“Liam is on his way, with a lunch box. We cooked it together,” the message from Jasper read.

Julian stared at the screen, his heart skipping a beat.

“Shit,” he muttered under his breath, lowering the phone immediately.

Clara raised a perfectly shaped brow. “Is there a problem?, is anything wrong?.”

Julian’s eyes flicked to hers. “No,” he lied smoothly. “Just a work thing.”

He quickly typed a message to his secretary: Liam is coming. Do not let him up. Tell him I’m in a meeting. Handle it discreetly.

Then, turning back to Clara, he forced a calm smile. “Sorry. You were saying?”

Clara leaned back, legs still crossed. “I wasn’t saying anything. But I was thinking… maybe we should do a photoshoot together soon. Yo

    Clara’s smile was dazzling—l–her eyes, not so much.“Well, well, well…” She glided toward Liam like she was on a fashion runway, her heels slicing through the tension in the air. Her voice was sweet as syrup, but the venom beneath it sizzled. “What a surprise to see you here, dear brother, I doubt you got on with your life.”Liam gave a lopsided smile, folding his arms casually. “Didn’t know crashing a dinner was frowned upon now. My bad.”Clara leaned in slightly, still smiling, a hand resting lightly on Liam’s shoulder as a photographer passed. She posed for a second before hissing, “You’re not invited. What the hell are you doing here?, mom and dad shouldn't even know you're here, you've been disowned remember.”“Well like I said before, I was disowned a long time ago but right now I'm here, getting a front row seat to your performance,” Liam murmured back. “Don’t worry. I won’t upstage you. I know how hard you worked for this role.”Julian stood frozen a few steps behind, his thro

    As he kissed Liam again, his hand going to Liam's belt, as he took him into a toilet door and closed it shut .They were kissing again, Liam’s back against the door, Julian’s body pressed against his.Julian’s hand found the button on Liam's pants, fumbling with it impatiently.“Julian–” Liam gasped.“Shh,” Julian whispered against his lips. “Let me.”He undid Liam’s zipper, reaching into his pants and wrapping his hand around Liam’s hardening cock.Liam moaned, closing his eyes.Julian stroked him slowly, teasingly, his other hand coming up to grip Liam’s hair.“Look at me,” Julian commanded, his voice low.Liam opened his eyes, meeting Julian’s heated gaze.Julian smirked, his thumb brushing over the head of Liam’s cock. “You want this, don’t you?”Liam nodded, his breath catching.Julian leaned in, capturing Liam’s mouth in a kiss as he continued to stroke him.Liam arched his hips, thrusting into Julian’s hand.“Fuck, Julian,” he moaned.Julian broke the kiss, his eyes never leavi

    Jasper stood up slowly, his movements calm and deliberate. He walked toward Liam, stopping just in front of him. “Liam,” he said softly, reaching out to touch Liam’s arm. “We are enough. But Julian needs to realize that himself.”Liam jerked away from Jasper’s touch, anger and hurt swirling in his chest. “He won’t. Not unless we make him.”Jasper frowned, confusion crossing his face. “What are you saying?”Liam’s eyes narrowed , a plan forming in his mind. “We make him choose. For real this time. No more pretending, no more games.”“And how do you suggest we do that?” Jasper asked, skepticism evident in his tone.Liam’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “By giving him a taste of what he’ll lose if he marries Clara. By making him jealous as fuck.”Jasper raised an eyebrow, understanding dawning on his face. “You mean…” He trailed off, letting the implication hang in the air.Liam nodded. “Exactly. We make Julian see that we don’t need him. That we can be happy without him.”Jasper was q

