KISS OR KILL, CHERRY? (M×M)
BLURB
Ezren:
Kiss or kill. Those were always the two options left.. until the past walks back into my life in the form of blue eyes, ginger curls, and a tattoo he swears I should remember.
Knox Graye. A diagnosed psychopath. Says he was my brother’s boyfriend. That I left him to die and that I hold the only truth to his death.
He is everywhere. Digging up my lies. Ruining what’s left of my life. Call me ‘Cherry’ like it means something. I swear I hate it. I hate him.
I don’t know if he wants closure, revenge, or just someone to break. Either way, I’m his target and his third option.
Knox:
Everyone thinks I’ve got a loose screw in the head but they're wrong. I lost the whole damn toolbox, buried six feet under with the only person I ever loved.
I've spent six years grieving. Dying in pieces while he rots away in a grave but now? Now someone else walk around in his bones, smiling with his lips like he fuckin’ owns it.
Like I wouldn’t recognize my own goddamn Cherry. Except now he calls himself Ezren.
Cute.
He thinks he has been hiding behind top grades and golden-boy charm, but I built his whole damn maze.
And now that he's close? I’m done with subtlety. I want chaos in his veins, his secrets peeled off like skin. I want to crawl into the part of his head where he still hears his brother’s laugh and whisper: “You were always mine."
He doesn’t know it yet, but I’m going to dismantle him. Brick by fucking brick. And when he finally breaks, I’ll be there to offer him a choice.
“Kiss or kill, Cherry?”

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE- He knows.Knox: I said it six years ago that I’d be back like a thief in the night. And now I am. Exactly like a thief, with the kind of grin you earn from years of knowing you were right. Fifteen minutes. That’s how long I spent making sure he understood. That I wasn’t just back. I was inside his carefully rebuilt life, already peeling it apart. I didn’t need to raise my voice. I just watched until fear started to set in behind his eyes. The kind of fear I live for. We reached the building. The elevator dinged like a countdown. The doors slid open with a hiss, and he stepped in first. Of course he did. Some things just don’t change. Not even him. His dark hair was still messily styled to look unintentional and casual. Always trying so hard to look like he wasn’t trying at all. And the scent, the exact same one from back then, it hit me in the gut. Six years, and it still clung to him like it belonged to him. Cherry. All that time he spent running, hiding, pretending… and he still sm

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO - Watch your back, Raveni.
Ezren: I don't want to lose myself in all of these, but how do you play a game where the only safe choice is the one you hate? Kiss or Kill? ~~~ I blinked slowly, trying to adjust to the harsh light above me. It hurt. My head throbbed with every breath, like someone had taken a sledgehammer to the inside of my skull. The smell of antiseptic, the low humming of machines, and the faint murmur of voices just beyond the door told me where I was. A hospital. What the hell happened? My eyes darted around the bland room until they landed on a figure sitting in the corner, elbows on knees, a designer jacket tossed over the chair like it belonged there. “You fainted,” Eli said quietly. He looked tired but still maintained looking polished, rich, and annoyingly breathtaking. His dark turtleneck clung to his frame, and the Cartier bracelet on his wrist sparkled against the dull hospital walls The scent of his expensive cologne reached me when he stepped closer and I tried to sit up

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE - Chickens.Ezren:Lior believes that only cowards are called chickens. That, with a single ‘shuu,’ they bolt, fleeing into the shadows, even when there’s nothing to fear. Even when it's all pointless.Maybe he was right because I’ve started to think of myself as a chicken. But my story is different, I didn’t retreat from a mere 'shuu'; I fled from a past poised to shatter me – a past tied to a face I never wanted.Since his death, I've lived my life on the run, afraid of my own reflection. I've cloaked myself in a shroud of anonymity, bouncing from city to city and escaped the dark clutches of Blackreach and my father, Alaric Raveni.To him, my existence is an affront; I've been both hunted and haunted. A perfect heir vanished, with a secret he suspects I hold – one that could pierce his empire.I've received cryptic letters, laced with tempting offers to lure me back home. But I would rather watch him and his pride crumble into oblivion than go back to him.Over the years, I’ve learned to blend

Chapter: PROLOGUEVilleybale city || 6 years ago.Knox:He died on that cold night I knew waiting was already pointless. It was cold as shit, my hoodie soaked, shoes caked with mud, and still.. I waited. He died.And what was his boyfriend doing? All I could do was wait like a fool, soaked and shivering, at that goddamned abandoned skatepark behind the bookstore. Our spot. The one place the world shut the hell up and let him breathe. No roles. No games and abso-fuckin-lutely, no masks.We used to laugh. Play that stupid game we made up when we were too young and too scared to say what we really meant.Kiss or Kill.“Would you kiss me… or kill me?”He always asked with that crooked smirk. Like it was funny. Like we weren’t standing too close in the dark. Like his eyes weren’t swallowing me whole.And I always said, “Kiss.” He always whispered back, “Kill.”We laughed.Until the last time.I didn’t know his smile would be the last clear thing I’d remember. Didn’t know I’d spend years hating someone els
