Shakhi SS Marriage Of Convenience 

Chapter Thirteen

Anokhi looked disapprovingly at Shaurya who was busy with his laptop. She stomped her feet in annoyance and charged towards him. She closed his laptop shut which caught his attention. Before he could react, she pulled him on his feet and pushed him on the bed, catching him off guard.

Anokhi climbed on Shaurya and sat on his stomach while he gasped, too shocked to react. His shocked gaze roamed over her face, trying to figure out what she's up to while his eyes darken with desire.

"Anokhi" His voice was deep.

Shaurya stiffened as Anokhi trailed her hands down his arms, found his fingers and intertwined it with hers without breaking eye contact with him, her gaze intoxicating him.

"Shaurya" Anokhi's voice was barely a whisper.

Anokhi enjoyed the way he reacted to her touch which dared her to do more. She leaned down and stared at Shaurya, her hot breath fanning his face. Her lips curled into a smile while his fingers tried to break free from her grip, itching to hold her, which she didn't allow.

Daring, she leaned in slowly, tempting him with her eyes. She slowly placed her lips on his forehead, letting her lips linger there for a moment while Shaurya stiffened under her touch, instinctively closing his eyes.

Anokhi slowly trailed her lips to Shaurya's eyes. She kissed each of his chocolate orbs and went lower, teasing him by kissing his cheek and trailed hot kisses down his neck. Shaurya shuddered with pleasure, breaking free from Anokhi's grip and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer, taking her by surprise.

Anokhi gasped when Shaurya rolled their position. She was now beneath him while he smirked down at her, caging her between him and bed. He buried his face in her hair and slowly trailed his lips to her neck and nibbled the skin, imprinting his mark on her. A moan let out of Anokhi which made Shaurya crave for her more.

"Shaurya" Her voice was barely a whisper.

Shaurya looked up and responded her with a grin while raising one of his eyebrows in question. Anokhi licked her lips in anticipation as she stared at him, her voice and her body betraying her. Shaurya's eyes trailed down to her wet lips and then back to her eyes.

"Shau-"

This time Anokhi started but Shaurya didn't let her finish as he crashed his lips on hers. Anokhi winced at the sudden contact before losing herself in the kiss. Shaurya pulled himself back and looked at Anokhi who had her eyes closed in pleasure, his own desire mounting. He then hungrily attacked her lips again while Anokhi responded in equal fervor.

Shaurya sat up without breaking the kiss and pulled Anokhi into his lap, his hands roaming on her curves as she snaked her arms around his shoulders, her fingers digging into his soft locks.

Shaurya slightly lifted Anokhi kurtha and caressed her exposed skin which made her gasp. Taking the opportunity, Shaurya plunged his tongue inside her mouth, tasting her nectar. He caressed Anokhi's cheek with his thumb, urging her to follow him. She mirrored his action and they explored each other in a sizzling kiss.

They pulled away when they ran out of air. Shaurya placed his forehead against Anokhi's, both panting hard as a result of their passion filled make out session. Shaurya cupped Anokhi's face in his palms as he closed his eyes. Instinctively Anokhi closed her eyes too.

"I love you, Anokhi" Shaurya breathed, his voice heavy and breathe uneven.

Startled, Anokhi's eyes fluttered open as she sat up on the bed while her heart raced. Her eyes shot to her right and to her relief, she found Shaurya sleeping. She visibly relaxed as she tried to calm down herself by patting her cheeks.

'Sapna tha!' She placed her hand on her forehead as she thought to herself. (Just a dream!)

Anokhi closed her eyes and the dream, to be accurate her fantasy started playing in her mind. She opened her eyes as she shook her head, embarrassed of her own thoughts.

"Nikki, yeh tu kya soch rahi hai" (Nikki, what were you thinking!)

Anokhi's cheeks grew hot as her breath got uneven. She looked at Shaurya who had no idea of her situation and was sleeping peacefully. She bit the insides of her cheek, trying not to blush but failed as seeing Shaurya took her mind back to the way she was assaulting him in her dream.

