State of Affairs ⚖︎ "You missed a talking point on page four, Governor," I said, sliding the briefing file across his heavy mahogany desk. Tennyson didn't look at the file. His dark eyes stayed locked on my mouth, completely devoid of the golden-man charm he'd just fed to a crowd of thousands. "Lock the door, Milan," he murmured, his voice low and exhausted. "You have a press briefing in ten minutes, sir. And your wife is waiting in the lobby." He stepped around the desk, invading my space until the scent of cedar and expensive bourbon swallowed me whole. His hand brushed my waist, his thumb pressing possessively against my hip. "I don't care," he breathed, his facade finally shattering. "Lock the damn door." 🏛️ To the world, 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐲𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐬 is untouchable. He is the state's golden man, a devoted husband, and a man with a spotless reputation. Everyone worships the ground he walks on. Everyone except his executive assistant, 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐊𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐚. Milan has a strict two-year plan: survive the Governor's temper, secure her recommendation letter, and catch a one-way flight to Washington, D.C. Her job description: hand him his black coffee, fix his crooked ties, and treat the most powerful man in the state like a normal human being. But her immunity is exactly what breaks him. Behind the heavy oak doors of his office, Tennyson sheds his perfect mask. He is cynical, ruthless, and spiraling into a dark, desperate obsession with the only woman who doesn't want anything from him. He becomes addicted to her warmth and slowly to her. As late nights at the office blur into a secret arrangement, Milan thinks she has the situation under control. But she doesn't know that Tennyson's public life is a PR lie. She doesn't know that the Governor has absolutely no intention of letting her go. 'Cause what the Governor needs, the Governor gets.

"I want to fuck you," he said, low and filthy. My breath hitched. "W-what?" "I said I want to fuck you, Professor." He pressed closer, towering over me, his hard manhood grinding slowly against my thigh. "I want to bury my cock inside you and feel how tight you are." Logic screamed warnings in the back of my mind, but they were drowned out by the heavy ache between my legs and the way my hole clenched at his words. I found myself nodding slowly, heart pounding. ____________ Professor Kelly Roman, spends all his time drowning in work; teaching mathematics, tutoring his students, going home and repeating the cycle.

Will Professor Kelly push him away like he always does with people who want him, or will he be devoured by the mysterious student?

Tara was innocence wrapped in dangerous temptation. She had voluptuous curves, doe-like eyes, and a heart too pure for the filth of his thoughts. She was his sister-in-law's younger sister, a line he should never cross but Samarth didn't believe in lines. From the first time he saw her, something inside him snapped. It wasn't love...it was hunger. A hunger that grew into obsession and obsession into possession. He watched her. Studied her. Imagined her in every sinful way he could ruin her innocence until she'd only ever belong to him. Tara had no idea the devil was already in her life, and no idea that the man she thought was family was plotting to claim her in the most wicked ways. Samarth didn't care if it was wrong. Didn't care if she resisted. Because once he touched her, there would be no escape. She was his sweetest sin... and he would take her. Again. And again. And again.

A dangerously calm man. And a marriage neither of them expected. Avantika Rathore & Avyukt Vardan #SlowBurn #ArrangedMarriage #WattpadRomance

"She expected a prison, but found a home." At just nineteen, Mehar's life changes overnight when she is pushed into a marriage she never asked for. In a world where her choices were never truly hers, she steps into a new home carrying fear, confusion, and silent resistance in her heart. But Karan is not what she expected. Where she braced herself for control, he offers patience. Where she feared pressure, he gives her space. He listens, understands, and stands beside her-not as someone who owns her, but as someone who chooses her every single day. As quiet questions begin to rise from relatives and familiar voices-"ab good news kab sunao ge?"-Karan never lets those words weigh her down. Instead, he reminds her that there is no rush, that her dreams, her studies, and her future come first. With a supportive -in-law and a partner who refuses to rush her, Mehar slowly begins to find comfort in a place she once feared. Between unspoken emotions, small caring gestures, and a love that grows quietly rather than forcefully, Mehar begins to discover something unexpected-peace. What if a marriage forced upon her becomes the safest place she's ever known? A story of patience, respect, and a love that doesn't demand-but understands.

Adhira Deshmukh never believed her perfectly ordinary life would ever collide with chaos... until the universe decided to throw Devansh Singh straight into her path. She is 22, soft but unshakably strong, raised with Maharashtrian values, and just stepping into the world of college and responsibility. He is 11 years older, a respected Biology professor, a trustee of the college, and her brother's best friend-someone she has disliked since childhood for reasons she never bothered to understand. To Adhira, Devansh is everything she cannot stand: Too strict. Too controlling. Too intimidating. Too present in her life. She hates how he corrects her in class, how he appears in family dinners, how he never lets her get away with the slightest mistake, and most of all-how he looks at her like he knows exactly who she is. To Devansh, Adhira is everything he should stay away from: Too young. Too fierce. Too distracting. Too close to home. She tests his patience, challenges his discipline, and awakens emotions he has buried for years. He tells himself she is just his best friend's little sister... But she is no longer a little girl. When the worlds of Punjab's warmth and fire meet Maharashtra's grace and resilience, sparks aren't just expected-they are inevitable. But this love story isn't simple. It is forbidden. Complicated. Messy. And heartbreakingly beautiful. Will Adhira continue hating the man who seems to know her better than she knows herself? Or will Devansh's carefully controlled world fall apart when he realizes he is falling for the one girl he should never touch? A story of clashes, unspoken emotions, cultural beauty, forbidden love, and destiny that refuses to listen.
