The door slammed behind them, rattling the frame. Caleb didn’t move. He leaned against the wall, eyes dark and jaw tight, as if the ghost of Jonas still lingered in the air, painted on his eyelids, etched into his bloodstream.

Brandon dropped his keys on the desk and stared at him for a long beat. The silence between them was almost unbearable.

“You’re going to kill yourself doing this,” Brandon muttered, his voice low but steady. “Watching him like that. Wanting him like that. Pretending it doesn’t tear you apart.”

Caleb’s throat bobbed. He said nothing.

Brandon stepped closer, close enough to catch the faint tremor in Caleb’s fingers. He wanted to shake him, to break through the silence. Instead, he breathed in deep and let the truth bleed out.

“I can’t compete with Jonas. I know that,” he said. “But I’m here. And I… I love you. I can give you that. Even if it’s just for tonight.”

Caleb’s gaze finally flicked to him. There was

  • Burning Embers: Scorching Tales of Desire    Tangled in Ambition: Part 21

    The bedroom door creaked open, and Henry and Dave emerged, their hair mussed, clothes slightly askew, but their faces glowing with sated contentment. The living room came into view, and they froze. There, tangled naked on the sofa, were Carla and Travis, limbs entwined, lost in the quiet aftermath of their own intimacy. Henry’s lips quirked into a soft smile. Without a word, he grabbed a spare blanket from a nearby chair and draped it gently over the sleeping pair, a silent gesture of care. Dave watched, his heart warming. “C’mon,” Henry whispered, nudging Dave toward the kitchen. They raided the fridge for a midnight snack.The night’s intensity faded into easy companionship as they ate, then returned to the bedroom to rest, leaving Carla and Travis to their quiet moment.Morning broke with the soft glow of dawn filtering through the penthouse’s floor-to-ceiling windows. Travis stirred first, his internal

    The penthouse thrummed with the distant, uninhibited sounds of Henry and Dave, their passion spilling through the open bedroom door, a raw symphony of moans and rhythmic creaks. In the living room, Carla and Travis sat close, the air between them charged with a new understanding. The weight of their earlier conversation, about Dave’s tangled past, Henry’s vulnerability, and the industry’s ruthless underbelly, had stripped away pretenses, leaving them exposed yet connected. Carla’s tear-streaked face softened under Travis’s gentle gaze, his hand still resting on her cheek from wiping away her tears. The alcohol in their systems blurred the edges, but the moment felt sharp, real.Travis’s words echoed in Carla’s mind: Stick with me. I don’t judge. For the first time in years, she felt seen, not as a manager, not as a pawn in Victor’s games, but as herself. Her heart raced, not from seduction or strategy, but from the possibili

    The night’s celebration spilled over to the glitzy club, with the public’s prying eyes. But the open displays of affection between Henry and Dave, hands lingering too long, glances too heated, had drawn Carla’s sharp warning. “Paparazzi,” she’d hissed, her voice cutting through the champagne haze. “You’re begging for a headline.” Now, in the privacy of Dave’s penthouse, the restraint was gone.No sooner had the door clicked shut than Henry and Dave were on each other, lips crashing, hands pulling at clothes as they stumbled toward Dave’s bedroom. The door stayed ajar, and soon the sounds of their passion, moans, gasps, the rhythmic creak of the bed, filled the penthouse, unfiltered and raw. Carla and Travis, left in the sprawling living room, exchanged a glance. It was their first time alone together in such an intimate setting, the air charged with the distant echoes of their stars’ reckless abandon.Travis leaned

    Travis leaned back in the booth at the upscale restaurant, the clink of glasses and low hum of chatter fading as he watched the trio across from him, Dave, Henry, and Carla, celebrate Dave’s acceptance into Matilde’s workshop. The dinner was Henry’s idea, a rare moment of pause in their relentless schedules, and Travis, dragged along as Henry’s plus-one, felt like an outsider peering into a world he’d only glimpsed. His perspective on them was sharp, colored by years of navigating the industry’s underbelly, his loyalty to Henry, and a growing unease about the tangled bonds unfolding before him.Henry was radiant, his laughter warm as he slung an arm around Dave, his pride palpable. “To Dave,” he said, raising his glass, “for proving he’s got the chops, no strings attached.” Dave flushed, his usual polished mask softened, his eyes catching Henry’s with a mix of gratitude and something deeper, love, maybe, though Travis wasn’t sure he w

    Henry stepped into the recording studio, the air humming with anticipation. Travis trailed behind, already rattling off schedules, but Henry’s focus was on the mic waiting for him. Jamal and Paulina were there, a surprise visit, their presence a jolt of validation. “Kill it, man,” Jamal said, clapping Henry’s shoulder. Paulina flashed a grin, her voice warm. “Heard the buzz. This single’s gonna blow up. Good luck.” They left as quickly as they came, their schedules pulling them away, but their words lingered, fueling Henry’s fire.The single was raw, a piece of his soul poured into lyrics about Dave, veiled enough for the world, but unmistakable to the man himself. Every chord, every shift in tone, was a confession, a map of their stolen moments, their tangled hearts. Henry stepped to the mic, guitar in hand, and let it flow. No take-twos, no stumbles. His voice carried the weight of Dave’s tear

    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
