“It’s settled, then,” Mr. Krishnamoorthy said. He stood, adjusting his veshti. “We should get going. Our flight’s at eleven, and SFO is a long drive."
Mrs. Ranganayaki rose as well, smoothing her saree. “Yazhini, come help me pack the last few things.”
Yazhini followed her mother upstairs, her mind already racing with plans. A year. Fifty-two weeks. Countless chances to get Selvam alone, to feel his cock inside her again, to take his seed deep where it could grow. She’d need to track her cycle, figure out when she was most fertile. Maybe download an app. Maybe ask Vanitha for advice... discreetly, of course. Vanitha would know. Vanitha had been with Selvam for months, maybe longer. She’d know how to make sure his cum took root.
The packing didn’t take long. Yazhini had brought very little... just enough for the competition weekend, plus a few extras. Her mother folded each item with care, her movements slow and deliberate, as if trying to stretch out these last moments together.
“You’ll be good for Selvam uncle, won’t you?” Mrs. Ranganayaki asked. She didn’t look up from the salwar she was folding. “You’ll remember everything we’ve taught you? About being a proper Tamil girl?”
“Yes, Amma,” Yazhini said. The words felt hollow. There was nothing proper about what she was planning, about what she wanted from Selvam. But her mother didn’t need to know that. No one did.
They carried the suitcases downstairs. Mr. Krishnamoorthy was already waiting by the door, car keys in hand. Selvam stood beside him, the two men talking in low voices. They fell silent when the women approached.
“All set?” Mr. Krishnamoorthy asked.
Mrs. Ranganayaki nodded. She turned to Yazhini, her eyes suddenly bright with tears. “Oh, my girl,” she said, pulling her into a tight hug. “Be careful. Be good. Remember who you are.”
Yazhini hugged her back, genuine emotion swelling in her chest. Despite everything... despite the lies, the plans, the things she was keeping secret... she loved her parents. Would miss them. Would feel guilty, maybe, when she called to tell them she was pregnant with Selvam’s child.
But not enough to change her mind.
Mr. Krishnamoorthy hugged her next, his mustache tickling her cheek. “Make us proud,” he said. “Next competition, first place. Yes?”
“Yes, Appa,” Yazhini promised. She would make them proud. Just not in the way they expected.
The goodbyes at the door took longer than necessary. More hugs, more promises, more reminders about calling, about studying, about being good. Through it all, Selvam stood slightly apart, his face composed, his posture perfect. The picture of responsible guardianship.
Finally, her parents got into the rental car... her father behind the wheel, her mother in the passenger seat. They waved from the windows as they pulled away, her mother dabbing at her eyes with the end of her saree. Yazhini waved back, her smile bright until the car turned onto the main road and disappeared from view.
Then she turned to Selvam, her expression changing. The pretense dropped away, replaced by something hungrier, more direct. “They’re gone,” she said.
He nodded. His eyes were dark, focused entirely on her face. “They’re gone.”
She stepped closer, close enough to feel the heat radiating from his body. “A whole year,” she whispered. “Just you and me.”
His hand came up to cup her cheek, his thumb brushing across her lower lip. “Just you and me,” he agreed.
Outside, the olive trees stood silent in the afternoon sun. The terracotta roof tiles caught the light, glowing warm against the blue California sky. The house... Selvam’s house, their house now... waited behind them, empty and full of possibility.
Yazhini took his hand, her small fingers curling around his larger ones. “Show me my room,” she said. “The one that’s going to be mine for the next year.”
He smiled then, a slow curve of his lips that made her stomach flip. “It’s upstairs,” he said. “Second door on the right.”
They climbed the stairs together, his hand still wrapped around hers. The guest room was exactly as he’d described... clean, spacious, with a window overlooking the olive grove. A queen-sized bed with fresh white sheets. A dresser. A small desk by the window. Everything a proper young woman would need for a year away from home.
Yazhini stood in the doorway, taking it in. Her room. For a year. With Selvam just down the hall.
“It’s perfect,” she said.
He released her hand. “I’ll let you get settled. Dinner’s at seven.”
She turned to face him. The hallway was narrow here, the space between them charged with everything they weren’t saying. She could smell him... that clean, masculine scent that had filled her senses last night when he was above her, inside her.
“Uncle,” she said. Her voice came out softer than she intended.
He looked down at her, his eyes dark. “Yes?”
She took a step closer. Close enough to see the individual stubbles on his jaw, the small scar above his left eyebrow. “Last night,” she said. “When you filled my navel. With your...”
She didn’t finish the sentence. She didn’t need to. His jaw tightened, a muscle jumping in his cheek.
“I know,” he said. “I remember.”
“You told me it would take,” she said. Her voice was barely above a whisper. “If you’d finished inside me. You said your seed was strong enough.”
He was silent for a moment. His eyes dropped to her stomach, to the flat plane of her belly where her navel sat, deep and hollow and empty now. “It would have,” he said. His voice came out rough, like the words were being dragged from somewhere deep in his chest. “If I’d let it.”
She nodded. Her hand came up, pressing flat against her stomach, her fingers spread wide. She could feel the warmth of her own skin through the thin cotton of her salwar kameez. Somewhere beneath that skin, beneath the muscle and tissue and blood, was the place where a baby would grow. Where his baby would grow, if she could get it there.
“That’s the trophy I want,” she said.
The words hung in the narrow hallway between them. Selvam’s breath caught audibly. His eyes locked onto hers, dark and unreadable.
“Yazhini,” he said. A warning. Or maybe a question.
She held his gaze. “Not the dance trophy. Not some piece of metal on a shelf.” Her hand pressed harder against her stomach. “This. Your seed. Growing inside me. That’s what I came here for. That’s what I’m staying for.”
His jaw worked. She could see the conflict in his face... the responsible man who had pulled out last night, who had chosen her navel over her womb, battling with the man who had looked at her open mouth and empty navel and wanted to fill them both again.
“You’re nineteen,” he said. The same thing he’d said last night. The same reason he’d given for pulling out.
“I’ll be twenty in three months.”
Mrs. Ranganayaki rose as well, smoothing her saree. “Yazhini, come help me pack the last few things.”
Yazhini followed her mother upstairs, her mind already racing with plans. A year. Fifty-two weeks. Countless chances to get Selvam alone, to feel his cock inside her again, to take his seed deep where it could grow. She’d need to track her cycle, figure out when she was most fertile.
