You never know, what surprises and changes, that life holds for you in the future. I was brought up as a complete puritan and had very middle-class dreams. In my values driven family I was conditioned to believe and taught that premarital sex is taboo! What I didn't know then, was that in future, probably nothing would be taboo!!
Today I wonder, how my life transformed so much over the years. After tasting and loving the different flavours of the forbidden fruit, at times I regret the late start of my real sex-life. How I wish that the perversities and depravities, that enjoyably became part of my everyday sex-life, at the behest of none other than my cuckold husband Shantanu, had started earlier.
I love my life and the lovely people who have given me so much sexual pleasure and freedom, without losing respect for me. It's been an immersive experience and the walk away from customs, traditions and boundaries has been extremely satisfying and liberating.
It's my misfortune that I took such a long time to understand that, 'Sex' is not dirty, it is lovely because it's part of loving and accepting someone as 'Special'. Sex for me has been such an ocean, that the deeper I dived into it, the easier I could breathe.
It's been so beautiful that I want to capture every moment and memory that I have lived in as much detail as possible. With this series I want to recreate and re-live my journey.
Well, let me just begin from the beginning!
In this story I am Jyoti, though that's not my real name but as the situation demands, I cannot take the risk of anyone identifying me with it, I have, therefore changed the names of people and places. The names used in my story are fictitious, as I need to conceal and protect the identity of people involved.
I was then 18 years old and living with my father. My life was extremely difficult and we were in a bad situation because my mother's illness prior to her eventually passing away, had financially devastated us already.
We had to kill our materialistic wishes, if any, on a daily basis. I had to learn to take care of the house and assume other responsibilities at that early age.
The stress level in our lives was so high that the thoughts of sex didn't even cross my mind at that time. I wasn't ignorant about sex but completely lacked the atmosphere and environment required for those erotic thoughts and their play in actual life.
Most of my classmates had already stepped into 'adulthood' and were all indulging, enjoying & even openly discussing their sex-life, whereas I was focused on managing our scattered lives.
My friends were happy to share spicy details of their sexual exploits but I didn't feel envious or jealous of them, because I managed to justify my position by thinking that I was standing on a high moral ground and wanted to save myself for the right man.
Our world turned upside down when my dad was suddenly diagnosed with cancer. The surgery and the treatment afterwards was very painful and long drawn. The purposeless treatment also completely broke and finished us financially.
When dad passed away I was just one week away from my 19th birthday, I didn't have any assurance, even of a shelter because, I practically had no money to pay even the rent and didn't know what to do with my life going forward.
I had to drop out of my studies and started looking for a job. I knew that with my qualifications, it was going to be extremely difficult to find a respectable job but then one of my teachers who was very kind and knew about my situation and capabilities, thankfully suggested that I go and meet one of his ex-students.
That's when and how I met Shantanu, he was then 24 years old and running a start-up, he was known for his brilliance and sharp business acumen. I was scared to face him and was almost sure that going for meeting him would be a waste of time because there wasn't even a remote possibility that he would accept me.
However contrary to my expectations he was very kind and nice, he probably had been told about my situation beforehand and therefore didn't ask me much in the interview.
Shantanu just told me that it was a very fluid situation in their business and there weren't any predefined roles, so I too would have to help the team with whenever I can, as there were very few people and lots to do.
The team had far more qualified and polished people and I wondered, if and how I could fit into the place. I had no choice at that moment but to accept whatever was offered to me. I was mentally prepared to do the 'donkey's work'.
Everyone in the team loved Shantanu, especially the girls and I couldn't be an exception in this regard. Very soon I also found myself to be attracted to him, however I also realistically knew that I had no chance with him because there were other girls who with their expensive and sexy appearance looked far more impressive.
I on the other hand didn't have enough money, even for my survival. The salary offered to me was just sufficient for me to pay rent of the room that I had moved into and yet, having no choice, I took the job, not knowing as to how would I manage my other requirements.
In the initial days, not just others, but even I myself also felt as if I had been obliged and shown pity upon, or may be it was my beauty that got me the job, people in-fact doubted Shantanu's intentions for employing me.
I didn't have the requisite educational background but didn't lack common sense and that helped me immensely and as the days progressed, with the display of my competence and out-of-box thinking, I gained acceptance and eventually even some respect from the team.
Shantanu was very happy because I had not let him down. I too felt proud when other colleagues gave up their discriminatory approach and not only started treating me as an equal but on occasions even sought my advice. I had arrived and now, also had a seat at the table!!
Workload increased but not my income, I was living on a shoe-string budget, avoiding all unnecessary expenses and wherever possible even some necessary ones too, but there were some things that one couldn't avoid completely.
Things reached a point where I even saw myself as a whore in my nightmarish dreams. The cash crunch was sort of killing me and it appeared that my only option was to encash the only asset that I had, my body.
I was still a virgin and had always treated my body like a temple, but the only advantageous part of that based on my filmy plans, was that I as a whore, would get a higher price for being a virgin.
