In the quiet dawn of a new Mumbai morning, where the first rays of sunlight kissed the Arabian Sea and filtered gently through the silk curtains of the Taj suite,Ayesha’s eyes fluttered open. The digital clock on the nightstand read 9:24 a.m. Her heart lurched with quiet alarm.
She had slept in. She 'never' slept in.
As she sat up, the blankets pooled around her waist, cool air kissing her bare skin. She was still wearing yesterday’s underclothes. Panic flickered through her — she had skipped her entire sacred night routine. No flossing, no brushing, no shower, no soft cotton kurta. She had fallen asleep in Aditya’s arms, her body trusting him completely.
Aditya stepped out of the bathroom, freshly showered, a white towel wrapped low around his lean hips. The morning light danced across his dragon tattoo, making the intricate ink look even more alive and powerful. He grinned around his toothbrush, eyes warm with affection. “Good morning, jaan.”
She clapped a hand over her mouth, suddenly self-conscious about her breath.
He moved with easy grace, pulling fresh clothes from a small overnight bag. Ayesha couldn’t help but watch — the fluid play of muscles across his back, the tempting twin dimples at the base of his spine. She longed to trace them with her fingertips, to pull the towel away and explore every inch of him.
“It wraps around my right thigh,” he said softly, glancing over his shoulder with a knowing smile.
Her cheeks warmed. The grand tattoo truly covered much of him — a majestic dragon winding across his body like a protector of ancient legends. She imagined herself wrapped around him the same way, skin to skin, heart to heart.
She opened her mouth to speak, but the dryness overwhelmed her. She slipped out of bed, grabbed his white shirt from the nightstand, and hurried to the bathroom, pulling it over her head as she went. The fabric still carried his warm, intoxicating scent — sandalwood, rain-kissed earth, and something uniquely 'him'. She breathed it in like a secret before beginning her routine.
Aditya joined her briefly, spitting into the sink after brushing. He leaned in and pressed the softest kiss to her cheek. He smelled of hotel soap, mint, and that same addictive essence that made her knees weak. Lucky her, indeed.
When she emerged, he was almost dressed — clean jeans hugging his hips, a fitted black T-shirt stretched across his chest. The sight of him made her heart ache with a strange mix of longing and fear that this beautiful night was ending.
“We need to talk,” she said, voice steady despite the storm inside.
His expression turned serious, and her stomach dropped. He was going to refuse. Last night had been filled with her fears, her tears, her awkwardness. Of course he wanted nothing more to do with her.
“I have something at ten I cannot miss,” he said gently, slinging his bag over his shoulder. His eyes held heartbreaking kindness as he looked at her.
“I need to know if we’re moving forward with the lessons or not,” she whispered.
He shook his head slowly, a sad smile touching his lips. “I’m afraid not. I’m sorry, Ayesha.”
Her heart plummeted, but she lifted her chin with quiet dignity. “I’ll leave you a glowing review. Thank you for everything. The kissing… it was beautiful.”
He stepped closer, his jaw tight. “Girls like you don’t need escorts, Ayesha. You deserve someone who sees how extraordinary you are. Someone who will love you properly.”
Anger and hurt flared in her chest, but beneath it was a deeper ache. “Girls like me intimidate men. Girls like me have to fight for every connection. I 'will' get better at this. I will learn to be someone worth loving.”
The words hung between them, raw and vulnerable.
Aditya’s expression softened with something profound. He took her hand, his thumb brushing tenderly over her knuckles. “Three sessions. That is the most I can give.”
Her heart soared so suddenly she felt lightheaded. “Three sessions?”
“If we do this, you must promise me — when it ends, no clinging, no calls, no gifts. My life… it’s complicated. I cannot handle attachments.”
“I promise,” she whispered, though the thought of this ending already hurt more than she expected.
He pulled her close, pressing her back against the door. “I’m going to kiss you now.”
“Okay,” she breathed.
Aditya touched his lips to hers, and pleasure jolted straight to Ayesha’s heart, racing down her arms, down her legs. Tilting his head, he kissed her deeper. Once. Twice. Again. Until she sighed and leaned fully into him, tangling her fingers in his cool hair. He claimed her mouth with his tongue in a way that was both new and beautifully familiar. She kissed him back with everything in her, trying to tell him all the things she wasn’t articulate enough to say.
“God, Ayesha,” he rasped against her lips, his dark eyes dazed and heavy-lidded. “You learned that fast.”
Before she could respond, he took her mouth again. She forgot about the time, forgot about work, even forgot about her anxiety. His strong body pressed against hers, and she arched into him, reveling in his closeness.
Her phone buzzed with her mother’s ring tone.
Aditya tore away at once, flushed and breathing heavily. He sucked his bottom lip into his mouth as he stared deep into her eyes, looking like he was two seconds away from kissing her again.
“I should get that.” She slipped inside, sat on the edge of the bed, and pressed the talk button on her phone with a shaky thumb. “Hello?”
“Ayesha dear, your father’s—oh, hold on a second.” Her father’s deep voice rumbled on the other end, and Ayesha held the phone away from her ear as her parents discussed weekend plans.
Aditya approached her “I need to go, but we’re on for next Friday.”
“Next Friday,” she confirmed with a nod.
Instead of leaving immediately as she expected, he leaned down and brushed a fleeting kiss to her mouth. “Good-bye, Ayesha.”
She watched his departure in a dazed state. They were meeting again. In a week.
“Who was that?” Even with the phone several inches from her ear, Ayesha could hear her mother’s surprise.
“That was… Aditya.” A breathless kind of nervousness filled her. She might like it that her mother had discovered her male visitor.
A brief silence ensued, followed by, “Ayesha dear, did you spend the night with a man?”
“It’s not what you think. We didn’t do anything. Other than kissing.” The best kissing of Ayesha’s life.
“Well, why ever not?”
Ayesha’s mouth worked without issuing words.
“You’re a mature adult, and you make good choices. Now, tell me all about this Aditya.”
She had slept in. She 'never' slept in.
