$Two-Body Problem

Quick Summary

Jun and Mei buy TANDEM, a black-market neural rig designed to let two people feel every sensation in each other’s bodies. They mean to use it to revive a marriage gone numb. Instead, they leave it live—and the next morning, while they’re apart, every forbidden touch comes back doubled. Then two other women appear inside the signal: Vess, the coworker Jun has wanted for a year, and Iris, the client Mei can’t stop watching. What was built for two becomes a four-body feedback loop Jun and Mei can’t shut down—and every attempt to resist only makes it stronger.
