CHAPTER – 85
The after-dinner quiet in the Delhi house felt different from the quiet in Hyderabad. In Delhi, it was peaceful, a gentle lull after the day's warmth and the evening's chatter. In his room, Danish sank onto the edge of the bed, the crisp sheets cool beneath his hands. The small lamp on the side table cast a warm, honeyed glow, making the space feel like a sanctuary. He pulled out his phone, his thumb hovering over Kavya's contact before he pressed the call button.
She answered on the second ring, her voice a familiar anchor in the unfamiliar space. "Hey."
"Hey," Danish replied, a genuine smile spreading across his face. "Just finished dinner. Your parents gave me such a nice welcome. Mummy ji cooked all my favorites — that rich, creamy paneer butter masala, the dal makhani that simmered all day, fresh, hot parathas... she even made kheer with extra saffron, just how I like it. She was so happy, Kavya. Kept piling my plate, telling me I'm too thin. Papa ji was beaming, asking all about the new job. I already feel at home here."
In Hyderabad, Kavya was curled on the living room sofa, her legs tucked beneath her. The house felt cavernous, the silence pressing in on her. A cup of tea sat on the table, its surface filmed over, untouched and cold. Feroz had retreated to his room early, murmuring something about being tired, but the air still thrummed with his presence. She forced a lightness into her voice she didn't feel. "That's good. I knew Mummy would take good care of you. She's been planning this menu since I told her you were coming."
"Yeah," Danish said, his voice warm with contentment. "The room is perfect, too. Fresh towels, even a little vase with flowers. I told them I'll head to the office tomorrow morning, and Mummy ji insisted she'd wake up early to make a proper breakfast for me."
Kavya nodded, a silent, solitary gesture in the empty room. "That's nice... I'm glad."
A small pause stretched between them, filled by the crackle of the phone line and the unspoken distance of five hundred miles.
"I miss you already," Danish said, his voice softening, turning intimate. "The house feels empty without you here."
Kavya's throat tightened, a knot of emotion forming there. "I miss you too." And she did. She missed the comfort of his presence, the easy familiarity of their life together. But the moment the words left her lips, her mind betrayed her with vicious clarity.
The house in Hyderabad was not empty. It was just her and Feroz.
Alone.
The thought sent a strange, unwelcome flutter through her chest — a toxic cocktail of guilt, nervousness, and something darker, something she didn't dare name.
memories crashed over her like a wave, unbidden and vivid: Feroz's arms, strong and possessive, wrapping around her.
His hands, not on her waist, but lower, splayed possessively over the soft curve of her buttocks, pulling her back against the hard proof of his desire. His face buried in the crook of her neck, his warm, slightly minty breath fanning her skin, sending shivers down her spine. The way he had held her, not like a daughter-in-law, but like a woman he owned, a woman he craved.
A fresh wave of guilt crashed over her, heavy and suffocating. Danish was in Delhi, trusting her completely, building their future. And here she was, sitting in their shared home, her body still humming with the memory of his father's touch. Her cheeks burned with shame. She shifted on the sofa, suddenly hyper-aware of every inch of her own body — the faint, delicious soreness between her thighs, the phantom weight of Feroz pressing her into the mattress, the memory of his lips trailing slow, open-mouthed kisses along the sensitive skin of her neck and the swell of her cleavage, his tongue tasting her with a slow, passionate hunger that had made her forget everything.
"Kavya?" Danish's voice was a lifeline, pulling her back from the treacherous waters of her own mind. "You still there?"
"Yes," she said quickly, her voice a little too high. She cleared her throat. "Sorry, I was just... thinking. I'm happy for you. Really. Just make sure you eat properly and don't overwork yourself in the beginning."
"I won't," he promised. "I'll call you every night. And I'll try to come back as soon as I can."
They spoke for a few more minutes — small, loving things about his day, her plans for tomorrow — before saying goodnight. When the call ended, Kavya sat perfectly still on the sofa, the phone feeling cold and heavy in her lap. She stared at the dark screen, her reflection a pale, distorted ghost.
The house felt too big, too empty, and yet too full.
She was alone with Feroz now.
