Se connecterFaded, Not GoneNEOI could still feel Daniel’s fingers on my back.Not the good kind of touch — the one that had me rocking on his lap like I’d lost my mind. No. The other kind. The one that had brushed over those ugly, raised lines I never let anyone see.The scars. I thought years of countless surgeries were going to make them disappear. But things didn't work that way. It was still there, no matter how hard I tried to convince myself otherwise. My stomach twisted as I stared out the car window, the city blurring past. I’d yanked my shirt down so fast in that storage room I nearly tripped over a box. Daniel hadn’t said anything since, but I could feel his eyes on me in the rearview mirror every few seconds. Heavy. Questioning.I hated it.I hated how exposed I felt. Not just my body, that part had been easy, raw and desperate and wanted. But the scars? Those were mine. A reminder of my father’s cruelty. And now Daniel had touched them.“Neo.” His voice was low, careful. “You oka
Under His SkinDANIELNeo wrapped his hand around both of us and started stroking.“Fuck, Neo…” The words tore out of me before I could stop them.He rocked on my lap, stroking us faster, his fist tight and perfect as our cocks slid together. Precum leaked steadily from both of us, making everything slippery and obscene. The wet sound of skin on skin filled the tiny storage room with every stroke. Every shift of his sent a jolt through me. I should have stopped this.Instead, my hands gripped his ass harder, pulling him down as I thrust up into his fist. The friction was driving me insane. Every roll of his hips made our cocks grind together, the head of his brushing mine on every upstroke“You’re so fucking hard,” he gasped, voice wrecked as he stroked us faster. His thumb swiped over both our tips, spreading the mess, and my head fell back against the wall with a groan I couldn’t hold back.“Neo— shit—” I grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him into another messy kiss, tongues
No One Will KnowNEO“Your father showed up that night,” Ben continued. Sweat slid down my back at the mention of my father. I could feel the tremors threatening to start, and my head had begun to spin. “What?” I said weakly, my voice dropping to a low volume. “He came to our house. I don’t know what he and my mom discussed.” Ben looked at me with those brown eyes I used to admire so much as a dumb sixteen-year-old. But now they just made my skin crawl, and I couldn’t tell why. “He warned me to stay away from you.”My body was visibly shaking now. I shoved back my chair so suddenly it screeched against the floor. “I’ve heard enough.”“Neo.” He called after me, but I was already on my way out, gasping for fresh air to fill my lungs. I bent over near the car, hands on my knees as I willed my body to calm. “Are you okay?” Daniel’s voice sounded near my ear and I nodded quickly. “Let’s go.”He didn't say a word. Just got into the driver's seat and waited for me to put on my seatbelt b
Five Minutes DANIELI watched from outside the café as the colour on Neo’s face drained. The moment he asked where I was from one of the guards, I knew he was up to something. That was how I followed his Uber and found out he had stopped right in front of this café, obviously waiting for someone. His eyes met mine outside, and I could practically hear him gasp, his face tightening. With a flick of my finger, I gestured him outside as I leaned against the black SUV. Who could he possibly want to meet that he’ll sneak out like that? I watched as he stood, adjusted his ridiculous hat, and strolled towards me, eyes darting around like he was looking for an escape route. Neo seemed convinced the hat made him invisible. He reached me in an instant, gaze fixed on his designer shoes. I heaved a sigh, trying to relax my jaw that ached from how hard I was clenching it. “Do you know how reckless that was?” I said through gritted teeth, my chest rising and falling fast. He tugged at the sl
Denial Is A River In EgyptNEO“Why are you calling me?” My voice rose more sharply than intended at the other person on the phone, who turned out to be my best friend, whom I hadn’t heard from in weeks. Maybe Months. “Because apparently you’re trending for eye-fucking your bodyguard.”“That’s not what happened,” I groaned, pressing my fingers to my temple. “And why are you calling me now after disappearing for months?” It was an obvious attempt to change the subject, but Sasha wasn’t having it.“You know I've been really busy,” she said. Then because she was a menace, she immediately doubled back. “I knew you played for the other team. I fucking knew it…..don’t you dare lie to me.”I plopped myself on the floor beside my bed, phone pressed to my ear. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”Sasha went quiet, then after a second she said calmly. “Neo….”“I just…” I scrubbed a hand over my face. “I don’t know.”“You don’t know what?”“I don’t know why the idea of him leaving pissed me o
Replace HimNEO“Rough night huh?” Anne’s voice floated from the kitchen as I walked in. She nibbled on chips, alternating between picking them from the bag and tracking me with a sharp knowing glint. I said nothing.Stalking to the fridge, I grabbed a bottle of water and gulped it down at a go before turning to meet her. Her lips curled up slightly, eyes glinting with mischief and something else I couldn’t place a finger on.“Didn't have to spill after all,” she said, eyes glued to my face, making it more awkward than it already was.“Look, I’m sorry for leaving you out there like that yesterday—“Oh baby, I know you’re not. She stood behind me, brushing her perfectly manicured fingernails on my arms. “I’ve already told you.” Her voice dropped low, sending cold chills down my spine. “You don’t have to pretend with me…. just don’t forget to do your part.”And just like that, she disappeared before I could say a word back. What a great way to start the day. I’d told myself I wasn't
Under His GripNEOThe second Daniel walked away, I knew the room felt wrong. Anne was still talking, but all I could hear was nothing—just the look on his face before he turned away. Anne and I met when I was starting my music career. Things were tough back then, but she stayed until she got tired
Echoes I Can’t EscapeNEOThe hallway felt louder than it had any right to be. Maybe it was the fans. Perhaps it was Vivian’s voice echoing from somewhere ahead.But I knew the real noise was inside my head.I kept walking, pretending everything was fine. Pretending I wasn’t still shaking on the in
At The RooftopDANIELI shouldn’t have let him walk off alone.I knew the moment he stood up from that table, he was seconds away from falling apart. Neo hid things well. He must have had years of practice, but his eyes always gave him away. Everytime.And right now, they were glassy and distant, a
What I Shouldn’t Feel NEOThat was the plan. Get laid, forget, move on.Simple enough. Except it was pushing past midnight, and I was still here, wide awake, staring at the ceiling like an idiot.The more I tried not to think about him, the harder it got. Every sound from the next room made it wor
