Adrika sharp gasp echoed in the kitchen.the knife from her hand fell on the counter.blood came out from her finger and she suppressed her lips to ease the pain .

Before she could hide,aksath was already beside her.

"Let me see"his tone sharp but hidden care beside it.

She gulped her saliva while stepping back"n..no i am fine -

"Adrika"his dominant voice whispered in gritted tone.she timidly forward her hand towards him.blood was oozing from her middle and index finger as these two fingers was settled on carrot while cutting.

"You are fine,huh?"he asked coldly while glaring at her.

She lowered her head,not daring to look on those pair of eyes.

He sighed and guided her towards the sink,turning on the water with other hand.the stream ran cold and clear as he held her finger under it.his eyes focused on her finger,wiping the blood away.

She tried not to react ,for the pain,the fact that how close they are with each other.her shoulder brushing with his arm but she tried to steady herself.her eyes drifted to his face ,she can feel his warmth there..

His scent was a bold strike of cardamom and vanilla -spicy,sweet and impossible to ignore, ignites a fire within her.meeting with her jasmine and musk lingered scent.

"You are always in hurry, don't even know when to stop"he muttered, eyes still on the wound.

His voice was not scolding -it was laced with something quieter . something like concern ,he didn't want to hear.

He grabbed a clean napkin from the counter and wrapped around her finger,their face was too close,breath mingling with each other.he didn't notice and she didn't react.

Aksath left her hand.

Adrika sighed in relief as it was getting hard for her to breath after realising their closeness.it is nothing for him but for her-it is everything.

She moved toward counter again to finish her work.

"Seriously you are bleeding and still wants to finish the soup?"

Adrika scoffed,holding knife in her hand"because no one else will do this for me,that's why".

"Adrika"he warned sternly.

She ignored him,the moment her fingers touched the uncut carrot ,he stepped forward and snatched the knife from her hand.

Not gentle but carefully.

"Aksath ji,give me back"she exclaimed in gritted teeth.

"No".

"It is just a cut ,give me back".

"Exactly IT is and you want it to hospital visit".

"Give me back,I am saying you"

"And I will not give you"
