Owned by YouWords: 16551

Darshil looked down at Aarvi and for a moment, he was tempted to give in and kiss her, but he knew that would be wrong, that it wouldn't be right to kiss her when she is in this state. He didn't want to take advantage of her.

Hazel, listen... you're not in your right mind right now. You won't even remember any of this when you wake up tomorrow... so you shouldn't... we shouldn't... Darshil said in a soft voice.

Aarvi smiled ,pouted and then rested her head softly against Darshil's chest and Darshil felt like his heart beating so fast. He closed his eyes and felt his heart skip a few beats when she rested her head on his chest, holding onto his body. The way she was pressed against him, the way she was gripping his shirt, it took all his will power to not give in and do what he really wanted. He gently caressed her hair.

Hazel..... you really should go to bed... you're clearly not in your right mind right now. I'll tuck you in and put you to sleep, okay? Darshil said

Will you sleep beside with me? Aarvi asked

Darshil felt another shock of surprise go through his body at this question. A part of him wanted nothing more in that moment than to say "yes", to hold her in his arms as she slept. But his better judgment kicked in, reminding him that that would be wrong, that he can't take advantage of her like that.

Hazel, you... you're intoxicated right now... I can't sleep beside you in your current state.... Darshil said

Aarvi looked at him making puppy like eyes and baby face look.

I am asking just to sleep..... I won't touch you. Please, I.... Need you Darshil. Aarvi said and blinked her eyes again few times

Darshil was conflicted, torn between his better judgment and his aching desire to hold her close. He stared down at her, his heart squeezing when he saw that baby face her were making, his heart wanting to give in to her plea. He let out a defeated sigh

I... damn it... alright... I'll sleep beside you. But you have to promise me that you .....we will stay within our boundaries, Got it? Darshil reluctantly spoke in a slightly defeated tone.

Aarvi nods.

Darshil chuckled a bit. But then his eyes once again roamed over her bare legs, his heart getting more and more tempted every second.

Damn it..... you really aren't making this easy, huh? Darshil spoke under his breath as he quickly went to Aarvi's changing room and grabbed a trousers, then walked back to her and gave it to her.

Here... put these on. Darshil said

Will you like me even with these?Aarvi asked

Darshil chuckled as he handed her the trousers, his eyes going up and down her body and taking in her curves and bare skin, drinking in the sight of her.

Hazel, you're always gonna be irresistible to me, no matter what you're wearing. Darshil said

Aarvi grins and then puts on the trousers.

Darshil watched as she put on the trousers, and while he did think she looked adorable in them, he also couldn't help but miss the sight of herr bare skin. He knew that he was probably going to regret this.

Alright. You're all set. Let's go to bed, Hazel. Darshil said

Aarvi nodded but her legs were shaking and she lost balance.

Darshil quickly stepped forward and caught her as she started to lose balance, grabbing onto her waist to hold her up. He picked her up in his arms and puts her on the bed.

Careful..... Come on, I got you. Let's get you into bed, alright? Darshil said

He stood beside the bed, standing next to her as she sat on the edge. His eyes roamed over her body, taking in her petite frame, the way she was seated on the bed, and how his shirt that she was wearing slightly shifted, leaving her smooth collarbone revealed.

Hazel, lay down... you need to rest now. Darshil said

Aarvi shook her head and then grabs Darshil's tie and pulled him on the bed.

Darshil was caught off guard completely as she suddenly pulled him onto the bed, his eyes widening and heart beating faster as he was suddenly lying on his back next to her. He was so close to her that he could feel the heat of her body, and it took all of his willpower not to touch her.

Hazel... what are you doing? Darshil said in amusement

Aarvi giggled and stared in his eyes for a moment and leaned forward, keeping her chin on her hand, she winked at him.

He felt a shock go down his spine as he saw her winking at him seductively, his eyes widening and heart rate accelerating. He was trying so hard to keep his mind and body in control, but it was getting more and more difficult the closer she was to him and the more she was teasing him.

Hazel, don't do this..... You don't know what you are doing to me. Darshil said

Aarvi smiles, and bites her lips softly and then winks at him.

Darshil let out another low, guttural moan as his eyes were drawn to her lips as she bit them, every ounce of his self-control evaporating. He couldn't hold back any longer, the need to become too strong. His eyes darkened.

Don't bite your lips that way, you have no idea what it does to me, when you do that. Darshil said

What.....it does? Aarvi asked

You're making it really freaking hard to keep my hands off you. You are making me want to kiss you, want to touch you,....to claim you and make you mine. Darshil said

Aarvi laughs

Darshil furrowed his brow in slight annoyance as she laughed, thinking he was kidding. He let out another frustrated groan at her reaction before suddenly shifting his body and moving on top of her in a flash. He was now straddling her hips, pinning her down underneath him.

