He made her turn, cupped her face and said.

"You look gorgeous. Absolutely stunning. And who said your body doesn't suit these dresses. Because I'm sure all the men downstairs will have a hard time averting their eyes from you. And I'll have a hard time keeping my hands to myself. So I make no promises."

She blushed at his words. It made her feel beautiful. It made her feel wanted.

"Now go and correct your makeup. Your liner is smudged and don't let that fool's words get to you."

He kissed her head and she left to correct her makeup. He didn't know what to feel. When he was with her, he felt like forgetting everything. But as soon as he was alone and thought about it, his brain won and he wanted what he sought. Revenge.

He didn't know which part to listen to.

Sia loved how he flaunted her at the party. Piyush and his girlfriend were fuming seeing her laugh and enjoy herself.

They were back to their rooms by 12. Vardhan walked her to her room and she turned to look at him.

"Thank you. I really enjoyed myself."

He smiled and kept looking at her. His brain shut itself down and his heart took over.

"Umm...I guess ...it's...umm...good night."

She muttered and turned around. She opened ber rolm door only to be stopped by a hand on her elbow. He made her face himself and said.

"That guy was wrong about another thing Sia. He was wrong that you're plain and boring and that no man would want you because you're not tempting. You don't even have to try. You're effortlessly tempting."

Why did he say that with that intense look in his eyes? And why was he eyeing her lips like that?

She gulped and he swallowed hard when she licked her lips.

"Fuck!"

He muttered before his lips came down on hers and he kissed her in a rough pace. Her eyes widened and she looked at him for a minute before closing her eyes and trying to mimic his actions.

He pushed her inside her room and shut the door behind him. Pinning her to the nearest wall, he kissed her deep. She moaned when he dug his teeth in her lower lip and bit softly.

He finally broke away when she pushed his chest. She took a huge breath and looked at him with a timid gaze. He dropped his forehead on hers and kissed her nose and forehead softly.

"Good night."

He muttered before walking out of her room lest he does something he regrets later. As soon as he entered his room he threw the first things he got hands on. Which happened to be his coat.

"What the fuck did you do Vardhan!? You're supposed to take revenge on her."

He clutched his hair and sat on the bed with a thud. An evil idea formed in his mind and he smirked.

"Even better now. The pain of betrayal will feel a lot now."

She too broke Armaan after kissing him, right? He'd do the same. So she feels the pain he felt.

Sia had blushed thinking about the kiss the entire night. It was her first kiss. And it was amazing. She was still too shy to face him the next morning. They were leaving back for India.

Vardhan was already in the lobby and was on a call. She stood beside him and waited for him to acknowledge her. Their luggage was at the reception already.

At first, he ignored her and she felt her mood fall. She lowered her head and was about to walk ahead when she felt a hand slip into hers and saw him intertwining their fingers together.

She looked at him and he placed a soft kiss on their joined hands. He liked seeing her blush. Which indicated that he was losing his senses because he was planning revenge on her.

Sia and Vardhan joined the office two days later. She was excited to see him. Their first day in office after their kiss.

She reached office and as usual he was already there.

"Good morning."

She greeted him with a soft red hue on her face. He looked at her for a fleeting moment and smiled, saying a greeting back.

She frowned at his uninterested conduct but waved the thought away. They were in the office. Maybe he didn't want people to notice.

Sia took her seat and Vardhan eyed her through the corner of his eyes. Her frowning expression gave him satisfaction and a doubt at the same time.

He was waiting for his plan to get into action. And it did. Just an hour before lunch, there was a knock on the cabin door and a head peeked in.

"There you are! Vardhan! Hi!"

Sia's eyes snapped up hearing an overexcited voice. A feminine voice. Vardhan smiled wide seeing the woman. She seemed of their age and very much into Vardhan.

"Hi Payal! Long time haan!"

"Tum busy itne ho. But finally haath lag gye. I couldn't believe myself when I received your call saying you wanted to meet."

Sia frowned. Was she some relative? No! It didn't seem like it. She was surely someone unrelated by blood.

"Well, I had some business to discuss with you. And I thought we'll also catch up."

Vardhan said making Payal bite her lip naughtily.

"Sounds like a plan. Let's meet for dinner tonight?"

"Dinner sounds good."

Vardhan said while looking at Sia through the corner of his eyes. With the way she glared at Payal, he knew his plan was working very well.

"Your place or mine?"

"Your place."

Sia felt her heart skip a beat. He was going to her place. For dinner. To catch up. Like Piyush did with Sameeksha.

"I'll see you at 8 then?"

Payal asked, clutching his arm and he nodded. He didn't like her touch but he had to pretend so he smiled at her. Sia felt sick in her stomach.

Payal left and Vardhan took his seat still not bothering to look at Sia.
