DORIAN

My chances of getting the job were shrinking with every rushed step I took through the towering gates of Vale Enterprise. I paused for a second to check my watch—and instantly regretted it.

Who the hell shows up late to an interview for a job that sounds too good to be true?

Apparently, me. Of course, me.

My palms were already clammy just thinking about it, each step closer to the front desk another inch closer to a no.

No company wants to hire someone who can’t even be punctual. And just to make matters worse? My resume didn’t exactly scream “CFO material.”

“I’m here for the interview. The Chief Financial Officer position. I think…” I added the last part in a hushed mutter, hoping the receptionist wouldn’t catch how uncertain I sounded.

She gave me a tight smile and started tapping away at the landline in front of her.

“Well, Mr. Keene. You’re late. I assume you already know that.” Her voice had a bite to it, and I curled my fingers into fists inside my pockets, scrambling for something—anything—to say.

“I mean, yeah, I know… but I have a solid explanation. Traffic was a nightmare, and then, right outside the building, someone splashed mud all over me. I had to run home to change. I couldn’t just show up smelling like…”

She cut me off by turning her attention completely to the call she was making. Not even a blink in my direction.

“Please,” I added, desperate. “I know this looks bad, but… surely there’s some room for…”

She slammed the receiver down with a sharp clack, rolling her eyes before meeting my gaze.

“Third floor. Hall six. You’re already late, so I suggest you stop wasting more time. And between us? Even our janitor talks less than you do.”

Her voice faded out as I bolted for the elevator.

Third floor. Hall six.

Or was it the sixth floor? Hall three?

My mind scrambled for clarity, the receptionist’s voice looping in my head like a scratched record. I swallowed hard and settled on the third floor, hall six.

That sounded right… right?

I punched the button and pulled out my phone, skimming through the notes Ronan had helped me prep last night. Every word, every possible question, drilled into me by that beautiful man’s midnight lectures.

And talking of Vale Enterprise, the building smelled like money, power, and anxiety—all things I didn’t bring with me.

The elevator dinged open and I stepped out, adjusting my tie and slicking back the stubborn curl in my hair. My palms were already a mess, so I wiped them discreetly on my pants.

Gross, yeah. But necessary.

I reached Hall six, took a deep breath, and twisted the handle open with a small creak.

All eyes turned to me the second I stepped in.

A long table with a group of stern-looking people. A dimly lit projector flickering across serious faces. And there was silence so sharp that it cut through me.

“Who are you?” Asked the man at the end of the table, his voice was like steel wrapped in silk.

My mouth went dry. My brain fogged.

“I… I’m Dorian. And a little confused,” I muttered.

There were murmurs. Two security guys began making their way toward me.

‘How did I get here?’

I tried to rewind the moment, piece together the steps—but it was like someone had scrubbed the memory clean.

“Dorian Keene? Applying for the CFO role?” The man asked, narrowing his eyes.

“Yes,” I answered carefully, holding my file tighter, trying to seem composed when I absolutely wasn’t. “I was told my interview was here.”

“This is Hall three, Mr. Keene. Your interview is in Hall six.”

My heart dropped.

And that’s when it hit me—this wasn’t the interview room.

I blinked at the plaque on the wall beside me.

Hall three.

Shit.

I barely held back the loud curse building in my throat. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry,” I said, backing out quickly as the tension in the room crackled like static.

Get it together, Dorian.

I made it to the real Hall six this time, hesitating only slightly before opening the door.

Inside was a woman seated at a desk, her expression unreadable. “Mr. Keene?” She asked. I nodded, forcing a breath out. “You’re late,” she said bluntly.

I opened my mouth to explain but promptly shut it. I had already done enough damage for one morning.

“Let’s begin,” she said, flipping open a folder as the door behind me creaked open.

And then he walked in.

A man in every possible sense of the word.

Tall—easily 6'5. Blue eyes that could freeze time. Broad shoulders. Lips that looked like they belonged in a sin.

“Mr. Keene,” he said, his voice smooth and commanding. “You can consider me the second interviewer.”

He extended a hand. I took it immediately, my smile automatic, my thoughts not so much.

His voice rang in my ears like déjà vu. Familiar. Too familiar.

Was he… the same man from the other hall? Or am I losing it?

“I’m sorry, have we met before?” I asked, my brows furrowed slightly.

He smiled, and the damn room lit up.

“Highly unlikely,” he said, that calm tone not giving anything away. “But not totally impossible.”

One look at those eyes again and—God help me—I already knew I would be completely ruined for the rest of this interview.

