It felt like all the air in the room had been sucked out, just by the words that Tristan declared. I cocked my head at him, unsure of what I had heard.

“Mr. Richmond, I’m so sorry, I tried to stop him…”

But Tristan was glaring only at me, his eyes trained and focused. I stared, my head still cocked, wondering just who this new creature sitting behind the desk was.

I opened my mouth to speak, but Tristan beat me to the chase.

“You can leave us, Guiseppe,” Tristan said to the man who crouched by his side. His lawyer, I supposed. He had black hair slicked back and eyes like charcoal. He was beautiful with a kind of animal savagery. But I was not concerned about this man. My eyes were fixed only on Tristan.

I inhaled as the lawyer walked past me, his briefcase drawn close. He gave me the stink-eye, but I didn’t care about him. I wasn’t looking at him—

“I asked you a question, William,” Tristan said calmly as he pulled the cover over a folder that he held.

    I looked at Tristan, my eyes lingering on his before dipping down to see just how hung he was.“You look like you’re in a fix, Tristan Richmond,” I teased.Tristan only said gruffly, “Shut up. Come here. Finish this.”“Afraid I can’t, Tristan. I’m just your employee, or whatever else it is that you said, or isn’t that right? Employers shouldn’t maltreat their employees, you know.”“You’re still in my office.” He smirked. He moved back so that he was half-sitting, half-leaning on his desk again, just the barest part of his butt resting on the hard wood. The top was still cluttered with all of the documents that he had to review.I rolled my eyes at him. “Actually, Tristan, I just sucked you off in your office, so it’s more or less my office now. I’m the one on top.”“No, you’re not.”“Yes, I am, Tristan.” I retorted, as though we were children caught in a game of who was wrong.Suddenly, Tristan moved from his desk. So quick like he had sprung off the desk and charged straight for me.

    My breathing was finally slowing down, but Tristan was still standing over me with that same cold detachedness. I could not place what had happened, when he had made the switch, but back at his place, the first night that we had had sex, he was carefree. He looked alive back then. Now, he seemed like an entirely different human being, completely focused on wringing every single inch of pleasure out of me.It seemed like so long ago since when we had first sex.Tristan seemed like a completely different human being now.I wondered if this was how he normally was—if he was always this cold and detached human being, or he had only been gentle as an act for me.I could hear him rolling the condom over his cock and it filled me with a new desire, a need that burned in my groin, excusing my already-burnt out cock. I was still trying to catch my breath.Tristan’s hands gripped my ass firmly as he tried to position himself, then my cell phone rang and for once, I was glad for a distraction be

I had gotten the smell out of my mouth and taken a shower and tried my best to look as spruced up as possible, but there was no denying at all.Tristan had messed with me, and it showed, no matter how much I tried to hide it. It was evident in the way that I walked. I looked around, hoping that Tristan was not somehow following us around. I didn’t peg him for the stalker type, but one was never sure about these billionaire dark princes that seemed to want everything to always go in their favor—wanting to always be in control.I sighed as we slid into a booth and Ellie chatted up the attendant who came around almost instantaneously.“Welcome to Food Palace, the one stop for everything food.” The man said.

    As much as I wanted to keep my mind pinned on Adrian, I found that as soon as I got home, all thoughts of Adrian vanished from my mind. My father was waiting for me at the door, a grim look on his face.“William,” he said, “I didn’t think you would be back, but it is a good thing that you’re here. Come in.”My first instinct was to draw back, but I was tired. What with the encounter with Tristan and then running into Ellie and Mavis, I was just a lot of things, and ready for a conversation was not one of them.“I’m exhausted, dad. Today’s been a long day,” I said sincerely. “Can we do this some other time?”“I’m afraid not,” my father said as he walked ahead of me, leading the way into our massive hall. The lights were already on and I thought I could hear whispers of conversation from the door that led into the drawing room where we often received guests. I smelt trouble even before my father pulled the door open.Seated there in an almost-perfect circle were members of my family. My

    William His moans and whispers of how sweet he was, and his pleas for his lover to go faster caused me to freeze at the door. There was no mistaking what I was seeing, Caleb on his knees begging to be fucked. No matter how I tried to push the memory away, but it clung to me, a ghost I couldn’t exorcise. The humiliation, the anger, and the betrayal had all settled deep in my chest leaving a wound that hadn’t quite healed. It ruined me and caused me as far as my position as my father's heir but today wasn’t about Caleb. It was about my future. My heart pounded as I stared at the heavy oak door of my father’s study. Behind it lay judgment, scrutiny and the weight of everything I’d left behind. I couldn’t fail again. I knocked twice, the sound sharp and decisive, before stepping inside. The room went silent, save for the faint shuffle of papers. My father’s icy blue eyes met mine, scrutinizing me as they always did. Around the table sat members of my family, their expressions rang