The thought struck her again, sharper this time, like a shard of glass. Just the two of them in this large house. No Danish to act as a buffer. No one else to break the tension that now lived between her and her father-in-law, a thick, palpable thing.
Guilt twisted violently in her stomach. She remembered the way Feroz had held her last night — his hands kneading the soft flesh of her rear, pulling her hips flush against his, his mouth moving with a devastating expertise over her neck and the swells of her breasts. The way she had moaned, a sound she barely recognized as her own, and arched into him instead of pushing him away. The way her body had betrayed her, her husband, her entire life, responding to his touch with a hunger that both terrified and thrilled her.
She was ashamed — deeply, painfully ashamed.
How could she live in this house with Feroz, breathe the same air, knowing the line they had crossed had not just been stepped over, but obliterated?
Yet beneath the crushing weight of the guilt, a strange, forbidden feeling stirred. The memory of being held so intimately, so completely, sent a small, guilty shiver through her. The safety she had felt in his arms, the sheer intensity of it, the way he had looked at her — like she was the most precious, desired woman in the world. It was a dangerous, intoxicating drug.
She hugged her knees to her chest, pressing her forehead against them, rocking slightly. "What am I doing?" she whispered to the empty room.
Down the hall, in the master bedroom, Feroz sat on the edge of his bed, the mattress dipping under his weight. He had heard the faint, muffled sound of Danish's voice earlier when Kavya was on the phone. His son was safely in Delhi, nestled in the care of his in-laws, completely unaware.
And now the house belonged only to him and Kavya.
Alone.
The guilt was a physical presence, a stone in his gut. He had betrayed his own son in the most unforgivable way. But as he sat there in the dim light filtering through the window, the memory of holding Kavya was not one of remorse, but of aching, vivid detail. It refused to be pushed away.
He closed his eyes, and she was there. He could feel the soft weight of her body against his, the way she had fit into his arms as if she were made for them. He remembered the scent of her hair, and her own unique fragrance, and how he had buried his face in it, inhaling deeply. His hands, they had a life of their own, remembering the feel of her — the narrow curve of her waist, the flare of her hips, and then lower, to the full, firm swell of her buttocks. He had kneaded them, possessively, pulling her against his hardness, letting her feel what she did to him. A fresh wave of heat washed over him now, just thinking about it.
He remembered the sound she made — a soft, breathy gasp that was half protest, half surrender. He remembered the way her body had arched, not away, but into him, her spine curving, pressing her breasts more firmly against his chest. He had trailed his lips down the elegant column of her neck, tasting the salt of her skin, feeling her frantic pulse against his tongue. He had moved lower, to the delicate swell of her cleavage, his mouth open and hungry, kissing the soft skin there, imagining what it would be like to free her breasts from the confines of her blouse and take her nipple into his mouth.
The memory was so potent, so real, he could almost feel the heat of her skin, the weight of her in his arms. He felt a stirring in his loins, a familiar, insistent throb that was both a source of shame and a testament to the raw power of his desire for her. This was his son's wife. The mother of his grandchild. Yet in that moment, and in this memory, she was just Kavya. The woman he wanted. The woman he had, in some small way, already claimed.
He lay back on the bed, the cool sheets doing little to quell the fire in his blood. His mind replayed their encounter, He remembered how he had held Kavya in the darkness of his room, the only light the sliver of moon filtering through the blinds. He remembered the way fear had initially brought her into his arms, a fragile, trembling bird seeking shelter from a storm of her own making. But then, he remembered how desire had slowly, inexorably, taken over. It was a subtle shift, a change in the pressure of her hands on his back, the way her breathing hitched and then deepened against his chest.
He remembered the moment he had rolled on top of her, the movement fluid and certain. The missionary position1. His body covering hers completely, a blanket of muscle and bone and raw need. His legs had forced their way between hers, spreading them, his knees pressing into the mattress on either side of her hips. His chest had crushed against her breasts, feeling the frantic hammer of her heart through her ribs. By then, she was in only her black bra and panties, the delicate lace clinging to her curves like a second skin. He could feel the warmth of her body radiating through the thin fabric, her skin flushed and damp beneath him.
