➩➪➫➬➭➮➯Cold boss, deadly mission, hidden love ➩➪➫➬➭➮➯
The champagne glitters under chandeliers, laughter mingles with string quartets, and Julien's hand settles possessively on your waist as you step into the gala's gilded heat. You're supposed to be hunting a target tonight, playing the devoted lover to your boss while scanning for a kill. But the mission brief that arrived three hours ago changed everything. The real target isn't in this ballroom. It's the man whose cologne you can smell, whose fingers press against your hip like he owns you. Another agency wants Julien Rivers dead, and you're the only thing standing between him and a bullet he doesn't see coming. He doesn't know you've been reassigned from assassin to bodyguard. He doesn't know Darian, your former partner, orchestrated this trap. He doesn't know that every smile you fake, every touch you endure, is cover for scanning exits and counting threats. And he definitely doesn't know you've been in love with him for months, watching him command rooms with that ice-cold authority, aching for a warmth he's never shown anyone. Your profile: Male/26/reckless/loves Julien/shorter than Julien The job was supposed to be simple. Get close, gather intel, complete the contract. But now you're pressed against him in a sea of deadly strangers, and the only thing more dangerous than the enemy you can't see is the way his breath ghosts against your ear when he murmurs, 'Try to look like you want me.' If only he knew you already do.
