After 3 months...

They got closer and closer to each other, drowning in love. Sugandha grew bolder as the days passed. Rudra was more than pleased about it.

Today, all of the family members were visiting the nearest temple to get blessings and also make memories as a family. Sugandha wore a saffron-colored saree, which was making her look like a goddess.

Rudra entered into his room with a cloth wrapped around his waist. The water beads were dripping down his body, as he just took a bath. Sugandha can't help but ogle at her own husband, her core already throbbing.

Rudra was busy drying his hair with a cloth; Sugandha stepped closer to him and gulped. She bit her lower lip while looking at his muscles. The tanned skin around his biceps and also his scars were making him look even more manly.

"Aaj kuch zyada hii tadd nahi rahe ho?" Rudra spoke with a hint of teasing.

"Aapni pati ko na tadoo toh aur kisko tadoo?" Sugandha pouted.

Rudra immediately wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her flushed against his form.

"Jaan lelunga uska. Tumhari ankhe sirf humko hii dekhenge." Rudra spoke with a possessive edge in his voice.

For some reason, it didn't frighten her; instead, she was even more turned on. She leaned closer and whispered "humari Jaan ko bhi aap le sakte ho"

Rudra broke into a low chuckle and scooped her up. "Jaisa aap chahe"

He then kissed her hard while clutching her waist like a vice.

Then they heard a loud scream, which made their heads turn towards the door. Poor Tulasi was standing there with her eyes closed tight and hiding her face with her palms.

Rudra immediately stood up and turned away with a bright pink face.

"Abhi aana tha kya" he muttered to himself while palming his forehead.

Sugandha rushed to Tulasi with an embarrassed face, and escorted her outside, closing the door behind her.

"Tulasi, I'm sorry you had to witness that..." sugandha spoke with embarrassment.

"Sugandha, darwaza toh band kar lete." Tulasi muttered while hiding half of her face with the pallu.

Sugandha bent her head as she was just caught kissing her husband in a vulnerable position.

Tulasi held her shoulder. "Don't hide your face now, we're getting late." Sugandha nodded in return.

Tulasi let out a teasing smile and muttered, "You guys can continue after you come back home."

Sugandha's eyes widened. "Tulasi!!" She yelled a bit loud and pouted a little in embarrassment.

Nalini joined in "areey, dono bhabhiyan kya ghap chap kar rahi ho."

"You're too young for this conversation." Tulasi spoke.

Nalini pouted "bhabhi, we're almost the same age."

"Yes, but unmarried," Sugandha said.

"Hum bhi bohut philme dekhte hai bhabhi" Nalini spoke with a smirk.

Tulasi hit her shoulder. "I pity your husband."

"Kyu" nalini asks.

"Kyunki sabh tu hii kar legi" Tulasi says and immediately regrets it. Sugandha's mouth widened.

Nalini wasn't too sure about the particularity of the words. She just assumed that they were talking about normal romance and nodded proudly.

"Haa bhabhi, hum hii sabh karenge, unko mauka hii nahi denge, and woh-" sugandha closed her mouth.

"Abh bas karo, hum aur sunn nahi sakte." Sugandha spoke with a coy face.

"Kya yaar bhabhi, aap itne sharmate ho. Pata nahi kaise rehte hai mere bhai ke sath. Unke sath bhi aise hii karte ho kya?" Nalini questioned in ignorance.

Sugandha's mind recapped; the events a few minutes ago were rushing into her mind and taking over her. She just wants to.... Touch her husband so bad.

"Chup kar, jab shadi hogi tabh pata chalegi tumhe." Tulasi held Nalini's hand and took her away.

Sugandha just stood there for a few minutes, drowned in her imagination, and the door opened, revealing Rudra in all his glory.

Sugandha's pov

I choked on my breath as I took in his form. He was flexing his muscles, and he adjusted his kurta.

I glanced around and then looked at him again. I then enveloped him in a tight hug, his smell was intoxicating me.

Rudra ji seemed to have caught off guard but still reciprocated the hug. "I guess my wife likes getting caught in her husband's arms."

I smiled and broke the hug. "Dekhne dijiye, humko koi Darr nahi"

Rudra's eyebrows rose in a teasing manner. "Accha ji? Koi Darr nahi hai humri biwi ko?"

"Nahi" I asserted with confidence.

Rudra ji picked me up, making my eyes widen. "Yeh aap kya kar rahe ho!??"

"Since you do not fear getting caught, I'll just carry you around all the time." Rudra ji spoke casually.

"Pagal hogai hai kya?? Niche rakhiye hume." I was wriggling in his grip.

Rudra ji was unbothered as he kept walking towards the entrance of the house.

"Please… put me down. E.. everyone's going to look at us. Please… I don't want to be embarrassed later." I kept begging.

Rudra's grip tightened, and his mother was standing there facing away; my eyes almost popped out. And I hit his shoulder almost instinctively.

"Hayee bhagwan, M..maa ji udher hii hai, rudra ji niche rakhiye hume. Maaf kardo, hum darpok hai… aap jeet gaye. Niche rakhiye hume." I spoke with fear and nervousness.

Rudra ji then walked in a different direction, towards the empty room, and closed the door behind him with his leg.

