Adrian’s POV

We didn’t talk about it, it was as though it never even happened at all.

Not the kiss, nor the fight, nor the way Noah’s mouth had ruined me against the wall like he’d been waiting years to taste me.

Not the way I’d kissed him back like I wanted to burn in him.

It was cute to see him struggling with himself every time he crossed lines he said he wouldn't cross with me.

Instead, we went back to pretending, back to the distance measured in silence and the space between breaths.

But something had definitely changed.

I could feel it in the way he watched me now, too closely, too often, too long.

Like he was memorizing every part of me, every detail of me, in case he needed to forget.

And I couldn’t stop thinking about his mouth, his lips, couldn’t stop thinking about his hands, rough on my skin, sure in their grip, couldn’t stop wanting him to break his rules for me again, if only he'd accept me more freely, more naturally, then we both wouldn't have to suffer the i

  • HIS BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET {MxM}   CHAPTER 11: CROSSING THE LINE.

    Noah’s POV I kissed him, I really did kiss him, it was real and full of passion. That fact hadn’t changed with daylight, It hadn’t softened with time, It hadn’t faded beneath routine or distance or the lines I tried to redraw in thicker, sharper ink the next morning. I kissed him, and I wanted to do it again, no holds barred, just intense locking of lips, no one to bother us, I wanted to do it again and again without regrets, without pulling away, without having to be constantly reminded of the shield I put up, I wanted to break that wall and be one with him. Wanted wasn’t strong enough. Craved, Ached, Needed. But needing was dangerous, wanting blurred lines. And I’d been hired to protect him, not to ruin him, not to fall for him, not to yearn for him, and definitely not be involved with him. Anything other than risking my life to protect his was out of the options. Which was why I stood now with fists clenched at my sides, watching him pace the living room with a smirk curvi

  • HIS BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET {MxM}   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

  • HIS BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET {MxM}   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

  • HIS BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET {MxM}   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

  • HIS BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET {MxM}   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
