Hi venkygeethu

Thank you so much for your thoughtful words, it truly means a lot to hear that my writing has made an impact. I’m so glad you’ve taken the time to read my stories and share your thoughts!


And wait a second… have you been thinking I’m a guy all this time?  Just to clear things up, I’m actually a female author! And yes, female authors also can write good romantic and erotic stories. Actually we can also make them more sensuous (As we observe all things)

Also, I really want you to know that you are the reason I’m still posting here. I had decided to stop writing on this site due to the lack of engagement and even announced I was going to leave. But your messages and your support completely changed my mind. 

You reminded me why I love sharing stories in the first place, and your encouragement gave me the push I needed to keep going. So truly, thank you for that!

Can’t wait to share more with you soon.

With warm regards

Scene 13: Night by the Fire (Third Day: Night)
 
The fire had burned low, reduced to a quiet nest of glowing embers. They pulsed faintly against the dark, breathing soft light over the sand. The sound of the ocean had changed with the tide,its rhythm slower, deeper, like a giant heart beating far out in the black.
 
Above, the sky stretched clear and cold, the stars sharp enough to pierce the air.
 
Kavya drew the shared shawl closer around them, tucking it snug so that it covered both of their bodies, holding in warmth and closeness. She brushed off a layer of fine sand that clung to her skirt.
 
The night carried a deeper coolness now,gentle, yet insistent enough that she felt it along her arms and neck. She glanced at Naveen, who crouched near the embers, coaxing them carefully, his hands steady despite the exhaustion etched on his face.
 
The orange light carved faint hollows under his eyes, catching the edge of his jaw and the curve of his wrist as he moved.
 
When he looked up briefly, the faint glow in his eyes reflected the firelight, soft and unguarded.
 
Something about that stillness, the quiet strength in his manner, the patience of his movements, made her chest tighten. “He’s steady… so steady… even when everything is falling apart,” she thought. “I can trust him… I can lean on him.”
 
Without a word, she shifted slightly, and the shawl dbangd over both of them moved with her. Their bodies were close beneath it, touching lightly, sharing a pocket of warmth, though the fabric above separated them.
 
The air between them grew warmer, carrying the faint scent of smoke, salt, and crushed berries still lingering on her skin. “So close… it feels… natural. But why does it make my heart race?”
 
He noticed, of course. For a moment, he hesitated, then adjusted the shawl gently, spreading it over both of them, ensuring the warmth stayed trapped beneath.
 
Their bodies pressed together softly beneath it, a subtle, comforting contact that neither had spoken of but both felt.
 
The gesture was simple, yet when his hand brushed near her arm, Kavya felt a small rush of warmth, as if the air itself had shifted. “She’s so trusting… I can’t let her down,” he thought. “She’s the only person I have here… she’s precious. And… attractive, even now.”

Neither spoke. The silence between them wasn’t awkward, it was alive, textured by awareness. The faint hiss of the embers, the whisper of the breeze moving through leaves, the steady rhythm of their breathing, all folded together into a single, quiet pulse of shared space.
 
Kavya settled a little closer, letting her shoulder rest lightly against his side beneath the shared shawl. The warmth that radiated from him was steady and grounding; she could feel it directly through the thin fabric pressed against her.
 
Her hair brushed his sleeve, and she caught the faint scent of salt and earth clinging to his skin. When she closed her eyes, she could sense the subtle movement of his chest, the slow, even breath of someone weary but present. “It’s safe… being near him… I don’t have to be afraid. And… why do I want to be closer?”
 
For a long time, they sat like that,unmoving, letting the silence speak for them. The fire threw shifting shadows across the sand, lighting their faces in brief, tender flickers.
 
Inside him, Naveen felt something he hadn’t felt in days,quiet gratitude. The warmth beneath the shared shawl, touching her lightly, steadied the corners of his mind that had been frayed by loss and fear.
 
He glanced at her profile,the soft curve of her cheek lit by firelight, the faint furrow in her brow smoothed now in calm,and thought how remarkable it was that this stranger, adrift in the same vast emptiness, had become an anchor. “She trusts me… she relies on me. I won’t fail her… but she’s beautiful. And now, this closeness… it stirs something I must control.”
 
Kavya shifted slightly beneath the shawl, the soft brush of her body against his side sending a whisper of warmth through him.
 
