The afternoon sun beat down on the red-brick facade of the university law building, casting long shadows across the bustling quad. But inside the shaded alcove where Killian had Asher pinned against the solid stone wall, the atmosphere felt entirely detached from the rest of the campus.Asher’s heart hammered furiously against his ribs, a chaotic mix of lingering adrenaline from Julian’s morning invasion and the sudden, suffocating proximity of Killian Cross. He could feel the solid warmth of Killian’s chest pressing close, the crisp scent of cedar and clean linen wrapping around him, and the heavy, undeniable intensity radiating from the dark gray eyes locked onto his."I need to tell you something," Killian had said, his voice dropping into that low, dangerous register that instantly stripped away all of Asher's usual sarcasm.Asher swallowed hard, struggling to keep his breathing steady. He tried to glare, but his expression betrayed a nervous, fluttery panic. "If this is another j

The morning sun sliced through the blinds of Asher’s bedroom with an aggressive, blinding brightness that felt entirely uncalled for given the sheer scale of the psychological warfare he had endured over the last forty-eight hours. His alarm blared at 7:30 AM, a harsh electronic screech that made his residual hangover phantom-thump against his temples.Asher groaned, rolling over and blindly swatting at his phone until the screen went dark. He stared up at the ceiling, reviewing the blueprint of the operation they had dubbed Operation Wooden Son.The logistics were delicate. According to Marcus’s master plan texted late last night, Killian was planning an unannounced, high-mobility daytime excursion across the city—a mixture of scenic detours, upscale cafes, and unpredictable stops designed to keep Asher off balance. Marcus would act as the inside man, a chaotic neutral entity whose primary objective was to monopolize Killian’s attention, generate intentional distractions, and enginee

The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in violent streaks of bruised purple, burnt orange, and deep charcoal. The isolated, sprawling coastal estate—one of several secluded luxury properties owned by the immensely wealthy Cross family—stood majestically against the rugged cliffs, surrounded by acres of manicured private gardens, whispering pine trees, and wild sea oats swaying in the evening gale.Inside the grand, stone-hearth-warmed living room of the estate’s guest pavilion, the atmosphere was thick with exhaustion after hours of driving, bickering, and uneasy truce-making.Marcus stretched his arms above his head, letting out a loud, theatrical yawn that echoed off the vaulted timber ceilings. "Well, this place is entirely ridiculous, Cross," Marcus announced, tossing his car keys onto a reclaimed oak coffee table. "A private coastal villa just for a casual afternoon drive? Your family’s level of capitalist excess continues to deeply offend and impress me."Ethan, who

Killian’s arms stayed locked around Asher, holding him up against his chest in the dim hallway. The omega’s bare skin burned against him. Every shallow breath Asher took pushed more of that sweet heat-scent straight into Killian’s lungs. His own cock throbbed hard and heavy inside his jeans, the early pull of rut already making his blood feel thick and hot.He pressed his forehead to Asher’s temple and forced the words out.“I don’t want to take advantage of you,” Killian said, voice rough and low. “I swear I don’t. But my body… fuck, Asher, it’s getting impossible to hold back. Your pheromones is tearing me open.”Asher didn’t answer with words. He simply tightened his arms around Killian’s neck, shifted his weight, and climbed higher—wrapping both legs around Killian’s waist. One smooth, desperate motion and he was fully in Killian’s arms, held up against the alpha’s body, face buried in the side of his throat. The solid strength of the hold made a broken sound escape Asher’s lips.

The rain had not stopped. It hammered a relentless, heavy rhythm against the black metal roof of the car, washing the world outside into a blurred smear of shadow and neon streetlights reflected in the wet asphalt. Inside the dark, secluded vehicle parked on the narrow coastal shoulder, Marcus and Ethan sat close, the cabin insulated from the chill by the weak amber glow of the dashboard and the occasional electric flash of distant lightning. Thunder still rolled over the jagged cliffs, but the storm had softened into a steady, brooding bass note.Ethan’s hand, resting on the console, had never left Marcus’s sleeve. The fabric was slightly damp from the dash down from the house, but neither of them cared. Marcus turned fully toward him, his dark eyes catching the faint dashboard light. For a long moment neither spoke, the weight of everything unsaid hanging thick in the air between them. Then, with a slow hesitation, Marcus leaned in and kissed him.It was slow at first—careful, almos
