FOREVER TALE

TAKING CARE

When Ram entered the living room in the palace everyone stood while Devamma hugged him "What you did today reminded me of your father" making him nod.

"Where is she?" Ram asked making Daksha say "She's resting in the guest chambers her wound on the forehead it bled a lot" making him walk upstairs.

"I've never seen him like this" Shiva said making Raghav say "That's because he only shows what he want us to see" making everyone confused.

Ram opened the guest room door and saw Vasu unconcious on the bed. He looked at her before lifting her bridal style and carried her to his room making the servants widen their eyes.

He made her sleep on the bed as Devamma reminded him "It is inappropriate for an unmarried girl to sleep in a man's room that too in the King's chambers. She's alright my king please don't defame yourself or Ms. Vasudhara".

Ram closed the curtains around the bed ordering "Leave everyone" making Devamma protest but Daksha held her hand and took her out closing the door behind her.

He took off his coat and then her jersey only to see black wounds on her body and completely undressed her before covering her in sheets and took her clothes throwing them in the dustbin. He brought a bowl of luke warm water and cleaned her body with a soft towel then applied ointment and bandaged the wounded areas before going to clean himself.

He came out only in his sweats and took a shirt of his from the closet and made her wear it before getting onto the bed covering them in sheets and switched off the lights and put his head on her shoulder.

Vasu slowly started gaining conciousness trying to move but her body was protesting making her groan and open her eyes to see herself in a thin shirt and turned her head aside to see Ram sleeping on her shoulder.

She ran her fingers through his hair making him open his eyes and raised his head making her caress his cheek before leaning up and kissed him. First he remained still then slowly started kissing her with his hands on either side of her.

She moved up wincing with every movement and pushed him on his back deepening the kiss making him hold her waist as she straddled him and touched her forehead with his pulling back from the kiss out of breath and then rested her head on his chest closing her eyes and hugged him tightly.

"You know back there I almost gave up. They kept coming in groups for killing and for a second I thought it's better to run than fight. But you know what kept me going?" Vasu asked making him caress her hair.

"You don't need to talk if you don'-" she cut him off making him stiffen under her "The thought of you not knowing about our baby."