    WilliamTristan Richmond.His name alone was enough to light a firestorm of memories—each one more infuriating than the last. I stared at him, disbelief warring with the deep-seated anger that surged through me like poison.Of all the people to run into, of all the places in the world, why did it have to be him?He was Caleb's older brother, and my sworn freaking enemy.Back in college when my relationship with Caleb was still new and fresh, I met him for the holidays the first time i stayed over. As Caleb's older brother I hoped he would give approval for our relationship. I treated him nicely, constantly trying to impress him and get on his good side and become his friend.All I got in return was coldness. He dismissed my attempts at friendship harshly and i* ores me otherwise, never failing to remind me of how much he disapproved of our relationship.At first I was confused constantly wondering what I had to do right but It was the intense stares he would give whenever he saw us tog

    William“You and Yarrus Corp aren’t going to win,” I spat, venom lacing my words. “I’ll make sure of it.”Tristan arched a brow, feigning innocence. “Are you talking to me?”I leaned in slightly, my tone sharp. “Are you celebrating early, or do you always drink like you’ve got something to overcompensate for?”He let out a dry huff, rolling his eyes. “Excuse me for having a drink. Didn’t realize I needed your approval.”My jaw tightened as I smiled coldly. “It’s good you’re here, though. Maybe you can call up a few women to keep you company—get them drunk enough, and who knows? You might actually get lucky.”His hand froze mid-motion, glass hovering near his mouth. I knew I’d struck a nerve, so I shrugged casually, pressing on.“After all, you’d need a drink or three to convince someone to sleep with you.”Tristan’s expression darkened, his face twisting into something dangerous. His voice dropped, low and biting. “Say that again.”I ignored him, signaling to the bartender like he wasn

    WilliamDays passed, and I was riding a high unlike anything I’d felt in months.Over the course of a week, I had poured nearly all of my money into securing this deal… every last cent. Each day was spent impressing Terra Corporation’s executives, building rapport with their staff, and gifting everything from personalized trinkets to extravagant tokens. It didn’t matter what it cost me; every move I made was strategic, each expense an investment. I was sure my dedication was making waves, my name echoing in all the right ears.But the pièce de résistance, the boldest move yet? A luxurious cruise party.I stepped onto the ship that evening, the sun dipping low over the horizon as music and laughter swirled through the air. I had spared no expense, the cruise lined with fine dining, champagne fountains and live music was a perfect blend of relaxation and charm. I greeted my guests warmly, soaking in their praise as they laughed and complimented my efforts.“This party is spectacular, Mr.

    For all of the words that I had thrown at my father… all of the things that I was feeling in my chest, I still drove slowly, weaving through a light traffic as I tried to get to the office.I was thinking about a million other things, but as I drove, everything everywhere looked pretty normal. Didn’t look like the world was ending on account of the way that both Tristan and my father, and quite literally everyone that I knew was acting.Still, I understood why they were acting the way that they were. There was a lot of publicity. It was a lot of publicity. And my father had been right. There was in fact bad PR. This kind of thing was exactly the sort of news that counted as bad publicity. Not because Tristan and I were gay. I doubted all of America gave two shits anymore about anyone’s sexual orientation, but the fact that he was my employer, and was breaching a serious code of ethics in the corporate space.Tristan was one of the higher-up people. He could not afford to make mistake

    I stared at my father, shell-shocked.He was holding me close to his chest, but I felt more distant from him than ever before, the light receding from my eyes with every movement of his hand on my back, patting me.“It’s alright, William, he was saying, but it wasn’t alright at all, and I knew that it was not going to be alright for a very long time if I didn’t say something now. Something was terribly wrong.I pulled myself away from my father and cocked my head, trying to understand if I had heard him correctly.“Dad?” I asked, trepidation and a little confusion in my voice. “Pulling me out of Terra?” I laughed nervously. “What does that mean?”His eyes were pure and his gaze was straight as he looked into my eyes.“It means I’m taking you off the project with Terra Corporations.

    I explained everything to Ellie, starting with why she had been unable to reach me, up till the point where Tristan had left this morning and for a while, both her and her husband just stared, speechless.I took a drink of the tea that they had served me and moved back in the chair. I would be silent too if someone just unloaded everything that had happened so far onto me.It seemed like everything had happened all at once, had been fast-forwarded and then the hot looping mess had been poured into my lap. I brought the cup of tea to my lips again.“You mean to tell me…” Ellie started. She’d risen up from her chair and had started pacing round the room. “Let me get this straight. You and Tristan had sex.”“Yes.”“You and Tristan had actual sex.”I frowned at her. “Is there a point you’re trying to make, Ellie?”“What? No, I’m just…” she paced and spun. “And then he left you just like that? All alone in his house? That was kind of harsh.”I sighed. “Honestly, it’s what I would do too. I
