CHAPTER – 13.2
She sighed and leaned to take his lips in for a smooch but he turned it into a full-blown kiss and she let him, she gasped feeling him on her back, her cheeks turned red, he explored her mouth deepening the kiss while caressing her tinted cheeks. She fisted his hair pulling him deep into the kiss. She broke the kiss, turned to face him, and before he could take her lips again, she sat in his lap, straddling him, and then pulling him into a kiss again...
Abhyansh groaned feeling her heat on his hardness, he pressed her waist tightly guiding her to move, and she soon picked up the pace... he dropped wet kisses all around her neck and cleavage while his hands roamed around her bre*sts and a*s cheeks, unable to handle the amount of pleasure her husband is giving her, she bit his neck and he groaned speeding up the pace, he pinched her ni**les harshly making her moan loudly... he slowly touched her abdomen under her shirt, and his hand dangerously moved downwards, his long fingers suddenly touched her heat over her undies making her gasp widely...
"Sh... relax... it's just me", he said in his deep voice, pressing his lips on hers, taking her lower lip in his, caressing them softly, she nodded, and he slowly touched her bare womanhood, and soon she was lost in pleasure with her heavy moans and his groans filled the room. But just when she was about to reach her climax, he paused making her open her eyes...
"Will you think of hurting yourself again??", he asked, for a second she didn't understand what was he talking about... after a minute, she understood he was punishing her for her stupidity days back, she is really stupid to think he would let her go after he promised to punish her.
She shook her head, he narrowed his eyes asking her to use words, and only after she promised him, she would never do so, did he resume.
After minutes of extreme pleasure and excitement, she screamed in pleasure climaxing, he ravished her lips seeing the satisfying expression on her face, he is far from done but didn't want to scare her with his need... he is so much aroused at the sight, that he wanted to make love to her then and there, only he knew how he controlled himself...
After she came down from high, she hid herself in his arms, feeling extremely embarrassed for what just happened, the fact that her husband touched in a way even she didn't is making her feel so different... she always held her moans to some extent but this time, she couldn't as the pleasure was unbearable.
"Sh... don't you dare curse yourself for moaning, I love the screams you let out every time I pleasure you Rani sa... I want to hear them, don't ever hold back...", he told her understanding her feelings as he moved a step ahead than every time as he wanted to prepare her for what's coming in the near future. He didn't think he could wait for any longer, as his patience is wearing thin day by day, but only if she wanted it.
"I... Um...Ansh...", she fumbled, she wanted to say a lot of things, she felt so good, she wanted to express all of it to her husband, at the same time slap him for punishing her like this, but no words came out, and he understood her.
"I know...", he said gently, and she cuddled more into him in extreme shyness...
After getting back to normal, Isha slowly slipped out of his arms and rushed to the washroom to clean herself and then came out after changing her inner. She walked so slowly towards the bed like a cat and Abhyansh so wanted to chuckle at how shy and embarrassed she looked, he could only imagine how would she be like when he would do the actual deed.
"My bacha...", he called lovingly, she looked at him, he forwarded his palm inviting her into his arms, and she ran to him hiding herself in his arms...this time he couldn't stop his chuckle... Isha slapped his chest for laughing at her... tears welled up in her eyes and he cursed himself.
"Sh... I'm sorry my wife, you looked cute that I couldn't stop myself", he said apologizing to her...
"You are so bad Rana sa... waise toh kabhi nahi haste aap(You won't laugh at all) but when it comes to me, you laugh even when it isn't necessary... go away", she said pushing him away and she opened her mouth wide seeing him actually going away, but he soon walked back after cleaning himself and she blushed knowing why he went...
He lay beside her and pulled her into his arms...
"Sleep now... you look tired...", he said, kissing her forehead, she kissed his shirt-clad chest and soon dozed off, he slowly pulled away from her and walked back to the washroom, to take care of himself, he closed his eyes imagining his wife, pleasuring him and it didn't take him long.
************
He walked after showering as he smelled of ar**sal. He then switched off his wife's alarm which she put too early to prepare 'Sargi'(pre-dawn meal). He couldn't sleep the whole night as her thoughts kept him awake, both holy and unholy. After a few hours, he woke up, took a bath again, and offered prayers to his Mahadev earlier than usual, then walked back to his chamber and started cooking for his wife...
After he is done, he went and woke his wife up... she opened her eyes but sat up startled thinking she is late...
"Relax... you aren't late, go and freshen up", he said, and she quickly went to freshen up and walked back deciding to cook in their personal kitchen in the chamber as she is late and making a trip to the main kitchen would waste more of her time, but she gasped in surprise when she saw her husband arranging her meal.
"Come here and have a taste of it", he said, she came out of her surprise and nodded at him...
