Page 89 of The Royal Beast & His Queen

"Yeah, I was surprised, he informed me via Ramlal that he won't be having his lunch in the dining hall", Amruta said and Isha nodded walking towards her chamber.

She walked into the study to see him working... He instantly recognized her presence and sprang towards her... He took her in his arms... He didn't ask her anything as his words might trigger her pain... She closed her eyes taking in the bliss his warmth.

"You didn't have your lunch ?", she asked disentangling from his embrace...

"I did... Your mother-in-law didn't make bland food and you asked me not to have spicy foods until I recover completely... So, I cooked for myself", he said and her heart melted at how cutely he sounded, as if her words mattered to him the most.

"Okay...", she replied giving him a curt nod.

"Rani sa...", He started but she cut him off...

"You don't have an explanation, so don't even try giving one...", Isha said

"I'm not explaining, I just want to say sorry... Do you think I love hurting you ? No, it aches me more than you... But you didn'tleave me a choice, you were so determined to not see a doctor, and yet you want to hear the whole truth from me ?", he said

"Rana sa... Do you think I am wrong in demanding for truth ? Especially after what that truth did to our relationship... And today I got to know a figment of it... But I'll wait for your side... Right now, I don't want to think about it, I'm blocking those thoughts, so please don't talk about it now", Isha said and he pulled her into his arms...

"Sh... Okay... Don't think about it bacha...", he said ruffling her hair softly... She breaks the hug and moves away drawing a frown from him.

"Get out...", she said calmly and his frown deepened...

"Rani sa ?", he questioned... Did he hear her right? She wanted to kick him from his study but why ?

"I can't bear your presence in the palace, so get out...", she said, her fury returning at how he talked about leaving her if she chose her father.

"Fine... How long ?", he asked accepting her punishment... he knew he made her furious and he deserved the punishment but his acceptance took a U-turn hearing her...

"I don't know, maybe a week or a month, I don't know, I want you to eat your own words... You want to get separated from me right ? Now live separately... I'm freeing you", Isha said, he thought she would ask him to stay out of palace for a day or 2 but this is too much.

"Isha... You knew why I had to say that...", Abhyansh tried but she didn't budge, he understood she was now determined to kick him out, he had to do something... "Rani sa... All the important documents are in here and I have to offer prayers to 'Mahadev' every day and if you kick me out of the palace, where would I sleep ?", he said and she raised her brows...

"I agree with your first two points... but the 'sleep' excuse is a bit too much... You hardly sleep... You only sleep when....", she started but soon shut her mouth, he only sleeps after making love to her and she couldn't say it out loud... He was a beast in bed and even talking about it made her go red...

"That's what I'm saying... you are snatching my sleep by kicking me out", he said huskily, pulling her into his arms, and placed his lips on hers, sucking her petals but soon she pushed him breaking the contact.

"Don't even try this trick on me, it's not going to work", she said and he frowned...

"It's not any trick... I can't resist you and it's a fact, you are my solace and a man like me can sleep only in his solace... You can't be so merciless to take it away, punish me in some other way Rani sa", He asked, his eyes begging her to be a little considerate.

"You should be merciless while punishing someone for their mistakes Rana sa, I have learned it from you...", she said winking at him but he soon remembered his way of punishing her... He leaned towards her kissing her forehead closing his eyes trying to hide his fury on himself and at the same time regret, but she felt his fast-beating heart.

"Rana sa...", she said placing her palm on his chest feeling his fastened beats... "What's wrong ?", she asked...

"Nothing... I'll leave for office after dinner", he said moving away, giving one final forehead kiss to her.

"Actually no, I have thought about it thoroughly, I can't kick you out of the palace, you need access to your study for the important documents and offer prayers every morning... So you can stay in the palace but you can't enter our chamber...", she added at the end earning a groan from him.

"Fine...", he said walking towards his desk sulking...

"You should be happy I'm allowing you inside the palace, don't sulk", she said, he glared at her but didn't say a word...

"Ji Rani sa... Aur kuch ? (Yes Rani sa... Anything else ?)", he asked, but there wasn't any sarcasm, he genuinely asked her so that he could obey her orders, he knew she was upset and he would do anything to cool her down. She bit back a smile that was about to slip, her husband looked hot with his dominating personality, but his soft and obliging nature was so homely and she fell in love with him some more every time he showed this side.

"No...", she said turning to leave...

"No need to hide your smile", he said looking into his files, she turned to give him a surprised look...

"Nothing can be hidden from those Eagle eyes huh...", she taunted him...
