At Morris Hotel,

Aarvi got a message from Nikun right after the call ended. She expected James to continue digging her past. She knew the only way out for Leon was proving her as she was having a fake identity and she was ghosting them.

She will let them think she was ghosting them, playing with the department whereas Aarvi Evans was her real identity now. If they manage to pull off and prove she was Ava Kelly, then it was easy destruction of Leon, not hers. Meantime, she would make sure to peel the mask of James Crawford who proves the criminal as innocent, because those criminals are his clients.

If there is one person who could save criminals, then there is no way to kill a criminal by the hands of law and the crimes would never stop.

She was happy that James Crawford wasn't her lawyer. She didn't want a criminal lawyer who is a culprit for staying silent against the crime.

Although she had expected to see her past brewing up, she truly didn't want to associate with her past. She wanted to move ahead without the burden of the past.

She was keeping her mobile away when it beeped. It was a message from her husband. It was a picture of his lunch in a client meeting of Rivas Industries. He was silently asking her to eat her lunch without fretting over Palmer's nonsense. Looking at the chicken steak and delicious red wine in the flute, she craved for a taste of wine, not from the flute.

She typed a message, [I need a kiss.] Her pursed lips tugged to a rare mischievous curve clicking on the send button.

"Hmmm.. Tempting your husband." Dax's teasing voice sounded next to her. He didn't mean to peek into her phone, he was serving her plate and caught the sight.

Aarvi bit her lip, craving to stomp her friend's feet. "Brazen!" She muttered, turning the screen off and keeping the mobile away on the table.

Dax chuckled, hearing her. He could make out the little pink on her cheeks while she sat as if she did nothing, "Dumdum, do you know? If you are caught being shameless, you call others shameless." He pointed it out in a low voice and chuckled looking at her speechless, shaking his head in resignation.

She had heard it from Aaron too, so she elbowed him to eat and tried to focus on eating. However, her attention was on her mobile thinking why Aaron didn't respond to her message. 'Must be busy with the clients.' She thought. Even for a short time, Aaron had taken her mind away from company work and other headaches.historical

It wasn't even fifteen minutes, her mobile went off. Looking at 'Ronron' on the screen, she was surprised he completed his lunch so quickly. "Excuse me." She excused herself pointing to her mobile. She waited for none's response and walked out of the private room of the restaurant. She answered the call while pulling the door to close, "Hel.."

She was suddenly yanked to the opposite private room. Before she could absorb the situation as any danger, the door was shut, she was pinned to the wall and a pair of thin soft lips pressed on her forehead soothing her nerves.

She breathed the held breath, calmed her raised heartbeats, and her shoulders relaxed, leaning herself on the wall. She didn't have to open her eyes to know who he was. 'Did he come for a kiss!?' Her lips slowly curled up.

'How naive!' She hadn't thought Aaron would actually ignore his client just to give her a kiss.

A kiss!

Aaron would have called her naive if he could hear her thoughts. He watched her lips curl to a blissful smile for his arrival and her eyes still closed without a hint of fear. The next second, she felt his hand cup the back of her head while the other hand stayed on her waist pressing her against the wall. Aarvi's petite face was showered with gentle kisses without leaving an inch unattended.

Aarvi again held her breath to feel his lips tenderly moving on her smooth skin, "Ronron.." She whispered, her hands making way to hold him, perhaps pull him closer.

Aaron suddenly paused at her call, waited for her to open her eyes while her face was all pink and the smile did not leave her lips. Today was Sunday, the day he expected to spend time together, doing nothing or anything. So he was indeed missing her sitting in a stupid lunch meeting with a client. After her message, he got a reason to leave the meeting for Shawn. He had said, 'it's an emergency, my wife needs me.'

Shawn was instantly worried about Aarvi but Aaron gave him a silent meaningful look and the smart younger brother understood he didn't need a response filled with a display of their affection. So Aaron appeared at the Morris hotel without taking a bite of his lunch.

Meanwhile, Roach and Alex looked at each other. Sometimes, they genuinely feel like they are looking after the two spoiled teens. Sometimes? No, nowadays, it's almost every alternate day. Both saw a waiter going into the lobby. Unwillingly, they had to stand by the door of the room.

Inside the room, Aarvi missed Aaron more as soon as he stopped. Opening her eyes to the gorgeous face of her husband, she caught his greedy eyes, staring into her eyes and her lips.

Aaron justified his actions with a straight face, "Cupcake! you didn't mention where you needed the kiss." He didn't let her react and captured her lips.

Aarvi's eyes were wide for a second to fathom what he just said. Who cares, she gave in to the tempting lips that were nibbling and sucking her lips, tenderly yet making her irresistible to control.

She neither cared if anybody else was inside the room they were in nor the mobile in her hand that slipped to the carpet floor. Shifting her hands on his shoulder, she reciprocated, while he pulled her close enough to feel no air between.

Her lips involuntarily separated, inviting and tempting his slithery tongue to her mouth. As if waiting for it, he captured her warm mouth and tasted the hint of spices. He tugged her escaping tongue earning a sweet moan against his lips.

It felt like an eternity when he released her after knocking the air out of her and reducing her to a puddle of water in his arms. He was adjusting his hands when she clutched his shirt tight, "Wait.."

Stealing some more kisses, he suddenly heard her ask, once she calmed her crazy heart and her nerves, which wanted to eat him, right there. "You didn't have lunch, Ronron."

She tried to tug him outside but he pulled her to his arms. She would be embarrassed if she entered the private room with a flushed face. He humored brushing his fingers on her cheek, "I will eat you."

Aarvi swallowed hard thinking of doing it in the hotel's private room. It actually excited her. She snapped back seeing his silly smirk and punched him. "I am talking about food... And, my day is packed, Ronron." She pouted pitifully.

Catherine was finding it hard to manage the Dawson company. She was panicked in the shareholders' meeting that she almost verbally agreed to sell her company. If not her assistant stopped her in time, Dawson company would have been acquired by another company.

So Catherine didn't attend the Harmon Industries meeting which made Aarvi change some plans. Catherine was nervous as hell, afraid of losing everything.. So Aarvi has to drop by the Dawson mansion.
