23| Shootout.
"Stay with me, I need you
Look at me, I plead you
Hold me close, I love you"
I scoop her in my arms, she curls herself in me and hides her face in my chest as I carry her towards the bathtub. My hold isn't tight to apply any kind of pressure on her already exhausted body, but firm enough to support her and cling her to me.
Holding her close, as I reach the bathtub, I lean down to set the temperature of water and once it's done, I check if it's suitable according to her need or not, and then I carefully lay her inside it.
I rest her head on my arm instead of the hard surface of the tub and sit beside the tub, I gently start cleaning her.
The exhaustion on her pale face is evident as she keeps her eyes close and stays still. Meanwhile, my hands move throughout her bare body, her shoulders, arms and back, massaging gently as much as I can. The water is warm enough to provide some sort of relief to her tensed muscles.
I pick the body wash from aside and start applying over her soft skin, making sure not to cause any kind of irritation to her. My fingers and palm slip from her belly to her breasts as I apply the body wash there more carefully, cleaning my cum and the remnants of love making.
As my hand moves between her thighs, she cries out in pain and my heart clenches.
(Play "Dil mein ho tum" by armaan Malik as bg music)
I lean over and place a kiss over her cheek, I sweep the wet hair clinging to her face behind her ear and say "shh baby, it won't hurt.. let me clean you"
Her tear filled eyes remain close as I clean the area between her thighs carefully, Once I'm done cleaning her body.
I pick the hair wash from the side of the tub and evenly apply it through her hair.
My fingers move gently and slowly through her scalp, massaging and cleaning it.
After that, I rinse it off her hair and pick her up from the tub by holding her waist with my single arm, she wraps her legs around my torso and arms around my neck, while her head rests on my shoulder as I step towards the warm shower.
As I sit her on the counter, she remains clinging to me for support, her body and legs are still shaking.
Without moving away from her, I turn on the warm shower and start massaging and cleaning her body.
The warm water body snipes through our bare entangled bodies and she shivers, I detach slightly and take her face in my hands, kissing all over her face gently, her cheeks, eyes, forehead and then peck her lips.
Her bent lashes flutter as the water droplets travel from her face to her velvety body. Once I'm done cleaning her thoroughly and myself too, I wrap a towel around my waist and pick a soft fabric bathrobe and make her wear it.
I lift her up, holding her close to me, I make my way out, hiding her in my embrace.
Reaching in the room, I make her sit in bed and bring a hair dryer, a loose comfortable dress for her and an ointment from the closet.
Keeping all these things aside. I dry her hair with the dryer, my fingers steadily moving between the long strands of her golden brown hair.
After drying her hair, I make a messy bun of them so they don't cause any irritation to her.
She doesn't lift her head while my eyes never leave the sight of her angelic face.
As I open the knot of her bathrobe and take it off her body, shyness takes over her face which I can clearly see.
Throwing the robe aside, I press a kiss against her cheek and whisper near her face "Nothing is hidden from me, I've already explored and devoured every part of your body" I lean further, my lips nearly touching hers "very thoroughly" my voice low and husky.
Her cheeks turn crimson but she doesn't lift her eyes.
I kneel down in front of her to apply the ointment over her most sensitive part, while she keeps holding my shoulders. As my fingers come in contact with her swollen cunt, she tightens her hold over my shoulders and closes her eyes tightly to suppress the scream.
I look back at her, her crimson cheeks, fluttering wet lashes, and the after bath glow over her face make me forget everything.
My orbs freeze at her sight. She's so beautiful, so fine and I can't get enough of her ever. I've never even glanced at any woman, but she, she's the one from whom I can't take my eyes off ever.
This woman, she holds the power to both ignite and calm the sadist beast inside me. She doesn't realise what she's to me, she can be both my salvation and destruction and I'll gladly let her destroy me to all she wants, but never leave feeling her, possessing her.
Controlling myself when it comes to her is impossible for me and I'll gladly cross every fucking limit if it means to keep her all mine, to keep her only for me.
I hate when she tries to push me away, especially when I know she's forcing herself to do this shit, she didn't want that. She needs to understand that she can't get rid of me.
Never.
