Daniel

Life has this fucked-up way of spinning on a dime. One second, you're living a lie, and the next, reality slaps you in the face so hard you see stars.

And right now? I was fucking blind.

Jacob stood in front of me, his body rigid, his eyes avoiding mine like I was something he needed to scrub off his skin.

The air between us was thick with words we couldn’t speak… every stolen touch, every whispered promise, every fucking time he had moaned my name like it was the only word he knew.

And now?

Now he was telling me it was over. Done, like it never happened.

Like we never happened.

I watched him, hoping he'd say something to change the story… anything. A hesitation. A flicker of doubt. A sign that he was just as torn apart as I was.

But what came out of his mouth was a punch to the gut.

“We have to end this," he murmured, his voice firm but shaky. “I'm marrying Nathan in a few weeks. I'm in love with him."

Bullshit.

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 96

    Nathan I studied him from afar, his eyes glued to his phone, but I could feel it. Something was off with Jacob, and it wasn’t just the dark circles under his eyes or the tension from work. This was a shift in his mind, a change that seemed to have lodged in his very marrow. It was a shift that had occurred over the last few weeks, a transformation that was palpable yet unspoken. He wasn’t the same. Not the vibrant, warm-hearted man I’d come to adore. Now, he was a stranger, lost in thought, detached. Whenever we were together, his eyes had a tendency to wander, and when our fingers grazed, there was no electricity, no warmth. It was as if he was playing a part, going through the motions of love without truly feeling it. I had almost convinced myself that it was all in my head, that Jacob was just overwhelmed. But the truth slapped me in the face, undeniable. I’d caught them. Together. More than once. It wasn’t just the furtive looks or the way Jacob’s eyes lit up like a Chr

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 95

    Jacob I gazed into the whiskey in my glass, mindlessly swirling it around. The brown liquid caught the dim bar lights, casting fractured reflections like broken promises.The chilly metal of the glass did absolutely nothing to ease the pain gnawing at me, a relentless beast chewing through my resolve. I loathed how much I thought about him…how even now, after everything, my body still thrummed with the memory of his touch. How could I shake the spell he had me under? No matter how hard I tried, it seemed impossible.This dive bar was nothing special… just a shadowy spot with a wall of booze bottles, their labels worn from years of neglect. The air smelled of stale beer and regret, the kind of place where people came to disappear. Still, it was where I first fell for Nathan and had wished it’d been Daniel. That first kiss with him after these many years, still lingered in my mind… soft at first, tentative, like he was testing the waters. Then fiercer, hungrier, like he was stak

    JacobI came to lay beside Nathan’s form on the bed, his body warm and tranquil in deep slumber, the rhythmic pulse of his breaths pervading the room’s silence. He looked peaceful and serene.But serenity was an illusion. Anxiety gnawed at me, a torment that tightened my chest and parched my throat. How could I lay there, pretending to be someone I wasn’t, with the truth I harbored festering like a toxic secret? The weight of my deception pressed down on me, suffocating in its persistence. Every breath I took felt stolen, every moment of peace undeserved. Nathan slept soundly, his features softened by dreams I could never share… dreams untainted by the rot festering inside me. I moved cautiously, trying not to wake him from his sleep, yet even this slight shift felt treacherous. The mattress creaked beneath me, a quiet betrayal. He deserved so much better, someone gentle, someone unblemished…anyone but the wreck I had become, especially not because of someone like Daniel. Th

    JacobThe shower scalded my skin, yet his scent lingered, taunting me. Reminding me of the one thing I wanted, but fate wouldn’t let me have.Him.Daniel.Steam curled around my shoulders like possessive arms, the memory of his touch still searing into my flesh. I could still taste him… tequila and minty gum, the metallic tang of my blood where he’d bitten my lip too hard. The water turned my skin lobster-red, but no amount of heat could purge him from my pores. I scrubbed my thighs raw with a loofah, the soap stinging the bruises from his teeth marks. The abrasive fibers scraped over the crescent-shaped indents, each pass sending a jolt of pain-pleasure up my spine.His marks. His claims. I was beginning to love how my body throbbed at the memory. The mirror fogged over, thankfully concealing the damage to my neck. I didn’t want to see the marks of his passion… the purpling blooms that screamed “Jake Hale belongs to Daniel Cobbs.”“Fuck."I threw the loofah with the soap embe

    JacobIt was yet another night with him after I’d lied to Nathan that I had school projects piled up and I needed to head to my apartment for a while. The rain whispered sweet nothings against the windows of Daniel's apartment, a gentle serenade that should've been calming. But the air was thick with tension, not tranquility. His arm lay across my waist, his warm breath tickling the back of my neck, and every part of me was torn between desire and dread.I was falling for him again.All these times running back into his arm… I was falling back in love?The revelation crashed over me like a stormy wave… comforting in its familiarity, yet terrifying in its potential to drown me.Daniel stirred behind me, his fingertips tracing tantalizing patterns along my hipbone. "You're all wound up," he murmured, his mouth grazing my shoulder.I gulped. "Just lost in thought.""What are you thinking?"“How you broke me before. How I swore you'd never be able to touch me like this again. How all th