For a fleeting second, he could feel the faint rhythm of her heartbeat where their shoulders met. “This closeness… it’s stirring something… I have to keep it careful. I can’t ruin this trust.”
 
Kavya opened her eyes briefly, glancing at him from the edge of the shared shawl.
 
The firelight traced the planes of his face, the tired lines, the calm in his expression, the hint of reflection as he watched the glowing coals.

“He’s so composed… it makes me feel safe. And… something else. Something unspoken,” she thought. She didn’t speak, but a faint smile tugged at her lips before she returned her gaze to the fire.
 
Naveen noticed the smile, the way it softened her features. For the first time in what felt like forever, he felt the tension in his chest ease.
 
He realized he hadn’t thought about fear for several minutes, not about what they’d lost or what awaited beyond the morning. This moment, quiet and real, had replaced it.
 
He let out a slow breath, releasing the last remnants of the day. “We’re both still here… and that’s enough. But I notice her… and this nearness… it stirs something I can’t name yet.”
 
The embers pulsed again, brighter for a moment, casting a warm sheen over their faces.
 
Kavya’s hand had fallen close to his, not touching in a deliberate way, but close enough beneath the shawl that the space between them carried its own subtle electricity, a quiet hum neither could ignore. “I can feel him… and it’s comforting… and a little… unsettling,” she thought, aware of a gentle attraction she hadn’t expected.
 
Naveen tilted his head back slightly, gazing toward the stars.
 
The sky was impossibly wide, the constellations sharp and scattered like grains of salt. “It’s strange,” he said softly, not turning his head, voice almost part of the wind. “How peaceful it can look from here… as if nothing ever happened.” “And yet… I can’t ignore her nearness. It’s stirring something. I must be careful.”
 
Kavya followed his gaze upward, voice equally quiet. “Maybe that’s why it helps,to look up. The sky doesn’t remember the storms.” “I can forget… at least for tonight… except for the way he makes me feel.”
 
He glanced down at her, a faint curve at the corner of his mouth. “Maybe we shouldn’t either. Not tonight.”
 
She met his eyes, firelight flickering between them, and nodded. “Not tonight,” she whispered. “Just this moment… nothing else matters… though it feels like something else is there… hidden, waiting.”
 
They sat like that until the embers dulled to ash, the last orange glow lingering before surrendering to the soft silver of moonlight. The warmth between them,quiet, human, wordless,remained, the shared shawl holding them close.

.

[shailu4ever]

Naveen wanted to thank her, to tell her that her presence made the dark less endless, but he didn’t speak. Some things were safer in silence. “She knows… she feels it too. Words aren’t needed… but I notice her, and it’s stirring… I can’t act on it, not now.”
 
Kavya felt the same stillness settle over her, a peace that came not from comfort but from nearness.
 
She had expected loneliness, the constant ache of what was gone,but instead there was this: the steady warmth of another life beside her beneath the shawl, the simple truth that she wasn’t invisible in the dark. “I can rest… I can trust… and yet, my heart notices him. Why does it feel… awake?”
 
The night grew colder. The embers faded from orange to a deep, pulsing red, and the moon climbed higher, washing everything in silver light. Their shared shawl had become a cocoon, holding in the last of the warmth.
 
She could feel his breath occasionally stir a loose strand of her hair, and though she knew she should shift away, she didn’t. “It’s safe… it’s human… I want to stay close… even if it stirs something.”
 
Naveen remained still, aware of every small movement,the rise of her shoulder with each exhale, the soft brush of her hair against his arm beneath the shawl. There was no urgency, no trespass,only the fragile balance of proximity.
 
He felt her relax, the weight of her body easing as sleep began to pull at her. “I have to guard this… protect her… but the closeness… it’s intoxicating.”
 
The world had fallen utterly silent. Only the faint murmur of the waves, the rustle of a distant palm, and the soft rhythm of their shared breathing beneath the shawl remained.
 
There was intimacy in that silence,not born of desire, but of recognition. Two hearts, equally scarred by loss, had found momentary refuge in each other’s nearness.
 
The warmth that passed between them was something primal, almost sacred,a reminder that even in ruin, human connection endured, and the hint of desire, unspoken, quietly lingered.
 
Gradually, sleep claimed them. Kavya’s head slipped against his shoulder, and he tilted slightly toward her without thinking. The shawl rose and fell with their breaths, holding them close, their bodies brushing beneath it, as if the night itself were guarding their rest.
 
