Chapter 2
Kamala Aunty asks Malai, “How did you like the wine and the cigarette?”
Malai slightly feeling the intoxicating effects of the expensive wine and the cigarette that was offered to her was surprisingly smooth and it added to the effect.
Malai could not help but giggle before replying.
Malai's giggle fills the room, a sound that is both innocent and alluring. Her cheeks are flushed from the wine, and her eyes sparkle with newfound freedom. She takes another sip from her glass, the warmth of the alcohol spreading through her body.
Kamala Aunty's gaze lingers on Malai's bare shoulders, the soft skin glowing in the candlelight. She leans in closer, her voice dropping to a whisper, "You know, my dear, there are other ways to find pleasure, to feel alive."
The air thickens with tension as Malai looks into her landlady's eyes, searching for the meaning behind her words. She feels a strange pull, a yearning that she is never experienced before. Her heart races, and she is torn between the comfort of her marriage vows and the seductive allure of the moment.
Before Malai could realise Kamla Aunty cup her cheeks and plants a kiss on her lips.
Malai's eyes widen in surprise as she feels the warm, soft press of Kamala Aunty's lips against hers. The kiss is gentle at first, a question lingering in the air, but as Malai's body responds, it deepens into something more passionate. Her heart hammers in her chest, and she tastes the wine on the older woman's tongue.
The moment seems to stretch on forever, the sound of their breathing the only thing that breaks the silence. When they finally part, Malai's cheeks are flushed, and her lips are swollen from the kiss. She looks into Kamala Aunty's eyes, which are dark with desire, and she feels a part of her that she never knew existed begin to stir.
The room feels smaller, the air thicker with the scent of the wine and the faint smell of the cigarette's smoke. Malai's thoughts are a whirlwind of confusion and excitement. She is unsure of what to do next, but the connection between them is undeniable.
But Kamla aunty seemed to know what she was doing. She opened up malai's hair bun and she spread her long and dense hair across her shoulder and back. The she removed the folds of her Sari from her chest. Malai’s nipples were protruding her her blouse as she was not wearing a bra. Kamala Aunty said to Malai, “I see the beautician’s advice has worked well on you,” then she looks at Malai, her eyes seem to linger on Malai for a while. The Kamala Aunty says, “Take off your blouse girl… show me your breasts”
Malai's breath catches in her throat as she feels the warmth of Kamala Aunty's hands on her shoulders, guiding her to remove her blouse. She hesitates for a moment, the gravity of the situation weighing on her. But the wine and the allure of the unknown make her bold, and she allows the fabric to slip down her arms, revealing her ample breasts to the flickering candlelight.
Kamala Aunty's eyes widen slightly as she takes in the sight, her own desire evident in the way she licks her lips. "You are a beautiful girl, Malai", she says, "But why do you hide your beauty this way? I have always seen you dressed in conservative clothes; you tie your hair back in a bun? Why? Just why?”
Malai feels a rush of vulnerability as her blouse falls away, her bare skin exposed to the warm air. The candlelight plays across her breasts, the soft curves and dark areolae standing out against her fair skin. She looks down, her cheeks flaming with a mix of embarrassment and arousal.
Kamala Aunty's voice is a gentle caress as she speaks, her eyes never leaving Malai's. She reaches out, her fingertips grazing the soft mounds of flesh, tracing the line of Malai's neck down to her collarbone. "You are a goddess," she whispers, "Why do you hide your beauty from the world?"
The weight of the question lingers in the air, and Malai feels the tension coil tighter within her. She knows that this moment is pivotal, that she stands at a crossroads between the familiar path of her marriage and the seductive allure of this newfound intimacy. Her body seems to have a mind of its own as it leans into the touch, craving more.
Malai's breath catches in her throat as she feels the warmth of Kamala Aunty's hands on her shoulders, guiding her to remove her blouse. She hesitates for a moment, the gravity of the situation weighing on her. Kamala Aunty reaches out, her fingertips tracing the curves of Malai's breasts with a feather-light touch. The sensation sends a shiver down Malai's spine, and she gasps softly, her nipples hardening under the older woman's gaze.
The room is filled with the sound of their combined breathing, the air heavy with anticipation. Malai feels both vulnerable and powerful, her inhibitions slowly peeling away like layers of an onion. The line between friendship and desire blurs as they continue to explore each other's bodies, the warmth of their skin melding together.
They kiss again. This time their tongues twirl for longer.
Malai's skin feels like silk under Kamala Aunty's touch, and she gasps as those knowing fingers trace the curves of her breasts. The older woman's gaze is hungry, and Malai feels a thrill at being the object of such desire. The kiss deepens, and Malai's arms instinctively wrap around her landlady's neck, pulling her closer.
