Mira tried to sit up, but Harsh's arm tightened around her waist, keeping her right where she was.
"Where are you going?" he murmured, his voice lower now.
She swallowed. "I—I was just…"
"Escaping?" he smirked.
She rolled her eyes, but her hand instinctively rested on his shoulder to steady herself. "From you? Maybe."
"Liar," he said softly.
His fingers traced lightly along her arm, slow and deliberate, sending a shiver down her spine. Mira stiffened for a second, then relaxed despite herself.
"Harsh…" she warned, but it came out breathless.
He noticed.
That smile returned.
"Say my name like that again," he whispered, leaning closer.
Her heart skipped. "You're being impossible."
"And you're not stopping me."
Before she could respond, he gently tilted her chin up. This time, he didn't rush. His gaze lingered on her face, like he was memorizing every detail.
"You have no idea what you do to me," he said quietly.
Mira's cheeks turned pink again. "Stop talking like that…"
"Or what?"
She didn't answer.
So he closed the distance.
The kiss was slower this time—deeper, more intentional. His hand moved from her waist to her back, pulling her closer, as if he didn't want even an inch between them.
Mira melted into it before she could even think.
Her fingers curled into his shirt, holding onto him as if she had missed this for far too long.
When he pulled back slightly, their foreheads rested together, both of them breathing a little heavier.
"You still think I'm just being flirtatious?" he murmured.
She opened her eyes slowly, her lips curving into a shy smile. "Maybe a little…"
"Then I'll just have to prove you wrong."
Before she could process that, he shifted, gently pulling her closer again, his hand brushing against her cheek, then lingering at her jaw.
"Careful," she whispered. "You said my lips are sweet… you might get addicted."
He chuckled softly. "Too late."
This time, when he kissed her, it wasn't teasing anymore—it was certain.
And Mira didn't pull away.
