Rent, Lust and Forbidden Kisses

We struck a deal...one I never thought

I'd find myself making. I'm doing my best not to pass judgment, but it does carry a tinge of shame.

Rent was hanging over me, and I simply didn't have the funds. Despite my love for the bustling city and all the efforts I've put in to thrive, a series of tough years, a gut-wrenching breakup, and a personal matter I can't discuss left me financially drained, hitting rock bottom.

And then there's Abhinav.

Wealthier than most can fathom, devilishly attractive with a smile that could charm anyone, and a glint in his eyes that feels exclusively meant for me.

He's the owner of the building, and now, once a month, when rent comes due, he claims a part of me that I never thought I'd agree to give.
The taste of his lips is intoxicating, and the way he moans my name in pleasure is etched into my memory like a scorching brand.

We sealed our arrangement with a kiss, and I'm painfully aware that the next low point for me will lead to nothing but heartache and despair.
