Amit Pandey lived in Dehradun. He operated a tea estate nestled among green hills. At forty-five, he was strong and was a retired army officer. He was disciplined and well-respected. But it was his gentle side that made him a loving husband to Devika. Devika Pandey, at forty-two, had lost her ability to move. An accident had taken that away. She hurt her back badly. Two months had passed since that day. The doctors said she needed complete bed rest. Their son, Avinash, lived in Delhi and worked as a software engineer. He loved late nights and weekends with friends. But he held a secret. He wanted to be free to be himself, away from his family.
Four hundred kilometers from Dehradun, in a small town, lived Shweta. Shweta was just twenty-two when her life changed. When she was fourteen, she lost her father. The grief was heavy. For the last eight years, she felt sad. People around her didn’t help. They teased and insulted her. Her mother, Rukmini, suffered too. Rukmini worked as a local schoolteacher and worried about her daughter’s future.
Shweta was an above-average student. She attempted to complete her degree but couldn’t finish it due to her low economic situation. Then came a change of direction. At 22, Shweta received a proposal from a wealthy family. His name was Avinash Pandey, who was two years older than her. They sought a smart, humble, and beautiful girl. When the prospective father-in-law, Amit, met her, he agreed right away. Avinash’s condition for the wedding was for Shweta to stay in Dehradun and look after his mother.
The wedding was simple. It took place at the local temple. Shweta looked stunning in a red and gold sari. Her mother was delighted, while Shweta wore a shy smile throughout the proceedings. Avinash dressed in a simple dhoti and shawl. Within a week, the entire wedding ceremony was completed. Shweta found herself in Dehradun. The Pandey residence was a world apart from her village home.
When she arrived at her in-laws’, she was surprised. The Pandeys lived in Dehradun, a hill station in North India. Their expansive villa sat on a hilltop. A duplex-designed house with four bedrooms and a terrace. The ground floor had a porch, living room, kitchen, dining area, a large bedroom with an attached bath, and a guest bedroom. On the top floor were the master bedroom with an attached bath, a secondary bedroom, and a study with a library and workspace. The backyard was covered with a small garden.
Amit was sleeping in the master bedroom. Devika was looked after in the large bedroom on the ground floor. Avinash and Shweta were moved to the secondary bedroom on the top floor. Shweta’s first night was in the secondary room at the in-laws’; it was her wedding night.
Avinash was thinner and detached. Shweta thought he was shy. They talked for fifteen minutes. Then, feeling the tension building in her, Shweta finally decided to take action. She gently placed her hand on his thigh. It felt right. He looked at her, surprised. Quickly, he pulled away. Just as she tried again, he stood up suddenly.
“I’m exhausted,” he said, and slept on the bed.
Shweta was disappointed, as she wanted to connect. But Avinash ignored her advances and went to sleep without a word. She slept on the other side of the bed, listening to his steady snores. The next morning, she woke early to cook breakfast. As she moved around the kitchen, thoughts of last night filled her mind. Her body remembered the closeness. She hoped tonight would be different. The following week went on with the same routine. Avinash glued himself to his phone or laptop, ate, and went to bed early. He was polite, but there was no passion. He never touched her as she craved. Every night she tried to initiate sex; he had an excuse. Either work stress or fatigue. She felt unwanted. Her self-esteem took a hit.
Her father-in-law, Amit, noticed the tension. He could see something was off. But he didn’t say anything. On the other hand, her husband quite simply ignored her. After a week, Avinash said he had to head back to Delhi for an emergency work trip. Amit felt frustrated. It seemed too soon for his son to leave his new wife. Shweta felt both relief and sadness. She was tired of feeling unwanted by her husband. His focus was clearly on his job, not her.
Shweta nodded as she watched him pack his bag and leave. She decided to care for her mother-in-law. She communicated with Amit mostly with gestures and soft words. Yet, she had come to admire her father-in-law, Amit. He was a strong man with a gentle heart. Amit had treated her kindly. She appreciated his support. Before leaving, Avinash gave her a quick lecture.
“Look after Ma, okay?” he said, avoiding her gaze. “Make sure she takes her medicine and is comfortable.”
