The morning light slipped through thin curtains, the soft golden glow like fresh tea spilling over the edges of a cup. Something fresh in the ambience. I felt a quiet hush in my mind after a storm. There was no clutter, no rush in my mind.
All I needed to write was a new chapter in my story, as I wished. My unfinished business with Sam seemed within my grasp. Confident, no confusion.
I sat on the edge of her bed. I dragged the blanket along with me and exposed Leena’s nakedness. Like an empty body-sushi, she was lying on her back. Her long, thick thighs lay parted and relaxed. There she was, still flushed and open from everything I had done. Her pink folds swelled, soft. A faint slick glisten caught the light, like morning dew.
I still felt her taste from last night on my tongue. I could not look away.
“Maya. Don’t stare at me like that.” Leena woke up.
“The lips. They seem to be smiling at me,” I said, as she pulled the blanket to cover herself.
“Obviously. They would thank you if they could talk.” Leena smiled. She bit her full lower lip hard.
Then she really saw my face. She saw something that my face, the index of my mind, could not hide.
“Hey. You okay, Maya?”
I shrugged, fiddling with the loose strands of the blanket.
“So… you finally felt what it is like when someone’s tongue explores you?” I asked.
She nodded slightly and corrected, “Yours,” sandwiching my hand between her big palms.
“Leena, you know that I have an eye on Sam… for…”
“Are you in love with him?” she asked.
“A crush. Just that,” I made it clear. “I love his body. I don’t want to leave India like this. I… I… want to feel what it is before I leave for the UK. The stretch of the man thing inside me… I am dying to feel it. I want it from Sam, because I trust him. Just once. He will make no fuss. No cinematic love drama. I am not ready for it.”
She looked at me a little longer. The pause said that she was filtering her thoughts and being careful about her words before she uttered them.
“Then go get it, Maya,” she whispered. Her eyes brimmed. “You know it by now. I love you, but I won’t hold you back. Because… we are here. So I am aware of what we could do as girls and whatnot. But always remember, my love will remain the same for you.”
Warmth flooded my chest. I could say nothing but two simple words. “Thanks, Lee.”
Then I confessed my plan to her.
“Bra!”
“Huh? What bra?”
“Mine. The black one. It is still in that pyjama bag. Maybe I could use it as a reason to go to Sam’s house again.”
“After all what happened there… do you really need a reason?” Leena laughed.
“You are right. He would be waiting for me as I do.”
“Yes, Maya. Just call him and plan.”
“It is Friday,” I went on. “Jignesh and Guru always go for it. Late-night movie time. Sam hates the crowd, so he used to stay at home. I heard him say Jignesh always stayed back at Guru’s place. They booze, it seems.”
“So Sam would be alone tonight,” Leena murmured.
“Exactly. So I will go late. He will understand why. I am finishing it tonight, Leena.”
“But you have to return before morning.”
“Yes. By dawn, I will start back. No one will know.”
We exchanged a shy smile.
I winked. “This time I am going well prepared.”
Her brow lifted slowly, curious. “Prepared? Exams or what?”
I leaned closer, my breath hot on her ear. Her scent reminded me of last night with her.
“I have some fantasies for my first time…”
“Like…” Leena hissed.
“The chocolate one. I want to wrap his thing with it.”
“Pardon?”
“Condom, Leena. I can’t rush and risk anything. I love chocobar, you know.” I winked.
“What else?” She shook her head.
“Sam keeps his neat and trimmed. I think he loves it clean and clear. So… I’m gonna…”
“Deforest your bush?” she giggled.
“Yes. Hair removal. You’re going to help me with it.”
“What?” She raised her brows.
“Won’t you?”
She nodded.
I stood, dressed up, and grabbed my bag. “Okay. I’ll get the breakfast from your favourite dosa shop and will be back soon.” I started out. At 10 AM, the sun was already gleaming.
About an hour later, I bounced back into our house. Leena had already taken a bath and smelled of lavender. My hair was still in a messy bun.
“You need a de-tan facial…” Leena said the moment she noticed me. Sweat beaded under my arms, a salty trickle.
“Gifts,” I said and dumped the plastic bag on her bed.
The chocolate condoms packet I showed off like I had won a trophy.
“You know… I will never buy this condom again. Man… the uncle in the supermarket was looking at me like… like a slut.”
“Don’t over-imagine stuff. It happens when you buy such things for the first time. We imagine wildly,” Leena said.
“Seriously, Leena? You know things?” I teased her and showcased everything I bought.
A Vaseline jelly, a soft pack of wipes, and the hair removal cream with the spatula.
“I got this lipstick. Two. Keep this,” I said, tossing one to her.
“I love purple,” she said, twisting the lipstick pack.
“And breakfast.” The aroma of the chutneys filled the room quickly. Tempting.
“Not bathing?” she asked, seeing me arranging the plates.
“Don’t talk like my mother. I will bathe later. I’m starving. I’ll eat you if you stop me,” I growled like a tigress.
“You ate me last night. That’s enough.”
I did not bother about her poor joke and focused on my food.
“Come on, Leena. Have your food. We have a lot of work to do…” I pushed her ever-silver plate toward her.
As soon as after brunch, I announced, “Bathroom. Five minutes.” I rushed.
