Synopsis - Just Roommates

Image
…I padded barefoot into the kitchen for a drink of water, wearing nothing but a pair of panties and my oversized sleep shirt—the kind that practically swallowed me whole. I opened the fridge, grabbed a chilled water bottle, and took a long sip straight from it. That’s when I heard it—the unmistakable sound of someone clearing their throat. Startled, I spun around, my heart leaping into my throat. In my panic, I nearly emptied the entire bottle on the intruder. A male intruder, to be specific. He hissed as the freezing water hit him, but my brain barely registered his discomfort. Because, as ridiculous as it sounds, I was momentarily distracted by how annoyingly gorgeous he was. My thoughts scrambled, and before I could fully process what was happening, I did the only logical thing—I tried to scream. But he was faster. His large hand clamped over my mouth, muffling my voice. I should have been terrified. Instead, my brain chose to notice how good he smelled. Not the time, Le...

Prologue - Just Roommates

  Leah Henderson was petite in every sense of the word. At twenty-four, she was slim, weighing just eighty-three pounds (83 lbs), and stood at five feet three inches (5’3”).

Chapter Four - Just Roommates

Peter The last time I saw Leah, I had longer hair, just a patch of beard, and wasn’t as built as I am now. Maybe she’d recognize me if she focused on my eyes—but she wasn’t. Her gaze was elsewhere. "Oh! Isn't that Leah? We were just about to come down to your floor," Maxwell, the bulky CTO, said. Leah still hadn’t spoken. She stood frozen, deep in thought, completely unaware of what was happening around her. "This is Peter O’Brien, the CEO of Cybernetics," Maxwell continued, attempting introductions. "He’ll be in charge of investigating and resolving the cyberattack." If she was listening, she didn’t show it. Her expression remained distant. She had completely spaced out. Maxwell sighed before stepping beside her and giving her a light tap on the shoulder. "Earth to Leah!" he said, shaking his head. She jolted slightly. "Oh! Sorry, I zoned out," she admitted. Then, realizing she should introduce herself, she turned to me. "Hi! ...
