Chapter 27:
Daksh didn’t know why Annika is wearing a scarf even though the weather is not that cold.
Has she caught a cold…?
She kept fidgeting with the scarf and got easily distracted from her work.
The decorations are taking place for the engagement of Tia and Shivaay next day so she’s busy with the work and didn’t even spare him a glance.
It irked him a lot that she didn’t even glance at him when he had fallen in love with her..
It was love at first sight..
Her beauty..
Her bubbly character..
Daksh wants to possess her completely, his hands itching to take a photo whenever she’s showing a different expression, to capture them.
He felt like locking her up, not letting anyone see her, just him and her..
Just then her scarf got tangled with decoration equipments and without noticing it, she moved around making the scarf to fall and Daksh moved near the scarf and picked it up, grabbing this chance to speak with her.
“Annika, your scarf..”
Annika turned around and touched her neck then extended her hand towards him..
That’s when he saw it….
A bruise on her neck….
A love bite….
A kiss mark…..
Annika must have noticed his staring because she quickly grabbed her scarf and put it around her neck..
She didn’t say anything and just returned to work.
That irritated him like no other thing ever did.
The blatant ignorance is irritating him to no end.
Hasn’t she told him that she doesn’t have a boyfriend when he asked her about this yesterday..?
Daksh cannot stop the burning feeling inside him..
Annika has to be his…
This love, this obsession he’s feeling for the first time is unbearable and by crook or hook he’s going to have her.
Let’s find out who gave her a love bite first..
Annika.. Just you wait…
I will make you cornered or scared or whatever I had to so that you will depend on me alone and become mine.
Annika sighed and ordered the servants around since tomorrow is the engagement. She’s being paid well for this job and if she finished this job, she will save this for Saahil’s higher studies and can look after the living expenses with another job.
So she has to do this job since she was entrusted too by the devil…
But no matter how hard she tried, she cannot concentrate on the job like usual..
Because….
She could very well feel his gaze..
Those azure eyes has been piercing her, non stop from the moment she entered the house in morning.
Granted she could not see him, she could not see him even if she looked around, he’s not around her but she knows he’s somewhere around and staring at her..
Why….?
Why this azure eyed devil is torturing her like this..?
Her body had become awkward and she felt as if he’s touching her not gazing at her.
God….!
She could feel it in her skin…
And Annika cannot help but remember what happened yesterday,
His tongue slowly trailing where he bit, giving light, almost like feather light kisses on her neck.
Annika shook her head of the images, it’s making her hot..
Thank God, he’s not around..
Annika doesn’t think she can face him after that.
She hadn’t slept peacefully yesterday, tossing around and touching the bitten area, making it even more red with her constant touches.
No matter how she looked at it she don’t think doing something like that to a girl is not normal thing to do, right.?
“Annika mam, Shivaay sir asked you to go to his room. He wants to discuss something important.”
Think of the devil…
“Now itself mam.”
Annika really, really doesn’t want to go there..
In his room…
Probably alone…
Just thinking about standing in front of those azure eyes is enough to make her tremble and with the yesterday’s memory fresh in her mind, her legs trembled and there must be really something wrong with her stomach because she felt her stomach tingling, making her feel sick.
What’s going on…?
Just barely a month before, he destroyed her home and changed her life just because of a misunderstanding..
Now they’re not even close to even call friends, they barely just talk civilly.
Then why it feels like there is an intensity between them more than she had ever felt with any kind of relationship.?
But enough is enough, Annika never backed down, this is not a time to feel nervous.. He’s just toying with her, playing with her.
Get a grip Annika…
Annika mustered her mental strength and knocked his door..
“Come in”
Why does his voice suddenly is so husky all of a sudden..?
Mental strength, don’t leave me..
Annika prayed her brain and entered the room.
He was turning towards the wall, his back towards her.
At least she cannot see him since he’s facing the opposite side.
“Close the door and come in.”
“C-close..?”
Annika blamed it all on her brain for running away as soon as she has came in front of him..
“Can’t you tell the air conditioner is running?”
Oh..!
Well done Annika..! What were you thinking?
Annika closed it and turned towards him to find him super close all of a sudden out of nowhere..
Annika could not meet his azure eyes..
He suddenly put his hand on her forehead and Annika swore her heart stuttered..
“W-what.?”
