Adultery Priya Didi

But then


A sudden sharp flicker of awareness pierced through her calm.

Her eyes snapped open, and a flicker of annoyance twisted through her chest.

The shelf beside the shower, where her shampoo and soap should have waited patiently,

Stood bare. Empty. Forgotten.

A soft curse slipped from her lips,

Low and frustrated.

How could she have forgotten the basics?

She usually showered in her own bathroom,

Where everything was within reach,

Every bottle and bar exactly where she needed it.

Her heart picked up pace, not from the chill of the realization,

but from something more subtle, more electric.

The knowledge that just beyond the thin barrier of this door,

Mere feet away, Ravi was there. So close, yet unreachable.

Her pulse fluttered unevenly as she imagined him sitting just outside,

His broad shoulders bent over his work, fingers tapping thoughtfully on the keyboard,

Utterly unaware of the moment unfolding behind the bathroom door.

Her skin prickled with a strange heat that wasn’t from the shower.

She bit down on her lower lip, pressing her wet palm to the cold tile,

Grounding herself, even as a daring thought flickered behind her eyes.
