My aim is to explore how women in otherwise "happy marriages" end up cheating than the usual "Whore wife who cheated because that guy had bigger dick" stories. Such cases are happening all over and we read or hear about it every now and then.

A wave of apprehension gnawed at Kavya as she left her one-and-a-half-year-old son, Nirav, at her mother's house and hailed a ride share. This was the first time she had entrusted his care to someone else, and the thought of being away from him for four days made her heart ache. She worried about how much he might cry for her, even though her mother was close to him. 


  

Priya's words echoed in her mind, "Do it for yourself, Kavya. You also need to take a break from your motherly duties." Priya was right. Ever since she got pregnant, Kavya's life had revolved entirely around her baby, leaving no time for herself.  

Her husband of six years, Harshit, had refused to drop her at the train station, citing an important meeting. She knew, as a senior manager, he could have easily rescheduled it, but his displeasure at her leaving was clear. Kavya was determined to attend her colleague's wedding. She needed a break from everything, including Harshit's house. 

As she reached the train station, she found Suhail already waiting. He was a fresh graduate, just 22, and looked like a teenager. Next came Priya with her husband, Matthew. Kavya envied Priya's chic style and the freedom her husband allowed her. Priya and Matthew, who had met on Tinder and married, shared Instagram stories filled with their adventures and Priya's fashionable outfits. Even now, Priya wore stylish cotton pyjamas perfect for the train journey. Her luggage bag was twice the size of Kavya's. 
Noticing Kavya's unease, Priya reassured her that everything would be fine. Soon, Ravish joined them. At 28, the same age as Priya, he was their team leader. Slightly overweight but always supportive, he was the mother hen of the team, never micromanaging them. 

The train was about to leave, but their last co-passenger hadn't arrived yet, and he wasn't answering his phone. The group grew tense, unsure whether to board the train or wait. Suddenly, they saw a figure sprinting towards them. It was Manikandan, or Mani for short. Like Suhail, he was a fresher, but at 25, he had taken a different path, studying for a diploma and working various jobs before venturing into IT. 

  

The team breathed a collective sigh of relief. Mani was the heartbeat of their team, always bringing fun and energy to the office. His carefree attitude had delayed his graduation, but he remained unapologetically himself. Mani immediately hugged Matthew, chatting like old friends. Kavya noticed how comfortable Priya's husband was with her travelling with three men. When Kavya had considered cancelling, it was Priya who had insisted that she come along.  

Soon they boarded the train and settled into their seats. They pulled out a deck of Uno cards and started playing, which quickly led to lots of arguments and laughter. Kavya felt a rush of excitement and nostalgia. It had been over a decade since she travelled by train, as her family usually opted for flights and cars. 
Their destination was a small village far from any airport or major station. The closest point was a nature reserve that had recently gained popularity on Instagram. Unable to book direct tickets, they had to leave much earlier than the wedding date. 
"Kavya, the train has started, but your mind is still at home," laughed Priya, noticing her lost expression. 
"I don't know, but I'm getting a bad feeling," replied Kavya. "Leaving Harshit and Nirav for the first time..." 
"It's okay, Kavya," said Ravish. "You deserve this break. Don't worry, they will be fine." 
"It's just that he doesn't know I'm going to the resort," Kavya said quietly. "He thinks we'll be gone for four days just for the wedding." 
"Why didn't you tell him?" exclaimed Suhail. 
"Well, when I mentioned the wedding, the only thing he asked was what about Nirav," Kavya explained. "And when I said my mom would take care of him, he got upset that I discussed it with her before him." 
"But still, you should have informed him about the resort," said Ravish. 
Kavya looked at Priya, hoping for a different answer. Priya shrugged, "Well, it was Matthew's idea to book a resort instead of spending all three days in the village." 
"What should I do?" Kavya asked. "Should I call him and tell him now?" 
"Well, technically you did not mislead him or lie to him. You are going away for the wedding and if he can’t really hold the conversation, you can’t discuss the details with him. I’d say hold it over him instead should the need ever arise." interjected Mani, who had been quiet until then. 
"Well, that is an idea!" added Priya. "I agree sharing this now makes no sense. There will be an argument, you will spoil your mood." 
"What if he finds out?" wondered Kavya out aloud. 
"Don't worry, we won't post any pictures on Instagram or WhatsApp that have your face in them," said Priya. "That way, he won't know anything." 
Kavya bit her lip. It wasn't a simple thing. Harshit wasn't the patriarchal type. She remembered how he allowed her to wear sexy dresses and go to clubs with her girlfriends during the early days of their marriage, which even her conservative parents didn't allow. He was as open-minded as Matthew. 
Also, Harshit often joked that Instagram was like Twitter for people who couldn't read. He didn't follow any of her friends, so she felt safe.  
"Okay, Kavya, I want you to get up and put your hands on your heart to take a pledge," said Priya. Kavya complied. 
Priya started, "Repeat after me: In the next four days, I won't think about Nirav or Harshit. The only person that will matter is me, and I'll enjoy it like I'm fresh out of college." 
"Should I?" asked Kavya nervously. 
"Of course you should," said Mani. "Otherwise, you might as well get off at the next station. What's the use of going on vacation if you can't relax and enjoy yourself?" 
"I guess it's too late now," smiled Kavya. 
As she closed her eyes, she felt an energy rush through her body, and the word "vacation" seemed like a luxury. She promised herself that for the next few days, nothing else would matter, and she would enjoy every moment

