Praise The Husband

Chapter 21

Sundari sat beside Rudransh, her fingers tracing the lines on his forehead, which were yet to smoothen out. He had been unconscious for a while now, his body sprawled on the bed. The room was quiet except for the occasional beeping of the machines by his side. Sundari remembered the moment when she had found him like this, his face caked with sweat, his breaths ragged. He had been out for hours now, and she had not taken a break in between.

She took a deep breath and stood up. Her eyes wandered over his body, taking in his handsome features, his muscular chest, and the way his hair came in contact with his skin. Sundari had never seen a man so strong, so masculine, and so handsome. But there was something about him that scared her- his possessiveness. It was as though he owned her, and she belonged to him, despite the fact that they had only started seeing each other. She had always known that he was different, and that his strength was terrifying, but now that she was left alone with him, it was a whole new level of fear that had gripped her heart.

Sundari shook her head, trying to rid her mind of all the thoughts that had been plaguing her. She decided to take care of him, to let her actions speak for her. She leaned over and grabbed a wet cloth and began to gently wash Rudransh's body. The water from the cloth trickled down his body, making his skin glisten and shine, and she couldn't help but notice the way his muscles tensed and how his breathing deepened.

"You're so strong," she whispered as she ran the cloth across his chest. She traced her fingers over the contours of his body and leaned in closer. The scent of him was overpowering, and she found herself getting lost in it.

As she washed his hair, she closed her eyes and imagined what it would be like to have him hold her, to touch her, to kiss her. But then, the fear crept up again, reminding her of the possessiveness that had sent a chill down her spine. 

"What if he starts to control me? What if I lose myself in him?" She shook her head and tried to push the thoughts away. "No, it's not like that. He cares about me; he won't do anything to hurt me?" she reassured herself.

She dried him off and then sat beside him, watching him as he slept. She couldn't help but get lost in his handsome face again. The way his jawline was perfectly chiselled, the way his eyes closed in deep relaxation, and the way he breathed so calmly.

Sundari couldn't help but speak out her thoughts. 

She whispered. "But you scare me, Rudransh. Your strength is too much for me to handle. You can protect me, but please don't control me." 

As Sundari was busy gently patting Rudransh's body dry, making sure to avoid his private areas, her foot got caught up in the blanket and she fell on top of him. She felt a very and strong warm radiation, and she looked down at him to see that suddenly a ring had appeared on Rudransh's ring finger.

Sundari tried to get up but stumbled a bit. Sundari couldn't believe her eyes as she looked down at Rudransh's hand. 

"How did this ring get on his finger?" she thought to herself. As she tried to remove it from his finger, her hand got stuck and she couldn't pull it off. She looked at Rudransh's face, hoping he would wake up soon and they could figure out what was going on.

As Sundari continued to pat Rudransh's body dry ignoring the familiar ring, she heard a voice that made her jump in surprise.

"I never took you for a woman who would take advantage of an unconscious man," Rudransh said, chuckling to himself. As she looked at him in shock, she realized that he was awake and watching her.

Sundari immediately jumped out of the bed, feeling embarrassed and ashamed. "I was not trying to do anything inappropriate," she said, her voice shaking with emotion. "I was just trying to help you. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."
