Rocky's desire

Chapter 4

- Love is For Beginners.
Reena had woken early the following morning; she was excited; her nerves were frayed, and she had a new mission in mind. 
She sat up quickly, trying to get ready for her daily routine; first brushing her teeth, washing her face and putting on her make up. The smell of coffee filled her nostrils. She went straight to the kitchen, where she could see Rocky sitting near the stove, cooking something. He was wearing one of his royal blue silken robe as she entered the kitchen and he glanced up at her, smiling, "goodmorning, "he greeted her warmly, "come sit down."
He poured the steaming hot coffee into two cups and handed her one. They both took a sip from their respective cups. Reena cleared her throat, "how long ago did you get here?"
He nodded, "just now."
"So, you'rre a regular at breakfast, are you? "
"Only when your Highness requires it, Sona." He smirked, turning his attention back to the plate he was preparing, adding a piece of chicken to it, "I don't want you to starve yourself."
She sighed loudly and he lifted an eyebrow at her.
"Anyways, eat and then get ready, we have to be there for Durga Pooja on time".
Reena frowned but she nodded subconsciously.

The crowd cheered as Rocky ascended the stairs for annual Durga puja. Fatima amma pushed Reena with a thali to put vermillion on Rocky's forehead, something a wife was supposed to do.  As Reena went back to her spot she caught Rocky giving her a small smile of encouragement. She gave him one in return.
"You look great!" He called up to her and she nodded, trying not to show how embarrassed she felt at having been shoved  in front of everyone while he looked so handsome. She was going to make him regret being so cocky, and push him back later!
Durga Pooja lasted for hours, Reena held the thali with Rocky, praying as a couple, doing all the rituals together, while the crowd cheered and joined in prayers.  By the time they , the sun has already set, and people started packing up their tents, Reena had gotten sick of sitting and watching everyone else pray. But, she stayed quiet, not wanting to cause trouble by saying anything or breaking the tradition. She just kept praying silently, hoping the day would end soon and she'd be able to go home or to better word it, the place she lived in.
"I wonder why Rocky doesn't just fill her head with vermillion right here, right now?" Reena overheard a woman talking to Fatima amma.
"Rocky bhai is a villain, but for bhabhi jaan he is a hero" a kid replied, and the women laughed.
Reena's eyes widened, 'what?!' She looked around frantically, searching for any sign of a hint that someone had heard the child's comment and decided to pass it along.
"Why Bhabhi? You look tensed up, why don't you go and help Rocky bhai with the prasad. It is tradition for the queen to help in the serving" the kid teased her.
Reena decided it was better to ignore the women and kids.
She walked to the place Rocky was, and pulled at his sleeve. He turned to face her. She could hear all females giggling and children making wild comments.
"Bhabhi is here"
"Bhabhi, give Rocky bhai a smooch"
"Oh bhabhi, please feed our hungry bhai with your own hands"

Reena was flushed and angry, "Can we leave?". But Rocky was a huge tease himself, he caught her waist and pulled her close to his body, touching his halwa covered finger to her lips
"Go on, Sona. Lick my fingers. Trust me the taste is amazing" She just stare with anger filled eyes. The next thing she knew, he dip her hand in the bowl of halwa and then brought it close to his lips, slowly licking it off. The touch of his tongue aroused her in a way she had never imagined.
She didn't want this! She was supposed to hate him! Why did she have to love him? Wasn't he the enemy? Why did he make her feel like this? She hated it. She couldn't even deny it anymore.
Her eyes fluttered closed. She felt so vulnerable. How could she be so weak? It wasn't like she hasn't been touched before, by men...
But it felt different. It felt good.
She felt his hand under her arm, leading her to a tent. She opened her eyes and saw that he was taking her inside. She let him, not knowing exactly what he had planned for them.  He led her to a bed and they sat in, facing each other.
His dark eyes gazed into hers.
"I know that look, Sona, " he whispered, "you're thinking how unfair it is that I'm getting all the attention. And you'rre right," he nodded, "this is very unfair, but I cannot control myself around you." he continued.
"If you keep looking at me like that, you'rre going to be late for the women Pooja" he grinned devilishly and she narrowed her eyes.
"And what makes you so confident that I'am going to be late for the women Pooja, Rocky?" She challenged him.
"Because if you weren't so distracted, you wouldn't be so clumsy"  he shot back.
She narrowed her eyes at him, as he smirked back at her, enjoying every single second of this.

