Chapter 38 Take care, My Love!
Grasping the changes in her emotions, his lips curled upwards. “My revelation shocked her.” He’s trying to control the smile that’s about to burst out, and fake coughed while brushing his nose.
Hearing the sound, she attentively drew her stare onto his eyes, which met with hers.
She was the first person in years to look directly into his eyes without hesitation. It amused and pleased him. This woman was stronger than she looked. Here she sat, doing her best to look blase, covering the fear he knew she must have felt.
“I allowed her to do that because she’ll be mine!! Only she can behave like this with me.” Only for her, his eyes gleamed with tenderness and showered the warmth.
Though she had no way of knowing, he was doing his best to show her a side of himself rarely seen by anyone else.
He moved beside her when her eyes rolled across his movements and her eyes widened. “Relax!” He said in a soothing tone.
By inhaling the intoxicating fragrance from him, a slight chuckle plastered across her lips on remembering their encounters.
Seeing her smile boosted him up. He slowly held her hand while looking at her face with a bright shine in his eyes.
She didn’t object since her eyes were almost closing with the alcohol and slowly leaned on him unconsciously.
Something inside him craved for her. The desire to have her and keep her only to him was growing in him.
“What happened?” He asked, resting his head on hers.
Her hand gripped the tip of his shirt involuntarily, and he melted in her embrace. The care and love he missed over the years came back to him in ten-folds with her small gesture.
She’s landing in his arms unconsciously while mumbling in a sore throat, “lost… job……” He nodded.
She continued, “no love… no money….. betrayed again……” Her mutters quieted when her eyes became moist with the last part.
He was amazed. Instantly his whole body stiffened with her proximity. She gripped his hand tightly and fell asleep in his hands.
“I presume she drank too heavily.” He understood her well and squeezed her shoulder lightly.
“I want to be with you, quietly curling up together to watch a movie. To accompany you when going out in the middle of the night to find munchies.” He mumbled while stroking her hair and inhaling her unique cologne.
“I want to travel with you until we’re old enough to leave this planet. I want to give you all the happiness you deserve in this world.” Held her hands and brushed across her knuckles while patting her back lovingly.
He stared at her for a while. Just by having her by his side, his mood alleviated. Though she’s drunk, her fragrance is like an intoxicating drug to him. Her tiny movements are driving him crazy.
With each passing second, he wants her more and more. He knew only she could present by his side.
“Only for you, my heart will be soft.” He whispered in her ear.
Glancing at her resting peacefully in his arms relieved him. Pecked on her forehead, he lifted and placed her gently in his car deciding to take her home.
At her house
He found the key in her wallet while she was completely unconscious. Took her out carefully in his limbs while his head touching her chest. Her rising and falling breasts were like heaven. Her mumbles drove him crazy.
“I want to take you away and keep you entirely to myself,” Rudra muttered, looking at her as though she were the most precious gift in the world.
Leaning towards the colorful quilt tossed haphazardly at the foot of her bed, he felt a sudden, sharp tug. “Damn it!” The delicate gold clasp of her bracelet snagged on the material of his suit.
Slowly, carefully, so as not to wake her, Rudra pried it from his body. Another look at Tanvi’s slumbering form, and he felt himself relax.
Standing there, he gazed down on her serene face. Strain and worry drained from his rigid, muscular frame, and he felt his heart ease.
Sitting beside her while holding her hand with a firm grip, his eyes glued onto her delicate features when his lips twitched slightly upwards. He brushed her soft lips with his thumb. Dug his finger on her plump cheeks and kissed her knuckles lovingly.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
His obsidian-amber eyes shone brightly seeing her, “she is the most beautiful woman I ever met after my mother.” Rudra thought.
Tilted forward, he nuzzled her bouncy black hair inhaling her fragrance as his life depended on it, and his lips landed on her forehead.
“Sorry for not coming to you earlier. I’ll make sure you’ll soon become Mrs. Ishaan Rudra Chauhan. Take care, My Love!!” He whispered and left.
…
Tanvi rolled across her bed when the bright sun rays were caressing her. Slowly, she hurled the quilt aside and tried to open her eyes, but the hangover struck her, and she groaned. Held her head, she opened her eyes strenuously when the ticking sound of the clock got her attention.
Moved her eyes onto the hanging wall clock, “11:00 AM” She yelled when her eyes widened as the slumber completely vanished. Jumped out of bed in a hurry, she sprained her neck, “Ah! Not now, I’m already late to the office.” She sighed while gripping her hand onto her nape.
Suddenly, the events from her office triggered in her mind. “Oops! I got fired yesterday.” Realization dawned upon her, and she exhaled in helplessness.
Sat upright, she massaged her temples, when her head was hurting pretty badly. “I’m home?” She winced and began brain-storming, but she didn’t remember how?
“I remember… I’m at the slice of the lime bar… boozing out. Then how the hell I’m here now?” She freaked out in frustration since it’s not making any sense to her.
“What the heck happened? Why am I unable to recall anything?” Groaned aloud and threw the pillow aside.
Clasped her hands together, her brows knitted in a panic. She began thinking hard when the images of a man came to her. “Aah!! His face was clumsy to me.” She screamed by being inadequate to pinpoint anything.
Flashes of the moments at the bar appeared in front of her. But the blurred images conceived in her mind weren’t of any help to her.
She reminisced, “A familiar feeling settled in me by looking at him. But who’s he?” After her continuous attempt to find out everything, nothing useful came out. Instead, she felt exhausted since her mind was already in a mess.
Stomped her foot, her eyes scrutinized herself in front of the mirror. “I’m in the same clothes and I’ve no marks on my body.” She sighed, “ah! Thank god.” A glimpse of relief came crashed upon her.
Leaned onto the wall, she turned on the loud music. Hugged her teddy bear and fell on her bed again while enjoying the bass to keep herself occupied since she had nothing else to do.
“However, I’m not yet ready to kick start anything at this moment.” Tanvi ruminated and drifted off.
