The dark. It’s always the dark. My mind conjured images I desperately tried to suppress. The heavy metallic clang of the basement door slamming shut as my father left me there for days. That damned correction centre. It all came flooding back into my mind.

An awful memory...a memory I despised so much. The whispers, the… no. I squeezed my eyes shut, but the images were branded onto the inside of my eyelids. My head spun, and I felt dizzy and nauseated. I gasped for air, but it felt thin, insufficient...

A soft voice pierced the darkness. "Alex?" It was Peter ... He was back. He didn’t leave me.

I opened my eyes to see a pinprick of light over shadowing the darkness, little by little till it grew brighter. It was a phone flashlight, cutting through the gloom. And then I saw Peter. He was running, with the little light in his hands.

"Alex! Are you okay?" His voice was full of panic. He knelt beside me, his hands hovering, then gripping mine tightly.

I couldn't speak. My throat was cons

  • HIS TO CONQUER    Playing Cupid

    ~ Logan’s POV ~The past week had been a slow, agonizing burn. Not for me though, but for Peter. I could see the cracks in his carefully constructed facade, the way his focus drifted during meetings, the forced smiles that didn’t quite reach his eyes. He tried to play it cool, act like everything was normal, but I saw the truth in his side eyes. Alex wasn’t any better. I had promised to help these two hopeless romantic because it was getting depressing at this point.As for my relationship with Gavin… well, that was a whole other level of complicated. We were… progressing. That’s the polite way to put it. His family though was really lovely. They always invited me to family dinner and Gavin’s mom always tried to feed me. It was cute and wholesome. I always made sure to drag Gavin along, of course. It was a weird mix of comfort and tension. But there was still a dark cloud hanging over our relationship. The share thing still bothered me so much, but it was like a bubble floating in th

    Who the hell...? I glanced around the car, as I couldn’t get the feeling of being watched out of my mind. The sudden thunk of the car door opening jolted me. Gavin slid into the driver's seat, his presence filling the small space. My breath hitched. "Jesus! Gavin," I muttered, my voice tight.He looked at me, his eyebrows arched. "You okay? You look like you've seen a ghost." His eyes were sharp as he observed me.I forced a smile, my fingers instinctively turning off the phone screen. "Yeah I’m fine. I was just... thinking." I lied. He was still staring at me so I changed the topic. "What did that guy say?"Gavin sighed, "It was a family emergency. He said his kid had to pee, like, right then. So he parked right in the middle of the damn road.""I hope you didn’t tell him off?” I asked as I watched his brows furrow.He chuckled lightly , "I gave him a piece of my mind first. Then told him not to pull that stunt again. People also have places to go you know. You can’t stop traffic li

    My hands trembled as the phone dropped from my hand and the screen shattered to pieces as it hit the cold marble floor, hard.Peter’s eyes snapped to mine instantly. He was across the room in a heartbeat, his hands closing around my shaking ones. “Logan what happened? What was that call about?” he sounded so panicked as his eyes searched mine.“Nothing,” I mumbled, my voice a rough rasp, and I tried to pull my hands away. I bent to retrieve the shattered phone, the sharp edges digging into my palm. “I just mistakenly… dropped it.”“Dropped it? Like that?” Peter’s voice was sharp and completely disbelieving. He gave me that hard, penetrating look he reserved for when he knew I was lying, the one that made me feel like a kid caught stealing cookies from the cookie jar on the top shelf. “That wasn’t just ‘dropping it’ Logan. You looked like you had seen a ghost.”I sighed feeling so pressured. I looked up at him, my eyes burning. “I’m sorry I was lying.”“Well I got that part obviously!

