Adultery Priya Didi

[shailu4ever]

The minutes stretched into something thick and slow.


The sound of her, soft but so close, made his pulse race.

Every shift of the water, every faint sound of her footsteps,

His mind filled in the details, her body moving, the steam rising.

He could almost feel the warmth of the bathroom creeping into the living room,

Wrapping itself around him.

He couldn’t help but wonder, how much of it was real,

And how much of it was his mind painting pictures he wasn’t ready to see?

The feeling,

That gnawing ache in his chest,

Wasn’t just from the proximity,

It was the sense that he was standing on a line he didn’t know how to cross.

The barrier between them, the one door,

Felt thinner and thinner with each passing moment.

And still, he stayed rooted to the couch, unable to move,

Unable to quiet the storm of thoughts swirling inside him.

He tried to focus again,

His fingers brushing over the keyboard,

But his mind kept returning to her.

To the sound of the water, the soft shift of her steps,

The way the silence in the room felt heavier

More intimate, with every passing second.
