Chapter 28
Reyansh
“This guy is sick. You need to step up—Kavya’s life is on the line, and I can’t take any chances,” I say, locking eyes with Officer Viraj as we stand by his jeep.
The fire raging inside me refuses to quiet down as Kavya’s terrified face flashes before my eyes. Her fear tears at my heart, and I’m desperate to be by her side to reassure her—and myself—that she’s safe. But I have to push through this conversation. I won’t rest until she’s out of danger.
He nods. “Mr. Kundra, I’m doing everything in my power to locate him quickly.”
“This time, I need you to take serious action on this case. You let it slip through the cracks once, but I won’t tolerate it happening again,” I say and watch him gulp.
“I did apologise to Kavya, and I apologise to you as well for the oversight last time, Mr. Kundra. Rest assured, it won’t happen again. While I may not have the full support of the police , I have connections that allow me to work on the case discreetly.”
I exhale deeply, rubbing the back of my neck , tension evident in my voice. “ Just keep me in the loop .”
“Of course, I’ll keep you updated. Additionally, if your friend Sidharth uncovers any clues in the video, kindly inform me immediately.”
“I will,” I nod. I have given Nisha’s mobile to Karan, who is now on his way to Sidharth for further examination. Officer Viraj also agreed that Sidharth is the best person for this task since he has the necessary resources at his disposal.
“We’ll get him, Mr. Reyansh.”
“I know we will. There’s no other option,” I state firmly, my voice taking on a steely edge , not bothering about sounding arrogant or rude. My point is crystal clear— my focus is solely on ensuring Kavya’s safety. Nothing else matters. Done with the conversation, I add, “As much as I wish I could stay and talk more, Officer, I need to be with Kavya now.”
He nods and clears his throat. “Of course, Mr. Reyansh. I’ll make a move, but I’ll stay in touch,” he says before slipping into his jeep and driving away.
I watch the jeep disappear into the distance and run a frustrated hand over my face. It’s daunting not having the answers to ease Kavya’s mind. It’s a damn struggle to figure out how to calm her when uncertainty looms large.
Taking a few deep breaths to steady myself, I make my way to my room, hoping that I can comfort her.
I slowly push open the door to my room and stand there for a moment, feeling my heart squeeze in my chest at the sight before me. The soft light of the night lamp casts a warm glow, illuminating Kavya sitting on the edge of the bed. She’s wearing one of my t-shirts and track pants, a sight that should make me smile, but her red and puffy eyes from crying tug at my heartstrings, causing an ache deep within. Her hands tremble as she holds her knees to her chest, her gaze distant.
It’s fucking torture every time I see her in such a broken state. Steeling myself, I slowly walk over to her. She’s so lost in her despair that she doesn’t even notice me until I’m kneeling right in front of her. I place my hands gently on her knees.
“Kavya,” I whisper. “Please don’t cry, sweetheart. Your tears are breaking my heart.”
She looks into my eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I just... I don’t know what to do,” she says, her voice breaking.
I pull her into my arms, holding her tightly. “You don’t have to do anything. I’ll take care of everything. I’ll take care of you,” I promise softly. “You’re safe, Kavya. I won’t let anyone hurt you.” My grip on her tightens protectively as I speak, the words more for my reassurance than hers.
She buries her face in my neck, wrapping her arms around me tightly. “I don’t know what I’d do without you,” she whispers, her voice trembling with vulnerability.
I run my hands through her hair gently. “You won’t have to find out. I’m here for you, always. I’m never leaving your side,” I say softly before pressing my lips to the top of her head.
She pulls back slightly, looking up at me. “I can’t... I can’t keep feeling scared. I hate feeling this way, Reyansh.”
“I hate seeing you like this too, sweetheart,” I say, cupping her face in my hands, my thumbs gently brushing away her tears. “This won’t last forever. You won’t have to live in fear for much longer, I promise.”
“I... I need to forget. Just for a little while. Help me forget, Reyansh. I need you,” she whispers, her voice cracking, her hands shaky as she fumbles with the buttons of my shirt.
When she manages to unfasten the first button, my heart stills in my chest. I gently take her hands in mine, stopping her. “Kavya, I know you’re hurting emotionally, but this isn’t the answer.”
“Please, Reyansh,” she begs, her eyes filled with desperation as she looks at me. “I need you. I need to feel something other than this fear. Just for tonight, please.”
My heart clenches at her plea. I know she’s hurting, and I want nothing more than to take away her pain. And I’ve been waiting for this day with bated breath, for the perfect moment to make her mine. However, I don’t want our intimacy to be solely driven by fear and the heat of the moment. I need her to be fully present and sure, not driven by her current vulnerability.
“Kavya, we shouldn’t. It’s not the right time,” I try again gently, my thumb caressing her cheeks.
“I don’t care, Reyansh. Just make me forget. Please don’t reject me now when I need you the most,” she says, tears streaming down her face.
That’s all it takes for my resolve to crumble and my willpower to go out the window. Her desperation cuts through me like a knife. I’m aware of the line we’re about to cross, something we can’t come back from, but the raw pain in her eyes is too much to bear.
“Never. I could never reject you, Kavya,” I say, my voice thick with emotion. “You’re all I want,” I whisper against her lips before capturing them in a searing kiss. Her hands clutch my shirt as she responds with desperation. My hands roam over her back, pulling her closer as I deepen the kiss, our tongues entwining in a fervent desire.
