Chapter 52
Kavi's POV [Layla's POV]
I straddled his lap and looked... no... starred at his face. My soul could feel his feelings. He was so happy and at the same time, there was a huge pain attached to that happiness. He had developed the strange habit of visiting Sun or Moon's realm; that wasn't strange but Maayan visiting their realms daily and returning late was bothering me. And I feel a little distant with him; physically and emotionally. I want to know why he was doing this. I am trying to talk to him about it for a week but he would bring some excuse and go to do that work. But I didn't allow him to go to Moon's realm today and trapped him here in our room.
"Why are you looking at me like this, Layla?"
He asked me with a gorgeous smile displaying his perfectly pearly teeth. My heart fluttered in happiness to see his smile. There wasn't a bit change in our feeling for each other. We understand each other more with the time and the love had grown stronger.
I continue staring at him. I want him to spill the matter. I can look into his mind but I DON'T want to. Honesty is one of the very important keys to a successful relationship.
"Are you going to keep starring at me? At least I would have gone to see Chandran if I have known this?"
He said with a sigh. I raised an eyebrow on him.
"Are you bored with me already?"
I asked directly looking at his eyes. His heart skipped a beat before he looks up at me with narrowed eyes.
"What are you talking about, Layla? I... Where did that idea even come to you?"
He asked seriously. I cupped his cheek and make him look into my eyes. He was trying to mask his emotion but he was forgetting that our souls were connected. My purple eyes bored into his crimson pearls searching the answers for his strange behaviours.
"You can trust me and tell me anything. I will do anything for you. You know that, right? I could feel a pain in your heart, Maayan. We aren't like other couples we see around our realm or the people on the earth. Our souls beat for each other and our heart yearns for 'us'. I could feel you are in frustration but also you are happy for some reasons. Tell me what is bothering you. I am here for you, darling. You don't have to carry that pain alone. You haven't touched me for the past month and you weren't even hugging or kissing me for the past two days..."
"Me being not intimate was your problem?"
He questioned suddenly with a hint of annoyance in his tone which I never got used to; also completely omitting the part I spoke before the intimacy. And the meaning of his words hurt me more. I contained the bubbled up anger at his words and took in a deep breath to calm myself. He still had that look of annoyance on his face. I removed myself from him.
"You can go wherever you want. I just wanted you to know that you don't need to bear any pain alone and I am there for you... I will be... Always! But... after you said those words, I am not talking about it anymore.”
I stormed out of the room but ran into Kathir.
"Oh Goddess! Sorr... Are you okay? What happened, Goddess?"
His tone rose with anger as he might have noticed my teary eyes. I avoided his eyes and nodded my head quickly walking past him without answering him
I locked myself in the library for the rest of the day meditating. At night, I walked to my room but stopped when I saw Maayan sleeping in the next room to ours. My heart aches for his love. My body craves for his touch and warmth. I went inside the room and sat gently on the bed and caressed his hair softly. My fingers stilled midway when a sweet scent hit my nostril.
My nose flared at the realization. It was a woman's scent and surely wasn't mine. I know it wasn't the scent of his mother or sisters or anyone those I know from his tribe. His face was normal as always while he sleeps usually. He is my Maayan. He won't do anything wrong. Even if something had happened I would have felt it from our connected souls. I sighed out in frustration while stroking his hair. He leaned his head into my touch which warmed my heart to see even his sleepy mind could recognize my touch.
What are you up to, Maayan?
Was he trying to make me believe that he was with another woman?
But, why? I know he would never hurt me.
I sucked in a deep breath as a thought of him visiting Chandran had crossed my mind. I thought that dustball had changed for good. But I think he is not. He should be behind whatever sick game this is. I intertwined my fingers with Maayan and teleported us to my bathroom. I made him sit inside the bathtub. I want to wash off the smell of the other woman on him. He woke up startled with a yelp when the bathtub started to fill in with the warm water. I snapped my fingers make our dress disappear and the fragrant herb paste appeared on the slab. He sucked in a deep breath on seeing me bare for him. I sat on his lap and started applying the mixture on his body. I secretly enjoyed the goosebumps rising on his skin.
