Wearing a wine coloured suite , with a mug of expresso in his hand , and a business file opened in front of him, Shivaay was sitting on the sofa which had the clearest view of the enterance of the mansion , waiting for a certain person to show up , his wedding planner to be precise , turning the pages of the file and stealing glances towards the door time to time, all cluless about the happenings of the previous night , all he remembered about last night was their senseous dance then  getting angry  after seeing tears in her eyes and being frustrated because he was soon going to get engaged to another girl but all he could do was think and feel things about Annika , and then getting drunk and passing out.......But little did he know what had he done , he didn't remember at all that he had barged into her house last night.

FLASHBACK ( the story is going in flashback and not Shivaay)

He took her lips in another passionate kiss and she responded equally , his hands resting at the planes of her back , under her top memorizing every inch of her body , her one hand in his hair and other clutching his shirt tightly , both fighting for dominance , he left her lips when he realized she was panting , she could feel his gaze on her face and she opened her eyes to meet his , she realized that today he was looking at her differently , his eyes were reflecting a deep emotion and lots of pain , her hold on his collar became harder as he continued to stare in her eyes not uttering a single word , she could feel his hands moving leisurely on her waist giving her a tingling sensation , she sighed in relief when his hands creeped out of her top , but again her breath stopped as they found their way at back of her neck , his long fingers very slowly glided on her soft skin sliding her hair to one side , a current ran down her body as his nose moved across the length of her neck leaving goosebumps on her exposed skin "why do you always have to smell so delicious" he groaned softly and with that he lifted her slowly and started moving towards her bed , placing her there lightly he towered above her not putting his whole weight on her , looking at her intently he placed his two fingers on either side of her cheeks , and lifted her face slowly , maintaining the eye contact "why , why do I always feel weak in the knees when I see you , why can't I not keep my eyes or hands off your body when you're around , why does my heart pain , when I see you cry , and the most important why am l not able to forget you , why damnit ?" he asked her , screaming the last bit , seriousness and frustration clear in his eyes , tears started forming in the corner of her eyes , not because he screamed at her but because the same was happening with her and she didn't have an answer to his single question , she closed her eyes to hide her feelings and tears started desecnding down her cheeks , " I'm..... so..rry...... I didn't mean to hurt you , but plea...se , please don't cry , I told you that my heart pains when I see you cry " he said his voice broken and full of pain , and with that he wiped each and every tear drop that desecended down her eyes , making her smile , even a stranger could make out that he was completely drunk cause he would never in his wildest dreams would say all this to her in his senses , the next thing he did made her gasp with shock , he hugged her, hugged her so tight that his hot breath was fanning her cold skin sending chills down her spine , she could feel his heart beating way faster than needed , there bodies pressed together tightly , sharing each other's warmth in the cold night , he hugged her to console her , to show her that he's there for her , she felt peace in his arms , she felt as if all her burdens were gone , they remained in the same position for a long time , and her eyes started dropping , she was tiered and his embrace was the perfect place to sleep she thought, snuggling into his shirt , inhaling his scent she drifted into a peaceful sleep , a peaceful sleep after ages , "Annika?" He whispered , not knowing that she had slept as soon as he took her his arms , "Annika?" He repeated softly , and lifted his face from her hair to look at her , he smiled softly as he admired her sleeping , leaning on her face he placed a very tender kiss on her cheek , and started to get up carefully not disturbing her , when he realized that she was still clutching his collar tightly preventing him from moving , he very slowly removed her hand from his collar and then removed his hand which was beneath her , he got up and turned to leave when he heard her mumble "don't go " he stopped , leaned on her and whispered ," I don't want to , but I have to " gazing her cheek with his fingers , he got up not before placing another quick kiss on her other cheek and leaving , as soon as he reached his room he fell on the bed and slept thinking about their midnight encounter , with a smile.

