Final: The Billionaire's Desire

Stacy’s POV

        It is the winter evening when I am getting ready to leave from office to home. Zaroon intercom me and asked me to wait for him. He wanted to take me on date and also wanted to talk.

      I thanked God that he asked me for this because I wanted to confess my feelings to him now. I really wanted to tell him that he means the world to me. But due to time mis-management and he being workaholic, never let me have my alone time with him. It is happening since the last time I have asked him for some more time. I knew he was avoiding me because he never wanted to hurt me by asking the same question again and again. So he did it his own way by maintaining the distance from me. And from the day he had started doing that, I felt dragged towards him even more. I wanted to tell him now that I loved him more than anything on the earth but he is not giving me my fair chance now. I wanted to hold him in my arms, staring & diving in his deep eyes and tell him that he is the one whom I have been waiting for and that is why it never happened with anyone else. So finally today is the day.

In the evening after office……

“Hey baby,” I said softly, my heart thundering against my chest. “You are with me, aren’t you?” his eyes darkened imperceptibly as they studied me.

“Where have you been?” I asked, just like he had asked me the first time he confessed his feelings. I leaned closer to him so that my lip almost touched his ear. I felt him shiver. “I’ve been looking for you my whole life,” I whispered, just like he had whispered to me a long time ago.

It was his turn to answer. I held my breath. Whatever reply he would say now would determine if he had forgiven me or not. If he still wanted me or not.

A small smile flitted on his lips as he whispered, “I have been waiting for you.”

I felt like crying.

“Zaroon…”

His palms cupped my face, his thumbs brushing away my tears, “Shall we go?” he murmured, his eyes filled with an emotion so intense and sincere it filled my throat with longing.

“Yes”, I answered.

We were at the beach. It was deserted, like it had been waiting for us all day. Like it has been waiting for this moment. I glanced at Zaroon. His eyes were closed. The breeze blew a lock of his bronze hair on his forehead, and I wanted to brush it back so badly.

“I miss you, Zaroon.” There was no response from him. His eyes kept closed, but I knew he heard me because his chest lifted up slightly longer than his normal even breathing. I took a deep breath, gathering courage, “I met you and you made me feel that no one else ever did. No one else stayed long enough to even try,” I felt a tear fall on my cheek, “until you.”

He held my face, “Rose!” I held my breath, waiting for him to continue. “From the moment I saw you, you have captured me. My body, mind and soul. You have taken everything from me.”

“Zaroon.”

“If I’m to choose my cage,” he said, his voice thick with emotions, “I’d choose you. I am a prisoner sentenced with a lifetime of loving you.” He cupped my face in his hands as his eyes, so sincere, looked into mine. “I love you.” He whispered.

I felt something clicked into place. Like the missing piece in a puzzle finally found its place. “I love you, Zaroon.” I whispered back before he claimed my lips and kissed me under the moon light.

Zaroon’s POV

        We stayed up till late night. I held her in my arms and that was all I needed right now. That was all I needed for long, long time. I missed her so much that it felt like there was a big gaping hole inside of my chest. When she wrapped her arms around me, she filled it up so quickly, so completely, it almost felt like it wasn’t there before.

        We left our shoes in the trunk of my car as we walked along the shore. My jacket was wrapped around her. I pulled her close to me as we walked, with my arms around her shoulders, hers on my waist. When she looked up at me, my heart thudded against my chest loudly.

God, how I missed her.

“Don’t,” she said, her voice a little embarrassed.

“Don’t What?”

“Don’t stare at me.”

I grinned. “I can’t help it.”

She looked down at her feet, tucked her hair behind her ear as she blushed.

My blushing rose. I dipped my head down to kiss her lips. So soft, so warm. Her hands rested on my chest as I felt her sigh. I smiled against her lips. I was too hungry for her, too starved for her taste, her smell, her touch……

AND FINALLY WE ARE TOGETHER BECAUSE WE WERE DESTINED TO BE SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING……AND PROMISED EACH OTHER THAT

“We will love each other until the last breath leaves our bodies.”
