Aftermath


The room was quiet.

The air around them, dense and heady,

Carried the scent of warmth, sweat,

And something far more primal

Longing fulfilled but not extinguished.

Meghana still sat in Abhi’s lap

Her cheek resting against his shoulder now.

Their bodies slowly sinking out of the yoga pose

But not apart.

She was no longer holding herself upright.

She had melted into him

Her arms loose around his neck

Her legs unhooked and resting softly on either side of his hips.

Her breath was slow and deep,

Brushing across his collarbone.


Neither had spoken since that kiss.
