Rudra's pov.

Saying no to my mother is hard because she has this person I call my father. And he doesn't get off my back until I say yes to her demands which is how I ended up postponing all of my important meetings for the day.

I left with shreyansh once everything was over to sign some important papers. It was way past midnight when I was finally done.

I drive back home at around two in the morning and find the house quiet as expected.

I walk to the stairs and pause when my eyes fall on Naina at the dining table, sleeping with her head on the table. Don't tell me she waiting for me or something.

I walk over to the dining table and find her in another one of her flimsy nightgowns that makes it hard for me to ignore her. She has been a constant thought at the back of my mind today. A distraction.

"Naina." I call her name but she is dead asleep. I rub my temple and wonder if I should leave her right here or carry her back upto the room.

I exhale harshly and keep my phone in my pocket. I gently pick her up in my arms in bridal style.

"Mhmm." She wraps her arms around my neck and nestles her face in the crook of my neck.

Fuck me.

I try to ignore the feel of her body against mine as I carry her upstairs. I shift her in my arms a little to open the bedroom door, once inside I kick the door shut with my leg.

I walk up to the bed and drop her on it not so very gently because it's hard to ignore her when her warm body is pressed against mine like that. I turn around and was about to leave when she clutched my hand in a tight hold.

"Rudra?" She says in her hoarse sleepy tone.

"What?" I turn around and ask in a snappy tone. I shouldn't loose my cool around her. It's not good.

Control. Your. Emotions

My grandfather's strict voice rings in my ears. I tried to squash his voice in my head a long time ago but it keeps coming up every now and then.

Naina sits up on the bed and turn the lights on. Her nightgown rides up to her upper thighs, leaving her legs fucking bare.

I curl my fingers in a fist and try to control myself and take my mind off her naked legs.

Naina quickly realises her state and covers her legs by pushing her nightgown down. Her cheeks are covered with a light pink hue matching her nightgown. She tucks a hair strand behind her ear and looks up at me.

"I want to talk to you about something." She saye meekly. She is anything but meek so I don't know how true her words are.

"About what?" I ask raising my eyebrow.

"I want to go out tomorrow to meet radhika." She says.

"No." I say point blank. Her mouth hangs open.

When she didn't say anything else I turn around and start walking to the closet.

I hear her rustling out of the bed and her anklets jingling as she follows me. More like stomps behind me like a child. And did I mention how much I like listening to the sounds her anklets make?

"What the hell do you mean by no?" She says from the entrance of the closet. "You can't keep me caged in this house forever."

"I can and I will." I say as I go through my side of the closet which has been minimised because of all her clothes, shoes, jewelleries and purse, they take more than half of the space. I added extra space and racks for her but even that was less for all the clothes she has.