And there, under the wide, unbroken sky, they slept,two souls adrift but not alone, wrapped in the quiet heat of shared survival, the soft pulse of warmth and subtle, unacknowledged attraction that neither dared to name.

Hi Rajesh

Haha, looks like my story’s sprinting while you’re trying to catch it!

I promise I’m not trying to outrun you — I guess my imagination’s on a caffeine rush lately! I’m so glad you’re enjoying how it’s unfolding. Your enthusiasm keeps the story racing ahead!

Scene 14: A Night of Quiet Warmth (Third Day: Night)
 
The moon had risen high, its silver glow spilling across the sand, casting a soft, ethereal light that filtered through the shelter. The fire had long burned out, leaving only the faintest trace of warmth that clung to the air, like a memory of the flame.
 
The night had grown cooler, the breeze brushing lightly against Kavya's bare arms and shoulders. It was the kind of coolness that didn’t bite, but whispered against the skin, reminding her of the vastness of the island, of the uncertainty that still lingered in the dark corners of her mind.
 
She shifted slightly under the shared shawl, the fabric tugging gently as she adjusted it to cover her more fully. It had been a long day, full of exploration and new discoveries, and now, as the night pressed in around them, the tension of the day seemed to settle in her body, leaving her with a soft, restless ache.
 
Her breath was shallow as she hugged the shawl tighter, hoping it would shield her from the growing chill, though she knew the warmth they had shared earlier that evening was already beginning to fade.
 
Then, suddenly, she felt it, gentle at first, a slight brush of warmth against her side. It was unexpected, a sensation unfamiliar but not unwelcome.
 
Before she could process it fully, she felt the solid weight of an arm slip around her, pulling her closer in the quiet dark beneath the shawl. The subtle pressure startled her for a moment, causing her heart to skip a beat.
 
For a few seconds, she lay completely still, as if suspended in the moment, her pulse quickening as she realized the arm encircling her was Naveen’s. He was asleep, his movements instinctive, a silent response to the cool night air, a subconscious attempt to shield himself from the chill.
 
His touch, though unintentional, felt reassuring in its firm warmth, his body pressing lightly against hers beneath the shared shawl. “He’s so close… yet I feel so safe… so warm. I’ve never felt this before,” she thought, a faint heat rising in her chest.
 
Her breath caught. His skin was warm against hers, the rhythmic pulse of his chest faintly detectable under the thin fabric of the shawl. It was an intimate closeness, one that she hadn’t expected, hadn’t thought she would find in such a fragile, uncertain time.

.

[shailu4ever]

.

 
The feeling of him, his body so close, was calming in a way she hadn’t anticipated. Her mind raced for a moment, but then slowly, her body seemed to respond to the quiet pull of his warmth.
 
She shifted slightly, a slow, deliberate movement, leaning in just enough that their bodies aligned, the edge of the shawl pooling over them both.
 
The warmth from him seeped into her, filling the empty spaces left by the cool night air, grounding her in a way she hadn’t known she needed. His arm, so casually dbangd over her, felt like a protective weight, a silent offering of care, without expectation, without pressure.
 
Her hand rested lightly against the fabric covering his chest, her fingertips tracing the soft rise and fall of his breathing. The sensation of him there, solid and steady, seemed to melt the tension that had been coiling in her shoulders since the storm.
 
She could feel the steady beat of his heart, faint yet reassuring, and she let herself sink into the softness of the moment, her cheek resting just slightly against the warmth of his shoulder.
 
Her mind wandered back to the day, the chaos of the storm, their shared silence in the aftermath, and the closeness that had grown between them so quickly.
 
She hadn’t expected this, this unexpected intimacy, this simple but profound act of care that made the isolation of the island seem a little more bearable. She thought about the way his eyes had softened in the firelight, the quiet gentleness in his movements, and now this small but significant gesture of comfort beneath the shawl. “He’s steady… and I feel drawn to him. I can’t stop noticing it. Something in me stirs just being near him,” she thought.
 
As the night deepened, she tried to still herself, to allow the exhaustion of the day to pull her under. But it was impossible.
 
Her heart beat a little faster now, not from fear, but from the closeness that seemed to pulse between them, from the strange, intoxicating sense of being seen, of being cared for in a way she hadn’t felt in years.
 
