Chapter 283 - You do not need a reason to say ‘no’ to me

Just as Akash reached his closet to get a t-shirt for himself, he heard a rustling sound from inside the bathroom. Now that was not such a surprise given Madhu was in but what was odd was that along with rustling sound, there was also the sound of her yelping.

Akash unconsciously went in and the bath was actually open.

"Madhu, are you okay there?" He asked out loud as he opened and went in only to find Madhu trying to reach the controls of the shower while simultaneously trying to avoid the hot water spraying from them.

Akash quickly switched off the water.

"You okay?" He asked looking up at Madhu. But before she could answer, he noticed the slight redding on the back of her hands and frowned.

"I'm okay…" Madhu said flinging her hands but it was soon caught by Akash and he then went ahead and changed some settings on the shower and cold water piped out.

He tested first with his own hands before placing her hand. After letting the water for a while, he looked up and asked, "Are you okay now?"

Madhu had a mind to actually roll her eyes at his overdramatic concern if only she did not feel so awkward and embarrassed at the moment.

Anyways the water was not that hot, to begin with… it was just she was someone who is used to cold showers at home… so, her skin doesn't take hot water that well. So, it had slightly blushed. So, her problem was not her hands but the rest of the body.

She had worn a satin white blouse to the office today… and because of all the water, now the material was almost transparent sticking to her body like a second skin making her blush. So, she just stood there awkwardly biting her lips as Akash let cold water run through the back of her hands.

Akash frowned and at last, actually looked up at her seeing as she was not replying. A quick glance at her and his mind went down the gutter in seconds.

Akash quickly let go of his hands and straightened his back but his eyes still kept at her… focused especially on her abused pair of lips.

He cleared his throat unconsciously as he took one step closer to her. Madhu took a step back involuntarily. Akash took another step… and Madhu took a step back… but cold marbles hit on her back when she tried to take another step.

That is when panic set in… she was fl.u.s.tered beyond reason as the person in front of her. Akash was standing almost directly under to cold shower but somehow looking at Madhu, his body did not seem to cool down at all. He placed his hands on both sides while simultaneously preventing her from splashing any more water.

"A-A-Akash!!" She murmured nervously. Her stammering was contributed both by the cold water and the close proximity between them.

Akash's eyes did not deter. He kept his eyes trailed on her face as his hands sn.a.k.e.d around her waist making Madhu shiver unconsciously.

In one swift tug, Madhu was slammed against his n.a.k.e.d chests as fiery hot eyes met with her tentative ones.

"Akash!!" Madhu exclaimed more surprised this time… after all, the floor was slippery and the water was still running… his move brought her completely under the splashing shower.

Akash snapped when he heard her. His eyes were no longer dazed… but he still did not let her go. His eyes still were focused on her lips. By then, Madhu had bitten on it to the point it was already red.

"Can I?" He asked in a hoarse voice. His hands gently wiping away the wet hair sticking in front of her eyes.

Madhu's eyes widened instantly as they stared back at his… Only an idiot would not understand what he was talking about and thankfully so, she was no idiot.

So, she understood what he was asking her and her heart instantly jumped out of her ribs hammering. Her mind exploded. The pressure she put on her lips increased…

Water was still running down both of them but neither of them seems to care at the moment.

"All you have to say is 'no', Madhu… nothing else. So, stop abusing your lips…" Akash, at last, said breaking the silence between them while his thumb reached out to pry her lips out of her biting teeth.

"You do not need a reason to say 'no' to me Madhu…" He whispered the last part as he pecked on her forehead gently and disentangled himself away from her fully.

You should understand, Madhu had grown up in a completely different environment. A really conservative one. Just by the fact that she has a boyfriend and she was here alone with him would give raise to scorn from most of her adoptive family… Sometimes, even the way she gets along with Karthick is frowned upon by her adoptive mother. Karthick gave her the courage to venture outside her comfort zone… he was the one who taught her how to have fun with her life. And everything they both did was a secret just between the two of them. And since Karthick is Madhu's adoptive mother's best friend's kid, her mother usually let it slide even when she had suspicions.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#%E2%80%98no%E2%80%99-to-me_51928941069388075">#%E2%80%98no%E2%80%99-to-me_51928941069388075</a> for visiting.

But these principles and values, whether right or wrong, had been with her since she was young. And being the obedient kid she was, never questioned them, unlike Karthick.

So, she was really having a hard time getting used to everything that came along with Akash…

But in spite of herself, her hands gripped around his fingers as she saw Akash turn away from her…

Her voice failed her… she did not know what she wanted to convey. Things were just so messy on her head. All she could do was look at him with her wide panicked eyes.

Akash just caressed soothingly over her arms and pecked over her brows all over again and said, "Quickly wash up and come down. You must be starving."
