As the new year began, Priya and I started to hang out at work as well. She found herself becoming increasingly familiar with the office building layout. I worked on the 11th floor of the east wing, while Priya worked on the 3rd floor of the west wing. Our secret meets during work hours took place in various office pantries on different floors, and sometimes even in different sections of the building.
Initially, I was unaware that these meets were intended to be kept a secret. It gradually dawned on me that Priya may have been carefully selecting the farthest pantry from her workplace to avoid being seen with me. I couldn't help but admire her resourcefulness. She was meticulous with her approach. Was Priya truly a brilliant mastermind, or was she simply trying to keep our rendezvous discreet?
As I pondered the potential reasons for our meets being secretive, my thoughts questioned my appearance. Was I so ugly that Priya felt the need to avoid being seen with me? I laughed and quickly dismissed the idea, realizing that now was not the time to beat up my self-esteem.
The most obvious explanation for our secretive meetings soon became apparent to me: Priya was married and did not want to be seen with me. Simple. This realization was quickly followed by another thought. I was now the "other guy," the one who was starting a secret affair with a married woman.
Despite the moral dilemma that this presented, I remained unmoved and failed to examine my own ethical or moral stance on the matter. Horniness prevailed!
As our conversations intensified, we went from talking about our sexual desires to coming up with a concrete plan to bring those fantasies to life. With a growing sense of anticipation, we discussed the various actions and scenarios that would fulfill our deepest darkest desires, exploring every possibility in graphic detail.
Our excitement grew each day as we contemplated the carnal pleasures that awaited us. Or rather Priya was the one coming up with all the execution plans and I just nodded my head in agreement.
On the subject of sharing our fantasies with each other, one evening during our phone conversation, we landed on the topic of attire.
"What gets you going? How do you like your gift wrapped?" Priya asked amusingly.
"Gift wrap?" I questioned innocently.
Priya explained "What would you like to see me in?" with satire in her tone.
I immediately yelled "Saree!" as if I were trying to win a million dollars by giving the correct response to a question. "Particularly a South Indian saree with all the bling", I added.
"Really? Oh, my god?" Priya burst into laughter and asked, "So typical! Was your childhood filled with aunties in Sarees?".
Me: I sheepishly said "Yes".
Priya: "That explains a lot!" as she continued laughing.
Priya: "What else? What else makes your tiny soldier stand up and salute?"
Me: "Tiny? It's big! And in your tiny hands my cock will look like a python" I jokingly rebutted.
Priya: "Ahaa good one!" agreeing to that.
Priya asked me again laughing "What else? What other childhood memory of yours has turned into a fetish?"
I thought for a second and said "Boob milk"
Priya clarified "As in, breast milk? As in, lactation?", I said "Yes"
Priya: "Please elaborate my dear sire!" said mockingly
With a giggle, I said, "I want to drink boobie milk directly from the source or maybe fuck when drinking boobie milk directly from the source".
Priya: "Okay, that is definitely interesting! Unfortunately, I shall not be able to fulfill that. Lactation happens post-pregnancy generally and the medication used to induce lactation has a lot of other sides that I cannot deal with. Fucks with your hormones a lot. So no go boss!"
And I replied with a confused "Okaay". Wait! Was she enquiring about my fetishes to list them, tick them off one by one from the list? What was happening?
Our conversation touched a few other fetishes of mine. But Priya had not made her fetishes clear. When Priya's turn came to share her dark desires, she just gave me really mundane ones which honestly sounded like default answers. I was determined to chase her fetishes. If this lady was going to go after my desires, it's only fair that I go after hers.
Anyways, the moral of the story was that I was able to overcome my insecurities and share my deepest, darkest desire with Priya in a way that made her laugh without judging me, and it was a liberating experience.
Our conversation arrived at its natural end for the evening. I also had to cut short our talk, although I never would have wanted it to end. I had to go meet a few friends from college at a popular pub in South Bangalore.
The pub had a warm and inviting ambiance, and the wooden interiors and cozy seating arrangements added to the charm of the place, making it a perfect spot to relax and unwind with friends or colleagues. To be honest, my thoughts weren't even remotely related to the party I was at.
I found myself zoning out every few minutes, lost in my world, thinking about Priya. Interactions from the past few weeks played like a movie in my mind, and I couldn't help but contemplate the different ways our future might unfold. The noise and chatter around me faded into the background as I got lost in my thoughts, unable to shake off Priya's appearance in different stages of nakedness.
The next morning, the sound of my phone buzzing on the bedside table jolted me awake, grimly realized that I had indulged a little too much at the party last night. My head throbbed with a slight hangover, but curiosity got the best of me, and I reached for my phone to check the message. It was from Priya, bleary-eyed and disoriented, I saw the text
Priya: "I'll be at SLV around 9:30"
And I ignored the text, intent on getting some much-needed rest. And thinking - Yay! Priya gets to have an amazing breakfast.
For anyone curious to know, SLV is a very popular breakfast place in Bangalore and each area has an eatery with the same name.
The phone bussed again. However, my curiosity soon got the better of me, and I picked up my phone to read the text as I read her words, a smile crept across my face.
The text said: "In your area"
When I got the text, I was like, okay cool, but what does that even mean? But then it hit me - she's trying to let me know she's nearby so we can hang out! I mean, Priya's message was a bit confusing, she could have just said "Let's meet at SLV" or straight-up asked me to meet her. Suddenly, I was wide awake, and the pounding headache was forgotten, as the excitement of meeting Priya filled me with a rush of adrenaline.
I quickly replied: "Cool, see you there."
It was 9:15 AM when I glanced at the time, so I quickly showered, changed, and made the decision to walk to SLV as it was close enough to my home to do so. As I got there, I searched around for Priya and pulled out my phone to call her when I realized that I had just received a text from her saying, "I have company," five minutes earlier. Company? I questioned my reasoning. She's here with someone? I still could not find her anywhere.
I quickly approached the counter, paid, and quickly took the food, and searched for Priya.
As I scanned the crowd, our eyes met, she smiled, and my heart skipped a beat! And there she was, standing in the midst of the bustling crowd, looking like a goddess in her traditional South Indian saree. Priya's saree was a vibrant shade of parrot green that seemed to illuminate her already radiant complexion.
