Charan laid on the bed staring at the ceiling with his legs dangling off of the bed. His couch had been confiscated by Bharath. So he had no other option but the crash with Shreya. The kids were already fast asleep in the guest room. And Shreya was in the bathroom for a quick shower. Except for the noise of the shower running, the whole room was deadly quiet. Outside Bharath was still watching something but the noise did not reach inside the bedroom.
After a while, the shower sound stopped. And a few minutes later, Shreya's footsteps were heard with a rustling sound of her towel.
Charan did not look at her… he was deep in thoughts when he suddenly felt a spray of water over her face. When he looked up, he was met with Shreya ruffling her very wet hair over him in her oversized t-shirt that almost fully covered her shorts under it. When she realized Charan's eyes on her, she stuck her tongue out with a mischievous grin.
But before Charan could get up from the place, she ran to the other side of the room laughing it off.
"Serves you right!! This is what you call tit-for-tat!!" Shreya said with a very smug look. For some reason, she always holds a grudge on people who ends up waking her up in an unruly way. And Pritham knows the pain of her revenge better than anyone else since he ends up waking her up on all sorts of occasions mainly due to his loud mouth.
"You are so getting for this…" Charan said wiping his face up and chasing after her. But because of the limited space, he couldn't really gain any real speed on her and she kept slipping away from his grasp slyly laughing it off.
But then when he did catch her, she shrieked loudly making Charan lose his grip startled and she once again slipped away. This time around she mounted on her study table… to serve what purpose he did not know. Because even on top of it, she did not really gain much on his height but the table itself was long enough to move around.
"Shreya, you are going to wake up the kids. Keep quiet…" Charan hushed walking towards her. He could have been rest-assured if the table was empty but then it was not the case. There were clip stands filled with needles, table lamps, and stuff that she can easily trip over or get hurt stepping on.
"They won't hear us. Rooms are soundproofed!!" Shreya answered pouting and taking a step away from him on the table.
"Shreya, stop playing around…" Charan ordered trying to get to her side of the table. But she kept walking around on the table like a little kid from one corner to another.
"First tell me you won't wake me up like that tomorrow. You did this to me once and I did it back. So we are even. No blowbacks after this. I hate being wakened up like that…" Shreya complained pointing fingers. But for once since Charan stayed put, so even she did not move around on the table.
"Well, you hate being waken-up period. No matter how it is done!!" Charan stated while rolling his eyes.
"Yes�� but being sprayed with cold water is the worse…" Shreya argued back. But in her vigor, she actually took a step towards Charan without even looking down as to where she was stepping on and almost stepped on a paperweight.
"Shreya…" Charan exclaimed concerned and rushed to her side of the table and relented with her, "Okay… I won't wake you up like that. Now can you please get down from there before you end up falling face-first on the floor…." He said scolding her. He did not even know how she got up there so quickly or why. But the way she moved around over it so carelessly gave him mini shockwaves and he was losing his patience.
That is when Shreya realized she was actually standing on the study table moving around like a monkey on a tree. But before she could jump down, Charan took the opportunity of her momentary distraction and lifted in off of the table.
Shreya yelped in surprise and circled her arms around him.
"Charan, you scared me…" Shreya exclaimed.
Charan rolled his eyes and lightly slapped her on her back and said, "Serves you right for being so careless and walking on a damn table…"
Shreya pouted and said sulking, "Let me down now." But when he did not relent, she bent down and bit his ears.
"Shreya…" Charan exclaimed and flung her on the bed as softly as possible. But before she could escape once again, he hovered over her trapping her with his body.
When Shreya looked up at him and met his eyes, even though they did not seem angry… They still seemed slightly irritated or something.
Charan had long gotten used to her antics. But even then he felt like an only a.d.u.l.t in the relationship and he felt that it was his responsibility to keep her restrained so that she won't go too much over the board and get into serious trouble. So he often put up a front.
But Shreya did not know that. So she thought she had seriously irritated him. SO she kept quiet and looked at him with her big brown eyes as innocently as she could.
Charan slightly softened his stance seeing this but then next second Shreya's eyes changed to mischief all over again and she leaned forwards and licked on the place she just bit with one clean sweep of her tongue.
Charan's eyes widened and darkened simultaneously while Shreya let out a giggle at his frozen face. A full minute passed but once he came back to his senses, Charan leaned over and captured her laughing lips with his own for a deep punishing kiss. His lips were just a tad bit more harsh than usual and just a whole lot more intense. His lips were fierce as they sucked on her. When it did not satisfy him, his two fingers pulled on her chins and his tongue plunged into her tasting her whole.
An uncontrollable whimper escaped from Shreya as she desperately clung to him. Gone were the easy-going atmosphere… in its place, an intense atmosphere filled the air filled with groans and whimpers as both of them tried their best to pull each other closer to themselves. When Charan, at last, let go of her lips, she took deep breaths while Charan's lips buried themselves behind her ears doing magic. Shreya shifted her head giving him better access while her own hands started to explore under his shirts.
Her hands against his bare skin were like a catalyst to his already burning body. He buried his face in the crooks of her neck as a harsh grunt escaped his lips, "Shreya…." He groaned as his own hands itched desperately to touch her.
Shreya's hands, on the other hand, got bolder and started unbuttoning his disheveled shirt while her lips found his for another round of breathless kiss.
When they pulled away from the kiss, her eyes were met with his bare chest with his shirt hanging open on both sides. Shreya's eyes instantly gleamed as she let her hands and lips feast on him like a dessert.
Charan jaws stiffened and he bit on his tongues to do his best to restrain himself from losing his mind but Shreya was not really making it easy. His panting just got worse when he felt her teeth and tongue just above his n.i.p.p.l.es.
He groaned and pulled her head to face him. And he was met with extremely dazed eyes, swollen lips, and pink cheeks, and none of them eased anything in him. He dipped and once again kissed her already swollen lips and his own hands slipped under her t-shirt. And when Shreya felt his warm hands against her skin, a m.o.a.n escaped her lips and her body arched voluntarily into his touch.
But just as his hands moved a little bit higher, Shreya's eyes suddenly became sharp while her whole body stiffened and her hands swiftly caught his hand and kept them from moving around.
Charan pulled away and looked at her confused but Shreya was in no state to reply. She was busy panting for air while her eyes were agitated.
"Charan… It's not… It's just…" Shreya tried to speak in between her heavy breathing and retracted her hands nervously.
Charan leaned over and pecked on her temple and rested his forehead trying to calm her, "Shh… It's okay, sweetheart. First breath… It's okay…" He whispered but he did not dare to move his hand even an inch even though she had retracted hers. But then he also noticed something slightly rough under his thumbs just below her rib bones. It was very faint… if Shreya hadn't reacted the way she did, he probably wouldn't have noticed it. But then when he thought about it, it almost felt like a scar. So he slightly understood what was happening and so did not ask her anything.