"You didn't have to, Rana sa", she said, smiling at him.
"I had to and I want to Rani sa", he said, kissing her forehead, pulling a chair for her, and making her sit, before serving her the dishes he made. She is overwhelmed by the treatment she is getting from the man who is known as the BEAST by the world but for her, the best husband. People might actually suffer from severe stroke if they witness this angle of her husband. She mentally chided for exaggerating like Reetu.
She had the 'Sargi' appreciating every dish her husband made for her, making him content. He made her eat heavily, though she refused to have any more. Isha was about to go to the kitchen to foresee the arrangements but Abhyansh stopped her asking her to sleep for some more time. She pulled him along, and both of them lay in each other's arms, Abhyansh slowly stroked his wife's hair, making her doze off, and this time, he too slowly fell asleep staring at her serene face.
After some time, Abhyansh woke up, and went to the back palace to do some physical exercise, which is normally sword fight, he believed in traditional ways to stay fit rather than doing gym, he does use gym but mostly he practiced swordsmanship, archery or wrestling or sometimes he challenged his body with some strenuous activities like horseback riding which became rare after Isha came into his life.
Isha woke up after some time, got ready in a red saree, and walked to the main kitchen to prepare breakfast, but before that she made her husband's coffee and walked to their chamber but he was nowhere to be seen, she walked to his office in their chamber, he wasn't there, she frowned. She walked to the West Wing to his study, he wasn't present there either, but she saw the door opening to the passage to the back palace slightly ajar...
Isha is dressed in a stunning maroon synthetic saree adorned with intricate golden embroidery. The saree features delicate floral motifs spread throughout the fabric, giving it a luxurious and traditional appeal. The Pallu is filled with golden heavy embroidery highlighting the crape silk fabric. She wore a heavy choker necklace made of multiple layers of gold beads and pearls and matching gold bangles completing the look.
She fumed in anger at her husband's audacity, just the previous night, he punished her for thinking about self-harm while he does the same now. She put the coffee tray on the table, and tucked the loose end of the saree to her waist, all set to show him hell as soon as he entered inside.
Just then, Abhyansh made his way to the study, his body drenched in sweat, he lost the count of time in swordsmanship since he is doing it after a long time. Looking at his wife walking to and fro, angrily biting her lips, he understood the whole matter. He decided to explain her before she bursts out like a fire bubble but she didn't give him the chance.
"Kaha the aap(where are you??) Why am I even asking?? Don't you feel any shame ha?? You were lecturing to me last night, but what did you do now ?? Why did you go to back palace now ?...", she started her ranting while stomping towards him, slapping his arm furiously and he let her, liking her little act. She winced feeling the burning sensation on her palm, he quickly took her palm in his and kissed gently, she jerked her palm away glaring at him. He sighed before opening his mouth.
"I didn't go there to hurt myself... just a little exercise here and there", he told her calmly...
She thought he went there to remove his frustration and anger on himself for ruining her first karwa chauth the previous year, well he was tempted to do so but he didn't want to worry her so he just refrained from it. That's why resorted to some other strenuous activities.
"I thought... ", she started but couldn't complete it, she felt embarrassed for shouting at him unnecessarily.
"I know...", he said hugging her to his chest, she instantly moved away scrunching her nose.
"You are stinking, go and wash up...", she said he chuckled at her act. "will you have coffee now or after freshening up??", she asked him
"Now", he said settling on the sofa beside, she nodded, walking to the table where she kept the coffee tray, and started making it while he stared at his beautiful wife who is looking even more beautiful in the red saree, and her waist on display due to the saree tugged to her waist. He averted his gaze trying to control his hormones which are on high alert at the sore sight.
Isha walked to him, handed over the coffee to him, he took it, she is about to leave when he pulled her into his lap...
"Abhyansh...", she gasped and got up...
"Stay here till I have my coffee", he asked
"Who will make your breakfast then??", she asked him
"Make something simple, I won't complain", he said, she smiled shaking her head, her husband behaving like a child is very adorable. She sat beside him while he had his coffee staring at her, as if he is drinking her features instead of the hot beverage in his hand...
"S.. Stop staring at me like that", she fumbled unable to take his intense gaze...
"You are beautiful... ", he said, her eyes widened in surprise, he rarely said those words, though his actions and the way he looked at her always screamed how beautiful she looked to his eyes.
"Hm...", she said, looking down trying to hide her blush...
"I want to make love to youIsha...", he said, his tone expressing his extreme desire more than his words ever could... she didn't know what to say, what is she supposed to say?? Is he asking her permission or expressing his desire or both?? She didn't know what to say so she stayed silent pressing her fingers together. "Take your time, there's no rushbacha", he said, thinking she is nervous...
