Chapter 56

"Sindhu...." Gautham bellowed. His voice echoed throughout the house. If their family was there, his voice would have long woke them up. Thankfully Aruna and Govind were out of town.

Sindhu stomped down the stairs with an expression that was ready to burn him.

"Gautham, for god's sakes it's the middle of the night. Can you be a little more considerate about the neighbors??? People are sleeee…." She scolded him as she descended the stairs in the dark but then her voice stuck when she saw him holding a cake with his signature goofy grin that looked super attractive in candle light.

"Happy birthday baby." He said softly walking towards her.

Sindhu stood there stunned. It's not that she forgot her birthday. She was just not used to celebrating it. Her parents were not party kinda of people. And after going to Bangalore, it was a blessing if she even remembered it in the first place. So for them this situation was completely foreign. She never blew a candle and made a wish. She never had people wish her at the middle of the night. So she did not know how to react. She just stood their frozen.

Sindhu came out of her trance at last. She really wanted to pounce him at the moment. She was already blown away by his sweet gesture. She did not really want any more than this.

"No… This is perfect." Sindhu said in a throaty voice suppressing her emotions.

Gautham sighed in relief. He really wanted to plan a grand party for her. But somehow nothing panned out as he wanted. So he settled for this. For a second their when he saw her blank expression, he panicked thinking she was disappointed or something. But now seeing her glittering eyes, he at last relaxed.

"Go on. Blow up the candle and make a wish." Gautham said gently.

Sindhu obediently blew the candle after closing her eyes for a few seconds.

"Many more happy returns of the day baby." Gautham said one more time and leaned down and gave her a lingering kiss on her lips.

Sindhu whined in protest when he pulled away too soon for her satisfaction.

When she was still distracted, Gautham quickly scooped some of the cream off the cake and smudged it all over her face.

"Gautham…" Sindhu bellowed in surprise. Gautham quickly ran away with the cake afraid she would reciprocate him.

But Sindhu did not even reach for the cake. Instead she glared at him and scolded him, "Do not waste food." She hated it when people wasted food. So she never really indulged in this kind of petty games. She had creamed smudged all over her face and her neck. After all her face was pretty small compared to his big warm hands.

Seeing that he won't be attacked, Gautham kept the cake on the table and came towards Sindhu. He quickly scooped her into his arms and sat her down on the table beside the cake. As usual he stood in the front stranding her.

Sindhu did not stop glaring at him. As far as him manhandling her was concerned, she had long gotten used to it now. Maybe it's because of their height difference; Gautham just kept doing this with her. After a while, she stopped complaining about it seeing as all her words were going through one ear and immediately exited through the other.

"I won't waste food anymore. I swear." Gautham said solemnly and sincerely but then again Sindhu did not notice the sneaky mischievous smirk formed so slightly on the corner of his lips.

"It's oka…." she started but before she could finish what she was about to say Gautham leaned in and licked the cream off of her cheeks on one full sweep of his tongue.

Sindhu was once again stunned by his antics.

"Gautham, what are you doing???" Sindhu asked in surprise.

"Of course I am preventing the food from going waste." Gautham said cheekily as he then leaned over and sucked on her chin with an open mouth.

The taste of her skin along with the sweet cream felt absolutely heavenly. His tongue greedily licked on them without restrain.

"Gaut…." Sindhu started wanting to protest but it soon turned into a throaty moan when Gautham dipped further down and sucked on her neck right on her sweet spot. Sindhu closed her eyes and relished on the pleasure helplessly.

Seeing her enjoying herself, "You are always right baby. We should never waste food." He said teasingly against her ears while sneaking taking some more cream from the cake and slowly smudged them all over her starting from her neck until the dip of her cleavage.

Sindhu was already dazed when she felt his hands trail over her skin smearing the cream all over her. But when she felt his tongue follow the path of his fingers just moments later, she lost all her senses.

The cream was cold and sticky on her skin while his tongue was hot and gentle. This combination was driving her absolutely crazy in pleasure. Her skin burnt hot on all places his tongue trailed. She subconsciously angled her head giving him better access while keeping her eyes shut.

Gautham on the other hand at last looked up at her when he was done licking all the cream off of her cleanly. Sindhu looked absolutely ravishing at the moment. Her face was completely dazed in pleasure while her mind was completely muddled without know what she was doing or where she was.

Gautham was intoxicated just by seeing her.

He pinched a small piece of cake from the corner. His thumbs pried open her lips and smudged them inside her mouth.

"Happy birthday baby, "he said in a hoarse voice before latching his lips to hers. Sindhu responded desperately drawing his closer while deepening the kiss. She did not really even realize the cake on her mouth until the sweet taste spread through her when he plunged his tongue.

The sweet cake along with the intoxicating taste of her mouth completely robbed Gautham of his senses. Even though he was the one who started teasing her, at that moment he accepted defeat. He quickly scooped her by his hips and rushed to their bed room as the cake sat abandoned in the table long forgotten by the couple.
