LOGINIt was late at night. Mile was still in the parking lot, head hanging low as he stared at the ground, unmoving. He had been standing there for hours, though he couldn't have said exactly how long—time had stopped meaning much to him somewhere around the second hour, when the sky had gone fully dark and the last of his hope had gone with it."What are you doing here?" Delvin's voice cut through the quiet, footsteps approaching from somewhere behind him.Mile lifted his head just enough to look at him, saying nothing.Delvin walked closer, studying him with an expression that was difficult to read. "It's pretty late." A pause, gentler this time. "What are you doing here?"Mile let out a breath that was almost a laugh, hollow and tired. "Um... someone promised me they'll take me out and..." He shook his head slowly. "Guess I was stupid enough to believe them.""Michael stood you up?" Delvin asked, something careful entering his tone, like he already suspected the answer and didn't like i
Michael's glare didn't waver, even as Dan circled closer, that familiar half-lidded smirk fixed in place like a mask he never bothered to take off."Ooh, what was his name again?" Dan mused, tapping a finger against his chin in mock thought. "Ooh yeah... Mile." His smirk deepened. "Isn't he Silius's brother?"Michael's expression didn't change, but something behind his eyes sharpened."Does Silius know that you're screwing his brother?" Dan asked, voice light, almost sing-song, like he was discussing the weather instead of detonating a landmine."How did you know about him?" Michael demanded, his voice low and controlled, though the tension in his shoulders betrayed him.Dan only laughed, soft and unbothered. "Do you really forget about who I am, Michael?""Stay the fuck away—" Michael started, but Dan was already closing the distance, entirely unfazed by the warning."What the fuck is wrong with you?" Michael shoved him back, disgust and fury tangled together on his face."What do yo
Dan Melvicks opened the door before Michael even had the chance to knock a second time, his expression lazy and unbothered, as though he'd been expecting exactly this visit. "Aren't you gonna come in, Michael?"Michael didn't answer. He simply walked inside, jaw tight, eyes scanning the room with the kind of cold precision that suggested he wasn't here for pleasantries.Dan closed the door behind him, unhurried. "So... what do I owe this—"He didn't get to finish.Michael crossed the distance between them in two strides, grabbing Dan by the throat and slamming him back against the wall with enough force to rattle the frame beside them.Dan's lips curved despite the grip cutting off his air. "Woaah~ kinky as ever~""Why are you here, Dan?" Michael's voice was ice, each word deliberate and clipped."What's with the cold voice?" Dan pouted, feigning hurt, entirely unfazed by the hand still wrapped around his neck. "Is this how you talk to your ex?" He tilted his head, studying Michael th
No matter how many times Mathew tried to talk to him, Silius kept ignoring him. Every attempt was met with the same wall of silence, the same refusal to even turn his head. Mathew kept trying to explain, his words tumbling out faster with each rejection, but Silius wouldn't look at him. Wouldn't listen. Wouldn't give him the mercy of a response.By the time they got home, the silence between them had calcified into something almost physical. Silius went straight to their room the moment the front door closed, his footsteps sharp and final against the floor, leaving Mathew standing alone in the hallway with his half-formed sentences dying in the air behind him."Baby—" Mathew called, jogging after him, catching up just as Silius reached the bedroom door. "Can you at least listen to my explanation?"Silius didn't stop moving."I'm sorry I didn't tell you this sooner," Mathew tried again, desperation creeping into his voice now, the composure he usually wore so effortlessly starting to f
Silius sat at his desk in Mathew's office, fingers moving across the keyboard with deliberate focus, though his mind wasn't really on the report in front of him. He hadn't looked up in several minutes, and he had no intention of starting now."Are you still mad at me?" Mathew's voice cut through the quiet, careful and testing.Silius ignored him and continued to do his work."Baby... I apologized so many times." Mathew leaned back in his chair, watching him with the particular frustration of a man unused to being ignored. "What else should I do?"Silius didn't answer that either. He let the silence stretch, let it say everything his voice refused to."You don't even talk to me anymore," Mathew said, quieter now, something almost wounded threading through the words. "How else am I supposed to know what you want? And even if I suggest something, you'll refuse it." He paused, softening his tone, trying a different approach. "Come on, baby. I promise I won't do it again. Let's go to your
Mile pushed open the door to Michael's office without knocking, the way he always did now, as though permission were a formality that no longer applied to him. He stepped inside and let the door click shut behind him, the sound final and private, sealing the two of them away from the rest of the building."So," he said, crossing his arms and leaning against the edge of the desk. "Are you gonna say sorry for what you did to me the other day?"Michael didn't even look up from whatever was on his screen. "I'm not gonna say sorry for something you clearly enjoyed."Mile rolled his eyes so hard it nearly hurt. "Then why did you ask me to come here?"Michael finally lifted his gaze, dark and unreadable, the kind of look that always made Mile feel like he was being calculated rather than seen. But he didn't answer right away. Instead, he let the silence stretch, let Mile shift his weight and wait, before he spoke again, changing the subject entirely."I mean," Mile pressed, when the quiet be
I took few steps backwards as the men stepped forward steadily. Jason snarled. His arms dropped till he held one of my hands in a death grip. I had hoped it wouldn't come to this.
