46. Love Freezing in Ice Cave Bar

As Dev couldn’t spot Akshara, he snapped his fingers. The entire Frozen Crescent paused for a moment, Dev searched for Akshara and found she was hiding behind the bar table.
Dev approached Akshara. He could see the frozen tears on her cheeks, which were about to touch the ground. He grabbed her and placed his palm on her cheeks while his thumb was attempting to wipe her tears under her masquerade mask.
Akshara was also frozen in time, just like other things stood still. Dev smiled at her, saying, “I found you. You look amazing in your look. I wonder how can you obsess me being human?”
Akshara stood like a statue and Dev take a closure look at her, “Let me look at you. Huh, that exotic eyes got me obsessed. (He pointed at her eyes) My heart tangled in your eyes..”
He snapped his fingers again to bring everything back to reality. Akshara was shocked to find he was standing before her.
Dev stepped forward towards Akshara; she stepped backwards as Dev forwards. Dev went close to Akshara locked her in a place and extended his bare hands toward her.
His actions terrified Akshara. Her eyes blinked frequently to judge his motive. She tightened her hold on the wine bottle she holds and it heavily heaved her chest to fill more oxygen in her lungs. She murmured, “What have you done to me?”
Dev looked at her frightened face slow down his process of consoling her and soon changed his motive. He grabbed an empty glass behind her and gestured with his icy blue eyes to fill his glass with wine.
Akshara did her work without looking at his eyes with a little tremble. Dev soon emptied his glass and asked her for more. Akshara filled his glass again. Dev did the same and asked her again with the motive of grabbing her eyes.
After repeated actions of Dev, it filled the wine bottle with air, as all the drops of wine were drunk by Dev. Akshara maintained her eyes low and didn’t want to look at him through his eyes. But she found the blood drops in golden colour on his palm and she wondered, “What’s that could be?”
Dev opened his mouth and asked Akshara, “Fill my glass...”
Akshara replied by lowering her eyes, “Your majesty, the bottle is empty... So you can call for another wine lady to fill your glass.”
Dev retorted to her, “I want only you to fill my glass... get the wine... You have only the time of ten-blinks of my eyelids.”
His words infuriated Akshara and caused her face to turn red in anger. She raised her eyes, stared at Dev with her sharp fierce look and bitted her teeth, causing her temple to bulge.
Dev liked the changes in her facial expressions and wanted to explore more of her expressions. He came even more closure to her side. His breath hitched on her neck, which caused her goosebumps to arousal.
Dev smiled at her, an unknown chillness ran down her spines when Dev touched her hands to ease her goosebumps and he voiced in her ears, “This is for ignoring me earlier.”
Akshara breathed fire in anger and rushed to get another bottle, thinking, “I must not manipulate by him”.
Akshara went to Ember and asked for the wine. “Ember, get me a wine bottle.”
Ember asked her, “Axe... Is that you? My dragon god, you look stunning. You refused when I call, but how did you come here...”
Akshara interrupted her, “Ember... Let’s talk about this in our chambers. Hand me the wine bottle immediately. A devil is roaring over there.”
Ember asked, “Devil, Who you are serving?”
Akshara asked intense tone of anger filled face, “Timber, Is that important?”
Ember replied, “Yes, Axe. Here, four types of wines are there. Everyone prefers their favourite. Tell me, whom do you serve?”
Akshara replied in anger tone turning her face away, “It’s your crown prince.”
Ember screamed to hear the word crown prince, “Oh... my charming prince. Axe, you are so lucky to serve him... give him this. He would love this taste.”
Akshara asked her, “What’s this called?”
Ember said, “Red wine is his favourite but let him try the Eternal Bliss. You know what this eternal bliss would bring to the drinker...?”
Akshara told grabbing the wine bottle, “Who cares? Just give me anything.”
While in her rush, she bombarded Karen, who was moving quickly in search of Akshara, trying to locate her with her smell by penetrating himself into the crowd of Ayruzians.
Akshara missed her step. Some wines were spat on the floor and Karen helped her to get on her feet. Karen failed to recognise his love, Akshara, even though she was an inch away from him. His instinct tingled in his mind, but Karen couldn’t decipher what his instinct informing him.
But Karen had a spark in his brain and sniffed her scent in her blood to identify his love. As her blood scent was long changed by Dev while saving her from the fight with the king of the raven wizard. So she won’t have her natural fragrance, rather she has the fragrance of Dev, the crown prince of the Ayruzglow kingdom.
Before his brain sent him signals, Akshara replied, “Pardon my ignorance and thank you for helping me. I am in a rush...”
