Update 16
After I reached my office I couldn’t really concentrate in any of my work. Sometime nearing lunch hour I called Malathy over phone.
Malathy asked, “Hey lover, thinking about me? If so I will drop everything and come right away”
I replied, “I really wish I could think that way”
Malathy, “So mean of you. Here I am waiting for your beck and call to come and spread my legs. But you are preoccupied thinking about your wife”
I just laughed. Her openness never stopped surprising me.
Malathy continued, “So? What’s up?”
“I am confused and worried” I replied
Malathy, “You mean about what we spoke”
“Yes”
Malathy, “Let us go step by step. First off all let us confirm our views about Preethi’s desire and find out what she thinks about it. Then let us discuss and come to a workable conclusion. Does that sound like an ok plan for you?”
“Yes. But I said I have already spoken to her” I replied
Malathy clarified, “I don’t know the situation in which you spoke to her. She might have still been under the influence of Kumar’s proximity. Let me speak to her”
“And then you will tell me how she responded. Is it” I asked a rhetoric question.
Malathy had a better idea and said, “No. I will make you overhear our conversation. Normally during her lunch hour I speak to her while she takes a walk to a nearby park. I will call you in fifteen minutes. You pick up and immediately put your phone on mute. I will connect Preethi on a conference call” I was surprised at Malathy’s adeptness with recent gadgetry.
After fifteen minutes of nail biting wait my phone rang.
As instructed I answered and immediately muted my phone.
I heard Malathy connecting Preethi.
Preethi: “Hi Malathy. When did you guys leave for work?”
Malathy: “A little while after you both left. You thought we had a romp after you left?”
Preethi: “No. Nothing like that”
Malathy: “Why? Do you think we are not capable of it?”
Preethi: “I know you both are capable, though I still can’t imagine Anand actively doing it”
Malathy: “Then I should arrange a small show to demonstrate Anand’s capabilities with other women”
Preethi: “What do mean other women?” I could sense a tinge of jealousy in her tone.
Malathy: “I meant his capabilities with women other than you, which is only Me” then after a small pause she said, “At least as of now, I think”
Preethi: “I don’t think Anand will look outside ever”
Malathy diverted the topic saying, “So why didn’t you think that we could have had a romp after you left?” I really liked the way Malathy steered the conversation.
Preethi: “Well, I thought he was completely satisfied after last night and today morning”
Malathy, “Only you were not satisfied after last night with Anand. Hence, you needed an extra dose from Kumar also. Wasn’t it?”
Preethi after considerable silence said, “Not like that”
Malathy: “Then why did you wake Kumar in the morning?”
Preethi remained silent.
Malathy continued saying, “But you only left him frustrated”
Preethi whispered back, “I know”
Malathy: “Why did you not allowing him to mount you yesterday, today or on Monday when you came over to our place?”
Preethi: “I am in my fertile period. So you know why”
Malathy asked, “Didn’t you try any other form of contraceptives?”
Preethi remained silent.
Malathy: “In that case you could have avoided coming and flaring him up”
Preethi: “Sorry. I couldn’t help”
Malathy: “Couldn’t help what?”
Preethi: “Coming to Kumar”
Malathy directly asked her, “So, you couldn’t help coming to Kumar during your fertile period?”
Preethi whispered back, “Yes. But I feel so ashamed”
Malathy suggested, “I guess then we should put an end to this open relationship thingy. No point causing embarrassment between you and Anand”
Preethi agreed saying, “I guess so. But …”
Malathy asked, “But what?”
Preethi said, “I feel ashamed to say this. I crave for Kumar”
Malathy wanted her to clarify, “Since when. I thought you don’t love him”
Preethi sternly replied, “Oh please Malathy. I can’t even imagine loving him. Outside of sex the only thing I have for him is some fondness. I can’t even call him a close friend”
Malathy pried, “Sorry. When you said you crave for Kumar I thought you loved him. So you crave for his big cock and his relentless humping, especially when you are in your fertile period. Is that it?”
