Chapter- 9
"Riya, wake up baby." He was crouching next to me.
When I got my bearings I could only whisper, "Don't leave me." My chin trembled. In my chest I felt like my heart was going to implode and I cringed so I would stop feeling the pain.
When I woke again, he was holding me in his arms.
"Please, I'm sorry," I barely spoke.
"Its okay," he gently rocked me in his arms but would not hold my gaze. My heart sank and I wanted to die than watch him drift away from me again.
"I'm sorry..." I began to sob, tears of guilt and regret of what I had put him through gushing down my cheeks.
"Stop it Riya...plz, I beg you...stop torturing me...I can't even be mad at you now?"
"Be angry with me, berate me, hit me but don't leave me plz...I'm sorry." I began to wail.
"I can't leave you...even if that's what I feel like doing right now." He clenched his jaw, but his expression eased when he saw the shock register on my face.
My breath stuck in my throat. I closed my eyes and tried to swallow, feeling the cold spread from the tips of my fingers to my heart. My lips drooped. I wish I had died back then. Did he feel stuck with me? The agony of it was beyond bearable. I hit my chest as hard as I could so I could stop feeling the agony I was in.
"What the fuck are you doing?" He barked and held my hand in a vice like grip and glared at me. "Are you mad? I can't even be angry with you now?"
My lips began to droop again as warm tears flowed down from my cheeks. "You're not angry...you're stuck with me?" My chin trembled.
"You are a fucking idiot, Riya and if you hadn't been sick I would've bashed some sense into you...God..." he cursed.
"Am sorry...I..." "I...I was scared that you might find someone else when I couldn't satisfy you anymore...and I couldn't bare that...I didn't know I couldn't bare anyone getting close to you...not even ma...I am sorry...please forgive me for what I've done to you both... please, am sorry, you were mine as much as you were hers and I stole you from her..." I howled in shame.
He shook his head like fighting some demons in his head. " Shh...quiet now...stop crying...come and lie in bed...you need to rest..."
"Please,... please Rudra..." I begged.
He shook his head again. "I never knew you had such a low opinion of me, that I'd go sleep with random women, like a fucking animal, just cuz my own wife was in no condition to sleep with me cuz she was pregnant." He ended in suppressed rage.
I felt prickles all over hearing that. I had never thought of it that way. But I knew if I didn't do anything immediate, the situation would escalate beyond repair.
"I will make amends." I folded my hands in submission begging him to forgive me. "I love you..." my chin trembled and my eyes welled with warm tears. "I will make amends...I will atone myself...plz give me a chance...don't leave me...please, I'm begging you."
"There's nothing to forgive..."
I could not comprehend this expression in his eyes... cuz I had never seen it there before. They looked at me like they were looking at a stranger.
I felt weak and closed my eyes. I would rather die than see him look at me like that. My head began to spin.
"Riya...?" He shook me. "Breathe dammit what are you doing? What the fuck are you doing? Riya?" He snapped half mad half scared. "Stop it Riya."
He drew me into his embrace close to his heart. "What are you doing, Riya? Open your eyes? Am scared dammit."
My lips drooped. "You're going to leave me, am going to die," I whispered.
"Nobody's leaving anyone you damn fool." He said under his breath lifting me into bed.
I began to tremble.
"Breathe honey...please..."
That simple endearment made the difference between life and death. Did he not know the power he had over me?
*****
A few days later, after things had become normal between Rudra and myself was I finally able to call ma to check on the children. Vansh was having the worst case of chicken pox and it worried me no end. I begged Rudra to visit home the next day to check on him and help ma out with taking care of the babies. He stared at me but reluctantly submitted when I told him I'd visit him myself if he didn't go. When he came home he looked for some tell tale signs of jealousy but when he didn't find any he was able to calm down. Gradually he began to visit home on a regular basis.
Just the thought that he was there with the children gave me enough peace to recover. Every evening we made a point to chat over the cam and be a family again, no matter whether Rudra was with me or back home with the children. Slowly but steadily we began to get past the misfortune and bond again as a family.
Baby Joel needed to be fed and I watched him with a sadness that words could not explain. But watching ma feed him on her enormous breasts made the thought a bit bearable that he was in good hands. I watched in a trance and wondered what Rudra went through when he saw Joel suck on that long hard tit. The diamond ring caught the light and twinkled like a halo around her nipple and my mouth watered. It was the peak of the monsoon season and sweat made her clothes stick to her. I was surprised to notice that over the few months ma had developed into a rather shapely woman. Gone was the bulge around her waist and her hips looked quite toned. I wondered how Rudra kept his hands off her. I had even witnessed Dr Sid throw many appreciative glances in her direction when he was around to check over the children. Ma seemed to enjoy the attention as well. I smiled. She seemed happy.
Coming to the present my focus drifted to Rudra, who was apparently, having a tea party with Yukti, but really watching ma feed Joel from the corner of his eye. A tiny throb rippled through my pussy. I was baffled with the way my body and my emotions reacted to their possible union. They were at loggerheads with each other and it was so frustrating specially because I found myself wanting Rudra like never before.
This time when Rudra got home he barely waited for the nurse to leave and pounced like a hungry wolf on my breasts and suckled and bit and chewed on them until they were enflamed and my pussy throbbed with the need to feel him inside me. But even after I begged him to take me, he just wouldn't and left me all the more frustrated and angry. In my rage I called him names but he only laughed, " You deserve this and more for all your plotting and scheming."
My cheeks flushed in embarrassment and anger.
He was never going to let it go. "I don't want you," I spat. He had made a habit of making me pay for it.
"Shhh, calm down," he forcibly hugged me until I simmered. "Just a few more days then you can have your way with me." He gave me a peck on the nose and left for the shower where I heard and watched him tackle his hard-on.
Two minutes in bed and he was hard again. He sighed tiredly and invariably my hand travelled to his erect penis.
"Riya," he whispered and his hand came to hold mine, only he didn't move me away.
It was wonderful to feel his warm, throbbing cock in my hand again. I wanted to so feel it inside me. I wanted to suck it and feel it rest against my throat. I wanted him so much right now that my heart began to pound in my chest. I held him in my fist and slowly began to yank him. Rudra released a long sigh. I pressed a kiss on his neck and tightened my hold around his cock. I continued to kiss and bite his neck until I felt him cum all over my hand.
