Chapter 41
When Rishab came back a while later. Madhu was just getting into her sleeping bag. He breathe a sigh of relief when he found that she was again in all her layers. As he was getting into his sleeping bag, he glanced at her, noticing that she was having trouble getting comfortable. "Your back bothering you?"
"Yeah, it hurts," she whined a little. Rishab shifted up onto his elbow and looked at her. "Is it bothering you that much?" he asked, as he watched her move around again.
When she continued to move around trying to get comfortable, he sighed thinking, this is just not my day. "Move onto your stomach. I'm gonna give you a backrub." Madhu bit her lip. "Are you sure? I mean I don't want to put you out."
"Just turn around already." Rishab hissed seeing Madhu biting down on her lip. God does this woman know what she does to him. Was she deliberately trying to kill him.
"Think it'll be okay if I leave some clothes on? It'll be too cold otherwise," she said as she got comfortable on her stomach.
"Yeah, that'll work."
"Okay," Madhu reached out to pull the upper end of his sleeping bag under her head to use it as a pillow. She took a deep breath and regretted it immediately when she could smell Rishab's scent on his sleeping bag. Her mind went a few hours back, when he had held her in his strong arms and it had felt so right. And now to have those same hands on her skin yet again. I'm so screwed, she thought.
Rishab pulled his pack closer, unzipping one of the pockets and pulling out the handy hand-warmers before he shifted to straddle her hips. "What's worse? Upper or lower back?" "Lower," she mumbled.
He lifted one of the packets he had taken from his pack and ripped it open with his teeth, shaking the contents out and reaching under her shirt to place the small warming pad against her back. He repeated the process again, hoping the heat combined with the massage would help ease her pain. "Better?" he asked as he tugged her shirt back down over the warming pads and let his hands settle on her sides.
"Awesome," she said trying not to sound strained.
He closed his eyes for a moment when she shifted under him and he forced his hands to settle into a repetitive rhythm as he did his best to work the tension out of her muscles.
"That feels good, Rishab," she admitted, this time knowing that she sounded strained.
Rishab was too engrossed in controlling his wayward emotions to notice her reaction to his touch. He mumbled a response and worked his way down, pausing for a moment when temptation nearly got the best of him before he shook his head and forced his hands back up. Damn, he'd give anything for her to forget the whole lets be friends thing right now. Make a move! His body was shouting at him and he quickly silenced it.
