Chapter 38 - Untouched
Tara Lane completely forgot she had a reason behind getting along with Dax Grant. Clouded by lust rejoicing in the pleasure, her mind hardly could think anything other than moaning and cursing in euphoria.
Sitting back on the bed, Dax glanced at her and took his mobile to respond to the message he had received earlier.
[She doesn't know anything that happened three years back but the interesting thing is Leon Harmon isn't touching any girl from three years.]
He had just deleted the chat history, Shawn's message popped up.
[Something's fishy. See me at night.]
Dax didn't reply. He saw Tara still reminiscing in the pleasure. When he encountered Tara repeatedly, he soon got to know Leon Harmon is aiming for the Skylar International. Due to Aarvi, he and Shawn had a lot of information about them so he didn't fall for their ploy instead he played along to get the information out.
He and Shawn were really surprised to see her patiently taking a step by step. They thought Aarvi could use her if she gets to know but they again changed the plan. Whenever he went out with Tara, he always made sure to be safe from the dirty tricks.
Dax quickly put on a happy face when she turned to him, "Are you tired, Babe?"
Tara's face was red due to intense activity but she smiled seductively after glancing at his lower body. Dax was no saint but if anybody tried to take advantage of him, he would always grab the larger end leaving them the edge of the stick. He was well versed in business.
He pulled the bedside drawer to see Johnny sitting over and realized she was prepared for a few days. Seeing her getting near his face to kiss his lips, he pinned her on the bed to keep her away.
For him, she just belonged to his lower body.

At penthouse
Aarvi was laughing seeing Tia and Shawn. In the scare, Tia had tossed all the popcorn and it fell on Shawn's head bathing him in the salty buttered popcorn.
Shawn grunted seeing her laugh at his state, "How dare you cuddle my bro? Get off."
Aarvi then realized she had moved closer to Aaron and her shoulder was leaning on him while his hand was behind her on the couch. They looked intimate like a romantic couple but she jerked aside and apologized plainly, "I'm sorry."
Shawn: "..."
'Miss Evans, don't you know to blush and sit awkwardly? And you tell yourself a girl. Ugh.'
Aaron didn't react other than humming. When Shawn went to wash up his hair, Aarvi and Tia cleaned under Aaron's watchful eyes which were making Tia nervous.
Aaron was thinking he hadn't taken Aarvi out even once and never watched a movie. He only took her to the office and hospital if not home.
...
Aaron and Aarvi took care of their urgent office work while Shawn and Tia created a mess in the kitchen for dinner.
In the quiet penthouse, all heard a loud pitch voice suddenly, "Little Heart!"
Panicked, Aarvi shot towards the kitchen followed by Aaron. Shawn pointed to Tia and said, "She is calling me brother."
Aaron: "..." historical
Aarvi asked directly, "Do you want to date her?" She didn't want Tia to misunderstand his overacting.
Tia was flustered while Shawn was flabbergasted.
When he was working as a DJ, he was easily getting date nights and Aarvi used to choose between many for him. Hearing her talking about dating, he understood her warning not to mess with Tia if he isn't serious.
His voice sounded decisive, "Tia, call me Brother Shawn from today. You are like my little sister." He patted her head and snorted at Aarvi.
"Good!" Aarvi looked at Tia, "Tia, ask your gift on your first day of being his sister."
Tia had calmed down hearing Shawn. She smiled at Aarvi asking curiously, "Really?"
Aaron returned back to the living hall while Shawn took out an imported chocolate box and handed her leaving Aarvi jealous. "uhh! That's mine."
Shawn snickered at her provokingly. Pouting, Aarvi went out while Tia was on the moon finishing chocolate after chocolate until Shawn threatened.
Even though Tia doesn't know how Aarvi and brothers are related, she never dared to keep unrealistic dreams and she preferred to stay away from rich people so she was happy hearing as a sister.
After dinner, Shawn forced everyone to another romantic movie but before it could end, girls were sleeping peacefully.
Shawn helped his new sister to the room ordering his brother as "Take care of your Cupcake." Aaron was carrying Aarvi to her penthouse when Dax entered Shawn's penthouse.
Aaron didn't take Aarvi to the bedroom, instead, he chose the couch near the fire section to keep her warm.
In another penthouse, Dax was surprised seeing Shawn carefully taking care of a girl. "I'm impressed."
Shawn introduced, "Dax, meet my new little sister Tia."
Dax was amazed, "I'm surprised." He tried to count the number of flings and One nightstand Shawn had in the country U but failed, "Did you perhaps hit your head?... Ummm... Dum Dum?"
Dax chuckled following him to the living hall. Shawn asked after settling on the couch, "So how is Tara Lane?"
Dax revealed what he got to know, "She was in a physical relationship with Leon Harmon from bloody seven years right after her sister got married. How can she do that to her own sister? Wealthy, affluent family my ****."
Shawn was offended immediately, "Don't dare to add Rivas to it. We are clean."
Dax rolled his eyes, "Except you. And what about your brother?"
Shawn didn't care to respond. He wasn't in a relationship with anyone and he hadn't promised anybody, so according to him, he was clean. And his idiotic brother was in love with his cupcake that he never cared about anything else.
Shawn returned to the topic, "Then what can be the connection between Harmon and Little heart?"
Dax was giving it a thought but his eyes widened and asked, "Was she molested?"
Shawn shook his head without agitation. "Looking at her brutal state, everyone thought she was molested, abused, and shot to death but she is untouched. I have seen her reports."
Dax breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't have any objection to Aarvi's choices but they wouldn't tolerate it if she was forced against her will.
Both didn't get a clue about how they could be connected.
Dax sighed, "I'm dumping that clown. She is just a toy of Leon Harmon."
Shawn chuckled and asked, "How is she on the bed? A dead body or a molten lava?"
Dax lip's twitched hearing him start gossiping. "She is a horny b*tch. She doesn't let me sit peacefully for five minutes other than on the toilet seat."
Shawn burst into laughter hearing him and seeing his comical irritated face.
