***Sahana's P.O.V***

"I know the guy... he's been like this all his life... he fears losing the people he loves and well.... though he's an arrogant dick, he is possessive and cares a lot for the people close to him.... he doesn't mean what he's said... he's been feeling low from the past couple of days, seeing how the love of his life.... his girlfriend... is about to move out of his cabin and he's going to get less time to spend with her" Raj said in a serious tone, making me choke.

"Hey are you alright?!" Raj asked in concern as I continued to choke and cough.

"Yea....yeah yeah.... no.... who..... girlfriend... what?!?" I blabbered as blood rose to my cheeks - how the fuck could he know?!

"Oh c'mon really Sahana?! You're gonna tell me that you and Arush are just friends?! Oh no wait hang on... not friends... just a manager and his employee?! That nothing's going on between you two?! That the way he gawks at you, or you at him - is nothing?! That the hickey on his neck is just a bruise he got randomly....And your swollen lips is because you have been biting your own lips while exercising?! That his swollen lips means he's biting them?! That fucker had given such a lame excuse.... I swear it had taken literally my everything to not guffaw with laughter that day" Raj chuckled at the memory of the day when Raj and Arush had come home for the first time - the day Arush and I had had our first ever kiss.

"Ahem ahem... lost in some very good memories are we?!" Raj asked in a teasing tone, and biting my lip in embarrassment, I looked up to find him smirking at me - my blushing cheeks always betray me!!

"I've known Arush literally for my whole life... I've told you... I know my best friend... and now I know you.... asshole, arrogant, bloody fucker, egoistic bastard... - he's everything.... but he's a good human too and you're lucky that you have him in your life... You're lucky that the asshole who's never ever even looked up at another girl is now smitten by you, and that you have him wrapped up around your pinky... he's a good guy and he'll keep you happy... he won't ever hurt you... he's a possessive dick I agree, but he loves you so damn much... please don't ever hurt him" Raj said seriously, looking intently into my eyes.

The words he said about Arush - of how much Arush loves me and how much he is actually smitten by me - touched me deep and my eyes welled with tears of happiness.

"I am your good friend and another brother to you, but Arush is my best mate and he always comes first for me... so don't ever hurt him.... I know he won't ever hurt you, but if he becomes a real pain in the ass.... just use some lube" Raj said, winking.

Though I blushed scarlet at his words, I couldn't help giggle too - Raj truly is a very good friend of Arush, like Arush is to him.

"No but on a serious note... if that asshole ever becomes a real pain in the ass, I'll sort him out.... I know that I'm not as physically strong as your boyfriend or your brother, but I can be very charming, and your boyfriend is very fun to irritate" Raj said, grinning, to which I agreed, chuckling.

"And if you two kids get down to business, don't forget protection" Raj said winking, as he got up from his seat.

"And also, I call dibs on godfather" he said before dashing off, leaving me giggling and blushing.

The thought of Arush and me finally doing it.... Getting married... Starting a family... Although it's all too overwhelming, I couldn't help but blush.

And my breath hitched in my throat as I remembered how Arush wouldn't even leave me from his arms every morning the time he'd spent at my home, and how he'd do the same even after we got married.

I know he can't get enough of me, like I can't get enough of him.... But why is it that he's more passionate than I am?

Making my way back to my dragon's dungeon, my cheeks started burning as I realized that Arush would never even let me out of his arms for even a second, once we got married. He'd kiss me and touch me for every second we got to be alone!

***Arush's P.O.V***

With my jaw aching thanks to all the times I'd ground my teeth and clenched my jaw for the day, I stormed to my cabin, fuming at the incident that had just taken place in the cafeteria.

HOW COULD SAHANA LOVE A DOG MORE THAN ME?!

I'm fairly cuddly and believe me you when I say that Sahana loves to wake up in my arms, or be in my arms in general.... and yet.... and yet she loves that Zuno more than me?!

Like seriously.... What really makes Sahana love Zuno more than me?!

Zuno has hair all over his body.... I too have hair all over my body!!

Zuno licks your face when you go too close to him - he's fairly cuddly. I TOO LICK SAHANA'S FACE WHEN SHE'S CLOSE TO ME!! I KISS HER FACE... ALL OVER HER FACE!!

I smell great, I have a great smile, and I can make Sahana's toes curl in pleasure just by gazing intently at her.... and inspite of all that she loves Zuno?! What the fuck?!!

And thank goodness she's not yet met Zuno!!!

Else I'm pretty sure you'd have had torn the dog limb-to-limb for having licked her, or even sniffing her - my subconscious chirped and for the first time I found myself agreeing with him.

