Bewitched

Chapter 4

Not proofread!

The rest of the evening was a complete torture to Shivaay.Annika had indeed taken his challenge seriously.It was as if she was hell bent on making him loose it.While Shivaay,on the other side was having a tough time in pretending unaffected by her actions.

Shivaay was surprised to come across this sneaky side of his wife.His lady was full of surprises and he couldn't agree more to it.The way she had effortlessly managed to do things to him without anyone's notice had him gaping.

From making sure to sit extremely closer  to him,to 'helping' him set his collar right;she had done it ALL!

Shivaay chocked on his food as she placed her palm on his thigh under the table.This lady didn't even leave him while having food!This was so unlike Annika.Infact,it's always him doing all these things and now that he was a victim of these things today,he understood what it is to be in  her shoes!As much as he loved teasing,to be teased is not something enjoyable and Shivaay Singh Oberoi learned his lesson today.

People present on their table looked at him worriedly as he coughed while Annika played the innocent card there.Shivaay somehow managed to make it look natural,asking them to continue while Annika's hand travelled dangerously high.He kept his palm on hers' trying to stop her,giving his best 'you're-gonna-regret-it' look.But Annika being herself,didn't pay heed to his warning glare.Inturn,she leaned closer."You still get affected Shivaay,even after two and half years of marriage,Haww!",she mocked him using the same tone like he did before while he fumed.Already plotting plans in his mind to make her regret this later.Withdrawing her hand back,she continued eating and conversing with people as if nothing happened at all,making Shivaay chuckle looking at her.

He was unsure about going back to their room after the party.For the first time after their marriage,Shivaay was not ready to go back to their bedroom after a party!He didn't know what to expect from Annika tonight,especially with the sultry look she gave him before retiring back to the room.Shivaay was uncertain,not because he was expecting something like her look suggested,but because he knew that she was gonna torture him and he wasn't ready for it.After all,he wasn't some sort of a horny teenager and not everything was about that!

Walking towards their room,Shivaay mentally prepared himself for the inevitable.He knew what was coming and he was ready to face it!or so he thought!

Opening the door,he came across a grinning Annika.She walked up to him in a slow pace with a smirk intact on her face.Locking the door behind his back,Shivaay crossed him arm across his chest."What was that?",he questioned her ignoring her smirk.

"What?",Annika batted her long black eyelashes at him.

Walking closer to him,she locked her hands behind his neck."Looks like someone really got affected by my actions!"

"Annika,people could have noticed it,you know I don't like it when we are-"

Not  letting him continue further,Annika spoke."Don't you try to change the topic,and also,none of them noticed,alright!I am very secretive about  my work.",she winked.

"That you are.You saucy little minx!".Laughing,pulled her closer by her waist.

Understanding his intentions,Annika pushed him back."No no mister,not until you agree that it did affect you.",she said before walking towards the dressing table.

Shivaay sighed heavily.After all,this is what he has been trying to avoid.He would never openly admit that fact.Atleast,not in front on Annika.!

"So,tell me.",she walked up to him again after wiping off her make up.

Shivaay shook his head."I think we should hit the bed,Annika.It's quite late.",saying so,he walked towards the washroom while Annika narrowed her eyes.

Shivaay watched Annika as she applied moisturiser on her arm.She was now wearing a loose t-shirt with cotton shorts and Shivaay,his customary night wear.

Annika looked at him through the mirror and giggled watching his irritated face.She was intentionally taking longer time than usual and that had Shivaay irritated,she knew it.

Watching her giggle,he stood up from the couch and abruptly scooped her from the stool she sat on.Annika screamed as he threw her on the bed before getting on top of her."You think this is funny?",he asked as she giggled.

"You look so cute right now.Just like a billu!",she trailed her index finger on his jawline.

Shivaay pinned her hands on either side at that."I can show you how wrong you are,you want me to?",he asked with a smirk.

"Would love it actually.But before that,accept that I won the challenge",she mirrored his smirk.

"What makes you think that I'll do that?",he asked peppering kisses on her jawline.

"Huh?Get off me then,you stupid baggad billa",Annika wriggle under him.

Kissing her cheek,he got off her.

"I was planning to do that anyway",Shivaay said laying on his side of the bed.

Annika scowled as he smirked."I hate you!",she shouted as she switched sides.Her back,now facing him.

Scooting closer,he back hugged her."I love you too",he whispered in her ear placing a kiss there.Annika tried getting out of his hold before finally giving in.

"So jaao ab,phir baad mein madh bolna ki mene sone nahi diya.Good night",he said in a sleepy voice making Annika smile.
