The Wait - Precap for Chapter 12

KHUSHI SINGH RAIZADA


I wake up with a start as Arnav barges into my bedroom. Why is he here so early in the morning? He was supposed to come in the afternoon to take me from my parents’ house. He looks utterly confused and helpless until his eyes meet mine. I get off the bed and I’m about to question him about his presence and his problem, when he reaches me and wraps me in his arms. His breath is ragged as he almost lifts me up to him and hugs me tight. His heart is pounding, his hold on me strong and protective.

“Arn…”

He draws me closer and tighter as I try to speak. With our bodies crushed against each other and his rough breath filling my ears, I stop my questions for a moment to let him catch his breath and realize where he is, what he is doing and how it’s terrifying me. He still doesn’t relax and holds me tight, as if I would flee if he lets me go. I finally wrap my arms around him and hug him back, soothing his back softly to calm him down. He nuzzles his nose into my neck, as if inhaling me, as I keep doing the same. He doesn’t know how this intimacy of our bodies is wreaking havoc on my senses, the kind I’ve never experienced for Arnav… the kind that can make a woman surrender to his every wish. My fingers instinctively glide into his hair, clutching and caressing them, my own breath becoming deep and loud.

“Mujhe chodh ke mat jaana, Khushi, main tumhare bagair jee nahi paunga..” (Don’t ever leave me, Khushi, I’ll can’t live without you.)

I’m transported to a different world as Arnav keeps whispering this against my neck. Something has happened, I can sense it. Maybe a nightmare, which scared him so much that he didn’t mind driving all the way from Shantivan to here to have me in his arms.

While he tries to resist falling in love with Meher, he is drawn into a game of lies, deceit and conquest, where every move can be a trap, a bluff or a sacrifice. In the game that mirrors the stage of politics and love, where the knights are cunning, the rooks powerful, the queen a temptress and the king vulnerable, will Ayaan dare to break the rules and face the deadly consequences?