[madiha.agarwal]

The dinner trolley came, and everyone was busy eating, but Kavya was still pondering the fact that she hadn't informed Harshit. After dinner, she excused herself to the toilet and checked her phone. There were no notifications. She opened WhatsApp and saw that her message "Boarded train. See you" to Harshit had a blue tick. He had read it but hadn't replied. 


She wanted to call her mom, but it was already 10:05, and this was the time Nirav would be too cranky to sleep. Sleeping without his mom for the first time, hearing her voice might only agitate him. Dejected, Kavya went to the door of the railway car. The cold air hit her face, but there was something about it that made her smile. She decided to stand there until the next station, letting the air clear her mind. 

  

While she was lost in her thoughts, she felt a camera flash. She turned to find Mani standing with his phone, grinning at her. He looked at the screen, and his jaw dropped. 
"Wow," he said, looking surprised. Kavya was stunned by his reaction, thinking maybe her picture looked bad. She stood there for some time in silence while Mani admired the photo. Then he showed it to her. It was perfect! Her hair was flying in the wind, the background blurred due to the speed of the train, her body prominently displayed with her dress highlighting her features. Her face had a melancholic smile that added to her allure. It was a million emotions frozen in time. 



"My masterpiece," said Mani, breaking the trance. Kavya nodded. Ever since they had joined the company, Mani would offer to take pictures of her, edit them, and send them back. She liked how he openly admired her beauty and praised her. He did the same for Priya, so it never felt inappropriate. 

"This one needs zero editing. You could hang it in your living room," he added. 

"Thank you, Mani," said Kavya happily. "You are a good photographer." 

"With a woman as beautiful as you, photography comes naturally," replied Mani with a wink. 

They both returned to their seats, smiling. Mani always knew how to make her smile, both at the office and through messages. Since Harshit often worked late, Kavya would be bored after putting Nirav to bed. Mani would message her around 10:30, and they would chat and laugh. He always ended by praising her looks. The more she blushed, the more he praised her beauty and femininity, making her evenings pleasant. 

The group set up their sleepers and began to doze off. As the train passed through a city, mobile internet returned, and she received a notification. She opened it excitedly, thinking it was Harshit, but it was the photo Mani took with the caption "SAD ANGLE."

 Kavya laughed. Mani often called her an "angel," but his bad English made him type "angle." She teased him back, asking if it was an acute angle or an obtuse angle. 

They all slept and reached the station the next morning. The resort had sent a Jeep for pickup. After a tough one-hour journey through unpaved roads, they reached the resort. It was an amazing place with giant trees surrounding the house and a small river flowing in front. They had booked two rooms, one for the boys and one for the girls. After the tiring journey, they needed a rest.

I don't know why, mostly the authors never comment or encourage other writers. But the authors expect comments and all sort of things for their thread. How selfish??

You broke the trend, thumbs-up. I came here reading your comments. I like your username Madiha. I have a past with that name.

I've no problems in commenting in other threads. In fact In Literotica, my editor loved my characters and ended up writing a story based on my character in Australia..

I'll read your story when i get time. I need a proper setting to do that

[madiha.agarwal]

Hi madiha,

I like your casting of the characters, you have one from every R.....on. Are Priya-mathew interfaith? Then thumbs-up. Thats how friends are made. Realistic. This suggests that we are from same part of the country..

Premise is promising, keep it simple, keep it relatable. Tease the readers, Don't introduce an Alpha male and extreme cuckoldry . Keep posting.

My story is more on exploring how supposedly happy wife cheat . Priya and Matthew met on tinder so they are the last to look at caste/religion.. i didn't want any religion based fetishes but just about group of IT workers who ended as friends

[madiha.agarwal]

Awesome, Two women and four men.

Three men .. unless you want to add another character

[madiha.agarwal]

Hi Madiha. Nice to see you back. Been a fan of your previous landlord story. Loved your writing in that. And a good start here as well that indeed has my interest to see where it goes. Welcome back and thanks for starting a new story.

Wow these photos look really good.. which app/website did you use ? I've many followup questions on this

[madiha.agarwal]

Around 10 o'clock, they felt refreshed and had breakfast. Since it was off-season, there were no other guests except for a honeymoon couple the owner mentioned were also staying at the resort. Their first activity was white water rafting. They all went back to their rooms to change. Priya had already bought a UV protection swimsuit jacket and shortsshorts specificallypecifically for this trip. Kavya had no choice but to wear a cotton T-shirt and shorts. The boys all wore shorts and T-shirts. 

