Page 137 of The Royal Beast & His Rising Queen

Isha woke up after some time, got ready in a red saree, and walked to the main kitchen to prepare breakfast, but before that she made her husband's coffee and walked to their chamber but he was nowhere to be seen, she walked to his office in theirchamber, he wasn't there, she frowned. She walked to the West Wing to his study, he wasn't present there either, but she saw the door opening to the passage to the back palace slightly ajar...

Isha is dressed in a stunning maroon synthetic saree adorned with intricate golden embroidery. The saree features delicate floral motifs spread throughout the fabric, giving it a luxurious and traditional appeal. The Pallu is filled with golden heavy embroidery highlighting the crape silk fabric. She wore a heavy choker necklace made of multiple layers of gold beads and pearls and matching gold bangles completing the look.

She fumed in anger at her husband's audacity, just the previous night, he punished her for thinking about self-harm while he does the same now. She put the coffee tray on the table, and tucked the loose end of the saree to her waist, all set to show him hell as soon as he entered inside.

Just then, Abhyansh made his way to the study, his body drenched in sweat, he lost the count of time in swordsmanship since he is doing it after a long time. Looking at his wife walking to and fro, angrily biting her lips, he understood the whole matter. He decided to explain her before she bursts out like a fire bubble but she didn't give him the chance.

"Kaha the aap(where are you??) Why am I even asking?? Don't you feel any shame ha?? You were lecturing to me last night, but what did you do now ?? Why did you go to back palace now ?...", she started her ranting while stomping towards him, slapping his arm furiously and he let her, liking her little act. She winced feeling the burning sensation on her palm, he quickly took her palm in his and kissed gently, she jerked her palm away glaring at him. He sighed before opening his mouth.

"I didn't go there to hurt myself... just a little exercise here and there", he told her calmly...

She thought he went there to remove his frustration and anger on himself for ruining her first karwa chauth the previous year, well he was tempted to do so but he didn't want to worry her so he just refrained from it. That's why resorted to some other strenuous activities.

"I thought... ", she started but couldn't complete it, she felt embarrassed for shouting at him unnecessarily.

"I know...", he said hugging her to his chest, she instantly moved away scrunching her nose.

"You are stinking, go and wash up...", she said he chuckled at her act. "will you have coffee now or after freshening up??", she asked him

"Now", he said settling on the sofa beside, she nodded, walking to the table where she kept the coffee tray, and started making it while he stared at his beautiful wife who is looking even more beautiful in the red saree, and her waist on display due to the saree tugged to her waist. He averted his gaze trying to control his hormones which are on high alert at the sore sight.

Isha walked to him, handed over the coffee to him, he took it, she is about to leave when he pulled her into his lap...

"Abhyansh...", she gasped and got up...

"Stay here till I have my coffee", he asked

"Who will make your breakfast then??", she asked him

"Make something simple, I won't complain", he said, she smiled shaking her head, her husband behaving like a child is very adorable. She sat beside him while he had his coffee staring at her, as if he is drinking her features instead of the hot beverage in his hand...

"S.. Stop staring at me like that", she fumbled unable to take his intense gaze...

"You are beautiful... ", he said, her eyes widened in surprise, he rarely said those words, though his actions and the way he looked at her always screamed how beautiful she looked to his eyes.

"Hm...", she said, looking down trying to hide her blush...

"I want to make love to youIsha...", he said, his tone expressing his extreme desire more than his words ever could... she didn't know what to say, what is she supposed to say?? Is he asking her permission or expressing his desire or both?? She didn't know what to say so she stayed silent pressing her fingers together. "Take your time, there's no rushbacha", he said, thinking she is nervous...

She frowned at his words, why did he say that?? She didn't want time, after the previous night, she felt very close to him and she wanted to take the next step. She felt it's high time they move forward in their marriage.

"Huh??", she asked, and with her reaction, he understood what she wanted, and he decided to have a detailed talk to her that night.

"Nothing", he shook his head... "I'll go and freshen up then", he added but remained seated, she nodded and got up, took the coffee cup from his hands, and walked to the table, collected the coffee tray she brought and started walking to the door when he called her.

"Isha...come here", he said, she frowned in confusion, but nonetheless walked to him standing in front of him, he leaned forward holding her by her bare waist. She gasped at his touch, but did nothing to stop him as her hands were holding the coffee tray. He slowly leaned in, peppering kisses all over her exposed waist, she held her moans but when he kissed her belly button, she couldn't hold back anymore...

"Ansh...", she let out a hushed moan, and that made him stop... he cursed himself for losing control, initially all he wanted to do was just untuck her saree and cover her waist but as always she made him lose his control. He slowly untucked the saree, and covered her waist before leaning back. She turned and walked away unable to control her blush.

Everyone gathered for breakfast, including Ranveer as he wanted to talk to his sister. Abhyansh groaned at the sight of his brother-in-law but stayed calm, not wanting to upset his wife. Isha served him breakfast and stood there beside him. She smiled when she saw her husband eating contently as he didn't even have his dinner properly.

Ranveer glared at his brother-in-law who is eating without any care in the world, while his sister is keeping a fast for him...

After breakfast, Abhyansh walked to his study. Ranveer tried to convince his sister to eat something citing her husband's shamelessness to eat heavily while she is staying hungry forhim, she shook her head at her brother's childish attempts and walked inside to pack food for her mother-in-law.

Ranveer understood it's a waste to talk to his sister, so went to have a little chat with his brother-in-law.

"You ate so much while my sister has to stay hungry the whole day for you, this is unfair", Ranveer said as soon as he was allowed into Abhyansh's study.
