Chapter Twenty Seven

Business was going well for Arnav and because things were going so well, he was completely busy with it. He made trips to the main city now and then to take care of business and at home, he was stuck on his laptop. Khushi teased him now and then, saying that she was lonely and that he should have married the laptop instead, but it was only a joke. However, Arnav found that true and he didn't deny it - he was surrounded by work that he barely got to spend time with his love. He wanted to see her more often than he now usually did.

Arnav had just finished with a conference call and was making his way to his father's study. He knocked on the door and Aryan had him come in. Aryan was sitting at his desk, reading a book.

"What can I help you with son," Aryan smiled, putting the book down.

"I wanted your opinion."

Aryan scrunched his eyebrows. "About what?"

"Well, its also for your permission."

Aryan's frown deepened.

Arnav took a deep breath. "What if Khushi worked with me? She is a business major after all. She could help me with work here and there."

Aryan nodded and leaned forward. "Hmm... have you asked Khushi?"

"No."

"Well ask her first and find out how she feels."

"I already know what she's gonna say. She's gonna be all like how she has to help with the housework and what not. And then she's gonna mention you so I thought why not go to you first."

Aryan chuckled. "That's Khushi alright."

"Yup."

Aryan leaned back in his seat. "I'm fine with her working with you. You could use some help and you need someone completely trustworthy. Khushi's perfect for that. So go ask her how she feels about it."

Arnav grinned. "Thanks dad! You're the best!"

Aryan grinned as he watched his son walk out. He looked out the window and at the stars.

We both know he's gonna be distracted, right Shalini, he wondered. Good. Because the poor boy needs it. He sighed. Reminds me of when we used to fool around. Like father and mother, he chuckled to himself.

*~*

"So what do you think," Arnav asked.

Khushi just gaped. Arnav had told her of his proposition and couldn't believe it.

"Papa agreed," she asked. "Just like that?"

Arnav nodded. "Yup."

"B-but what about the housework? The cooking, the cleaning, the-"

"There are other people to take care of that, love."

"But-"

"I thought of it and dad approves of it." Arnav held her by her waist. "All you need to do is agree."

"But I don't want to leave all that stuff on Dai Ma's shoulder," Khushi pouted.

Arnav smiled softly and tucked her hair behind her ear. "It's okay, Khushi. She won't mind either. Besides she's been doing all of this before I married you and she likes it. I know she won't mind."

"But-"

"But nothing. I want you to join not only so that I get some help but so that I see you more often. When work gets heavy, I barely see you and I don't like that."

Khushi smiled softly. "Aww, that's so cute of you."

Arnav cocked an eyebrow.

Khushi giggled. "Okay, I'll go to work with you."

Arnav's eyes lit up like child's on Christmas morning. "Really?'

Khushi nodded. "Yes."

"Yes!"

Arnav picked her up and swung her around, Khushi giggling as she did.

Arnav slid her down his front. "God, I love it when you laugh."

Khushi beamed.

"I never thought I would say this but I can't wait to go to work tomorrow."

*~*

Arnav took Khushi to the office the next day and she learned the ropes. The staff were kind and they all greeted her with a smile. Khushi had gotten her own office space next to Arnav's room and she would be working in there. Arnav taught her about the company and everything to it. It was just a matter of time until Khushi understood it all. It surprised Khushi especially when she learned that the company made $75,000 in an hour, and they were improving, hoping to make $100,000.

Wow, Khushi thought. Arnav has worked so hard in such an amount of time. This company truly must make him happy.

It was just a matter of time that Khushi had learned everything and she helped Arnav out with work. She eventually got her chance to go to the main city, where she had never gone before. Khushi was excited when Arnav told her they would be going. It surprised Arnav when he learned of that, but knowing her parents, it made sense. So he planned on making this trip epic for her. They arrived to a hot-shot hotel, and they lived in the presidential suite. Arnav took her around the city the day after and they did a ton of shopping, as well as some sight-seeing. The day after, they went to AR and Khushi was stunned by how huge and beautiful it was. They were staying for a couple of weeks and that was enough time for Khushi to learn about this branch and how it operated.

Time went along and the couple would go here and there for work. Usually it would be a trip to the city, but they mostly stayed at home. During their break, Khushi would stay with Arnav his room, and she would gaze out to the waterfront. She could see the variety of boats, as well as the grand houses and huge plots of empty lad around it.