The jeep took them to the starting point of the river. The rushing sound of the water made Kavya nervous, and she hesitated, but Priya encouraged her to continue. They all donned helmets and life jackets while the instructor briefed them on safety. Once everyone was in the boat, the instructor took the paddles and began rowing into the river. 

The rapids were initially gentle, but after a few minutes, they became steep enough to rock the boat. Kavya clutched the boat tightly as water splashed into it. As they approached a narrow and fast section of the river, Kavya attempted to paddle, but the water was rushing too fast for her to manage. 

The river descended in a big fall, and they dropped at least 20 feet. The boat almost capsized although the instructor deftly handled it, but Kavya was thrown out of the raft and into the river while the others somehow held on. 

Kavya was shocked as she fell into the cold water, it chilled her to the bone. She was trying to thrash as she didn't know how to swim. She didn't understand that she wouldn't drown due to life jacket and was screaming at the top of her lungs due to fear. She tried to grab something to support herself, but the flow of the river quickly carried her away. The instructor called out to relax and calm down saying that they will very soon hit the calm waters and will be able to fish her out without problems, but Kavya did not process any of that. 


Mani realised that she was badly panicked and jumped into the river to try and calm her down. Aiming himself towards her, he quickly reached her but in her panicked state she was thrashing a lot. He then held her midriff tightly drawing her attention and whispered,
 "you can't drown Kavya; you have a life jacket" 



Kavya stopped thrashing and Mani gave a long sigh as her body finally relaxed. She felt the strength of Mani's arms as he held her in a strong grip. Though shivering due to the cold water, she was relieved that Mani had saved her. In that commotion she didn't realise that her t-shirt had come up and Mani was grabbing her bare stomach as they floated into calmer waters. When they neared the raft, Mani held on to it and helped her get on while pushing her up and then climbing in himself.  

Once they were inside the raft, she started shivering. The river was a bit placid now, but the instructor called out that there were few more rapid descents. She started screaming to leave her alone and she doesn't want to go rafting anymore. 
Priya tried to reason by saying that they are in the middle of forest and there is no option to get off in the middle of nowhere, but the instructor corrected her saying that there were vantage points where they drop off quitters and there is a landline to call the main office to send the Jeep. 

Mani offered to get down with her and Kavya was relieved that he was ready to be with him. They got down at the vantage point and called the office. The office replied that it would take at least half an hour for the Jeep to reach. It was around 1 pm now. 
They removed their life jackets and kept talking. Kavya noticed that this time Mani was finding it hard to maintain eye contact and kept glancing at her chest. She looked down and realised the cotton T-shirt was clinging to her body revealing the outline of her bra and her midriff was slightly visible because of the wetness of the clothes. She suddenly became aware of her vulnerable state. 

[madiha.agarwal]

They removed the life jacket and kept talking. Kavya noticed that this time Mani was finding it hard to keep his eye contact and kept glancing at her chest. She looked down and realised the cotton t-shirt was clinging to her body revealing the outline of her bra and her midriff was slightly visible because of the wetness of the clothes. She suddenly became conscious of her actions.


After a few minutes Mani said " you know I showed our pics to my aunt and my aunt looked at you asked if you were my girlfriend"

Kavya blushed at his comment. Then said " Really? What did you say "

Mani gave a lopsided smile and then continued " I said she is married and has a kid . But she said you looked so young and hot"

Kavya laughed loudly. 

"I said she is also an aged person like you , my other aunty at office" joked Mani

Kavya immediately punched his arm" do I look like an aunty? " she chided

Mani laughingly stuck his tongue out. Kavya quickly slapped his hand and turned away from him in mock anger .

Mani was still staring at her chest area. " You have a very flat stomach for a mother of a child " he commented

Kavya started laughing at his statement. "That must be because I don't eat much" she remarked
Mani smiled " Yeah"

She realised that the conversation is getting weird.

"I'm sorry for touching your stomach area back in the river, you were thrashing and i had no choice" he apologised.

"It's ok, I was so shocked falling into water without swimming I didn't know what to do, " she replied meekly.

He started giggling " did you think that you would sink? You have a life jacket and the water was hardly 10 feet "

Kavya was confused as to how to reply.

"Anyways thank god you came to rescue " Kavya said, patting his shoulder .

" Sometimes,kavya, the best things can be enjoyed if you stop thinking and struggling and slowly relax and let it flow, " Mani said .

Kavya stared at him as if he was narrating one of his philosophy classes in college.

"you always say the right thing, amazes me everytime " she complimented

Mani laughed " when i meet you, my ego seems to disappear completely, when i'm around you everything else seems so small "he admitted

She got stunned by his admission and then smiled back sheepishly " Well , your mind should go astray sometime, so it doesn't bore you too much " she teased.

