Bewitched

Chapter 93

Srusti's POV

I put the cake and tarts to bake and simultaneously, I started preparing breakfast and lunch for everyone Everything was ready within an hour.
The lady helped me in chopping veggies and doing other small things.

Maa had soaked Rajma ( kidney beans) and Sabut urad daal so I prepared Makhni daal and mixed veg  along with onion pulav for lunch and
Veg upma and grilled paneer sandwiches for breakfast.

I had finished icing the cake and was finishing last batch of tarts when Maya di came with the kids. Viren came running to the kitchen followed by Myra.

" Mami !!! Good morning! Did you make them?? " Viren asked, though he was looking at them.

" Of course, why would I not?? " I smiled. I had already packed both the things packed in boxes and handed them their box.

" Wow !! They look yummy! Which flavour is this? " Myra said.

" Raspberry tarts and Marble cake with chocolate and vanilla. Want a taste??" I asked and they nodded.

I took two spoons and scooped up some of the mixture. They just loved it. The look of pure pleasure on their faces as they licked the spoons clean, made me laugh. I was still smiling when Mohit came back ready to go to the office.

" Hey, I want to taste it too,"  he said.

" We love you, Mami !! "  Viren said and hugged me.

" I love you too. " I said and hugged him back.  Myra kissed my cheek with a cute smile and I pecked her forehead.

The kids went out with their boxes and I was about to pick up the platters on which I had served cake and tarts for everyone.

" I also love you... "  I heard Mohit saying in my ear and he hugged me holding me tight. My back against his hard chest.

" Leave me... "

" No, I said, I love you just like them, but you didn't say it back. I should get better treatment than this, after all, I am your husband. At least do give me a proper hug. "  He took the plates from my hand and placed them on the kitchen counter.

" Why should I say it, if I don't feel so?? " He let me go out of his arms.

" Means you love them but not me? "

" Exactly!!! " He looked a bit hurt. I felt bad for being blunt.

" Ok, let me taste that at least." He said looking intensely at me.

I took out a clean spoon, scooped out some filling and gave it to Mohit. He came to stand very close beside me. My body started feeling something weird again. My nerve endings vibrating in awareness of his proximity.

I had intended to merely hand him just the spoon but his fingers got entangled with mine closing firmly over them.

My hand shook a bit and half of the contents of the heaped teaspoon ended up on my fingers.

I tried to pull my hand back but he was holding it firmly. He started tasting the contents from the spoon. I tried not to watch the way his tongue licked the spoon clean. 

But what shocked me the most was when he removed the spoon and then lifted my sticky fingers to his mouth first licking away the spilt raspberry filling and then slowly sucking my fingers clean.

I had never felt a sensation like this before so my body almost paralysed and I kept standing there in shock unable to move a limb.

I felt my entire body had turned to liquid. It seemed unbelievable that just a simple thing should have such a devastating effect on my senses the minute his tongue had touched my skin my stomach had dropped like high-speed lift while my pulse rate had accelerated way past its normal level.
