Hello reader friends, the book ‘Tied by Vows’ is slated for release tomorrow. Before that I felt you deserved a juicy snippet to make the wait easier. So here you go, the prologue of the book is below. May I add that its a steamy one!
PROLOGUE
After a heated argument…
Madhav and Anushka stood apart, facing each other in the hall of their house. They were breathing hard, and their faces were red with rage. Arguments were common between them, and the showdowns were often intense. But always, one of them stepped in to call for a ceasefire to prevent the conflict from escalating. But today, both were so rich with rage that bowing down did not come easily to them. But Madhav knew he could not let Anushka stay mad at him for long, as this time, he was the one in the wrong. So, he chose a strategy to silence the strife.
“Alexa, play Kadhal Sadugudu from the movie Alaipayuthey,” Madhav yelled, his voice translucent with intent.
Anushka narrowed her gaze as she gauged his actions like a hawk. As the music began to sweep in, Madhav folded his shirt sleeve up to his elbow, revealing his hairy forearms. His gaze glazed over with purpose as he sauntered towards his wife.
“What are you up to?” Anushka asked, suspicion loud in her voice.
Madhav reached her in three steps and drew her closer. Anushka resisted and tried to wriggle out of his hold, but he held her in place.
“An argument should always conclude with letting the steam out. The best place to do so is the bedroom,” he said suggestively, running a finger down her skin, eliciting goosebumps. “But since you wouldn’t appreciate that now, I thought of dancing it out with my wife.”
“Quit playing games with me,” Anushka bit out as she tried to fight his game of touch.
“Why?” Madhav asked with a teasing glint in his eyes, “Afraid that you’ll melt?”
“In your dreams,” Anushka scoffed.
“Then honour me with this dance and prove your temper rings higher than our passion,” Madhav said with a challenge in his voice.
“With pleasure,” Anushka retorted, entwining his fingers with hers in a hard grip.
Madhav smiled, seeing her testing his strength. He let her go rough on him while he played his tune with her. They moved to the song with contrasting expressions, encased in each other’s arms. Madhav had a winning smirk as he twirled his wife in his arms and skimmed the sensitive skin of her shoulder with his moustache. A gasp escaped her lips, but Anushka tried to dispel the impact by stomping on his foot intentionally.
A yelp left his lips, but he continued to chuckle as he experienced his wife’s fierceness firsthand. The stomps increased, and so did his tantalizing caresses. Madhav pressed his length against her, bending her in the curve of his arms. She brought her torso up, whiplashing her hair onto Madhav’s face. They fought tooth and nail with passion. Love bites were sprinkled on Anushka’s skin as Madhav moved his mouth along her silky expanse. In return, bruises broke open on Madhav’s skin as Anushka used her nails to grace his flesh.
Desire sparked their gaze as time ticked by, and Anushka’s face mirrored the same expression as his. Anushka tried to will it away, but emotions swamped right through her as Madhav’s passionate fingers kneaded her with fervour. He lifted her in his arms and made her glide down his length in the slow, measured move.
In a beat, his lips met hers in a kiss, and there was no looking back. His lips moved over hers with urgency, and he moulded her frame against him. The argument was long forgotten as Anushka kissed him back with ardour. The duel now was left to their tongues as they swirled in an age-old rhythm, igniting the passion between them to the hilt.
In between, when they came up for air, Madhav had the expression of a cat who got the cream.
“Don’t you dare smirk down at me,” Anushka rasped out.
“I love it when you go ballistic with rage. The passion just gets better when you are livid,” Madhav said with gentle laughter in his voice.
“Urgh, no one can annoy me and yet get the best out of me like you do,” Ansuhka growled, spreading her palms across his chest.
“And no one brings out the devil in me like you do,” Madhav said with a wink.
“Stop with the rant and get on with the action, mister,” Anushka said with uneven breath.
“With pleasure.” Madhav grinned.