Preethi: “I don’t know what to say. But I guess you are right”
Malathy further probed in seductive voice, “Like a mare in heat waiting for a stallion to mount”
Preethi whispered, “Yes” and her voice was trembling with excitement. I was sure she would have become wet.
Malathy diverted the topic asking, “But when I asked, Anand said he had a great time last night and you were whole heartedly involved with him”
Preethi in an alarmed tone, “Did you tell Anand about my coming to your room?”
Malathy: “No. I didn’t. Tell me was it because Anand flared you up that you came to Kumar?”
Preethi: “No. It was the other way” then after a pause she continued, “I feel so ashamed. It is so mean of me”
Malathy: “I don’t understand”
Preethi: “After I do something with Kumar somehow I want to go to Anand. As if I need him desperately and I love him more”
Malathy: “Well, actually Anand was telling that your libido has waned considerably”
Preethi: “Not like that. My libido has not waned. I just showed disinterest”
Malathy wanted to corner her asking, “But you crave for Kumar instead”
Preethi: “Yes.”
Malathy: “Yet after doing with Kumar you need Anand desperately”
Preethi: “Yes. But if Anand comes to know of this I will die”
Malathy: “You need Anand for what? More sex?”
Preethi: “Not just sex. In fact I don’t mind not having sex with him that time. I just want to be with him and pleasure him. But invariably he ends up pleasuring me as well”
Malathy: “So, let me put it this way. For you to have more sex with Anand you need to have a constant dose from Kumar. Is that so?”
I could hear Preethi’s sniffing as though she was in tears. After a brief pause she replied, “Yes. But please stop making me feel so guilty and ashamed of myself” and her voice cracked. She got of the line.
Malathy told me, “I will give her five minutes to recompose and call her again”
I too got off the line.
After five minutes Malathy called again. I followed the same routine.
Malathy: “I am Sorry. That was not intentional”
Preethi, her voice much more composed replied, “It is ok”
Malathy, “So what are you going to do about it?”
Preethi, “I don’t know”
Malathy, “You don’t want to have kids anyway. Then why are you craving for Kumar during your fertile period knowing full well it will lead to unwanted consequences”
Preethi, “But I want to”
Malathy, “You want to what? Get impregnated by him?” put the question indirectly without implying the consequence of it.
Preethi whispered in the same excited and trembling voice, “Yes. It is so mean of me”
The Malathy changed tact and directly accused her, “So you don’t want to have Anand’s kid”
Preethi, “It is not like that. I have promised him that I will have his kid when I am nearing thirty. I will definitely fulfill that promise. I love him so much and he deserves it”
Malathy, “But if you get impregnated by Kumar you will end up having his baby before Anand could have his chance” again taking a direct approach
Preethi, “That’s what’s what will happen. I am so worried”
Malathy, “What are you going to do about it? Can you really resist Kumar?”
Now Preethi dropped a bomb shell saying, “It is not just Kumar. But my own feeling”
Malathy, “You mean if not Kumar someone else?”
Preethi replied, “I don’t know anyone else. I don’t want to further mess up things”
Malathy, “Why not with Anand himself? I am sure he wouldn’t mind you having a kid right away”
Preethi, “I don’t feel like it. God, I don’t know what to do” Exasperation was obvious in her voice.
Malathy, “I think I am getting another call. Do you have some more time? If so I will call in the next 10 minutes or so. I want to talk further about this with you.”
Preethi: “Ok. Call me. Actually I am not able to concentrate on any work”
Malathy disconnected Preethi’s call.
Malathy then addressed me, “There, you have it Anand. Her desire spelt out in black and white. If you permit I will ask her what she feels about getting impregnated with your approval. What do you say?”
I must admit by then my worries were not bothering me. It was my turn to feel ashamed as I was having a raging hard on.
I replied with a strained voice, “Please go ahead”
Malathy immediately sensed and asked me, “Why is your voice shaky? Are you excited?”
I remained silent. Malathy understood and didn’t probe me further. She asked me to mute my handset and called Preethi.
Malathy took a very direct approach, “Tell me Preethi. If Anand permits it would you mind mating Kumar in your fertile period?”
