"A...Akash," I said, still a little out of breath. I was more startled at seeing him there than anything I guess, but he'd definitely taken his shower a lot quicker that I'd expected. Or maybe it was my sense of time that had become warped, engrossed as I had been in seeing the spectacle next door.
"Varsha," he said. A statement of fact, no inflection at all. "Where'd you go?"
"I...um...I was just outside—"
"You've been smoking." Not a question, just a simple statement of fact, delivered with a 'gotcha' tone. He must have smelled the smoke on my breath even though we were a few feet apart.
I hung my head. There was nothing to say. I'd forgotten to chew a couple of breath mints I'd found masked the smell best, again probably due to my agitated state. We had been trying to quit smoking, Akash and I, and it had been a few days since I'd smoked my last one. But smoking is hard to give up. Otherwise why would the guy—Shaw or someone, maybe Mark Twain—have said something to the effect that giving up smoking was easy, he'd done it thousands of times? Or maybe he'd said it about drinking. Whatever.
"You fucking bitch," my husband now said in a low tone. Again, it was delivered as a statement of fact.
"You don't know what happened," I started to say, but he cut me off with raised eyebrows and a warning finger. I wanted to tell him all about what I'd just witnessed, trying clearly to deflect from the fact that I'd been cheating on our mutual 'no smoking' pact. I opened my mouth like one of the goldfish in the aquarium, but his raised finger stopped me again.
"You cunt," he said, the very soul of calm. He looked fresh, having just showered, wearing a clean t-shirt and sweatpants, smelling of Old Spice deodorant, hair slicked back. I raised my eyes to take him in. So, I thought, it's going to start now.
We have a little game we play sometimes. I guess there is a submissive deep within me, and sometimes we role-play. Akashi will take a dominant tone with me, and if I am game, I will play along. Usually it lasts for an hour or so worth of kinky sex games. There is of course, an unspoken agreement that at no point will any barrier the other is unwilling to cross be breached. So far, he'd always been the dom, and me the sub, but we had briefly discussed a role reversal at some future, unspecified point.
I quickly glanced at the clock, 8 pm. Tomorrow was Saturday, no work. We could have some fun. I hung my head and said, "Sorry Sir." Just like I would have when called to the principal's office in school. The only difference was that I was 25, not 14. Well, there was one other difference; my panties were wet. Soaking wet. Partly from the anticipation of fun and games, but also from what I had just seen.
I tried one more time. "I just saw something bizarre at the neighbor's," I said, in a normal tone, coming out of character for a second.
Akash frowned. "If you're trying to get out of punishment you cunt," he said, "you'll be sorry."
"No, really...something weird going on there," I said, not specifying what exactly it was that I'd seen. The mental image of the woman getting fucked at both ends, enjoying it I thought, if I could surmise from the grin she gave me in the mirror was turning me on like nothing else had. Or maybe it had been a grimace of pain? Sometimes, I reasoned, they are the same.
"Cunt," he said, "show me." His tone remained calm, and for some reason it was even more exciting than if he had shouted.
I turned and we walked out into the garage and I took my jacket off the hook. Akash did likewise. I saw him slipping something into his pocket out of the corner of my eye.
"Wait," he said as I was about to shrug into the coat.
I looked at him, a question in my eye. What?
"Strip," he said.
I started to protest but stopped when I saw his face. He had his, 'you'd better do it and do it now, or else' look on, and while I knew I could stop the play acting at any time, I decided to comply. After all, I had said the magic words. I said them again.
"Yes Sir." I started to strip. Nothing slow or sexy about it. The motion activated garage light had gone out and the only light was from the kitchen shining through the glass of the garage door. Lots of shadow, little light.
I undid the button on my jeans and unzipped for the second time in ten minutes and pulled them off. The garage was not heated, but nor was it as cold as the outside, but despite that, goose pimples broke out all over my legs. I pulled off my panties that were soaked by now and tossed them on top of the jeans. Akash's eyes did not miss the large wet spot on the light colored cotton underwear. I did have sexy lingerie—like from Victoria's Secret and all—but for routine wear, I preferred no frills cotton. Maybe a little heart or bow stitched on the front.
"It's cold Sir," I said in a little girl voice.
Akash said nothing.
I continued with the disrobing, pulling off the light sweatshirt I always wore indoors and then the t-shirt. As usual the shirt snagged on my rather large tits and I had my usual moment of pulling-at-them-while-blinded, torso wriggling act. I's sure Akash enjoyed it. He'd told me so many times before. Finally the shirt was off and I unsnapped the bra. Even though they're large—36 D—they don't sag a lot. Not yet anyway. Yeah, I know. I'm not exaggerating my boob size just because I'm telling you my story; it is a fact. Rather, they're a fact. A couple of facts? I'd been embarrassed about my tits for a long time before I met Akash in engineering college in Bombay. He'd made me feel good about them, calling them the best set of tits he'd ever seen, large but not too big. I guess he should know, he plays with them a lot.
I stood there, naked, awaiting his next command. I hoped he wouldn't make me walk outside like this, but I was not sure. He stepped behind me and cupped my tits with both hands, weighing them, caressing them. He pulled at the hard nipples with a little more force that I expected and a gasp escaped me. Not OK. I was supposed to be submitting and take whatever he dished out. Punishment was instant. He pinched my right nipple, really hard and a half-moan, half-cry escaped my lips. He did it again, but this time I was expecting it and was able to stay quiet.
