39 parts Complete 'No kisses.'
'Uh, what?'
'No kissing on the mouth. It's too personal,' Ivan says.
Is the guy trying to get him to bed or trying to offend him?
'So is fucking,' Riyaan says, voice a little irritated.
* * *
23-year-old Riyaan raised as an orphan, dreams of love, care and a family of his own, meets a 31-year-old Ivan, sceptical about love, relationships and family.
Riyaan considers himself a lover, with a romantic ideology of heart, body and soul. Unfortunately for him, he can only get close to Ivan's body, but not his heart and soul, which he claims to belong to his ex-lover.
Despite a no-strings-attached arrangement, Riyaan finds himself falling hard for Ivan. Not realising that somewhere between falling in love and having his feelings reciprocated, there's heartbreak that is all-consuming and soul-shattering.
A complete HEA.
No cheating involved
