Rudra pov:

I was reading letter the king Ujjawal send me to request to come at Indargarh and marry princess as soon as possible. I decided to go tomorrow first at palace then come back to indargarh only to cancel my wedding. I am breaking my father's promise but I can't break Tara's heart by marrying someone else at first position. I will be of one women only that too my Tara.

I had been come from bath and wearing only dhoti when I heard sound of payal.

I saw Tara coming in my room. I instantly looked at her feet to found she was wearing payal that I gifted her. I smiled at her. She accepted my proposal.

Its already dark outside. I went to her and hugged her. She hesitated at first but hug me back.

She move back and tiptoed to kiss me. I lift her from her waist and kissed her back.

"I love you" she whispered against my lips.

"I love you too."I said and kissed her one more time.

I picked her in bridal style and made her sit on bed. I sat on floor near her feet. She looked at me with questioning look. I removed at footwear and take a feet at my hand. She tried to oppose but I said.

"That's okay. I have right to touch my goddess feet."

She stpped moving and I leaned to kiss her feet. I kissed her toe fingers and move toward the ankle where she was wearing that payal. She curled her toe in effect and fisted on bedsheet. I loved how I effect her. I placed her feet on my chest and looked at her. I smiled at her admiring me.

she run her fingers in my hairs and leaned down to kiss my forhead. She slowly moved down to sit in my lap. Dupatta slipped from her head. She placed her right hand on my naked chest and left to hold my bicep. She touched her lips with mine and started sucking it with hunger. She dominated the kiss.

I felt her moving her right hand on my chest to south while kissing. When I moved my hand to hold her waist she stopped me from holding my bicep. I let her to dominate and closed my eyes feeling her. Her mouth was not leaving mine. She again moved her hand from chest to stomach and stopped when she reached my dhoti which make me hard.

She pulled back from kiss and looked at me. I suck my lower lip to taste her. She placed a soft kiss on my Adam apple. It raised temperature in room and made me lose my control. I pulled at closer with jerk wrapping her legs around my waist and said.

"Don't start what you can't tolerate, love. I will lose my control."

She wrap her hand around me and collide her body with mine. My manhood touched her womanhood even fabric between us felt so thin. I bite my lower lip to control. I can feel her warm breaths on my neck.

"I want you to lose your control." She whispered in my ear and sucked hard on my neck. I moaned and throw my head behind in pleasure.

I stand up and carried her to bed still wrapping her legs around my waist.

I kissed her forehead removing her earrings and moved to her nose removing her small nose pin. Then I caught her lips and sucked it like air I need to live. I moved from kissing her jaw to neck. My eyes land on her mole. I place a soft kiss on it before sucking it. Once. Twice. Thrice.

"ahah. Raj." She moaned softly that turned on me harder.

She fisted bed sheet and I explored her neck with my tongue while making circle on her bare back. I lowered her sleeve of her blouse to kiss her collarbone.

I caught hair pin that is holding her bun and pulled it out. Her long hairs till hip opened. I made her to face opposite side. I smelled her hairs and remove them to side kiss her back. She threw her head behind and placed it on my neck. I touched her string and asked her.

"May I?"

She nodded and I pulled the string. I opened three string that were holding her blouse.

Room filled with her moans and payal's melody of our love making.

Tara was lying with her naked back against my chest. I was playing with her hairs.

"Tara, I surrender my heart, body and soul to you." I whispered in her ear.

She moved to face me and looked into my eyes. There was something different, deep and intense in her eyes.

"I surrender to my soul to you, Raj." She said.

I smiled and kissed her forehead.

" ham dono ka sath hona ek sapne jesa hain. Main nhi chahti ki ye sapna toote. Ki abhi subah ho aur muje majbooran apni aakhen kholni pade aur vastivakta ka saamna karna pade, Raj. Krpya kar Raj, aaj raat mujhe ye sapna dekhne de. Main ye sauna jeena chahti hun." She said.

"tum esi baat kyu kah rhi ho, Tara? Ham ek sath hain aur hamesha rahenge." I said and placed my lips on hers to give her evidence of us. Our union.

I pulled out of kiss and asked. "Tara, will you marry me?"

I felt wet on my neck. I looked at Tara who was shading tears from her hazel eyes. I wraped her tears with my thumb and took her face between my palms.

"Tara, why are you crying?" I asked and forced her to look at me.

"because I want to marry you." She said between her tears and buried her face in my chest. I hugged her and she cried until she falls asleep in my embrace. I admired her sleeping face. Soon I too fall asleep.

***

I turned and forward my hands to hug Tara in sleep but my hands only met cold bed sheet. I opened my eyes to look for her. She was not there. I searched whole room to see her cloths and jewellery missing that were lying on floor. Only my dhoti was there. I wear my dhoti and went outside. She must went to temple for morning prayer. Its morning already. Nanda must be coming here soon. I was going to temple but went back to wear my kurta.

I looked at her in whole temple but she was nowhere to found. Pandit ji was approaching me smiling with aarti thal.

"What are you searching my child?" he said giving me prasad.

"Did Tara came here?" I asked.

He smiled and said. "yes, She came early morning even before sun rise. She gifted me a beautiful shawl. She said she is going to start her new life."

I smiled. We are going to start our new life.

"I knew about you when you first came here. Bless both of you in this journey of love and life. Keep her happy." He said and went.

I walked back to my cottage thinking where can Tara go?

I saw Nanda waiting outside with his horse. I walked to him and hugged. He was taken aback by this sudden hud.

"Nandu bhaiya. She said yes. I am going to marry her." I said in excitement voice.

"congratulation Rudra. Did you tell her about you and promise made to princess?"

I looked at him and said. "no"

"Rudra, you know she works for princess."

"but she loves me. I will tell her."

He smiled and asked.

"so when are you talking to her parents?"

I smiled. "soon. First I will cancel this wedding with princess."

We both went inside. My eyes landed on table where I kept letter from king Ujjawal. I saw her payal beside it.

Did she read that letter? Did She learn that I am king Rudra? Is she thinking I bretayed her and going to marry princess? Is this was the reason Tara went without telling me? why I didn't think it before.

I rushed to the letter but I saw an another letter beside it under payal. I took payal in one hand and opened the letter. I read it and my whole world stopped. Destroyed. My knees weaked and I sat down in disbelieve. Nanda came running to after seeing me like this.

"What happened Rudra?" he asked in worry.

I was just looking at payal in my hand. I handed him letter without looking.

Dear Raj,

I am sorry I am leaving without saying goodbye. I love you but can't marry you. I know I am so selfish to come to you and spend night with you only to leave in morning. I am getting married to someone else. I just wanted to feel like yours feel us before I gave myself to other man. My soul united with you but we can't united by custom and tradition. Don't try to find me.

I am sorry and thank you for loving me.

Your tara

Will Love you my whole life.

I looked at payal seeing Tara's name encrypted inside on one of it and Rudra on another. Only one such payal is made in King's lifetime and I choice to make it for her.
