Rakesh had been known to my husband for years before our marriage, in fact when I came as a newly wed bride, he had welcomed us and had helped me set up home in the building where we all lived. He was in the habit of dropping in some evenings and staying over for dinner as he was divorced and lived as a bachelor. This closeness through the years between us had been on a very innocent level and Rakesh has always been a gentleman. Once in a while I would catch him staring at my breasts or legs, but I always felt that was normal behavior for a man.
In this recent year however something had changed a bit. Our relationship had subtly changed. Maybe I was giving out some king of signal as my sex life wasn't quite what I would like. My husband and I still had good sex, but over the years it had gotten a bit stale. He was also not been caring at times when it came to my needs, occasionally leaving me high and dry after his orgasm.
Over the last year, Rakesh and I had been flirting a bit – there were some innocent hugs and pecks on the lips but nothing more. We had seen each other a lot at the lakeside boat house in bathing suits and a couple of times accidentally partially nude. Once he caught me changing and I was in my bra & panties and once I caught him in his briefs, with his back turned. Along with this we had seen each other many times in pj's so we were quite comfortable with each other.
One night we met for drinks. It was supposed to be a bunch of friend's but instead because of schedules it ended up just us three. It was a Mumbai club full of yuppies. We sat and stood at the bar and talked and at some point the conversation turned to sex. Whether it was my comfort levels with him or the drinks I had consumed, the conversation became very open and honest. We talked about a bunch of very personal things that surprised my husband. Things like whether we liked oral sex, whether I swallowed, even whether I had vaginal orgasms. We talked about sexy lingerie, and then the killer when I said my "husband and I don't have nearly enough sex!" This was said luckily when he went to the bathroom otherwise he would have felt very bad.
The night continued and we even danced a bit. Our conversation had taken its toll on us as Rakesh and I were much more touchier then normal. Whether it was just standing a little too close in the crowded bar knowing my butt was up against him or dancing it seemed we were always touching lightly. During one dance he had practically placed his hand on my butt. The night ended and we parted as friends due with a warm hug.
Both of us however from that point on seemed to join a tighter bond with each other and there was a sexual tension that had never been there before. Whether it was the innocent touches or the frank sexual discussion I didn't know.
A few weeks later we accidentally met at the Inorbit mall – one of Mumbai's largest malls. I had gone to pick up some clothes after work and he was also shopping. I was enjoying the quiet of a cup of coffee at the Nandoo's outlet when I saw Rakesh. He sat down got coffee and we chatted. After some innocent chatter I mentioned I needed to shop, he offered to walk with me since he also had to shop. As we walked we chatted a bit but nothing sexual.
Then we entered a the Nike store as I needed to get some sneakers. As I sat down, I didn't realize it at the time but Rakesh was sitting directly across from me. As I tried on a couple of pairs I realized he was gazing at my legs as they parted. Now I was feeling a little horny and I decided to lead him on a bit. His view wasn't probably all that good as the skirt I was wearing wasn't that short but I made sure my legs spread apart each time I tried on a pair and flashed him a few times before settling on a pair.
We left the store and walked around looking for another store. As we walked I thought about teasing him a little more It felt pretty comfortable teasing him in a place like this where there were lot of people waking around and no one knew us.
The next store was Westside, I was looking for some track suits to wear to the gym and he were looking for jeans. We picked out a few sizes each and headed towards the changing rooms. The salesgirl gave us two rooms next to each other and as I went in, I told Rakesh that I wanted his opinion on what I was buying.