She frowned at his words, why did he say that?? She didn't want time, after the previous night, she felt very close to him and she wanted to take the next step. She felt it's high time they move forward in their marriage.
"Huh??", she asked, and with her reaction, he understood what she wanted, and he decided to have a detailed talk to her that night.
"Nothing", he shook his head... "I'll go and freshen up then", he added but remained seated, she nodded and got up, took the coffee cup from his hands, and walked to the table, collected the coffee tray she brought and started walking to the door when he called her.
"Isha...come here", he said, she frowned in confusion, but nonetheless walked to him standing in front of him, he leaned forward holding her by her bare waist. She gasped at his touch, but did nothing to stop him as her hands were holding the coffee tray. He slowly leaned in, peppering kisses all over her exposed waist, she held her moans but when he kissed her belly button, she couldn't hold back anymore...
"Ansh...", she let out a hushed moan, and that made him stop... he cursed himself for losing control, initially all he wanted to do was just untuck her saree and cover her waist but as always she made him lose his control. He slowly untucked the saree, and covered her waist before leaning back. She turned and walked away unable to control her blush.
Everyone gathered for breakfast, including Ranveer as he wanted to talk to his sister. Abhyansh groaned at the sight of his brother-in-law but stayed calm, not wanting to upset his wife. Isha served him breakfast and stood there beside him. She smiled when she saw her husband eating contently as he didn't even have his dinner properly.
Ranveer glared at his brother-in-law who is eating without any care in the world, while his sister is keeping a fast for him...
After breakfast, Abhyansh walked to his study. Ranveer tried to convince his sister to eat something citing her husband's shamelessness to eat heavily while she is staying hungry for him, she shook her head at her brother's childish attempts and walked inside to pack food for her mother-in-law.
Ranveer understood it's a waste to talk to his sister, so went to have a little chat with his brother-in-law.
"You ate so much while my sister has to stay hungry the whole day for you, this is unfair", Ranveer said as soon as he was allowed into Abhyansh's study.
"What do you want Rajput ?", Abhyansh asked rather patiently as his mood is good with the morning moments he got to share with his wife.
"Either you should fast for her long life too or make her break the fast", Ranveer said
"I don't do such childish things, the ritual is only for women to fast for their husbands, not otherwise, so now, get lost", Abhyansh said dismissing Ranveer.
"You are so mean Ranawat", Ranveer huffed and left the place in annoyance.
Abhyansh knew why the ritual is only for women, Lord Shiva gave this boon to all the women seeing ma Parvati's dedication and love for him. Only women are fortunate to keep the fast for not just their husband's longevity, but for leading a happy and prosperous married life with him. Abhyansh believed in doing things that could make his wife happy and feel his love instead of keeping a fast that would have no meaning and in return only worries her. But he didn't want to explain all this to his brother-in-law, he is free to think whatever he wants, his soft and considerate side is only for his wife.
Abhyansh was leaving for work when he saw Isha handing over Amruta's food to Avyan.
"Avyan... make sure ma eats the food in front of you, I'll finish all the work here soon and come to the hospital, then you can leave for your office", Isha said
"Bhabhi sa... I think you should stay at home, you are fasting today, staying with Ma in the hospital might tire you, don't worry, I'll carry on with my work from the hospital", Avyan said, before Isha could reply, Abhyansh spoke startling both of them.
"Her husband will take care of her for today", Abhyansh spoke, Devyani Devi who made her way to volunteer to stay in the hospital with her daughter-in-law heard what Abhyansh said, a small smile formed on her face before she composed herself. Abhyansh purposely took that decision, from the day that incident took place, Pratap always avoided Amruta on every Karwa Chauth, and this had hurt her a lot, when Isha told him about Amruta's pain the previous night, something moved in him, the stone of emotions for his mother finally started melting, courtesy, his wife. And on observing the same, Devyani smiled in relief.
"Rana sa, how can Sasur sa go ?? He...", Isha is concerned for her father-in-law, how can he help Amruta when he himself is on wheel chair and needs someone to help him most of the time.
"He will manage", he said sternly to his wife so that she wouldn't argue further before turning to his grandmother... "inform your son, tell him it's my order", Abhyansh said and walked away, Isha sighed before running behind him... Avyan put the packed food on the table and after informing his grandmother, he too left for work.
"Abhyansh... please try to...", Isha started, trying to make him revert his orders.
"You are fasting, how can I let you go there... and Avyan has many important meetings, and there is nothing much to do in the hospital, just sit there with her, he can do that much for his wife, he keeps avoiding her this day every year, maybe if he stays with her this time, she would be at peace", Abhyansh said it finally, to convince his wife, otherwise she keeps worrying about her father-in-law's comfort.