Pacing my cabin angrily, I shot a glance to Sahana's empty chair and sighed - why am I feeling so much pain? Why can't I let go off of her for even a second?

Why can I never get enough of her kiss, or her smile, or her hugs?

Will I ever get satiated of her? No! Why is it like this?

I hadn't kissed her since yesterday and it's killing me from within. My hunger for her is growing stronger with every passing second and there's nothing I can do about it.

And at last when everything else seemed to fail, a sudden idea popped into my head, making me sigh in relief - be ready my baby!

Resuming my work, I kept stealing glances towards the door, waiting for my love to come. I've not behaved properly with her from yesterday afternoon and I haven't even tasted her lips.

And as the memory of our second base flashed in my mind, my arousal stirred to life and my palms started tingling in hunger - hungry for the feel of her soft breasts against them.

I hadn't dared to try anything like that again because I knew my self restraint would give in. I wanted our first time to be special - something that we both can cherish for all our lives later as husband and wife.

Just then, my cabin door opened and a very flustered looking Sahana entered. Her soft cheeks were glowing as she continued to blush, and without even looking at me, she made way to her place and sat down on her chair.

I continued to look at her as she, oblivious to my stare, bit her lip, fanned herself, cleared her throat, gulped, and tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear.

She bit her lip again and shook her head - as though coming out of a revery and suddenly turned to look at me.

I smiled at her to which her eyes went wide, her cheeks turned even more red if possible, and she took a sharp intake of breath.

"Babe? What happened?? Did that fucker tell you anything??" I asked softly, pulling my chair up close to her's.

Sahana bit her lip and shook her head in a no, looking rather shy.

"Come here... Sit on my lap" I said, holding out my hand to her.

Sahana looked at me in confusion and hesitantly got up from her chair as she placed her hand in mine and sat down on my lap.

As I put both my arms around her waist and pulled her more to myself, she put her arms around my neck and stared at my face.

"What happened jaanu?" I asked her again, tucking a stray strand of her hair behind her neck.

At this, she shot her shocked eyes to mine and blushed even more, but a smile curled her plum lips before she bit into her lower lip.

"You called me jaanu?" She asked happily before blushing still more and biting her lip.

"Yes... Because you're my jaan" I said, smiling at the look of amazement at her face.

Her tomato red cheeks were inviting me to kiss and bite them but I wanted to know what was eating my jaan's head.

"So what do I call you?" She asked me softly, toying with my shirt button and not meeting my eyes.

"You can call me anything you want" I said softly, nuzzling her blushing red soft cheek.

"So.... Can I call you baby?" She asked softly, to which blood surely rose to my cheeks but I hummed in response.

"And what about handsome?" She asked, looking coyly from under her lashes, to which I smiled and nodded my head in a yes.

"And what about husband? Can I call you my husband?" She asked, finally sitting straight and looking deep into my eyes.

Words failed me at the happiness I felt and I looked intently at her before pulling her face to kiss her lips.

"Uffo love birds!!! My eyes!! My eyes!!!" Came Raj's voice, just as my lips were about to brush Sahana's.

Blushing, Sahana got up from my lap even before I could register what was happening, and angrily, I turned at my seat to find Raj standing just inside my cabin, the door closed behind him, and a naughty smirk plastered on his face.

"Fucker" I growled angrily, glaring at him.

"Did I disturb you guys?" Raj asked naughtily, winking at me.

"You didn't let us even get started" I spat angrily, glowering at him.

"Aww look my best friend is back to his assholedness" Raj said before chuckling.

"Fuck off" I said before grasping Sahana's wrist and tugging it, making her land on my lap, to which she blushed scarlet before trying but failing to get off of my lap.

"Uhu....Not good naughty boy... There's a meeting right now... You two bunnies can get back to business after the meeting" Raj said silkily before smirking and dashing out of the cabin.

"Raj knows about us" Sahana said, after he went out.

"Yeah well, he knows me well" I said off handedly before kissing Sahana's cheeks.

"There's a meeting now" She said softly, trying and yet again failing to get off of my lap.

"Kiss me and I'll let you go" I said, to which she giggled, but blushed nevertheless.

I grinned before moving my face forwards and pouting - making it easier for her to kiss. But Sahana got the better off of me as she slowly moved forward and pecked my cheeks.

Even before I'd grasped what had happened, she'd jumped off of my lap and dashed out of the cabin, giggling happily.

I smirked to myself before following her out of the cabin - there's a meeting to attend and some very important announcements to make too!
