MxM

He’s supposed to protect him. Not fall for him. Not break him. Not save him. Noah Cross doesn’t believe in second chances—not for himself, and definitely not for the spoiled billionaire brat he’s been hired to protect. Cold. Dangerous. Untouchable. That’s how Noah survived the battlefield, and it’s how he plans to survive this assignment. But Adrian Vale is nothing like Noah expected. Behind the designer suits and reckless scandals hides a shattered man with too many secrets and not enough people he can trust. Secrets that could get them both killed. When a failed assassination attempt forces Noah and Adrian into close quarters, sparks fly where bullets once did. Enemies turn to reluctant allies, bodyguard turns into something much more dangerous… and hearts begin to betray them both. But loving Adrian means crossing lines Noah swore he’d never break again. And protecting him? Might cost Noah his life. 💥 Enemies to Lovers 💥 Billionaire x Bodyguard 💥 Forced Proximity 💥 Forbidden Romance 💥 Slow Burn, High Heat 💥 Hurt/Comfort, Found Family 💥 HEA, but not without bloodshed Love was never part of the job. But Adrian Vale just made survival impossible without it.

CHAPTER 1: THE JOB HE DIDN'T WANT.
Noah’s POVIf there’s one thing the military taught me, it’s this: people are very predictable.Put anyone under enough pressure, strip them of comfort and illusion, and eventually, they’ll show you exactly who they are. A person can only pretend for so long.That’s why I don’t trust people who look too perfect. Who act too perfect.They’re usually hiding the most. They're usually the most dangerous, or the most broken.Which is why, when I opened the file stamped confidential and saw the black-and-white photo clipped to the top corner, sharp cheekbones, expensive suit, smirk carved like a sin straight from a designer runway. I knew immediately: this job was going to be hell. It was going to test every ounce of patience I had in me.Adrian Vale. Billionaire heir to Vale Industries. Tech mogul. Scandal magnet. Corny and sly. Headline to every gossip. Arrogant as sin, cold as winter steel, and according to every tabloid, the kind of man who ruined people for sport and didn’t lose a min

CHAPTER 2: FIRST IMPRESSIONS, FIRST SPARKS.
Noah’s POVThere’s a rule in personal security: Never live where you work. Boundaries keep you sane. Boundaries keep you alive.But there’s another rule, too. The client comes first.And Adrian Vale? He didn’t give a damn about my boundaries.I arrived at his penthouse the next morning with two duffel bags, a loaded sidearm, and the kind of exhaustion that settled deep in your bones and never quite left. Lucien’s people had already arranged clearance with the building’s laughable security team. No one stopped me. No one checked my ID. I made a mental note to rip that protocol apart later.For now, I had one job: move in, lock down, and keep Adrian Vale breathing.The penthouse looked different in daylight, less like a lair, more like a museum exhibit for someone with too much money and too little warmth. White marble, black leather, glass everywhere. Clean lines. Cold spaces. Not a picture frame in sight.And there he was, sprawled across a sectional sofa like he belonged to the furn

CHAPTER 3: UNDER FIRE.
Noah’s POVThere’s a split second, right before the glass shatters, before instinct overrides thought, when the world seems to slow.That red dot burned against Adrian’s chest like a countdown.I didn’t think. I moved.One step. Two. Then I hit him hard, driving him down just as the window behind him exploded in a spray of glass and fury.The bullet missed his heart by inches. I felt the vibration of impact through my bones as we hit the marble floor, shards raining down around us like frozen rain.Adrian’s breath left him in a sharp, shocked exhale beneath me. His eyes flew wide open like what just happened was a movie. For one long, suspended moment, his body was pinned under mine, his heart hammering hard enough for me to feel it through his chest. “You’re okay,” I said. “You’re okay.”“Jesus Christ,” he rasped, eyes wide. “Is this—”Another shot cracked through the apartment. Closer this time. Controlled. Calculated.This wasn’t a warning.This was a hunt.Whoever was doing this,

CHAPTER 4: LOCKDOWN
Noah’s POVThe safehouse wasn’t much.Concrete walls. Reinforced locks. Bare furniture and black-out curtains. It wasn’t meant to be comfortable. It was meant to keep people alive.Adrian Vale looked at it like I’d sentenced him to death by boredom.He prowled the space from the moment we arrived, inspecting every dull corner with something between disdain and disbelief.“This is it?” He gave the word it a delicate curl of his lip. “I’ve been to prison cells more inviting than this.”“You’re alive,” I said flatly. “Consider that a luxury.”He turned to me, one brow arched. “You do know I’m paying obscene amounts of money for this, don’t you? I expected...I don’t know. Something less tragic.”“You’re paying obscene amounts of money to not get shot in the head.” I locked the door behind me, checked the security feeds, the alarms, the blind spots. Routine calmed me. People did not. “If you want room service and mood lighting, I suggest you survive long enough to go home.”He sighed, dram