What would it be like to have a home there, Khushi wondered.

Arnav came in with their lunch and placed it on the desk. "What's up love?"

"Nothing, just enjoying the view," she smiled softly.

"Well I like what I'm seeing," Arnav winked.

Khushi giggled and looked away.

Arnav came behind her and held her waist. He nuzzled her behind her ear and kissed her wear her neck met her shoulder. Khushi took in a sharp breath, her body coming to life by his touch.

"There's something I want to try with you," Arnav whispered.

"What," Khushi breathed.

"I want to have sex with you here."

Khushi's eyes widened and she turned around to gape at him. "What?!"

Arnav blinked. "What," he said innocently.

Khushi smacked his hands off of her. "Do you have no shame?"

Khushi walked away from Arnav to get her lunch.

"What's wrong with that," Arnav asked. "It's quite normal here."

Khushi's eyes widened. "Normal?"

"Yeah. You don't think I don't know that some of the staff do it here in the building?"

Khushi's jaw dropped. "They do?"

"Yeah. They're lucky I've never caught them in the act. But that smell of sex down there just makes it too obvious. We've got some horndogs in here," Arnav said with a roll of his eyes. "That's what I get for having people fresh out of college."

Khushi frowned and then she shook her head clear. "You really want to have sex here?"

Arnav shrugged.

Khushi pursed her lips and then she looked down. She picked up their lunch and put it on the coffee table. Arnav watched her as she walked back and sat on top his desk, right in front of his chair.

"Okay," Khushi blushed.

Arnav shook his head and stood before her. "Khushi, it's okay if you don't want to. We don't-"

"No, I want to-"

"Khushi-"

"I've read about it."

Arnav frowned.

"I've read novels where they have sex on the desk," she blushed. "It always... fascinated me."

Khushi blushed even harder as she watched Arnav's lips curve up. She could see him trying to hide his amusement, but he couldn't. Khushi crimsoned and covered her face. Arnav reached forward and moved her hands away.

"Don't hide that pretty face," Arnav said softly.

Khushi only looked down.

Arnav cupped her face and tilted it up so that she'd look at him. "Are you sure?"

Khushi bit the inside of her lip and nodded. "Yes," she breathed.

Arnav sighed and leaned his forehead against hers. "Khushi, we don't always have to do what I want."

"I know," she whispered.

"I never want to force you into anything."

"I know." She cupped his face in her hands and had him look at her. "I trust you Arnav."

With a groan, he sealed her lips. He brought his arms around her waist and pulled her lower half against him. Khushi gasped, feeling his erection.

"This is what your words do to me," Arnav whispered on her lips before kissing her again.

Arnav reached behind Khushi and pushed everything of his desk. He slowly laid Khushi down, without braking the kiss.

"I love you," Khushi whispered.

"I love you too," Arnav replied, running his nose along hers.

Arnav reached down to undo his belt and Khushi reached up to kiss him. Her hands joined his and they undid his belt and trousers, releasing him. Arnav reached under Khushi's dress and Khushi tilted her pelvis up, letting Arnav pull down her panties.

"They're soaked," he smirked against her lips.

Khushi bit her lip. "Your words do that to me," she whispered.

Without another word, Arnav reached into his pocket and got a condom, and put it on. He entered her in one swift move and both groaned.

"You're so fucking tight," he grained, his eyes screwed shut, the appreciation visible on his face.

Khushi kissed his forehead and his cheeks as he slowly moved inside her. Gradually, his speed increased. Khushi would meet him every time, creating a rhythm between them. Khushi reached beck a gripped the desk, feeling her body build up.

Oh my god, this is even better than how books describe it, Khushi exclaimed in her head.

As her body built, her back began to arch. Arnav was reaching his high as well, his thrusts more relentless than ever! Within seconds, both of them came, Khushi's body coming completely off the desk as she arched her back. Both came down with a thud and they broke into laughter. Khushi held Arnav to her as they laughed and calmed down.

"Well... that ended with a bang," Arnav chuckled.

"That it did," Khushi giggled.

Arnav picked up his chin and looked at Khushi. "I'm so lucky to have you."

Khushi shook her head. "Its me that's lucky to have you."

"Wrong," and he sealed his lips over hers.

They remained entangled that way, holding and playfully kissing each other, even though their break was over and everyone had resumed their work. Thank goodness for the tinted glass and soundproof walls or else who knows how everyone would react to the noises that were coming from there.
