Page 113 of The Royal Beast & His Rising Queen

"You are suffering from so much pain, yet you came to the office instead of resting at home...", he reprimanded her softly...

"This happens every month Rana sa, I can't sit at home doing nothing for days, every month right ??", she said

"Wrong, you can take rest as many days as you want, or at least work at your convenience till you get fine, that's the least privilege any woman employee of this company gets, you don't want to take advantage of being my wife and I agreed to it,but if you are suffering like this, I might just go and announce everyone you are the queen", Abhyansh said...

"Rana sa... you just can't do...", she started but he pressed the soft point on her lower back with his thumb making her moan loudly... "Ansh...", she cupped her mouth as soon as it left her mouth... he hovered over her back, his lower body completely touching hers, making a huge gasp escape her mouth when she felt him on her bottom...

"If you don't want me to do that, just listen to me...", he whispered in her ear nibbling her ear... "do you agree ??", his dangerously se*y tone didn't give a choice other than to nod at him making his smirk widen...

"Good, you are taking the next two days off", he declared, sitting beside her, massaging her back as if nothing happened, but it took a few minutes for Isha to contemplate what just happened...

She jerked when his oily palms touched her feet, coming out of her trance...

"Rana sa... what are you doing ??", she said pulling her feet away and sitting on the bed...

"It's fine Isha...", Abhyansh said, and about to pull her feet to him when she stopped him...

"It's not fine... this is so wrong, you can't touch my feet, you are my husband, and a king, more than everything, you offer prayers and 'Abhishek' to Shiv ji in the temple every day... even touching me during this time is a sin, I'm impure at this t...", she started but he interrupted her...

"Who told all this nonsense to you ?? Even the Mahadev I worship daily respects and loves his wife so much that he touched her feet at one point. Purity is depicted based on one's soul, and you are the purest according to that... ", Abhyansh said cupping her cheek softly...

"So, all these things have no meaning ?? Our ancestors are all wrong to follow these things ??", Isha asked confused

"No, they are right but not every time... and following these things aren't wrong, the reasons they told us are... women are the most vulnerable at these times, they have so much power within them that they need to dissolve the bad energy inside them in order to secure the good energy and the time period where this process takes place is called period. Women are never impure, it's the people who think that way are, it's just that, during those times they are not allowed to temples because of the archaeological structures the temples are built in... the bad energy flows down from up, and when a person enters a temple, the temple structure makes the energy flow from bottom to top which collides within and causes health problems for them, that is why women aren't allowed to the temples during that time, and the same is with cooking, women face mood swings, bad mood due to pain and extreme irritation, and cooking the food for the family in those times is believed to be increasing it and spreading the negative aura, so women are asked to stay away from kitchen. Do not interlink these facts to some nonsense theories like impurity... and coming to me, yes, I offer prayers to Mahadev, but for that, I take a bath, and cleanse myself of all the negativities within my body and soul before entering the temple, so these things don't matter to me neither to my shiv ji... got it ??", Abhyansh said, Isha kept looking at her husband in awe... looking at him and his personality, none would haveexpected his thinking to be this broad... she knew he was a man of few words, but when it came to her, he explained everything in detail, she didn't understand where he brings that patience from... "Isha...stop staring at me and answer, you got it ??", her trance was broken when she heard him say that... she was just caught staring at her husband shamelessly...

She looked down trying to hide her tinted cheeks... Abhyansh chuckled at his wife...

"I am still waiting for your answer Rani sa, you got me ??", he asked, with a teasing smirk...

She didn't raise her head or answer him, she just stretched her legs back into his lap, her feet slightly touching his stomach shocking him... her little but extremely meaningful act turned him on and, at the same time warmed his heart, that little act depicted a close and intimate bond between them...

He lowered his head, kissing her feet, she jerked feeling his warm lips on her feet, her wide eyes directly stared into his, and she could feel the warmth of his heart in his orbs...

"Abhyansh...", she whispered... he loved hearing his name from her, he dropped kisses on the soft skin of her feet again but stopped when she tried to take her feet away...

"Okay... I'll just run a massage...", he said understanding her apprehension... he took some oil and gently massaged her feet, pressing the pressure points gently...

"Rana sa... this feels so odd... I am fine now...", she started again as she never imagined getting a foot massage from her husband considering his personality and demeanour...

"Sh... I won't be stopping until I know you are fine, don't waste your energy", he said and she sighed... "let me know if the pressure becomes too much", he added

"It's exactly how I need, how do you know how to give a massage ?? You seem to know all the pressure points Rana sa", she asked amused at her husband's skilful hands...

"I used to give massage to your mother-in-law, she used to have trouble walking, and her feet used to get swollen whenever she exerted herself", Abhyansh said fondly remembering how he used to go behind his mother to stop her from working too much due to her foot pain but she never listened, so he learned the massage technique from a masseuse and gave his mother frequent foot massages...

His sweet memory soon turned bitter and the harshness of those bitter memories made it's presence on his face, Isha who was observing her husband's expressions sighed deeply. She didn't know what problem he had with his mother, but she didn't like it anymore...

"Rana sa... not used to... she still faces that problem, maybe she could use some help from you", she added softly but his demeanour changed...

--------------------------------------------

"Abhyansh...listen to me for once... please beta...", Amruta sobbed...

"Say a word more, only if you can confidently admit what I just heard is all a lie...", Abhyansh said looking at his mother, in what's called 'little hope'

"Please beta...", Amruta sobbed, her sobs proved her inability to claim that it's all a 'lie' and the 'Truth' clenched the 17-year-old's heart...

"I loved you so much ma, I learned not to trust anyone, but you made me realize I should include 'my own mother' in that anyone", Abhyansh said before his demeanour changed to the 'BEAST' he started being when he took over the throne 2 years ago...
