burning in love

Aditi fell back on the mattress onto the mattress, her body slick with sweat and drooping with pleasure. Spasms of her powerful release still tortured her slender figure. Viren has one again disentangled detached and distanced himself from her seconds after their mutual orgasms and lounged his back beside her, his breathing heavy and fumed. Aditi turned her side towards her husband to trace his hard but one of the finest eyes she has seen eve, yearning to touch his body caress his face and feel his warmth but from her past experiences she is well aware how her gesture would be rebuffed. His words which watch phrase every time he climaxed still hurt her building thick pain in the air that they still hurt after so many months. “give me an heir Aditi. Give me. you have to give a son.”, with these words he killed the intimacy between them brutally demoting their act into mere biological imperative. After twenty months of the same slogan she has realised that it will never change. It wasn’t something sudden but she realised It gradually and understood the depth and urge for his desire. But Aditi had decided to speak her 5 words, the words she could no longer hold back no matter how much they made her lifeless. Only she knows that how much she wanted to say them and didn’t want them at the same time.  Still lying on that bed with her husband all she could think of was to gather strength get up and tell him her despair and those 5 words. she sat up, still naked pressed her cheeks to her knees and watched him. His breathing was steadied, but she knew he wasn’t asleep.  Ofcource he needed sometime to compose himself before he could head to the shower, his favourite place after their s*x where she always imagined him rubbing her scent touch from his body with disgust. No longer could she hold the words and simple spoke her motto, “I want a divorce, Viren”. He tensed, his every single cell of the body stiffened and he curled up to meet my gaze and spoke mockingly , “I thought you loved me”, he taunts cruelly and all she could do was pull her eyelids down and lets the drops of water drop from her eyes. But no, she gathered her wits composed herself wiped her tears off and met his dark gaze again, “not anymore. I don’t feel anything for you”, she managed to say. Sternly making her lie believable. “hmmm”, he sounded as if he doesn’t care. “what happened to I love you Mr. Viren for forever as long as you have breath in your body” “things change”, she murmured. “what things”, he rolled himself on his side, hugely naked just like a Greek god seducing her that her mouth went dry just by the sight after their amazing adventure together. “feelings change people change”, she spoke weakly. Again, just hmm a nod of agreement just casual but Aditi wasn’t a fool. She knew that very inch of his body was constricted. He spoke softly mapping and analysing the situation completely,” you look no different”. His voice had tenderness and terrific thunder at the same time. “the same old Aditi, who claimed that she cannot live without me. She would die off but cannot stay from me. the one who loved me more than humanity, to whom her family made sure she gets what she wants so desperately”. And then he made the horrible remark she always had in her worst dreams lately. “the same little timid Aditi who cannot produce a son from this pathetic excuse of marriage.”, she flinched and diverted her eyes in disgust. “yet another reason for annulment.”, she tried to reason but failed miserably. “may be for you”, he shrugged. “but as I told you before jaan there is no easy way to get out of this marriage. Marrying me was your stubbornness but leaving you or ending this marriage would be my decision. Not until I get what I want from you and that day seems to be long ahead. I know it might sound platitude but I think you should change the bedsheets. you have brought us in this situation now you have to solve it on your own.” “I can’t live like this anymore…”, she buried her face in her knees keeping the tears controlled. “none of us has much choice….”, he sat up and stretched lazily before getting up naked and moved to shower. She heard the showers voice moments later and hot tears consumed her. After few minutes she composed herself wiping her tears with palms heading towards the kitchen to make herself a hot drink.   While sitting in kitchen she could, sipping her tea she could feel his presence behind her and her back could feel Goosebumps all over. “you must be feeling cold in this scant thing you are wearing”, he observed heading to the fridge and dragging a fruit juice can out.  His short black hair was damp, and standing in tuffs where he had carelessly towel dried it after shower and he wore nothing but clack boxers. He looked beautiful as always and Aditi now hated him even more because of his masculine perfection. “I’m fine….”. she got up sharply and moved towards sink to wash her cup but grabbed her elbow to halt her movement. She tensed or let’s put it shocked by his gesture because it was new to her. Viren never touched her outside the bedroom. In twenty months of their marriage, it was the first time Aditi could recall that he touched her without it being pioneer to s*x. He leaned closer to her and lowered his lips to her ears. She could feel his hot breath on the side of her face when he spoke. “there will be no more talk of divorce, Aditi……ever”, he told her the same way he made the final statements in his business as if making the deal to make her life disaster then hell. “you cannot stop me from divorcing you”, she responded courageously. “you really want to divorce me, baby”, he asked her tauntingly to which she stiffly nodded. “if you divorce me think of your family, their name is already blackened by your brothers love and now your divorce would be a public affair too. your brother business would be doomed plus I would take my support from his company back, the board directors would be disappointed for sure. they might remove him from CEO’S post.  Analysing the past losses, the company has faced in recent years they might shut the company and will your brother be able to bear the losses with the upcoming expenses with a baby on way.”. the words leave her with shock because in the world of all the devils and backstabbing’s she hadn’t expected this from him. Viren had a major support to her brother (Aditya Rajvansh) in past year by pleasing the board members of his website. she never asked him for this favour neither her brother or sister in law but he did it on his own. She always saw him as a philanthropist and his act out of generosity but to her nightmare that was just a weapon he bought to use against Aditi if she brings him in the state to. His trump cards. “you wouldn’t” she responded with nothing but audacity. “Aditya has always considered you his elder brother. He has done nothing to deserve this” “jaan, I would do everything in my power to keep you stay with me until I get what I desire from this marriage” “I belong to a rich family; I would help him….” she desperately made excuses.    to be continued ..............
