Aaron and Zain never tried to stop Aarvi in her plans before this. Keeping her thoughts away, she wanted to respect their opinion. She didn't need to be smug about her attack being successful. So she started thinking if she needs to put any changes to the plan.

Aarvi left Laze on the bed, exited the bedroom. She reached the gym where Aaron and Zain were speaking about avoiding any kind of stress on her. "I won't go." She announced standing by the door, "And I don't want to stress you guys either." She couldn't believe they were talking about stress on her.

Zain chuckled, seeing her happily accept their suggestion. Aaron cued her to get to them. His hand reached her face and gently massaged her temples with his thumb, "Then why are there frowns?"

Aarvi handed her mobile to him. Zain took a glance at the messages from the unsaved number.

Aarvi didn't want to keep thinking she was troubling Aaron or Zain. If she was, she wanted to apologize to them for it and let them know her intentions. She just wanted to accept her fight and deal with her problems without depending on anybody.

Shawn and Dax weren't strong and smart enough to handle Leon but these two. So she didn't want to have any unsolved bugging questions in her mind that would strain her relationship with them.

Zain bent to her height and looked her in the eyes. She didn't seem depressed by it, a little worry in her sparkling eyes under the light. "My little sister, sometimes you need to deal with your problem for your good. I never felt like being controlled by you. I wanted to help, support you because you had the courage and smartness to handle things on your own."

Both men knew after her hellish experience in life and the haunting nightmares, her only driving force to live was destroying Leon from the roots. If they had taken the reason away from her, she would be living like dead, feeling incapable. Hence they always wanted to help her, protect her. They were glad she was able to get numerous more reasons to live and accept life with open arms.

Aarvi hummed, happy for having a good rapport with her brother. Zain rubbed her head and stood straight.

Aarvi glanced at her husband who seemed to be.. mad at her. "Why are you.. Angry, Ronron?"

Aaron held her hand and strode out, "We will talk in the bedroom."

Zain stood speechless, taking the double meaning of Aaron's words.

"Ronron, what's wrong? Ronron... " Aarvi jogged next to Aaron and reached their bedroom. Her shoulders jerked when the door shut with a loud thud due to his kick.

Aarvi felt her back pressed against the wall as her gaze moved to the man who was controlling her every movement with just his hand.

Pinning her hand on the wall, his other hand shifted to her neck. Before she could grasp if he was angry or not, he captured her lips ravenously.

"Ron.." She tried to push him and speak. She wanted to ask what was going on in his mind. Her protest to break free made him thrust his tongue into her mouth, ransack her thoughts and slowly rob her senses.historical

She didn't even know when she stopped protesting. Despite his blazing kiss made her toes curl, his touch was too tender and soothing on her skin. She craved to pull him closer. She matched his fiery kisses forgetting their situation.

A moan left her lips when his leg moved hers and touched her inner thighs. He was getting good with his moves while all she did was succumb to his advances.

Letting her breath, his lips kissed and sucked her skin, moving to her jawline, hollow of her neck hearing her puffs. He left a mark on the milky flawless skin of her slender neck. Aarvi felt a shudder run down her spine when his sleek tongue brushed over the mark he left.

Aarvi whimpered in protest when he suddenly left her after wildly exciting her. The coldness that swept on her face woke her up, leaving her bewildered. She felt like a lustful wife when she should be worried about their safety and Dax.

Her eyes squinted at the man who had a sexy smirk on his face seeing her grumpy. Recalling he had left a mark, her finger clutched his collar and tugged him close to her, "Aaron Rivas, what have you done to me?" She wasn't like this before. She didn't even know her body could crave from him so much. She bit his lip, bruised them, and left a mark.

His large frame pressed her against the wall when her tongue tried to soothe her bite, tempting him for a kiss, and drew back without letting him capture her.

Aarvi left her when he was close to ripping her clothes. Aaron licked his lips, expecting some blood but was safe. Carrying her in his arms, he took her to the bathroom and helped her get into the bathtub.

He tied her hair up as he let her know his behavior, deep breathing to be in control, "My wife was a little too much influenced by somebody's message."

Aarvi relaxed in the hot water when she heard him. She remembered Leon and understood Aaron didn't like that she doubted torturing them due to Leon's message. It meant Leon achieved his goal of affecting her. It was good that she didn't keep things in her heart and spoke to them. So Aaron changed the influence of Leon's message on her with himself.

Aarvi flipped in the bathtub and tried to get close to his face, "Why do I love this influence, little too much?"

Aaron's lips arced temptingly hearing her. Aarvi was about to reach his lips, he brought her mobile between their lips, "Cupcake, handle any calls or messages needed. After a bath, you are going straight to bed."

Aarvi pouted as she took her mobile and snuck back into the water. "You have left a mark. My dear husband, please arrange a sleeping place for your brother-in-law."

Lifting her chin to look at him, "Are you sure you want me to go with these lips?"

Aarvi slapped his hand away as she smugly answered, "Yeah. Apply Pie will think I am top and you are bottom."

Aaron wanted to know who would think of him as bottom with just a little bruise. "Sure, my dear wife. You will be top from now on." He went inside the walk-in to fetch a blanket and pillows for Zain.

Aarvi thought about his words and blurted out, "Noooo... Too much work on top." Then her eyes widened hearing her words. She slapped her mouth and pretended to be invisible listening to Aaron's hearty chuckle.

He kissed her cheek while going out, "I love my little wife." He just loves how she speaks everything openly with him.

Instead of confessing it back, "Then may I doze off in the bathtub?" She asked for permission so that he doesn't need her tonight.

Aaron shook his head in resignation, "Sweetheart, you will do that even if I say no." He meant she could sleep.

Aarvi grinned as she took the mobile to cancel her plans. She ignored Leon's message to let him assume whatever he wants. She reached Dax's parents a second time to give a little brief that Dax wasn't in the car when the car met with an accident. So they don't have to worry or leave their place. She stressed them not to believe anything without her or Shawn's call. She and Shawn had spoken to the Rivas family so she locked her phone.

She thought about being with Dax as he might wake up in the night. Recalling there is Tia for him, she chose not to go.

By the time Aaron could complete his shower, Aarvi was peacefully asleep without bothering about the plans. They weren't going to be sleepless but Leon.

-----

At Harmon Mansion,

Leon received a few pictures and discerned Dax was the one who was treated in the mobile clinic bus. According to what his men were able to extract from other doctors, Leon concluded there was a minor surgery. Hence he understood why Aarvi didn't answer his call or message.

He dropped another message to her, [Today is Dax. Guess who will be next?] He needed to inflict the fear in her, but he was restless without her response. He couldn't discern why he was exactly uneasy just for a message.

Was it fear of her attack in silence?
