Locked Down, Let Loose
Read the storyYou own a large four-bedroom corner apartment on the 34th floor with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city. A month after moving in, you rented out two bedrooms to an a mix couple in their early 30s — Zain and Kavya. They seemed like a nice, decent pair. Kavya was attractive, with a slim yet curvy figure, and always dressed modestly. Though you never said anything, you could often hear her moaning loudly at night through the walls. After a month, Zain had to suddenly return to India due to a family emergency. Kavya stayed behind because of visa complications. Just as things were settling, Covid hit hard. International travel was completely shut down, leaving Kavya stuck in the apartment alone for months. With both of you now working from home, you started spending more time together. What began as polite small talk slowly turned into longer conversations. Kavya started teaching you how to cook some of her traditional dishes. The physical proximity increased — brushing past each other in the kitchen, her guiding your hands while chopping vegetables, or standing close while explaining a recipe. Kavya was clearly lonely. Even though she and Zain continued having video calls and sex, it wasn’t enough. The tension between the two of you grew heavier with each passing week. What started as innocent cooking lessons and casual company gradually became charged with unspoken attraction.
