Tainted Love by Maniah (english novels to read .TXT) 📕

Vani Pov.

"What happened? You look lost," Mrityunjay asked when we were driving back from the party. I shook my head and looked out of the window, watching the passing road. It feels as if nothing has meaning in my life anymore. 

It took us almost forty minutes to reach Mritunjay's home. Once the car stopped I didn't wait for the driver to open the door for me today and opened it myself. Mrityunjay followed me, today the bubble of my imagination burst and I was reminded about my place in his life.

This dress I wore today with love and happiness felt like someone was choking me from inside. Entering inside the house I went staring for the shower. I want to wash away this feeling but I know I couldn't. How could anyone run away from his or her reality? 

Getting out of my clothes I stood under the hot shower with closed eyes. Water dripped over my head as if I was standing in the rain.  Entertainment...that's what I was for people. I wiped the tears which were mixed with water.  A voice inside me spoke up 'why are you sad? Isn't what you signed for. Face your reality Vani.' 

Problem was I didn't want to face reality, I was happy in my bubble. I was standing silently fighting a war between my heart and mind. Suddenly, the door opened. I stiffened but calmed myself because I could feel him, he was like a gravitational pull for me around which my life revolves. Today I wonder how much I changed in these three months. How much my life changed in these months. In the village, my life purpose was becoming a teacher but that seems like a completely different world now. 

"Why are you sad, Vanya?" He asked standing behind me. His hand rested on my shoulder and water poured over us now. I met his eyes in the mirror, like me he was completely naked as well. "Tell me…" he asked again, placing a soft kiss on my shoulder, his eyes still on me in the mirror.

"Nothing…" 

He turned me towards him with a sudden force making me gasp at the action. "I don't like liars. I know something is disturbing you, tell me what is it?" 

I gulped and closed my eyes ``You are getting married?" I whispered the question which was breaking me from inside but his reaction was shocking for me. He didn't say anything at first and then threw his head back and started laughing "oh Vanya!" He shook his head and pulled me in his arms.

He inhaled sharply and touched chin with his finger and thumb. "I am not getting married, Vanya,  it's not for me." 

"but your grandmother said Lavanya…" I started but he cut me off  "my grandmother does that every time, don't take her seriously. You are the most important person in my life Vanya, the only one I want to spend time with."

I gulped the heaviness in my throat "am I really special Mritunjay?" 

"You don't even know what you are to me, Vanya, I will always care for you. Always." He said and placed his lips over mine. He was kissing me softly and I kissed him back with love and desire. 

Hot water poured over our heads, he pushed me a little towards the shower wall and lifted me against the tiles and wrapped my legs around his narrow waist. "Mrityunjay…" I whispered, my breathing turned heavy suddenly.  

"I want you…" he said looking in my eyes and started thrusting. Just like that, I was lost in him. I closed my eyes in ecstasy only the sound of our breathing and moaning was audible. We both were lost in each other's arms. He tugged my hair and threw my head backwards. He was close to his release and I was too. We both surrendered to our passion at the same time. He touched his head to mine "I won't let you go," he whispered breathing heavy.

I raised my brows and looked in his eyes. He was staring back at me, I placed my lips on his and kissed it with love and affection. He helped me stand up now that both of us were calm. We towel dried our body and went to our room when I was going to change into nightclothes. Mrityunjay pulled me back in his arms and kissed my collarbone "no need for clothes, I want you again."

I turned in his arms and linked my arms to his neck "why are you so good to me?" I asked I don't know why I'm getting emotional these days. "Why do you treat me like this Mrityunjay? Why are you so good? You are the most kindhearted person I have met in this city."

He chuckled and placed a soft kiss on my shoulder, "you are the first person who called me kind-hearted, everyone else who knows me says my heart is carved with stone." 

I frowned, how could anyone say this about him. He has a heart of gold. "They are wrong…" I was saying but he touched my life with his finger to stop me from speaking "they are not because they are right. I am not a kind man Vanya, not at all." He said with a smile but today his smile was different.

"But now, I don't want to discuss my personality with you. Come to bed darling, I want you," he said, placing a soft kiss on my neck and who I was to deny him. He took me to bed and our room was filled with the sound of our moans in ecstasy. After being sated we were lying in each other's arms. My head on his chest and leg on his legs, he was caressing my hair, a soft quilt hiding our naked bodies and just like always mrityunjay was staring at the roof. The aloofness returned like every time.

I kissed his chest and he looked down at me and kissed me and pulled me even more close to him "you are mine Vanya, only mine," he said and I believed him.

It was two weeks after the party Mrityunjay took me to, I don't know why but I am feeling nauseous from some time now. Last night when he tried to get intimate with me and I told him no. He kissed my head and wrapped me in his arms and slept. I thought I would be fine after a good night's sleep but didn't.

I sighed and did my morning routine. After shower when I went downstairs for breakfast Mritunjay was talking to someone over the phone. "Yes, I am coming. No one is allowed to take what belongs to me,"