CHAPTER 5: TENSION BREAKS.
Noah’s POVSilence hung heavy in the aftermath.My hands were still fisted in on his shirt. His breath still ghosted my lips. Too close, Too dangerous,Too much.And yet, neither of us moved.Adrian’s pulse thudded against my palm like a live wire, his pupils blown wide with something he didn’t bother trying to hide anymore: attraction, yes! Most definitely! But also defiance. Always defiance.He wanted me to break first.And for a moment, I almost did.But the job, the rules, came slamming back into place like steel shutters over my chest.I released him, almost pushed him away from me. Stepped back and put space between us like a drowning man clawing toward air.“This doesn’t happen again,” I said, voice low, ragged around the edges. “Do you understand me Vale?”Adrian’s mouth curved, slow and bitter. “Oh, I understand perfectly. It most definitely won't” he winked.Seriously?He sure does drive one insane, and not in a good way at all.He smoothed his shirt, cool as glass despite th

CHAPTER 6: TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT.
Adrian’s POVIt turned out near-death experiences came with house rules.Noah’s face was carved from stone when he brought me back inside. He didn’t say much at first, just locked the doors, checked the windows, rechecked the locks, and double-checked the security feeds like he didn’t trust them anymore. Maybe he didn’t.I certainly didn’t trust anyone right now.Except him.“You’re never alone again,” he said finally. Voice flat, final, no room for argument. “Anywhere you go, I go. Understood?”I gave him my best unimpressed arch of the brow. “You make it sound romantic.”His jaw tightened, but he didn’t take the bait. Not this time. “This isn’t a joke, Adrian.”“I didn’t think it was.” I sat, watching him pace like a caged animal, dangerous, disciplined, furious beneath his skin. “You’re not wrong, you know. I do feel safer with you around. Even if your bedside manner could use serious work.”He ignored that. “We’re done negotiating. You don’t leave my sight again.”“You’re very com

CHAPTER 7: A LITTLE TOO CLOSE.
Adrian’s POV Days blurred together in the safehouse. Hours folded into one another like ink bleeding through cheap paper, leaving behind nothing but the same suffocating silence and the endless echo of Noah’s footsteps. At first, I thought I’d lose my mind from the boredom. But then I started watching him. Really watching. And I realized something dangerous. Stillness didn’t exist in Noah Cross. Even at rest, he moved beneath his skin, muscles tense beneath t-shirts stretched too tight across broad shoulders, fingers flexing without thought as if his body couldn’t bear the idea of surrender, not even to exhaustion. His jaw worked in quiet moments like he was grinding down words he’d never speak. His eyes were always scanning, always calculating, even when they looked like they weren’t looking at all. Except sometimes… they were looking. At me. He thought I didn’t notice. The stolen glances when I crossed too close. The flick of his gaze when I stretched, when I smirked, whe

CHAPTER 8: UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE.
Adrian’s POV Noah didn’t push me against the wall again after that night. Not physically, anyway. Instead, he did something worse. He stepped back, like he'd just gotten a hold of himself. He drew his lines in sharper ink. Kept his distance even in close quarters. Watched me with that same unreadable stare, thick with warning, thick with want, and said nothing. Did nothing. And it worked. Because now it wasn’t just my skin he got under. It was my head, my thoughts, My breathing, My fucking heartbeat. I found myself cataloging everything about him. The way his knuckles flexed when he gripped the back of a chair. The quiet clicks of his gun being checked and rechecked, the silent choreography of a man who trusted nothing, not locks, not walls, not even himself. But it was the quiet that got to me most. The soft exhale he gave when he finally sat still. The way his eyes softened when he thought I wasn’t looking. The way his mouth tugged, barely there, when I teased him just ri

CHAPTER 9: CLOSE QUARTERS.
Noah’s POV It started with the storm. Then the lightning. Thunder rolling low across the city like a distant threat, wind lashing against glass, lights flickering once, twice… then dying altogether. Power outages didn’t bother me. Silence didn’t bother me. But Adrian Vale in the dark? That was another story entirely, I didn't know what was in store for me, or what to expect. I heard him first, footsteps moving slow through the penthouse. like he wasn’t sure where to land. I stayed still, watching the faint outline of his silhouette in the window’s fractured light, wondering what the fuck he was up to. “Are you planning to lurk all night or just until I break and beg for conversation, hmmm, Mr Cross?” His voice came softer than usual. No bite. No smugness. Just… tired. “The backup generator will take over in a minute,” I said, trying to avoid any sense of awkwardness. He made a sound, half laugh, half breath, as he sank down onto the couch across from me. And I was a little t

CHAPTER 10: THE FIRST KISS.
Noah’s POV Morning came too quiet. The storm had passed. The rain had dried. But inside this penthouse, something lingered. Something we didn’t speak of. Adrian moved through the space like nothing had happened, like he hadn’t curled against me in the dark, like he hadn’t burrowed beneath my defenses with warmth and exhaustion and quiet need. Like I hadn’t held him through the night with my arms wrapped so tightly around his ribs it felt like keeping him breathing was the only thing tethering me to sanity. Now? Now he stood by the window with coffee in hand, sunlight dragging gold across the sharp angles of his face, eyes unreadable beneath the fragile mask he wore so damn well. He didn’t look at me. I didn’t ask why. Because if I did, I might not be able to stop what came next. Breakfast passed in silence. Too quiet. Too careful. I watched the tension in his shoulders. The way his fingers curled tighter around the coffee mug than necessary. The way his throat worked when h
