No One's POV

Sun rays pierced quite deep through his eyes that morning. He wasn't ready to wake up yet, but he had to. At least to pull the curtains. When he got up, he had his eyes laid upon the most beautiful woman on Earth. Although they have had sex a few times before, but they never slept together even once as she always has to go. She looked as angelic as the first snow flake. He noticed her twitching her eyes and nose because of the harsh Sun rays. He got up carefully not awaking her and pulled the curtains shut. Shivaay hit the bed again only to get her snuggle into him which she involuntarily did. She placed her head on his chest and snaked her arms around his neck. Shivaay pulled her tighter into him.

Om on the other hand was worried as Annie didn't return home the whole night. He was not understanding what to do or where to look for her. All he could do was to pray that Annie doesn't land herself in any kind of trouble which can harm Anika. With no other choice left, Om called up one of his friends and ordered him to track Annie's phone in order to get her GPS location.

The two souls were completely unaware of the storm coming their way and were basking in the glory of their new found love. After a shower together, both Annie and Shivaay ordered breakfast via room service as they were too lazy to go out. Annie was wearing Shivaay's white shirt while he remained shirtless. She was drying her hairs when Shivaay back-hugged her and planted a kiss on his nape.

'Shivaay!!! Stop... you already made me so lethargic last night. Not another round. At least not until I get food!', she warned him.

He ignored her and continued placing wet kisses all over neck and shoulders. After a little while, he rested his chin on her right side shoulder and whispered into her ears.

'I love you Annie! I love you! Last night was one of the best nights of my life and this morning undoubtedly is the most beautiful morning. I want to make love to you all the time. You used to call me your sexmate right? An... I want to be your lawfully legal sexmate. I want to be able make love to you and suck you in different positions, against the wall, on the floor, the staircase, even the elevators, in private and in public until you can't control your orgasms. I want to make love to you until the whole neighbourhood knows my name. Fucking is great, but it's not all I want. I want you as well! The whole of you! Will you be my legally fuckable sexmate???', he proposed to her.

Annie couldn't comprehend what had just happened. It was just last night they confessed and here Shivaay is asking her hand for marriage. She loves him more than anything, but she can't have get into the commitment that she wanted the most with him. She broke their back hug to find a childlike Shivaay. A wide smile and sparkle of hope on his face.

'Shivaay! I love you too but I can't get married to you! There's something I've been hiding from you! I'm... I mean I... I have to...', she couldn't continue her sentence as she was breaking into tears.

Shivaay began to worry for her and made her sit on the bed. He cupped her face and wiped her tears which were keep on flowing.

'Hey, are you okay??? Annie, Annie please don't cry. Please stop crying My Lady. Please. Whatever the problem is, we'll solve it together. You trust me right???', Shivaay consoles her and tries to know the reason behind her tears.

'Shiv... actually...', before she could complete her sentence, the door of their room was flung open. Annie got shocked to see the person at the door while Shivaay was very angered as to how can someone intrude their privacy like this. The person at the door was with red tinged eye, full of anger.

'What the fuck??? Who the he'll see you man??', Shivaay questioned him as he tries to get to the door.

Looking at his sister's clothes, her tears and Shivaay's shirtless avatar, it forced him to think of the worst. Om's rational mind melted and his emotions took over him. Om immediately barred into the room and landed his fist on Shivaay's face making him to hit the ground.

'Shivaay!', Annie called out and rushed to his aid.

'Who the hell are you and why are you hitting me? Are you mad?', Shivaay shouted out. Om made him deaf to Shivaay's scoldings and proceded to punch him more.

'Om stop this please!!! Please stop!!! Don't hit him!!!', Annie begged Om stopped momentarily. His anger was still at peak.

She helped Shivaay to get up. Shivaay just looked at her puzzled as to his she knows this guy and who he is.

'I will not hit him, Anika, but you have to change into proper clothes and come with me right away!', Om ordered Anika right after shooting daggers at Shivaay.

'Hey Annie, would you tell me what's going on? Who is this guy and why are you listening to him, huh?', Shivaay demanded answers from her. Annie stood silently and wept.

'Shivaay, this is my so-called brother, Om... Actually...', Om dragged her away before she could finish her sentence.

'Enough of talking! You!!! Now you know that I'm her brother right? So stay away from my sister!!', Om warned him strictly and dragged  Annie away from there. Annie follows him with silent cry.

Shivaay was so confused at what just happened. Why did the guy called Annie as Anika? What is going on actually? Did Annie used him? Or is she in a deep trouble? His mind was not able to keep quite even for a second after she left.
