The Traps of Black Swan

Pinned against the wall, Aarvi watched her husband's stunning face and yearning gaze on her. He took a long route in his busy schedule and dropped by, just to have a look at her.

His wife never fails to surprise him every time and how smartly she gets adapted to the time and situation without a hint of panic or confusion.

His lips were about to claim hers but brushed over and landed at the corner of her lips. Aarvi sharply inhaled, onerously tilting her head away. Her brows quivered, controlling herself from giving in to the temptation, she never had thought it would be so difficult. Every inch of her skin was pricking for his touch.

She could feel they won't be able to stop if they started. And they were in Nikun's office and the door wasn't locked, "You- have… work, Aaron." She said breathily, feeling his heavy breath fanning her cheek.

She wanted to create physical distance but her hands were pinned to the wall under his firm grip. So she could only wait for him to let go of her.

Aaron breathed deep to calm himself. He couldn't believe he was losing his control against his carnal desires. He could only curse Leon Harmon who succeeded in his plan.

He left her hand as he shifted to cup her head and planted his lips on her forehead, eventually calming both of them. He heard her mumble leaning on him, "I want to beat the crap out of him." 'Him' is Leon Harmon.

He chuckled, he was happy she was right there, next to him even if he can't make love to her. Pulling her away, he took her to sit on the couch as he asked, "Tell me something, did you come here to piss off Leon Harmon?"

Aarvi knew if she said yes he was going to sulk all day. So instead of directly saying she was there for him, she shrugged her shoulders as she sat down, "I had no plans to reveal my presence here. So what do you think?"  she smirked, popping her eyebrow at him.

Aaron again had to control himself from grabbing her closer and kissing all the sense out of her. This was torture.

He thought to change the topic and pinched her cheeks, "My Queen solved half of my problems." So should he take out his time for her?

Aarvi tried to read between his lines before asking, "But, I didn't speak for you." She didn't once take the Rivas name when she was being recorded live.

Aaron nodded at her words and let her know what he meant, "Your video went viral so the pressure on the administration lowered. They extended the time for the investigation. Since it hasn't been a week since we obtained the clearance certificate for safety, they have no reason to stop the production." The Rivas Industries could manage the loss of a day and a night easily.

Aaron had expected to argue with the local and central department executives for hours. Everything was solved once her video went viral, the unblocks were removed from the roads. Now the city was going back to its routine.

Aaron couldn't believe she took the whole city under control in no time. And the Rivas stock price was slowly steadying from the sharp drop, everything would be fine once the investigation reports came out and he would have to give a valid compensation to the families.

Aarvi had offered him direct help to solve the problem quickly together but he had turned it down. She was glad she could be of some help and saved an hour or two of Aaron to focus on the main problem.

Aarvi sheepishly grinned and extended her hand at Aaron, "So where is my commission for saving your millions of money?"

Aaron clapped her hand as he smirked. "Sweetheart, you didn't take the Rivas name, remember?" So no money.

Aarvi was wordless for a second. She had thought he was going to say everything as hers or he was her commission to make her happy. But he didn't go as she imagined so she retorted childishly, "Who said one has to take your name to solve your problem? I created the butterfly effect."

Aaron let out a throaty chuckle hearing her shamelessly ask for 'him.' She would never help him in the shadows when it comes to business as it would show as she wasn't trusting his capabilities. Today's event was a pure coincidence.

Aarvi saw him hold her hand and in a split second when she was looking up to hear him, he pulled her to him. She didn't even realize how he turned her, she fell to his arms facing the ceiling.

Before she could digest the whole movement, his warm lips collided with her cold ones. Her mind wanted to stop him but her heart betrayed her mind, joining hands with her body.

Their kiss came out raw and intense once their lips grazed over each other. His muscular arms curled around her waist, supporting her back and his other hand cradled her head, angling perfectly to mold their lips.

Like a strong magnet pulling her close, she threw every rational thought and succumbed to the temptation. Caged in his arm, her slender fingers made way to his neck matching his passionate kiss.

Her heart raced in the rhythm of his kiss, coaxing shivers out of her with his palm running down her spine. Her little mewls were pressing his mind to stop when it was fueling his desire to claim her entirely.

Strenuously he parted from her lips and pressed their forehead, panting for some air. Aarvi felt him tremble faintly to have the control from spilling out of his hands when she had given up on it.

Looking at her in a daze and heavily hooded eyes, he planted soft pecks on her flushed face before making her sit. He heard her mumble slacking against his shoulder with his hand wrapped around her waist. "We will be our destruction."

Shaking his head in resignation, he asked to know her plans, "Where do you want to go on our honeymoon?"

Aarvi had no such plans. She never thought she should think of it. Now that she heard from Mehak and hearing Aaron ask, she understood he was leaving her to choose.

"Anywhere I choose?"

Aaron hummed.

Aarvi gave it a thought. She wanted to give him the hardest riddle as they had a week to decide.

Her forefinger pointed to the roof as she turned to him. "Above the clouds." Her mobile was ringing when she winked at him as she kissed his cheek.

Aaron: "..."

Seems like he needs to do a lot of research.

Aarvi saw it was a call from Shawn. She answered the call and put it on speaker for Aaron without leaving him aside.

"Little Heart… Will you tell us if we ask you something?" Shawn directly put up the request.

"Us?" Aarvi was curious about what he wanted to ask and who was there around him.

Megan spoke, "GiggleMug, I am confused about Jose Kelly. He behaves like a good, weak man but his intention doesn't seem right."

Not just Megan, even Jordan, and Connor were also thinking the same. They left Jose unharmed because they couldn't understand Jose's personality well. They didn't know Zain took care of Jose.

Jordan interjected before Aarvi could say anything, "Aarvi, it's alright, if you don't want to speak about him. This mother and son…" They heard a smacking sound before Jordan continued, "... couldn't hold back and called you up."
