23. Suman
Iwatched two people enter the dimly lit room. The sudden change of plans caused my heartbeat to drop. As I moved closer, he wrapped his hands around me, engulfing me in his comforting embrace; his fingers gently feathering the back of my hand.
“Are you comfortable?” he asked softly, and I nodded in response.
“You can speak, just keep your tone low,” he said. I gulped nervously, gripping his arm resting on my lap.
“What exactly will they do?” I asked. My voice came out slow and wobbly, eliciting a light chuckle from him.
“Whatever you wish,” His words sparked something within me, and I felt his lips brush over my ear.
I silently watched the couple ascending the stage, and suddenly the music began. The low beats, intermingled with the tabla's high pitch, harmonised beautifully with the flute’s melody, easing the chaos in my mind.
The couple wore floor-length gowns. They stood facing one another, each with their own perspective.
The tabla beat softened momentarily, giving prominence to the flute as the two dancers circled.
My lips stretched into a slight smile as I watched the woman nestle in the man’s embrace. The couple stepped closer, their eye contact becoming intense, and butterflies erupted in my stomach when the man slowly wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned closer to kiss her.
My heart pounded as the tabla resumed, their kiss deepening right before our eyes, yet they remained oblivious. Suddenly, the girl drew back, looking into his eyes with a hint of pain and agony.
His brows thinned, and I wondered if they were doing some act.
She ran away from him, but he immediately pulled her back, crashing her to his chest and fisting her hair.
My breath hitched as I watched them, and Kunwar-sa whispered in my ear,“Are you liking it?” But I hushed him gently, biting my lip, hiding half my face in his shawl.
I could feel him smiling as he lovingly kissed my cheek.
The man kissed her again, but with a fierce passion, and she eventually surrendered to him. He turned her to face away from him, revealing her beautiful, white face and long hair, her gaze directed south.
As he undid her dress, my chest heaved unevenly with each breath I took. He painstakingly pulled her dress down, revealing her milky white skin.
I gasped.“She’s beautiful,” I couldn’t help but whisper.
Feeling his smile, I nervously took in her impeccably shaped body. She was slender, without an ounce of excess fat or hair. Her perfectly sized breasts caught my attention as I glanced over to see him observing her.
I doubt Kunwar-sa even noticed them as he whispered against my cheek,“No one’s more beautiful than you.”
I couldn’t help but smile as I turned my gaze back to her.
Her gown slipped down, and she turned to face her man, revealing her perfect hips. He wrapped his arm around her waist and slowly slid it lower on her hips, giving them a gentle squeeze.
A knot formed in my stomach. I slowly asked,“Why would he do that?”
He inhaled deeply and muttered in my ear.“It feels good,”
My brows furrowed, and I bit my lower lip as the man knelt before her, leaving kisses on her neck, chest, and stomach. He rested one of her legs on his shoulder before placing his lips on her core.
I blinked silently, remembering the moment Kunwar-sa had done that to me.
“Do you man like kissing us there?” I asked, and he nodded, rubbing his cheek against mine.
“I can’t speak for other men, but I surely loved sucking your honey water.” His words dried my throat.
Suddenly, the woman moaned, clinging to the man, threading her fingers through his hair.
