Tender lover boy

Veronica's POV:I waited for him to move, to take me further, but Theo froze… his jaw tight, his body trembling with want, yet his gaze steady with restraint.“Are you sure you want this right now, Veronica?” he asked quietly, looking at me with a mix of care and desire.His question stunned me. That restraint—the fragile thread of control he held onto even in the heat of the moment—only deepened the ache inside me.I was certain that any random man on this planet would have seized this opportunity and devoured me completely.But Theo… Theo was different. He cared enough to pause.How could I not want this man?“I do want this,” I whispered, feeling something melt inside me. It wasn’t just lust... I respected him with all my heart... and that was why I was drawn to him too much... it was just my body, but my heart and soul too desired him.He exhaled, eyes softening even as desire burned beneath them. “You think you do,” he murmured, brushing his thumb gently across my cheek. “But you’

The Burn I Can’t Hide

Max's POV:Something in me tightens the moment I see them walking in together. Laughing. Giggling. Like two people who woke up sharing the same sunrise, the same breath, the same secret.It hits me in a place I didn’t even know could hurt.I know I should be happy for them. Hell, I want to be happy for them. Theo is my baby brother... the best, perfect brother out of the two of us, smart, disciplined, and successful. And Veronica… she’s someone I’ve grown to admire far more than I ever planned to. Someone I shouldn’t want, but somehow crave anyway.So yes, I should be proud of them. Supportive, even.But I didn't know why every step they take together makes something coil tighter in my chest!When they reach the breakfast table, Theo freezes for a second, probably sensing the tension that I was holding up in me.But it’s Veronica’s expression that knocks the breath out of me. The way her beautiful face shifts—her softness dissolving into seriousness... she looks too uncomfortable in my

Saltwater Confessions

Veronica's POV:"Max—wait!" The word escaped my lips before I even knew what I was doing. He had already walked several steps down the wooden deck toward the private beach, surfboard tucked under one arm.He turned slightly at the sound of my voice.And I was frozen like a statue.Max stood there in nothing but black boxers, the morning sun catching on his beautiful inky black tattoos on his torso. His black hair was pushed back messily, damp from saltwater or sweat, and his body glistened with a thin sheen that made every defined muscle stand out, making him look like a Greek god carved out of a sculpture.Looking at him, my heart didn't just skip a beat. It somersaulted, and tripped over itself, forgetting how to function entirely."Max… I—" I swallowed, suddenly hyperaware of how ridiculous I sounded. "I didn't really mean to—"Before I could finish, he stepped close... so close the scent of salt and warm skin filled my lungs—and gently placed a finger on my lips.I froze, despite t

The Email That Changed Everything

Veronica's POV:I was too scared to even get out of bed that morning.Anxiety wasn't just eating at me… it was devouring me from the inside out, clawing at my chest until I could barely breathe.For the last seven days, Theo and I had been working on the prototype as our lives depended on it, sacrificing food and sleep.Now we were waiting for the email from the critics who would review our work.The thought alone made my stomach churn violently.The critics' panel wasn't just any review board. They were legends in the tech world... former industry titans, venture capitalists who'd built empires from scratch, and engineers whose innovations had shaped the modern digital landscape.If they liked our work—if they approved us—we would receive an invitation to the Global Future Systems Expo. A single launch there would mean instant global exposure, millions of subscribers overnight, and recognition most startups could only dream of.It was the fastest way to go big in the tech world. Start

Long Cherished desire

Veronica's POV:“We’re going global…” I laughed breathlessly, staring at Theo like I still couldn’t quite believe it.“Our startup is going to start churning millions,” Theo smiled with quiet certainty. “For sure.”That did it!I laughed again... harder this time... so much that my sides started to ache. It wasn’t just happiness... it was the release of the seven days of fear, exhaustion, and self-doubt poured out of me all at once. My father was finally going to see me. Really see me. What I achieved now wasn't a favor, or a marriage alliance, or borrowed success. This was all my intelligence... and hard work.And Chase? He would be pained to see me this successful... and that would give me extra fulfillment. Probably, my father himself would kick him out.The thought made my laughter bubble up again, making me feel lighter like a feather.Then I turned to Theo, and suddenly I felt an overwhelming amount of gratitude. Whatever I am today, was because of his compassion.“You know,” I

