Neeta knocked on Manish's bedroom door. He woke upon the fourth knock and said aloud, 'come in, the door's open'
Neeta entered the bedroom and Manish was surprised. 'Anything's the problem, aunty?'
'Yes, honey', she said coming to him, swaying her hips suggestively. 'I just saw a scary movie. I am a little frightened. Can I sleep with you?'
Manish was flabbergasted. Sleeping with his aunt! It was his dream-come true. Though he was worried about his parents, he said, 'sure, you can sleep on this side of the bed.'
Neeta got inside the covers of the bed and sidled up to him. She hugged him. He didn't expect that. He, too, hugged her back. 'My baby', she said. 'When you were young, you slept with me because you were scared. But now, the situation had reversed. It's warm in here, isn't it?'
Saying it, she threw the covers, off.
'So, did you like them?' she asked him.
'Like what?'
'My hips and waist. You were rubbing them, while we were watching the TV set.' Manish smiled at her. He wasn't the one to be modest and withdrawing, when a lady was coming on to him. 'Yes, they were milky smooth. I love that sensation.'
'Oh, do you?' saying that, she lay on him, so that her sleeveless blouse covered breasts were directly on his chest. He loved what he was feeling. There was no doubt about anything, now. His aunt was showing that she lusted after him. He kissed her on the cheek and said, 'aunty, is it fine? What we are doing? I mean, did you have any fight with Shyam uncle.'
She smiled at the care in his eyes and said, squirming on his chest, 'you care for me, more than my brother. You are all love, aren't you, honey? No, it's not about Shyam. It's about you, baby.'
Just then, her phone rang and it was Shyam. 'Just speak of the devil', she muttered. 'I put the phone on airplane mode all this time, and the instant I turn it on.....' she said smiling to herself. She picked up the call. 'Hi honey', she said sliding up to Manish.
Shyam had been trying in vain all this time. He would have easily made a hundred calls to her, but the mobile was switched off. Though it disturbed him, it also evoked in a jealous pleasure. It showed that she didn't want to be disturbed, when she was going to meet her nephew, whom she admired so brazenly before him. She, never, hid anything from him and this independent and free nature of hers was killing him.
He said, 'hi baby, I have been ringing you up since morning, probably a hundred times.'
Neeta kissed on Manish's neck, as she rubbed her breasts on the side of his chest. 'What's happened, darling?'
'Just wanted to say I love you.'
'Hhhhmmmm', she moaned and he clearly heard that she was moaning. Manish was getting tense that his aunt was showing signs of having sex, while on the phone with her hubby.
'What are you doing?' Shyam asked her.
'What is it, Shyam?' she asked exasperated.
'Are you in bed?'
'Yes, I am.'
Shyam smiled to himself, probably she was masturbating. 'Are you masturbating?'
'Yes, I am.'
'Shall I help you?' he asked her, with a smile. She knew how to tease him. 'No, shall I ask for Manish's help?'
Manish threw his eyes open in fright, while she smiled. Shyam's eyes, too, shot out. He wanted to cry but for some strange reason, he was feeling breathlessness, yet he was exhilarated. He was silent.
'Are you there?' Neeta asked, hearing nothing. Thinking the line went out, she cut the call. Again, she hugged her nephew. Manish stiffened. He asked again, 'aunty, did you have a quarrel with your husband?'
'No, Manish, I did not.' She opened his shirt buttons slowly as the call came again.
'Neeta, are you there?'
'Yes, I am here, Shyam. What is it?' Neeta cried into the phone, as she continued taking off her nephew's buttons.
'Where are you?'
Neeta considered for a moment and then with a sly smile said, 'I am here in Manish's room'
'What????' Shyam's head did somersaults or that's how he felt on hearing his wife. But more than that, he was excited beyond words. He didn't know what to say to her. He loved his wife more than anything. He knew that she wouldn't do anything to hurt him. But what was she doing now? It was hurting him. But at the same time, it was also exciting him. Neeta, too, knew that she should be honest with her husband. She couldn't do anything like this behind her husband's back. She didn't know but Manish made her lose all her control, propriety and every other basic human courtesy. Just one look at him unleashed sexual passions in her. If she had to deal with this, she felt, she had to be open with everyone involved.
Manish, on the other hand, was afraid. He didn't want to disrupt his aunt's marriage. She was the best friend, he had. She loved him more than anything. He didn't want to hurt anyone, who loved her. Her lovely killer body was there for him to take, but he can't, while there was a family turmoil on.
'You heard it right, Shyam. Didn't we talk in the car?'
'Is this a joke?'
'No, it isn't. Talk to your nephew. Manish, please....' saying that, she handed the phone to Manish. Manish was bewildered. He didn't know what to do. He shook his head, as though he wouldn't take the call. But at the last second, he took it.
'Hello'
Shyam didn't know what to say. Did she tell him what they had talked in the morning? He can't rebuke him if he knew what they had discussed. He just wanted to talk as though nothing occurred. 'Hi, Manish, how are you?'
Manish was surprised. He thought his uncle would be pissed off by him, for having a romp with his wife. But he was talking, as though everything was normal place.
'Hi, uncle, I am fine. What about you?'
Neeta undid all his buttons and ran her small hands over his broad shoulders and chest. She nuzzled into his chest, as though she was savouring every moment of pleasure. Manish didn't know what to make of it. Are they having a sort of understanding about these things? He warmed up in her embrace. He felt like a fresh lease of life had been poured into him. It was not his fault. He liked both of them and he wouldn't hurt them. But, when they were forcing upon them their scheme, who was he to deny? Along with that, he liked his aunt in every way. He liked to have a romp with her since a long time, though he chastised himself every time he thought of it.
