Room Mates #1

Light Me Up

Rate this book
"He was the first man to ever turn me on. When he flipped my switch and lit me up that first time, I knew he was it for me. There would never be another.

It was unfortunate, then, that he didn’t even notice me. Sure, he appreciated my usefulness but he never really saw me when he was using me. To him, I was just another tool.

Before you get too hard on him, though, I should tell you something about myself. Something important.

I am a lamp.
Yes, you read that right.
A lamp.

ahh the age old tale of lamp gets struck by Thor's lightning and gains sentience, lamp meets boy and falls in love, lamp jerks boy off with its cord and boy sucks light bulb, etc etc boy and lamp live happily ever after 💖

beautiful 🤧

Jake’s hands were gentle as he grasped my bulb and turned. I gasped. It never felt that good when I turned it myself. His hands were so soft, so good.

I stroked my hand up and down the arm of the lamp with gentle, yet firm, pressure. I could feel the reverberations of Lux’s groan up my arm and it immediately seared down my body to my cock.

“My name is Lux,” I told him. “Remember that. I want to hear you scream it.”

“Good boy,” The lamp crooned. “Now, wrap me around yourself. Just like that.”


3 stars for the laughssssss

I saw this pop up in one of the FB rec groups and I am such a curious person that I couldn't ignore it 😂😂

This was absolutely ridiculous but in the best way! I will never be able to look at my desk lamp the same way ever again 😂

2.5 stars. Before I went to bed last night, I took a moment and looked at my bedside lamp. So bright…so slender…is turned on by my beck and call. What’s not to like? And, by like, I mean really like it. Much like how Jake felt about his trusty lamp, Lux here. Jake, who was struggling with priapism and Lux, his faithful lamp, who wanted to help him out is how this started. And he did. Boy, oh boy. Yep. But no relationship is perfect and these two battled their raging feelings and even the introduction of another party, but it all ended on a pleasant note. I once tried to commit adultery with a dresser. Lots of mixed messages and some very uncomfortable splinters later, and it was over. Mrs. Topside never knew about the attempted affair, but, honestly, I feel that I’m a better husband for being honest to all my Topsiders out there. Don’t I find the strangest eroticas these days?!

Surpassingly dramatic for an erotic story about a man being intimate with his sentient desk lamp who is alive by the power of Thor

Sabrina Cross, the mind you share with us!

No one made me read this. That's the worst part.

Давайте так, в кінці ця лампа стає людиною, тому бал накинула, але до цього я думала ставити 3, сюжету немає, як звично для такого жанру? але завжди після прочитання подібних історії дивуюсь людям, які таке вигадують😂

Sentient lamp smut.
Do I need to add more?
It was ridiculous but fun.
(Spoilers, I guess? Do we care about spoilers in two second erotica?)
Thor appearing at the end and turning Lux into a real boy was a bit too ridiculous, but whatever, it was still an entertaining read.

“Dude, you’re a fucking lamp!” I wave my arms at it, emphasizing my point. “That doesn’t mean I don’t have feelings!”

Esto es una novella muy cortita, sobre la fijación de un objeto con un hombre.

Es la primera vez que leo a la autora Sabrina Cross, y su historia me pareció que tenía potencial desde la creatividad planteada de la premisa, pero a su vez sentí que a la trama le faltó fuerza, desarrollo, una verdadera construcción.
La parte spicy está bien, es bastante original, pero no es espectacular.
En mi mente se me cruzó el logo de Pixar, ¡y eso no me ayudó demasiado! 😂

Jack y Lux por momentos me causaban ternura, y por momentos era un WTF 🤣, igualmente voy a aclarar que esto es un SOR, lo que se conoce como "romance con objetos conscientes" o "romance con objetos sintientes", o también se conoce como "romance inanimado", lo cual no sería algo para todo público.

La advertencia que la autora agrego al principio del libro me arrancó una risa, bien al estilo "no seas tonto, no intentes esto en casa, esto no es una guía".
Ojalá la historia hubiera sido más larga para darle tiempo a la trama, igualmente para pasar un rato está bien.

