______________________________________________

Adiraj's POV,

The sound appeared to be coming from behind the vines, covered by the bamboo and flowers. I walked towards it only to see something which enchanted me. As I parted the natural curtains, shielding her authentic and delicate self from me, The sight almost made me weak on my knees. Redness tinged my face looking at her.

She had adorned herself with gold and emerald jewellery complementing her shining bronze skin, which was wrapped around in a translucent white saree with green border and embroidery. Her hair completely open with the strands dancing along with the wind , caressing her cheeks lovingly. Her eyes shut and a faint smile on her face.

Her-self was screaming serenity and transparency. Purity lingering in the pond filled with the sparkling water, her reflection falling on it, slightly disturbed by the koi fishes wanting to be embraced in her pureness. She was sitting in sukhasana with the veena balanced on her knees and the rock, on which she was seated. Above her was the great peepal, on a penance , slightly bending forward shielding her from the cruel sun.

I noticed a thin yet deep gash in her left arm whose fingers were tugging the jawari strings of the veena. She was playing the twenty fourth raga. Melodious and mellifluous tunes fell onto deaf ears as my vision was stuck on her, a goddess, my goddess. My trance broke when a splatter of water fell on my face from the waterfall which was to her left. I walked towards her carrying myself with balance through the natural stepping stones. She looked like my lotus in between all the lotuses and sinless lily's.

I stood behind her, taking my left hand under her arm, tugging on the strings playing the twenty fourth raga as my right hand pulled her injured hand away. She shivered at my touch and I could see goose bumps prominent over her arms. My hand played synonymously with hers as I took off my angavastram with my right hand. Biting the rear end of the vastra I ripped it apart making her slightly pause before she continued again, but the catch, her eyes on me. Her lips inches apart from my cheek she looked flustered. I bandaged the gash with the help of my spare hand and teeth. As my lips slightly touched her soft skin, she gasped and her head fell on my shoulder making her completely stop.

My eye fell on the glittering gold thin armlet with a lotus and hanging emerald broken and settled on a small rock neither in nor out the water. Just on the surface. The arrow must have broken it, I thought. I stood up and before she could notice, I covered it with my foot. She slowly tried to stand up, but slipped miserably making her turn and falling on me.

Her hands against my chest made my heart beat erratically, as her breaths turned fast. Crimson crept to my cheeks making them warm. My hands caressed the curve of her waist where a matching thin waistband hugged her. I stepped down into the ankle length water before hooking my hand onto her waist chain and pulling her against me, making her moan which turned me on miserably.

"You are very talented......Rajkumari..."

"I think...no.t..t..Kunwarsa..I still.l.dont..t.possess the knowledge of..warfare..e.."

"Haa..haa.."

I chuckled, not before being excited and proud of the fact that I affected her. Her stuttering conveyed.

"Hats off to your humility...Princess.."

I said, peering into her petal shaped eyes, having dilated pupils, and a blush adorning her cheeks. I let her go lightly. She was still standing on the rock, making me look into her eye, absolutely straight. My eyes drifted lower to her lips. They looked pink and edible.
