Part 3
Luck & lust
Sriram was very busy travelling the next few weeks. He would have liked to stay and find more time with Sheela. However, he was very conscientious of his duties. Sheela was less occupied & found herself fondly remembering her time with Sriram. However, she too did not call him. Her mother-in-law was at home all the time. Sheela wanted to be extra careful in not allowing her relationship with Sriram to leak out.
Luckily for Sheela, Bina missed being in the limelight. She began to quickly plan another party. As she issued invitation; Sheela was disappointed. She learnt that Sriram would not attend; being out of station. Luckily, the party had to be shifted as there was a function in one of Bina's close friends house. Sheela had to attend along with Bina.
A new date was planned on the subsequent week. Bina asked Sheela to phone & invite Sriram. She was feeling a bit slighted at how Sriram had dismissed her last invitation. She in fact remarked to Sheela that Sriram seemed uninterested in them. Not wanting to feel insulted again, she asked Sheela to phone Sriram.
Sheela was intrigued and curious. She thought this would be a good opportunity to speak to Sriram. When she phoned; Sriram said he was in a meeting & would call back. Sriram returned Sheela's call after dinner when she was alone in the bedroom. Initially he was disappointed that Sheela's call was only for a family get together & not for a private get away.
He explained to Sheela that he was busy resolving important business problems. He explained that he was abrupt in their morning chat with her like he was with Bina. Sheela said she understood and asked him to join them for the proposed dinner. Sriram seemed in two minds & Sheela sensed his hesitation. Upon asking Sriram said he was keen to meet Sheela, but not with so many people present. Sheela laughed gently and said that they would find time together very soon.
At Sheela's insistence Sriram agreed to attend the dinner. He wanted Sheela to wear a low hip saree with a sleeveless bow cut blouse. He wanted to enjoy her charms, visually at least. Sheela replied that as a lady; it was impossible for her to decide a dress so much in advance. She added that Sriram should not leer at her; lest people may notice.
Finally, she promised Sriram; that whenever they were alone; however, brief the time may be, she would adjust her saree. She would allow Sriram to see at least one breast without being covered by her saree. Sriram was not satisfied. He made her agree to wear a soft bra. He was hopeful of seeing a faint outline of her nipple. Sriram prayed that he may be allowed to tweak her tits when an opportunity arose. Accusing Sriram of being a lecher, Sheela agreed. She asked him to be very discreet and no one should be able to notice them.
Lady luck seemed to shower their desires. Nearer the date of the party, Bina came to Sheela's room. She appeared in a pensive mood. When asked, Bina told Sheela that she had invited Rahul's boss to the party. Rahul's boss was alone as the wife had travelled to visit her parents. Bina wanted to curry favor with the boss & seek a promotion & increment for Rahul.
She informed Sheela that such games were necessary as todays corporate world was a rat race. Upon being asked why Bina was explaining so much, Sheela understood her real purpose. Bina haltingly elaborated that she wanted Sheela to dress in an appealing manner. She wanted both of them to charm the boss. Sheela smiled & agreed that she would take extra special care to dress her best. She pretended that her dress & demeanor will be designed to charm the boss although her true target was Sriram!
The stage was set for a grand party. Sheela had chosen great care in her dress & make up. A ghagra choli, with low waist, was matched with a sheer silk sleeveless blouse cut to display the generous swell of her decolletage and a shawl studded with stars. Eve Rahul's mother thought the dress was a bit bold, but remembered that it was she who had instigated Sheela & hence kept quiet.
Sheela was enjoying herself. She could feel Sriram burn in jealousy whenever she spent time with Rahul's boss. Luckily for Sriram, Rahul's boss seemed to remember that Sriram was a good friend of their company's CEO. He & the CEO were both unaware that Sriram was a major shareholder; pulling the strings behind several layers of holding companies.
Sriram got the full benefit of Sheela's charms, whenever she bent down to serve the boss; but was unhappy at attention being lavished upon somebody else. Sheela was feeling naughty & mischievous & playfully grinned & once even winked at Sriram when no one was looking.
Rahul's boss was making the most of his wife's absence. He was being plied with alcohol by the Bina. Suddenly, to everyone's shock, Rahul's boss lost control & vomited violently. He soiled Sriram's dress and everyone was feeling embarrassed. Rahul's boss immediately apologized profusely to Sriram, phoned his driver & beat a very hasty retreat.
All the guests began to bid good bye & the party came to a sudden halt. Bina mother was embarrassed as she heard another lady comment softly upon her behavior. The guest remarked that it appeared as if Bina was purposely trying to get his boss drunk. Many others seemed to nod in agreement.
Bina had herself been drinking more than her normal. She pleaded a headache & said she was retiring for the night. She asked Sheela to take care of Sriram who was dripping with vomit. All the guests had left & the two lovers were left alone.