Two days later, after Avinash left for Delhi, the family doctor came to check on Devika. He talked with Amit about her health. Shweta overheard their conversation. Shwera heard her mother-in-law’s condition was critical. She wouldn’t be able to get out of bed again for at least a year. The doctor mentioned serious issues with Devika’s backbone. Even more shocking, Devika and Amit shouldn’t try to be intimate for at least three or four years. Amit looked devastated. Shweta felt a mix of emotions. She was shocked and felt sorry for her father-in-law. In that moment, she realized her father-in-law and she were in the same boat. Shweta took on her new role as the woman of the house. She also cared for her mother-in-law.
The following week, Avinash’s calls from Delhi became less frequent. When he did call, it was all about work or updates on his mother’s health. Shweta felt distant from him, as there was no room for intimacy. A man she barely knew, and she was losing him. The calls got shorter. It was as if he forgot she was his wife and saw her just as a caretaker. Shweta’s nights were lonely. She faced the chill of an empty bed. Her body longed for intimacy. Her mind raced with desperate thoughts. Her desires burned within her, wild and unchecked. Amit noticed the change in her. He sensed that his son wasn’t being the husband he should be. He felt pity for her. She cared deeply for Devika, but he could see her pain. She needed help.
A month later, Amit decided to hire a maid to assist in the household as well as to support Shweta. He thought that would ease her burdens. Using that information, a woman named Kajal reached out. She was a widow in her thirties. She had a gentle demeanor and a kind smile.
Amit stood tall and spoke firmly. “Kajal, I need someone reliable and caring to help with the housework and look after my wife.”
Kajal nodded. “I understand, Amitji. I will be here from morning to evening and will work every day except weekends.”
“Good,” Amit replied, pleased. “You’ll start tomorrow morning. Shweta will show you around and explain your duties.”
Immediately thereafter, Kajal stepped into the household. The first few days with Kajal were a relief for Shweta. Kajal handled the toughest chores. This let Shweta focus entirely on caring for Devika. Shweta admired Kajal and felt a unique ease with her. They clicked. Kajal’s playful teasing often made Shweta blush. Even with the age difference, they bonded over similar dreams and frustrations. Side by side, they opened up. Kajal knew how a tragic event cut short her love life.
One evening, they sat in the backyard garden. The conversation turned to sex. Kajal shared stories from her past. Her voice drew Shweta in. Kajal noticed sadness in Shweta’s eyes.
Kajal spoke. “Shweta, Is everything okay?”
Shweta sighed. “My husband is in Delhi and is busy with work. We haven’t had much time together.” She paused, “Do you get what I mean?”
Kajal nodded. “Ah. It can be ... difficult.” Kajal shifted the topic. She smiled and leaned in to Shweta. She jokingly whispered. “Your husband isn’t the only one who can satisfy you, Shweta.”
Shweta’s heart raced; she poked Kajal with a mix of shock and laughter. Shweta opened up more, and the conversation grew deeper. She shared her fears and longings. Kajal listened intently. No judgment, just empathy.
Amit noticed Shweta smiling more. Kajal’s presence warmed their lives. The bond between them grew stronger. They spent time together. They chatted, laughed, and shared meals. Their friendship blossomed. Caring for Devika brought them closer. Amit introduced Shweta to the tea estate, which the family controlled. He had hoped his son would someday take over; in Avinash’s absence, he hoped Shweta would learn something. The estate was huge. A green sea of tea leaves stretched out in all directions. Local villagers worked here, greeting Amit with respect. Shweta listened closely. She was commanding as well as attentive.
“Shweta, you’re more than just a caretaker.” He paused and looked into her eyes. “I want you to be happy here.”
Shweta felt warmth in her chest. She nodded. “I’ll do my best to help and take care of everything.” She took his hand. “Thank you for everything.”
Their bond grew. Amit began to see the woman behind her sadness. Shweta had spirit, strength, and a passion for life.
A month passed since Kajal began working as the maid. On a Wednesday morning, Amit had a slight headache. Amit saw it as a chance to give more roles to Shweta in the family.
“Shweta,” he said, his voice steady but kind. “I’ve seen how well you care for your mother-in-law. I need you to help with some things at the tea estate. It’s time for you to get more involved in the family business.”
She nodded, excitement shining in her eyes. “I understand, Amitji,” she replied softly.