He moved away from her, much to her heart’s relief since it looked like her heart will forget to beat if he stayed that close.
“Just checking if you have a fever.. You are wearing a scarf and all”
And Annika knew it just the way that damned smirk made appearance after so long that he’s teasing her, enjoying her squirming and going all red..
Who does the devil think he is..?
“What did you ask me here for Shivaay sir?”
“Oh.. I wanted to ask what are all the things you had finished and discuss the guest list with you.”
Annika explained that she had ordered the list of food they wanted, arrangement of everyone’s dress, make up artists, music and ring. The decoration alone is left out and she’s looking into it.
It’s not as if there are any guests except both bride and groom’s family since Tia’s identity is a secret till the marriage. Guests will only attend the marriage.
Shivaay watched her speaking, not really caring what she’s saying since he know everything already.
He could not take his eyes off her ever since she had came home today and he wanted, oh how he wanted to see if his bite had left a bruise or not..
Shivaay had even made excuses to his brothers and spent the day gazing at her, trying to catch a glance of his teeth work secretly.
So seeing the scarf had irritated him…
She must have known something happened while she was asleep…
Shivaay expected her to come and accuse him or even ask him something, but she never came and she didn’t look like affected by anything and it irritated Shivaay.
But judging by how Daksh had went to the guest room and spent his day silently which is saying something, then it must mean he is upset and Shivaay wanted to see her neck..
But first of all he wanted to confirm something, that’s why as soon as she turned around, he moved in her personal space…
Ah…
There it is…
Badump…
Badump….
Badump….
And when he touched her forehead,
It increased lot more than before.
So Shivaay moved away quickly from her..
What is this..?
Whatever it is….
Shivaay likes it…
You’re going to pretend it’s nothing, right Annika..?
So the mischievous Shivaay took the glass of water nearby and feigned to drink it, came close to her and oops, slipped on her scarf.
Then he smirked at her,
“My bad”
With that, he pulled her scarf away without any warning.
Annika’s hand automatically went to cover her neck.
He’s devil…
A merciless, teasing devil…
His fingers trailed her hands from her shoulder to her fingers..
“What happened Annika?”
If he wants me to remove the hand then why he is not doing like a normal person.? His words and action doesn’t match at all.
He’s asking if something wrong with her like a concerned person but why his fingers are tracing her hand, he removed her hand from her neck like it’s nothing.
She wants the ground to swallow her up, his azure eyes gazed at her neck and she could feel something dark behind those eyes.
It felt like he wants to eat her..
Annika pushed him a little away but he again came close to her.
“What happened to your neck Annika.?”
He’s asking as if he knows nothing with a damn smirk on his face.
So he wants her to tell on her own mouth… Annika is not going to give that satisfaction to him.
She stared straight at him,
“Oh.. Just a bug bite..”
Take that.. I am indirectly calling him a bug..
Ha ha… Take that Shivaay Singh Oberoi..
Soon her small victory faded from her mind when he all of a sudden he put his hand around her waist and pulled her towards him, his another hand tilting her chin, exposing her neck..
“Oh… A bug bite..? Let me see.. It may get infected if not treated properly..”
Annika knew he’s too close to feel his beard lightly piercing her again, just like yesterday and blew air on her neck, making goosebumps to rise on her skin..
Annika pushed him away and exited the room saying, she can apply an ointment herself..
With that she closed his room’s door ignoring him chuckling at her but overall his eyes looked victorious, gazing at her neck…
Why did he feel happy with that..?
Why is he doing this to me..?
Oh…! She had left the scarf inside and what she’s going to do..?
But no… She’s not going near him..
Annika rubbed her face knowing it must have gone red and tried hard to pull herself together..
Just when he blew air on her neck…
No…. No….
She’s not gonna think about it, nope…
She walked away from his room, more like ran to the decoration work.
“Did you see that O…?”
“Yeah… Annika was blushing Rudy and almost running away.”
“Just after she came out of bhaiyaa’s room.”
Rudra and Om who had been coming this way had witnessed the very brave and strong Annika, running away from Shivaay’s room.
“What happened Rudra? Did something happen between them?”
“Maybe bhaiyaa kissed her”
“Rudra, Shivaay is not a playboy like you”
“But O…”
“Come on.. Let’s go and ask him. There must be still a chance to change his mind before the engagement.”