Flashback ends

Shivaay 's  POV

Again , again my body sensed her before my eyes could see her , my  heart started beating faster than required , my body temperature started rising , glancing upwards , I looked at her , today she was wearing something different a pink churidar and her hair were tied in a loose ponytail ,  my hand ached to open her hair and move my fingers in her long soft locks.... Shivaay not again , "control" , I closed my eyes to calm myself and put on my control freak mask , I could see her laughing on a silly joke cracked by my brother , my stupid brother Rudra , no no please don't come here please , oh God ,in the whole house she only got this place to sit ,right in front of me .
About twenty minutes have passed and she's still sitting here right in front of me , and cherry on top  is no one's there in the room except us . She's busy in her own work and I am busy thinking how to take my eyes off her gorgeous face , the way she concentrates is amazing , I mean it's been more than half an hour since I am sitting here with this file opened in front of me  and haven't even read a single page , because of her presence while looks like she has completed most of her work .....my life sucks.

...........

His eyes were still fixed on her and when her hair opened due to the wind and she slided them to one side exposing the skin of her neck , he groaned , louder than expected , not only because the kameez  she was wearing  had a boat neck which was exposing the perfect amount of her skin but also he had seen the mark, just below her ear which he had given her the previous night and thought that it was someone else's sin , she had tried to hide that mark with the help of a concealer , but little did she know that not even a single part of her skin gets unnoticed by him , he was so sure that it was a love bite , his fists curled , eyes blazed and blood boiled at the thought of her being with another man and him doing things to her which only he had done.... how could she? huh, it was only his soul right to touch her...... but why? , why was what he thought , oh he had so fallen for her....

He was still staring at the crook of her neck , oh how he wanted to burn the whole world , and claim her his forever , but what to do he was getting engaged , but wait a minute he was getting engaged but wasn't engaged till now , maybe he could call of his engagement with Tia , then he could freely think about her , but.....no he can't break his engagement , only for the sake of his family who had singed a  bloody deal with the Kapoor's , and he could never put his family down , but he could definitely ask her where was she last night after the announcement of his engagement and with whom , and when he'll get to know the name of that bastard who made love to her last night..... he'll kill him , oh that bastard's so dead ......but little did he know that he was the same " bastard" who had barged into her house , and attempted to make love to her  , while he was under the effects of alcohol.

...........
Sitting in her room ,
Sucking the tip of her pencil and curling a hair strand on her finger she was totally lost in her thoughts about SSO's  shaadi . When suddenly the lights went  out , She got up while dropping her stuff on the floor with a thud, when she heard someone's footsteps approaching, walking towards the door while sweating profously , She heard someone close the door behind ," who is there?" She asked , when suddenly she felt a known pair of arms wrap around her waist , she closed her eyes when she was slammed on the wall , the hands still on her waist , she was breathing real heavy , not only because of the dark but also because of the proximity , she was not able to see his face but very well knew that  it was him suddenly the lights came back she was now able to see is darkening eyes she felt so relieved that the lights came back . He was so close now that she could feel his hot breath on her neck she hissed  as his finger slowly lingered on the mark  , " Who is he? " He wispered into her ear " who is he ?" he was almost shouting now ." Who did this to you Annika?" He practically shouted now , what !she thought to herself as if he doesn't know , " That's non of your business" She shouted on top of her voice and pushed him."ya right" he said under his breath " why am I concerned" and turned to leave . He was taken aback when she with all her strength pushed him against the wall." What do you think of your self huh! You think that I am a slut who sleeps around with men " " what happened between us  was a mistake and the one I regret the most". She said with anger dripping in her voice, Shivaay held her arm tightly "I ......um" he tried to clarify  "dare not touch me" she screamed , and jerked his hand away, she as fast as she could ran to the attached washroom , as she couldn't control her tears anymore , closing the door behind her , she fell on the floor crying , did he seriously didn't remember anything , anything that happened between them the previous night , which means that he didn't mean anything which he said last night,  thinking all this was Killing her  inside , oh she had so fallen for him ......

Still standing in her room on the same spot , for the first time he wanted to tell a girl "don't go"....