Why are you laughing, Hazel? Do you think I'm kidding? Darshil spoke in an authoritative, dominant tone.

Aarvi's heart was beating heavily as she looked into his eyes but then she grins again.

Because..... You can't do anything, doesn't matter how much I tease you..... You're under your commitment. Aarvi said and giggled.

Darshil froze when she giggled again, his words of protest dying in his throat at the adorable sound of her laughter. He leaned down, his body now completely covering hers.

Is that so? Is that really what you think, Hazel? You really think I can't do whatever I want to you, huh? You don't think I can break that commitment if I really wanted to? Darshil said in a possessive tone.

Aarvi looks deep into his eyes and tilts her head getting lost in his eyes and his closeness and then she leans beside his ear.

Yes..... Because you claim to love me. Aarvi whispers

Darahil felt a pang of guilt in his chest at your words, because deep down, he knew that you were right. He did love you, more than anything in the world, and he couldn't bear the thought of hurting you. He let out a defeated sigh.

Damn it...... why do you have to be right about that...? Now please stop teasing me. You are driving me crazy. Darshil said and moved back and sat beside her.

No...... If you want me to stop..... Then y... you h... have to do.... s...Something. Aarvi said in a bit shaky tone while pressing a finger on Darshil's chest.

Do something? And what exactly have I to do? Darshil asked looking at her figure.

Aarvi's eyes narrowed and she made a suspicious look.

Situps..... Aarvi said

Darshil raised an eyebrow at her request, a bit surprised by it. He wasn't expecting her to ask him to do sit-ups. He stared down at her for a few moments.

Sit-ups? You want me to do sit-ups? That's what it's gonna take to get you to stop? And how many? Darshil asked

100 are fine..... That's your punishment for annoying me, irritating me and hurting me till now. Start now..... Quickly. Aarvi said

Fine..... I am going to start but you just lie down there and don't move, got it? Darshil said

Okay..... Aarvi said with a baby like face and innocent smile

Darshil couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat at that adorable baby face smile of hers, his body aching to touch her, to kiss her. But he held back his urges and quickly got off the bed and stood up beside the bed.

He took a deep breath and then got into position for the first sit up. He started doing the sit-ups, doing them at a steady pace. He counted out loud as he did them, watching Aarvi the whole time, making sure she wasn't moving anywhere and feels happy at her smile.

Now say sorry..... And promise you won't tease me again. Aarvi said showing him her index finger.

Darshil continued doing the sit-ups, counting out loud as he did them. He was starting to break a slight sweat from the exercise, but he pushed through it as he spoke between breaths.

I'm... sorry, my Hazel. I'm sorry for teasing you... and for hurting you. I promise I won't do it again. There, Hazel. I said it. Are you satisfied now? Darshil said

Yes.... Now you can sleep. Aarvi said with a smile and lay down.

She fell asleep in a minute of time.

Darshil watched as she suddenly fell asleep, a small smile forming on his lips at the sight of her dozing off. He finished the last few sit-ups and then got up from the floor, his muscles slightly aching from the workout. He walked back over to the bed and gently pulled the covers over her body, tucking her in and making sure she is comfortable.

He then changes into a comfortable nightwear and lays beside Aarvi on the bed.

He looks at her beautiful face for a longer moment of time and Aarvi smiles in her sleep, she looked so innocent, cute and adorable that Darshil smiles softly. He stared at her for a moment, fighting the urge to pull her closer and just hold her in his arms but he instead lets out a soft sigh.

Hazel,....you are killing me.... Darshil said.

Darshil stayed beside her, holding her hand as she drifted off to sleep. His mind was racing, trying to figure out why Aarvi is behaving this way. He was just thinking about the person who did this to her, making his expression serious.

Next morning, Darshil woke up, feeling tired but well-rested. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around, his heart immediately skipping a beat when he realized Aarvi was lying so close next to him, her body still asleep.

He turned his head to look at her, taking in the sight of her adorable face as she slept. He was tempted to reach out and touch her, to run his fingers through her hair and gently caress her cheek, but he restrained himself and just continued to watch her sleep.

Aarvi slowly wakes up and slowly opens her eyes and looks around and as she saw Darshil in front of her, she quickly sits up.

Ouchhh!!!!! Aarvi speaks out of pain and hold her head.

Darshil also sits up and looks at Aarvi.

Are you okay? I knew your head will ache. Darshil said

W.... What do you mean? Aarvi asked

Usually, when someone wakes up after intoxication, headache and nausea is common. Darshil said

Aarvi looks at her outfit and was surprised.

What am I wearing? This shirt? Aarvi asked

You don't even remember this also? When I returned from work, I saw you were in my shirt, which shocked me too. Darshil said

Aarvi was surprised, she then looks at her legs and felt releif to know that she was atleast wearing her trousers.

This trousers? Aarvi asked

Y.... Yeah, you were.... already wearing it. I didn't made you put on those. Darshil said

Aarvi holds her head and looks down.