    The prickling sensation on the back of my neck intensified as I slowly turned around, the silence stretching out like a drawn bowstring, with the arrow about to be released. But before I could complete the rotation, before I could confirm the presence of whatever was lurking behind me, the blare of a car horn startled the hell out of me. I was practically jumping on my heels at the sound.I whipped my head around, my heart hammering against my ribs, but then relief flooded through me. It was Gavin's car, its headlights cutting through the dim light. I let out a shaky breath and quickly walked over, my footsteps echoing with my hurried steps.I opened the car door and slid inside carefully.Gavin gave me a searching look, his brow furrowed with concern. "You okay?" he asked, "You looked terrified when I honked. Did something happen?" He shifted closer.I forced a laugh, trying to brush off the lingering fear. "Yeah I'm fine. I’m just a bit jumpy, being alone in the parking lot was...yo

    “It’s a surprise,” he smirked.I couldn't help but raise a skeptical eyebrow. "A blindfold? Is that really necessary for a date?" I asked, a hint of amusement in my voice.Before Gavin could answer, Peter swooped in like a dramatic superhero, snatching the blindfold from Gavin's hand. He turned to me, "Trust Gavin a little Logan," he said, a warm smile gracing his lips as he gently placed the soft fabric over my eyes, plunging me into darkness.Now all I could hear were their voices. "Take care of him Gavin," Peter said, his tone suddenly softer. Then I felt a hand on my arm, and Gavin’s voice, close and warm, whispered, "I've got you. I'll lead the way."Slowly, I followed his guidance, my hand instinctively reaching for his. He carefully steered me out of the house, down the porch steps, and then gently helped me into the car, making sure my seatbelt was securely fastened. I heard his door open and close as he slid into the driver's seat, then he started the engine and he started

    I stuttered. “My… shares?” I was genuinely surprised that he had it with him. Was he taking more shares again? It can’t be. “I don’t… I don’t understand.” I said completely confused.Gavin simply offered a small, almost hesitant smile and extended the document further. I took it, my fingers brushing against his. I unfolded it, my eyes scanning the content. My breath hitched as I read the whole content of the first page. I blinked, once, twice, trying to make sense of it. “Gavin,” I began, my voice thick with disbelief, “are you… are you serious about this? About giving me all my shares back?”He nodded, his gaze steady and sincere. “Turn the page Logan.”My fingers trembled slightly as I flipped the document. The next page detailed the transfer of ownership, not just of the shares, but of the entirety of my inheritance, the properties, the assets, every damn thing that Pierce owned. My jaw dropped. It was a complete and unconditional handover. It was… everything.Words failed me. A

    Gavin’s gaze was unwavering, locked onto mine with a depth I hadn’t fully comprehended before. He shifted closer, his hands still warm and firm on my waist, drawing me nearer to him. “Do you… do you want to?” he asked, his voice a low murmur, laced with a vulnerability I rarely heard. He seemed...scared. Afraid that I would say no.I was however thinking deeply about his question. Moving in together was also a huge step, but this… this was the ultimate commitment, we were going to be intertwining our entire lives forever. Thinking about it felt like a beautiful terror.I must have been silent for too long. I saw fear in Gavin’s eyes, a shadow of doubt that mirrored the confusion in me. His grip on my waist tightened. “If you don’t want to,” he began, his voice a little rougher now, “I understand. It’s… it’s a lot, and I..”“Yes.” The word burst out of me, a surprised gasp that cut through his hesitant sentence.Gavin blinked, his expression shifting from fear to utter disbelief. He s

    ~ Peter’s POV ~My grin was practically splitting my face as I listened to Logan. “I’m so happy for you really.” I said with pure joy.Then, a shuffling sound came through the speaker, followed by a possessive voice that could only belong to Gavin. “Peter,” he said, “You’ve had your moment. Now you are not to disturb us for the rest of the night. Understood?” And just like that, the line went dead.I chuckled, shaking my head. Oh, I knew exactly what Gavin was planning. The man had been practically vibrating with suppressed romantic energy ever since he had bought those rings, which I helped him pick by the way. He was about to buy a gigantic diamond stone instead. Ugh! Such a clueless brute. A slow smile spread across my face as I placed my phone on the counter and turned my attention back to the set table.Alexander would be here any minute for dinner. I had kept dinner light, knowing Alex wasn’t a fan of anything too heavy after a long day at work. The aroma of my food filled the

  • HIS TO CONQUER    Happily Ever After!

