The next morning, I caught myself smiling as I brushed my teeth. I didn't know why. I looked in the mirror and blushed as I remembered the feeling of him against me last night. The way it had turned me on was so unexpected, but so thrilling. I had just closed my eyes and had gone to sleep, without responding to him.

When I woke up this morning, Randhir had been asleep as usual. After I showered, I got dressed and then went downstairs to make tea. Soon, Randhir joined me downstairs as I was boiling the water.

"Do you even shower?" I asked him, scrunching my nose.

"I'll do it later," Randhir said with a smile. "First I need to teach my dear wife how to make some good tea."

I turned around to glare at him, but for the first time, I felt my heart soar when he called me his wife.

Something was surely wrong with me.

"You think I don't know how to make good tea?" I asked him.

"I've had your tea," he said to me, and he came up to the stove and started to get the spices. "Now move and watch me."

He put in cardamom, ginger, and then he put in fennel seeds.

"You put in fennel seeds?" I asked him with a frown. "What in the world?"

"That's the secret ingredient," Randhir said.

"Where did you learn this?" I asked. "Did one of your girlfriends teach you?"

"Ah, now that's the big question isn't it?" Randhir asked me.

Then he poured the milk into the pot.

"You made the tea," Randhir said with a wink. "And now you know how to make it."

He was incorrigible. He was so weird. He made tea with fennel seeds! But later on, as I sipped the tea, I couldn't stop sipping it. It tasted so good. It was heavenly.

Damn, I couldn't even hate him for being weird.

That night, I bit on my lip, as I thought of how to get closer to him in a casual way. I didn't want to admit that I wanted to get close to him, but I just wanted to. I craved to feel him against me again just like last night for some reason.

As soon as he lay down next to me on the bed, I started.

"Randhir, my back hurts," I told him with a pout. "Can you see what happened?"

"Did you fall somewhere?" he asked.

"No," I said. "I don't know what happened."

Then I turned around on the bed, lying down on my stomach.

His hand touched my shoulder softly.

"Where?" he asked.

I nearly shivered as his hand made contact with my body.

"Go down," I mumbled. "I'll stop you."

His hand moved down my spine and my eyes closed as I felt myself get turned on again, just like last night. Damn, this was so addicting. I never felt this way before. It was weird how his simple touch could make me feel this way.

I really wanted to feel his lips on me, but I couldn't tell him that.

"Where?" Randhir asked.

"Umm, there," I said, snapping back to reality again.

He paused just above my tailbone.

"Your back is hurting?" Randhir asked me with a raised eyebrow, "This is practically your butt."

"You're so perverted," I said out loud. "Gosh!"

He shook his head.

"Do you want me to bring some ointment?" he asked.

"Ummm..." I said out loud. "I won't be able to reach it."

"I'll apply it," Randhir said.

"Okay," I said brightly.

He looked at me suspiciously.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked me. "You sound so excited... you aren't horny, are you?"

My mouth dropped open and I sat up.

"Pervert!" I said out loud and hit him hard. "How could you even use such a word?"

"Oh, so you know what such words mean?" he asked me, sounding shocked.

"I uh..." I mumbled. "I think you're just looking for excuses to come close to me."

Then he leaned towards me and I leaned back on the bed.

His lips were practically an inch away from mine as he said, "I don't need an excuse to come close to you... I just have to do this."

I was gone. I wouldn't be able to control myself anymore. My shaking hands started to slide up his shoulder as my heart began to beat erratically.
