My Destination, My Bondita

101 - The Different States of Love

Bondita was leaning even closer to him, her fingers on his cheeks. Anirudh was rendered breathless by her request. 

Before she could touch her lips to his, he leaned into her ear and whispered, "Bondita, why don't you let me kiss you where I want today?"

Bondita's breaths became uneven, her heart pounding inside her chest, as Anirudh cradled her face in his hands. He brought his lips to her forehead and kissed her softly. Then his lips met her cheek and again, he planted a soft kiss there. 

Bondita couldn't help it, he was so close to her. Their lips may not be touching but this act felt very intimate and raw. His soft kisses on her face was making her knees go weak. She was feeling the same sensations between her legs, and all of sudden, she was filled with guilt once again. 

What was happening to her? 

As Anirudh reached to kiss her other cheek, Bondita brought her hands to his chest and pushed him back gently, causing him to look at her with surprise. 

Bondita had never pushed away his kisses before. 

"Roshogullas!" Bondita said, stumbling away from him towards the roshogullas, in an attempt to change the subject and distract her mind from her guilty feelings. 

Anirudh smiled and followed her to the table where the roshogullas were kept. Bondita opened one handi and declared, "I'm not sharing!" 

He laughed, as she reached in the handi and took a roshogulla out, putting the whole thing in her mouth at once. 

"Mmmm," she said, licking her lips, as he watched her admiringly. 

She reached for another roshogulla and put that one in her mouth as well. When she picked the next roshogulla, she held it to his mouth. With a smile, he was about to eat it, but she quickly put it in her own mouth instead, giggling.

Anirudh gave her a warning look, a smile on his lips, as Bondita kept laughing. 

"Okay, okay," she said, and took out another roshogulla, holding it to his lips again. 

Bondita teasingly, was about to put it back in her own mouth, when he grabbed her hand and brought the roshogulla to his mouth, his lips closing over her fingers gently as he did so. 

Her breath got stuck in her throat when she felt his lips on her fingers. Nervous, she pulled her hand away from his mouth, and opened another handi of roshogullas, trying to distract herself again.

She pulled out a roshogulla to put in her mouth again, but Anirudh grabbed her wrist. 

He had a teasing smile on his face, and Bondita couldn't help but giggle. She pulled her hand out of his grasp and started to run past the table, around the open space of the terrace. He chased her as she ran. She had a roshogulla in one of her hands, and she was holding the handi in her other hand as she ran. 

She was laughing, as he ran after her. He was also smiling, as he chased his Bondita. Anirudh managed to grab hold of the handi from her hand. 

She gasped as he snatched the handi away from her, but she wasn't done running and he wasn't done chasing, because it wasn't the handi that he was after, nor was it the roshogullas.

Anirudh was after his roshogulla, his Bondita. 

She glanced backwards at him, her heart hammering, and she tripped over the blanket that Anirudh had kept on the side of the bedsheet for stargazing. 

"Aaah!" she screamed, squeezing her eyes shut, and Anirudh dived down, placing his hand under her head just in the nick of time. 

Bondita's head landed on the palm of Anirudh's hand, as Anirudh landed on top of her, his free hand, somehow managing to save the handi of roshogullas. One of Bondita's hands was still clutching her roshogulla.
