The air was warm, the kind of warmth that clung to your skin and made you feel like you were wrapped in a blanket. Meera adjusted the folds of her saree, the soft silk brushing against her thighs as she sat on the edge of the couch. Her husband, Raj, had been gone for two weeks now—some business trip he couldn’t avoid. The house felt emptier without him, quieter. Too quiet.She glanced at her phone, the screen lighting up with a message from her husband’s friend, Arjun. “Hey Meera, Raj said you might need some company while he’s away. Mind if I drop by?” She hesitated, her fingers hovering over the screen. Raj had mentioned Arjun would check in on her, but she hadn’t expected it to feel so… awkward. “Sure,” she typed back, forcing a smile she didn’t quite feel. “Come over whenever.”An hour later, Arjun was at her door, his easy grin and casual demeanor putting her slightly at ease. He carried a bag of groceries, claiming he didn’t want her to have to cook alone. Meera laughed, the sound light and involuntary. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad after all.They settled into the living room, the TV playing some sitcom neither of them was really paying attention to. The conversation flowed easily, Arjun’s jokes effortless and his charm disarming. Meera found herself relaxing, the tension in her shoulders melting away. Then it happened.“You know,” Arjun said, leaning back on the couch, “Raj used to tell me you’re really ticklish. Like, laugh until you can’t breathe ticklish.”Meera’s eyes widened, a blush creeping up her neck. “He did not. I’m not that bad.”Arjun raised an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in his eye. “Prove it.”She laughed nervously. “Prove it? How?”Without warning, his fingers darted toward her side, brushing lightly against her ribs. Meera squealed, her body jerking away as a burst of laughter escaped her. “Stop!” she gasped, but her laughter betrayed her.Arjun grinned, his fingers retreating but his gaze lingering. “I knew it. You’re absolutely ticklish.”Meera folded her arms over her chest, trying to regain her composure. “That was unfair. I wasn’t ready.”“Alright,” he said, holding up his hands in mock surrender. “I’ll give you a warning next time.”The next day, Arjun showed up again, this time with a movie in hand. “Figured we could make it a movie night,” he said, setting the DVD on the coffee table. Meera raised an eyebrow but didn’t object. Halfway through the film, his hand casually brushed against her arm, his fingers trailing down to her wrist. Meera froze, her breath catching in her throat. “Arjun…”“Relax,” he murmured, his voice low and smooth. “Just seeing if you’re still ticklish.”His fingers danced along the inside of her wrist, light and teasing. Meera bit her lip, trying to stifle a giggle, but it was no use. She laughed, the sound soft and breathless. “You’re impossible,” she said, pulling her arm away.Arjun chuckled, his eyes darkening just a fraction. “Maybe. But you’re fun to tease.”The days blurred together, Arjun’s visits becoming a routine Meera secretly looked forward to. Each time, he pushed a little further—his fingers brushing against her neck, his hands grazing her sides, his touch lingering just a little too long. She told herself it was harmless, that it was just a game. But the way her heart raced every time he touched her told a different story.One evening, as they sat on the patio, the stars twinkling above, Arjun turned to her, his expression serious. “Do you ever think about what this is, Meera? Us, spending all this time together?”She looked away, her fingers nervously twisting the edge of her saree. “It’s just… you’re keeping me company while Raj is away. That’s all.”“Is it?” he asked, his voice soft but insistent. Meera’s breath hitched, her mind racing. She knew what he was implying, what he wanted. And deep down, she knew she wanted it too. But the thought of crossing that line, of betraying Raj, made her stomach churn.“I don’t know,” she whispered, her voice trembling.Arjun leaned in, his lips brushing against her ear. Let me show you, he murmured, his breath warm against her skin. Her heart pounded, her body betraying her as she leaned into his touch. “Arjun…” But before she could say more, his fingers were at her sides again, tickling her mercilessly. Meera burst into laughter, squirming in her seat. “Stop!” she gasped, but she was laughing too hard to push him away.“Say it,” he teased, his fingers dancing along her ribs. “Say you like it.”“I—I can’t!” she managed between giggles.His touch softened, his hands moving to her waist, pulling her closer. “Then let me hear you say something else,” he whispered, his lips grazing her neck.Meera’s laughter faded, replaced by a soft gasp. Her hands gripped his arms, unsure whether to push him away or pull him closer. “Arjun…” The sound of her phone ringing shattered the moment. Meera jerked back, her heart racing as she fumbled for her phone. It was Raj. “I… I have to take this,” she stammered, standing up and moving to the other side of the patio.Arjun watched her, his expression unreadable. Let me show you, he had said. But now, with Raj’s voice on the other end of the line, Meera wasn’t sure she wanted to know.

Meera, feeling lonely with her husband Raj away, receives a visit from Raj's friend Arjun, who initially brings groceries and later movies, gradually becoming more physically intimate with her. Meera feels a mix of discomfort and attraction as Arjun tickles her and touches her in a way that makes her heart race.
