Most marriage has the benefit of getting sex regularly at least, even if the marriage is not working well. Humans need it and husband and wife take each other for granted in bed a lot of times.
I broke my marriage, an abusive one, and thought I will be happy forever. I guess I was a little wrong when it comes to intimacy and I had never thought about that. This is Sangeetha, a 45 year old single mom, living happily now for sure. This incident is at the time when I had gotten my divorce and was about a month or so. Almost 9 years ago.
Always been on the higher side of the sex drive, now I was handling myself with my own fingers. Days I never thought I would go through being a woman in India. Insecurity, fear, not wanting another relationship, many reasons why I probably was trying to stay away from men during that period.
On one such day, after my work, I was sitting in a pub. Dressed in my jeans and a black tee, my hair left open, sitting on that high stool at the bar counter, sipping on favorite drink. I guess tiredness was written all over my face since the bar tender asked me if I had a tough day at work. The regular guy who makes my drink whenever I visit. Gives company with chit chat too when he is free. I was sitting staring into the blankness with my vision towards the dance floor might be. A little tipsy because of the tiredness, frustration and yes, I was on my 3rd drink.
I heard a deep voice talking to me "hello, seems you are interested in a dance without any company". I turned to see a man, might be in this late 20's or early 30's. Clean shaved, neatly trimmed hair, tall for sure and could make out the well toned physique. He was dressed in a black tee and jeans too. He was holding the same drink I was having. At least that's what I thought since it looked similar. I was not friendly but was polite when I asked "Excuse me, do I know you?" trying to probably avoid him. He seemed not to be shaken with that. He continued with his deep voice "we seem to have similar tastes and I assume you are also alone like me. So thought would say a hi".
Our human mind is full of surprises at times. I did realize our tastes did match in our dressing, grooming and even the drink. That was the moment when your mind instantly likes or dislikes someone and my mind I guess liked him. I smiled "sure, yes I am alone too" as I showed my eyes to him asking him to sit on the next stool. He sat really happy raised a toast with our drinks. "Dance with me if you are ok?" was his next question. I thought for a moment and not sure why, I got off the stool, gulping my drink at one go with a "sure, why not" to him. He followed suit finishing his drink and we hit the dance floor.
We spent a good 30 to 45 minutes dancing. Grooving, swaying, shaking for the music. He had his hands a bit all over me for sure, but I ignored it as dance moves and did not worry much. Finally, both of us were panting for breath, sweating profusely and we decided to move out of the dance floor. Somewhere we felt a bond, a connect that I sat down for a few minutes to rest and I did not mind talking to him and laughing at some silly jokes, etc. Then I decided to leave. He also said he was leaving and we walked together out of the pub. The pub was at the basement of a good hotel. As we walked out, he said he is going to his room since he is put up in the same hotel. And that I can go to his room too, if I am comfortable, to freshen up and might be have another drink and then leave.
His voice, his tall structure, his polite behavior and the positive attitude could not be resisted. He sure was intimidating me, probably. He sure was younger than me, but, was much more mature I felt. Walking out from the cold airconditioned pub to the warm outside made me sweaty again and I agreed to go with him. As we walked into the hotel, across the almost empty lobby and to the elevator. As the door opened he bowed signalling me to go in and he followed me. He stood next to me as we went up the elevator, not saying a word. And as the doors opened, we stepped out and walked across the corridor to his room where he swiped his card opening the door. He patted my butt asking me to go inside and surprisingly I did not react.
The lights came on as I placed my bag on the bed, looking around the spacious room. Must be costing a bombshell I thought to myself, as I placed myself on the sofa, when I saw him busy taking off his tee. He was wearing a vest inside. He threw a towel and a bathrobe at me playfully. "Dont sit there watching me change, you might want to go and freshen up" he laughed. I also laughed, not sure why again. Got up with the towel and the bathrobe "why the bathrobe? just the towel would do" I was trying to be assertive. "To freshen up with your tee and jeans can surely get them wet and you would not want to go out like that again, do you?" he asked as he picked another towel for himself and a pair of shorts.
It probably was not very convincing, but I was convinced, nodding my head I stepped into the bathroom. Latching the door behind, i stripped out of the jeans and tee and stepped into the bathrobe only in my bra and panties. Made sure to tie it up well and freshen up. I left my jeans and tee inside the bathroom and stepped out, with the robe exposing my bare legs below my knee. He had changed into his shorts and his vest and was on a phone call. Some business talk. I walked to the sofa and sat down again making sure I am covered well. Once done with the call, he looked at me, smiled and went in to freshen up and was out in 5 minutes. "So, what would the lady prefer to drink?" he asked as he picked up the bottle from the cupboard. Not waiting for my response, he started pouring 2 glasses, yes, the same drink we had down at the pub.
We raised a toast again and this was 4th drink. Not sure if I really should have it, but I started sipping. We were chit chatting again on the pub and the crowd with a few silly jokes, etc. I was done with my drink. Leaving the glass on the table I got up "thanks for the hospitality, guess I will leave now before its too late" as I started walking to the bathroom to change back. He tried to stop me from where he was sitting by holding my hand and pulling me. But I raised my hand to avoid him holding it and it happened so simultaneously and quickly that he held the robe and pulled it by mistake.
