After Our First Kiss, He Begged to Own Me

Fast-Paced Plot Third-Person POV CEO Flash Marriage MxM

Alex Morgan had stopped believing in love. Born gay in a world that rarely showed him kindness, Alex spent years chasing relationships that ended in disappointment. The last heartbreak—his painful breakup with Chris John—left him emotionally shattered and determined never to open his heart again. But fate had other plans. One night, while Alex sat alone in his office at Reed Holdings, quietly crying after another lonely day, the last person he expected suddenly walked through the door—Jamie Reed, the mysterious and untouchable CEO of the company. Jamie was powerful, cold, and impossibly wealthy—a man rumored to have ice in his veins and zero interest in romance. Yet instead of leaving, Jamie lifted Alex’s chin, studied his tear-stained face… and kissed him. That single kiss ignited a secret neither of them could ignore. Their hidden relationship soon grows intense, passionate, and dangerously addictive. Jamie refuses to stay away from Alex, visiting him night after night until rumors begin spreading through the office and beyond. Powerful people begin watching. Just as Alex decides to run away before becoming the center of a scandal that could destroy Jamie’s reputation, Jamie makes a shocking request. He begs Alex to let him claim him—completely. Within hours, they sign a marriage certificate. But marrying a billionaire is not a fairy tale. Alex suddenly finds himself surrounded by enemies—jealous lovers from Jamie’s past, ambitious business rivals, manipulative friends, and dangerous secrets buried deep within Jamie’s empire. As threats grow darker and betrayals surface, Alex must decide if their love is strong enough to survive the storm. Because in Light City, power comes with a price. And loving Jamie Reed might cost Alex everything.

Chapter: Chapter 4 : confession

The car ride across the city was really quiet. Not in a way but it was like there was something in the air that neither Alex nor Jamie wanted to talk about.Outside the window Light City was all lit up like a sky full of stars. There were neon signs everywhere. Traffic lights blinking all over the place. The skyscrapers looked like they were touching the sky. Alex kept looking at Jamie out of the corner of his eye. Jamie looked really relaxed. Also really in charge. He had this way of sitting that made him look like he owned the place.It was pretty weird for Alex to think about how he ended up on a date with someone like Jamie. The thought made his stomach do flips.Then Jamie asked him "Are you nervous?"Alex was taken aback. "A little." he said.Jamie smiled slightly. "That's honest.” he said.Alex laughed quietly. "I feel like I'm in someone Life or something.” he said.Jamie didn't say anything right away. He just looked out the window as the car turned onto a street with a lot

Chapter: Chapter 3 : scorned ex

The next morning.Alex woke up slowly. It took a moment for him to realize he was awake.He lay still under the gray blankets of his bed. He stared up at the ceiling.Fragments of memory floated through his thoughts. They were like scattered pieces of a dream.The night before felt unreal.It felt too intense.It felt too unlikely.His brain tried to make sense of the memories.But every time it reached the impossible conclusion it rejected it again.Jamie Reed had kissed and fucked him.Not once.Twice.Alex groaned quietly. He rolled onto his side.He dragged a pillow over his face.“No" he muttered into the fabric.“Absolutely not.”It had to be a dream.A stress-induced hallucination.It was brought on by humiliation and heartbreak.He had stayed late at the office.That explanation made sense.The CEO of the company did not randomly kiss one of his employees.Especially not Jamie Reed.Jamie was known for his discipline and control. He was known for his distance from the rest of

Chapter: Chapter 2 : intimacy

Alex was frozen in place for seconds.The office around him felt far away like he was in a different world or something.The desk lamp was still shining on the papers while the city lights were still sparkling through the glass wall and the air conditioner was still humming above.None of this felt real anymore.This was because Jamie Reed had just kissed him and said he had wanted that for months.Alex's mind was trying to catch up with what had happened with Jamie Reed.His lips were still tingling from the kiss, and his heart was pounding so hard.It felt like his heart was going to jump out of his chest because of what Jamie had done.Jamie on the hand looked really calm.He was standing inches away watching Alex with that steady gaze that made people nervous.Alex finally took a breath."Did that really just happen?" he asked, his voice sounding weird and hoarse.Jamie didn't hesitate."Yes " he said calmly.The answer was simple without any doubt.Alex looked at him confused."T

Chapter: Chapter 1:first kiss

The office had never been this quiet before.At night the entire twenty-second floor of Light City Corporate Tower usually slept in darkness.The steady hum of computers was replaced by the murmur of traffic far below. But tonight one small corner office still glowed with a pale white light.Alex Carter sat behind his desk.His shoulders were hunched forward.His face was buried in his hands.Outside the glass windows Light City stretched endlessly into the night.Skyscrapers sparkled with thousands of lights.Streets shimmered with streams of cars.Giant digital billboards flickered with color.From this height the city looked breathtaking.It looked almost magical.Alex barely saw it.The office lights were too bright, the room was too large, and the emptiness was too loud.Papers were scattered across his desk in piles.There were reports, contracts and spreadsheets.These were documents he had tried to review for the hour.He had opened them with every intention of working.He had