“Come on. You are not going to miss the bus.” Leena frowned, just feigning, I knew.
I was like someone possessed by a devil with an unsatisfied wish. My feet were not on the ground. Steam filled the bathroom, thick and heavy, and the lavender oil reminded me of a spa.
I removed my clothing layer by layer and stood naked, with one foot on the toilet lid. The porcelain was chill on my soles. My fingers brushed my bush, my fond forest. I had always kept it like that. It was kind of kinky and sad at the same time that I was going to bid adieu to my pubic hair.
I applied the hair removal cream. The cool paste tingled sharply on warm skin. The hairs matted wet, slimy against my skin.
Leena slipped in quietly and jolted me. “Can’t you wait?” The door clicked softly as she closed it.
She tried to act normal about my nudity, but I saw the excitement, the lust in her eyes.
“Hmmkmm.” I cleared my throat. “I should have gone for the underarms first,” I said. My voice echoed off the tiles.
“Let me help.” She squeezed some cream on her fingers and spread it slowly in my underarms.
It tickled, but I contained it. Her big frame held me like a doll in her control. We waited for the cream to work its magic on the strands.
She knelt on the floor. I was confused. Her hot breath grazed my inner thighs.
“What?” she asked, and shot another question. “Don’t you want to smooth your thighs?”
“Should I?” I asked Leena.
“Your pussy would be the odd one out, cleanly shaved.”
“Fine…” I nodded. Leena applied the hair remover cream all over my thighs. She turned me around and even applied it on my bum. She did not miss any spot. I felt shy when she applied it around my other hole.
Her fingers trembled faintly, but she managed it well.
“So… it’s done.” She stood up, accomplished, and corrected herself with the plastic spatula in hand. “Well, half done.”
I smiled. Then she cleared the messy, molten hair from my underarms.
Leena was treating me like a princess. I was astounded by her selfless love.
“Why, Leena?” was the only question in my mind, seeing her utmost care for me.
“Sit…” She made me sit on the cool porcelain.
I knew what she was going to do. I spread my legs and she made them wider. I was open before her, going to be all clear very soon. We spoke no words. I felt embarrassed to make her do all such things.
“Don’t feel too much. Maybe you need to return the favour someday,” Leena mocked me.
“Anything for you,” I promised her.
She knelt again, comfortably seated on the bathing stool. Then the spatula scraped it all from my triangle like a surfboard gliding through rough waves. Soon the sea became calm, with no waves.
“Stand,” Leena commanded.
I obliged and stood. She pulled my hands down. I understood she wanted me to turn around and bend. I did, with hesitation and real blushing. I held my breasts that dangled subtly.
She spread my ass cheeks and cleaned there with the spatula. Then I stood straight. She made it swift on the thighs. The same process in a loop.
“Done!” Leena announced, and without warning, she fired water at my pussy with the handgun.
“Ouch!” I gasped.
“Relax, Maya.” She pointed the shower water to clean me inch by inch.
She revealed smooth skin like a tease. I felt like an all-new person, a butterfly out of its cocoon.
“Maya. Fuck. Look at you.” Leena was awestruck.
She was staring at something I had almost ignored. My big clit. It stood proud like a miniature hood.
“That’s so bold and… sexy.” She came forward and touched it. When she was touching earlier during hair removal, I felt nothing odd. Now it sent a jolt. I held her hand.
“What?” There was disappointment in her voice.
“Nothing… it tingles,” I said.
Her eyes locked with mine. She kissed me, just a peck.
“Take a bath. Make it your day.” She left with a smile.
It was not like I did not want her to touch me, but I wanted to keep my focus on Sam.
I took a bath, self-adoring my curves and details I saw for the first time. Minutes later, I walked out naked. Water dripped down my breasts, stomach, and thighs. I leaned in through the doorway. Droplets beaded on my nipples.
“Towel?” I asked Leena.
She came closer with one and helped me. She wasted no chance to feel my body under the pretext of cleaning.
At one point, she dropped the towel and kneaded my curves, hugging me only to earn my response, which was spontaneous. I could not resist. She lifted me like a doll, holding my bum, and kissed me. I wrapped my legs around her and gave her a deep French kiss.
She laid me on the bed. I wanted to stop her but did not get the heart to break hers. She kissed my navel. I knew that was not the spot she wanted to kiss, and she trailed down to my mound. Her tongue glided over my smooth skin and hit the stiff one between my folds. The crown.
She nibbled it with her teeth.
“Oh! Leena… stop…” I begged.
She sucked my clit, simultaneously accessing my labia with her fingers.
“Stop… stop… please, Leena.” I pushed her mouth away. She almost sucked my clit off its place.
She was on her knees. I sat up on the edge of the bed. I saw disappointment on her face.
“Just one night. I will be back after getting a few things done. We will have all the time then.” I touched her head and fiddled with her hair.
The space between us was as thin as paper. Leena felt it like the distance between the moon and Earth, like her love. For that same love, she let me go free, not instilling any pressure in me.
It was my time, for me to chase my passion. The climax of unlocking myself. Just a few hours to kill before my first night with Sam.
‘Here I come!’ I vowed to lose my virginity. Nope! To unlock my freedom.
