"What the hell is wrong with you, bro?" Sid asked as we walked out.

"They just kept treating me like a baby. It's just a fever, man! Plus, my company needs me right now. I don't want to burden my dad with everything. I just want to make things right at the company. I kept telling them that I was fine, but they didn't listen," I defended my actions.

"But this is not the way to treat Red. She was trying to help you. If you had stopped working for a few hours, the company wouldn't have gone up in flames, you asshole!" Sid tried to reason with me as we settled into bean bags on the balcony.

"I know you're a workaholic, but I don't want you to end up alone like my dad did. My mom left him after my sister's wedding because he never had time for my mom, for us. He just loved his work. He was blinded by it. He kept saying he was doing it for the family, but little did he know, his family never needed his business to be on top, they needed him," Sid shared, his voice tinged with sadness.

We sat in silence for a few moments, the weight of his words sinking in.

"You know she was scared to lose control, and that's exactly how you made her feel. So, congratulations, Ruhan, you're doing a shit job," Suhani stormed towards me and shoved a plate into my chest.

"She asked me to give this to you, and my dear husband, your job is to make sure he finishes it all and then give him his medicine," Suhani added, her tone laced with sarcasm.

"Yes, boss," Sid chuckled.

"It's not funny, Sid. Stop laughing. How is she?" I shot a stern look at Sid before turning to Suhani.

"She's fine now," Suhani replied, rolling her eyes.

I felt a wave of heat envelop me, my body throbbing with exhaustion as the fever coursed through me after I finished my lunch and took my medicine.

 "I'm going to sleep now," I declared, making my way to my room. 

I peeled off my t-shirt, tossing it into the laundry basket as I went.

Entering the room, I collided with Khushi, causing her to lose her balance. At that moment, she accidentally put pressure on her injured right foot.

"Ahh," she hissed, pain flashing across her face. She instinctively reached out, grabbing my shoulders to stabilize herself, her fingers digging into my bare skin as she fought to regain her balance.

I saw a tear rolling down her cheek. I locked the room and gently turned her around facing her away from me.

I slided my hands under her shirt grabbing her waist with my both hands.

" I am sorry", I whispered in her ears and bit her earlobe.

" Ruhan ... stop this and let me go", she warned trying to let go of my grip.

I pulled her closer gently. " I really am sorry to make you feel like you had no power over me", I said as I bit her neck and licked it.

My moments were swift and unimaginable. She was frozen from my touch.

I removed my hands from her shirt and unbuttoned it entirely exposing her bra. I held her chin and turned her face towards me.

" You drive me crazy little one", I whispered in my ears, caressing her lips with my thumb. I could feel her warm breaths on my hands.

I slowly moved my thumb from her lips to her throat and then to her stomach through her cleavage.

" D-Don't.. You ... You should rest", she said with quick breaths stopping my hands from moving down any further.

I held her small waist with my hands again and started moving my hands up until I felt her ribs.

" You want me to go higher", I teased her biting her earlobe again. She was spiraling, my touch sending electricity to her body.

" Tell me ", I teased her again unclasping her bra and moving my hands on her back.

" Ahhh Ru-Ruhan, my feet", she said trembling upon my touch.

I didn't want to cause her pain so I lifted her and took a seat on the couch behind us in our room, resting her on my lap without moving my hands.

Without any warning, I moved my both hands up gently brushing my fingers against her hard nipples.

"Ru-Ruhannn", she moaned throwing herself on my chest.

" You have fever please.... ahhhh...", she moaned louder as I pinched her nipples to shut her up burying her head inside my neck.

" You have... no idea how much control you have... over me", I whispered again with deep breaths and pinched and played with her nipples again.

The way she kept calling my name, I was already hard for her. I adjusted her a little placing her right above my length.

She held on to my biceps as soon as she realized what I was gonna do to her.

" Please stop...You're...burning...up.. ahhhh", she moaned again but tried to cover her mouth with her hand as this time I pinched her nipples and moved her against me at the same time making her go crazy.

I did it again," Tell me do you accept this apology? ", I whispered against her ears.

She was going crazy with my touch. I don't think she even had any stamina to answer my question.

I could feel the vibrations of her muffled moans under my neck.

I did it again and again until she finally felt waves of pleasure all over her body and she finally surrendered to me, weighing her body on my chest completely.

" Stop this.... a-and talk to me", she barely managed to whisper. She was in no condition to utter a single word.

I removed my arms from her shirt, clasped her bra, and buttoned her shirt. I let her stabilize in my arms holding her and placing kisses on her forehead.

" I am sorry I acted like a piece of shit"

"Ruhan please go take rest", she tried to get up.

" Please don't go. I want to see your feet first", I begged her holding her wrists.

" I swear I am fine Ruhan just take rest please", she said frustrated.

This time I didn't protest because, from that moment, I will never let her feel that she didn't have control over me.

I got up from the couch and laid on the bed. She covered me with a blanket and left the room hopping on one foot.
