Chapter Eleven: What Was That?

POV: Noah Hart

Noah didn’t sleep.

Not really. Not after that.

He lay in bed for hours, twisted in sheets that still smelled faintly of Elias’s cologne, his body vibrating with the memory of a mouth that had kissed him like a question and an answer all at once.

It wasn’t just the heat that kept him awake.

It was the clarity.

Elias Voss had kissed him. Touched him. Pinned him to a wall and made Noah feel things he’d never been allowed to feel before—hunger without shame, vulnerability without fear. Not with a woman. Not with a man. Not with anyone.

And it hadn’t felt wrong.

That scared him more than anything else.

At 3:42 a.m., Noah gave up pretending to sleep and stumbled into the bathroom. Cold water. Deep breaths. A shirt he didn’t remember taking off. His reflection looked flushed, wrecked, like someone who’d been thoroughly kissed and even more thoroughly shaken.

He pressed a hand to the mirror and stared at his own wide eyes.

  • His Cold CEO   Bonus Chapter: seven

    POV: NoahThe rooftop felt like another world.The night air was sharp, every gust tugging at Noah’s open collar and whipping strands of hair across his forehead. Below them, the city unfurled in a glittering sprawl, a thousand jeweled lights scattered across black velvet. Cars streamed through the streets in glowing ribbons, horns and sirens floating faintly upward, swallowed by the height.His jacket lay forgotten somewhere behind him, kicked aside the moment Elias pressed him against the steel railing. Noah should have been cold, should have been shivering from the bite of the wind. But Elias’s hands were on his hips strong, steady, claiming and heat burned through him with every touch.“Look,” Elias whispered, his breath hot against Noah’s ear.Noah’s gaze flicked downward. The city blinked and pulsed, alive and endless. It felt as though every window, every headlight, every eye belonged to them. Watching.“They’ll see us,” Noah said, his voice thin, caught between fear and desire

  • His Cold CEO   Bonus Chapter: Six

    POV: EliasThe storm had cut the city’s power.Skyscrapers across the skyline were blacked out, their glass facades reflecting nothing but lightning. Inside Thorne & Vale’s headquarters, the emergency lights glowed dimly, throwing the offices into eerie half-shadow.Elias sat alone in the boardroom, his tie loosened, his sleeves rolled up. He should have been reading through the quarterly reports, strategizing contingency plans for the outage. But his thoughts were elsewhere.On Noah.Noah was down the hall, probably still hunched over his laptop, working by battery light. The boy worked like the company’s survival was balanced on his shoulders — and maybe it was. Maybe Elias had let it become that way.The building groaned in the wind. Somewhere, a door slammed in the draft. Elias’s jaw clenched.He wasn’t used to this kind of silence. Without the hum of power, the office felt like a cage. And Noah was trapped in here with him.When the footsteps finally came, Elias knew them instant

  • His Cold CEO   Bonus Chapter: Five

    POV: Noah The water was hot, steam curling around the glass walls like a cocoon. Noah leaned his forehead against the tile, letting the spray beat down his back. His muscles ached, his chest tight. The day had been endless — reporters digging into his past, whispers in the office hallways, another article calling him a distraction, a liability. He wanted to wash it all off. Scrub away every word that clung like dirt beneath his skin. The door slid open behind him. Noah didn’t turn. He didn’t have to. He knew the weight of that presence, the gravity of Elias Thorne filling the room. “You didn’t wait for me.” Elias’s voice was low, almost unreadable under the hiss of water. “I needed this.” Noah’s voice was hoarse, carried on exhaustion. “I needed to feel… clean.” There was silence, then the soft thud of clothing hitting the floor. Elias stepped into the shower, the glass fogging further, his body joining Noah’s under the stream. He didn’t touch him at first. Just stood

  • His Cold CEO   Bonus chapter: Four

    POV: Noah The rooftop stretched above the city like a secret kingdom. Noah’s breath fogged in the cold air, his jacket discarded somewhere behind him, forgotten the moment Elias had pulled him close. Wind tugged at his hair and clothing, sharp as ice, but he hardly noticed. Elias’s hands were on his hips, steady, anchoring him against the dizzying sprawl of skyscrapers and traffic below. “Look,” Elias murmured, his lips grazing the shell of Noah’s ear. Noah did. The city glittered beneath them, a thousand jeweled lights blinking in rhythm with the heartbeat pounding in his chest. Cars slid through the streets like streams of fire, horns and sirens carrying faintly upward. It was beautiful. Alive. Watching. “They’ll see us,” Noah whispered, voice breaking with thrill and terror. Elias’s teeth scraped the edge of his jaw. “Good.” The word landed like a spark, setting fire to his veins. He shivered, not from cold but from the sheer recklessness of it. They had been careless

  • His Cold CEO   Bonus Chapter: Three

    POV: EliasThe penthouse was silent except for the rain tapping against the windows.Elias loosened his tie, tugging it free from his collar with deliberate slowness. His meetings had run until midnight, his mind still humming with numbers, contracts, rivals who thought they could take something from him. But the moment he stepped inside, he found Noah sprawled on the couch in sweatpants, hair damp from the shower, scrolling absently through his phone.At the sight of him, Elias’s pulse shifted. The noise of the world dulled. The tension in his shoulders burned into something else entirely.He dropped his briefcase by the door. “Come here.”Noah blinked up. “Elias—”“Now.”Noah set his phone aside, padding across the room. Barefoot. Relaxed. Unaware of just how tightly Elias’s control was wound tonight.When he reached him, Elias didn’t kiss him. Didn’t even touch. He simply lifted the tie in his hand and let it dangle between them.“Take off your clothes.”Noah’s breath hitched. “Her

  • His Cold CEO   Bonus Chapter Two: Forever

    Bonus Chapter Two: ForeverPOV: Split — Elias & NoahNoahThe gala lights sparkled like stars scattered across the ballroom ceiling. Chandeliers glittered, champagne flowed, and laughter rose in elegant waves from the crowd. But for Noah, none of it mattered.Because Elias was across the room, cornered by a small group of investors, and still—still—he was looking at him.Even in a sea of tuxedos and gowns, Elias stood out. His suit was perfectly tailored, black with a subtle sheen, his tie the exact deep navy that Noah had chosen for him. His hair gleamed under the golden light, sharp jawline softened only by the faintest smile he reserved for one person.For Noah.Two years. Two years since they’d stepped out of the fire and into something they had built together. The new firm thrived, their names no longer whispered with scandal but celebrated with respect. Their story had become less about ruin and more about resilience.And yet—Elias still looked at him like he was the only thing
