Sleepwalking

My roommate's always flirting with me

Tara couldn’t believe her bad luck. Out of all the people looking for a roommate, she ended up with her boss, Selena. Selena—known for her sharp wit, enchanting looks, and a rumored history with a few past coworkers—had a reputation as the office “temptress.” Watching Selena move with that effortless allure, Tara silently vowed to keep a safe, respectful distance. But on the very first night of living together, that same untouchable boss ended up sleepwalking… right into Tara’s room, wrapping herself around her with surprising softness and refusing to let go, nestled into Tara’s chest as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Keeping her calm, Tara gingerly extricated herself, stepped onto the balcony, and drank a full glass of ice water—despite the frigid winter temperatures. “She’s straight. You’re just roommates. Don’t even think about catching feelings,” Tara told herself, hoping her resolve would hold. But Selena seemed determined to ignore any “distance.” After dodging yet another one of Selena’s friendly but borderline flirtatious invitations, Tara found herself cornered in the underground parking lot after work. Under the dim lights, Selena’s eyes sparkled with a hint of red at the corners. “Are you like everyone else? Do you hate me?” she asked, her voice tinged with unexpected hurt, a stubbornness that was oddly… sweet. The usual polite words Tara had on hand somehow lodged in her throat. Flustered, she stammered, “No… I’m just scared I might fall for you.” Selena had a secret: she was totally smitten with the company’s new intern. There was something about Tara’s quiet warmth and that little spark of defiance that pulled Selena in. So much so, that Selena willingly traded her comfortable apartment for a cramped 700-square-foot rental—just to be closer to her crush. She even went out of her way to “accidentally” create situations that would draw them together. But her darling intern remained unmoved, cool and reserved, her demeanor bordering on chilly. When a close friend pointed out that no one wants to room with their boss, saying, “Living with your boss just feels like working overtime every night,” Selena pouted but couldn’t deny it. Resting her head against Tara’s shoulder, Selena couldn’t help but think, Too true… I do have her working ‘overtime’ every night.

Give and take, you'll bend over while I fuck you. Do I scare you?" "Maybe a little. I fear the things you do to me whenever I'm in your bed. I'm scared I'll never want to leave." His eyes gleamed with desire. He breathed. "Say my name." "Faxon." Her voice was a treacherous whisper. She sounded so out of breath and barely audible. He shut his eyes and released a pleasurable sigh, running the tip of his nose along the crook of her neck...

Love or Lust (Christmas romance)

"ahhh!" I screamed before pushing him off the bed. With my heart racing, I clutched my white pillow to my chest even though I was not naked. White pillow? I don't own anything white for obvious reasons. " Ughh! You're more violent when you're awake." My idiot of a cousin said as he tried massaging his back. " What are you doing in my bed?" I yelled at him. I know he is family but he is a guy. And I don't like having guys this close to me, alone, in my room. " In your bed?" he scoffed before adding " check again Kelly." It was then I noticed I was not in my bed, not in my grandma's, not even in my dad's. It was... Ben's. No no no! Please don't tell me I.... " Yeah. You sleepwalked to my room" he must have guessed my thoughts when he saw the horrified expression I had on my face. " I don't sleepwalk." I said stubbornly. I know I did but I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of admitting. The thing was... I started sleepwalking after he relocated to UK. I would always find myself in his room in the morning whenever I stayed at grandma's house. I guessed I missed him that much. But now he is here, I don't understand how I ever missed him. He took off his T-shirt. Showing off his drool - worthy body. Instead of finding my way out, what do you think I did? I sat down rooted to the bed, staring at his body. What broke the trance was the cocky smirk on his face. Trust me. When a guy is cute and he doesn't know, that's very adorable. But when he looks good and he knows, that is the spelling of danger. *** Christmas is near! Who is excited? Everyone but Kelechi. After a break up, Christmas excitement is not what she needs. Definitely not her entire dysfunctional family in one place. Especially not her cousin Ben who she is attracted to. Quick question: When you are attracted to your cousin, is it love or lust?

RAINING JACKET

The novel revolves around three story lines:- 1. Prof. Mathew 2. Sasi and Amit(college undergraduates) 3. Detectives Govind and Srikant 1.Prof. Mathew:- He is a professor in an engineering college and is also a recent divorcee. He has absurd nightmares about a man reciting to him old poetry and threatening to kill him, after which he finds himself in the terrace in the morning(presumably sleepwalking to the terrace each time he has this nightmare). He is also forgetting things at a constant rate so much so that he has completely forgotten what he teaches and has resorted to teaching a mathematically calculated language(which he claims to have created himself) to his students as his courses don't account for much. 2.Sasi and Amit are first year college undergraduates. While wandering around the campus, they meet Hussain, a super senior(one who has graduated college but still stays in the campus) who is also the founder of 'Raining jacket Inc.' which is a startup which, with the help of its device 'Raining Jacket', manages to manipulate people's minds with the AI devices they use like phone, laptop etc to like someone else( most precisely it's clients). Hussain hires them and all of them go through a journey of being fascinating by the extent to which Raining Jacket can manipulate the mind into liking someone. 3. Detectives Govind and Srikant are investigating the murders of a serial killer on the college campus(same as prof. Mathew, Sasi and Amit) who follows a pattern of alternate gender murders. They are also close flatmates whose kids got exchanged when they were born, and they are in the process of accepting their real kids, after swapping them with each other.
