Adultery That Resort Trip

[madiha.agarwal]

As they held each a sudden noise broke their trance; it was the jeep honking wildly. They both turned around and saw two resort workers approaching from the far end of the bridge holding two towels each in their hands and gesturing frantically towards them. 


The driver shouted something from inside the jeep and it began moving towards them. 

They released each other with an audible sigh. Kavya grabbed the towel from the resort worker and wrapped it around her body. She took another one and wrapped it around her head covering her face with the neck opening. Mani also covered himself with a towel. They both put on their shoes and climbed in the jeep with the two-resort staff following closely behind. 

The journey back to the hotel was awkward. Kavya sat next to mani in the back seat. The front seat was empty and there was no window there, so he placed his leg on the middle seat making sure it did not touch Kavya. They were quiet for some time. 

The jeep stopped near the reception. The two resort workers got down and signalled to get out of the jeep. Mani got down first and collected the key cards. He gave hers and they wordlessly went to their rooms which were adjacent to each other. 

As she entered her room, she locked the door and immediately removed her T-shirt and looked at herself in the mirror. There was still dirt and sweat all over her body, but she noticed that her midriff was flat as she was told. There were stretch marks from pregnancy visible on her hips and tummy. But they were really difficult to notice because the fair skin tone was concealing them. She was proud of her own reflection. 


She touched 72 kgs in the last months of pregnancy because of Indian superstition of eating for two. She had really worked herself to a respectable 58 kgs after birth of Nirav, by breastfeeding and exercising and had kept it off. She turned around again looking at her slim figure. 


She removed all her clothes and stepped into a warm shower. Her thoughts drifted back to Mani's words "your body is really amazing, especially your belly." She remembered what happened at the vantage point. Was Mani's actions right or wrong? Yes, he did save her and was with her instead of relying on strangers from the resort in a dark forest like this. But at the same time, he kept staring at her breasts. 

But then she looked down at her boobs and thought, why wouldn't he? After all, they had grown from 32B to 34C post pregnancy and lactation, he was human too. Seeing her completely drenched and clingy must have made him horny. He wasn't being indecent by looking, he was just being honest, and his statement wasn't any less than flattering.  

Also, Mani had the reputation of flirting with almost every woman in her company. They all found it amusing rather than offensive because of his ability to make people laugh. He also used to change girlfriends every now and then. In fact, he would flirt with Priya in front of Matthew, and they would just laugh with him. It had become a habit of his that he couldn't stop flirting with every woman he met, and Kavya never really took offence. 

Finally, she emerged from the bathroom. Wearing only her panties and bra, she ran her fingers through her wet hair and looked out of the window. It was evening, the sky was already turning pinkish red with darkness setting in quickly. The water from the pool trickled down her body and it made her shiver and goosebumps appear on her skin. She got dressed. 


It wasn't long before Priya and the others arrived. They were very tired as the entire trip was three hours long with no break in paddling and after the first two rapid descents, it just felt like moving in a slow roller coaster for hours. Priya said she was just lucky and went to freshen up. Kavya wanted to talk about what happened with Mani but decided against it.
