Robin's POV

I took a job on the west side installing a kitchen for a couple who were renovating their first house together, young and optimistic and full of plans for the life they were going to build in the space I was helping them shape.

They were nice. Excited about things like cabinet hardware and tile patterns in a way that would have been endearing if I'd had the capacity to be charmed by it. They asked my opinion on finishes and I gave it, professional and helpful, and they thanked me li

  • HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM)   Chapter 101—We Need To Talk

    Sophie's POVI'd been sitting with the thought for days before I finally let myself say it out loud, even just to myself.We were both miserable.Not in the dramatic way you see in films, with screaming and broken things and confrontations that leave you breathless. Ours had always been quieter than that. The kind of misery that moves into a home slowly, unpacks its bags, and starts to feel like furniture — heavy and permanent and just part of the décor.I sat by the window that morning with my coffee going cold, watching the city below carry on with itself, and I let myself think the thing I'd been circling for weeks. Christopher had never chosen this. Not really. He'd been shaped and guided and carefully pressured into this marriage by his father, who had always treated love like a weakness and arrangement like strategy. And I had walked into it with my eyes half open because it felt safe, and comfortable, and I hadn't yet understood what I was agreeing to give away.I hadn't unders

  • HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM)   Chapter 100—The Secret She Carries

    Christopher's POVI noticed it on a Tuesday evening when Sophie came home around nine, later than she usually did, and there was something different about her.Not obviously different. She didn't look disheveled or guilty or like someone trying to hide something. But there was a lightness to her that hadn't been there before, a kind of quiet contentment in the way she moved through the apartment, and it registered somewhere in the back of my mind as unusual.I was sitting in the living room with my laptop, reviewing contracts I should have finished hours ago, and I looked up when she walked past.Evening, I said.Evening, she replied, and disappeared into her room without further conversation.That was normal. That was how we existed these days, brief acknowledgments that we shared a space and nothing more substantial than that. But something about the exchange felt off in a way I couldn't name.Over the next few days I noticed more small things.She was coming home later more often,

  • HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM)   Chapter 99—Hours

    Sophie's POV The kiss turned hungry fast, desperate, my breath caught when Tio's hand slid from my face into my hair, fingers tangling tight, pulling me closer, I pressed against him with no hesitation, body already aching for more His other hand moved down my side, over my hip, found the hem of my dress, slipped underneath, fingers traced slow up my thigh, deliberate, teasing, when they reached my panties he paused "Is this okay?" he asked against my mouth "Yes," I breathed His fingers pushed under the fabric, found me soaked, already dripping, he made a low rough sound in his throat "Fuck Sophie," he said, voice gravel, "you're so fucking wet, can't believe this sweet pussy's been starving this long, neglected for years huh, your husband left this cunt untouched, didn't he" His fingers circled my clit, slow, sure, I gasped, hips jerking forward, chasing the pressure, he gave it to me, stroking steady while his mouth moved to my neck, sucking hard enough to mark "Please," I s

  • HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM)   Chapter 98—Tio's Kiss

    Sophie's POVI stared at Tio's text for a long moment before responding."Yes. When were you thinking?"His reply came quickly. "Tonight? I know a place. Quiet, off the beaten path."I thought about Christopher working late at the office again, about Richard Hall's voice asking if we had issues in our marriage, about how little I'd noticed what was happening with my own husband because I'd been too busy at Katherine's."Tonight works. Send me the address."The restaurant he chose was exactly what he'd promised, tucked away in a part of the city I rarely visited, the kind of place that felt intimate without being romantic, dimly lit with good food and enough ambient noise to have a real conversation without being overheard.Tio was already there when I arrived, standing when he saw me, and the smile on his face when I approached made something warm settle in my chest.You look beautiful, he said simply.Thank you, I said, sitting down across from him.We ordered drinks and talked easil

  • HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM)   Chapter 97—Soaked Memories

    Sophie's POVI was driving back from Katherine's place when the memories started playing, the kind of vivid replay that made it difficult to concentrate on the road.It had been weeks now. Weeks of visiting Katherine's house more often than I'd ever visited anyone, more often than was probably reasonable for a friendship, but Katherine didn't seem to mind and I couldn't seem to stop going back.The first time had been with James. That night had opened something in me I hadn't known existed, a hunger I'd spent ten years ignoring because my marriage had taught me that wanting things for myself was pointless.But after James there had been Ethan.Ethan was different from James, leaner but just as confident, with hands that knew exactly where to touch and a mouth that made promises he absolutely delivered on. Katherine had introduced us at one of her dinner parties, and by the end of the evening all three of us had ended up in her bedroom again, and I'd learned that the first time hadn't

  • HIS SECRET DESIRE (MxM)   Chapter 96—The Question

    Christopher's POV The Riverside development deal fell apart on a Tuesday. It shouldn't have. The numbers were solid, the timeline reasonable, the partnership with the contractors well-established. But I'd missed a critical clause in the revised contract during my review, something about penalty fees for delayed permits, and by the time legal caught it we'd already signed and the other party was holding us to terms that would cost us significantly if we couldn't secure approvals on schedule. My father called me into his office that afternoon, his expression colder than I'd seen it in weeks. This is exactly the kind of mistake you don't make, he said. This is careless Christopher. I know, I said. I'll fix it. You shouldn't have to fix it, he said. You should have caught it the first time. I left his office with the weight of that conversation sitting heavy on my shoulders and went back to my own office and closed the door. The truth was he was right. I'd been careless. I'd revie

    Sophie's POVI started paying attention to him in a way I never had before.Not because I loved him, I want to be honest with myself about that, but because watching someone disintegrate quietly in the same space you occupied was impossible to ignore, and Christopher Hall was disintegrating in the