Mani gave a sly grin and replied " hey who says its boredom. I am extremely fascinated by your beauty. Your humour, your attitude all fascinates me "

Kavya couldn't help herself and chuckled and placed her hand on his thigh.

"Yes you are really interesting to watch, whenever I see you I can't control myself." Mani added and Kavya instantly took her hand off his thigh and blushed profusely. She didn't know whether to take it as flattery or as embarrassment.

After a while they both fell silent, the adrenaline rush of water rescue was almost over. Both of them were feeling cold due to wet bodies and the breeze made it worse. Each minute passed slowly and they didn't know when the jeep would arrive . They had no change of clothes and they couldn't move away from vantage point .

Mani instinctively pulled her close and hugged her tight and she felt herself melt into his embrace. He buried his face into her hair and inhaled deeply smelling the subtle smell of fresh shampoo in her hair.
Kavya closed her eyes and her senses reawakened as she felt his body pressed against hers and it sent shivers down her spine. Her heart was beating fast and she could feel her cheeks heating up. She could feel her nipple hardened and stiffen under the thin cotton t-shirt. She felt embarrassed. She pulled back a little.

Mani felt uncomfortable when she pulled and said " I'm sorry kavya but they say in such situations, we should hug each other for body warmth ".

She stared at him blankly not knowing how to react. She wanted to push him away but it felt so good being embraced by him. His warmth engulfed her.

"We don't have to do anything, we can just hold hands till the vehicle comes" he added sensing her hesitation.

Kavya bit her lip.

Then finally nodded and hugged him tightly, closed her eyes and took a deep breath trying to absorb the moment. She felt his erection pressing against her and she pressed her pelvis towards his.

[madiha.agarwal]

Hi madiha,

Except the names, everything is kind of westhern in the story. Its like 2 days and 3 nights movie.

I can sense ,romance is in the air. If possible keep it desi yar.

Kavya may be from the Era were women empowerment, feminism have taken the centre stage. But hugging and pressing her genitals on mani, after hearing the filmsy idea from mani. Made no sense. Felt rushed. Mani is a outright flirt, she fell too soon.

Hello Tamilian

At the risk of giving spoilers, this moment was a result of several months of flirting over whatsapp and real life...She goes through a period of introspection after this over how and why it happened...

I hope u are not upset that Mani is a tamilian 

[madiha.agarwal]

HONK !!! HONK !!!

[madiha.agarwal]

As they held each a sudden noise broke their trance; it was the jeep honking wildly. They both turned around and saw two resort workers approaching from the far end of the bridge holding two towels each in their hands and gesturing frantically towards them. 


The driver shouted something from inside the jeep and it began moving towards them. 

They released each other with an audible sigh. Kavya grabbed the towel from the resort worker and wrapped it around her body. She took another one and wrapped it around her head covering her face with the neck opening. Mani also covered himself with a towel. They both put on their shoes and climbed in the jeep with the two-resort staff following closely behind. 

The journey back to the hotel was awkward. Kavya sat next to mani in the back seat. The front seat was empty and there was no window there, so he placed his leg on the middle seat making sure it did not touch Kavya. They were quiet for some time. 

The jeep stopped near the reception. The two resort workers got down and signalled to get out of the jeep. Mani got down first and collected the key cards. He gave hers and they wordlessly went to their rooms which were adjacent to each other. 

As she entered her room, she locked the door and immediately removed her T-shirt and looked at herself in the mirror. There was still dirt and sweat all over her body, but she noticed that her midriff was flat as she was told. There were stretch marks from pregnancy visible on her hips and tummy. But they were really difficult to notice because the fair skin tone was concealing them. She was proud of her own reflection. 


She touched 72 kgs in the last months of pregnancy because of Indian superstition of eating for two. She had really worked herself to a respectable 58 kgs after birth of Nirav, by breastfeeding and exercising and had kept it off. She turned around again looking at her slim figure. 


She removed all her clothes and stepped into a warm shower. Her thoughts drifted back to Mani's words "your body is really amazing, especially your belly." She remembered what happened at the vantage point. Was Mani's actions right or wrong? Yes, he did save her and was with her instead of relying on strangers from the resort in a dark forest like this. But at the same time, he kept staring at her breasts. 

But then she looked down at her boobs and thought, why wouldn't he? After all, they had grown from 32B to 34C post pregnancy and lactation, he was human too. Seeing her completely drenched and clingy must have made him horny. He wasn't being indecent by looking, he was just being honest, and his statement wasn't any less than flattering.  

Also, Mani had the reputation of flirting with almost every woman in her company. They all found it amusing rather than offensive because of his ability to make people laugh. He also used to change girlfriends every now and then. In fact, he would flirt with Priya in front of Matthew, and they would just laugh with him. It had become a habit of his that he couldn't stop flirting with every woman he met, and Kavya never really took offence. 

