That makes him dangerous and attractive. And so, so wrong for me! For this is a guy whom I can\u2019t manipulate. I don\u2019t have the skills or guts for pulling something off like that. In fact, I am surprised that a guy like him, who can get any chick he wants, is bothering to offer a relationship to a waitress whom he considers a gold digger.<\/p>\n

Wait! Is he offering me a relationship? He didn\u2019t say that, did he? No, he accused me of seducing him, and now he is willing to pay the price for the exclusive rights to my body. \u201cYou believe you can buy me, Mr. Mizrahi?\u201d \u201cAaron.\u201d He corrects me. \u201cIf you are up for sale, then sure.\u201d \u201cWhat does that make you?\u201d I throw in the challenge. He advances on me. \u201cI don\u2019t have patience for such games, Preeti. Are you accepting my offer or not?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou haven\u2019t made one yet.\u201d \u201cYou\u2019d want my offer.\u201d He says confidently. \u201cI am offering you a chance to be my woman.\u201d The words are possessive and sound primitive coming from a man like him, and it is\u2026. well, my body is excited for the claim he is making on her. I\u2019m as sick as Aaron. I clear my throat. \u201cWhat would \u2026 being your woman mean?\u201d He doesn\u2019t have to think even for a moment before answering. \u201cBeing at my beck and call twenty-four seven.<\/p>\n

Be by my side whenever I need you, wherever I am, and in return, you will have me in your bed. I will take care of all your needs.\u201d \u201cShefu. I am not gonna get married to any daru ki dukandaar. If I am gonna put myself out there, it is gonna be for a rich guy.\u201d \u201cIf a rich guy picks you, it\u2019ll be just to make you a mistress. Trust me, you don\u2019t want that hassle in your life.\u201d \u201cI am not dumb. I am not gonna settle for anyone\u2019s mistress, only wife.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conversation I had with my best friend months ago rings in my ears. It seemed so long ago that I had brashly made that comment to Shefali. This is called the irony of fate, isn\u2019t it? I can feel he is waiting for my reply. But I can\u2019t. I can only stare dumbly at him. His mouth tightens. \u201cI am still giving you the chance to control this \u2026 deal.\u201d \u201cThis deal\u2026 huh?\u201d From somewhere, I find my voice. \u201cAnd why do you think I\u2019d need this deal?<\/p>\n

I have Puneet, who is offering me more.\u201d His brows furrow; he doesn\u2019t like that I dare to question his attraction. The thought that I have disconcerted him gives me a high. A fleeting one, because the next second he pricks my balloon.<\/p>\n