Shweta’s heart raced. Amit had finally acknowledged her. Not just as a caretaker, but as someone more. She took the scooter and left the estate to drop off some documents her father-in-law gave her. Amit found himself alone in the house, except for his wife. He checked her room. She was in a peaceful sleep due to her medications. He had been married to Devika for nearly twenty years. They shared laughter, dreams, and love. But now, things were different. Earlier, they had a brief talk about their situation. While Devika gave permission for sex outside marriage, Amit was still two-minded about it.
Amit was lost in thought when it suddenly started raining cats and dogs. Amit scolded himself for sending Shweta in the rain, for not checking the weather. He breathed in deeply, hoping his daughter-in-law would stay at the estate office till the rain subsided. The rain picked up, hitting harder now. A loud knock on the front door distracted Amit.
He opened, surprised to see Kajal, soaked through. She stood at the door, her sari clinging tightly. She was completely drenched. Water streamed down her hair and rolled off her shoulders. He hurried to help her inside. She shivered, teeth chattering from the cold.
“Here, let me get you a towel,” he said.
Kajal nodded. Her eyes sparkled with a chill. Amit rushed to the cupboard. He grabbed a towel and handed it to her. She began to dry off. Her hands shook a bit. She wrapped the white towel around herself. Amit couldn’t help but watch.
The towel barely wrapped around her body. It struggled to contain her curves. She was beautiful, no doubt about it. Her fair skin glowed. He quickly tried to look away, but he couldn’t ignore the attraction. Her long black hair hung around her shoulders, dripping wet. Kajal stood there, 5’5”, shorter than Amit, who towered at 6 feet, and her head barely reached his chest. He could easily estimate her 36D breasts. Her eyes were large, and her lips were full. In that moment, she resembled a wet goddess in his living room. He couldn’t shake the image from his mind. His heart raced.
Amit stood there, watching her. Seeing her in that state, desire shot through him. Most would feel pity. Not him. He wore only khaki shorts and a patterned half-sleeve shirt. He could feel his cock stirring inside his shorts. He felt guilt creep in. Still, desire pushed it aside. It revealed too much. He swallowed hard. His mind raced. He had to control himself.
He took a breath. He said to her. “You are totally wet, Kajal. Why don’t you dry off in the bathroom?”
She chattered her teeth. “All my clothes are wet, Amitji.”
“You can wear some of Shweta’s spare clothes,” he said, his voice a bit raspy.
Kajal nodded and went upstairs to Shweta’s room. A strange mix of excitement and anxiety washed over her. She needed to change quickly. As she searched through the closet, she found a simple salwar kameez. It was a little tight, but it would work. She slipped out of her wet sari, letting it drop to the floor. The cold air brushed against her skin, making her shiver. She put on the dry clothes. The salwar kameez clung to her curves. Kajal felt a wave of self-consciousness. She was more voluptuous than Shweta. Her breasts filled the top of the blouse. Her hips stretched the fabric of the pants.
She couldn’t shake off thoughts of Amit looking at her. She felt exposed in front of her employer. It had been a long time since anyone looked at her with such intensity. Kajal took a deep breath. She was a widow, yet she couldn’t hide her desires, and her heart raced as she walked down the stairs. Amit glanced up from his book. He noticed her instantly from the living room couch. Kajal looked incredible in Shweta’s clothes. The blouse hugged her curves a bit too tightly. Her figure was amplified. The salwar stuck to her hips.
“Thank you for the clothes, Amitji,” she said. She forced a smile to hide her nerves.
“You look beautiful, Kajal,” Amit replied. His voice was low, almost to himself. He had never seen Kajal in other clothes than saris.
Kajal’s eyes widened. She felt a blush creep up her cheeks. “Thank you, Amitji. I’ll start working now. I don’t want to waste any more of your time.”
“You’re not wasting any time,” he said.
Amit leaned back on the couch, watching Kajal. His eyes followed her as she mopped the floor. She bent down, and the salwar hugged her figure closely. It fit like a second skin. He couldn’t look away. The fabric of her kameez stretched tightly across her body. Kajal sensed his eyes on her. She knew he was watching. A thrill shot through her, butterflies in her stomach. She understood the implications. Yet her body reacted, bending further to show him her ass, betraying her mind. Outside, the rain kept pouring.
