit!

He cursed.

Everything turned so awkward and he didn't know what should he say to her. He just hope she doesn't find him a jerk or a creepy person and say no to this alliance. Because that will only ruin his plans.

The silence was broken when his phone rings. He cleared his throat, looking away from her and answer the call.

"Yeah, yeah I'm coming," He said hurriedly and cut the call.

"I- I should go now. It's- very late." She said mustered up courage but her voice was barely audible.

Looking back at her, he scratched his neck in embarrassment and says " I'm sorry. I didn't meant to do that."

"Good night."

***

Reaching her room, she closed the door behind her and breath heavily. She placed her hand on her chest to calm her heart which was wildly thumping. She was still in shock and couldn't comprehend in her mind what just happened.

He just didn't hugged her. He kissed her too.

"How- he.. How could I? This.. this is not right." She was blabbering with herself. This is what she does when she is tensed or scared about something.

In those few minutes he made her feel all those feelings that she had buried in her heart long time ago.

She went to her balcony and look at the beautiful moon and the sparkling stars in the dark sky.

Though the moon looks beautiful but it also has scars just like me.

She thought and chuckled bitterly.

On the other side,

"I fu*king messed up! Damn it!" He raked his fingers through his hair and clenched his jaws tightly.

"Why the f**k I did that?" He cursed himself again and again.

He stared out of his window and gaze the moon which he finds it beautiful surprisingly. He's not a person who is fond of stars and moons. But tonight it was a different story.

Just like the cold breeze touch his face and he finds it soothing and peaceful, he felt the same thing when she was in his arms.

Her delicate soft figure like a doll against his frame and the way she fit in his arms as if she's the only one who belongs to stay in his arms.

Her eyes were cast down not even for once she looked up at him. He was finding himself attracted to her already. And the way she took his name with her soft lips he find himself tempted with her just small move.

If all this wasn't meant to teach her a lesson for messing up with his family. Then he would love to do many things with her.

No girls ever made him feel like this which he felt with her in those few moments. He's not any saint person. Girls throw themselves on him because of his money and looks. He had many one night stands with many girls but no one was like her.

Her innocence reflects on her face. For a minute he really doubt what Riya described about her. She doesn't seem like that. But again looks can be deceiving. 

She's beautiful and fragile. 

In those few moments, one thing he's sure now what he wants. Earlier he planned to ditch her after playing with her heart, making her see the dreams of becoming rich having lots of money in her bank account and then making her fall for him and then break the engagement with her.

But now he's wants to do more than that. He will now not be satisfied with this only. He wants more of her now and that will happen only when his name will come attach with her.

Had he began to like her?

No. He knows it's nothing but a mere infatuation. He's sure about that. And this attraction or infatuation whatever it is will go away by only one night stand. 

Or may be more than one night. 

He laughs at his evil thoughts.

"You shouldn't have messed with my family. You shouldn't have caught my eyes, little heart." He smiled viciously.

"Things going to be more fun now!" He smirked and look at the shining moon.
