Cold.

That was the first thing he knew cold that wasn’t just on the surface, but deep, invasive, clawing into the marrow of his bones. The ocean swallowed him whole, pressing in from all sides as if determined to erase him. Cassian kicked instinctively, arms flailing through water that felt heavier than gravity itself. His lungs screamed, desperate for air, but the dark waves pressed down, unrelenting.

The last thing he remembered clearly was laughter his own, a brittle thing fed by too much li

  • The Bodyguards boy    CONVERGENCE

    Cassian doesn’t wait this time. He finds Adrian at the edge of the property where the land opens and the structure of the estate fades into something quieter, less controlled. The air feels different there cooler, clearer, like the weight of everything behind him can’t quite reach this far. Adrian stands by the fence, looking outward as if distance itself is part of the plan.“You’ve decided,” Adrian says without turning.“Yes,” Cassian replies, stopping beside him. “I leave tonight.”Adrian exhales slowly, like he expected nothing less. “Then we stop talking in possibilities. We make it real.”“That’s why I came.”Adrian turns just enough to face him. “You don’t go back to anything connected to you. Not your house. Not the office. Not anyone who would recognize you without thinking.”“I won’t.”“You stay out o

  • The Bodyguards boy    FAULTLINE

    The drive back feels longer than it should.Not because of distance.Because of everything sitting between them.Taryn watches the road ahead, but her focus isn’t on it. Rowan can tell. Her mind is somewhere else running through names, connections, things that no longer fit the way they used to.“You’re quiet,” she says after a while.Rowan keeps his eyes forward. “There’s a lot to think about.”“That’s one way to put it.”A pause settles.Then“Cassian isn’t Preston’s son.”Rowan nods once. “No.”Taryn exhales slowly. “And Preston knows.”“Yes.”That part matters more than anything else.Not the past.Not the secret.The fact that Preston has been moving with that knowledge.“He closed the case quickly,” Taryn says.“Too q

  • The Bodyguards boy    MOVE

    Cassian notices the difference before anyone says anything.No one follows him when he steps outside.The first time, it felt controlled. Measured. Like every step he took had already been decided for him.Nowthere’s space.Real space.He walks past the edge of the garden, past the trimmed lines and quiet order, toward the stable. The ground is softer here, less perfect. The air carries a different scent—wood, earth, something real.No voice stops him.No guard steps in.It doesn’t feel like freedom.But it isn’t confinement either.It’s something in between.And that tells him everything he needs to know.“You’re moving differently.”Cassian doesn’t turn immediately.Adrian’s voice comes from behind him, calm as always, like he’s been there longer than he lets on.Cassian keeps his eyes ahead for a moment

  • The Bodyguards boy    DISCOVERY

    Elias doesn’t look surprised when Rowan returns.That’s the first thing Rowan notices.Not the house. Not the silence. Not even the fact that the door is already open before he knocks.Just Elias.Waiting.“You came back,” Elias says.Rowan steps inside without hesitation, Taryn just behind him. “You knew I would.”Elias gives a small nod, like that confirms something he had already decided.“I was hoping you would,” he replies.The door closes behind them.The room feels the same as before quiet, controlled, nothing out of place. But something has shifted.Last time, Elias held back.This timehe doesn’t.Rowan doesn’t waste time.“You lied,” he says.Taryn glances at him, but doesn’t interrupt.Elias exhales slowly, not defensive, not surprised.“I didn’t lie,” he says. “I just didn’t say everything.”“That’s the same thing,” Rowan replies.Elias shakes his head slightly. “No. It’s knowing when the truth matters.”Rowan steps closer.“It matters now.”A pause.Elias studies him care

  • The Bodyguards boy    BLOODLINE

    The door doesn’t lock behind him this time.Cassian notices that first.Not the guard stepping aside. Not the way the hallway stretches further than he expected. Not even the fact that no one is rushing him.Just the door.Unlocked.He steps out slowly, testing it without making it obvious. His body is still recovering, still heavier than it should be, but he doesn’t show it. Not here. Not now.“Keep moving,” the guard says.The tone isn’t harsh.Just firm.Cassian doesn’t argue.He follows.The air changes before he even sees where they’re going.Cooler.Cleaner.Less confined.By the time they step outside, the difference is immediate.Open space.A wide stretch of land bordered by low fencing, the ground soft with trimmed grass. To the right, a stable stands quiet, the faint scent of hay and wood carried lightly through t

  • The Bodyguards boy    LEVERAGE

    Lennox doesn’t speak immediately.Rowan lets the silence stretch.He doesn’t rush it. Doesn’t push. Silence does more damage than questions when someone is already cornered, and Lennox is very clearly cornered now.“You followed me,” Lennox says again, quieter this time.Rowan remains standing across the table, steady, unreadable.“You walked into it,” he replies.Taryn shifts slightly to the side, not blocking Lennox completely but not giving him space either. Enough to remind him this isn’t a conversation he can step away from.Lennox exhales and leans back in his chair, trying to regain some control. “You don’t understand what you just interrupted.”Rowan’s gaze doesn’t move. “Then explain it.”A brief pause settles between them.Lennox lets out a short, dry laugh, but there’s no humor in it. “You think this is

  • The Bodyguards boy    White Lies

    The morning after felt deceptively ordinary.Sunlight spilled over the penthouse’s terrace, glinting off the half-assembled poolside bar. Staff in matching polos moved around briskly, adjusting white parasols, hanging shimmering paper lanterns, and arranging tables draped in ivory linen.Cassian s

  • The Bodyguards boy    Ghosts in the wire

    Morning light crept into the penthouse through gauzy drapes, casting soft shadows across the floor. But there was no peace in the glow just exhaustion wearing yesterday’s clothes.Cassian hadn’t slept. The message from the unknown number had replayed in his mind all night like a ticking clock.Happ

  • The Bodyguards boy    Smoke Without Fire

    The penthouse was dim when they returned, the glitter of the gala behind them, but its consequences still simmering in their bones.Cassian stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring at the city like it owed him answers. Rowan paced behind him, his movements tight, controlled. The silence betwe

  • The Bodyguards boy    Sparkles and Smoke

    The LGBTQ Gala was everything a PR team could dream of spotlights dancing across city landmarks, rainbow banners unfurling down the steps of the Grand Vespara Hotel, and cameras flashing like falling stars.The ballroom shimmered with crystal chandeliers and prism-colored lights that danced across