    ~ Logan’s POV ~My heart was practically tap dancing in my chest. It was today. Today was the day. My wedding day. My wedding with Gavin. A silly, goofy grin felt permanently plastered to my face, and every time I looked in the mirror, it just widened.Peter had been surprisingly invested. I still remember his dramatic sigh when I first mentioned needing a suit, only for him to drag me to some ridiculously expensive boutique three weeks ago to get suits. "Darling you need to look royal," he complained as he picked up fabrics. In the end, he chose a dark blue suit that actually made me look… well, royal. He said going for white was too basic. And this morning, he was here earlier, buzzing around my hotel room like an over caffeinated hummingbird."Logan, for the love of all that is holy, are you even dressed yet?" he shrieked, barging in for the tenth time in the last hour. "The ceremony starts in an hour! Gavin's already there, probably a nervous wreck, and you're still fiddling wit

  • HIS TO CONQUER    My favourite meal!

    It’s been a few months now and I must say, it has been the happiest for me. Peter had, quite simply, moved in. Or rather, I hadn't let him leave. The house felt hollow without his easy laughter, and the mornings dull without the aroma of his coffee brewing. Even the incessant meows of his three ridiculously fluffy cats, had become a comforting soundtrack to my days. They had taken quite a liking to me too, much to Peter’s amusement who thought they wouldn’t like me, especially Claws. They would often choose to nap on my lap while I tried to work on my laptop.Our days were so comfortable. I still went to the office, the pressures of work feeling somehow lighter knowing Peter would be waiting for me at home. He would often text me throughout the day, sending silly memes or asking about my progress even while still at work. Evenings were the best. Sometimes, I would come home to the tantalizing smell of something delicious Peter had whipped up in the kitchen. He genuinely loved to cook,

  • HIS TO CONQUER    Closure!

    My jaw clenched as my damn phone started ringing, tearing me away from the warmth of Peter's embrace. Reluctantly, I pulled back as I answered the call."What?" I snapped curtly without even checking the caller ID."Sir," my secretary's voice said through the speaker. She sounded troubled too. "I just received a call.. your father is..well his health has deteriorated significantly. You need to come home immediately."I was quiet for a while as I processed the information."I'm on my way," I finally managed, I hung up without another syllable.Peter's brow was furrowed with concern, his hand reaching out to gently touch my arm. "What is it Alex? What's wrong?""It's my father. His condition… it's gotten worse. I have to go.""I'll come with you," Peter said immediately, I shook my head because there was no way I was going to allow that. "No Peter. You can't. You don't understand… my father… he's… vehemently homophobic. It won't be pleasant if he..."But Peter's jaw was set stubbornly

  • HIS TO CONQUER    He's back!

    ~ Alexander’s POV ~It’s been fourteen agonizing days since the light had been stolen from Peter’s eyes. It felt like an eternity, a cruel suspension of time where the only constant thing was the fear that his eyes might never open again. Everything else became so insignificant to me. The company, deals, every single thing, I abandoned it all, and I was basically living in the hospital. I felt alien to anything else but the beeping of the machines that kept Peter’s fragile body alive.I didn’t want him to remain in the public ward so I had him moved swiftly to a private hospital, two weeks ago in a VIP ward, where the best doctors and nurses could attend to him. Every morning, I would arrive before dawn to watch over him. I would gently bathe him, clean him careful around the bandages. Then I would comb his messy hair. I didn’t want the nurses to do it. I wanted to do it myself. Seeing Peter like this made me so mad and I regretted listening to Gavin’s weak suggestion of dumping Ja

  • HIS TO CONQUER    Scrubbing!