Preethi, “There is no way Anand would permit it. He will think I have fully become Kumar’s mistress and break our marriage”
Malathy, “I meant if he doesn’t mind the consequences”
Preethi, “What do you mean by not minding the consequences?”
Malathy, “I meant if Anand takes ownership of consequences”
Preethi, “Why would he do that?”
Malathy, “Because he is fond of kids”
Preethi’s voice showed excitement, “Would he?”
Malathy, “There is no harm asking him”
Preethi became repetitive saying, “I rather die”
Malathy, “Do you want me to ask him?”
Preethi, “Oh please Malathy. I can never face him after that”
Malathy, “So what is the solution?”
Preethi, “I really don’t know. I think I will just avoid Kumar”
Malathy, “And in the process starve your husband?”
Preethi, “If he insists I will allow. But in a second he can make out my disinterest and stop. I can’t help it”
Malathy, “But tell me. Can you resist Kumar forever?”
Preethi didn’t have an answer.
Malathy, “Ok. Let me think it over and see how I can help you”
Preethi, “Thanks”
Malathy disconnected Preethi.
Malathy said, “Preethi will never be forthcoming in accepting her desire”
I said, “I can figure that”
Malathy, “Did you realize that her desire also means being Kumar’s mistress fully?”
I remained silent.
Malathy continued, “Please Anand. I do not want you to blame me. I know your discomfort about the mistress bit. I am just trying to find a way you can convey your acceptance without her asking”
I said, “Please go on”
Malathy said, “If you just convey your acceptance for her being his mistress and subtly tell her not to worry about consequences. She will understand how to take it forward”
I asked, “Why mistress? Why not open relationship?”
Malathy, “Open relationships are not practiced with such consequences. At least not when the participating couple are living apart. Preethi knows it very well. She will buy it only if you utter the word mistress. She is still shitting bricks about your earlier reaction to her when she proposed being his mistress. You also heard her just now”
I retorted, “So, out of the blue I tell Preethi that I am ok of her being his mistress. is it?” in an irritated tone.
Malathy laughed and said, “She will think you are cracking a joke”
I too joined her laughter and asked, “Then how?”
Malathy said, “Let us plan some activity together that will mean her being close to Kumar. Preethi in her current mind set will refuse to participate. In convincing her you can convey your acceptance by saying after all she has been his mistress. She will still refuse suffering to explain. You can nudge her and tell her not to worry about unintended consequences”
I asked, “What will happen then?”
Malathy said, “Preethi will feel confident that you wouldn’t mind if she gets impregnated while mating Kumar. But most importantly, it will make her open up more with you. After all she loves you so much.”
I couldn’t help but thinking to myself, ‘a wife who loves her husband so much will not think of getting impregnated by some stud’
I said, “mmm”
Malathy reiterated, “So, you basically let Preethi become Kumar’s mistress fully and let events unfold in their natural course”
I asked, “Is Kumar aware of this?”
Malathy, “Do you still think I am scheming for Kumar? No Anand. He doesn’t know. Neither should Preethi know about our conversation”
Malathy continued, “You are quite adept at conveying your acceptance to Preethi and that's the only encouragement she would need. The understanding is that you will never interfere with Preethi's mistress duties and willingly accept the consequences thereof."
I asked "It would be a semi-open relationship."
Malathy clarified, "Yes. In the sense, that Preethi and Kumar wouldn't try to hide their relationship but wouldn't make it a central theme either. Preethi will definitely not. Nobody but the four of us will know. Though he doesn’t say it openly I know Kumar has a lot of respect for you. He has openly confided with me that he hopes that you don’t carry any grudge against him. So he will never step on your toe”
I was silent.
"Is this acceptable to you?" she asked
"I need time to think,” was my reply.
Malathy proved that she will never cease to surprise me, yet again.
Malathy said, “Anand I am sure you know that this as the most viable solution. Yet your ego is not allowing it. To heel your ego bruise I have a proposal that just came to my mind”
I asked, “What?”
Malathy, “I see you frequently travel to LA”
I asked still intrigued, “Yes. So?”