O god, I can't remember anything about last night. What happened, what I did, how I put on your shirt? Aarvi said

Darshil smiled softly at her confusion, knowing that she didn't remember anything from the night before.

Well, let's just say you were acting a little differently than usual. You were... very affectionate, let's put it that way. Darshil said

Aarvi looked at him suspiciously.

And you? Did you do anythying rubbish to me? Aarvi asked

Darshil chuckled softly and shook his head.

No, Hazel, I didn't do anything to you, I promise. I could never take advantage of you like that. You were just so damn adorable, it was very hard to resist, but I did it. Instead you teased me a lot and also made me do 100 situps. Darshil said

Aarvi chuckles

Well that was a good thing. Aarvi mumbles but Darshil litsens to it.

What did you say? Darshil asked

Nothing.... I just said, I can't trust you. What if, you..... k-kissed me or?? Aarvi said and gasped

Darshil chuckled again and shook his head.

No, Hazel, I promise. I didn't kiss you, or touch you, or do anything like that. I swear. Believe me, if I had taken advantage of you when you were in that state last night, you would definitely remember it. It was very hard to hold back, but I did it. I couldn't do that to you, Hazel. I could never take advantage of you like that. Darshil said in a sincere tone.

O... Okay, I hope you're not lying. Aarvi said and held her head again.

Darshil could see the pain in her face as she massaged her head, and he felt a pang of pain in his chest too.

No, Hazel, I'm not lying. I would never lie to you, so don't worry. Here, stay here, Hazel. I'll go get you some medication for that headache, okay? Darshil said

Aarvi nods.

Yes please. Aarvi said

Darshil nodded and gently pushed her to lie back down again.

Just lie down, doll. I'll be right back. Darshil said

He then got up from the bed and quickly walked to the drawer to grab some medication for her headache. He came back in a few moments later with some painkillers and a glass of water, he then sat down on the bed next to her. He sat down on the bed next to Aarvi, holding the painkillers and a glass of water.

Here, hazel. You should take these painkillers. They'll help with that headache you've got. Here, have some of the water first. Darshil said as he handed her the painkillers and the glass of water.

Aarvi takes the painkiller and takes a sip from water. Darshil watches as she drink the water.

That's it, Hazel. Just keep drinking the water and let those painkillers kick in. It'll make that headache go away soon. Now lay down and rest. Darshil said

But how did this all happened? Aarvi asked

I was also trying to figure about it. I know you don't drink, so you must had eaten something that intoxicated you. Tell me, when you ate last? And what you had? Darshil asked

I.... I can't remember. Aarvi said.

Okay, take rest. Don't force yourself too much. Darshil said.

Aarvi lays down and closed her eyes.

Darshil walks towards the washroom but at the table, he saw the box of pastries, which he didn't notice since last night. He picks it up and opens it. There was still a chocolate pastry left in it. He looks back at Aarvi who already fell asleep. He tries to figure out about it and thinks about it.

Aarvi wakes up after an hour and then took a shower. She was standing in front of the mirror and combing her hair when Darshil arrived there.

How are you feeling now? Darshil asked

Better. Aarvi said and puts the comb down

I wanted to ask you about something. Darshil said

What is it? Aarvi asked

That box of pastry, you had them? Darshil asked pointing towards it.

Yes, I ate those pastries. Aarvi said

Where did you get them from? Darshil asked

Siya bought those for me. Aarvi said

Do you know where she got them from? Darshil asked

They were homemade. Aarvi said

Darshil immediately knew what was going on. His heart started racing as he continued speaking in a slightly strained tone.

Hazel, you remember, anything about those pastries? The taste or anything that was different? Darshil asked

No, they were just sweet and creamy. Aarvi said

Darshil let out a soft sigh as Aarvi described the taste, his suspicion confirmed. He knew exactly what those pastries were, and exactly what they were spiked with.

Hazel, I need you to listen to me very carefully, alright? Do you remember how many of those pastries you ate? Darshil asked

3 of them. Aarvi said

Darshil cursed under his breath as she said that. Three pastries were more than enough to make anyone lose control. Darshil mumbles

Did you say anything? What are you trying to say Darshil? Aarvi asked

Nothing, just don't eat anything from other people. Darshil said

What do you mean by other people? She is my sister. Aarvi said

Darshil felt a wave of anger and guilt wash over him as she defended Siya.

Do you have any idea what was in those pastries your sister gave you? Darshil asked

W... What? Aarvi asked

Darshil couldn't sugarcoat it anymore, he had to tell her the truth, even if it meant to hurt her a bit.

Hazel.....those pastries that your sister gave you...they were spiked with a powerful drug. That's why you were acting so weird last night, that's why you don't remember anything, and that's why you woke up with that headache. Darshil said making Aarvi shocked and surprised.