"Yeh sab na aap ki waja se ho rahi hai. Patha nahi kya kya soch ke beithi hoon mein" Anokhi pointed her fingers at sleeping Shaurya "Aap kaise voh sab ... (cough) matlab I love you, Anokhi. Like seriously. Ho hi nahi saktha. Aap kaise kahenge" (All this is because of you. Don't know what I was thinking. How I'll you... I mean I love you, Anokhi. Like seriously. Not possible. How will you say?)

Earlier she has dreamt of Shaurya. She likes him, he's her husband so why not? But none were this intense and intimate as this one. She doesn't know what to make out of this. Where is this relationship heading to? She felt an uneasy feeling eating her from within.

Unaware to her, a confused smile blossomed on her lips. She somehow liked this weird discomfort feeling. When she realized she's smiling, Anokhi buried her face in her palms, trying to fight the ajeeb sa feeling that ate her from inside. Sleep was far away now.

Shaking her head, Anokhi looked at time. It was nearly 7. She got out of bed and properly covered Shaurya in the duvet while caressing his hair with a smile. When she realized what she did, she moved back and walked towards the windows and opened the curtains, took her clothes and walked inside the washroom to get ready for the day.

Anokhi opened her bag and took out her outfit for the evening. She and Shaurya has planned to go out. So, she wanted to get everything ready before they go. She placed the saree on the bed along with her accessories.

Anokhi's first choice of clothing was lehenga but when she discussed it with Rama, her mother suggested her to go on with Saree. Although she has no idea how to drape one, she decided to wear Saree for the function.

"Anokhi, I have left my towel on the bed. Pass it to me"

Anokhi turned around to find Shaurya peeking from the bathroom door, his upper body glistened with water droplets while few fell from his hair. Anokhi's throat ran dry as her eyes roamed on Shaurya, her mind going back to her dream.

Shaurya looked at Anokhi, an amused smile playing on his lips. She was openly ogling at him.

"Anokhi, towel dena" He bit back his smile and asked her again which pulled Anokhi out of her trance. (Anokhi, give me towel)

"Haa... haan" Anokhi stammered as she took the towel at the edge of the bed and walked towards the bathroom.

Staring down, she extended her towel in front of Shaurya. As she waited for Shaurya to get the towel from her, Shaurya looked at Anokhi and can't fight the smirk that escaped his lips. He could see how much he has affected her.

Shaurya leaned towards Anokhi a little and shook his head. As a result, the water droplets in his hair splashed on Anokhi who shuddered and looked up at Shaurya who had a playful smile dancing on his lips.

Anokhi opened her mouth and then closed while Shaurya took the towel from her hand and closed the bathroom, not before giving a playful wink to Anokhi. Her mouth formed a perfect O as she stared at the closed bathroom.

As Anokhi calmed down a bit, her hand instinctively goes to her neck. As she rubbed off the water from her neck, a shy smile adorned her lips. Shaking her head, she moved towards bed to complete her work.

After breakfast, promising Ahir and Nisha that they'll be back on time Shaurya and Anokhi left from the hotel to roam around the city. Anokhi expressed her desire to visit Gurdwara Dukh Nivaran Sahib so Shaurya first took her there.

After praying there, they then left for the Sheesh Mahal, also called as the palace of mirrors. They roamed around the mahal, talking about history, art and architecture. They took lot of selfies. Anokhi put her photography skills into effect and took few solos of Shaurya.

"Aap na is pic ko upload kijiyeh" (You upload this pic)

Anokhi was showing a pic to Shaurya but mistakenly pressed the power button. She turned the screen towards him for him to punch the pin code while turning her face away. Shaurya noticed this and smiled.

Shaurya held Anokhi's chin and turned her face towards the screen. Anokhi looked at him puzzled.

"0918"

"Huh?"

