Ahana got out of the bed before Akshaj could kiss her because the thought of morning bad breath can ruin his mood and make him question about her mouth cleanses but deep inside she wanted to do it , As she already got the natural taste of his sweet and spicy mouth . Thinking about his touches and kisses that always succeed in order to create various sensations and lava heat on her crimson cheeks , she finished her morning routine and dress up to show up in the morning prayers. Where she have encounter with Bela and her mother in law . Correction: step mother in law

And Ahana is already well aware about the fact of these two ladies being the reason behind her  husband's trauma . So not lots of affection and kindness got  serve to them by her   . However she has created a strong understandable and supportive bond with  Naina Rani Sa .  The men of palace joined the ladies for worship while after finishing the prayers taunts were directed by cunning elder lady which not only pierced Akshaj's soul but impact was equal on Ahana as well but still she managed to calm the outrage of his by talking in language of eyes. But one thing also not get unnoticed by her that how his affectionate gaze from the last night turned into emotionless one . It was like he was hurt not by the step mother but by something or someone else which she failed to detect and before she could get a chance to meet or talk to her be-loved  husband,,,,,,he had already went to the court with father in law and brother . Rest of the day Ahana spent with Naina Rani sa in knitting and talking . Though glimpse of smiles on her lips shown when it needed during the conversation but her mind and heart was reserved in the thoughts of only and one person . Sometimes the thinking of last night scenes made her cheeks darken in shade while other time the dead stare by him from the morning send her into the depth of unknown pain in the heart .

It's almost evening and soon going to be turned into night and Ahana was sitting in the dressing room after the bath drying the thick long hairs with a cotton cloth. Naina left two hours ago by the time Ayush Rana Sa came back from court work and the thing made her more disturb and tensed that her Rana Sa isn't shown in the chamber yet .

Meanwhile Akshaj got the more hurtful and terrified news than his whole life's trauma .

Flashback:

Akshaj's pov :

I was returning from court meeting where I spent the day in working on political matters but my mind my only occupied with her thoughts and her glimpse in my mind were flashing after each passing second.  When my steps were going to head into the chamber that is different from the one where me and Rani Sa suppose to live together, I saw kamal ...the personal attendee of my wife and not to my wrong her closer friend too . My mind immediately suggested that she probably knows my wife more enough for me to clear my doubts and assumptions so without wasting time I called her .

"I need a little talk with you '

My voice came  authoritative and she instantly bowed to me out of respect and make herself ready to answer by standing in front.

"Were Rani Sa agreed for the marriage,...???"

"Ji..hukam sa .wo..."

Her stuttering words made me little Frustrated as I was eager to get the answer.

"Just.......say yes or no in answer "

And the moment she said that little no ..my entire world broke into pieces ..that i couldn't able to hear but was she tried to say something more and signaled her to go with showing my firm palm and she immediately left .

End of flashback

My blood boiled with disappointment,hurt and madness as she lied to me ,, pretended in front of me the fake affection and care which I hate till core . I thought at least she is the one for me on i can trust,,, and get love but the fact that she wasn't agree with this wedding and atop she shown feelings and actions which mislead my heart to think that she desires me in her life when nothing was like this  ..  this was unbearable to me .

My feet immediately turned to the way where I can get the answer behind her not so appreciative action.  It took me a few moments to reach in chamber  where I found no one in the bed and sitting area and also the wooden door behind which the bath area is attached was closed from outside telling she is not there . At last i travelled my feet to the dressing area . My hurtful yet raging state didn't allow me to knock on the wooden door but to give a firm push on it and entered inside with afterwards locking behind my entry .

Ahana flinched at the act of shutting door firmly by him . Her eyebrows frowned with confusion  but fear took over her when he pulled her from her shoulders strengthly resulting decreasing of distance between their bodies.

"Rana...s"

She was about to ask the reason behind this rush but he spoke while growling like a injured lion .

"Kyu......akhir kyu... aap ne dikhawa kiya....apnepan ka ..jab shuru se hi aap is bandhan me jabardasti bandhi gyi..aur aap ne btana bhi zruri nhi samjha Hume"

'why... just why..you pretended to be oneness with me...when you were forced to bond in this relationship at the first place and you didn't even think it's necessary to tell me '

His hurt was pouring in thick and hot tears through his red blood shot eyes while anger was lashing through his mouth .

Ahana's eyes automatically teared up seeing him while it became difficult for her to protest when her throat burnt dry with pain and lack of gulps . So she didn't say anything but lowered her gaze in order to hid the threatening tears which still flowed down defeating her try . Her reaction only fueled his fire of anger and made him gritting teeth and clenching his jaw like he determined to break it .

Her breath hitched when he pulled her insanely close resulting to touch their nose tips and mixing of breaths which were in heavy rate from both sides .

"Open your eyes......"

His voice husked deeply near her lips creating the quivers in her and she felt weak to follow her words but he wasn't letting it go as again spoke.

"I said open your eyes Ahana.....'"

And the way his focused on the words of her name left her heart's speed  on acceleration and with no option but to separate her lashes  in order to peer out in his darken gaze .

"Why....."""...???"

The only word in which he questioned about entire situation and she was comprehensive enough to understand. At last normalising her breathing she spoke ...