  • ENTANGLED AFFAIRS   THE GILDED CAGE

    The chandelier, a monstrosity of crystal and gaudy gold, dripped light like honey, coating everything in a syrupy sheen of wealth. I took a sip of my lukewarm champagne, the bubbles doing little to soothe the acid churning in my stomach. "Gilded cage," I muttered under my breath, the phrase feeling particularly apt. This whole scene, this extravagant charade, was a cage built of borrowed money and desperate hopes, and my family were willingly locking themselves inside.I surveyed the room, a grotesque tableau of forced smiles and strained conversations. My parents, Mr. and Mrs. Moreau, were the ringleaders of this circus, their faces plastered with an almost manic joy. They flitted between guests, their bodies practically vibrating with the effort of appearing relaxed and affluent. My mother's dress, a shimmering emerald number, was undoubtedly purchased on credit, a fact that only I seemed to recognize. My father, usually slumped and defeated, stood ramrod straight, puffing out his c

  • ENTANGLED AFFAIRS   THE GAMBIT

    The Moreau mansion, a monument to faded glory and burgeoning mildew, sagged under the weight of its own disappointment. It was a stark contrast to the Davenport estate, a place Liam had only glimpsed the night before, a glittering promise of wealth and power he felt entitled to. Here, paint peeled like sunburnt skin, revealing layers of neglect beneath. The air hung thick with the scent of dust, regret, and Mrs. Moreau’s perpetually simmering anxieties.Liam navigated the creaking floorboards of the library, the only room in the house that still held a semblance of its former grandeur. He ran a finger along the spine of a leather-bound book, the title long since obscured by age and grime. He didn’t care about literature; he cared about leverage. And Julian Davenport was the ultimate lever.For the past few hours, Liam had been devouring every article, every blog post, every whispered rumor he could find about Julian Davenport. His search history was a testament to his growing obsessio

  • ENTANGLED AFFAIRS   TEMPTATION

    The 'Obsidian Lounge' was a monument to excess, all polished chrome and strategically placed lighting designed to flatter the obscenely wealthy. Liam, dressed in a tailored black suit he'd nearly starved himself to afford, felt like a particularly gaudy ornament amidst the human chandeliers. He’d spent hours agonizing over the outfit, wanting to project an image of effortless sophistication, a stark contrast to the Moreau family’s perpetually strained finances. He needed to be noticed, not just seen, by Julian Davenport.He perched on a high stool at the bar, nursing a single, exorbitantly priced martini. He’d chosen a spot with a clear view of the entrance, his senses on high alert. He practiced nonchalant sips, his eyes scanning the room, his mind a whirlwind of rehearsed lines and calculated gestures. This was it. The first act of his carefully crafted play for revenge.He spotted Julian Davenport the moment he walked in. He was a silhouette of power, his dark suit impeccably tailo

  • ENTANGLED AFFAIRS   SUGAR DADDY

    The address Julian’s assistant had sent me led to a penthouse apartment that practically scraped the sky. Stepping out of the taxi, I felt a familiar prickle of anxiety. This was it. The point of no return. I was about to walk into the lion’s den, armed with nothing but my wit and a hefty dose of self-loathing.The lobby was all polished chrome and hushed whispers. The doorman, a man who looked like he’d been carved from granite, eyed me with suspicion before reluctantly buzzing me up.The elevator doors opened directly into the apartment. And what an apartment it was. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered a panoramic view of the city, spread out like a glittering carpet at my feet. The furniture looked like it belonged in a museum, all sharp angles and minimalist design. It was breathtaking, and utterly sterile.He was standing by the window, a glass of amber liquid swirling in his hand. He turned as I entered, and all coherent thoughts momentarily fled. He was even more devastatingly han

  • ENTANGLED AFFAIRS   PARTY WITH JULIAN

    My phone buzzed insistently on the nightstand, dragging me from a fitful sleep. It was 2:17 AM, according to the glowing display. Who the hell was calling at this hour? Probably Clara, needing validation for some perceived slight against her perfect existence. I swiped to answer, my voice thick with sleep and irritation."Yeah?""Liam?" The voice was low, a smooth baritone that sent a shiver down my spine despite my annoyance. Julian Davenport."Speaking," I managed, suddenly wide awake. "What do you want?""I want you. At the Grand Royale Hotel. Penthouse suite. Be there in an hour."My eyebrows shot towards my hairline. "Excuse me? We didn't exactly exchange numbers, did we? How did you even get my contact?"A chuckle, dark and amused, echoed through the phone. "Darling, getting your number wasn't exactly rocket science. Let's just say resources are not an issue. Now, are you going to waste time asking questions, or are you going to get your ass over here?"The audacity. The sheer,