Malathy, “How about me hooking you up with someone there?”
It stuck me that my college mate Vijay, a common acquaintance, has recently moved to LA from Fresno. His wife is Devi, who was also from my neighborhood in Bangalore. She was probably a couple of years older than Preethi.
I asked her, “What do you mean?”
Malathy, “It is a long story. Kumar was interested in Devi before he set his eyes on Preethi. I was trying to see if an open relationship was possible with them. Frankly, had it materialized we wouldn’t be having this conversation as my primary intention was that other than me Kumar sticks to just one woman. Vijay was actually Ok with it. I would say his fantasy levels are far higher than yours. Devi rejected it outright. When I probed her I came to know that she had the crush for you and still does. When we met couple of weeks back I came to know that they want to have a baby and it is not happening thanks to Vijay’s low sperm-count. We were discussing various options. Vijay is ok with any option that Devi chooses. Devi felt the surrogate father route with an unknown person is so phony, once again rejecting Kumar indirectly”
As she completed I had a raging hard on. I didn’t say anything.
Malathy, “I understand your hesitation. But think about it. Frankly, you will feel nice about it. I am sure you will enjoy mating Devi considering the fact she has breasts like mine and body like Preethi. Just cover the face.”
She was blunt but dead right. Devi was a voluptuous woman and quite attractive but not as beautiful as Preethi.
Taking my stunned silence as my approval (as she always does!) she continued, “Like I always allow you to enjoy the privileges from me before Preethi gives them to Kumar, I thought of giving you the opportunity to impregnate someone before Kumar impregnates your wife. But I don’t know if I can arrange it that soon. You may have to wait till Kumar puts his seeds in Preethi” Hinting that she had planned the mating of Kumar and Preethi.
I said, “Ok tell me what activity you want to plan”
Malathy, “I will tell you. But please do not accuse me saying that I have been planning this all along as I was not. It came to my mind last night”
I laughed and said, “Either way you are one hell of a scheming witch. Shoot. I won’t accuse you”
Malathy said, “You mentioned that you are planning to go India to attend your cousin’s wedding. You were also mentioning of going on a tour after the wedding during the week of Preethi’s birthday. If you are ok with it we will also plan a vacation around that time and join you for the tour. It will give ample opportunity for Preethi and Kumar. Kumar will definitely capitalize on the situation”
I had planned a trip to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Though Preethi had visited Delhi earlier, she had not visited the other two places. We planned to spend her birthday at Agra staying at ITC Moghul which had a pavilion facing the Taj Mahal where parties are also held. I wanted to meet some people in Delhi and proposed couple of days’ stay in addition there. But Preethi was insistent about a desert safari from Jaipur. We had not finalized. As either could be planned at the last moment I had left that part undecided.
I shared these details with Malathy.
Malathy was ecstatic and said, “Excellent. We will go to Delhi ahead of them and let Preethi and Kumar spend two days for desert safari and join us later. That will give them enough time to mate. Going by the date she must be in her fertile period then and Kumar will definitely put his seed in her womb”
For the moment I stopped thinking anything else but the excitement of Preethi mating with Kumar.
I knew just as Malathy said, once I hold that baby in my hand I will forget everything. I could even make it more emotionally fulfilling by spending quality time with Preethi during her pregnancy and being with her during her childbirth.
I agreed to her idea.
After I reached my office I couldn’t really concentrate in any of my work. Sometime nearing lunch hour I called Malathy over phone.
Malathy asked, “Hey lover, thinking about me? If so I will drop everything and come right away”
I replied, “I really wish I could think that way”
Malathy, “So mean of you. Here I am waiting for your beck and call to come and spread my legs. But you are preoccupied thinking about your wife”
I just laughed. Her openness never stopped surprising me.
Malathy continued, “So? What’s up?”
“I am confused and worried” I replied
Malathy, “You mean about what we spoke”
“Yes”
Malathy, “Let us go step by step. First off all let us confirm our views about Preethi’s desire and find out what she thinks about it. Then let us discuss and come to a workable conclusion. Does that sound like an ok plan for you?”