    RONAN“Mr. Keene, it's morning. Wake up!” I said, tapping Dorian gently on his shoulder. He stirred in his sleep, not waking up. A smile appeared on my lips suddenly before I proceeded to tap him again. “What now?” He groaned lazily, his eyes shut. “It’s past 7 AM, sleeping beauty.” I replied, folding my arms over my chest. His eyes flipped open and he bounced off the couch. “Oh shit! Caspian Vale is going to eat me raw. Fuck!” He screamed for a moment. Then, he turned to my direction, “Damn it, Ronan. Why didn't you wake me up?”I scoffed. “And what the hell did you think I was doing before I told you the time?”He locked his eyes onto mine. “You’ve got to be kidding me.” I shook my head, feeling sorry for him. Dorian started pulling off his socks, shirts and pants. He winced at me before he darted into the room. I didn't wait any longer. I followed him in. His hand trembled as he opened the wardrobe and grabbed a clean shirt and trousers. He threw them at me and I managed to

    CASPIANI slipped back onto the bed, my limbs heavy from frustration, the air in my room thick with something I couldn’t quite define. Netflix was still running—my last failed attempt at distraction. As I reached for the remote, something new appeared under “Popular Now.”Young Royals.I had seen the name floating around before but never gave it much thought. Swedish royalty. Coming-of-age. Boys falling for each other under the weight of the crown.My curiosity won over caution at the tags, but still, I clicked play.The opening scenes were mellow enough: fancy boarding schools, complicated family dynamics, too-perfect uniforms. But there was something simmering beneath the surface—the kind of tension that felt familiar. Like the kind that buzzed in the elevator when Dorian smiled at me like he was made of mischief and temptation.And then it hit.The scene. That scene.The boys were kissing, fumbling, and needy. One of them dropped to his knees. The other gasped—his fingers tangled

    CASPIANI slammed the door behind me harder than necessary, the echo of it rattling through the small hall like my own boiling thoughts. The air in my mansion felt too still and quiet. And that silence only amplified the chaos inside me.Fucking Dorian.The elevator ride had been the longest three minutes of my life. His cologne still lingered in the back of my mind—soft citrus with something woodsy beneath. He had stood too close, looking like sin dipped in honey. Smiling like he knew things. Giving me those soft, teasing glances like I was his dirty little secret.And God help me—I wanted to be at that moment. I didn't even know how I turned myself into a bitch. Like, I fucking had my eyes fixed on him, stealing the same glances he had on me. Perhaps, I started first and he reciprocated. I tossed my briefcase on the marble console, tugged at my tie as if it were the very thing choking me. I could still see the way his lips parted when he stammered. The glint in his eyes when he tr

    DORIANNikki couldn’t even finish the sentence. Her scream echoed through the room, primal and filthy, as her pussy clenched around him.From where I stood, I saw it happen—her body writhing, her back arching as creamy white liquid poured out of her.My cock throbbed so hard that it hurt.Ronan didn’t stop.“Why so quick?” He muttered, his voice dark and focused. “Let’s cum together again.”“I can’t wait,” she panted. “I’m close… I…”Her voice cut off in another choked scream as her orgasm tore through her again. Her legs wrapped tight around his waist like a vice.Two orgasms in a roll? Am I dreaming? And Ronan?He braced himself over her, thrusting harder, deeper. His balls slapped against her ass with a rhythm that felt unholy.“I’m gonna fill you up,” he said between gritted teeth.“Yes, Ronan. I want all of it,” she begged, barely able to form words.He growled, leaned closer, one hand wrapping around her throat as his body slammed into hers one last time.“Fuck…!”He stilled. H

    DORIAN As I left the company, I couldn’t bring myself to go to church—or the bar, or anywhere remotely useful.Ronan’s house. That’s where I drifted to. I don't have anywhere to stay, so yeah… I'm stuck with him. Today’s his off-day, or maybe it isn’t—I don’t even know anymore. He told me something earlier this morning, but the memory is tangled up in my brain fog again.Maybe it’s the seizures. However, I forgot to take my meds this morning again. And now, my thoughts are unraveling like thread from a cheap shirt.The cab pulled up in front of Ronan’s place.Thank God I still remembered this. If not, I would have been dropped far off my destination and end up getting stranded. After I exited the car, I stared out the house a second too long until the driver called me back to reality.“Hey, man. You haven’t paid me.” His voice dragged me from the fog.“Oh shit. Sorry. My mind’s been everywhere lately,” I muttered, digging my fingers into my pocket and handing him a crumpled note.H

Mentally. Emotionally. Even spiritually.My head pounded like there was a live concert inside it and the drummer had beef with my soul. I placed my right hand on the door, hoping the universe would grant me some peace. But no. No waiting, no thinking. I had to go.Go where, you ask? Home?HA! What home?I don’t even have one anymore.