    ~~ TRIGGER WARNING!!! For those who doesn't like torture. I tried to make it less graphic though ~~There was a slow curl of Alex’s lips. It was not a smile, not really, but something far more unsettling. He didn't speak further, just nodded his head towards Marco. Marco in turn immediately barked a series of sharp commands at the other guards. "Get him secured! Set the bastard up!"My gut clenched. A cold dread began to seep into my veins as I watched them move with efficiency. Alex, meanwhile, was on his feet, his gaze dropping to the figure of Jaxon huddled on the floor. There was no pity in his eyes, only disgust. Jaxon was already a mess of whimpers and desperate pleas, his voice cracking with terror as the men descended upon him.Two of them hauled Jaxon up, his limbs flailing uselessly, and dragged him towards a heavy looking iron surface that lay in the center of the room, I didn’t even notice it before. He was laid face down, his body trembling violently against the cold meta

    “I want in,” I stated, my voice firm, brooking no argument. Alex turned to me, his emerald orbs that had turned so dark locked in my gaze. “Can you handle it Gavin?” he asked. I met his gaze, and I felt a bit offended. “What do you take me for?”His eyes narrowed, a hint of something dangerous glinting within them. “What I’m about to do isn’t about ordering someone around Slade. I’m going to do this myself. With my own hands.” His voice was colder now, devoid of any warmth. “Can you handle that?”I stared into the abyss of his eyes, seeing the raw hate that resided there. It was unsettling. I swallowed hard before replying. “Yes,” I finally said, my voice low but resolute. “I can.”Alex nodded, a grim satisfaction flickering across his features. He stood up abruptly. “Let’s go. We need to be back before Peter wakes up.” He started towards the door, then paused, turning back. “Where’s Logan?”I snorted. “I thought you’d never ask.” I told him about Logan’s internal bleeding, the shar

  • HIS TO CONQUER    I want in!

    ~ Gavin’s POV ~The meeting was going well and there were hardly any oppositions to my proposal by the board members. We were deep into the final stages of the presentation for the new tech launch, a project I had poured months of relentless work into. Then my phone buzzed. I saw it was Logan, then a smile tugged at my lips. Even during boring and nerve wrecking meetings like this, a call from him would always make me so happy.I raised a hand, silencing the presenter mid sentence. “Excuse me for one moment,” I said. The board members exchanged curious glances, but they knew better than to question me. I stepped away from the table, answering the call with a light hearted, “Hey love. Everything alright?”The voice that came through the receiver was anything but alright. I couldn’t hear anything but sobs and incoherent words. My smile vanished immediately replaced by a frown. “Logan! Logan, calm down. I can’t understand you. What’s wrong?” My voice was sharp with urgency. All I could

  • HIS TO CONQUER    Fault!

    It was a bloody mess, and Peter’s face looked so pale against the white hospital sheets. The frantic energy of the paramedics as they wheeled him through the automatic doors of the emergency room was a blur of movement, all I could recall was the chaotic ballet of life and death. My legs felt like lead, but I stumbled after them, my vision swimming with unshed tears, with the taste of my own blood still thick in my mouth.“He needs immediate surgery! Trauma one!” a voice barked, it was sharp and urgent. They disappeared behind another set of swinging doors, as another shouted.“Intensive Care Unit.” I followed after them but a nurse, placed a firm hand on my chest, stopping me from following. “Sir, you can’t go in there. Please wait outside.”Wait. The word was like poison, a cruel reminder of another time, another emergency room. My mother, pale and still, being rushed behind those same daunting doors. And then… silence. The finality of it all. Death. The memory slammed into me wi

    “Hello brother,” he drawled, the last word dripping with a mocking sarcasm that made my blood run cold. Before I could even process the shock, my back was slammed against the car with force.“Jaxon! What the hell are you doing here?” I gasped, my eyes wide with disbelief and a dawning sense of danger. I shouldn’t be here alone with him. He grinned, as his eyes were bloodshot. “I have been trying to reach my dear little brother for weeks now. But your precious Peter has been quite the effective gatekeeper, hasn’t he?”My gaze flickered downwards, no wonder I haven’t been getting those weird text. Peter was keeping him away without me knowing. I could already guess that it was Jaxon sending those messages. Only two people has called me disgusting gay. Stephen Cove and Jaxon. And Jaxon was my biggest guess. Jaxon’s smile widened, “So Logan. How have you been? Enjoying the fruits of your… newfound happiness?”“I’m fine Jaxon.” I attempted to straighten up, but he continued to block my m
