She gripped his shoulders when waves of pleasure rose inside her, and she felt as though she was being swept away in a storm. When the pleasure peaked, she cried and shuddered. He pulled her closer and kissed her, swallowing the rest of her cries.

She didn’t know how long she trembled in his arms, but soon, she slumped against him, her legs and body weak from the incredible pleasure.

Slowly, she pulled back and opened her eyes. Her cheeks heated while his darkly handsome face continued to watch her.

She felt confused and guilty by the pleasure she felt. She was supposed to seduce him, but each time it was her being seduced by his touch and kisses.

“I… I…” Before she could think of saying something, his body tensed. And then, the next moment, his gaze snapped up and looked beyond her.

She gasped when he suddenly pushed her behind him. Her cheeks heated, thinking that someone from the security team might have come looking for them since they had been there for a long time.

Four men were coming toward them, but they weren’t wearing the Thakvar colors. They were dressed in all black.

Fear gripped her when she noticed the ash on the men’s faces along with the visible claw-shaped sharp weapons in their hands.

The Kabalis.

Everyone in the Singoor region dreaded them since they were known for their brutality. They had turned into savages and cut all ties with the rest of the prominent clans in the region.

She frantically looked around to see if help was around. She realized the Thakvar security guards were far away to give her privacy. Even if she screamed, the wind in the oasis would drown out her voice.

Oh God.

She feared for her life. But she also feared for Shivay Thakvar’s life. He might be a fraud, but he didn’t deserve to be killed by the Kabalis.

And the worst part was he was protecting her by standing in harm’s way in front of her.

Please, God. Help us.

Even as she prayed, the most shocking thing happened. Shivay Thakvar charged towards them.

My God. Is he mad!

She watched in shock and terror as he went towards the attackers. He kicked the first man in the stomach, and when the man doubled over, he ripped something off the man’s hands and hit the man on his head. He wore something on his hands that glinted in the sunlight before he began tackling the rest of the attackers. He kept them at bay, kicking them, slashing at their faces and stopping them from surrounding him or reaching the oasis pond.

I have to help!

Unable to stand doing nothing when he was dealing with four attackers, she stepped out of the pond. Ignoring her state of undress, she tried to run and get help from the Thakvar security.

“Help!” she screamed, but the sound of the wind drowned out her voice.

One of the attackers turned towards her. Before he could come for her, Shivay tackled him as well, kicking the man and brutally slashing the man’s face with the weapon.

She let out a sob, feeling helpless and terrified about her and Shivay’s safety. She continued to climb up and shout for help.

Just when she was halfway up the sand on the oasis, she saw the security rushing towards them.

“Madam, are you okay?” the head of security asked. He and the other men kept their eyes averted as she didn’t have her veil.

“Yes! I’m fine. Please help Shivay!”

They nodded and rushed down. She turned to see that even as Shivay kicked an attacker, the rest of the attackers were running away on the opposite side of the oasis. Even the man Shivay kicked rolled and scrambled away. Shivay chased after him, but the man threw sand on Shivay’s face. The few seconds’ pause was used by the man to run behind the rest of his clan members.

Ishani’s heart thudded as she raced back to Shivay Thakvar. Badly hoping he didn’t suffer any injuries, she went closer.

He was talking to the head of security while the other Thakvar guards chased the attackers. “They must have come on horses, sir. It’s going to be hard to catch them.”

Ishani didn’t care if the attackers were caught or not. All she cared about was whether Shivay Thakvar was okay.
