"Rey chaliye na kitchen mein chal ke aam khate hain .." Kria trying very hard to coax and divert her highly engrossed husband who was busy nuzzling her neck ..
" Nah .. " A bit annoyed .. He bit hard on her pulsating vein .. and his hands which were already beneath her saree started squeezing her soft bare waist harshly ..
"Umm "
Before she lost control , she again tried "Please" trying to keep her hands to herself .. because if she wound them around his neck .. he would know she was already loving his sweet and tortuous treatments .. Not that he didn't already know with the moans which were passing out of her mouth ..
"Meri family ne aaj kitne din baad tumhe choda hai … I can't leave u now " he started placing wet kisses down her collar bone and then trailing down her throat …. nipping and biting tenderly her soft flesh .. meanwhile his one hand slipped her blouse off one shoulder .. and the other was creeping below her navel to release the tightly fitted pleats ..
Kria had her eyes shut .. and was arching her back .. her body fluctuating under the hard pressure from Rey's weight .. clutching the bedsheet with her hands .. still trying to control her flying emotions ..
"Eat it tomorrow" he growled when he realized that her hands were not on him and he started squeezing her curves to stimulate the much desired response from her ..
Her eyes snapped open at his voice .. " Nahi mujhe abhi Khana hai .. who mere Dadaji ke farm ke hain" she wailed ..
He came up and looked in her eyes fiercely .. she could see that he was angry .. " Don't act like a kid now".. he grunted at his own state where he was so aroused and his wife could only think of mangoes .. Urgghh !!!
"No am not" she scowled .. she knew this was her only escape .. she tried shifting below him ..
"Yes you are .. And if you want .. " suddenly he smiled wickedly at her .. she blinked at his sudden change in reaction .. "Jaan abhi tum mujhe kha sakti ho .. Mangoes can wait .. " he smirked .. and then laughed as she narrowed her brows ..
This really irked her .. Mango was her favorite fruit... She was mad for it.. Moreover 6 boxes had been sent by her Dadaji .. It was for the whole family .. but she knew one full box was just for her .. she was capable of eating all that .. She had very fond memories of going to his farm and eating mangoes ..
How dare Rey make fun of her and ignore what she really wanted at the moment …
She suddenly pushed Rey off her .. As a befuddled Rey rolled on the side on the bed . .she stood up .. adjusted her saree and walked out muttering angrily " Aap ko kya pata aam khane ka mazza .. "
He smirked .. " Oh .. mujhe nahi pata .. " he scratched his chin a bit .. " Now that u have challenged me .. U will have to bear its consequences which I can guarantee u , will not be good for u " and he ran his fingers thru his hair and ran behind her ..

Kria saw the boxes kept in the corner on the kitchen counter .. There was a small night bulb on .. She decided not to switch on the main light as it might wake somebody in the house ..
She carefully opened one of the boxes and then inserted her hand in the hay filled box to search for her perfect mango .. she smelled it to gauge whether it had ripened enough to be eaten or no ..
She closed her eyes and smiled blissfully .. "Hmm " .. when her nostrils inhaled the exact same scent of the fruit which she had eaten every year from the time she was 2 ..
She was about to go and wash it when she felt her husband's hands sliding around her waist .. securely holding on to her ..
"Rey .. please don't disturb me now .. " she said a bit irritated ..
"Of course not , Jaan .. I am not going to interfere at all with your mango eating .. I am just here to tell how I would eat a mango .. "
A surprised Kria turned to him .. "Really" she smiled innocently
"Yes .. you can have as many mangoes as you want .. "
Her smile widened as she realized that Rey had understood her and would let her have mangoes till her heart was content ..
"Here .. come let me show you .. it would be a very different experience from how you have been eating mangoes for all your life till now .. "
"Ok.. "
"Am sure Jaan .. after this whenever you will see a mango you will just remember me .. and nothing else .. "
"Wow .. " she said handing him the mango ..
He again placed the mango in her hands .. turned her .. wrapped his hands over hers .. and took her to the sink ..
He opened the tap .. and then placed their hands under the cold running water ..
"Ok .. first I wash the mango .. Gently.. pour the water carefully all over it .. no no .. don't be harsh .. caress it with care .. it's a precious mango that I am gonna eat .. move the hand smoothly on the right part and then slowly on the left part .. if there is any dirt on it ..which am sure will not be found .. remove it with fingers very cautiously .. I don't want the mango to be hurt ..rite ? try to feel the skin .. the little creases on it because its ripening .. the smoothness at some parts .. coarseness at other parts .. the little firm tip .. just move your index finger over it .. you might find it a bit stiff .. no problem .. just shake off any dirt over it ..
Then keep it on a dry towel .. "
All the while Kria could feel Rey's fingers playing lovingly with her hands and fingers .. sometimes caressing it .. she was feeling really nice with his fingers running over hers ..
But .. she came out of her trance when she saw the mango ..
"Lets peel it fast and eat it .. I can't wait .. "
"Patience Jaan .. patience .. sabar ka phal meetha hota hai " he gave a sweet smile ..
"Ok"
"Now we peel it with our hands .. ok .. this way .. first we want to make sure when we eat .. we get the maximum pleasure out of it .. rite .. so we squeeze it a bit .. first we put pressure with fingers lightly all over it .. and then slowly increase the pressure .. then we take it in our hand and pat it .. stroke it .. feel it .. pinch it .. imagine how it would taste .. so that our taste buds are already salivating .. play with it so that it tastes heavenly from the first bite we have .. then as if kneading a dough we start to put even pressure on all the sides .. slowly it molds in our hand .. it becomes a little squishy squashy .. but that's all the more fun ..
