Possessive Boss: Part- 1

Dedicated to my sweet sister @ArShi_Angel

"Sir here's the file you've asked. DK company delegates are waiting for you in the conference room ASR." Khushi, his secretary informed about the recent updates, handing him a file.

ASR ordered not lifting his head from his laptop, "Ok. Send Rita to the conference room and hand over the project file to her.”

“But sir… Rita is not the head of this project.” Khushi uttered in total confusion. In fact, it was she, who’s looking after this project additional to her secretarial duties hoping to gain more knowledge and probably an appraisal. Oblivious of her compatibility and understanding level with her boss with whom she could fathom his next set of actions and intentions even before he voices out, she failed to grasp the reason behind his denial this time.

He closed the laptop with a thud, and looked straight into her eyes, "Who's the boss here Miss Gupta?"

"Yo...u."

"Good then, so already you know who has the authority to order and question whom?" Khushi stood tongue-tied and lowered head in disappointment. She thought she can convince him using his soft corner for her but he seems to be in denial today, "Sorry sir. I'll send her."

With a fallen face, she went to Rita cubicle and passed the project files as her boss ordered.

"I am not dreaming right?" Rita squealed not believing her luck. Soon her excitement died on her throat as the realisation struck her. It's not easy to carry on and present someone project like hers. And she very well knows, this type of last-minute adjustments are so common in this corporate. If one wants to climb up and reach the sky, one need not shed blood or sweat but to dive across this vast area with an acute brain.

Khushi who has seen Rita's pale face came forward without any jealousy, "Rita, there's nothing to worry. You already know the content and don't forget we all worked as a team. Take a deep breath and carry on with the project. Success is yours."

Rita somewhat convinced and hurried towards the conference room, going through the content on the way. Khushi pouted her lips sadly and looked down at her decked up form. She took an extra few minutes today to get ready with her formal white shirt and black trousers and black pumps which she usually avoids. All went vain. Cursing her boss, she settled herself in her cabin. When her fingers are ready to give a speed dial to her mom, she came in vision with that thing. Gasping she took hold of it & scolded herself for daydreaming about that chocolate brown eyes losing concentration on important things. She immediately ran towards the conference room, crossing her boss cabin who find that particular moment to come out of his cabin to head out to the conference room.

"What the hell?" He uttered in confusion seeing his secretary running crazily across the corridor.

Forcing his long legs forward to walk speedily, he's late on catching her. She has already entered the conference room and handed a pen drive to Rita.

A sudden wave of detest rushed through his veins as he saw the two things which he abhors at the very first sight. One is the hug shared between friends and another is Daksh.

"Oh god thank you so much, Khushi. For a moment I was blank when I didn't find the pen drive." Rita exclaimed and shared a friendly hug with Khushi who accepts her warmth and patted her back gently.

“Hey Khush. How’re you?”

Khushi turned back with a smile hearing a known voice. She gives her flown fledged smile at the person and stretched her hand out formally, “I’m great Daksh.”

Daksh grasped her palm and patted her shoulder softly, “I don’t know how you’re doing great being ASR secretary. I heard you hold the world record for being ASR secretary for the longest period.”

Khushi playfully hit his arm and chuckles softly, “What you have to do with my boss?”

“I don’t but he has something against me. Leave it, why aren’t you joining in my firm? I’m asking no… no... pleading you from past two years but you’re not budging.”

ASR stormed inside the conference room and glared at these two. If his eyes have the power to produce fire, then these both would’ve turned ashes by now.

“It’s not your get together party Mr Daksh. It’s my office.” ASR spewed the words throwing raged looks at Khushi.

Khushi lowered her eyes guiltily for carrying away with her friend, Daksh forgetting her office hours, “Sorry sir.”

ASR heart melted down like butter on heat seeing her cascaded face, “You may leave now Khushi.” He said softly forgetting the third occupant between them who finally jumped in joy finding the reason behind ASR loathe.

“Why ASR? I heard she is the project leader.” Daksh intervened, determined to tease ASR a bit.

“Do I need to remind you again and again? This is my office, Mr Daksh.”

“We’re partner in this project ASR. You’ve to obey our legal conditions. I’ve invested in this project.” Daksh also didn’t back down. Two men stood glaring each other at the entrance of the conference room leaving Khushi perturbed.

