What I Shouldn’t Feel

NEO

That 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 worse. The soft thump of movement, the steady rhythm of water running which I believed was the shower—it all crawled under my skin until I couldn’t take it anymore.

I needed a distraction. Something. Som

    I Always Want To Kiss YouDANIELI’d heard enough. I turned around and left, mind reeling. I knew that woman was up to no good but I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. If being with me was going to be such a hassle in his life and career. Then I’d rather not. Maybe watching from a distance was the best. They were still talking but I didn’t want to hear any further. He hadn’t dismissed his feelings for me, and that was enough. I used the back door and went for my bike, riding through the streets until I stopped at a small café shop in an alley. I slid the helmet off and exhaled. I needed a distraction, and there was nothing more distracting than a hot cup of coffee right now.Minutes later, I sipped my coffee slowly, my mind replaying how Neo had sounded when he was talking to Anne. The way his voice had cracked. I should probably tell him to forget everything that had happened between us up until now. The buzzing of my phone almost made me spill the hot coffee on myself.

    Keep My SecretNEOThe door of the boardroom hadn’t fully closed behind me when Daniel grabbed my arm and pulled me into a corridor, out of sight. “What was that about.?”I let out a deep sigh, my gaze dropping to the floor before rising to his face. “They’re trying to push the Anne narrative harder.”I couldn’t read Daniel’s face. He stepped back, creating a space between us. “What are you going to do about that?” He studied my face, waiting for an answer. I turned away, my brain searching for the right thing to say. “I want to break up with her.”His eyebrows shot up. “You know that’s impossible from the way things are looking.”We were walking out of the building now. Much hadn’t changed around here since the last time I came by. I was too occupied with the concerts.“Don’t make a decision because of me.”“I’m not,” I paused mid-walk, turning to face him. “I’m doing this for myself too. I…I’m tired of pretending.” I run a hand through my hair down to my face. “It’s exhausting.”D

    Half 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

    Trying to Escape MyselfDANIELI didn't know what I was doing. But I did know I didn't want it to stop. My length strained against my shorts as I ran a thumb over his throat again. His plump lips parted and I couldn't help but bring our faces together, inhaling his citrus scent. Our lips grazed and

    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

    I’ll Handle ItDANIELI didn’t sleep.I knew I wouldn’t the moment I stepped out of Neo’s room and the door clicked shut behind me. It wasn’t the nightmare itself that kept me awake, God knows I’ve heard worse from grown men twice his size. It was the way he’d looked at me right before he fell asle
