Page 242 of One Hellish Love

“I don’t recall you complaining last night.”

Her cheeks flushed at the memory, and she buried her face against his chest, laughing quietly.

“I wasn’t… complaining.”

Rudra grinned, his fingers grazing the bare skin at her waist where her nightgown had ridden up.

“Good,” he whispered, his breath hot against her hair. “Because I intend to make sure you never do.”

Kashish lifted her head, meeting his gaze, and her fingers drifted to his stubbled jawline.

“You… you’ve given me everything, Rudra.”

He frowned slightly, his fingers gently brushing a strand of hair away from her face.

“Everything?” he murmured. “Not yet… but I’m trying every day, for you.”

She cupped his face in her hands, her eyes brimming with love.

“You don’t need to try anymore. You’ve already given me the one thing I’ve always wanted—you.”

His eyes softened, and for a moment, he seemed to drink her in, like he couldn’t believe she was really there, with him. He lowered his head, brushing his lips against hers, slow and sweet at first, as if savoring the moment. Kashish’s breath hitched, andshe kissed him back, her hands sliding up to tangle in his hair. The kiss deepened, the familiar warmth spreading through her, igniting every nerve.

Rudra pulled back just slightly, his forehead resting against hers, his breath uneven.

“You saved me, Kashish.”

She shook her head, her lips brushing against his in the process.

“No,” she whispered back. “We saved each other.”

That was all it took for Rudra to claim her lips again, this time with more urgency. His hands roamed her body, pulling her closer until there was no space between them. Kashish melted into him, her heart pounding in her chest as desire flared between them. Every touch, every kiss felt like a promise—one they had made long ago, but were finally fulfilling. It seemed like tonight too like the previous night he wasn’t going to get enough sleep. But she didn’t mind.

He gently rolled her beneath him, his body pressing against hers. His gaze burned into her, filled with love, lust, and something deeper—something eternal.

“You’re mine,” he whispered against her lips, his voice raw. “Always.”

Kashish’s heart swelled with emotion, and she nodded, breathless. “Always,” she echoed, her fingers trailing down his spine, urging him closer.

Their movements became fluid, instinctive, as if their bodies had always known how to dance together. Every touch sent shivers through Kashish, and she felt herself losing all sense of time, of space. There was only Rudra—his warmth, his strength, his love.

He moved against her, his kisses growing more fervent, and Kashish arched into him, her hands exploring the taut musclesof his back. The world outside seemed to vanish, leaving only the two of them, entwined in each other’s love and desire.

Their breaths mingled as they became one, the intensity of their connection leaving Kashish breathless. She clung to him, her heart soaring with the knowledge that this man—her man—was hers forever.

As they both reached that sweet crescendo, Rudra buried his face in her neck, his breathing ragged, and Kashish felt tears prick her eyes, overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of the moment. He kissed her tenderly, slowing down, until they both lay wrapped in each other’s arms, their hearts beating in perfect sync.

Rudra kissed her forehead, his hand gently caressing her hair.

“You’re everything to me, Kashish. I don’t know how I got so lucky.”

She smiled, her fingers brushing his cheek.

“We were meant to find each other, Rudra. Through everything… we were always meant to be.”

He closed his eyes, pressing his lips to her temple again.

“I believe that now.”

As they lay in the stillness of the night, their bodies tangled, hearts full, a deep peace settled over her. Their journey had been anything but easy, but here they were—together, stronger than ever. The past no longer held them captive. The future lay before them, bright and full of promise.

And as Rudra’s breathing steadied, and he fell into a peaceful sleep beside her, Kashish realized that this was their happy ending—their hellish love had transformed into something beautiful, something sacred.

The darkness was behind them, and now, there was only light.

And love.

The end of one chapter, the beginning of forever.
