FORT’S POV

For a moment, neither of us moved.

The phone kept ringing somewhere across the room with the kind of persistence that suggested Mara had already decided silence was not an acceptable response option. It was a sharp, controlled sound that didn’t belong in the quiet we had somehow managed to create for ourselves, and the longer it continued, the more it felt like reality itself was knocking politely before deciding it would come in anyway.

Elon exhaled slowly, still half-lounged agains

  • DANGEROUS LIAISONS   THE LOVE I EXPECTED

    FORT’S POVThere was a time when I believed silence was safer.Words created expectations.Promises created weaknesses.Feelings created something people could use against you.So I became good at keeping things inside.I mastered the art of standing beside someone while never truly allowing them to reach me.Until Elon.He had a way of making every wall I built feel unnecessary.Not because he forced them down.Because he simply stayed long enough for me to realize I did not need them anymore.I watched him sleeping beside me, his expression finally peaceful after everything he had carried for so long.It was strange seeing him like this.Not fighting.Not questioning.Not trying to prove that he was more than what people had decided he was.Just Elon.And somehow, that version of him was the one I wanted to protect the most.I reached out, brushing a strand of hair away from his face.The action was something I would have once considered impossible for me.It was gentleness, affecti

  • DANGEROUS LIAISONS   THE PLACE I BELONG

    ELON’S POVI used to think belonging was something people were either given or denied.Some people were born into families that loved them without question.Some people had homes they could always return to.Some people had someone waiting for them at the end of every difficult day.I had spent most of my life believing I was not one of those people.I had always been searching for something I could not name.A place.A person.A reason to stop feeling like I was standing outside my own life.But now, standing beside Fort, I realized something I had never allowed myself to consider.Maybe belonging was not about where you came from.Maybe it was about where you finally felt safe enough to stay.Fort was quiet beside me, staring out at the city lights, but I knew him well enough now to understand that his silence was never empty.He was thinking.Always thinking.“You’re doing it again,” I said.He glanced at me.“Doing what?”“Trying to carry everything alone.”A faint expression cros

  • DANGEROUS LIAISONS   THE LOVE I FOUND

    ELON’S POVI used to think finding the truth would finally make me feel complete.For so long, I had searched for answers about myself, believing that once I understood every missing piece, every unanswered question would stop haunting me.But I had been wrong.The truth did not fix everything.It did not erase the fear.It did not remove the scars left behind by everything I had lost.What changed everything was not discovering where I came from.It was discovering who stayed.I looked at Fort.He was standing by the window, his expression calm as always, but I knew him well enough now to notice the small details.The way his shoulders remained tense even when he was trying to relax.The way his mind was still working even when there was nothing left to solve.The way he carried the weight of everything without ever admitting it was heavy.I smiled slightly.“What?” he asked without turning around.I raised an eyebrow.“You knew I was looking at you?”“I always know when you’re looki

  • DANGEROUS LIAISONS   THE UNBROKEN

    ELON’S POVThe message was still on my phone, but the words no longer carried the same power they were supposed to have.For years, people had controlled my life through fear.They hid answers from me.They made decisions before I even knew there was a choice to make.They turned my existence into something they could measure, analyze, and manipulate.But they had made one mistake.They assumed that knowing my past meant owning my future.And they were wrong.I looked at Fort standing beside me, his expression guarded as he studied the message, already trying to determine who sent it and how much danger it represented.It should have frightened me.A threat against him should have made me panic.Instead, I felt something else.Clarity.Because the person they were threatening to take away was the same person who had spent every moment reminding me that I belonged to myself.They had underestimated what that meant.“Fort.”He looked at me immediately.“What?”I held his gaze.“I’m not

  • DANGEROUS LIAISONS   THE BOND

    FORT’S POVI used to believe that the most dangerous moments were the ones where everything was loud.The sound of weapons.The sound of alarms.The sound of people making threats they were prepared to carry out.But I had learned something different tonight.Sometimes the most dangerous moments were the quiet ones.The moments when someone had finally found something worth protecting.Because once you cared about something, every decision became heavier.And Elon had become that for me.Not a responsibility.Not a mission.Not someone I was assigned to protect.Someone I chose.The thought was still unfamiliar.Not because I did not understand what I felt.Because I did.That was the problem.For someone like me, feelings had always been easier to control when they stayed unnamed.But Elon had never allowed things to remain simple.He challenged every belief I had built around myself.He made me question why I thought caring was dangerous.Why I believed distance was safer.Why I had

  • DANGEROUS LIAISONS   CHECKMATE

    FORT’S POVThere were very few sounds that could irk me on a deeply spiritual level. The sudden creaking of a boardroom door swinging open at precisely the wrong moment, however, ranked alarmingly high on that list.We had barely returned from Adrian’s unwelcome reappearance—a specter I had hoped t

  • DANGEROUS LIAISONS   OLD FIRE

    ELON’S POVIn my opinion, there ought to be a legal cap on how many former romantic entanglements one person can accumulate. Fort had now far surpassed what I deemed a tolerable limit. Not that I was keeping score. Okay, maybe I was definitely keeping score.Across the dimly lit office, Adrian loun

  • DANGEROUS LIAISONS   TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT

    FORT’S POVThere were many things I disliked.Manipulation ranked predictably high.Symbolic gestures designed for psychological disruption ranked even higher.The access pass currently being held by security qualified as both.I took it from the guard with measured restraint.The laminated card gl

  • DANGEROUS LIAISONS   BOARDROOM PRESSURE

    ELON’S POVThe boardroom always smelled the same.Polished wood, recycled air, and subtle desperation disguised as expensive cologne.I had never decided if that was comforting or insulting.Today, it leaned toward insulting.Fort walked beside me without speaking.That, more than anything else, to
