LOGINHalf The CompanyNEOBy morning, I knew we had a problem. And it wasn’t the fact that Daniel and I crossed a line. It was that I wanted to do it again. I woke up in an empty bed, with no Daniel beside me. Dried cum stuck uncomfortably to my thighs— a sticky reminder of what we’d done last night. I groaned inwardly, sitting up just as the bathroom door opened. Daniel stood there, a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist. Water droplets traced paths down his chest. My eyes lingered on the towel, before slowly lifting to meet his gaze.My cheeks burned. “Morning, Rockstar. Didn’t want to wake you.”My hand went up to my neck and he smirked, before turning his back to me. “You said you won’t regret it,” I said softly.“I don’t.” He faced me again, muscles shifting as he moved closer.” It’s you who looks like you’re regretting it.” “I need to shower.” I got to my feet, shoving past him before he could get to me. My heart pounded so hard in my chest that I was surprised he couldn
Tell Me To Stop DANIELKiss me… please.”The plea hit me like a gunshot in the quiet room.Neo’s green eyes were locked on mine, raw and desperate, his body still trembling slightly against my chest from the nightmare. His hand burned against my waist, fingers digging in as if I were the only thing keeping him grounded.I should stop this.I should pull back, remind him I’m his bodyguard, tell him he’s not thinking clearly after everything with his father.But the way he was looking at me, like I was safety and salvation and sin all at once, broke the last of my restraint.“Neo…” My voice was rough, barely a whisper. I cupped the back of his neck, thumb stroking the soft skin there. “If I start, I’m not sure I can—”“Then don’t stop,” he breathed.That was the permission I shamelessly wanted.I went in, pressing my lips softly against his at first — careful, almost reverent. His lips were warm and slightly salty from the tears. He sighed into my mouth, melting against me like he’d be
Make It Go AwayDANIEL“You,” Neo said, staring ahead like he was lost in his own world. I blinked twice, the single word making my whole body light up in fire.“What did you say?” I asked, pretending not to have heard the first one. He sat upright, snapping out of whatever daze he was in.“I….mean..you don’t have to do anything for me.” I couldn’t stop staring as he fumbled for words. The same situation I was in a few minutes ago.A few minutes ago, he looked almost scared when the man appeared. I could tell it was his father even before he said so. What baffled me was why both father and son seemed to be at odds with each other. Neo was the kindest, most forgiving person I knew. Disposing of his dad like that had meant something. This was no business of mine. I hated how I was slowly breaking my own fucking rules one after the other when it came to him. He was squirming in his seat, looking at the floor, and the crew members who were packing up. Anywhere but at me. “You don’t hav
Dead To MeNEOI stepped out to Vivian hovering around the washroom door like she was looking for something. “What is it, Vivian? Can’t I have some alone time again?” I said, struggling to keep my voice as composed as possible. Deep down, my skin was on fire from how close Daniel was and I could still feel his fingers on my wrists. The ghost of his grip made my pulse jump every time I moved.The door creaked behind me, his presence already crawling under my skin before I could turn. Vivian raised a brow, eyes narrowing at me before looking past my shoulder.He stood beside me, face straight, looking as put together as he could be while I was feeling inside. “Didn't know you two were that close.” The way she said it made heat rise to my cheeks and neck, and I quickly changed the topic before she could probe.“What do you want?” I asked.“Someone insisted on seeing you,” she sighed, tucking imaginary hair behind her ears. “He won’t leave until he sees you.”For Vivian to come looking
SAY IT ISN’T NOTHINGDANIELThree hours after the Australia concert ended, I was still stuck watching Anne hover around Neo like a lost fly buzzing for attention—All for a cheap publicity stunt. We were backstage, where the team had arranged for Anne and Neo to take a couple of photos—spearheaded by Vivian of course. “Like this?” Anne asked, her hands cupping Neo’s face. She flipped her hair, and the camera guy took a shot. My eyes roamed all over him. Always him. His hair was styled to fall over his shoulders, his shirt armless. Our eyes met across the room, and for a second it looked like everyone else had disappeared. I could feel the hitch in his breath and the heat rolling off him even though I was nowhere near. Anne took the distraction as an opportunity to plant a kiss on his cheek. His eyes widened slightly, before he masked it with a small smile. My jaw clenched so hard it almost cracked. Back on the bus, I didn't know what got over me, or how I ended up holding his han
Things That Should Stay Buried NEOCold bit into my skin as the Priest assembled all the boys. His stern eyes swept over us one more time before he pushed his glasses up his nose. “Take them away”.Two older men pushed us into a dark room where all kinds of tools were displayed. My eyes widened in shock. “You,” a huge man with muscles called, pointing at me. “Come here.”I stared at him, unblinking, my feet refusing to move. He reached my side in two long strides, his robe flowing behind him. “Did you not hear me?”He reached for my hand and I stepped backward. “Trying to play stubborn? You don’t wanna be purified from all the filth in your useless body?”My pulse pounded in my ear as cold sweat broke out on my forehead. Before I could blink, he closed his fingers around my arm and started dragging me forward.“No…No,” I screamed at the top of my voice as the other boys looked away.‘Neo….Neo….’A faint voice called and my body shook slightly before my eyes shot open. My eyes dart
Eyes In The CrowdNEO’S POVThe penthouse was already a mess before sunrise scattered clothes, cords, and latte cups. The team had arrived earlier, moving around like ants—packing, shouting, fixing things that didn’t need fixing. I’d woken up early too; I couldn’t sleep well last night. After a whi
For LilianNEO’S POVMy eyes slowly opened as I pulled myself up from the couch. Had I slept there? The light was off, so I had to adjust my eyes to see my surroundings. One thing came to mind—Daniel. Was he okay? He liked acting tough and unbothered, but he was still a human being who could get hu
Shattered CalmDaniel’s POVThe world was a blur of rain and shattered glass. My hand burned like fire, but I kept my grip steady on the wound, forcing my breathing to stay even. Neo’s voice sounded distant, like it was coming from underwater.“Daniel… you’re bleeding.”I looked at him — his eyes w
Chasing GhostsDANIEL’S POVThe message flashed on my phone. FOUND.Justin’s call followed shortly, and I picked up immediately. “The car is currently in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. You can check it out later.”Later? No, thank you. I was going to check it out now. Every second