Finally, she emerged from the bathroom. Wearing only her panties and bra, she ran her fingers through her wet hair and looked out of the window. It was evening, the sky was already turning pinkish red with darkness setting in quickly. The water from the pool trickled down her body and it made her shiver and goosebumps appear on her skin. She got dressed. 


It wasn't long before Priya and the others arrived. They were very tired as the entire trip was three hours long with no break in paddling and after the first two rapid descents, it just felt like moving in a slow roller coaster for hours. Priya said she was just lucky and went to freshen up. Kavya wanted to talk about what happened with Mani but decided against it. 

[madiha.agarwal]

Nice going Madiha... But your updates are too short. I as a reader get engaged with first few paragraphs but then it abdrubtly ends.

I suggest don't be in a hurry to post an update, take your time build the premise and try engaging the reader with some thrill and suspense.

Your plot is great... Just try to get a little depth in your characters that way your story will become more interesting.

Keep going... All the best.

Thanks Suraj... I just wanted to tease the readers into what might happen next .. once I get into the main part, it will be bigger ...

[madiha.agarwal]

They went to the resort dining room for High tea and found the boys already having samosas and playing foosball. Mani was back to his jovial self as if nothing happened so Kavya decided to drop it altogether.  


After the high tea, they were just playing different games. Then at around 6:30 pm, Priya had requested the resort organisers to start the rain dance which was part of their package. They had started the rain dance, and the speakers were blaring some of the Bollywood dance numbers. Priya, Suhail and Mani immediately went and started dancing but Kavya and Ravish remained in their seats. 
Priya looked at them smiling while the boys were obviously teasing them. Priya called Ravish to take part in the dance and soon the whole group got involved. Priya grabbed Ravish's hand and pulled him away from Kavya onto the dance floor. Suhail also grabbed Kavya and held her by waist tightly while trying to pull her towards them. Kavya tried to move away but her hands were pulled down by Suhail and Priya who were holding her. They began dancing, she tried to resist but they were pulling her strongly. 
Kavya too realised that she should let go of herself as anyway she didn't enjoy the rafting, but at least she knows how to dance. She reluctantly joined the boys and began dancing. She couldn’t really get her rhythm and felt out of place and nervous. She hadn't done much dancing since she gave birth to Nirav. 

Before marriage she used to dance at weddings and parties with her friends and she loved to dance but after Nirav was born, her social life completely died. There was nothing that could interest her other than motherhood and doing things with him. She always considered it a blessing but today when all her friends were dancing, she suddenly felt so out of place. Kavya never felt this way before and today it just hit her hard. 

She wanted to go back to being that carefree person again and dance until her legs gave up from exhaustion. She started to focus on the music and didn't care that the men were staring at her soaked t-shirt and bra. She didn't care that there was some level of touching involved when they were doing a few steps. All she cared about was not leaving the dance floor. She wanted to keep on dancing forever. 

But then she slipped and fell down on the floor. Everyone stopped and helped her. Luckily there was no fracture or twist in her ankle. Kavya told them to continue their dancing while she watched them. Ravish too stopped dancing as being out of shape he couldn't continue further. Priya, Mani and Suhail resumed when they realised that she wasn’t hurt. 

Kavya's mind wandered home as she sat out and started feeling guilty. She hadn't contacted Harshit or Nirav in the last 24 hours and was enjoying her time alone. A tear rolled her eyes as she felt that she was doing something wrong. She quickly wiped away her tears and decided to call her husband, but the phone was in her room. So, she took the keycard from the table and left for her room. 

She went to her room and upon entering realised that she was still wet so she decided to change her clothes because calls with Harshit would take a long time, she was in two minds if she had to talk about whether she was in resort or not. 
She quickly removed her t-shirt, bra and shorts. She was only in her panties which she knew were wet too. Priya had pushed her bag under the bed, so she decided to bend down and pull that luggage out, but it was stuck. She started tugging but to no avail. Suddenly she heard footsteps behind her.

Before she could process it, the door unlocked.

[madiha.agarwal]

Hi madiha,


Is my guessing correct?

Well horny tamilian

You spelled what I had in mind ..you must go to Kerala and buy lottery tickets ..

On a serious note, I've been a fan of bdrew86, Shiprat and Aurelius who used to give smaller bite size updates in xossop and then release the full version in Literotica..

Different strokes for different folks (pun intended) 

Xossip is more engaging to authors with the constant updates made by the reader's and releasing it in small chunks make the readers wait in anticipation

[madiha.agarwal]

[madiha.agarwal]

Before she could process it, the door unlocked, and Mani came inside the room. He stared at her without saying anything and kept looking at her panty clad body. Kavya froze and tried to cover her breasts. Mani just moved closer and stared at her boobs, which were totally exposed due to the pose she was in. Kavya wanted to yell at him, but the words didn't come out.  
Finally, she gathered enough courage and asked, "Why are you here?" 