“Yes. But I said I have already spoken to her” I replied
Malathy clarified, “I don’t know the situation in which you spoke to her. She might have still been under the influence of Kumar’s proximity. Let me speak to her”
“And then you will tell me how she responded. Is it” I asked a rhetoric question.
Malathy had a better idea and said, “No. I will make you overhear our conversation. Normally during her lunch hour I speak to her while she takes a walk to a nearby park. I will call you in fifteen minutes. You pick up and immediately put your phone on mute. I will connect Preethi on a conference call” I was surprised at Malathy’s adeptness with recent gadgetry.
After fifteen minutes of nail biting wait my phone rang.
As instructed I answered and immediately muted my phone.
I heard Malathy connecting Preethi.
Preethi: “Hi Malathy. When did you guys leave for work?”
Malathy: “A little while after you both left. You thought we had a romp after you left?”
Preethi: “No. Nothing like that”

Malathy diverted the topic saying, “So why didn’t you think that we could have had a romp after you left?” I really liked the way Malathy steered the conversation.
Preethi: “Well, I thought he was completely satisfied after last night and today morning”
Malathy, “Only you were not satisfied after last night with Anand. Hence, you needed an extra dose from Kumar also. Wasn’t it?”
Preethi after considerable silence said, “Not like that”
Malathy: “Then why did you wake Kumar in the morning?”
Preethi remained silent.
Malathy continued saying, “But you only left him frustrated”
Preethi whispered back, “I know”
Malathy: “Why did you not allowing him to mount you yesterday, today or on Monday when you came over to our place?”
Preethi: “I am in my fertile period. So you know why”
Malathy asked, “Didn’t you try any other form of contraceptives?”
Preethi remained silent.
Malathy: “In that case you could have avoided coming and flaring him up”
Preethi: “Sorry. I couldn’t help”
Malathy: “Couldn’t help what?”
Preethi: “Coming to Kumar”
Malathy directly asked her, “So, you couldn’t help coming to Kumar during your fertile period?”
Preethi whispered back, “Yes. But I feel so ashamed”

Preethi: “I don’t know what to say. But I guess you are right”
Malathy further probed in seductive voice, “Like a mare in heat waiting for a stallion to mount”
Preethi whispered, “Yes” and her voice was trembling with excitement. I was sure she would have become wet.
Malathy diverted the topic asking, “But when I asked, Anand said he had a great time last night and you were whole heartedly involved with him”

The Malathy changed tact and directly accused her, “So you don’t want to have Anand’s kid”
Preethi, “It is not like that. I have promised him that I will have his kid when I am nearing thirty. I will definitely fulfill that promise. I love him so much and he deserves it”

I replied with a strained voice, “Please go ahead”
Malathy immediately sensed and asked me, “Why is your voice shaky? Are you excited?”
I remained silent. Malathy understood and didn’t probe me further. She asked me to mute my handset and called Preethi.

Malathy, “So what is the solution?”
Preethi, “I really don’t know. I think I will just avoid Kumar”
Malathy, “And in the process starve your husband?”
Preethi, “If he insists I will allow. But in a second he can make out my disinterest and stop. I can’t help it”
Malathy, “But tell me. Can you resist Kumar forever?”
Preethi didn’t have an answer.
Malathy, “Ok. Let me think it over and see how I can help you”
Preethi, “Thanks”
Malathy disconnected Preethi.
Malathy said, “Preethi will never be forthcoming in accepting her desire”

She will buy it only if you utter the word mistress. She is still shitting bricks about your earlier reaction to her when she proposed being his mistress. You also heard her just now”
I retorted, “So, out of the blue I tell Preethi that I am ok of her being his mistress. is it?” in an irritated tone.
Malathy laughed and said, “She will think you are cracking a joke”
I too joined her laughter and asked, “Then how?”
Malathy said, “Let us plan some activity together that will mean her being close to Kumar. Preethi in her current mind set will refuse to participate. In convincing her you can convey your acceptance by saying after all she has been his mistress. She will still refuse suffering to explain. You can nudge her and tell her not to worry about unintended consequences”
I asked, “What will happen then?”