He just stayed still with his hands clenched into a fist making the muscles on his hand turn so hard and tight. Ah! I missed the feel of his skin under my fingers. I scooted closer to rub the mix on his back that made my naked body rub against him and I smirked when I felt a poke in my abdomen. He hissed at the contact and whatever barrier that had been stopping him was broken inside him as he caught my hip with so much pressure and lined his hot erection to my dripping core to feed off his desire and entered me in only hard thrust. My slippery hands hugged his neck when he powerfully made love to my body. Like the storm and rain cooling the burning lava, the knots in me untied and I blasted into a huge blissful orgasm as my body was in so much fervour. Also, it's been a month I had him in me. He wasn't done yet and continued thrusting gloriously soothing the ache within us.
I can't believe I had let him stay away from me for all these days; I should have jumped on him just after a day when he started distancing away from me. The warm water only increased the sensation and this wasn't new for us to making love in different places. I shakingly managed to pull my head away from the crook of his neck and pressed my lips on his. He groaned and growled in pure primal desire and increased his pace making my eyes roll back. I pressed my palm on his shoulders digging my nails into his perfect skin. The sweet sensation of orgasm quickly aroused within me. My eyes met his and the dark rubies showed so much desire that he had been hiding all these days.
I caught his hands on my hips and pressed his hip with mine slowing him from thrusting hard. He gave me a tortured look on the understanding that I want him to pause the act but he complied. I pulled away slightly and washed our body with the water and replaced the dirty water with freshwater still connected with him. He closed his eyes and enjoyed my fingers roaming over his body and moaned with a shiver on getting contact with his sweet spots. He looked so hot taking the pleasure I am giving him. I leaned forward kissing his lips passionately and started moving my hip in a circular motion creating delicious friction between our skins.
His hand came up to my breast finally showing some mercy to the hardened nipples. He leaned his face down, on feeling my tight buds taking them in his mouth pacifying the ache on my breasts with his kisses and bites. I missed him so much. The emotions were affecting me so much. He caressed my cheek and soothingly whispered me not to cry in a painful tone. I opened my eyes to see some purple lotus around us. I smiled and nodded at him with naughtily clenching my inner muscles over his hard member reminding we still haven't done.
He moaned and soon one of his hands caressed my tummy and dipped to my clit. I moaned out his name and he started rubbing me in right pace to bring an orgasm out of me. He knows all my soft spots and my weaknesses. His lips latched on my throat and he gave me a small bite before taking my breast in his mouth again. I was so close to cumming all over his hardness embedded in me but that sweet rascal pulled his hand and mouth away. I opened my eyes and groaned in frustration. He chuckled like his old self and turned me with my legs by pulling and rotating my knees with still connected deep within me.
The next second he forced me to kneel on fours and started pounding into me hard and fast. I was screaming incoherent words of pleasure and feeling so ecstatic. His hand clutched my hair pulling me up to his body and his mouth kissed my neck and shoulder in fervour. His other hand found my clit and he started rubbing there in fast circles while he gave me the passion that we missed. We both screamed and orgasmed together. He sat down in the water pulling me with him on his lap. I was completely shattered and just laid on him.
"That's the passion I missed from you, Darling! Wow... Don't listen to Chandran because he would do anything to see me fall. And without you, I will surely fall. And the other woman's scent on you was the worst idea.”
I spoke while panting and laughed at the idiotic act of him. His body stiffened upon hearing me but he hugged me tighter and we stayed like that till our breath and heartbeat came to normal. We cleaned and he carried me to our bed and after a long time, I slept peacefully in his arms. loo
I woke up by great pain in my heart and a scream escaped my mouth had echoed throughout my realm and shook the place like a dangerous earthquake. I writhed and thrashed around on the bed when Kathir, Aadhira and three other people tried to calm me down on the bed. My body felt like it was trapped at the depth of the volcano and my heart had frozen like an ice glacier. The pain continued to travel through my nerves and my screams awoke the darkness within me which got released like a broken dam and covered me to soothe the cruel pain. The darkness which had been holding seventy per cent of my powers had been unleashed as the pain was risking my life.