I take her hand in mine and kiss it gently and whisper "Relax, wife.. it's done"
Keeping my eyes intact to her face, I gently apply the ointment over her cunt and she digs her nails in my shoulders, some more tears slide down her bend lashes. Once done applying the ointment evenly, I stand up and step towards the bathroom to clean my hands.
Returning to her, I make her wear that dress which effortlessly covers her thighs up to her knees.
My bite marks which are turned into a shade of blue until now, adorning almost every corner of her milky white body.
She looks so cute like this, just like a newly blossomed delicate flower.
So fucking tempting and so fucking mine.
"You.. You are a monster" she whispers, without lifting her head while her hands are still on my chest as she is standing on her knees in bed, her thin voice barely audible.
"I know" I lean over her face and peck her lips and whisper in her ear "And I'm yours too" I kiss her earlobe before detaching. she lifts her eyes up to mine, a slight flush creeps over her beautiful face and I smirk.
Keeping my eyes on her flushed face, I pull out my phone to order food for her. Call picks within a single ring and I order "One hot chocolate, one honey cake without cranberries, in my room within two minutes" I know she's allergic to cranberries and I can't take any risk on her health.
Within two minutes, the door knocks and I order them to come inside. A lady servant walks inside carrying food trolley with her head bowed, after arranging everything on the coffee table, she leaves the room immediately.
Without saying anything, I lift her up and sit on the sofa after settling her on my lap, while she keeps staring at me. I can sense the hesitation crawling over her face as I'm just in a towel and she's on my lap, my innocent wife.
I lean over her face and bite the tip of her nose, she rubs her nose, grimacing at me, she snaps "Aren't you done kissing and biting me?"
"I will never ever get done with my wife" I say with a smirk and bite her cheek.
"Aayansh, stop it.. it hurts" she grimaces at me irritatedly, caressing her cheek, she whispers "I'm hungry"
I cut the piece of honey cake with the fork and took it to her mouth, she takes the bite obediently while my eyes scans her face with depth as I feed her with my hands.
My one hand slips inside her T-shirt, caressing her waist gently, meanwhile she's completely engrossed in enjoying her food and I- enjoying the sight in front of me.
"You want to eat?" She asks me, and when she lifts her hand to clean the honey from her lips, I hold her hand saying "I prefer my sweet dish more" without giving her any chance to react, I capture her lips in mine and she tightens her hold over my shoulders.
I lick and suck the honey from her tender lips and pull away, keeping my lips against hers, I whisper "Delicious" Fluttering her lashes, she looks at me with a flushed face.
The ringing of my phone catches my attention and as my gaze falls on the name flashing over the screen, my eyes turn cold and my jaw clenches.
But I ignore it for now as my priority is her at the moment who is staring at me.
I grab the glass of hot chocolate and take it to her lips, she drinks it with slow sips.
Scooping her in my arms, I walk towards the bed, holding her close to me, I lay in the bed and move my fingers within her hair gently, I say in a serious yet calm tone "Sleep wife, you need rest, we'll leave within a while"
She glances at me once and closes her eyes, her head resting on my bare chest and her legs around my waist. Once I feel her steady breath flowing on me and that she's asleep, I try to get up, making sure that I don't disturb her sleep.
Standing up from the bed, I press a kiss against her forehead and cover her with a blanket before heading towards the closet to wear my pants and make my way out.
Ringing of my phone halts my thoughts, this time it's Asher, I pick it up and order "Open all the exits of the cruise" my voice is cold and commanding.
"Got it boss" He acknowledges instantly and his voice wobbles as he continues "B.. boss, more than half of our ships had a massive blast, all the men are killed and the export Material is completely destroyed, I think all this has been done by the AJ"
My lips curl into an evil smirk as I say "Wrong Asher, the one who has done all this is here, on the cruise only.
" I turn on the Television in the front wall, displaying the complete fore view of the cruise, my evil smile deepens after noticing the demeanors of men dressed both casually and specifically in uniform.
"Make sure that no single person can leave the cruise without my consent.
" Concluding myself, I hung up the call.
Standing at the balcony, I lit up my cigar and press it between my lips. My demeanor is void of any emotions as I exhale the smoke in air and stare up at the dark sky, my mind calculating all the ups and downs which are going to happen within a while.
???
It's around 2.14 A.M as of now.
