Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: The Bathroom That Cleansed Their Souls

The First Drop's Confession

The bathroom door clicked shut at 7:12 p.m., sealing out the flat's lingering idli steam and ma's distant bangles. Water hissed from the bucket heater, eucalyptus oil curling thick as temple smoke. Meena let the cotton housecoat puddle at her feet—golden skin flushed from the day's office AC, breasts heavy, nipples tightening in the humid breath of the room. Rivulets raced down her spine, pooling at the small of her back like secrets she hadn't yet spoken. Vijay stepped in behind her, shirt unbuttoned, lungi low, cock stirring at the sight of water tracing the curve of her ass. He pressed against her, erection nestling between cheeks, hands sliding soap-slick to cup her breasts. "That meeting… you shifted every time I looked," he murmured, thumb circling a nipple slow. She leaned back, moan swallowed by the shower's roar. "Intern's email was a disaster," she whispered, Tamil slipping in: "Aiyo, da, I was wet just from your stare." His fingers dipped lower, parting folds, finding her slick despite the water. He lifted her leg, hooked it over his hip—standing missionary against cool tiles—entering slow, deliberate. Water made them slippery; every thrust a confession. She came first, pussy clenching, cry muffled by his kiss; he followed, spilling hot inside her, holding her as the spray rinsed pretense away.

Tiles That Remember Every Sigh

The bathroom was old Madras intimacy: white tiles cracked like aged skin, frosted window glowing with Kapaleeshwarar's distant neon, bucket heater humming like a lover's held breath. Lifebuoy soap sat half-melted on the ledge; eucalyptus oil beaded on the steel mug. Steam fogged the mirror, turning their reflections into ghosts—her curves softened, his shoulders sharp with site dust still clinging to collarbones. Meena sat on the low plastic stool, legs parted for the warm bucket water Vijay poured slow over her head. Suds traced her throat, pooled in the hollow between breasts, slid down belly to dark curls. Her anklets—gold, thin—tinkled soft against tile, drawing his gaze. "Ma called," she said, voice husky, "wants us for Onam sadhya." He knelt, taking the mug, pouring over her back—calluses scraping gentle. "We'll go. But tonight…" His fingers traced soap down her spine, cupping ass, thumb grazing the cleft. The flat beyond the door was quiet—radio crooning Ilaiyaraaja low, neighbor's kid practicing violin off-key. Here, air thick as sambar steam, scents mingled: her jasmine hair oil, his sandalwood soap, the faint musk of want rising. She shifted, nightie long discarded, thighs parting instinctive. Water beaded on inner skin like forbidden fruit. He watched, cock half-hard against lungi, pulse visible at throat. Proximity buzzed: his knee brushing hers, accidental but not. The heater clicked off; silence fell heavy, broken only by drip-drip from the tap—each drop a heartbeat.

Knots That Only Water Unties

The stool creaked under her as Vijay massaged shampoo into her scalp—fingers firm, circling like he once circled blueprints. Meena's eyes fluttered shut. "Quiet students tomorrow," she murmured, "scared they'll sleep through Neruda." He chuckled low, rinsing suds down her back. "Client wants a cantilever that defies physics." His hands slid to shoulders, kneading knots—office tension, family eyes, the weight of "good match" still echoing from aunties' lips. She turned, water streaming over breasts, nipples tight. "Remember our first shower? You wouldn't even look." "Pals first," he echoed old pact, but eyes betrayed—dark, hungry, tracing rivulets to her mound. Inner war: Grab her, press to tiles, taste soap-sweet skin? No. Restraint's thrill sharper in this house of thin walls. Her laugh bubbled, chest rising fast. "Now you can't stop." Thighs pressed, slick heat building from his gaze alone. Mind replayed: milk spilled on wedding night, fingers grazing tentative, aunties downstairs. Pressure squeezed—duty, modesty—but want wild as Bay waves at dusk. He stepped closer, not touching full, air humming charged. "I'd read Neruda to you. Your voice… thunder over Mahabalipuram." Glance at lips full, bitten. Her fingers twisted in his lungi—knuckles brushing cock accidental, spark jumping. Froze, pulse leaping. "Sorry," whispered, but lingered—toe nudging his ankle under water, hidden. Restraint cracked hair-thin—hand flexing, fighting not to cover hers. "No rush, Meena. We build slow." Words heavy, eyes tracing valley of breasts. She nodded, core clenching—mind replaying his weight pinning, water then cold, now hot. "What about you? That cantilever—like our vows, defying gravity?" He groaned, cock aching full. "Tames nothing. But you… you tame me." Outside, azaan blended with temple conch—low moan calling pause. Eyes locked, silence thick with "what if." Hand almost reached—for shoulder, pull or comfort? Pulled back. Every unsaid touch shouted louder—clothes chains, but under? Embers glowing, breaths syncing eucalyptus-sharp.

The Bucket's Midnight Surrender

12:15 a.m. The flat slept; the bathroom glowed faint from the nightlight. Meena sat on the stool again, unable to sleep—lecture nerves, the weight of ma's Onam invite. Vijay joined, kneeling, taking the mug. "Bad dream?" "Just tomorrow." He poured warm water over her back, hands massaging lower—cupping ass, thumb grazing cleft. "Tell me the poem," he said, voice gravel. She recited Neruda soft, Tamil lilt slipping: "I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees." His fingers parted folds, circling clit slow—building, building. He positioned her on all fours, tiles cool under knees, water sloshing from the bucket. Entered from behind—doggy deep, one hand steadying hip, other rubbing clit. She pushed back, meeting thrust for thrust, moans echoing off walls. Orgasm ripped through her, arms trembling; he thrust twice more, coming with a shudder, pulling her against his chest. They sat in the puddle, him behind her, pouring the last of the water—confessions spilling: fears of failing students, losing contracts, the joy of stolen showers. Vulnerability raw, honor-veiled—family weight, privacy snatched in thin walls. But here? Free.

Dawn's Lingering Rinse

Dawn light filtered through frosted glass, casting soft glow on wet tiles. Vijay showered first, mind on meetings. Meena slipped in, nightie discarded. "Couldn't resist," she teased, pressing against him. They talked—weekend getaway dreams, office memes—while she soaped his back, stroking cock to hardness. He lifted her against the wall, legs around waist, entering swift. Water made it urgent; she came fast, G-spot perfect, cries blending with shower roar. He followed, face buried in her neck. Rinsed efficient, toweling with lingering touches—bathroom setting the day's tone. Desire smoldered, unquenched—hunger like Bay siren's call, pulling toward next stolen rinse. What breaks first? The question hung, sweet sin, as they stepped out, steam veiling the mirror like a promise.