My purple eyes had turned into the shade of dangerously darker and the crimson blood in my body turned its colour similar to my dark nature. The darkness suppressed the pain but a part of me was missing in my soul and my heart giving advantage to the darkness to take over the void. Realization dawned me... But it was too late and too painful to accept it.
My man was gone! He had broken the connection between our souls causing this unbearable pain to me!
A lot of questions flooded my mind and my heart weeps and stops at one word!
Why?
The anger boiling within me was hotter than the highest temperature that Sun had ever known and the pain in my heart was vaster than the universe. The broken soul was trying to understand her half had left her. The darkness started to communicate with the soul.
'An evil magic had combined with an envious divine and performed the act of sin - Breaking the connection of two loving souls with lies! A God known for just and integrity wasn't stopping the brutal act. A Goddess's half was ripped away to make her weak and hunt her down to burn her into ashes to erase the trace of her from the place which she created and cherished!"
Who would dare to do such an act? Do I even need to ask!
I stood up looked down at my cowered people looking at me scared and horrified. I realized my unleashed darkness had been dispersing the dominance out of my body. I watched Kathir walked to me in inches checking on my patience. Something within me didn't like him standing like that in front of me and forced him to fall on his knees
He looked up at me with closed eyes and wide opened hands barring his neck submitting to me. That dominant part was satisfied!
"Please, Goddess! Calm down... We need you. Command us what to do. Please don't do anything that would make you regret later. Don't let the darkness dominate the Goodness in you!"
His tears did something within me. A part of me wanted to listen to him.
I closed my eyes and absorbed the darkness emitting off me and kept it within my control; for now. The restraints were broken and I need more time to bring control over the darkness which would get fed of all wrong things. The darkness would grow by consuming the evil things and it will keep the solar system clean off sins, and my darkness has no mercy or sympathy. The humans have been going in the wrong way which would attract my darkness toward them. I need to focus at least to keep myself sane for Maayan.
"Search for Maayan! I want him to be here within an hour! Use any powers and go to any place you want. But I WANT HIM HERE IN ONE DAMN HOUR!"
The voice of darkness intertwined with mine and it was showing off how powerful it is. The threads of darkness entered the bodies of the five making their eyes turn black. They nodded in unison and left!
I have to calm down! I should calm now!
I went to the library and connected instantly with the cosmic. The soothing place felt like a graveyard with the dead silence. My spiritual body screamed his name yearning for the love that man had shown me for eternity. Maybe that's why he left me thinking he had given me enough. But how didn't he realize I am not a lone soul anymore. That's why I connected my soul to his soul to show how much he means to me! Still, he left me. A part of me know he had been tricked despite his sharpness and smartness; or been blackmailed to obey their order. But he could have discussed that with me.
My mind was going crazy. The ignited blaze wants to destroy the whole solar system to find the man for whom my heart beating! And I know it was a plan of Chandran. Maayan had been visiting him recently often. And I don't trust Aadhavan either. The disease of arrogance and envy had infected him too. The good friend in him had died a long before.
I opened my eyes in frustration. I can't meditate. I feel so helpless. He is everything to me. I couldn't even feel a bit of anger on him for doing this to me. My heart and soul didn't even want to think anything negative about him. I just love him so much. Why did he leave me? I want him back. The darkness wants to be let out to destroy everything that caused me pain.
The five I have sent had walked in with bowed head and knelt before me. Their feared scent raised my anger.
"I just have given you one simple duty but you weren't able to do that?"
My voice boomed and echoed across the library. The darkness wants me to punish these inefficient people. I took a step forward, Kathir spoke urgently.
"We found him, Goddess! But he refused to come with us and he is in Moon's realm right now!"
I halted in my step taking in the words he said. The darkness licked its lips to satisfy her hunger with the sinful minds in Moon's realm and slowly covered my form giving me the strength to bring my soul mate back.
“Let's show what we are really made off!"
The darkness whispered to my weeping heart giving a ray of hope.
"You will pay, Chandran!
I am coming for you, Maayan! I won't break our promise despite you have broken the connection! You are MINE and ONLY MINE!
