Chapter 5 — First Night, Two Stops
Dark. Generator. Two people performing sleep.
Why did you agree to this trip so easily, she asked the ceiling.
Because you asked. And because I am not a good man in the way your voice wants me to be good. I can carry bags and still want you. I have wanted you since before that lift. I think you know.
I stepped back after that day.
I know. I counted.
If you touch me tonight I will hate both of us in the morning.
Then I won’t.
His hand found the blanket near her wrist, not her wrist. She moved her wrist. He did not follow. Later the hand found her sleeve, then her pulse. She said his name like a blade.
If you do that I will get up and sleep in the bathroom. I am not joking.
He lifted the hand at once and turned to the wall.
She lay looking at his back, robe open an inch, nipples tight. When she thought he slept she slid her own hand into the brief. She was dripping. She rubbed her clit in small mean circles and came with her teeth in the pillow, eyes on the man she had just refused. She wiped her fingers on the inner robe. The smell stayed.
He was not fully asleep. He heard the broken breath. He put his fist around himself over the shorts and did not stroke. Stopping was the only sex in the room that belonged to both of them.
Chapter 6 — Twenty Kilometres, Jeeva Holds
Ramya came out with wet hair and a towel that wanted to be less than a towel. Jeeva saw her breasts, the dark nipples, the faint shadow between her legs. He went hard in his jeans like a teenager. He went to the balcony anyway.
We can just sit, she said. Sitting is also a choice.
He sat in the chair, not the bed. When she crossed to take a bottle her hip passed his knee. He did not hold it.
At the door she kissed him because she was tired of careful. He allowed the first second. Tongue, mint, her stomach against his cock through cloth. The second second he turned so her mouth hit his cheek.
I can’t sleep with you. Not as a test. As me.
Can’t or won’t.
Won’t.
Then don’t text your wife like a man who already did, Ramya said. That game is uglier than this room.
He stood on the balcony and wrote to Tara anyway, shorter and stupider than the truth: We shared a kiss. One. She’s in the bathroom. What do you think happened last night. He thought honesty was a rope back. He did not know she would read towel, bathroom, kiss, and paint the rest with the muscle she had trained to imagine slipping.
He slept on the far edge, dressed, cock aching, and did not knock on Ramya’s shoulder. Stopping had a smell. It smelled like toothpaste and unspent men.
