SOMETHING (BEAUTIFUL) UNFINISHED

Chapter 3: The Party

When Annika woke up on Friday morning, she was fucking exhausted. How had she only been home for a day and a half. Her entire body was tired, it was also goddamn early. Annika had agreed to help Mallika, Gauri and her mom with last minute party things that needed to be done. Her parents were throwing a huge party for Siddharth & Mallika tonight as a pre wedding celebration, which is much more for the sake of business than anything else, considering the actual wedding is in a week.

She knew there would be some big players here today and this was the perfect way to really solidify the new bond between Trivedi's and Rana's. The wedding would be mostly close friends and family, but this? This party was a statement, two major houses joining ranks. Annika groaned inwardly, she hated the family business and all that went with it.

Annika made her way to the ensuite, apparently her mom needed help with last minute décor and staging. Which doesn't even make sense since she knew Jyoti had hired a team of people to host this thing. She also must find time to quickly fly into town and pickup her dress, she had ordered it online while she was back home, so she didn't have to travel with it.

The hot water from the shower felt amazing, Annika felt some of the tension instantly drain from her shoulders, just as she allowed her mind to drift to her last memory she had in this shower.

Annika had the water scolding hot, trying to wash away all the shitty emotions she was feeling. Silent tears falling down her face as she stood under the rain shower above her, rinsing her lavender conditioner out of hair.

Suddenly she feels two arms snake around her naked waist. She gasps, so lost in her own thoughts she hadn't even heard him come in.

"Hey Jaan"

God, that voice. Shivaay is many things, a man of many great attributes and talents, but god his voice! She quickly wipes her face, easily disguising her tears as water. "Hi" she responds softly. "I was just about to jump out"

His hands move from her waist to her shoulders, gently massaging, she can't help but lean into him a little bit. He is so close behind her that she feels him rock hard against her ass. "Shit Annika, you're so tense" he leans down and nips at her neck. "How about we stay in a bit longer, I'll relax you" he purrs.

Annika inhales sharply as his arms slip back around her waist and slowly started dipping lower. She moans as Shivaay slides a finger through her slit.

"mmm, always so wet for me. Hmm, Annika? You're always so ready for me" Shivaay continues placing featherlight kisses on her neck and shoulders and his fingers massage her folds desperately in a slow pace.

"Shivaay, we're in the water, everywhere is wet" Annika giggles, suddenly feeling shy.

Shivaay chuckles behind her before grasping her jaw to turn her head, looking her straight in the eye. "No Annika, I can feel you. You're wet for me; I feel the heat coming off you." Then he is devouring her mouth, tongue demanding entrance, fingers demanding entrance...

Annika gasps, suddenly realizing where she had allowed her mind to go. No, that can simply not happen. Thoughts of Shivaay, super hot memories of Shivaay. That ends now. Annika angrily finishes her shower, quickly before she allows her mind to go any further. You idiot, what the fuck are you thinking. Today is off to a great fucking start.

She quickly finishes getting ready and heads downstairs, Mallika and Jyoti are already sitting at the kitchen island.

"Good morning sleepyhead, it's already past 6." Her mom jokingly chides, everyone knows how much Annika used to hate mornings, a fact that has not changed although she's gotten better at functioning before 7.