Amit cleared his throat. “Kajal,” he said, “could you make us some tea?”
“Yes, Amitji,” she replied. She sounded too eager. In the kitchen, she started boiling tea.
Amit called out from the covered porch, “Get one cup for yourself, Kajal.”
Kajal carried the tea to the porch. The rain had turned into a light drizzle. He sat in a chair, watching the rain. His broad shoulders and strong arms flexed. She placed the tray down; her hand brushed against his when she gave him a cup. They sat across from each other, holding warm cups. Amit watched her closely. Kajal sensed his eyes on her. He took a sip of his tea. “Kajal, tell me about your sex life,” Amit asked, his tone casual.
Kajal was surprised. “Amitji,” she paused, her cup of tea halfway to her lips. “I’m not sure this is appropriate,” she said.
“Yes, I know,” Amit replied calmly. “You’re a widow. But you’re still young and beautiful. Do you have anyone special?”
Kajal felt her cheeks flush. This was not a topic she usually discussed with her employer. But she sensed honesty was needed.
“It’s been six years since my husband passed away,” she said softly. “I haven’t had anyone since then. It’s a lonely life.”
Amit stared back at her. The intensity in his eyes was clear. He saw the longing in her eyes. He knew he was stepping into dangerous territory, yet he felt powerless to stop himself.
“Kajal,” he started, his voice shaky. “I know I’m your boss.” He paused. “I need to be honest. With Devika’s condition ... I need someone.”
Kajal’s heart raced. She understood what he meant. “Amitji,” she replied gently, putting her tea aside. “What are you really asking?”
Amit inhaled deeply. “I’m asking if you would consider sleeping with me, Kajal.”
Kajal’s eyes widened. She was surprised, then gathered herself. She felt the same need, the same loneliness. But she never expected the straightforwardness from Amit. She searched his eyes for lies or malice. Instead, she saw powerful, raw desire. She understood the craving for intimacy. She missed the warmth of a man’s touch. The idea of being with Amit didn’t scare her. It intrigued her. Amit was a strong man. A good man. He treated her with respect. She sensed he wasn’t just after a quick fix. He needed companionship.
But there was a question nagging at her. “What about your wife, Amitji?”
Amit took a deep breath. He leaned in closer. “Kajal,” he whispered, “it was my wife’s wish. After her accident, we talked. She understood I still had needs. She suggested I find someone who could care for me in ways she could not.”
Kajal pondered Amit’s words. She understood Devika was bedridden and had her own problems. The idea of helping Amit—and maybe finding some comfort for herself—was tempting.
“What kind of arrangement are you proposing, Amitji?” she asked.
Amit leaned back in his chair. “I’m not asking for a relationship, Kajal. I just need someone to have sex with me. I want it to be you.”
She paused, considering. “And what happens when your son or daughter-in-law finds out?”
Amit sighed. “They won’t,” he assured her. “Avinash is busy with his life in Delhi. I won’t let Shweta know. I hope you can keep a secret. It’s no one’s business but ours.”
Kajal took a deep breath. She nodded. “Okay, Amitji,” she whispered.
Amit’s eyes lit up. He reached for her hand. “Thank you, Kajal. You won’t regret this.”
Just then, the rain poured down. Droplets splashed on the porch. They barely had time to react. With the sudden downpour, Amit reached for Kajal’s hand and led her back inside. It felt so different from the cool rain outside. But the heat inside them was clear.
He took her to his room. The master bedroom. The space was big with a king-sized bed. She felt nervous but also excited. This was new territory for both of them. Amit closed the door quietly. He took her hand, leading her to the bed. His eyes were hungry, but his touch was soft. This was different. She had only experienced this kind of touch once before—with her late husband. He guided her to sit on the edge of the bed.
Amit moved slowly, his fingers unbuttoning her kameez. They burst open one by one; she watched him slide the cloth aside to reveal her breasts. They were huge; the cold and expectation caused hard nipples. He cradled them in his hands. She gasped when his thumbs swept over her nipples. It had been quite some years. She relaxed with his touch.