Khushi pleaded through her eyes to Daksh which he ignored royally feeling amused to see an angry ASR, Nah… Possessive ASR. They’ve been partners in this field for more than three years now. Never once he has seen anything other than anger and determination in ASR. But today… In fact not from today, from last year itself he has noticed how ASR weed out Khushi from his vicinity whenever he comes to AR office. First, he didn’t take it seriously thinking it’s work pressure. But eventually, he observed how Khushi absence depends on his arrival. Khushi being ASR secretary, her presence beside ASR is inevitable. However, ASR conducts their meetings without her always. That sow the seed of doubt on his mind and today, finally, he succeeded in finding the reason.

ASR breathed out in rage and badly wanted to punch that arguing man in front of him. He passed a stern glare towards Khushi as if accusing her of the situation and stormed inside the conference room.

Khushi bit her nails and looked at Daksh accusingly, “Seems like you’re eager to get me into your company that you paved way for my termination.”

Daksh winked in reply sprinkling salt on someone’s burning rage. Khushi gritted her teeth seeing Daksh casual reaction and controlled herself from showing any expression considering etiquette. She silently followed Daksh and took her seat beside ASR. Whereas Daksh settled himself opposite to them with his colleagues. As soon as the lights went off, Rita gave the introduction and Khushi took over in half way.

However Khushi's sole concentration lies on presenting the project and getting approved within this meet, she hadn't realised that the persons who have the authority to approve from both parties are not concentrating on anything other than each other.

Daksh sat straight showing all his teeth to Khushi, putting his whole concentration on capturing Khushi and even didn't fail to eye ASR through the corner of his eyes. Dim lights become his salvage but sadly it didn't protect him from the certain eagle eyes. ASR gritted his teeth and his closed fists get harden. His eyes turned bloodshot and his stiff jaws representing him as a lion who is waiting for his prey to get caught on his web. And his blood boiled seeing Daksh eyes following Khushi’s every action. Everything has a limit so as his patience and its started to deteriorate as he noticed Daksh trying to gain Khushi attention. And then comes the final nail in the coffin when Daksh pouts his lips.

“The meeting ends here. We’re no more interested in your partnership Mr Daksh. My lawyer will contact you for terminating the contract.” ASR cold authoritative voice boomed across the room sending shocks to the occupants.

Daksh raised his brow and sat calmly as if he waited for ASR to tell something like this.

“But ASR…” Khushi opened her mouth to say something when ASR showed his palm.

Daksh gestured his colleagues to move out who are stilled in their seat by the unexpected turn of events. Daksh stood up at last, “You’re not doing the right thing ASR.”

“I didn’t ask your opinion, Mr Daksh.” ASR reprimanded.

Daksh pressed his lips with raised brows. He looked ASR once and glanced at Khushi who’s also looking at him currently.

“Bye khush… See you soon… as my secretary.” Daksh added casually before winking at his friend Khushi.

Khushi pressed her fist, controlling her anger. She feels like tearing the project papers and throw it on the two men who behave weirdly today without any reason. Her three months effort gone waste just like that. She has taken this project voluntarily by pleading ASR. Only after her assurance of handling his works amidst of this project he has given her consent. She has worked double the load in these three months and he cancelled the whole partnership just like that, dropping the project without proper reason. And that Daksh! She doesn’t really know what happened to him that he gazed her constantly and tried to gain her attention in the mid of her presentation. And he’s not the person who occasionally winks at her and an attention seeker. He’s her good friend from their college days. He’s a protective kinda friend and she’s left with unease by his new avatar.

With the same frustration, she went towards ASR, “This is not done ASR. We’ve worked hard for this project and you cannot simply cancel it for personal reasons.”

Within a fraction of second, he grabbed her arms and pinned it behind her. Khushi eyes dilated in shock. Her heart skipped its beat seeing him so close to her for the first time. His hot breath is fanning on her plump cheeks and her front was touching his. Her heart took a hike and raced when the realisation struck her. They’re standing in the middle of the conference room ALONE.

“Si..r…” She stammered in shock and wriggled in his hold.

ASR eyed her meaningfully and dragged her with him. Do I need to say Khushi heart jumped to mouth? She feared people’s perception of them. It’s not everyday ASR grab his secretary hands and drag her with him to his personal den. But to her luck, none was present in the path.