Kol kas geriausia perskaityta knyga šiais metais. Stalinės lempos ir bičo iš komunalkės meilės istorija. Nekantrauju ja pasidalinti su savo (k)literatūrinėm kekšėm.

⭐️ 3/5 – This is what sweet and horny enlightenment looks like. 😌
🌶 3/5 – Cord-wrapping, socket-sucking, wattage-pulsing chaos. 💀

Well fuck me sideways and call me Edison. 💀💡
I wasn't prepared for a horny-ass lamp named Lux with a goddamn Thor upgrade to be out here zapping dicks and stealing hearts like that. What the actual fuck. 😂

This little chaotic gem stars Jake, a regular-ass college student, and Lux, a sentient fucking desk lamp—yep, you read that right—who catches feelings, has abandonment issues, and eventually gets turned into a man thanks to Thor, the literal God of Thunder. And somehow… it works?? 🥹

Jake, our confused but devoted human, is absolutely down bad for Lux—a talking, glowing, sometimes-horny lamp. The result? A short, steamy, batshit bonkers romp that left me laughing, blinking in secondhand arousal, and screaming “WHAT THE FUCK” on every other page. 🤣

The story is wild, bizarre, steamy as fuck, and surprisingly sweet. It’s giving crack fic energy with the emotional payoff of a possessive softie who just wants to keep his lamp forever. Like… I ended this book glowing, pun very much intended, like I just walked out of an IKEA roleplay session and got railed in the lighting section. 💀✨

This book is NOT to be taken seriously. Like, at all. Ever. And that’s the fun. One second it’s cord-handjobs, bulb-blowies, and electric orgasms that literally lit up the room, the next it’s “don’t take my lamp boyfriend away, he’s mine!” 🥺💞

Are you ready to get turned on by a piece of home decor? 'Cause babe… objectophilia is real and smutty fiction is out here educating me. 🤓📚

This book is the perfect chaotic-ass palate cleanser between all the heavy, angsty novels that leave you emotionally drained. Read this when you need a break, need a laugh, or need to question your life choices. 😌💡

Quotes:

“I know you like it rough but do be gentle. I’m more breakable than most of your partners.”

“Sorry.” Fuck me. I was apologizing to a goddamn lamp.

“Good boy,” The lamp crooned. “Now, wrap me around yourself. Just like that.” I loosely wrapped the cord around my dick and moved to prop myself against the headboard.
-
“My name is Lux,” I told him. “Remember that. I want to hear you scream it.”
-
Could cum on a cord short out a lamp, and other questions I was afraid to ask.
-
My goddamn lamp just insulted me. Twice.
What the fuck did I do to deserve this?
-
This was weird. It was really fucking weird. Then again, so was fucking a lamp so what did I know about weird?
-
Lux said nothing. I picked him up and set him on my lap, wrapping my arms around him.

“He’s mine. You can’t have him.” Protectiveness surged through me. I didn’t know who this man was, but he wasn’t taking Lux from me. Not now. Not ever.
-
“Will you stop referring to him as a lamp? He is a person.”

What the eff did I just read...?

Stuff my Kindle Book - 30 Pages
MM Lamp Romance
Just... Weird
I have nothing to other than just read it... It's only 30 Pages and it had me laughing so it hit 4 Stars for sheet unbelievability that I actually allowed a friend to bully me into reading it.

This was ridiculous and adorable and weird and totally fabulous!
There is a lot of seduction, but there is also some big feels in here.
The whole thing is 28 pages long so do yourself a favour and spend an hour giggling your way through this book.

Fun sentient object romance

So this was absolutely an OTP romance between a college aged dude and his lamp, but it was well written and fun. It was short, sweet, and unique, which is what I’m looking for when I read books like this.

Spice: 4/5

Triggers: drug use, sex while intoxicated, drinking

It was a short story about a horned-up Pixar lamp. Not much plot or character development, but then again does it need it?

If you’ve ever looked at the Pixar logo and thought…well maybe… 🤔😉😉

This was so much fun! A sentient lamp with a very interesting backstory has been pining after his owner. I loved every page and wanted this to be so much longer! All the stars!
