He hasn’t touched her… yet. 💓
Naina hiding that little red book under her pallu? 🔥

Whispers. Shadows. Forbidden desire. 💋
Ready to see what happens next? 😈

The haveli slept in silence, but Vikram was burning.

He emptied another bucket of water over his head, desperate to drown the flames rising like a curse inside him.

Fifth bucket. Same result. Nothing

The heat that pulsed through his veins. This wasn’t fever. This was Naina—burning through his veins.

From that damned meal… and from her wide, shaking lips and those innocent eyes pretending not to know how easily they could undo him.

From the trail of jasmine she always left behind.

Vikram knew he had to do something before he lost control completely.

He’d known the second it touched his tongue—the herbs.

Not enough to drug, but enough to stir the primal fire that he had kept chained for years.

And now, his whole body was in heat.

His fists clenched the edge of the well. Moonlit water dripped from his jaw. He could still smell her—the soft, sweet scent of his new young wife.

Nineteen. Barely a woman—and still his undoing.
And tonight… the little fool had dared tempt him.

She dared to do what no other had done before.

He could feel the throb in his chest and the ache low in his stomach.

And then—he heard it.

A knock. Then a whisper.
“S..Sarkar…”

Her voice echoed in the quiet night, sending shivers down his spine.

He clenched his fist on the edge of a bucket full of ice-cold water, trying to calm the fire raging inside him.

He had to resist—not for her sake, but because he wasn’t sure he could stop once he began.

"Sarkar," her voice again, soft and pleading. As the scent of jasmine wafted through the air, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, steeling himself against her seductive call.

Dipping his head into the icy water, he focused on the sensation of cold against his skin, using it as a shield against her enchanting presence.

Cham.

Cham.

Cham.

Her anklets chimed closer, each step tightening the hunger in his chest.

Naina stood in the doorway, barefoot, breath shaking, pallu trembling between her fingers.

“I… I came to say sorry,” she whispered. “I didn’t know the herbs would… I only heard they make husbands love their wives, and I… I thought…”

She looked up, her eyes filled with shame and soft, desperate hope, her words half truth, half lie.

Love.

That word snapped something inside Vikram.

He turned, shirtless, water dripping from his chest. His eyes locked onto hers.

Dark.

Hungry.

Unforgiving.

“Naina,” he said slowly, voice rough. “You want love?”

She nodded, timid. “Yes…”

He stepped forward, closing the distance between them in two strides.

“Do you even know what kind of love you’re begging for?” His voice was low, almost a growl, as he reached out to touch her cheek. "Because the love I have to offer is not what you think it is."

She gasped as his cold hand brushed her hot, trembling cheek. His thumb traced the line of her lower lip.

Water dripped from his wet hand onto her skin, a stark contrast to the fire burning in his eyes. “It’s a love that consumes… devours…” he whispered, his breath hot against her ear.

"Are you sure you can handle it?"

She shivered at his touch, feeling a mix of fear and desire. The intensity in his gaze made her heart race, unsure if she was ready for the passion he promised.

The scent of sandalwood and the cold of his touch overwhelmed her senses, drawing her in despite her uncertainty.

“You think love is roses and wedding songs? No, my little wife. Love is fire. Obsession. Control. It’s when I look at you and want to ruin you so no one else ever dares to dream of you.”

His other hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her flush against his chest. “But I was never the one you wanted… was I?" She whispered, feeling the conflicting emotions of fear and desire battling within her.

"You are my wife, not the one who ran," he growled, his grip tightening possessively as he pulled her waist. "Never take her name again in my presence," he warned, his voice low and dangerous. She shivered at the intensity in his eyes, his wet chest pressed against her, sending a wave of desire through her body. "Understand…?"

She managed to say, her voice barely above a whisper. "Yes, I understand," she replied, her heart racing with a mixture of fear and excitement.

"Now where were we…the herbs, right?" His mouth found the edge of her neck. "You dared to drug your husband with those herbs," he murmured, his lips brushing against her skin. "Can I know why you did it?"

She hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal to him. But as his lips bit gently on her neck, she found herself confessing the truth behind her actions. "You don't come to me."

Vikram was taken aback by her honesty. "So you took matters into your own hands… bold little wife." He pulled her hair gently, a mixture of fear and excitement coursing through her veins. "I had to do something," she whispered, feeling his warm breath against her skin.

A laugh escaped from Vikrma's lips. "Well, they were called Dumb, Dull, and Mute for nothing. I like a woman who takes control." His words sent a shiver down her spine, knowing she had finally caught his attention in a way she never thought possible. "But it's time to pay for your boldness," he whispered, his eyes dark with desire.

He took her by surprise as he threw her over his shoulder and carried her. “You’ll pay for waking the beast inside your husband, Naina.” He growled, his voice low and dangerous.

She struggled against him, but deep down she knew she had stirred something primal within him that she couldn't resist.

A daring smirk curved her lips to finally see the raw, untamed side of him that she had always suspected was lurking beneath the surface.

The game had changed.
And for the first time… the beast was ready to play.

Oh, you came back, little sinner?
After that chapter?
Brave. Or horny. Probably both. 😏🔥

Tell me…
Did your pulse stop when Vikram poured water over himself like a cursed Greek god?
Did your breath catch when he said “You woke the beast”?
Did your knees wobble when he lifted her over his shoulder like she weighed nothing but temptation?

Be honest.
Your imagination wasn’t exactly “pure” while reading this… was it? 😈💋

Let’s ask a few wicked questions…

💭 Did you feel bad for Vikram burning… or did you enjoy watching the beast lose control?
💭 Naina apologized… but did you REALLY think she was innocent?
💭 Should Vikram punish her next… or claim her?
💭 And tell me—did you notice how fast he snapped when she mentioned her sister?
Possessive much? Or just obsessed? 😏🔥

Oh, and those herbs?
Still working.
Still simmering.
Still crawling through his blood like a sin he can’t outrun.

And Chapter 5?
My sweet, shameless reader…
You’re not ready for what he does next.

Come back.
Bring water.
You’ll need it. 💧🔥
