I opened my mouth to argue some more, but his lips were so close that I could practically taste them, and I wondered why I wasting time fighting with him when I could just kiss him.
So I did.
I leaned forward and laid a ghost of a kiss on him. Very soft and quick. His breath hitched and his pupils dilated as he leaned back.
“What are you doing?”
I rolled my eyes.
“If you have to ask, I’m clearly not doing it right,” I replied, and this time, I pressed my lips against his firmly.
For a few seconds, he stood there frozen and I was about to draw away when Dr Bossy Pants took charge of the kiss. He pulled me into his arms and proceeded to kiss me senseless until I was breathless with desire. I wrapped my arms around him and matched him kiss for kiss.
Somewhere between plundering my mouth with his tongue and running his hand down to my butt, Aryan sat down on the side of the bed and tried to pull me onto his lap.
I yelped in pain against his mouth as my foot protested.
“Oh, God! I’m such a monster. Sorry, Jess,” he said, sounding aghast.
“It’s just a sprain, Aryan. As long as we don’t jolt my foot, I’ll be fine,” I replied breathlessly, eager to get back to business.
He ran a hand over his face and took a deep breath.
“What the hell are we doing, Jessie?”
I felt slightly insulted by the question.
“Isn’t it fairly obvious? We’re making out,” I bit out.
“But why? Why are we doing this now? We decided not to go down this road, remember?”
I threw myself against my pillows and sighed heavily.
“Aryan, no matter which way we go, we’re always going to find ourselves back on this road.”
He stared at me doubtfully.
“Because we’re going around in circles.”
“No, you idiot! It’s because we’re insanely attracted to each other, and that’s not going away anytime soon.”

ARYAN
She was right. Their desire for each other wasn’t going anywhere. But neither were their differences.
Besides, Jessie was injured. He had no business taking advantage of her right now.
“Stop it,” she barked.
Aryan wondered if she’d hurt her head as well as her ankle.
“Stop what?”
“Stop thinking!”
And she proceeded to short-circuit his brain by crawling onto his lap.