In the basement of the same cruise, Five men are sitting, A mix of Fear and evilness dripping from their faces. The man sitting in the centre is Andrew Carson and with him, his son Aaron Carson, the other three are known mafias. Chilling silence and darkness covering the place like a thin sheet.
In the underworld, most of the mafias hide their real identity as it can be both their cause of death and destruction, not just of theirs, but the ones connected to them also.
"Not the queen, didn't you see how he brutally killed Eliot just because he asked him to leave her" Carson exclaims, his tone tinged with terror and anticipation "Targeting her means inviting a brutal death, he won't leave any one of us if he found a minor scratch on her"
"Father is right, we just need to weaken him somehow" Aaron adds "Our men have been deployed all over the cruise, and we will begin the shooting after sealing all the open exits, so that they won't get any chance to reciprocate."
"You both father and son are out of your mind" A man dressed in black says, his voice is tense and calm "Do you even realise what you are doing, and you think you will succeed in this... don't expect anything from me"
"Calm down, Bruno. I've planned everything mindfully, everyone must be thinking that the attack will be on departed ships, which will surely be, but we will attack here too.
" Carson explains, though his expressions are firm but his voice is wobbly as he knows what he's doing and what are the brutal consequences of it.
"You are straight away inviting our death, Carson. King won't leave any of us, and you very well know you won't succeed in this stupidity" another man mumbles, his tone thick and severe in anticipation.
"You bastard-" Aaron growls on him but Carson hinders him saying "Calm down, son. This is not the time to fight with each other"
He turns his attention towards those three "You can't back out now, you have to support us"
"What if we get caught?" Bruno frowns, his tone laces disbelief and resignation.
"We won't surrender in any case, if we get caught, then I will attack with Ivaan again, his men are also here." Aaron declares, taking the sip of his whisky, his face drips evil and his carnal intentions.
"All our men have a mini microphone hidden in their uniforms, we will indicate to them through that when and where to attack, we will attack simultaneously, clear?" Aaron concludes, hiding his gun in his blazer as he stands up.
He takes his phone out and calls Ivaan, he picks in the third ring and Aaron says "I need your men, Ivaan, ask them to be ready and alert"
???
After almost two hours.
Here in the party hall, where people are engrossed in their deeds, enjoyments and fulfilling their plannings, completely unaware of what is going to happen here within a fraction of minutes.
In one swift moment, everything turns into a deadly scenario when the sound of gun firing, screams and explodes replaces the sound of music. People start rushing here and there, hiding themselves behind pillars or whatever coming in their Sights.
As no one here is a normal person, instead they are mafias and well trained to handle the situations of mafia gang war like these, they take out their weapons and reciprocate sharply. But everything happened within a blink of an eye that many couldn't even process and lost their lives.
The normal waiters, staff people and some mafia gangsters who are actually trained shooters and also Aaron's and Ivaan's men are shooting whoever comes in their sights, without caring about their own lives.
This is no less than a shock to people present here as it's completely unexpected and left them bewildered and terrified.
Within minutes, the place covers with a bunch of corpses and injured people screaming in pain or for help, but this doesn't stop those shooters as they spread throughout the cruise, killing and shooting everyone in sight.
Their guns aren't normal guns, the one bullet of these guns are enough to snatch anyone's breath within seconds.
Hiding behind the places, many bravely reciprocate those men, piercing and shoving their heads with their bullets.
Ivaan Morozov, who is enjoying this deadly scenario on the big screen in front of him in his room, drinking whiskey and an evil grin curling his lips as he calls Aaron, he picks in the second ring and growls from the other end "You bastard, you cheated me.
. your men are pointing their guns at me, stop them I'm warning you fucker"
Ivaan chuckles, taking the sip of his whiskey "Come on, Carson.
You are a literal fool, you know that?" He glances back at the screen, his grin deepens "You yourself are a part of the underworld and forgot one thing, trusting another mafia is stabbing a dagger in your own chest, and you did that successfully, My friend. "
"You mother fucker, I won't leave-"
He cuts him off "You are irritating me Carson, Don't worry, my men won't kill you, This pleasure is mine." He hangs up the call.
"Now it's time to play with the king." He says, his face dripping with evilness and severity.
???