He had moved against her — not with haste, but with a torturous, deliberate slowness. Slow, deep rolls of his hips, grinding his straining hardness against the soft, protected core of her. The barrier of their underwear was maddening, a frustrating tease that only heightened the intensity. He was taking his time, savoring every single gasp and moan that escaped her lips, each sound a testament to his control and her surrender. He remembered the way her back had arched off the bed, pushing her breasts more firmly against his chest, a silent plea for more. Her hands had clutched his shoulders, her nails digging into his skin, not in protest, but in a desperate attempt to anchor herself as waves of pleasure washed over her. He remembered the way her thighs had trembled around him, the muscles quivering with a tension that was part resistance, part anticipation.
The soft, breathy sounds she made when he changed the rhythm were his undoing. Sometimes he would use shallow, teasing thrusts, barely grazing her center, making her whimper in frustration. Then, without warning, he would switch to deeper, more insistent rolls of his hips, grinding against her, letting her feel the full length and girth of his desire through the soaked fabric of their underwear. He remembered how she had pulled him closer, her body responding with an instinctual, primal rhythm even as guilt and fear warred a losing battle inside her.
Then his mind shifted, the scene in his head dissolving and reforming into the other position. He remembered when she had climbed on top of him, her movements shy at first, then growing bolder. The women on top position2. She had been straddling his hips, her knees on either side of him, her hands resting on his chest for balance. The sight of her above him was burned into his memory: her dark hair falling around her face in a wild curtain, the black bra cups barely containing the full, heavy weight of her breasts, the deep cleavage rising and falling with every ragged breath she took. The way she had rocked against him — slow at first, tentative, then with more confidence — grinding her core against his aching hardness, her breath coming faster, soft moans filling the dark room.
He remembered the searing heat of her through the thin lace of her panties, the way her body had trembled violently when she found just the right angle, the friction sending sparks of electricity through them both. He remembered how his hands had gripped her hips, his fingers digging into the soft, yielding flesh, guiding her movements, feeling the powerful muscles of her thighs work as she rode him. He had watched, mesmerized, as she took her pleasure from him, her head thrown back, her lips parted, her body a perfect, undulating wave of surrender and command.
Feroz closed his eyes, a deep, shuddering sigh escaping him. The memories were so vivid they were almost hallucinations. He could still feel the warmth of her body, the way she had pressed herself against him in missionary, the solid weight of her on top of him in the women-on-top position, the soft, breathy sounds she made, the way her thighs had trembled around him. The guilt was a physical weight, crushing his chest. This was his bahu. His son's wife. He had betrayed Danish in the worst possible way, a sin that stained his soul. Yet the memory of those intimate moments refused to leave his mind, playing on a relentless loop behind his eyelids.
He felt ashamed of how much he had enjoyed it. Ashamed of how his body had responded to her softness, her warmth, her quiet, desperate surrender. Ashamed that even now, sitting alone in his room, the thought of her riding him slowly, her full breasts moving with each deliberate roll of her hips, sent a fresh, powerful wave of heat straight to his groin. He was hard again, just from the memory.
He rubbed his face with both hands, his fingers pressing into his eyes, trying to physically push the images away. But they stayed, branded on the inside of his eyelids.
He remembered how he had held her afterward, their bodies slick with sweat and tangled in the sheets. His arms had wrapped tightly around her, his hands resting possessively on the small of her back and the curve of her buttocks, holding her like she belonged to him, like she was his. He remembered the way she had curled into his chest, pressing herself against him, seeking comfort even as the reality of what they had done began to creep in, a cold seeping into the warmth of their post-coital embrace.
Feroz let out a long, heavy breath, the sound loud in the silence of the room.
He knew it was wrong. Deeply, unforgivably wrong. A betrayal of the highest order.
Yet a small, selfish part of him couldn't stop replaying those moments, savoring them, treasuring them like a forbidden jewel.
The after-dinner quiet in the Delhi house felt different from the quiet in Hyderabad. In Delhi, it was peaceful, a gentle lull after the day's warmth and the evening's chatter. In his room, Danish sank onto the edge of the bed, the crisp sheets cool beneath his hands. The small lamp on the side table cast a warm, honeyed glow, making the space feel like a sanctuary.