The world outside, the storm, the isolation, the uncertainty, seemed to dissolve, leaving only the soft rhythm of his breathing, the whisper of waves, and the faint warmth radiating from his body through the shawl.
 
Then she felt it more clearly, his hand, moving ever so slightly in his sleep, brushing along her side and almost gently pulling her toward him.

.

[shailu4ever]

.

 
It was unconscious, unintentional, yet the contact sent a ripple of warmth through her that traveled deeper than the chill of the night. A flutter of something unfamiliar stirred inside her, a quiet ache of curiosity, a hint of longing she hadn’t expected to feel so soon.
 
The sensation was tender, comforting, and somehow exhilarating all at once, and she let herself sink into it, leaning subtly into the pull, her body softening against him.
 
Her breath caught lightly as she realized the fullness of the moment, his closeness, the gentle pressure of his arm, the quiet, unspoken connection beneath the shawl.
 
She liked him. She liked the way his warmth anchored her, the way his presence seemed protective without being possessive. There was a deep, pleasurable comfort in simply being near him, in feeling his body so near, his steady heartbeat echoing against her own.
 
She imagined the strength in his arms, the steadiness in his chest, and it made her pulse quicken in a way that was both soothing and thrilling. “He’s older, and yet… there’s a gentleness in him that draws me in. I can’t deny it,” she thought, a soft fire kindling inside.
 
Slowly, she allowed herself to relax into the sensation, letting the faint pull of his hand guide her slightly closer, a delicate, wordless invitation she was more than willing to accept.
 
Her head tilted slightly, her cheek brushing against the warmth of his shoulder, and the quiet intimacy made her feel simultaneously safe and awake, alive in a way the long days of fear had dulled.
 
She could feel the subtle rise and fall of his chest, the gentle pressure of his arm cradling her side, and the shared heat of their bodies under the shawl created a cocoon that felt almost sacred.
 
Her thoughts wandered, a soft, pleasurable awareness of him threading through her exhaustion. She wanted nothing more than to simply stay here, in this quiet, suspended moment, feeling the warmth, the protection, the closeness.
 
A faint, unspoken desire stirred within her, not urgent, not desperate, but a gentle, compelling pull that made her pulse race and her body lean in ever so slightly, as if in response to the quiet invitation of his sleep.
 
Even as her eyelids drooped and her breathing began to deepen, she held onto the subtle heat between them, letting it soothe her, excite her, and calm her all at once.
 
She felt cherished in the simplest, most profound way, drawn into a closeness that needed no words, a touch that conveyed more than safety, a presence that made the vast, indifferent island feel smaller, warmer, and alive.
 
The night stretched on, the cool air brushing against them both, but it no longer felt so cold. His presence next to her, the warmth of his body so close beneath the shawl, was like an anchor, steadying her, grounding her.
 
The subtle tension in her body eased away, and she felt herself drifting, a slow, peaceful surrender to the shared space between them.
 
Eventually, her eyelids fluttered closed, and her breathing slowed. She let the silence fill the space around them, the quiet presence of him beside her, their bodies touching beneath the shawl, wrapping her in a soft cocoon of warmth.
 
In that small, intimate space, where words were unnecessary and expectations nonexistent, she allowed herself to finally relax completely.
 
And as sleep took her, she held onto that warmth, the unspoken connection, the gentle comfort of knowing someone else was there, close and safe, through the dark, uncertain hours of the night.
 
The shawl rose and fell with their breaths, a private cocoon of shared warmth and subtle desire, the faint stirring of attraction threading quietly between them, unspoken but undeniable.

Thanks shailu for your reply and I am really happy that you continue to write stories in this site and I had been a little part of it in making you progress. And sorry for thinking you as a male writer it's because many male writers write in female names. I am not a gender discriminating guy male or female all are one in the creation of God and I respect the thoughts of women too. Really I am surprised to see you write continuously without taking a long break. As I thought you were a male writer my response was quite different before but after knowing that you are a female writer I am glad to know that we can have a better idea of women's desire and thoughts. Your writing as usual kindles a spark of love and emotion along with sex and that too for the generation of 90's kids it makes quite captivating. Wishing you to continue more stories that too with more emotions and love along with sex. Coming to this story it reminds me of William Shakespeare's words "Age can't whither n nor custom stale Her infinite variety"

Hi Venkygeethu


Thank you so much for your thoughtful and encouraging response! I truly appreciate your compliments and your support throughout my writing journey. You are being modest, your contribution was not a little part, I was literally stopped writing for this site.  You are the main reason, I am continuing to write.  You and Prasanna were the two people that stood up and convinced me to continue to write.  It’s wonderful to hear that my stories have resonated with you, and it means a lot to me that you’ve been a part of this process in your own way.