"Sorry, I wanted to take a dump and I accidentally took Priya's keycard instead of mine," explained Mani. 
He kept soaking in her fully nude figure without blinking. 
Kavya didn't know what to say. 
Mani quickly came close to her and said, "Sorry about entering your room", he lied as he still enjoyed the sight of her naked boobs, hard nipples and her pussy which was visible through her wet panties. 
"No need to be sorry man" said Kavya sarcastically. "And stop looking at me like that,". 
Mani finally stopped ogling her, "Sorry I couldn't resist; I have never seen such a beautiful body as yours before." he said softly. 
Kavya was dumbstruck. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Despite the fact that Mani had barged in when she was vulnerable and seen her in the way only Harshit was allowed to see, she was getting goosebumps as he praised her body. She had fallen prey to lust once again and wasn't able to understand why it happened. 

But the worst part was she didn't want him to stop looking at her. She enjoyed his eyes ogling at her body and it made her even more horny. Her emotions were taking over her senses and making her act in ways she never thought possible. She slowly relaxed her hands trying to cover her breasts. 

Mani too stopped trying to be apologetic and started staring at her chest and navel. Kavya realised that he was really turned on by seeing her. His erection started showing through his clingy wet shorts. It was quite big and almost reached the end of his shorts.
 This was driving her crazy and she was unable to think straight. Mani's eyes travelled down to her erect nipples. They looked so beautiful! It had already been five minutes since he entered the room. 

It was like a staring contest where both of them were anxious for the other to flinch. Kavya still didn't know what to do and Mani didn't want to force himself on her either. Finally, after giving each other several glances, they closed the gap between them. Maintaining eye contact, Mani gently put his arms around Kavya's waist. Kavya felt a wave of electricity sweep across her body from that touch. 

Mani put his fingers inside her navel and gently poked it, Kavya gave an audible moan. Mani knew the next step needs to be done very carefully keeping her in trance else she will snap out of it. He slowly moved his hands towards her breasts....

[madiha.agarwal]

TRRIINGGG!!!!!!!!!

The next move was very crucial but before he could do it there was a loud blaring sound from Kavya's phone. She pushed him off and rushed to the phone. It was Priya. She immediately answered it

"Hey Kavya, where are you? I can't find my keycard,do you know where it is?"

"Priya,I accidentally took it, please come here immediately ",Kavya replied. "I'm alone here and need company"

The desperateness in her voice showed Mani that whatever trance she was in has now evaporated . She must be aware of her actions now and it might be the right time for him to  escape before things get any worse. He left the room wordlessly cursing Priya under the breath for ruining the perfect moment he was dreaming all these days.

He left the room wondering how the fuck did this happen. Did she enjoy having him looking at her nude body ? How close was he to getting her had Priya not called? Will she come back or will she stop talking to him completely? would she block his number on all social media accounts? His mind was full of questions with no answers.Mani couldn't take it anymore and sat on the chair lost in his thoughts.

Just then Priya entered the room and noticed that Kavya was sitting completely distraught. "What's wrong Kavya? What happened? Are you okay? "asked Priya as she entered the room.

"Umm...nothing" Kavya said shakily "I..I'm fine,it's nothing

Priya sensed something was not right. "Are you sure kavya? You don't seem like you are ok, did something happen?".

Kavya hesitated to reply.She was still trying to gather her thoughts and process everything.She wanted to talk about the incident to Priya and hear her thoughts on the matter but at the same time she didn't want anyone else to know what just happened.

"I just...I don't know..I felt I was so alone in the middle of the forest so I panicked"

"Oh Kavya!"Priya sat next to her and wrapped her arms around her. "You should have said something earlier.I am really sorry for leaving you alone like that."

Kavya smiled weakly.What could she tell about Mani barging when she was naked and she didn't protest even though he was standing in front of her. But she wasn't ready to share her intimate experience with her friend yet. "It's alright Priya.Its been a while since I left my family so I felt alone today" she tried to brush it off.

Priya saw that she wasn't comfortable sharing the details with her so she decided to go to the bathroom to change from her wet clothes from the rain dance. This gave Kavya some time to contemplate whatever happened right before Priya called. Her emotions were running wild. Was it just an accident or was she truly into this man? Why did she just accept his advances? She was naked and he was touching her body which she didn't want anyone to see except her husband, but it made her feel good .

 Had Priya called her five minutes later,they would have done more things she shouldn't have.
Guilt,fear and shame now overwhelmed her. She was horrified thinking that all the things she had done in the last few minutes were just bad. She kept replaying the incidents over and over in her head trying to understand how such an intelligent girl ended up doing such a stupid thing. She realised that lust overpowered her brain which allowed the devil inside her to rule.It has extinguished everything from her upbringing,husband,child etc and replaced them with the carnal pleasures that had to offer.

