Kalyani leaned back against the sofa, watching Rohit approach with a distinctly sceptical expression. She still wasn't convinced that allowing him to massage her was a good idea.
"Fine. Five minutes. Don't make it awkward."
Rohit gave her a small nod, hiding his amusement.
"Wouldn't dream of it."
He moved behind the sofa and placed his hands on her shoulders. His fingers settled against the tense muscles near her neck before he began applying gentle pressure.
Kalyani waited a few seconds before her eyebrows drew together.
"Too light."
Rohit increased the pressure without arguing.
"Not there. A little closer to the neck," she instructed, tilting her head slightly to indicate the spot.
He adjusted his hands, following her directions. His thumbs worked along the muscles on either side of her neck while his fingers applied steady pressure to her shoulders.
"Better?" he asked, glancing at her from behind the sofa.