I completely understand the mix-up about my gender. It seems to happen often with me. In fact, many people have been confused and some have even asked me directly, so you’re definitely not alone in that regard. But I really appreciate the respect and open-mindedness you’ve shown toward writers, regardless of gender. It’s always refreshing to see that kind of understanding, as every writer brings something unique to the table.


I’m glad to hear that my stories have sparked emotions for you, especially with the way they balance love, desire, and the complexities of human connection. It’s always my aim to explore these themes in a way that feels genuine and relatable, and knowing that it connects with readers keeps me motivated to keep writing.

I must admit, I wasn’t familiar with the Shakespeare quote you mentioned, and I had to look it up. It’s a beautiful description of something truly timeless and ever-captivating, much like the themes I hope to explore in my writing. Thank you for sharing that reference with me, it’s definitely something I’ll remember.

Thanks again for your thoughtful response. I’m excited to continue sharing stories that hopefully evoke even more emotion, love, and complexity. Your feedback inspires me to keep writing

I truly appreciate your continued support

With warm regards

we are fortunate to have a female  writer of the calibre  of Shailu ji amongst us, who is also  sensitive and responsive.....me despite being much married and having travelled with female friends and colleagues these many years, still the female psyche remains an  enigma,  never cracked or mastered....personally for me, this inability to decipher their thought process despite much closeness, makes feel me helpless, inadequate and apprehensive....and unable to dwelve deep with no difinitive conclusions,  is probably the reason many men becoming blunt and  dismissive....sometimes very open, childishly straight forward, sometimes totally closed n withdrawn ...these many shades of a women is what makes them fascinating.....

now having Shailu ji with us, I would request Shailu4ever to take up a plot, a family and Office ( both) narrative from a female perspective and educate us, her loyalists/ faithfuls, about what a female actually is....Plz Shailu ji.   thanks

Scene 15: Dawn of the Fourth Day (Fourth Day: Dawn)
 
The first light of dawn crept softly through the trees, spilling pale gold across the sand and the still-smoldering embers of their fire. The air was cool, brushing against the shore and carrying the faint scent of salt and damp earth. The world was quiet, held in a stillness that felt almost sacred after the turbulence of the previous days.
 
Naveen stirred slightly, his eyes opening before the sun had fully risen. For a moment, he remained still, savoring the quiet of the morning, the delicate hush that seemed to settle over the island after the long night. Then, almost instinctively, he realized, his arm was around her, and she was nestled closely against him.
 
Kavya had turned toward him in her sleep, her face hidden against his chest, her small, steady breaths rising and falling in a gentle rhythm. The shared shawl they had wrapped around themselves was dbangd loosely over both of them, offering warmth and shielding them from the cool morning air. It was a simple thing, but under it, they were completely entwined, the soft, warm fabric cocooning them in an intimacy that went beyond words.
 
“The warmth from her… it’s more than just physical. How is it that the closeness feels like this? The way we’re wrapped up, together, without speaking a single word... It feels different. It feels… intimate. But I shouldn’t be thinking this way.”
 
He froze for a moment, not wanting to disturb her. There was something fragile and beautiful in this, her innocence, the way she had allowed herself to rest so fully, and the closeness that had formed between them without words. He could feel the soft rise and fall of her chest with each breath, the warmth of her body against his. The moment was intimate, yes, simply in human connection and shared vulnerability. For the first time in days, Naveen felt a quiet peace, a grounding sense of calm he hadn’t experienced since the storm.
 
His eyes drifted over her features, seeing her as if for the first time in their full, unguarded presence. The gentle curve of her cheek, the slight flush of her skin from sleep, the soft line of her jaw, all caught in the silver-gold light of dawn, made her appear almost ethereal. Every detail, the faint dew of night on her lashes, the way her hair had fallen messily yet perfectly across the shawl and his arm, spoke of quiet grace, a beauty born not from perfection but from authentic, lived experience.