Isha gave an appreciative smile to him for thinking so much about his mother, he shook his head at her. He is doing this for her more than his mother...
"Come home early in the evening...", she said, though she never had to tell him that, as he is always on time...
"Ji Rani sa(Yes my queen)", he said giving her a quick bow.
"What are you doing ?? This isn't our chamber", she said looking around if anyone witnessed.
"But you are my queen everywhere", he said and walked away, shocking her...
Did he no longer care about his BEAST image ?? He is ready to bow in front of her without caring about the audience ?? She shook her thoughts away and walked in, to carry on with the rest of the work...
Isha got the arrangements done for all the female staff in the palaces to celebrate 'Karwa Chauth' in the main palace instead of the servant quarters like they do every year. Devyani Devi is proud of Isha for using all the love and respect Abhyansh gave her in a right way, for people's welfare.
"Isha... go and get the mehendi(henna) done...", Devyani told Isha who is making her way to the kitchen...
"But Dadi sa, what about lunch ??", Isha asked puzzled.
"I'll prepare it, go now", Devyani said shocking everyone, she never prepared a meal after her husband passed away. She did help Amruta sometimes but never a meal...
"Dadi sa... you don't have to, I'll quickly do it, till then the other ladies can get their mehendi done", Isha said, knowing her husband is gonna get upset as he loves to eat only the food made by her.
"Isha, you are the queen, it will start with you, go now, I'm sure my grandson can manage without your food for a day", Devyani said, with a little teasing tone, shocking Isha, others tried to stop their giggles as laughing at the king's expense might become very costly for them...
"Okay", Isha said, hiding her blush and embarrassment, and walked away to the main hall...
Devyani informed her son about the king's order, Pratap fumed at his son for making him do the thing he hates the most, i.e looking at his wife's face on this particular day, but since it's the king's order, he obliged and went to the hospital with the food his daughter-in-law packed for his wife.
Amruta is shocked to see her husband in her ward that too on this day, but he soon shattered her hopes by informing her, he was only there because her son ordered him. Amruta nodded, and waited for a nurse to come and feed her food, but when no one came, Pratap sighed and helped her eat the food, as Devyani told him to make sure she eats her food before a certain time as instructed by the doctor. Amruta cannot be any happier, when he fed her, after years, she felt a fraction of her husband's and elder son's love for her. She knew why her son might have sent Pratap to her, she thanked God for sending Isha in her son's life, as all the changes she is seeing is because of her.
Isha is worried for her mother-in-law, but she is hesitant to call her father-in-law as she never called him before, but she must check up on her mother-in-law. She called Pratap after contemplating a lot.
"Hello...", Pratap's stern tone startled her...
"Sasur sa... I... it's Isha, this side", she fumbled
"Yes, Rani sa", he said bitterly, remembering how his son asked her to address 'Rani sa'
"Sasur sa, please call me by my name... I'm sorry to trouble you, I just called you to check on ma...", she said hesitantly... Pratap too sighed hearing her tone filled with affection and respect for him, he didn't expect her to respect him when his own sons didn't.
"Hm... she is fine, I gave her breakfast and doctor gave her the daily dose of injection just half an hour ago", he told her...
"Oh okay... did the doctor say anything else about the change of medicines or anything else ??", Isha asked politely
"Yeah, he was telling about some physiotherapy, not now, but after a while when she gets discharged, he said he would speak to you or Avyan about it again", Pratap detailed
"Oh okay, I'll speak to the doctor tomorrow, I'm sending your lunch along with ma's, please have it, I'm sending your medicines as well, please take them... I apologize for troubling you Sasur sa", Isha spoke surprising him... how did she know about his medicines ??
"Okay", Pratap said and hung up...
He sat there thinking something deeply, he didn't hate Isha personally, his hate was for her father... and now Isha's kindness is gradually cracking that wall, he could feel it...
"What are you thinking ?? Is there a problem ??", Amruta who was so surprised and happy seeing her husband properly conversing with their daughter-in-law maybe for the first time, questioned him...
"How does she know about my medicines and all ??", he asked
"I told her, she keeps asking about you and Ma sa(Devyani) since you people won't talk to her much, she wants to know you people, she wants to be responsible and take care of you when needed", Amruta said and Pratap nodded...
"How did your son get so lucky despite being an a** all his life ?", Pratap asked and Amruta didn't like how her husband talked about their son...
"Abhyansh isn't bad, he is just a bit rude, and you know why he is like that...", Amruta said
"Yeah, people's betrayal made him the BEAST to them, but he still loved his family, then you...", he started, but knowing the rules, he stopped himself, he cannot ever talk about it, it's his son's order.
Amruta sighed in frustration, she so wanted to clear everything to them, she is not what they are thinking, but her son's one rule snatched from her the chance to explain...