    “That’s it,” Julian encouraged, his hands gripping Liam’s hips. “Just like that. You’re doing so well, baby…”Liam moaned, his arms coming up to wrap around Julian’s neck. Julian leaned down, capturing his mouth in a deep kiss as he continued to thrust.Liam cried out into the kiss as he came for a second time, his hole clenching around Julian’s cock. Julian groaned, his own orgasm hitting him hard. He filled the condom, his body shaking with the force of his release.“Fuck, Liam,” he panted, pulling out carefully. He removed the condom, tying it off and tossing it aside. “That was…”“Amazing,” Liam finished, his eyes shining with love. “I love you. Both of you. So much.”Jasper, who had been watching them , leaned down to kiss Liam softly. “We love you too, Liam. More than anything.”Julian nodded in agreement, his heart full. They had almost lost this, lost each other. But now, they had a second chance.And Julian was determined to make the most of it.The three of them lay in bed to

    Jasper felt a mix of relief and guilt wash over him as he watched Liam and Julian kiss. Relief that Julian hadn’t chosen Clara after all, but guilt for the pain they had just caused him. He wanted to make it up to him, to show him how much he cared.He gently touched Julian’s shoulder, pulling him into a three-way kiss. Julian responded immediately, his mouth moving against Jasper’s with desperation. Liam, caught between them, moaned softly into the kiss.Jasper broke away first, his breath coming in short gasps. “We need to talk about this,” he said, his voice husky with desire. “Really talk.”Julian nodded, pulling away from Liam. “You’re right. We should… we should sit down and discuss everything.”But before they could move, Liam grabbed both of their hands, his eyes dark with need. “Can we… can we just be together for now? Please?”Jasper and Julian exchanged a glance. Without saying a word, they knew what the other was thinking. This wasn’t a conversation they could avoid foreve

    Julian hesitated before answering. “It was… fine. I mean, Clara and I talked about some things. About us.”“Oh?” Liam prompted, his stomach twisting with anxiety.Julian nodded, but couldn't bring himself to tell them, he had sex with Clara , he felt like he betrayed them.Liam looked at him expectantly, waiting for Julian to elaborate. When he didn’t, Liam felt a surge of frustration.“And?” he pressed, trying to keep his tone even. “What did you decide?”Julian sighed heavily. “Liam, I… I don’t know how to say this…”Jasper stood up, joining Liam. “Julian, what’s going on?” he asked softly.Julian looked between them, his expression pained. “Clara and I… We’re going to try and make this work. For real. I’m going to try and give us a real chance.”The room fell silent as Liam and Jasper absorbed Julian’s words. Liam felt like he had been punched in the gut, all the air leaving his lungs. Jasper, on the other hand, looked like he might throw up.“You’re… you’re choosing her?” Liam fin

    “Yeah, Clara and I are at dinner, but I’ll be back soon. I love you.”Liam’s heart swelled at the message. Despite everything going on with Clara, Julian was still thinking of them. He quickly typed out a response.“We’re fine, just missing you. Be safe. Love you too.”He set his phone down and rolled over, wrapping his arms around Jasper. Jasper stirred in his sleep, pulling Liam closer.“Mmm, you okay?” Jasper mumbled, his eyes still closed.“Yeah, just got a text from Julian,” Liam replied quietly, not wanting to wake Jasper fully.Jasper’s eyes opened slightly. “Oh yeah? What did he say?”“Just checking in,” Liam said. “Said he’d be back soon.”Jasper nodded, nuzzling into Liam’s neck. “Good.