Here, In one side where arsh is hiding himself behind a pillar in an open exit of the outer cruise, shooters are here too. He didn't take out his gun because Inayat is with him.
"Wh.. what is happening arsh? I- I'm scared" she stammers, tightening her grip on arsh's tricep, terror hovering her face at a complete tailspin and her voice breaking with dry breath. She's completely hidden behind arsh and has curled herself in him.
"Bow down, Inayat" arsh growls as soon as his gaze falls on bullets aiming at the corner they're hiding themselves.
They both bow down and fortunately, those bullets hit the wall behind them.
The moment arsh realises hiding here won't help, without saying anything, he takes Inayat's hand in his and they both crawl towards the safer exit.
After reaching a little safe place, he takes Inayat's terrified face in his hands and says "Just be here until I comeback to you" he takes a step forward in urgency but inayat holds his hand more tightly, her body shivering with fear as she stutters "B.. but arsh, you-"
Arsh takes her hand in his and looks into her eyes, trying to build trust and comfort among them, he whispers "Please, angel.. trust me, be here until I come back" she nods in response and leaves his hands.
It is so true that she trusts arsh more than anyone or anything in this world as he's the one who brought her into the light of this world, and this evil is another dark side of this.
Reaching a little away, arsh takes out his gun, his demeanor fearless and firm as he loads the bullets, hiding himself behind the wooden wall.
He pulls out and aims his gun at men hiding behind a pillar aside a corner, as that man peeks out his head, arsh shoots at his head, the bullet hits between his eyes instantly.
Arsh scans the area around, his gaze desperately searching for someone but all he can see is blood, bodies and killers all around.
He moves ahead, his eyes roving throughout, calculating and assessing any possible threat and as he feels someone's presence behind him, within a blink of an eye, he turns and shoots on the man's head behind him before he can even fetch another breath.
Here, Inayat who is sitting in the corner, shuddering with fear and shock, stands up somehow and peeks her head out.
Her eyes are desperately looking for arsh, but only founds a deadly scenario around her.
This blood isn't any new thing for her, she has seen brutal killings, blood and bodies since a very delicate stage of her life, and these things haunt her soul to the core.
Her steps falter and her whole body trembles as she moves forward in search of arsh, she's worried what if something happens to him. Her tear filled eyes roving throughout as she shudders with every step she's taking.
All of a sudden, The shooting starts again in full swing as Ivaan's men enter this area, hearing the sounds of these gunshots, she freezes at her place, tears start welling down her eyes and she covers her ears with both her hands and squeezes her shut as she's standing at mid of all this.
???
Tara who is sitting in the car, peeks her head out to look at Aayansh who is standing a Little distance away from the car, he's talking on call, his expressions cold and firm as he looks back at her and she turns her head towards the other side instantly, meanwhile Aayansh's eyes remain intact to her.
They left the cruise a few minutes ago as Tara wanted to go home and Aayansh didn't want to leave her alone so he took her out.
Asher and Rivaan are on the cruise only.
Within a blink of an eye, around 27 cars rush and surround them by all sides. Men dressed in all black with guns storms out, their aim is clear at Aayansh but no single of them raise their guns on him.
Tara who is completely bewildered by all this, freezes at her seat. Fear and shock takes over her face as her eyes meet with Aayansh who is in front of her, a slight distance away where these men and their cars are surrounding them from all sides.
But everything turns when Ivaan steps out from one of those car and walks towards Aayansh, his demeanor confined and calculative as he reaches in front of Aayansh.
Both his hands are in his pockets and an oblique deep smirk curling his lips as he says "Did you like the surprise, Aayansh Oberoi or I can say 'The king'?"
Aayansh's face remains unreadable and fearless as his dark eyes meet with Ivaan.
"How does it feel when death is surrounding you from all sides?" Ivaan scoffs, twitching his gun, he points it at Aayansh's head, his expressions turn serious and cold.
Tara who is witnessing all this, her heart starts palpitating slowly inside her chest as she sees Aayansh at the gun point. Her whole body trembles with fear of the thought of something happening to Aayansh. Tears start pooling down her eyes but no single word escapes her throat.
Her senses went block on the sudden change of the scenario, she opens the door slowly to take a step out and just then shooting starts in a swift moment, filling the calm environment with deadly terrifying sounds.