"Pin code"

Anokhi realized what Shaurya's referring to. She beamed at him and punched in the pin code. As they walked to the front of the Sheesh Mahal, Anokhi's eyes fell on the Ice Gola stall. Her eyes lit up.

"Shaurya, aayeya na. Let's have Ice Gola" Anokhi said excitedly "Mujhe bahat pasand hai" (Shaurya, come. Let's have Ice Gola. I love it)

Shaurya was about to refuse but Anokhi dragged him towards the stall.

"Anokhi"

But Anokhi was in no mood to listen. She dragged him to the stall and quickly placed her order.

"Aap kounsa flavor lenge?" Anokhi asked Shaurya. (What flavor would you like?)

"Mein yeh sab nahi kha tha" Shaurya said keeping a straight face. (I don't eat this)

"Haww yeh toh bahat tasty hothi hai. Aap kyun nahi khathe ho?" (This is very tasty. Why don't you eat?)

"Bas, nahi katha" Shaurya eyed at the vender, not wanting to hurt his feelings. He saw how excited Anokhi was so he said "Tum khao" (I don't eat. You eat)

Anokhi shrugged and got her Ice Gola from the vendor. She had this big smile plastered on her face and her eyes lit up as she relished the taste of Ice Gola. A smile tugged at the corner of Shaurya's lips which grew into a full smile.

"Too good" Anokhi said eyeing at Shaurya "You're missing out on this, Shaurya"

Shaurya shook his head while laughing. Just then an idea popped in his mind as a naughty smile played on Shaurya's lips. He's always ready to tease Anokhi. Shaurya gripped Anokhi's wrist and stopped her from eating Ice Gola.

"Yeh aap kya kar rahe hain?" Anokhi asked puzzled. (What are you doing?)

Without replying her, Shaurya brought her hand closer to his mouth. He leaned in and sucked on the Ice Gola while looking at Anokhi who looked at him surprised, a strange feeling knocking at the pit of her stomach.

"Sahi kaha tune, Anokhi. Tasty toh hai" Shaurya said with a smirk while releasing her wrist. (You were right, Anokhi. This is tasty)

Anokhi's cheeks started turning red. She narrowed her gaze as she tried to control the burst of feelings within herself.

"Aap na, kuch bhi bol lete ho" Anokhi nervously looked around "Chaliyeh, chalthe hain" (You just say whatever you want to. Come. Let's go)

"Yeh lijiyeh" Shaurya paid the vendor and turned towards Anokhi "Chale?" (Have this. Let's go?)

Anokhi looked at Shaurya and nodded while a nervous smile. As they walked to the parking, Anokhi started eating the Ice Gola, a shy smile on her lips as she remembers what Shaurya did. Shaurya who saw this from the corner of his eye, smiled to himself while a playful smile stayed on his lips.

Shaurya took out water bottle from the car and washed his face. He poured some to Anokhi so that she can wash her hands and face. As they were about to leave Sheesh Mahal, Shaurya got a call from Tej who asked him to go to SIAC campus in Patiala for an important work.

"Agar important kaam na hota toh tujhe nahi bulatha" Tej said so Shaurya agreed. (If it wasn't important, I wouldn't have called you)

Shaurya decided to drop Anokhi at the hotel and then go to the campus. But Anokhi wanted to come along to the Patiala campus so she convinced Shaurya to take her with him.

"Sorry, mere waje se humhare plans cancel ho gaya" Shaurya apologized as they started from the Sheesh Mahal. (Sorry, because of me our plans got cancelled)

"Why are you apologizing? Koi bath nahi hai" Anokhi assured him. (No problem)

They soon reached SIAC, Patiala. As Shaurya was immersed in work, Anokhi waited for him in the conference room. It took him two hours to finish his work. By the time Shaurya came, Anokhi was sleeping. He had no heart to wake her but they have to leave soon. So, he woke up Anokhi.

On their way back to the hotel room, they had a simple lunch of Anokhi's choice. They met with Ahir on the hotel lobby and chatted for a while before they left to their room to rest before getting ready for the engagement party.
