Noah hovered over her. Her head was resting on the door of car and she can feel the weight his body over hers. Carissa can fell the warmth he was emitting. "Did you enjoy it?" He asked while his voice was very deep. There was something on his face that she has never seen before and what does it mean? Carrisa was confused.

She felt shiver down her spine. She wanted to run away from him. His body was heavy for her and she was feeling suffocated under his weight.


"What are you talking about? I asked you something". She complained trying to change the topic of discussion.

"First tell me did you enjoy it or not?" he repeated his question. He was not going to let her go easily. She has to answer no matter what.

'Yeah I enjoyed it a lot. Are you satisfied now?' She shouted in her mind. But how can she say such an embarrassing thing to his face.


She contemplated for a minute before speaking, "It was so crowded and I was embarrassed……." Carissa said in a low voice. She wanted to tell him in a way that he won't be aggravated.

Noah grinned, "So, you prefer doing things alone?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. It was another chance to tease her.


She looked at him in astonishment. He was talking dirtily and on the top of that very shamelessly. He was actually extracting his own desires from her words.

Her face was blushing, his hot breath, his hot body, the fragrance of cologne everything was creating a havoc in her mind. She could not deny his words too. Her mind, and her sense of judgement, all were getting foggy. This is what that attracts her more towards him. He makes her feel secure, fell protected. She knows no matter what he will not harm her. Even if he is on drugs.

He again pressed her lips. This time he did not go easy in her. He kissed her deeply sucking all of her energy. Carissa breathed heavily as she was getting low on oxygen. But instead of letting her breathe he blew some air from his mouth in to her. Carissa coughed and he finally pulled away. His minty and tobacco breathe was enough for her to go crazy. But she could not inhale it, instead choked on it.

She was still coughing. Noah massaged her back. "What should I do with you? You can't even suck in air properly". He was scolding her for being so poor at it.

"Get lost". She shouted. "Are you nuts Noah? What's wrong with you today? Are you on drugs?" Carissa paused, "Tell me your reason now". There was something...... something suspicious about him today.

"Edwin wanted to see my kissing skills so I just fulfilled his wish". He replied nonchalantly looking in her eyes.

Carissa felt the Earth moving below her feet, it was all for the show. He called her to brag himself in front of his friend. 'Am I a material for him to show off?'

She was embarrassed at herself.

Carissa opened the door and walked out. Noah ran after her and held her wrist, "I am sorry…."

She did not let him finish, "I did not expect this from you. How can do such a childish thing? You called me to show your kissing skills in front of your friend. I hate you for what you did. You should have consider my position too". In order to be great in the eyes of others he actually used her. They are not in a relationship. There are no commitments between them. Still he ignored everything and used her without thinking about what she will feel.

He can tell she is angry. But this is time this is his fault. He cannot deny this fact. Noah was getting frustrated and aggravated. Now, he was back to reality. 'Why did I do that? What did I do whhat others asked me?' He knows she is sex phobic even a small kiss in the past was enough to break her into cold sweat. Now a days she started to feel comfortable with him so he was taking everything for granted without thinking that he can also aggravate the situation too. He can also trigger her trauma. Noah was feeling guilty at his action.

"I am sorry it will not happen again". Noah again apologized. This time he was not looking in her eyes and he cannot look into them unless she forgives him. This guilt was too much.

"Noah I want to be alone for some time. Please". She replied gently but he can sense the anger behind her words. Carissa released her hand from his grip and walked away. Noah looked at the driver, "I will drive back". The driver immediately handed him the keys. He immediately started to follow her in a very low speed. How can he let her go alone?

Carissa came in hurry she was not wearing much clothes and did not had any money. Noah frowned at her single layered clothes. He pressed a button to roll down the window, "Carissa stop being stubborn. You can get angry as much as you want but now GET IN". His voice was loud at the last words and there was a hint of anger. But he is angry at himself. Carissa ignored him and continued to walk.

"You will catch a cold". He was worried.

"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE". Carissa shouted. In this foggy and quiet night her voice echoed. She was surprised at her own tone. She has never spoken like this before.

"I will get lost but now get in or I will force you". He was threatening her.

Carissa glanced at the surroundings and the quiet place scared her for a second. The reality hit her suddenly, 'What if someone will kidnap me?' She became terified, 'No no.... I will not let such a dangerous thing happen to me. I think i should follow Noah for now.' In order to avoid anymore drama she quietly sat in the back seat. Noah glanced at her from the rear-view mirror. He grip tightened on the steering wheel but quietly drove to her apartment. 'What if she will not go with me?' He was afraid of her tantrums.

After reaching to the apartment Carissa went to the apartment without looking back at him and he was looking helplessly at her leaving figure.

Carissa could not sleep for the whole night and it was the same case with Noah...... no it was worse for him.

In this cold and chilling weather he swam in an outdoor swimming pool for the whole night. The housekeeper saw him swimming, he become worried.

"Young master why don't you come out now? I am afraid that you will fall ill at this rate".

Noah ignored his continues nagging and kept on swimming. He was getting rid of the hate he has seen in her eyes. He was getting rid of all the pent up feelings that are weighing down his heart. No one has told him... never... never in his life.... that he or she hates him.

At dawn, when the sun rays started to fade the darkness of the night and when all of his energy was drained, he finally stepped out. Noah felt his legs getting wobbly and he was having a severe headache. His body was beet red due to the cold water. He endured so much pain because he was numb. Only his senses continued to make him remember 'I hate you' again and again. He wanted to make his brain numb but even after swimming for the whole night he was failing to do it.

With a wobbly legs he went for a shower. And after taking a warm shower he went to office at 7 am. Without eating anything he started to work on the pending things from yesterday.

At 9 AM, Carissa came but unlike usually she did not wish him good morning and without giving him any glance she went to her desk and started working.

Noah's mood dropped more. She can feel his chilling glances at her body.

When Aaron entered in the office, Noah threw the files at him. "Fire all of them right now. It is all trash. If you ever dare to bring such a ridiculous proposal again.... be prepared to hand in your resignation letter too." He was venting everything at pitiful Aaron.

Aaron has not seen him getting angry in a while. He was getting used to see Noah in a good mood now, forgetting the fact that he is a Panther. Seeing his old self back Aaron was afraid and worried. He glanced at Carissa from the corner of his eyes who did not bother to look at them. Before whenever he will start getting furious with just her single glance his mood takes a 180 degree turn. Aaron can see that they had a serious fight. Both of them were not in good mood. 'Why are you getting angry? I should be the one.....'Carissa thought and sighed.

From morning till now he has fired 12 employees. Aaron looked at Carissa for help but she continued her work. He gathered all the documents from the floor and went outside.

The day ended with his shouting and firing some innocent employees. He is a ball of fire. In the evening Carissa felt his footsteps going away but she heard a falling sound. Her heart skipped a beat.
