"Yes Sirs, it's mutual and he knows about it," my 35 years old wife, Seema, and mother of our two children, was heard assuring the three members of the board that sat to decide whether I could be considered for employment.
The board members still looked puzzled though I could watch their glances licking the body of Seema with unbridled lust. Seema was employed with a pan-Asian cargo company. She introduced me to the board members. Sitting at the middle was Vivek Rastogi, the chief general manager, responsible for business of the company in India. He looked to be around forty years, handsome and slim. On his right sat, Mr. Suleman, second in official hierarchy after Vivek. Suleman appeared to be in his early thirties. On Vivek's right sat Mr. Somany, who appeared to be in his late forties. Somany was short and slightly fat with thinning hair lines. He was the HR head of the company in India.
As Seema introduced them, I nodded humbly and we shook our hands. I and Seema were seated opposite to them. The interview was originally fixed at their office in the evening. But later, it was shifted to the farm house at the outskirts of the city. For appearing in the special interview in the evening we had to take our two kids to the house of Seema's cousin in the adjacent town and requested them to keep our kids in their custody till our return. It was good that the schools had not reopened after the Covid lock down otherwise the kids could not have been kept at the house of Seema's cousin. Still her cousin and her husband were curious what urgency we had to go out just within two months after the lock down restrictions were gradually being eased. We couldn't share the grim facts with anyone. It was a Saturday and we bluffed her cousin and her husband about some health issues for which Seema needed to consult a specialist.
Just at the onset of Covid in India, the company in which I worked closed its business in this country. Many like me were out of jobs. Seema's company also suffered huge set back but they allowed her to work from home on three-fourth of the actual salary. It helped us to survive during those days.
But after the lock down rules were getting eased, the companies were facing the economic backlash. Many employees working with Seema were bade good bye. Seema was also given the notice. We were unable to find a way to survive with our two kids. Desperate at the hard reality, Seema met Vivek telling him about my jobless life since one year and other problems.
As Seema told me, Vivek surveyed her for quite sometime making her feel uncomfortable and enquired details about me and our children and then he complimented, "You don't seem to be mother of two kids. You have a great well maintained figure."
Seema thanked her top boss. But somewhere her sixth sense alerted her about something unusual. Vivek said to her apologetically, "The company doesn't need accounts officers any more as we have brought a software to take care of all financial matters. But I appreciate your problems. If you don't mind, may I suggest something? You need not necessarily agree to my suggestion and can reject it outright or discuss with your husband and then decide..."
Seema felt something ominous and her heart was pounding rapidly as she looked questioningly at Vivek. Mr. Rastogi looked at her eyes directly and said, "Why don't you work as a Liaison officer of our company? You will have to liaise with various parties, play a bit of a receptionist. You will have a hike in salary also along with perks. Only problem is you might need to work anytime of the day. Discuss at home with your husband and let me know. In case he has no problem in your job, we could accommodate him in some post also. All that you and your husband will need is open minded attitude, not to be puritans and a bit of compromise in personal lives."
Seema blushed and was angry but didn't show it. She came out thanking Vivek. When she was at home her eyes were red and she was crying. In a very smart and gentle way, Vivek had made her understand what he actually suggested.
That night when kids were asleep, Seema told me everything. Her voice was breaking down in tears quite often and she finally said, "If we had other options I would have thrown my shoes at Vivek's face."
I kissed Seema to pacify her and to cool her down. Later as we were making love, I said to her, "We fantasize a lot about you cuckolding me or enjoying with someone other than me. But when it came in reality we got offended."
Seema was enjoying as I played with her nipples. She immediately reacted, "What do you mean? We do fantasize a lot in the privacy of our bedroom. That doesn't mean I want to be really with someone else or to be unfaithful to you."
I said to her, " I know that. I was just trying to say that the fantasy that we do enjoy in the privacy of our bedroom, hurts us in real life."
"Somewhere a borderline must be there between fantasy and reality," emphatically said Seema, "I am just thinking how to give him a fitting reply to his indecent proposal."
"Have patience, honey," I said to my wife while licking her pink thin lips, "He had not said anything explicitly to prove that he gave an indecent proposal. He offered you an alternative post to retain your job. Whatever might be in his mind, you can't prove it from his words. Rather everyone would call him a sympathetic boss."
"I know it," Seema replied, "But I know what he meant and I knew his glances. A woman understands the motives of words and glances better. What is bothering me is your cool attitude. I expected you to shout at me angrily and ask me to resign."
I moved my palms lovingly on her smooth cheeks, kissed on her forehead and smiled grimly, "The situation is such that I can't ask you to resign. For months I am jobless and you know how it is depressing me everyday. If you too lose your job we will starve with our kids..."
I almost cried at the end and could not complete my sentence. We were in the process of love making and were warming up ourselves in foreplay. Both me and Seema were in our birthday suits, my member was throbbing and hard at the prospect of getting inside its most desired spot. Seema was also ready to receive my throbbing meat lovingly. But the mood was set off. I lost my hardness as my voice broke reminding our helpless situation. Seema also noticed it and started regretting to have brought the issue at the wrong moment. But she was more daring and optimistic and assured me, "Don't break down like this. We will tide over the crisis. I know you will get a job."
Seema smiled naughtily and continued, "Right now your job is to make love to me and make me long for more of you inside me. There is nothing like that to be one with you."
She moved slightly and caught my half erect phallus giving mild strokes and said, "Who hurt my favourite toy? I will not spare one who makes my toy suffer."