Some ladies entered with a bright red sari, and a lot of jewels for Reena.
"Help my Queen dress up. Adorn her with as much gold as she can carry. After all, she is my Sona" Rocky  declared with pride and excitement, and then left the tent.
Reena was annoyed yet, her stomach was having butterflies, this man was driving her crazy.
When she got ready, she definitely looked like a queen, with all the jewels she wore head to  A golden crown adorned her head, and the necklace that hung from her neck made her look more elegant than ever.
She walked out of the tent and saw Rocky waiting for her, with a smile plastered on his face.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, "you're sure happy today, huh?"
"I've never been happier." He got closer and whispered in her ear, "I will be the one, taking your jewelry off, piece by piece"he said huskily. Reena didn't satisfy him with a reaction and walked away.

At night, when she sat infront of her dresser, his words echoed in her ears.
" Sona"  She jumped, startled.
"What..wha..what are you doing here?"
He stood behind her, watching her, "the moon is shining brightly tonight. Do you remember what I said about your ornaments ?"
"Yea..." she said hesitantly.
"Well" he stepped closer and took her hand in his, gently removing her bangles.  She watched intently as he placed them on the table in front of her. His movements were careful, as though he was afraid she might break.
Carefully, he removed her arm let, and then proceeded to take her earrings off, gently he caught her earlobe between his teeth. She gasped, clutching his shirt in her hands.  He bent low and kissed the soft skin below her ear and whispered in her ear, "I love the way you moan" he said, placing a kiss above her ear.
"Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhh" she groaned softly and she felt his fingers running across her neck, undoing her necklace, letting it fall on the ground.  She could feel his warmth against her back.
"Now, you can wear your hair down" he muttered into her ear. She shuddered and he chuckled. He let go off her bun and her long hair fell on her shoulders. Moving his fingers down, he played with her waist band. She flinched at the hot touch of his fingers on her slim waist. And with a tuck, he pulled the band away, and gripped it in his strong hands.
He played with the strings of her blouse slowly, kissing her shoulder as she tried not to move too much or move too fast. 
"Are you tired?" He asked her quietly after a minute.
Reena hummed in reply, and he laughed lightly.  She  look at him and gave him an evil grin. He chuckled again, and pulled her in for a deep kiss. Her lips melted on his and she wrapped her arms around his neck. She was finally feeling bold, and she wanted to feel all of him.
It was her turn to laugh and pull away. She looked at him curiously, "What?"
He smiled, and shook his head, "I guess you must be tired. You should get some sleep" he said as he helped her climb onto her bed.
"Good night" he kissed her forehead before leaving the .
The next morning, they headed for their meeting. All morning the men were talking about something, while the women were busy chatting amongst themselves. Reena kept glancing towards the entrance of the camp, wondering who had arrived last night. She sighed, 'maybe it's another man'. She glanced at Rocky, who was busy speaking with some of the men, and she quickly looked away.  She felt a little disappointed at how quickly the conversation shifted back to something serious, but she knew this was a war, and sometimes they talked strategy.
She looked back over to him. They were still standing there, talking. She felt a pang of jealousy. She wished she had someone beside her to share these moments with. As much as she loved being surrounded by so many women, she missed Rocky .
She was startled out of her thoughts, when someone tapped her on the shoulder. Turning to the person she saw that it was Raghavi Bai.
"Hey"
"Hi" she replied with a smile.
"Are you feeling okay?"  asked.
"Aye...why do you ask?"
"You've been staring at him. Is everything alright?"
"Everything is fine" she lied.
"Rocky bhai is going to be very busy, he might travel outside. Obviously, you would accompany him"
Reena rolled her eyes. He took her everywhere he went.
"I don't want to go anywhere anymore. I am fine here. Doesn't he trust his people enough to protect me?"
"Well, he likes to keep you around because he loves you and he doesn't want to be away from you for long times"
Reena smiled a little but quickly changed expressions. This man was going to be her destruction.
