Queen of my heart (continued)

The fun

The wedding celebrations went on for the next four days. Ashwini found it very difficult to stay away from his wife. But what can a king do in front of priests!

It was the last party for the wedding. The sun was set so was the king's room. The maids sprayed perfume on curtains, lit candles, spread roses on the bed. They were gossiping to each other about the beautiful cursed 'Queen '.

In the women's chamber Devika under the orders of the Superior Queen, Ashwini's Stepmother, was being prepared for her first night with her husband. She was made to wear a yellow saree, her hair was braided, and flowers were woven into them, sandalwood paste was rubbed around her navel and vermilion was put in her partition.

On the other hand, Ashwini was beings teased by Rudraksh. No matter how majestic he was, he never spared by his brother. And later Ashwini and the courtiers kept discussing about the curse. Apparently, his old wise men objected to his marriage to a cursed princess. They needed to find a solution to it.

When it was time, Ashwini addressed his court and retired to his room. He found his beautiful queen at the balcony looking at the moon. He tiptoed to her and snaked his arms around her slender waist. She gasped in response. He pulled her into his bulky and warm embrace. 

He kissed her neck lightly and felt her tighten her breathing. This was the moment both of them were waiting for.  She turned around to see his face glowing in the moonlight. He was so handsome. But...

" Maharaja, why did you marry me? Don't you love your kingdom? Don't you want the best for it? Devika questioned him.

"My queen " Devika blushed at his sweet voice. " I want the best for my kingdom, but I also want a companion who can look after it as good as I do and who can look after me. Are you not that companion, my lady? " Devika smiled at this and nodded.

He pulled her to his chest and patted her back.

"Devika, do you trust me? " He asked.

She nuzzled into his shirt and nodded.

"Then have faith in us, in yourself and in God. Nothing bad will happen to us." He spoke to her in a pleasing tone. She hummed in reply.

A smirk rose in Ashwini's lips as he chose his words wisely.

"My lady, now I believe I have the luxury to serve you." Ashwini lifted her chin with his finger. To this Devika blushed and bit her bottom lip. Ashwini chuckled and lifted her in his arms only to lay her on the bed full of roses.

***********

"My worthy man, I want you to prepare me a chariot soon. I think I am going to give Ashwini and his cursed wife a visit." I ordered and walked back to my chamber.

Only one thought lingered in my mind -Ashwini's destruction, aha, and in this his wife would also have a hand. Let the fun begin...

**********

Devika didn't even imagine what fun could be with Maharaja Ashwini. 

"Ha ha .... rajaji your beard is tickling me. " She yelled at her husband playfully.

"Oh, my apologies, my queen, because I won't stop!" With that he continued his 'fun' on her.
