DANGEROUS LIAISONS THE OBVIOUS
FORT’S POVThere were things I had spent years believing about myself.That I was difficult to understand.That I was better alone.That needing someone was a weakness I could not afford.I had built my entire life around control because control was easier than admitting I was afraid.Afraid of losing people.Afraid of trusting the wrong person.Afraid that if someone truly saw everything I carried, they would eventually decide I was too much.Then Elon came into my life and somehow did the impossible.He saw everything.The parts I hid.The parts I considered flaws.The parts I had convinced myself no one needed to know.And instead of walking away, he stayed.I looked at him sitting beside me, his attention focused on the book in his hands, even though I knew he had been reading the same page for several minutes.“You’re pretending to read.”His eyes lifted immediately.“I am reading.”“You haven’t turned a page.”A small smile appeared on his face.“You notice too much.”I leaned b
DANGEROUS LIAISONS THE HIDDEN LOVE
ELON’S POVI used to think love was something that happened to other people.Something I could observe from a distance but never truly experience.I had spent so much of my life questioning my own existence that I never imagined I would have the chance to worry about something as simple as losing someone because they mattered to me.But Fort had changed that.He had become the person I looked for when I entered a room.The person whose voice could calm the chaos inside my mind.The person who made me forget, even for a moment, that my life had once been defined by uncertainty.And that terrified me.Not because I regretted it.Because I didn’t.Because for the first time, I had something worth being afraid of losing.I sat beside him quietly, watching the city lights through the window.The message from earlier still existed.The threat.The reminder that the world outside had not stopped moving just because we had found a moment of peace.But I didn’t want to let fear steal another m
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 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
DANGEROUS LIAISONS REAPPEARANCE
FORT’S POVFor one brief, irrational moment, I considered leaving.Not permanently.Not dramatically.Just strategically.Turn around. Re-enter the elevator. Descend to lobby. Exit building. Reassess life choices from a safer distance.It was, unfortunately, not a practical option.So instead, I st
DANGEROUS LIAISONS RESURFACING
ELON’S POVThere were very few things capable of silencing Fort completely.This was one of them.I knew because I had spent an unreasonable amount of time becoming familiar with the precise ways he occupied space—verbally, psychologically, structurally. Fort did not go quiet by accident.His silen