As Amit untied her salwar, his eyes never turned away from hers. He dragged it down her legs. He absorbed her naked form. Her skin was fair and silky. She sat before him dressed in nothing. Between her legs he could see a dark hair patch. Her pussy was absolutely beautiful. It was a wild garden just waiting to be explored, rich in hair. She was lovely, and he sensed his cock getting harder. Amit found the soft layer of fat covering her thighs quite appealing. He brushed his hands softly over her skin. She had been touched like this so long ago. His hand moved up, his fingers brushing the brink of her pussy. He reached her clit, pushing aside the pubic hair. He looked into her eyes and started to finger her. His focused stare was like he was trying to read her soul.
As his finger slid within her, she moaned, “Ohh.”
She had experienced this so long ago. Her body began to sweat. His movements got more forceful, and she sensed an orgasm building under way.
She said, “Ahh ... Ahhh...,” her voice low and hungry.
Amit felt her pussy tighten around his finger and fixed his gaze upon hers. He knew she was close. His thumb down on her clit, he accelerated his speed.
Kajal opened her mouth in a quiet growl, “O.”
She flung her head back. She came. Her body vibrated with pleasure. It exceeded anything she had experienced in years. Her eyes closed, she leaned back on the bed. When her breathing slowed and she opened her eyes, Amit was smiling as he observed her. It was the pleased smile of a man who had satisfied a woman. She had not seen this look in some time. Amit leaned in and kissed her lips while his hands cupped her breasts. She pulled herself up to touch his face.
Amit pulled away and stood before Kajal. She sat on the edge of the bed. He pulled off his shirt to expose a chest with defined muscles and sprinkled hairs on top. He had a tight stomach and the body of a man who had seen wars. Her eyes followed his abs from the waist of his khaki shorts. He let his belt drop to the floor. His underwear showed the outline of his erection. Kajal got excited. She had not seen a man’s cock for her in so long.
Amit slipped down his remaining clothing. His cock shot out by itself. It was large and thick. Kajal’s eyes grew wider. Before, she had never seen anything like it. Amit’s was on another level compared to her late husband. It was a cock that begged attention. It could fill her in on almost untouched techniques. Between her legs, she felt a flood of moisture.
“Amitji,” she said softly.
He paused, and with interest in his eyes, he asked. “What, Kajal?”
Kajal’s voice dropped lower. “You’re ... You are very big, Amitji.”
Amit smirked. “I’m glad you noticed, Kajal.” He leaned in closer. His cock bobbed with every movement. “Don’t worry,” he said with a playful tone. “I’ll be gentle. This is our first time.”
Kajal’s mouth shut. Amit’s cock was really big, and she felt both excited and nervous. He moved forward, his hand extended to push her back. She lay down; the mattress sank. He trailed her, his body hovering above hers. She could feel his heat; he was so close. Amit slanted in to reach her neck with his hand. His thumb felt her pulse. She was ready, he knew, but he also knew she was anxious. He pushed her back until she was right in the middle of the bed.
He gently kissed her, with his tongue digging into her mouth. Kajal’s hands flew over his body. She first hesitated, not sure what he enjoyed. She grew bolder, though, as he groaned into her mouth. Her hands slid down his chest, following the lines of his abs. Amit kissed her neck, and feeling her pulse in his mouth, he kissed and bit there. Her breasts pressed into his chest as she arched her back.
His hands cupped her breasts, felt their weight in his palms. Her nipples were sensitive yet tough. She gasped after he squeezed her nipples between his thumb and forefinger. He lowered, and he kissed her along her collarbone toward the breasts. He took one gently in his mouth. Kajal sighed low. She groaned, “Ahh ... Ahhh.”
He sucked her nipple, and his teeth brushed the sensitive skin. She could feel his breath against her breasts. His mouth was wet and hot. His hands were all around, caressing and teasing, neglecting no area of her. Kajal’s hand reached for his cock as she felt it against her thigh. She wrapped her hand around his bulge; he was rock hard. The heat, the weight, and the soft skin felt different but wonderful as she stroked him.
“Kajal,” he said against her ear. “You’re driving me crazy.”
Kajal was in need. “Amitji, I want you inside me.”
Amit’s eyes darkened, and he didn’t waste a moment. His cock nudging at her entrance, he positioned himself between her legs. Leaning in, he whispered, “Are you sure, Kajal?”
Her eyes locked with his, mixed with anxiety and passion. She said, “Yes, I need your cock inside me.”
