Meena kicked and shut the door of their school quarters as she stepped inside on a very hot and humid afternoon, after school hours along with her colleague Priya, who both were twenty four years old and had joined teaching very recently.
She loosened a bit of her mustard yellow saree as she got inside and started to fan herself with the end of it as the heat had become unbearable due to power cuts.
Priya was clad in her own deep green saree already lying in her cot and she too fanned herself having pulled the edge of her saree.
"I hate these afternoons." Priya said.
Meena dropped her books onto the table as she could feel her blouse clinging tightly to her skin. Priya stretched her arms lazily and as Meena turned, she caught the sight of the dampness on Priya's blouse around her chest and underarms.
"You should freshen up," Meena said.
Priya laughed as she lazily lifted an arm and rested it behind her head, exposing the wet stain under her armpit.
"You too," Priya said.
"You are full of sweat, Meena and you have been keeping it all trapped under your tight blouse," Priya continued.
Meena's cheeks blushed.
"Maybe," she said as she stepped closer.
She reached for the end of Priya's saree and Priya let her pull it aside as Meena could see Priya's blouse was sticking to her chest.
Meena hesitated but raised her own arms, slowly as Priya's eyes followed the movement as she got the view of Meena soaked armpits under her blouse. The musky scene was overwhelming.
Meena saw Priya licking her lips.
"Go on, smell me." Meena said.
Priya hesitated but leaned in and pressed her face into Meena's underarm and the scent was intoxicating. It was a mix of sweat and body musk.
She dragged her nose along and inhaled deeply. Her tongue flicked out, hesitantly but then tasted the raw saltiness of the sweat soaked skin as Meena let out a moan.
"God, Priya" she said as she pressed herself closer.
Priya licked again, slower, moving along the damp hollow of Meena's underarm, while her hands slid down and reached the waistband of Meena's beige petticoat.
"You're soaked everywhere," Priya said.
"You should check how bad it is underneath," said Meena with a giggle.
