The Traps of Black Swan

It wasn't Dax's first kiss. His first kiss was his first girlfriend and then he never had a girlfriend. Tara Lane was just a fling to get information about Leon Harmon.

Whenever he tried to kiss any girl on the lips, he always remembered his ex-girlfriend and how she used him hence it started irking him. As a result, he never lets anybody kiss him on the lips.

Most of his one nights and flings thought he had an OCD and he didn't give a damn about it.

Coming to the drunk girl standing in front of him, Dax knew she wasn't in her senses. If she knows about her own behavior with him after sobering up, she will run miles away from him. 

Since he can't forcefully avoid Tia, his lips arced up slyly glancing at Shawn who was anticipating the kiss. Shawn was hoping Dax could get out of his shell and Dax couldn't believe Shawn was selling off his so-called sister so easily.

Dax's gaze laid on his Dum Dum too and she was panicked thinking he was going to take it hard instead of expecting their kiss.

Before Tia's jutted lips landed on his, Dax successfully blocked with his palm between their lips. 

Shawn facepalmed and Aarvi finally breathed a relief. She really had thought Dax was going to push Tia to the ground or slap her across the face.

Tia pressed her lips on his backhand and stood back with a victorious grin. However, she missed seeing his hand lowering down. She gazed at his glowering eyes and said happily, "See, I kissed you and I am not scared of you."

Aarvi and Shawn: "..." Both wanted to hug the innocent child for thinking she actually kissed Dax.

After rolling his eyes, Dax's voice sounded cold, "Done? Go to the room."

Aarvi and Shawn stood up to leave but Tia snorted pointing her finger at Dax's face, "You angry man, you still don't believe me."

Aarvi almost tripped hearing it but balanced herself silently sobbing in her mind while Shawn was inarticulate. He took a cushion, placed it on the couch end, and laid down.

He lazily announced, "Wake me up when you guys are done."

Aarvi pouted looking at Shawn and glanced at Dax again, she so wished he could coax the drunk girl as she wasn't in the state to hear her or Shawn.

Dax checked the time on the wall clock, it was ten past two at midnight. They had to go to work in the morning and he didn't have any patience with Tia.

Looking at her irritated face, he asked in the same cold voice, sending shivers down her spine, "Do you want to prove that you aren't afraid of me?"

Tia jerked a step back obviously frightened by his murderous air but she nodded decisively, "Yes, because I don't fear you."

Aarvi looked at the armchair to sleep to give them time but she gaped when Dax swept Tia off her feet and started climbing the stairs.

She assumed he was throwing Tia in the guest room and she should stop Tia from going behind Dax so she ran behind them. Amused, Shawn followed them too.

Tia was frowning deeply failing all the tries to get off from the caged arms.

Aarvi froze at the guest room and couldn't help confirming in low voice, "Dax, are you sure?" 

Shawn was grinning ear to ear seeing Dax going towards his master bedroom. As far as they are aware, Dax never shares his bedroom with any girls. He always had fun outside his personal space.

Dax snapped at the wriggling girl in his arms, "Stop moving." And Tia froze with widened eyes on him. Then he looked daggers at Shawn before glancing at Aarvi who nodded in response to his unsaid words.

Then Dax went to his bedroom shutting the door behind him and the two heard Tia screaming, "I am not scared of you." 

Aarvi glared at Shawn who avoided her eyes and quickly ran away. 

She should have discerned Shawn had his reasons to make Tia his sister instead of an acquaintance or a friend. Aarvi never thought of including Tia with them but she never stopped when Shawn always pulled her with them.

Sleepy to the bones, she flopped on the bed. Anyhow, she flipped continuously for more than twenty minutes trying her best to sleep before sitting up. She couldn't believe despite being tired and sleepy she was missing Aaron next to her.

Without bothering to think, she straight went to the other guest room yawning wide. Knocking once on the door, she entered the bedroom and climbed on the bed between the brothers.

The room was spacious and dimly lighted. Aaron was sleeping facing the other end and Shawn who was on his mobile was speechless seeing her sleepy eyes. 

He started thinking if she had the sleepwalking problem and waved his hand in front of her face.

Aarvi slapped his hand away and pulled the duvet away from him. She pointed to the door, "Go, sleep in that room."

Shawn's lips twitched. He was happy to know they weren't as slow as he thought but countered, "Take your boyfriend and go to that room." He put on a dominant air of a prince.

Aarvi opened her eyes and watched Shawn's smug face. An enticing lopsided smirk appeared on her face and her brows raised. She mused, "Do you think I will wake up my sleeping boyfriend because of your lazy ass?"

Shawn: "..."

The dominant prince turned to a powerless prince, "My Little Heart is Evil. Sob, sob, sob…" He faked pitifully.

Aarvi shrugged her shoulder as she slid under the duvet, "Cry in that room please." 

The sad prince: "..."

She chuckled seeing him make a sad face. She pulled his cheeks and as she requested, "My little prince, please rest in that room. I am sleepy."

Satisfied, he bopped her nose and got off the bed. Aarvi wished, "Sexy dreams." 

Shawn added as he winked at her, "And hot too." He went out pulling the door close.

Shaking her head in resignation, Aarvi pulled the duvet up and spooned Aaron wrapping her arm around his waist.

The mischief man peeked in to make sure she wasn't sleeping on the other end of the bed and he was very satisfied seeing her snuggling his brother.

Shawn was about to close the door when he saw his brother flip around and coiled his arms aeound her, burying the little frame in his embrace. Then he planted a gentle kiss on her forehead without the need to open his eyes to check who it was.

Shawn really wished Aarvi could regain the memories of Aaron. He got his Little Heart and Dax got his Dum Dum back, similarly, he wanted his brother to have his Cupcake instead of just Aarvi Evans.

He closed the door and went to the guest room to rest. He was excited about facing Tia and Dax in the morning. 

He had seen Tia's innocent admiration for Dax and the latter never takes advantage of innocence so he just gave it a try. He wasn't expecting them to date. He just wanted Dax to have little faith in girls.

But things took another turn and they were going at high speed. He looked forward to seeing how he traps the little lamb and ready to witness the indulgence and coaxing side of Dax.

When Aarvi and Aaron were enjoying themselves pushing off the evening incident at the hospital, there was an intimidating old man in front of a young woman to solve it.