She is a married woman and a mother. Harshith has only given her love and affection all these days except he has been busy with this startup and child these days. The spark has extinguished but it hasn't died. All she needs is to reignite it. All she needs is a similar resort trip without Nirav and she knows how Harshit would jump on her in no time.

She also needs to tell Mani that he had crossed a few boundaries today and she doesn't want anything like that happening again. She allowed him to praise her beauty and indulge in some harmless flirting with her but she can't let things progress beyond that because it's not appropriate for her as a married person. She wants to be friends with him and let him know that she can never be more than a friend to him.It's so tough for her to tell him after being naked in front of him and hope he doesn't spread this to anyone.Mani needs to understand that she cannot do things beyond what is appropriate for her,it may affect their friendship and it won't be nice if her reputation gets ruined over some innocent fun.
She decided to talk about this discreetly so that their friendship circle doesn't get disrupted. Priya might feel guilty because she was the one who coaxed her into the trip and then realised what happened to her. Maybe after dinner,she might talk to Mani in private so that he won't accidentally tell anyone about this incident.

After Priya got fresh,they just lay down in the large king bed taking rest . At around 7:30 pm,they received a call from the intercom that the dinner was ready. The girls got fresh and went to the dining area. They found that the men were already there and they had opened a bottle of beer and were eating. They also saw that honeymoon couple sitting at a different table and were close to each other. Priya giggled as they reminded her of their initial days but Kavya hardly took notice.

Her eyes met Mani, he tried to smile hoping to break the ice but Kavya gave a glare. He immediately lowered his eyes and kept them on his plate. Things turned awkward between them. The dinner was very subdued mainly because Mani was the usual chatterbox and when he stopped talking, it was only Priya who was leading the conversation. She noticed that neither Mani or Kavya were participating in it but decided to ignore.

After dinner,they noticed that the honeymoon couple went to the tree house and started to enjoy the starry night. They decided to allow them privacy and not disturb them. Priya wanted to stay and talk but Ravish said that they need to do the trekking at early morning 6 am and it's best to sleep since they all had a tiring day with the rafting. The entire gang went back to their rooms. Priya wanted to have one last chat with the boys but Ravish insisted that they all needed sleep as they will start early tomorrow morning.

Even though Priya was very energetic the effects of rowing for three hours showed and the moment she hit the bed she immediately started snoring . Kavya wished she could run by her before informing Mani but now that doesn't seem possible. Maybe she can take some rest and tell him tomorrow.

Despite the fact that she was a bit tired ,she couldn't sleep at all. She wanted to call Harshit but she felt he couldn't do it without clearing this up with Mani first.She would feel guilty of calling her husband after such a dalliance. She closed her eyes and decided to count sheeps to calm her nerves.

At around 10:00 pm she couldn't control it and took the phone and opened whatsapp. She opened to find that there was still no message from Harshit except for reading her last message. She opened Mani's chat and found him online. She wanted to type but then decided not to.

When she kept the phone,she received a notification from whatsapp saying she had received a new message. She immediately opened it to read the message.

"Not slept yet?" It was from Mani, she didn't reply. "Are you awake yet?" It's again from Mani, she ignored.

"Hey we need to talk about what happened today"

Kavya immediately pulled her phone and started typing


Kavya  : “Hey look, whatever that happened was a mistake”
Mani : “A very beautiful mistake”
Kavya  : “Ummmmm we shouldnt have done this and I am sorry”
Mani : “yes we shouldn't have done this but I'm not sorry”
Kavya  : “Please don't say this again”
Mani : “Well how can I ever forget seeing that exquisite thing in my life. Your body was heavenly and it would have been rude to keep my hands off you”
Kavya  : “Oh God!! please don't talk like that”
Mani : “But now, I have no option, I have seen it and my mind is filled with those images of you.”
Kavya  : “Now this is getting awkward”
Mani : “If you don't reply, i won't be able to stop thinking about you all night”
Kavya was actually aroused thinking of Mani imagining her naked. But she is a married woman and she can't entertain this”
Kavya  : “But...remember I'm married and this needs to be between us.This has to end here”
Mani : “I will respect your feelings. You must believe me that I will never say anything to anyone. All I want is to meet you again tonight to give a complete closure. Only if you agree”

Kavya didn't know what to do. Maybe it's for the best. Tell him face to face that she doesn't want any of this and start respecting boundaries. Mani knew from her lack of reply that she was already thinking about meeting so he typed "Treehouse in 10 minutes' ' and she saw his online status disappear.

Kavya was now in two minds if she needs to go to treehouse or deal with it tomorrow!!

[madiha.agarwal]

Kavya was in a dilemma whether to go or not but the guilt of what happened in the evening was eating her and she wanted to let it out to Mani so that he would stop making advances towards her. She looked at her clock and noticed it was 10:30 pm. She looked outside and found it dark. Priya was still snoring. She grabbed the keycard and went to the treehouse.