Khushi spun around as he left her with a force. She breathed heavily catching up with reality. Meanwhile, ASR locked the door and put blinds saving them from the prey of the outer world.

He took measured steps towards her and Khushi backed seeing a new glint in his eyes. She couldn’t pinpoint what it is, but she’s sure she has never experienced this kind of treatment from him before. As he moved forward, she has to stop some way and she stood hitting against his desk. He blocked her by keeping his arms on either side and moved his face closer to her.

“How dare you hug that Rita?” Instantly, her eyes popped out of its sockets. She’s tongue-tied by his question.

“And what the hell you share with that Daksh?”

“S.. .i… r… ”

“Shut up. Shut up. You’ve no rights to share yourself with anyone.” He screamed at the top of lungs feeling ignored by her always.

“What are you saying? Do you realise what your words mean by?” Khushi asked gathering her courage feeling confused by his alien orders.

He inched closer to her and spat his thoughts, “I know what I’m saying Khushi. How dare you gave that right to Daksh to call you by Khush? Only I’ll call you by any endearments.”

The glint in his eyes turned dangerous and she felt scared even more and his words are not helping her either, “What?”

“How dare he wink at you? I’ll burn him alive if he set his eyes at my possession.”

She couldn’t believe what she heard. This new ASR is giving her shocks after shocks that she feared she would get a heart attack at such a young age.

“What are... you… saying, boss?”

“It’s Arnav.”

“What?” She frowned.

“It’s Arnav for you Khush.” He said sliding his arm around her waist shocking her for the umpteenth time on that day.

She opened her mouth to say something but only air released out of her mouth instead of words. Using this opportunity, he slammed his lips on hers, closing it with his own.

“You’re only MINE.” He murmured in between his kiss. Khushi is too horrified to think anything.

She wiggled instantly and his other arm come around her waist and secured her in its place.

“Mmmm…” Khushi mumbled trying to push him away as she’s out of breath but he didn’t budge. He realised her only for a minute and captured her again to never let go off.

“You’re only MINE Khush.”

He mumbled letting his lips travel across her face, wetting it in the process leaving his mark.

“Neither I want to see you anywhere near that Daksh and Rita nor I’ll allow anyone near you who took advantage of ASR precious.”

She felt some alien things inside her stomach and strangely she loved it. Something produced on her vocal cord and she let it out without protest. Her moan activated his adrenaline. Blood rushed to his south and his lips also cascaded down following by.

His hard petals pressed firmly against her throat making her knees go weak. Her arms automatically garland his neck for support.

“Say that You’re MINE.” He demanded descending down her throat. Khushi bit her lips feeling strange about her own body.

“Say that you’re MINE Khush…” He stressed his command placing his lips above her shirt cladded heart. Feeling disappointed by her null response, he lifted his eyes and notices her lost frame.

Without a second thought, he gripped her jaws and lifted her face to his level, “Aren’t you feeling same like me?”

Khushi looked at him in a dilemma. How can she say something which she is unsure and spontaneous?

“I don’t know…” Words flow out of Khushi without hesitance.

“You’ve to know.” He said firmly and pressed his lips against hers again.

She gasped and gripped his hairs unknowingly welcoming his moves. He breathed heavily and plunged into her neck, “Still you don’t know.”

Khushi closed her eyes and arched back, “I don’t know.”

Distress washed over his frame, strengthening his determination. He’s never used to hear NO. So, he’s not going to leave her without getting a YES.

Lifting his head from her neck, he met her eyes and locked with his. Ever slowly, softly, gently, he placed his lips on her forehead pouring all his feelings on that single peck.

“I’m YOURS.” Again, words escaped her without notice. Her heart found what her mind couldn’t comprehend at the moment.

He smirked carrying a winning pride and took a step back to relish the moment. Her red plump cheeks and her laboured breath announced his victory.

“You are fired, Miss Gupta.”

“What?” Khushi stood straight coming out of the dreamland.

“You’re fired from my secretary post and promoted as my own personal…”

“Personal?”

“BIWI.”

Khushi lips adopted a grin and her heart fluttered in unknown happiness. Arnav lips also stretched wide feeling relieved from the stress he has been feeling from the past year.
