Page 230 of Rudra Nandani: The Saga of Control And Seduction

“That is so deep for a girl like you, Nandani,” he said, and I gulped softly.

“When I saw Suman crying because of it, I questioned myself,” I began.“It was her husband's fault that he cheated on her. But a part of me always believed it was our society’s fault, for not preparing Suman for what marriage truly demands. They speak so sweetly about marriage, like it's a fairy tale where two people live happily ever after, but they never discuss the real source of that happiness.

When two people come together, physical attraction is often the first bond. Emotional, mental, and spiritual connections come much later, often after conflicts arise.

Thousands of relationships break early simply because people lack understanding, conversation, and education. Leave others, every man and woman must first understand themselves beforestepping into a relationship. Know what needs you seek to fulfill. Ask yourself, do you even need a relationship? Where are your boundaries? What are your insecurities? What lines cannot be crossed, even for love?

Love isn’t just about surrendering completely and allowing the other to do anything in its name. Learning about seduction isn’t just about fulfilling needs; it’s about control, communication, and nurturing a relationship. Whether people agree or not, it does affect them.

Neither man nor woman should lose themselves so much in the name of love that they forget where their lines are.

Because emotional, mental, and spiritual health cannot exist without physical well-being. They say God resides inside you, so how can love come only from outside?”

“That's true,” he said, his voice soft with understanding.

I nodded.“Exactly. Love comes from within. Understanding your needs, your desires, your limits—it’s your responsibility first, before it becomes anyone else's,”

He smiled warmly and kissed my cheek.“I think I have an idea for you,” he said, making me frown slightly.

“For me? What?”

Still smiling, he said,“I completely agree with what you're saying. That’s why I want you to discuss this with the women of Suryagarh,”

My brows furrowed deeper.“Me? How could I? My parents don’t even know I learned all this,”

He kissed my cheek again.“You don’t have to do it personally. But you can lead it. We can bring in masters who can educate women about these things. We can't force them to listen, but taking a step is better than remaining silent,”

I smiled, biting my lower lip, thinking about it.

“See, that’s the true power of seduction,” I teased.“A man is a beast, and only an angel can tame him,”

He chuckled and kissed my forehead.“I love you even more, Nandani,”

I closed my eyes, and we kept talking while sitting in the water.

After our bath, we stepped out and walked into the dressing room, watching each other get ready. He picked a white kurta, and I chose the attire he had bought for me.

After dressing, I called him over to tie the knot of my blouse. Hehappily obliged.

He sat on the chair by the dressing table, wearing his kurta and dhoti, silently admiring me as I got ready. His lips curled into a playful smile, and his teasing began.

“I think sex suits you,” he said.

I narrowed my eyes while fixing my earring.“What do you mean?”

Clicking his tongue mischievously, he said,“You're gaining weight... and your breasts are getting bigger,”

His voice was so slow and teasing that I burst into laughter.

“How dare you! You didn't even notice if my hair’s gotten longer, but you’re worried about my breasts?”

He laughed, making animated hand gestures.“You know, earlier it was this," he said, mimicking a smaller size,“And now it’s this,” he teased, opening his hands wider.

I smacked his hand away, shaking my head.“You don't like it?” I asked, making a sad face.

Suddenly, he pulled me onto his lap, hugging me tightly.

“I love every inch of you, Nandani. Every inch,” he said sincerely.