Then we go to the top at the back of the mango ,the side which is not facing us and then graze a bit with a nail and then find the correct spot and slowly pull the skin … sometimes you might have to struggle a bit .. you know the skin might have slight knots .. but its only sometimes .. otherwise the peeling is very simple and smooth affair .. then slowly slide down another part of the skin from the right and then turn your attention to the left side .. peel off that part of the skin .. and then remains just the front .. "
Rey paused .. his chin was on Kria's shoulder .. and he just tilted his head and looked at her .. He could see from her expression that his little hand gestures were having an effect on her .. and of course his words were making her confused .. she looked so cute .. waiting in anticipation ..
He himself was totally aroused but he knew he had to control himself .. then he would just get exactly what he wanted ..
"Then pull the front part down .. and if there is any skin remaining .. just peel that off too .. now you are facing the lush and soft and yummy mangoes you have ever seen .. "
Kria tried to take a bite ..
"No no .. not so fast .. " he held her hand ..
She made a face and then again let him lead ..
"First just admire the beauty .. its not that every day that God bestows such beauty .. Try to eat it first with your eyes .. this actually aggravates your desire to bite into it ..
When you have devoured with your eyes to your heart's content .. you first lick it on all the sides .. leaving the tip … roll your tongue .. flick your tongue .. and then finally take the tip in your eagerly awaiting mouth .. take a deep breath and then dig your teeth in it and then suck it slowly .. inhale the scent to heighten your desire .. feel as the saliva mixes with the natural taste of the mango and you get this amazing and totally unique taste in your mouth .. then start to suck a little hard .. and take in slowly and steadily more and more of the mango in your mouth .. even though the size of the mango is larger than your mouth .. try as much as you can fit in .. it's a feeling you cannot word it ..
Along with sucking, bite it , nibble it .. graze it .. chew it .. as long as you want to .. the more you do the more excited you feel ..
Actually even after this I am never able to satiate my hunger .. but I have to look and take care of my other wishes also .. so at this point , I decide that I am done with the mango and I can look at another fruit to satisfy myself .. "
"Phew .. done .. this is the way I eat .. " he said .. trying to control himself like never before ..
Kria stood stunned .. she was just staring at the mango which was peeled and squashed to nothing but a pulp and she had not even got a taste of it in her mouth ..
She turned to Rey and glared .. "Is this the way you eat a mango .. " she was really angry with him to waste her precious time and mango ..
"No .. this is the way I bathe you with your clothes on and then peel them off you and then have your mangoes .. " he said with a straight face ..
Shocked .. Jolted .. Astonished .. Blown away .. Stunned .. well there could not be word in the dictionary to describe her expression at the moment ..
Her mouth fell open and her eyes popped out .. her cheeks had reached the darkest crimson shade ever found and body sweating with the heat of the words she had just heard .. the heat she felt was so strong that she knew her insides had already warmed up with them .. and her curves heavy with the emotions he had just profoundly worded it in such simple words .. but with a totally different meaning .. and her tips hard as nut almost tearing her fabric to be released and bask and melt in the glorious cavern full of hotness and gooeyness ..
Before she could react .. and respond ..
The lights were switched on ..
"Arre Kria .. tum is waqt kitchen mein ?" Her mother in law asked ..
"Huh .. "
She blinked twice at the sudden harsh light which illuminated the room suddenly .. she looked around helplessly searching for an already missing Rey and maybe a few words which she should now say to her mother in law ..
"Kria .. do you have some good news for us .. tumhe aam ki craving ho rahi hai kya ?" Rey's elder most brother's wife asked her smirking ..
"Nahi .. nahi . .Di .. aisa kuch nahi hai " Kria stammered and looked at herself ..
"Woh main .. woh main .. I just wanted to eat mangoes .. so " she could hardly formulate what she wanted to say ..
"Koi baat nahi Kria .. " the ladies laughed ..
" Tum kal tak intejaar nahi kar sakti thi kya .. sab ke saath kha ke bahut maazza aata .. " teasingly her mother in law asked ..
She bent down her already red face .. Holy S*** .. what had come over her .. why couldn't she wait and eat it tomorrow ..
"Kria chachi aap chori chori aam kyon kha rahi thi .. chori karna buri baat hai " Rey's neice who had trotted along behind her grandmother said ..
Kria just couldn't face them .. she had made a fool of herself .. now she would be teased for god knows how long .. she was always the target as Rey's brother's wives pulled her leg often .. now even her mother in law .. and even the kids ..
Damn … can life be worse than this ..
And not to forget her saint husband who laid the foundation ..
She almost scampered out of the kitchen muttering "Main .. I will go and wash .. " leaving a laughing trio in the kitchen to go and narrate their own versions of what she did, to the whole family and have a good laugh ..
As she ran up the stairs to her room .. she saw Rey leaning at the door .. with his hands folded across his chest and smirking at her ..
"All because of you .. .. all because of you .. " she gritted angrily .. pointing her index finger at him …
He raised his eyebrow showing total oblivion to what she was saying ..
"My favorite fruit .. which comes only for 3-4 months.. now I can't eat that also.. "
"Now I can't eat that ever in my life .. " she glared and punched him hard on his chest with the yellow orange squashed pulp of the mango she was supposed to eat ..
He caught hold of her hands at her wrists strongly … licked some of the pulp from her hands and smiled "You only teased me , ki mujhe aam khane mein kya mazza hai nahi pata .. "
"I hate you .. I can't even see a mango now , without having your thoughts .. "
He laughed .. "Well you deserve it .. "
As he closed the door behind her .. "And you know what Kria .. I don't have to wait for the summer season for my mangoes .. I can eat them anytime and anywhere .. " he pulled her on the bed and landed on top of her ..
