Prologue

"Why did you choose me?"

"You are the #unexpected that gives the subconscious a hard time."

"Will you tell that subconscious to shoot from the hip?"

"From our discussion so far, we seem to be a match. Not politically affiliated to creeps, intellectually independent..."

"That happened here."

"Are you asking me why I chose your profile on the matrimonial site? Why did you?"

"Yes. And, I asked first."

"Your eyes. And..."

"And?"

"I plead the Fifth."

"I need to know."

"I wanted to kiss you."

"Why don't you? Ooops, that came out...what are you doing?"

"Shhh, lady."

We kissed. Light tentative touch at first. Then, probing. It took a while.

"Hoooah."

"Hoooah, indeed."

"They must be wondering what we are up to in my room. Let's go."

"So, that's what the epics say when an apsara deflowers innocent young men. Ouch! Don't kick me, milady, before the wedding."

"Chalo, milord?"