Amit pushed inside her. She moved slowly, allowing her to get used to his size. Kajal felt herself reaching to meet him. She had felt this complete so long ago.
As he slipped into her, “Oii ... Oii...” she cried out, the initial pain morphing into something else entirely.
He was gentle; he looked at her face for any sign of discomfort or pain. She felt him inch by inch filling her first few strokes. She got more used to his cock with every thrust. Her body started to react; her pussy clenched around him. She held the bedsheets. Amit slowed his pace when he saw her unease. He did not want to hurt her.
“Relax, Kajal,” he murmured in her ear.
He leaned down to kiss her once more. His hand rubbed her upper labia. She panted from his mouth on hers and his fingers on her clit combined. Her hips started to follow his lead, her body opening to him. His cock slid with every stroke more easily. She tightly wrapped him. Once more he kissed her. His tongue slid into her mouth as he pushed further inside her. He could sense her body loosening and her walls allowing his flow. Watching her eyes flutter shut with pleasure, he withdrew practically all the way before sliding back in.
As he accelerated, her groans got louder. “Ahh, yes, Amitji,” she panted, “just like that.”
He slanted down, his breath hot in her ear. “You’re so tight, Kajal.”
“Ahh, yes, Amitji.” She moaned. Kajal rolled back her eyes in pleasure. She said, “Ahh, Amit ... Yes, like that.”
Amit fucked her and watched her face. He could see the strain developing in her eyes as her breath became jagged. She was close; he was right there with her. His cock was buried deep within her. He knew she was about to come since her pussy tightened around him.
“Kajal,” he said, “tell me how it feels.”
She pounced, her eyes closed. “Amitji...,” she said. “It’s ... it’s heaven.”
“Look at me,” he yelled. “I want to see when you come.”
His strokes grew more powerful. Kajal opened her eyes and looked into his. She felt the orgasm developing, a burst of pleasure just ready to break her.
She moaned, “Amit...” her voice a desperate plea.
“Come for me, Kajal.” He said, “Let go.”
She grumbled, “Amit ... oh, Amit.”
Her breaths got jagged as the climax drew near. She had never been with a man that gave her pleasure such great priority.
She cried, “Amit...”
She exploded as her orgasm wave swept over her. As the pleasure seized her, she threw her head back and yelled his name again. Her pussy pounded with ecstasy, clenching down on his cock.
Amit watched Kajal cum. Her body twisted beneath him. He could feel his own orgasm building in him from the erotic sight. He was not ready to risk getting his maid pregnant. He pulled out, his cock still attached with her fluids. He stroked himself and painted his seed on her stomach. Kajal opened her eyes from the warmth of his cum. She lay there satisfied, panting and shaking. Their bodies tied together, they stayed on the bed for a few minutes. The rain outside had ended.
Amit began. “We need to change our clothes. Shweta will be home soon.”
Kajal nodded. She slid out of the bed; her body felt alive with fulfillment. Her legs unsteady from the strong orgasm. She walked to Shweta’s room, collecting the clothes she borrowed from her. Her sari was drying in Shweta’s room. She entered the bathroom that was attached. She washed away Amit’s seed in the warm shower. She experienced an odd mix of guilt and excitement. Still, she pushed them aside. She wanted this. She needed this.
She got ready fast. She went on with her daily chores. She thought to herself. What would Shweta think? She would accept? Is she likely to be offended?
Shweta waited at the tea estate. It seemed smart to wait for the rainstorm to let up before heading back. She had no clue about the storm wrapped up for her back home. As the downpour faded to a soft drizzle, she started to pack her things. The drive home was muddy. When she got to the villa, she parked the scooty. The evening air was cool against her skin.
Inside, familiar sounds filled the air. She saw Kajal as she passed the room where Devika rested. She smiled and headed upstairs to her room.
In the study, she found Amit, her father-in-law. He was caught up in paperwork. Amit looked up. His eyes met hers. Relief washed over him, hinting at his own storm beginning to settle.
“How was your day at the estate, Shweta?” he asked.
“I have dropped the documents with the manager,” she replied. “The manager told me the new fertilizers are going to arrive next week.”
Amit nodded. He set aside his papers. “That’s excellent news. Thank you for your help today.”
She replied with a smile. “I’m just doing my part for the family.”
