Bound By Love [Completed]

shot 6

Suddenly resteless and uncomfortable at the way he was looking at her ,Janani stood up

"You are trying to intimidate me"

His gaze grew even more intense

"Am I??" He asked lazily

"I will do everything that is reasonable, but I wont be intimidated and I won't grovel" She said firmly

"You won't??" He asked as he stalked closer like a predator

"I won't " she confirmed shakily her voice breathless.

"But the idea of you groveling at my knees is very appealing little one" Armaan said huskily

"The image of you giving me pleasure while you are doing it gives me a high...."

At first Janani couldn't believe he had just said that to her

Then she told herself he couldn't possibly have meant the sexual innuendo in it

Embarrassed and uncertain, a burst of color spread across her cheeks and she blinked at him

"Did you really just say what I thought you said??" She mumbled and stepped back from him and Armaan raised an eyebrow at the mortified look on her face

"I better check on Advi" she got the words out somehow and fled the room

Armaan laughed out loud.

It was fun riling her up

The rabbit caught in the head light look and the embarrassed colouring of her cheek made her look like a blushing teenager.

And he felt his heart beat picking up its pace.

Her innocence was such a turn on.

He paused

Innocence??

And Janani Trivedi

Those two words doesn't go in a single phrase

What the hell had gotten into him!!

He is losing his touch

To be sucked in by a wonderful actress.

He shook his head.

She is doing that to him.

The way she works her spell with men who should know better

The fluttering of eyelashes and blushing at will

The ultimate naive act

He is not going to fall for that.

If Janani Trivedi thinks she could trap him with the naive act ,she could very well think again

He walked furiously out of the room angry at Janani for doing this to him..angry at himself to be so susceptible to her charm.

Khanna informed him about Aadesh's emergency call and he immediately returned the call.

"Hello Maann"

"Is everything there alright Aadesh?? Is Ava alright??" Armaan asked tensed at why his brother said it was an emergency call.

"She is alright now" Aadesh said calmly

"Alright now?? What do you mean by now?? She wasnt alright before??" Armaan asked his tension escalating.

He is already wound up tight by Advaith's illness...and to know that Ava too is not well.

"Maan....do you know about Ava's nightmares??" Aadesh asked

Nightmares??

"What nightmares??" Armaan asked

"Last night ,I was on a call when I heard her screaming. I went into her room to see the nanny hovering around demanding Ava to shut up.When she saw me ,she did a wonderful act of trying to cuddle and comfort Ava." Aadesh said through clenched teeth

"How did it go??" Armaan asked

"She went into sleep a while later ,must be because of exhaustion, because it definitely wasn't because of comfort " Aadesh said

"Are you sure it had happened before?? The nightmares??" Armaan asked trying to control his anger at the nanny

"I did ask some of the staff.The housekeeper Anjana had once heard Ava screaming during an afternoon nap and the nanny claimed you are already aware of the nightmares and had asked her to take care of Ava" Aadesh said

"That b*tch" Armaan ground out

"I was tempted to kick her out ,but while awake Ava is only comfortable with her and I couldn't even do anything " Aadesh huffed out

"I will deal with it tonight " Armaan said

"Are you coming today?? Did you deal with everything related to Advaith" Aadesh asked

"Yes....I will be coming home with Advaith " he paused and added " and Janani"

"Janani?? What?? Why??" Janani asked unable to believe that Armaan would even think about bringing the woman who stole his son home.

"You will know when you see them" Armaan muttered before hanging up the phone

Armaan walked towards the room where Advaith is sleeping

He opened the door gently without making noise and was momentarily stunned by the sight in front of him

Advaith was sleeping on the bed

Janani was lying beside him ,propped up on her elbow looking down at his son with such a tenderness that he felt overwhelmed.

No one had looked at him like that

Definitely not his mother

Once he had craved for his mother to look at him like that

He is not that boy anymore ,he told himself fiercely

He doesn't want his mother to look at him like that anymore

He definitely doesn't want Janani to look at him like that

His movement must have alerted her ,for she stiffened and looked at him warily

The tenderness he saw a moment ago vanished and he felt a sense of loss.

Armaan mentally shook himself.

He is not a five year old little boy anymore

"We will be leaving to Mumbai today evening.I will ask Khanna to take you back.Be ready by five" He said and walked out without waiting for her response
