Menacemaker

He’s gay. She’s a girl. So why does it feel like gravity is pulling them into each other anyway?

When Eliana lands a job under fashion icon Luca, she never expects her chaotic new life to include Nicholas/Nicky—gorgeous, untouchable, and openly gay. But nights turn into stolen touches, heated glances, and secrets pressed between bodies that shouldn’t want. Eliana knows she shouldn’t fall for a man whose heart was never meant for her. And Nicky? He’s caught between the life he’s always known and the fire he can’t stay away from. Their love doesn’t make sense. It’s messy. Unlabeled. Addictive. But when every moment together feels like a confession, how long can they pretend it’s not real?

Fooling Secretly

Three days had passed since the proposal. Since the lights, the silence, and the weight of everyone's gaze pressed into her skin.

Three days since she last saw Nicky.

It was Nicky who suggested they take a break, just a little space. Eliana agreed, even though every part of her wanted to say no. She told him she understood, but the truth was—she didn't.

Now she sat beside Liam in the breakroom, the two of them sharing a boxed lunch, split fries, and a mutual fondness for being a little too dramatic at work.

She hadn't cried all day. She was proud of that. Until now, lunch had been normal. The illusion of calm... undisturbed.

"So," Liam said, spearing a fry, his tone gentler than usual, "are you two... together yet?"

Eliana stopped mid-bite and looked up at him. "No."

Liam leaned back slightly, his brow furrowing. "What's he waiting for?"

She gave a short, breathy laugh and reached for her drink. "I love him."