Ultimate pleasure

Veronica's POV:I assumed that Theo was done... when I felt his shudder, but even after that he began to move again, slow and deliberate... as if he hadn't just poured everything into me.How was he even doing this? Most men would collapse after that kind of release... but Theo was building me up again from the start, all while his green eyes locked on mine, dark with hunger, still was love in the way he looked at me. I clung to his shoulders, nails digging into the firm muscles there, feeling the heat of his skin under my palms.The desk edge was biting on me, but I barely noticed; all I could focus on was the way he filled me over and over, stretching me anew each time he bottomed out.Sweat beaded on his forehead, and was trickling down his temple... but his breathing stayed even. He almost looked like he was meditating... as if this 'love-making' was just another form of yoga for him.Twenty minutes?! It had to be more than that by now... but he showed no signs of tiring down. His

Sabotaged

Veronica's POV:I really didn't want to be separated from Theo's arms. I wanted to hear more of his Eastern philosophy knowledge, and lose myself again in the yogic lovemaking he'd shown me... but he'd had to leave when a client called."Duty before pleasure," he'd said with that apologetic smile that made my chest ache.Now it was twilight, and I was stretched out on a yoga mat on the beach, phone in hand, earbuds tucked in my ears playing some moody romantic playlist. In front of me, the waves rolled in with their eternal rhythm, and the vibe was pure and blissful.Just a while ago, I'd experienced something blissful with Theo... his hands, his words, the way he'd made me feel both worshiped and grounded. Now I was vibing in a different way, letting the ocean breeze cool my sun-warmed skin while the last rays of sunlight painted the sky in shades of coral and lavender.Despite that, my traitorous eyes drifted across the beach and immediately landed on Max. Of course, they did.He wa

I always reach the edge

Veronica's POV:'Love is not what you do... Love is what you are... Love never tests you... it embraces you...' I swear that I must have heard this quote somewhere on I*******m a while ago... now I totally understand the meaning of it.I dropped my phone onto the mat beside me and started walking toward the waves, my steps unsteady, dizziness washing over me as a memory from my past rose uninvited in my mind.Chase was standing across from me, fury blazing in his eyes. On the table beside me lay a neatly folded stack of laundry.“Do you have any idea what you just did?” he barked.I stared at him, stunned by his sudden anger. All I had done was wash his clothes and iron them—just like I always did. Usually, he barely noticed my effort. But I believed that, deep down, he felt loved because of my hard work. That belief had always kept me going.But this time, he was furious.“Look at this,” he snapped, holding up his limited-edition Rolex.My heart dropped. It was ruined. God… I must not

A secret buried for years

Veronica's POV:"Veronica... Veronica... look at me."Max's voice revived me from the trance I was in. I blinked, feeling disoriented, the sound of waves suddenly louder, and closer.Cold water lapped against my neck.My breath hitched as I realized where I was. I was standing in the ocean, the water rising up to my throat, the shore far behind me. Too far from where I was. The sand beneath my feet felt unstable, shifting with each wave. My heart started pounding violently, reality crashing back into my consciousness like ice water.How did I come this far? When did I walk into the water?Before panic could fully take hold, strong arms wrapped around me from behind. In one swift motion, Max lifted me up. I barely had the time to gasp before he was carrying me back toward the shore.I dropped forward onto all fours, coughing violently, salt water spilling from my lungs... water I hadn't even realized I'd swallowed. My chest burned as I struggled to breathe, each inhale feeling like sand

The Day Everything Changed

Veronica's POV:Trigger Warning: This chapter discusses past childhood trauma, family conflict, and loss. Please read with care."Until I was five years old, I was the apple of my father's eye.""He used to lift me onto his shoulders, carry me through the world like I was something precious. I remember how he would smile at me—like I was the best thing that had ever happened to him. Like I hung the moon and stars. I was his world, his princess, and his everything.""And then my baby brother was born. At first, I was excited. Thrilled, even. I thought I was getting a friend, a companion, someone to protect and love and teach all the things I knew. But slowly, things began to change. The shift with my father was so gradual that I didn't notice it at first—a glance that lasted a second less, a hug that ended a moment too soon.""It was like I became invisible to my father! I tried harder to get noticed. I talked more. I helped more. I behaved better. But nothing worked.""That absence car
