Chapter 10: Not a Beast

The lantern flickered low in the library, casting golden light over Naina’s flushed cheeks as she stared at Vikram's sleeping face.

She remembered how he had lifted her in his arms, carrying her from the library to their room, her breath trembling against his neck.

She remembered the words he had confessed to her just moments ago.

He hadn’t moved yet.

He still held her on his lap, hands resting stiffly on her thighs, his breath uneven.

“You think I know everything,” he said after a long silence. “But I don’t.”

Naina turned toward him, surprise softening her eyes.

“I’ve read every word in those books. Every image burned into my mind. But I’ve never touched. Never kissed. Never felt like this.”