"I have my ...o..own reasons Rana ..sa ..that's why wasn't ready for this marriage but trust me your were never one of these reasons and..... I never pretended anything..it was all....in the way my heart wants and feels ..I just followed my guts...and feelings "

Hearing words from her mouth the wave of calmness automatically gushed through his veins  . Peace  went into his heart knowing that he wasn't the reason she wasn't agreeing to get married but  restless for knowing the actual reason occured also .

Moreover her soft red flushed face which was he seeing after entire day and  the quivering of her soft lips making him desparate for to hold her tightly in his arms and show how much he missed and love her .

Ahana's grip tighten around him and breast got rubbed against his hard chest when his wet and soft lips touch her outer ear sending current down to her body which was now fully engulfed into his muscular one .

"Then..what was the reason Rani sa...why you were afraid to get married..??"

The  tease in his whispers near her ears were painting the layers of goosebumps on her extra sensitive skin loosing the strength to speak from her mouth but taking long and deep exhaling -inhaling she tried to ease the heated situation as she already felt the burning sensations   in between them.

"Rana ss...sa let's seated ..I'll tell you everything"

But her try went in vaine when he denied her suggestion at the moment while caressing her skin with his lips...

"Nah ..... I want to know right now when we are this close to each other..you know nn it'll help me to hear properly and perfectly..Rani Sa "

She took a long breath before uttering as she knows well how much determined he is ...

"..i..ih didn't want to get marry because I thought I'll get some  old and creepy king like my sister...'"

His lips halted hearing her understanding the fear she felt as he knows already it happens most of the times with girls .

"I'm also an old husband for you little wife "

He whispered slowly looking deep in her eyes  and she replied not breaking the intense eye contact.

"No..you aren't that kind of old..it's just me who is little young for you..."

He smirked while speaking

"Little young..????'

She glared at him cutely pouting her lips and uttered annoyingly ....

"Ok fine ...very young for you '

Her words earned a deep chuckle from his throat.

"And you don't have any problem with it...do you..??"

Her gaze lowered when he asked in fruity voice which was dripping with seriousness

"No... I don't and won't ever"

She replied inhaling deeply when his slight beard came in contact with her soft cheeks creating pleasurable friction between both of them . But a deep and slutty moan escaped her lips tenderly when he pressed his cheek firmly between the curve of her slender neck and shoulder blade .

"Rana...sa....."

"Hnnnn .."

He replied knowing very well what's happening between them  and his sanity left when she pleaded out of sensations and desperation which she was feeling for the first time in her life.

"Please....."

"Aannnnhhhhhhhnnhhh"

His lips parted on her neck only to get the flesh in his mouth sending the wetness with warm ecstasy in her body  and her arms got aching to get wrapped around his neck which she immediately did pulling him more closer and firmer while his hand moved to back only to wrap the hanging strings of her blouse in his fingers and it got loose around her body immediately at the moment he undone these.

"Can I touch you..?"

Though he was asking for her permission but his hand was already on her bare back through the loose clothing of embroidered blouse.

"You are already touch.. touching me Rana sa ..."

Her voice broken into heavy panting and he hummed huskily nudgeling more into the crook of neck sending repeated shivers in her spine and her body was welcoming his every touch he was doing and every breath he was taking near her skin . His hoarse whispers was blowing her mind .

"Hmm..... though I'm touching you but not in my ways red cherry ..."

The nick name brought smile as well as blush on her already crimson cheeks.Although fear of their closeness beyond the limits and imagination she has ever thought was in the corner of her heart but the excitement was more ..that's why she went with the flow gaining courage by stabilizing her breathing.

"Then what's your ways....Rana Sa...'"

He pulled from her neck and get a hold of her chin in order to make her eyes meet with his .

"You'll be unable to handle my ways ..sweet heart ..."

His words hurted her ego and she pulled her face out of his hold glaring at him only to hear a deep chuckle from him at the reaction of his little wife.

"Aaisshh...apka gussa Rani sa..Jaan le lega hmari to"

"Uuufff your anger...will be my death rani sa "

He whispered near her ear sweetly making her smile internally but still she managed to wear a poker face  and pretending not to get effected by him .

"Why didn't you let me kiss in the morning.????"

Suddenly he asked in dead serious voice cupping her face she gulped and replied..

"My teeths weren't cleaned at that time ..and I had the morning breath too"

"So..????"

He asked with the same seriousness.

"So..i didn't  want  to dull your mood by the uncleaned taste of my mouth .. because...ummm.."

Her cheeks darken in shade as her words halted ...

"Because..????"

"Because I know you just don't kiss but eat the every corner of my mouth with yours"

"Hmmmm"

He hmmmed throaty near her lips and spoke.

"And what made you think that I'll not eat these soft petals in the very early morning whether you didn't clean your mouth yet. Nothing and no one can stop me ... whether i would kiss ,lick suck or eat ..."

Her breath unheavened hearing his honeyed voice  she gulped thickly and her legs wobbled failing to stay still by itself and she circled his waist with her tiny arms and spoke in sugary whispers..

"None and nothing can stop you Akshaj ..I'm all yours even before your claim on me ....."

His eyes glittered with unexplainable desires when for the very first time he heard his name from her mouth.

"Say it again....."

Her eyelids lowered timidly hearing him but he cupped her face possesivilly and again purred huskily making her heart beat raced.

"Look in my eyes and say my name again Ahana ....."
