Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 625: The Campfire

Breaking their kiss, Ivan and Arna panted for some, still yearning for another round. With an arm around her waist, Ivan's long finger gently brushed the smudged lips from the corner of her lips.

He asked when she awkwardly changed her straddling position and sat sideways on his legs, "You can't keep your hands off me, will you really wait for the double wedding?" 

He wouldn't be surprised if they get grey hair waiting for Noor. He didn't doubt Arsh, his friend was a conqueror but he fell for the snail princess.

"Double Wedding?" Arna uttered in confusion without remembering she had blurted it out in a drunken state. The thought of a double wedding had indeed crossed her mind when she and Ivan were talking about the wedding. But she hadn't voiced her thoughts as Noor had no idea about Arsh.

She and Ivan weren't into dating as Ivan knew about her feelings for a long time. And he proposed to her for the marriage instead of asking her out to be a girlfriend.

But it would be different in the case of Arsh and Noor. They might date for months or years before getting married. She was sure Arsh won't pressure Noor for anything and the wedding topic might freak out Noor.

Arna shook her head at Ivan. There was no mirth in her voice, she was gloomy while speaking her opinion in clear senses "Did I say something yesterday?... I don't think it would be a good idea. What if they take a very long time?" 

Her arms wrapped around him, resting her chin on his shoulder. The thought of celebrating their special days together with her brother indeed excited her. But, she didn't want to make anything unfair for Ivan due to her wishes.

She felt Ivan inhale deep as his hand caressed her back, as though trying to soothe her. Silence enveloped plunging into their thoughts.

Ivan was smart enough to know the reason behind her different opinions. He knew if he said yes, none would object to them by respecting their choices. But did he want to wait an unknown period?

He had the answer. No, he didn't want to wait anymore. Even though it didn't make much difference for him if they are married or not, and they were already together, he couldn't convince himself to wait.

Ivan pulled Arna away from his embrace to face her, "How about this? The next fashion show is very crucial for you and it will take up to two months."

Arna shook her head, unwilling to make him go by her unreasonable wishes. Even though she would love to have a double wedding, she wanted to be with Ivan, more than fulfilling her little wish, "It's alright, we don't have to wait"

"Listen to me first," Ivan cut in and saw her obediently nod, "We aren't going to wait for them. I don't want to pressure your work with wedding arrangements. So let's push the wedding until you complete your show."

Arna actually wanted to shake her head and say she could handle it. But then, if they get married before her show, she wouldn't be able to give much time to Ivan due to work. If they get married later, they could give all their time to each other. So she nodded in acceptance of his plan.

Ivan could guess why she accepted. Anyway, he continued, "Then another month might take for shopping and arrangements. Let's do it together." He didn't want to let everything be handled by their families or the event management team.

This time, Arna had a big smile while nodding, "We will only get married once. Let's choose the venue, decor, and everything." She started dreaming about the wedding.

Ivan chuckled and continued, "During this time, if Arsh and Noor manage to be together and start having wedding plans, we can then wait a few more days."

Arna's lips curled to O understanding how Ivan was merging their requirements with her little wish.

"But Your wish doesn't only have us. It will be fulfilled only if Arsh and Noor like to have a double wedding. Our families will like the double wedding, however, we can't expect the same from the Woods."

Arna was glad he was so level-headed without ignoring any circumstances. She cupped his head and pecked on his lips so swiftly that he didn't get to react. She wrapped her arms and responded, "Perfect. Then let's not talk about the double wedding to anybody. I don't want to pressure, Bro."

Well, Arsh already knew it. Ivan had said it thinking Arsh might have an idea. Anyway, if they say they are planning a wedding after three months, Ivan hoped, Arsh won't feel pressured.

Instead of responding to her words. Ivan sharply inhaled, "Could you stop seducing me?" His voice was husky, holding her firm on his lap without letting her squirm.

Arna's back slightly stiffened when she felt something hard under her thighs. She had forgotten she was on his lap while making herself comfortable.

Pushing herself back, she wanted to get up but he suddenly moved. She heard something fall on the floor when his hand swung behind her before her back swayed and pressed against the desk. "I-" He seized her lips in a searing kiss turning her into a puddle of water under him.

Busy making out in the office, Arna's mobile rings failed to disturb them. When Ivan's mobile rang on the table, Arna gasped at the vibration breaking their long kiss.

Ivan was about to curse, Arna breathed heavily uttering, "It's Noor."

Ivan straightened his back, pulling Arna to sit on the desk. Controlling their breathing, Ivan answered the phone to speak while keeping his arm around Arna.

"Brother Ivan, do you have plans for tonight?" Noor asked.

Arna and Ivan looked at each other and burst into laughter. They were already aware Noor had asked Rooney to join the date for lunch; they couldn't believe she was calling Ivan now.

"Sister Snow!?" Noor greeted in confusion without knowing why they were laughing at her.

"Noor, what's up? Is my brother troubling you?" Arna asked curiously, pitying her brother's life.

There was a slight pause before Noor responded, "Nope I- I think I am torturing him" She giggled after it.

To vouch for it, they heard Arsh's voice, "Could you guys believe if I say Noor is making me chop the woods for a campfire?" 

Noor giggled after his question. Since they were going to grill the fish, she thought a campfire would be a great idea. Little did she know, he was going to gather the woods by himself instead of calling workers to do it. It was fun to do everything on their own so she was also helping him, enjoying herself.

Ivan and Arna looked at each other in shock and astonishment. It was hard to believe their ears hearing Noor giggle next to Arsh instead of silently standing. 

Arna announced getting off from the desk, "Send us the location. We are coming." Without hearing the response, the duo quickly left the office to enjoy the campfire. 

Well, Arsh had suggested Noor invite Arna, Ivan, Naira, Rooney, and Jasmine if they were free as Noor Wood had managed to catch lots of fish and the campfire would be enjoyable with more people.