He was then staring at me with such intensity, it was almost too much for me. "What's my prize then?" He asked.

"I was too naive… I shouldn't have said that." I spoke in a low voice.

"I want you to dominate me." He said it with such casualness.

My head shot up to meet his eyes, and he seemed serious.

"Is it even possible?" I asked.

"It can be if you just keep this coyness of yours aside. I can see a lioness behind all this shy facade." He spoke with his manly voice, which was tingling my core.

He was not lying. All I could think of was him. Not in a good way… in a dirty…dirty…way. Every single day, he makes me wet just by existing and makes my mind go wild.

I bit my lower lip and held his neck from the side. I then brought my face closer and closed my eyes to kiss him, but I wasn't able to because he moved his head away. I furrowed my brows. "Why are you rejecting it?"

"If you do it now, I won't be able to control myself. Unless you want to cancel our plan, don't try such dangerous stunts." He spoke with a husky voice as he looked like he was containing his inner demon.

I cupped his face and pecked his forehead. "I want to dominate you tonight."

His face turned into a pleased look, which made me happy as well. But I don't know how I'll be able to show it and break my shy barrier.

We then heard Maa Ji calling our names, and he put me down. We stepped out, and I was walking behind him.

The sexual tension between us seemed unwavering, and we reached the temple after a one-hour journey.

We got segregated as a couple and stepped inside the temple. Maa ji stood away from all the idols, and even if we asked her to come closer, she refused to do so, saying it's unholy for a widowed woman.

I never understood this concept. Why would God hate anyone? And that too to a person who lost their partner. In my opinion, nothing is unholy; everything is just destined.

The sons gave up trying, and Rudra Ji held my hand, and we took blessings from each and every god present there. I was feeling blissful and fulfilled.

We then sat under a tree, enjoying the greenery. Tulasi seemed restless; I asked her what happened.

"I want to go pee, can you accompany me?" she said. I nodded and followed behind her.

As she was doing her business, I stood a bit away and was looking around. Then... I heard Nalini's voice. I was stunned as to what she was doing here.

But then...I heard a male voice.

My heart started beating faster as I followed the voice. The voices were getting clearer and clearer as I kept walking.

I immediately regretted what I saw. Nalini was against the tree as some man was caging her in between his arms. I rushed to save her, but then I stopped when I heard the voice.

It was... Keshav ji.

And worst of all, Nalini didn't seem to be struggling; she just stood there willingly. I was trying to make everything make sense. Then I heard Tulasi's voice calling my name. I guess they heard it too; they immediately pulled away, and Nalini ran towards the direction of the temple.

I then walked towards the direction of Tulasi. "Kidher gayi thi?" she asked.

I don't know if I should even reveal this to anyone. I just can't risk it. I gave Tulasi some excuse and we both made our way towards the temple.

Bhagwan ji... humko hii kyu dikh Gaye??

Rudra's pov

The whole ride back, Sugandha seemed tense. I wanted to know the reason behind her worried face. Something must be troubling her.

Once we got home, she just stood near the window. After locking the door, I immediately wrapped my arms around her waist. She jolted under my touch; she never gave such a reaction to my touch… that is odd.

"It's just me, no one else would dare." I reassured her.

No reply. She just stayed quiet.

"What happened sugandha?" I inquired.

"Nothing" she muttered.

"You seem so worried, and you're even sweating." I spoke with concern and also curiosity.

"I..I just feel a bit sick" she said. This concerned me even more, and I immediately checked her temperature against the back of my hand.

"You should rest, meri jaan." She just hummed in response. Although I wanted to ask more, it seems like she was genuinely not feeling good. I sighed and made her lie down.

I was kind of disappointed… I was really excited for tonight, but I guess we can't for now. Her health comes first before anything; we can do it later.

I left the room to fetch some food for her. I then fed her, and we both took a nap.

When I woke up, she wasn't on the bed. I stood up and started searching for her. She was literally nowhere to be found.

Then I heard her voice in the backyard; I immediately went to check. She was standing there, talking to my sister. But…unlike usual, they held no smiles or excitement.

I intervened. "What are you guys doing here?" My voice made them both startled, and they both looked at me with widened eyes. I squinted my eyes in suspension.

They both didn't utter a word. I then looked at how my sister held my wife's hand in a tight grip.

"Are you planning on breaking my wife's hand?" I spoke in a joking manner to make them ease up, but it didn't work.

"W..what are you doing here, Rudra ji." She spoke up finally, but it didn't sound normal.

"I should ask you this. And why do you both look so tense?" I asked.

"N.. nothing. B..bhai" my sister said.

"Why are you stuttering? You never did that in your life." I inquired.

She just gulped in return, and before I could say anything further, my wife intervened.

"We were…trying to pluck mangoes, and we were just scared because you would be angry…if you found out" Sugandha spoke while stepping towards me.

"You're not even feeling well, and you want to pull these stunts? You'll be punished later for this." I spoke in a low tone, making sure only Sugandha could hear it.

Sugandha nodded and muttered sorry. I held her wrist to guide her back to the bed. I don't know why he wants to do stuff behind my back. Husband and wife should never do stuff behind their partner's back, even if it's trivial things.