Their kiss becomes more urgent, a dance of tongues and passion that leaves them both breathless. Malai feels the heat between her legs, a yearning she has not felt in so long. The room seems to spin around them as they stand there, locked in an embrace that speaks of more than friendship.
Kamala Aunty's hands move to the back of Malai's sari, deftly untying the knot. The garment falls away, revealing the young woman's nakedness to the candlelight. The beauty of the moment is almost sacred, a testament to the power of desire and the beauty of female connection.
Their bodies pressed together, Malai can feel the older woman's own arousal. Her heart races as she considers the gravity of her actions, the potential consequences of this intimate act with a woman she has come to trust and admire. Yet, the pull is too strong, and she gives in to the passion that has been building within her.
The evening stretches into the night as they explore each other's bodies, each touch and caress a revelation. The line between taboo and liberation blurs, and Malai finds herself lost in a world of sensation that she never knew existed.
Kamala Aunty knows she should not delay. She takes Malai to her bed room and makes her lie down spread eagled. The older woman undresses too and asks, “Did your husband make love to you before he left?”
Malai's body is a canvas of desire, her skin flushed with passion as she lies on the bed, exposed to the hungry gaze of her landlady. The question hangs in the air, and she feels a pang of guilt mingled with the thrill of the situation. She whispers a truthful reply, "No, Aunty, he did not."
Kamala Aunty nods, a knowing smile playing on her lips. She climbs onto the bed, her own body a testament to the beauty that comes with maturity. Her skin is soft, her curves generous, and she moves with the grace of a woman who knows what she wants.
With gentle hands, she explores Malai's body, her touches becoming more insistent as she discovers every inch of her young tenant. Malai's breath hitches as the older woman's mouth trails kisses along her neck, down to her breasts, and finally to the juncture of her thighs. The sensation is overwhelming, and she arches her back, her body responding instinctively to the new and exhilarating pleasure.
Kamala Aunty mischievously smiles and asks Malai, “May I make love to you? I do not have penis but my fingers and tongue will do just fine…. What do you say Malai?”
Malai's pulse races as she considers the offer. The room is a cocoon of candlelight and shadows, the scent of jasmine from the sari that lies discarded on the floor filling her nostrils. She looks into the eyes of the woman who has become both a confidante and a source of newfound passion. The silence stretches, filled with the sound of their ragged breathing.
Finally, she nods, her voice a soft whisper, "Yes, Aunty."
Kamala Aunty's smile widens, and she leans in to kiss Malai again, her hands roaming over the younger woman's body with a new sense of purpose. Her mouth moves down, leaving a trail of kisses along Malai's collarbone and down her chest. Malai gasps as the warmth of her breath reaches her nipples, and then moans as those same lips encircle one, teasing it with gentle suction.
The bed creaks softly as they move together, their bodies entwined in an intimate dance that speaks of passion and need. Malai's hands find their way into Kamala Aunty's hair, pulling her closer as the waves of pleasure crash over her.
Malai's decision to embrace this intimate moment with her landlady opens a door to a world of passion and pleasure she never knew existed. As Kamala Aunty's skilled fingers and tongue work their magic, Malai surrenders to the sensations, her body responding in ways she never thought possible. Her moans become louder, her hips rising to meet each caress, her hands gripping the sheets tightly.
Kamala Aunty is a patient and attentive lover, her years of experience guiding her as she brings Malai to the brink of ecstasy. She whispers sweet nothings in her ear, her breath hot against Malai's neck, urging her to let go of her inhibitions.
Their love making is a beautiful and raw display of feminine power, a testament to the connection that has been building between them. The bedroom is filled with the sounds of their pleasure, the rustling of the bed and their mingled cries echoing through the stillness of the night.
As they reach their climax, Malai feels a sense of liberation that transcends the physical. The walls of her conservative upbringing crumble, and she knows that she can never go back to the way things were before.
The aftermath is a tapestry of tangled limbs and sated sighs. The candles flicker low, casting a warm glow over their intertwined bodies. Malai's thoughts swirl with a mix of euphoria and trepidation. What does this mean for her marriage? For her relationship with Animesh?
But for now, she chooses to revel in the warmth of the moment, the tender kisses that follow, and the gentle caresses that promise more nights of passionate exploration. The world outside their bedroom seems far away, their union a secret shared only by the walls that have witnessed countless whispers of desire.
The immediate consequence of Malai's decision is a profound shift in her understanding of herself and her sexuality. She has crossed a line that can never be uncrossed, and she knows that her life will never be the same. The adventure has just begun, and the path ahead is fraught with both excitement and potential peril.
Kamala Aunty asks, "Malai? May I do it one more time?"
