Hidden Obsession
His mind replayed the scene from last night over and over, Marcus’s smirk at the company party, the ring gleaming like a shackle, Evan’s voice whispering Say yes.
The thought clawed at him: This is a cycle. It will always be a cycle.
He pulled his knees to his chest, pressing his face into them.
And then—gentle warmth.
Evan’s hand brushed over his hair, slow, tender. Adrian stiffened, but Evan only settled beside him, tugging him carefully into his side.
“You’re safe,” Evan murmured. “That’s all that matters.”
Adrian’s throat tightened until he could barely breathe.
Because safety shouldn’t feel like a cage.