I pull away from the kiss, both of us breathing heavily, our chests rising and falling in sync. Keeping my eyes locked on hers, I reach for my shirt and slowly pull it over my head, tossing it to the floor. Rising to my feet, I remove my jeans and boxer briefs, tossing them aside with my shirt, all the while maintaining eye contact with her. My cock is hard and ready for her. I take her hand in mine and guide it to my throbbing hard-on. Her eyes are fixed on my arousal as she bites down on her bottom lip. With a gentle squeeze, I encourage her to stroke me, and she takes over hesitantly. Her small hands move from root to tip, sending waves of pleasure through me and driving me wild.
“I want to see you… all of you,” I whisper as her eyes meet mine.
“O-okay,” she says breathlessly.
Without breaking eye contact, she slowly rises to her feet, and with trembling hands, she lifts the hem of my shirt that she’s wearing over her head , leaving her in just a bra and track pants. My breath hitches as I take in the beauty before me. I can’t count how many times I’ve imagined having her like this, all to myself, and now here she is, mine for the taking. The desire to make her mine burns fiercely within me.
I clench my fists by my sides , reining in my control, my gaze fixed on her every move as she reaches behind her with shaky hands and unclasps her bra, letting it fall to the floor. Fuck! The overwhelming desire to touch her velvety skin and to taste her sweetness consumes me. However, I remain still, allowing her to undress at her own pace. She shivers slightly as she slides her track pants and panties down her legs.
“Kavya,” I say, my voice raspy as I take in her sexy, naked body. “Are you sure you want this?” I’m surprised by how I have managed to get the words out of my mouth when all I want is to devour her.
“I... I want this... I want you.”
“I don’t want to scare you, but you need to know that there’s no turning back from here, Kavya. When I make love to you, you’re mine, forever. I will not let you go.”
“I am all yours.” Her voice holds no doubt or hesitation. And that’s what I wanted to hear.
Smiling, I lift her gently in my arms and lay her down on the bed. I cover her with my body, feeling the heat of her nakedness against mine , and a fire ignites within me. I run my hand over her body, gently tracing her throat, her breasts, and her stomach, feeling her shiver and gasp as she responds to my touch . Fuck! She is so responsive, and it’s so damn intoxicating.
“You are so beautiful,” I say, bending my head and letting my lips trace over the swell of her breasts, savouring their softness and warmth.
“Reyansh…” she moans, her fingers tangling in my hair as I suck her.
“You are mine. Only mine. Every inch of you is mine,” I say as I nip her nipples before soothing them with my tongue.
“Please,” she says between gasps as her head tosses from side to side.
I trail my hand down her body to her silky warmth and slip my finger inside her. A groan escapes my lips as I feel her hot, tight, and wet core. My lips let go of her breasts and move down her stomach, lower and lower, until I reach her core. Pausing there, I lift my head, and our eyes lock. She looks at me nervously, anticipation and desire shimmering in her gaze.
“Trust me, Kavya, I’ll make you feel good,” I whisper.
She bites her lower lip and nods shyly. I spread her thighs slowly, leaning in to lick and tease her wetness with my tongue.
“Oh…” Her eyes close, and her head drops back as she grips the bed.
I don’t stop. I fucking can’t stop. She tastes so sweet, and I let out a moan, savouring the pleasure of tasting her. I nip at her clit gently, and she gasps, lifting her hips in response. Sensing that she’s close to her release, I pull back before settling between her thighs, ready to claim her. Careful not to crush her, I bring my body close to hers and kiss her deeply.
“It might hurt a bit, but I promise I’ll be gentle,” I whisper against her mouth, the head of my cock rubbing against her entrance.
“I trust you,” she replies softly.
My heart is thundering in my chest as I feel the intensity of her words. I lift my head to watch her face as her eyes close and her nails dig into my back. With my eyes on her, I push inside her for the first time, causing her to cry out. My body stills as her warmth envelops me, and I close my eyes, gritting my teeth to take in the overwhelming sensation. My breathing becomes erratic, and when I open my eyes, I see tears streaming down her cheeks.
“Are you okay?” I ask, worried.
Her eyes meet mine with a smile as she brings her fingers to my cheek, running them down my jaw. “Never been better,” she says softly. Her words only fuel my desire for her.
“I need to move, sweetheart,” I say, my voice husky .
She nods. “Yes, please.”
Gently, I pull out and then thrust back in, repeating the motion over and over until we find a smooth steady rhythm. With her naked beneath me, the sensation of my body pressing against hers, I gaze down and see the point where our bodies meet, and the intensity becomes overwhelming. It’s almost too much, pushing me to the edge of control.
“Come for me,” I order as I lift her legs, sliding in deeper.
“Reyansh,” she moans, and I feel her tightening around me.
Gritting my teeth, I continue thrusting inside her. A tingling sensation shoots down my spine as her nails dig deeper into my skin. Her back arches off the bed, her head thrashing from side to side, and her mouth screams my name as she finds her release. I can’t hold back any longer, and I, too, release inside her, pulse after pulse, while holding myself deep inside until the final spasm of pleasure leaves my body.
Reluctantly, I pull out of her and collapse on my back to catch my breath. Then, I pull her into my arms, embracing her tenderly. Both of us remain silent. Despite my urge to tell her how special this moment is for me, I withhold my words , respecting her need for quiet . Soon, the steady rhythm of her breathing tells me she has slipped into a peaceful sleep.
My lips gently brush against the top of her head, a soft smile playing on my lips as I cherish the peace she brings me. Feeling incredibly happy and content, I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