After navigating through the resort in the late night where almost all the staff had already slept off,she somehow reached the treehouse and climbed the stairs quietly. She knocked on the door. When she got no response, she opened the door and went inside. There was Mani sitting next to the window watching the stars.

"Sorry I'm late," she whispered. She was surprised at how good the treehouse was. It was almost like a small bedroom. It had a bed at one side with a couch on the other and one part of the roof was made of glass giving the view of the sky. The front had a huge window overlooking the river. Whoever designed it has an insane artistic touch. It's a surprise why those honeymoon couples did not stay here to consummate their marriage.

"Didn't expect you to come here." Mani remarked while turning towards her.

"Look Mani,regarding what happened in the evening... "started Kavya.

"No more talking. Let's just move on.." He interrupted. Kavya felt weird hearing that but she sat on the edge of the bed as he gestured for her to sit next to him.

"Look I'm married .."she began again

"I know" Mani said

"I think that..."

"Stop thinking then" interrupted Mani "Whatever happened has happened.We can't go back and change that"
He was right. They cannot change that.She nodded.

"Look I'm ashamed of what happened "she said

'Don't be ashamed, ' he smiled. " There is nothing to be ashamed of .You have such an incredible body and you should be proud of it.I mean,it's too much for a man like me to resist. "

She blushed. This was the reason that made her afraid. Mani has been flirting with her even at the juncture. Then she noticed him staring at her boobs, she realised that she wasn't wearing a bra as she usually takes it off at night after the birth of Nirav. She could feel her nipples getting erect.

"Stop staring at them Mani "she said but her voice seemed to be weak.

"What's wrong? I have seen them before without that t shirt " he laughed

"Just concentrate on what I'm saying. That's what happened before and I'm really embarrassed about it." she tried to justify.

"Look,there are two things out there. One, I should never tell anyone about it and I swear I will not "answer Mani "But the second thing about being embarrassed about it I cannot agree to it. I loved what we did and I think you liked it too.Your body is a work of art and I'm happy that I was able to view it. My erection at that time was perfectly normal which any man would face when looking at a beautiful woman like you"

Kavya stared at him . For a moment she thought of slapping him but she couldn't as she too was aroused by his unabashed praise. He is literally owning up the fact that he had an erection for her.

"However,I do have one regret " he said

"What is it?" she asked

"That I didn't get a chance to see you completely nude " he added.

She stared at him. His eyes were now fixated on her tits.

"But you did ..." She started

"But you were still wearing  panties so I couldn't see the most beautiful part of you" he said smiling mischievously.His hands moved forward and held her t shirt.He lifted her t shirt upwards exposing her chest.The colour rose on her face and she suddenly realised that he wanted to touch her boob.

"Stop it! Don't touch me! Don't you understand I'm married? "she protested.

"Remember Kavya the oath you took in the train that for three days you will not think about your husband and son on this trip and only about enjoying yourself and having fun?.Are you breaking the oath? "he said firmly.

"This is not what I meant when I said about enjoying myself" she protested.

"Look Kavya, I would sometimes message a few women at around 10 pm if I'm bored. You always would answer but I have never seen Priya answer unless her husband is on a business trip or with his friends. Why are you always free to chat during the times other wives are busy?" he teased.

Those words felt like a slap on the face of Kavya. She and Harshit had a fairly active sex life,at least 3 or 4 times a week . But after the birth of Nirav and Harshit joining the startup. They hardly had time, Nirav seemed to have some beacon to immediately cry when they became cosy. In that startup, Harshit had calls almost everyday from 8:00 pm to even up to 2:00 am to serve the onshore clients. Even on days where they had no meetings ,he would get adhoc disturbing Nirav so much that he started sleeping in the guest bedroom. So basically both Kavya and Harshit have no quality time together and it's been a while since they had sex with each other.

"There are nights when you had initiated conversation just to find me busy" laughed Mani "I knew you were bored at that time and desperately needed company. So here you are. Now stop all these protests and enjoy.I'm going to remove that t shirt that are hiding your breasts from my sight"

And with that he ripped off the t-shirt. Kavya shivered with fear and her hands went to cover herself but Mani held them gently. Her body stiffened when he moved his hands and grabbed one of her boobs tightly.He began massaging it softly as she stood silently watching him.

"It's been a long time since I got hold of one such beauty, " he murmured, "I want to squeeze those luscious boobs of yours."

"Please Mani" whimpered Kavya "I'm married"

"Well , Kavya, just because you left the home doesn't mean your husband will die of hunger. He will order from outside. This is so similar to that,I'm giving you what you are hungry for . Your body needs it, your mind craves it and your soul wants it. And I can give it to you" he assured her.

"Mani please...you are being unfair. I can't do this" cried Kavya.

"Don't make excuses Kavya"said Mani "This is similar to the way you fell into the river. Stop thrashing and slowly accept it. Don't worry you will not drown as I will be holding you tight."

Kavya continued to struggle but he continued to play with her boobs roughly
