Adultery Priya Didi

But her body was still tied to a chain of unspoken rules, rules she was desperately trying to ignore.
 
And then, as if the universe itself were testing them, Amit shifted beside her.

His leg brushed against hers, his arm barely nudging her side, pulling her back into the reality of the world around them.
 
Priya Didi’s eyes widened for a split second.
Her breath hitched.
Her heart skipped.
 
Amit’s head tilted slightly toward the screen, his gaze fixed on the movie.
He laughed at something on-screen, his voice low, but it was enough to remind her who was sitting beside her.

Her husband.
Right there.
Right on her right side.

Unaware.
Trusting.
Oblivious.
 
“Amit…” she thought, her body tensing.
“Amit is here… this is wrong… why does this feel so wrong, but so right?”
 
For a brief moment, she wanted to pull her hand away.
She wanted to push Ravi’s touch away.
 
But her body… her body didn’t listen.
 
The pressure between them, the almost invisible barrier, had never felt so tight, so frail.
 
And Ravi… Ravi didn’t pull away.

His fingers, already so close, hovered over hers for just a beat longer than necessary.
His breath, shallow and quiet, brushed against her cheek.
 
Her skin warmed, her pulse quickened.
Her heart pounded in a steady rhythm, but every beat felt heavier.
 
Her body was betraying her, even as her mind screamed at her to stop.
 
Amit was still there, his presence like an anchor, but his body was relaxed, his attention focused on the screen. He had no idea of the storm brewing just inches from him.
 
“He’s right there, Priya. He’s trusting you. He has no idea.”
 
But her body, her thoughts, everything about her was pulled in the other direction, toward Ravi. The tension was unbearable now.
 
Ravi felt it, too. He could feel the way the air around them shifted, how her breath became uneven. He could hear the slight shake in her inhale when she tried to hold herself back.
 
The movie flickered again, and the light cast a soft glow across Priya Didi’s face, highlighting the delicate curve of her jaw, the curve of her neck, the way her breath caught at the edge of her lips.
 
Her beauty, always so understated, now seemed almost like a secret she was trying to hide, but it was impossible to ignore.
 
Her eyes, dark and deep, glimmered with something more than the reflection of the screen. Something soft, something conflicted, something that made Ravi’s chest ache with a longing that was impossible to ignore.
