THE MAN MY BOYFRIEND WANTED

Book 1

“Fuck me hard,” Cal’s voice could be heard from inside room 901, the sound muffled by the thick wood but sharp enough to pierce the quiet of the luxury hallway. “Yeah,” he moaned as Julian stroked him deep, his voice dropped low with a pleasure he had never once shared with the girl waiting for him at home.

This was the dream Cal had built his entire life around. Julian Voss had been his crush for decades, an obsession that went far beyond mere admiration. From stalking him through society pages to learning his favorite high-end bar, Cal had calculated every move.

He had taken a job at this hotel with one goal in mind: making Julian drink to a stupor and finally having him. For Cal, tonight was the ultimate victory, the moment he finally possessed the man he had worshipped from afar while using his ordinary life as a shield.

Outside, Emma looked up at the five-star hotel, her heart already sinking at the sheer opulence of the building. Cal had been ignoring her calls and acting distant since the day he got a job here, drifting away from her like a boat lost at sea.

Emma never wanted to lose her relationship; she was just eighteen and naive, clinging to the boy she thought was her forever. But the excuses had become too much to bear. Cal had refused to show up for her eighteenth birthday and then left her standing alone in her dress for the high school prom, claiming work was too busy. She was here to confront him, to demand why he was throwing away three years of love for a paycheck.

As she walked into the bar, the atmosphere hit her like a physical wave. Everywhere was filled with elite men, high-end strippers, and people who moved with the kind of confidence only money could buy. She felt out of place in her simple clothes, her eyes searching the crowded room for a familiar face.

She spotted one of Cal’s colleagues, a guy she had met once or twice when Cal first started. When she asked for him, the man pointed toward the elevators with a knowing look. He told her he had just seen Cal going up to deliver a drink to a guest in room 901, and something about the way he said it made Emma’s stomach churn. She didn't wait for a second thought; she headed straight for the elevator, the numbers climbing until the doors opened onto the ninth floor.

She walked down the quiet corridor, her sneakers silent on the plush carpet. As she reached the door of room 901, she heard it—the heavy, rhythmic sounds of stroking and the unmistakable moans of a man in the throes of passion. The door wasn't fully latched, leaving a sliver of the room visible.

Emma leaned in, her breath hitching as she saw the scene inside. It wasn't just a betrayal; it was a revelation that destroyed everything she believed. She saw Cal, her Cal, wrapped around Julian Voss. In that moment, the magazines she had always seen in Cal’s room flashed through her mind. She had thought Julian was just his role model or a business icon he admired. Now she realized the magazines were a roadmap for his obsession. Cal was using her, using her girlhood and her innocence to protect his sexuality while he hunted the man he truly desired.

Emma’s heart felt dead, the warmth in her chest replaced by a cold, sharp ice. She backed away from the door, her vision blurring as she looked for a place to hide. She found a small service alcove just as the door to room 901 opened. She watched from the shadows, her hand clamped over her mouth to keep from screaming as Cal stepped out. He looked flushed and triumphant, a smug smile on his face as he adjusted his shirt and walked toward the elevators without a hint of guilt. He didn't look like a man who had just cheated; he looked like a man who had finally arrived. Emma waited until the elevator dinged and he was gone, her grief transforming into a dark, focused rage.

If Cal wanted Julian Voss so badly that he was willing to treat her like a disposable cover, she would give him a reason to truly hurt. She decided right there that she wouldn't just leave. She would take the one thing he valued most. She wanted Cal to feel the agony of being replaced by the very girl he thought was too naive to notice his lies.

Emma stepped into the room, the smell of expensive bourbon and sex hanging in the air. Julian was sprawled on the bed, his eyes closed in a drunken sleep, looking like a king who had been brought low. Emma walked to the side of the bed and sat down, her shadow falling over the man her boyfriend wanted. She reached out and placed her hand on Julian’s chest, waiting for the billionaire to wake up.
