~WOUNDED VOWS~

Chapter-18

Muskaan's POV

When he told me that we had to attend a dinner party. I never thought about media. But when I saw him not driving today. Suddenly, that thought caught me.

I've had many media appearances in Udaipur as a princess before. But as Prince Jayveer's Wife, It was the first time. And it was clear by others' expressions that they Didn't expect that.

Maybe they did expect someone better than me as his wife. I have confidence that I'm good enough, but somehow, the thought went there. Let me not occupy my thoughts in this thing.

I'm still holding his arm as if I don't hold him then I'll die.

Everyone's eyes are on us. Some are looking at us in awe and some are looking like jealous.

Obviously, who doesn’t want to be this man's wife who is this much handsome? Today he is wearing a normal black tuxedo like usual. But still, he looks so handsome that I want to slam my lips on his.

Control, Muskaan. Control.

A middle-aged couple came forward to us. I think they are the host of this dinner party.

"Hello, Mr.& Mrs.Pratap. We are blessed to have you in our party." The man forwarded his hand to him and then to me.

We both shook.

"It's a great party indeed, Mr.Gupta.Let me introduce you to my wife. " Veer pulled me softly by my waist with the hand I was holding. I placed my palm on his chest. "My wife,Muskaan Jayveer Pratap Singh. " He said like he was proud of my name.

The lady smiled at us.
"Finally Mr.Pratap revealed his mysterious wife. Your wife is beautiful and charming. I can't even take my eyes off her. She is glowing. You both look like made for each other. It's worthy to hide her, Mr.Pratap."

Her praise makes me shy and confident too.

Veer looked at me and smiled.
"It's worthy."

Then we met with some business partners and had our dinner. But all the time, I felt a stare at me. I tried to find it but I couldn’t.

I excused myself from Veer for a washroom break. When I CAME OUT from the washroom, again I felt a stare.

I was about to go towards Veer when I found a gaze on me. I looked at the bar section and I found.

It was the same guy from my college who had been staring at me in a bad way for the last month. But what is he doing here? I'm not feeling comfortable in this place anymore.

I went towards Veer. He was talking with someone.

I held her arm and whispered.
"Can we leave now?"

He didn’t ask me anything but I can understand by his look that he figured out that something is fishy.

He nodded.
"Yeah."

We said goodbye to Mr. & Mrs.GUPTA.

VEER opened the passenger door for me.

"We came with the driver," I said.

"Yeah. I told him to take his leave because..."

"Because? "

"Because we are going on a long drive. "

I smile came on my lips. This thing can only make my mind fresh. But how did he know that I need a long drive right now?"

We settled on the car, and he started the engine.

"Can you take me to the lake?" I missed the lake last month. But because of our tiredness, we couldn’t.

He smiled at me and nodded.

"So we can also have the tea?"

He again nodded.

"Then we will have ice cream too." I don’t know. I want to do everything today.

He looked at me in amusement.
"We can do anything you want. " I smiled. "But why do you want tea and ice cream together."

I laughed.
"I want both today. We can have our tea on our way to the forest, and then we can have ice cream when we return."

"Ok."

I enjoyed the fresh air and we also enjoyed the tea.

Then we entered the forest. Again I'm feeling scared.

He takes my hands in his hands. These days, sometimes I don't need to say anything to him. Somehow he figured out my untold things.

We went near the lake and took a fresh breath from this environment. I missed it.

I was looking around when my bun loosed and my hair fell on my back.

I tried to peep behind when two strong arms held me from behind. I understand that he loosed my bun.

His warmth is what I need at this moment. He nuzzled his nose in my hair and inhaled.

He murmured.
"What shampoo do you use? Does it have lavender in it I love this fragrance. "

I nodded and held his hands, which were on me.

He settled my hair on my right side and again inhaled.

His hot breath was doing something to me. My legs are becoming weak. If he was not holding me, I would collapsed on the ground more ago.

He took my earlobe in his lips.

Oh my god. I'm drenching.

I took some courage and said.
"What are you doing?"

"Just want to claim something but still controlling myself." He whispered.

Why is it making me turn on? OH.GOD.

He held my hand and took me to the bench. I was about to sit, but he pulled me on his lap.

I hope he Won't realize that I'm drenching.

He held me tightly, and I held him by his shoulder.

We both are looking at each other's eyes.

"Did something disturb you at the
party? "

I shook my head. I can't tell him now.

"You know you can tell me."

I nodded.
"I will."

He slightly smiled and tugged my hair string behind my ear. Then started caressing my cheeks by his knuckles.

His hot breath is on my face now, and maybe mine is on his.

His gaze went from my eyes to my lips. He caressed my lips with his thumb.
"When you came out from your room today, you were looking breathtaking. I mean you are." I giggled. "But your lips are telling me to claim them from that moment. "

"So claim them."

Oh shit!!! How can I be this shameless? I told him to kiss me. I'm becoming more shameless in front of him day by day.

"I..I didn’t mean that." I started looking here and there but him.

He held my chin and made me look at him.
"If a word came out from my Queen's mouth, then It's my duty to fulfill that." He was boring his gaze on me.

I gulped. I want to kiss him but I also want to deny. But no words are coming from my mouth.
