The storm rolled in with a deafening rumble, its mighty sounds permeating every nook and cranny of the cozy apartment. Simultaneously, the rain intensified, pelting against the windows with increased force.Flashes of lightning illuminated the room, highlighting the gathering darkness outside. The weather forecast had predicted this heavy downpour, warning everyone to avoid being caught outside or driving in the rain. Seeking shelter indoors was strongly advised.Meanwhile, Ivan lay in a deep slumber on the bed, caught in a cycle of recurring dreams that seemed to grow more vivid each time.In the dimly lit room, a familiar man stood at the bedroom doorway hastily removing his silk tie. The urgency with which he discarded it revealed his desperation for something, a desire that consumed him completely."Ivan?," he called out, his deep and melodious voice resonating throughout the bedroom.Ivan, about to unbutton his shirt, froze momentarily. The sight of the exceptionally handsome man

He recalled how he had taunted Shawn with his purity, never giving in, pushing him away and freaking out, declaring his love for him, asking for some person moments to think about them, only to choose to court Chloe throughout their college days until they broke up, having caught her fucking Liam, who would without thinking twice eagerly put his penis inside anything in a skirt. Ivan had remained undecided of what to do.He exhaled softly as he rubbed his face, glad that Serah had not returned from the night out with her best friend. He could not describe how it would be if Serah had walked in and seen him in that position. Ivan was not ready to come up with an emergency lie. He remembered this man, who had fallen hopelessly and madly in love with him.The man who was ready to do anything to have him in his life, the man he had brutally rejected without a single thought, the man who has now invaded his sleep every nights, stirring up every emotions and longings he once thought was bur

For Ivan, it was both a sense of right and wrong. It felt incorrect to lead Sara on when his feelings for her were not based on sincere love, yet it felt appropriate to seize the opportunity before him with wisdom.Ivan had made a vow to never hurt Sera in any way, but instead to provide her with abundant care and attention. As time passed after proposing to her, which she eagerly said Yes to, he gradually realized that what he felt for her was not mere likeness, but rather a sincere blossoming of love for Sera Grayson. However, everything changed on that fateful evening when he received a message that would completely upend his life, reopening a chapter he had believed to be closed forever. The moment Sera laid eyes on that message, and read it out loud, Ivan ceased to be the Ivan he had been two years prior to when he had known Sera. This time, he transformed into the Ivan he once was during his college days."Pardon me, did you say something?" Ivan inquired, this time looking dir

Ivan's blood grew cold. He knew who Madeline was talking about, even though the desperation to crane his neck and look at shawn rose within him. Ivan couldn't summon the courage to meet his gaze. He looked at Madeline, who was already looking at him, and then at Shawn, standing and doing God knows what, and being in God knows which location.Ivan could feel his hand trembling as he held the champagne glass, even though he had been drinking since the reunion party started. Suddenly, his throat became dry. This time around, he didn't need to gulp down a champagne but something strong, something capable of calming his tense nerves.Madeline patted his shoulder softly and walked past him, obviously going over to Shawn. Ivan shakily exhaled as he slowly turned, and his eyes landed on Shawn. But he couldn't help but notice the very handsome blonde man standing close to him, giving Shawn a sweet smile that made Ivan's stomach churn.He realized Shawn hadn't come alone to the party, he came w

Just like he had felt ten years ago, Shawn felt a pang of hurt and pain seeing Ivan making out with the woman he was sure was his fiancée. He hated that he felt this way with just one action from Ivan; this wasn't the new plan. The supposed plan was to ignore Ivan throughout the party, pretend he wasn't there, flaunt his fake boyfriend in his face unbothered, and head back to France like he never came. But it now looked as though the opposite was happening. Instead, it's Ivan flaunting his fiancée right in his face, kissing her passionately, knowing he might be watching, and fuck yes! He had been watching.He had been watching Ivan's every move ever since he laid eyes on him.He had been watching the way he smiled, his dimples appearing cutely on his cheeks.He had been watching the way he held the champagne glass. Heck! A silly thought had crossed his mind, hoping it was his cock Ivan was gripping that way instead."Get a grip of yourself, Shawn Maddox," he chastised himself, hating
