When he saw Akshara for the first time in that hospital, the way she talked to him, fearless, the attitude, it invoked something feral in him. Something fierce.

When she came to his office, to sign the contract, the way she signed herself off for her brother made him relate himself with her. Being an elder sibling, he too would do anything for his baby sister.

When he saw her in the hospital next, crying for her brother's life, something in him shifted. He felt something in his heart.

And now, when she looked at him with those fearful eyes, he felt like fucking dying for making her feel that. He didn't want her scared of him. He wanted her to argue with him, talk to him with the sass and anger that she did with.

When his mother died, he was just 8. An enemy mafia had kidnapped her and his father, who was the head at that time, instead of saving her was playing diplomatic. They'd found his mother's body after 3 days. He was very young but he knew well what had happened. Those men had killed his mother. As he grew up he got to know what was not only killed, but also brutally raped and tortured.

Since then, he'd shut his emotions down. He never liked his father but after his mother's death, he started hating him. For him, he was the killer of her mother.

After his mother's death, his father started sleeping around. Seeing women and girls of all age coming in and out of the house every other made him swear off women.

And when he married his step mother, he was angry beyond reason. He'd given his mother's title to some other woman. Lakshay had left his home to live on his own.

And then, two years after his second marriage, the man died, leaving behind his pregnant wife and Lakshay to take over his title as the mafia head.

His father's second wife died during childbirth. And when he held that little baby covered in that soft fluffy blanket, he felt his heart skip a beat. And for the first time in years, he had someone to call his own. By heart.

It felt like his mother had come back. For once, he felt like his father and his second wife did something good by bringing this little life in this world. And he named her after himself, his Lakshita. Also the name of his mother.

But, she! Akshara made him feel all that again. After Lakshita. She invoked the feeling of care in him. He wanted to see her smile and laugh and he'd never fucking wanted that from any woman. He found them annoying.

Her tears made him want to burn everything down, being her everything in the world just to see her smile again. He wanted her to be happy with him. Only him. She invoked his caring and possessive side simultaneously.

No! He couldn't fall weak. This was temporary. A fun thing. A plaything. She was a sextoy for him and he has to remind this to himself. She'd agreed to this.

When she woke up next, she found herself alone in the room. Her gaze fell down to her body and she blushed thinking about the things he did to her body. What she did not understand was why did he stop?

She had thought about it a lot the previous night. Did he stop because he saw the fear in her eyes? Did he stop because of her? All her thinking and pondering upon it made her come to this conclusion.

Then came a thought that he cared about her. But she dismissed the thought as quickly. No! She was just a plaything to her. He might not have wanted to force things on her but that was it. There was no care.

Sighing to herself and feeling funny in her core, she took a warm shower and got dressed. She went to the dining room and saw Ayush already sitting there. He waved at her with a grin while stuffing his breakfast in his mouth making her chuckle.

She too served herself and was about to take the first bite when she heard the elevator ping and there stepped out the devil in all his glory. But he wasn't alone. Akshara frowned seeing the little girl in his arms. Then she realised that it was his sister, whom he'd brought for a bandage that day they met in the hospital.

His smile to the little girl changed into a frown seeing her and Ayush there and she waved at him like Ayush did to her earlier.

"The employee eating area is on that side."

He said pointing towards another door and Ayush made an oh face while getting up. Akshara asked him to sit through his eyes and smiled too sweetly at Lakshay.

"But I am not an employee na. I am your personal assistant. Verrryyyyy close to you......r job."

She teased stressing upon 'personal' a little extra and stretching the 'very' and 'your'. She bit her lip when he glared at her and started eating. Ayush looked at his sister confused. She knew he was going to ask questions later.

Akshara saw his sister looking at the two of them with curious eyes. She smiled widely and leaned towards the little girl.

"Arre! Ye princess kaun hai? Hello, mera naam Akshara hai. Aap kaun ho?"

Lakshita giggled at being called a princess and nestled in Lakshay more. He smiled only to stop when he realised he wasn't alone.

"Mera naam Lakshita hai."

She replied cutely and shook the hand Akshara had put forward. She then turned to Ayush and asked.

"Ye kaun hai?"

"Ye mera chhota bhai hai. Ayush."

Ayush waved at her too, just like he did with Akshara and the girl laughed at his mouth full of breakfast.

Then her expression got serious and she appeared to be thinking something. After a full minute of serious thinking she spoke.

"Aap chhote bhai ho na? Mai bhi chhoti sister hu. Aap aur mai friends ban jaate hai. Aur aap badi sister ho na? Mere bhaiya bhi bade brother hai. Aap aur bhaiya friends ban jaao."

Wow! This girl applied so much mind. Akshara chuckled but then decided to tease Lakshay.

She pouted for extra efforts and said in a sad tone.

"Aap aur mera bhai toh dost ban jaaoge lekin aapke bhaiya mujhse dosti nhi krenge. Mai toh sirf ek employee hu na."

"Nhi nhi! Krenge na! Kroge na bhaiya!"

She replied and then asked Lakshay who was already glaring at Akshara. But did she care? Nah! Was she enjoying? Too much!

"Bolo na bhaiya! Kroge na?"

He nodded tightly and smiled at his sister which looked like he was constipated and made her laugh but she held back. She'd already triggered him a lot.

After Lakshita was off to school, Lakshay went to his cabin. Ayush too got up and looked at Akshara.

"Mai room mai jaa raha hu. Thoda rest krne."

Akshara nodded and just as she was passing his cabin door, she was pulled inside and pinned to a wall. She gasped and looked at the intruder, who was looking at her with a dangerous glare.

"Whatever games you're trying to play, keep my sister out of it."

He warned and she smiled.

"I'm not the one playing games. That's you."

His hold on her loosened just a little bit and his eyes relaxed. But he maintained the expression.

"Its good to see the devil care about someone."

His jaw ticked. This was why he didn't allow anyone to see him before Lakshita. People thought he was falling weak.

"And thank you for caring about my feelings last night."

She whispered and he gritted his teeth getting away from her.

"Care? When did I do that?"

"Why did you stop then?"

"I told you! You wouldn't have been able to handle it."

He closed his eyes when he heard her chuckle. She didn't believe his words. Well, neither did he. He turned to face her again and held her chin.

"I'm not stopping tonight. So prepare yourself. And I want you in the room before I enter tonight. Understood!"

She nodded and bit her lip while leaving the room. Something inside her told her that he did care, even if he said he didn't.

That night, she was in the room immediately after dinner. It was 9:30 when he entered the room and smirked seeing her sitting on the bed.

"Already on the bed I see."

He teased and she blushed, lowering her head.

"I-I was scrolling on my phone."

"Take off your clothes! Leave your panties on and lay down at the center of the bed."

He commanded and she looked at him wide eyed. She bit her lip when he unbuttoned his shirt and went to the closet. She did as he asked and saw him coming out with a big brown box.

"W-what's that?"

He heard her whisper. He almost finished himself in his pants seeing her obeying his words and laying down on the bed. He wanted her there. Always! And the thought scared him.

He put the box down on the bed beside her head. She peeked in and her eyes widened seeing all kinds of toys there.