Karen found the familiarity of dialect and similarity in the sound of her voice. An unusual chillness ran down his spines in a shock and he found his hands were floating in the air towards her face to remove the mask, calling her, “Axe...”
As she couldn’t hear anything in the noise of music, Akshara smiled at him and left the place in a hurry.
Akshara found something odd and thought to herself, “Why does this man’s physic look familiar to me…? Do I know him? Oh, no… I am lacking time… That Devil is waiting is for me… Ha… Devil… Nice name for him… I must hurry.”
Karen followed her by calling her name. Soon Karen lost the track of her as there were many crowds and everyone was wearing a mask.
The enraged Nora wanted to revenge on Akshara, even though Akshara did nothing improperly to offend her. Nora extended her leg in the path where Akshara could reach Dev.
As expected by Nora, Akshara lost her gravity under her leg and fell over Dev with the lid-open wine bottle. It drenched Dev in the wine of Eternal Bliss flavour. He felt humiliated and his temper instructed him to revenge on Akshara soon.
So he pulled Akshara towards him. The bottle in her hand twisted and emptied on Akshara. She too drenched in the remaining wine from the bottle.
His actions of Dev irritated Akshara and tried to push him away from her. The slippery floor tricked her into falling on him. They both reached the floor while Dev locked his lips with hers and he deeply sucked the wine dipped lips of Akshara.
The Eternal Bliss of wine indeed gave them eternal bliss involving the couples in hot passionate love which was hidden and locked in their hearts. The surrounding air turned hot and Dev never wanted to end this bliss quickly.
Dev found he was intoxicated heavily by the wine from her lips. He made Akshara swallow some wine through his smooch to experience the torture he has been suffering since he met her.
As the density of wine was thick to withstand the least possibility of consciousness, her mind wavered from thought to thought by responding to him unconsciously.
“Why I am always meeting him like this? I was very much aware that I shouldn’t fall for him but ended up falling on him...” Akshara’s mind voiced while Dev caught her lips.
Dev could feel the emergence of his wings, so he rolled her down and drifted over her. His wings emerged to cover them, to let them spend time with each other in the taste of Eternal Bliss.
Dev flirted by parting his lips under the coverage of his wings with Akshara. “Fancy meeting you here.”
Akshara replied in her semi realization, “We should stop meeting like this.”
Dev smirked at Akshara while planting his kisses on her lips with the motive of tasting more wines from her, “I asked you to serve wine in my glass, but you have your unique way to serve me...”
He tasted his lips with his tongue, which gave Akshara a blush at his actions. Akshara trembled under his winged arms. “I don’t mean to... I don’t know how I lost my gravity.”
Dev reacted by holding her head in his hand. “Don’t blame gravity, my dear. It is me who falls for you. Both your lips and eyes are intoxicating me more than all the wine in this Frozen Crescent.”
Akshara told him in shock and fear, “It’s my worst destiny to meet you...”
Dev mentioned, “I don’t know why I am not getting enough of you.” he bites her lower lips once again to make her respond to his actions. He enjoyed her surrender to him.
Akshara opened her eyes wide and shook her head randomly to break his action, “What... Move away... Everyone is watching us, you’re… Your girlfriend will watch us... She will get mad at you... Move”
Dev caught her hands, “As I told you, I don’t have any girlfriend in my past...” and placed her hands above her head, which was disturbing his action of intimacy with her and continued to suck her lips.
Akshara processed his words in her mind and came to consciousness that she was responding to his actions. She turned her head right and left to break his action and wanted to ask, “Those have happened in my dreams. How did you know about it...”
Dev answered her by burying his head in the crook of her neck in the action of embedding his kisses on her neck and jawline, “You haunt me in my dreams too, darling... Tell me, do I have a fair fortune to have a girlfriend in my future?”
Akshara struggled to release his hold and said with heavy blush and panting, “I am uncertain of mine. How do I know about your future...? Stop”
Dev, with a pause, narrowed his eyes with hers, suddenly opened his heart, which was beating heavily, and pulled out some courage from his heart and confessed to Akshara, “Will you be my future...? Come with me to my castle.”
The sudden rush of her blood to her cheeks made her blush, and she found herself falling for his words. Suddenly she felt he stopped the entire world from its spinning and could not inhale any air by listening to his words.
Akshara wanted to say YES to him but feared his position in the kingdom and remembered the words of Ruko. While Nora was shouting and called his name repeatedly to part them.
Akshara replied, “I am not coming anywhere and I am not your future. Your future is shouting over there, calling you to stop your actions with me. Leave me and move away with your future.”