Malathy said, “Preethi will feel confident that you wouldn’t mind if she gets impregnated while mating Kumar. But most importantly, it will make her open up more with you. After all she loves you so much.”
I couldn’t help but thinking to myself, ‘a wife who loves her husband so much will not think of getting impregnated by some stud’
I said, “mmm”
Malathy reiterated, “So, you basically let Preethi become Kumar’s mistress fully and let events unfold in their natural course”
I asked, “Is Kumar aware of this?”
Malathy, “Do you still think I am scheming for Kumar? No Anand. He doesn’t know. Neither should Preethi know about our conversation”
Malathy continued, “You are quite adept at conveying your acceptance to Preethi and that's the only encouragement she would need. The understanding is that you will never interfere with Preethi's mistress duties and willingly accept the consequences thereof."

I asked, “What?”
Malathy, “I see you frequently travel to LA”
I asked still intrigued, “Yes. So?”
Malathy, “How about me hooking you up with someone there?”
It stuck me that my college mate Vijay, a common acquaintance, has recently moved to LA from Fresno. His wife is Devi, who was also from my neighborhood in Bangalore. She was probably a couple of years older than Preethi.
I asked her, “What do you mean?”
Malathy, “It is a long story. Kumar was interested in Devi before he set his eyes on Preethi. I was trying to see if an open relationship was possible with them.

When we met couple of weeks back I came to know that they want to have a baby and it is not happening thanks to Vijay’s low sperm-count. We were discussing various options. Vijay is ok with any option that Devi chooses. Devi felt the surrogate father route with an unknown person is so phony, once again rejecting Kumar indirectly”
As she completed I had a raging hard on. I didn’t say anything.
Malathy, “I understand your hesitation. But think about it. Frankly, you will feel nice about it. I am sure you will enjoy mating Devi considering the fact she has breasts like mine and body like Preethi. Just cover the face.”
She was blunt but dead right. Devi was a voluptuous woman and quite attractive but not as beautiful as Preethi.
Taking my stunned silence as my approval (as she always does!) she continued, “Like I always allow you to enjoy the privileges from me before Preethi gives them to Kumar, I thought of giving you the opportunity to impregnate someone before Kumar impregnates your wife. But I don’t know if I can arrange it that soon. You may have to wait till Kumar puts his seeds in Preethi” Hinting that she had planned the mating of Kumar and Preethi.
I said, “Ok tell me what activity you want to plan”
Malathy, “I will tell you. But please do not accuse me saying that I have been planning this all along as I was not. It came to my mind last night”
I laughed and said, “Either way you are one hell of a scheming witch. Shoot. I won’t accuse you”
Malathy said, “You mentioned that you are planning to go India to attend your cousin’s wedding. You were also mentioning of going on a tour after the wedding during the week of Preethi’s birthday. If you are ok with it we will also plan a vacation around that time and join you for the tour. It will give ample opportunity for Preethi and Kumar. Kumar will definitely capitalize on the situation”
I had planned a trip to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Though Preethi had visited Delhi earlier, she had not visited the other two places. We planned to spend her birthday at Agra staying at ITC Moghul which had a pavilion facing the Taj Mahal where parties are also held. I wanted to meet some people in Delhi and proposed couple of days’ stay in addition there. But Preethi was insistent about a desert safari from Jaipur. We had not finalized. As either could be planned at the last moment I had left that part undecided.
I shared these details with Malathy.
Malathy was ecstatic and said, “Excellent. We will go to Delhi ahead of them and let Preethi and Kumar spend two days for desert safari and join us later. That will give them enough time to mate. Going by the date she must be in her fertile period then and Kumar will definitely put his seed in her womb”
For the moment I stopped thinking anything else but the excitement of Preethi mating with Kumar.
I knew just as Malathy said, once I hold that baby in my hand I will forget everything. I could even make it more emotionally fulfilling by spending quality time with Preethi during her pregnancy and being with her during her childbirth.
I agreed to her idea.
