Dave’s chest tightened, Carla informed him she was still chaining herself to Victor’s bed, clawing to keep their lifeline intact now that Victor’s interest in Dave had withered.

Alone, the penthouse felt like a tomb, its luxury mocking his fragility.

On impulse, he texted Henry: Come over. I’m falling apart.

He didn’t expect a reply.

Dave curled into the silk sheets, exhaustion pulling him under again, until the midnight doorbell pierced the haze.

He stumbled to the door, heart lurching at Henry’s silhouette, guitar slung over his shoulder, sweat beading on his brow, stage makeup glittering like a warrior’s warpaint under the hallway lights.

“Got your text late,” Henry said, voice rough with urgency. “Was guesting, three songs. Ran as soon as I read it.” His eyes, dark and searching, held Dave’s, seeing the cracks beneath his polished surface.

Dave’s throat tightened, a flicker of warmth cutting through the cold sham

    Dave’s penthouse was a sanctuary of shadows, the morning light still hours away as he pulled Carla closer, his voice low but resolute. “One last time, Carla. You, me, Henry. A final goodbye to selling ourselves.”Carla froze, her eyes flicking to Henry’s naked form, his cock still hard, dwarfing Victor’s or Carlos’s. Her cheeks flushed, a mix of shame and desire. Henry’s brow furrowed, his gaze darting between them. “Why her, Dave? What’s this about?”Dave’s eyes burned with conviction. “Defiance. You’re our light, Henry. You give us courage to start over. This is for Carla, to erase every trace of those deals, to feel something real.”Carla’s breath hitched, but she didn’t pull away as Dave began unbuttoning her blouse, her skirt sliding to the floor. Naked, her body bore the evidence of Victor’s “meeting” his cum still leaking from her pussy, a stark reminder of her sacrifice. Henry’s jaw tightened, but he moved wi

    The hotel suite was a gilded cage, its opulent decor a stark contrast to the raw desperation filling the air. Dave sat among the six hopefuls, four women and another man, all draped in thin robes, their faces a mix of resignation and hunger. They knew the drill, just as Dave did. The industry was a beast, and Carlos Taylor was its latest gatekeeper. Dave’s edge was Carla, his connection sharper than the others’, but in this room, they were all equals, selling their bodies for a shot at the screen.Kaila, Carlos’s assistant, moved with clinical efficiency, her wedding ring glinting as she handed out briefing packets. Her voice was flat, practiced. “Mark what you’re willing to do. Carlos expects compliance. Stick to orgies and group play, he needs rest after this.” Her eyes flicked over them, unjudging but weary, a woman who’d seen this game too many times.Dave scanned the papers, a checklist of Carlos’s kinks, some

    Henry lingered in the studio's wrap lounge, the air still buzzing with the afterglow of the Dare to Breakfree finale. The director, a wiry man with a perpetual coffee stain on his tie, clapped Henry on the back, his eyes gleaming with that opportunistic spark Henry had come to recognize. "Kid, you've got the voice, the look, the whole package. We're talking a spin-off segment. Solo spotlight. You perform originals, maybe collab with a rising act. Airs next quarter, prime slots. Travis, get the contracts rolling."Travis nodded, already scrolling his phone, but Henry's mind raced. A solo segment meant exposure, real, unfiltered, not tied to Dave's polished charm or the show's gimmicks. It was the break he'd clawed for, ever since those grimy open mics in dive bars, scraping by on tips and sheer grit. Just his guitar, his voice, and the crowd's roar. But as the director droned on about ratings and demographics, Henry's gaze drifted to t

    The final shoot for Dare to Breakfree was a marathon, a full-day spectacle that started with a tally of Dave and Henry’s victories in the studio. Cameras trailed them through a curated day of “fun” lunch at a trendy bistro, strolls through manicured park paths, and amusement park rides that screamed idol fantasy. Dave and Henry played their parts, all charm and charisma, their faces plastered with grins for the fans. But beneath the surface, something was fraying.When Henry’s hand lingered on Dave’s arm during a rollercoaster ride, guiding him through the queue, Dave leaned into it just enough for the cameras, then pulled away, his eyes flicking to the crew. Henry’s jaw tightened, but he kept up the act, his touches growing bolder, a hand on Dave’s lower back, a brush of fingers against his wrist, testing, teasing. Dave mirrored the performance, but his heart wasn’t in it. His mind was already elsewhere, tangled in the web Carla was

    Dave stood in the shadows of the concert hall, arms crossed, his jaw tight as he watched Henry command the stage. The spotlight bathed Henry in gold, his voice raw and magnetic, pulling the crowd into a frenzy as he belted out two tracks from his album. Each note was effortless, his presence electric, every strum of his guitar a middle finger to anyone who doubted him. Then Paulina joined him, her voice weaving seamlessly with his in a duet that felt like a goddamn love letter to the audience.Paulina stepped to the mic, her smile wide but sharp, introducing Henry with a flourish. “Y’all aren’t ready for this man,” she said, her voice dripping with charisma. The crowd erupted, screaming for another duet, and Henry, ever the showman, obliged. He picked up an acoustic guitar, strumming the opening chords of Paulina’s debut single, a stripped-down rendition that hit like a gut punch. The audience swayed, pho
