No choice in the matter. This is the only way forward now.
When the boss called, we filed into the room where he was waiting. Same as always—that cold, unreadable mask he wore like armor. I stood at attention, waiting for whatever orders he'd throw my way. But something was off today. The guy sitting in the corner had me on edge, drawing my attention in ways that made my skin crawl. Every line of his body screamed discomfort, tension rolling off him in waves. I couldn't figure out why the hell he was even here. He wasn't part of the boss's usual crew. The boss fixed his stare on me, that penetrating gaze that never missed a damn thing. Then he broke the suffocating silence. "I want you two to have a child together. One that carries both your bloodlines." My mind went completely fucking blank. Those words hit me like a sledgehammer to the gut. Me and this guy... a kid? Every nightmare scenario I could dream up crashed through my head in rapid succession. I knew the boss never joked around, but wrapping my head around this? Impossible. My whole body locked up. How the fuck was I supposed to process this? If it was the boss's order, I'd have to follow through—that's how this worked. But this... Christ. Standing there drowning in anxiety and disgust, I couldn't do anything but freeze.
He stays silent for a long moment, jaw clenched tight as he fights to keep his emotions in check.
What the fuck is this shit...
He bites down hard on his lip and squeezes his eyes shut, trying to block out the reality crashing down around him. This wasn't supposed to happen. He'd always followed orders without question, but this crosses every line he thought existed.
Everything inside him rebels against what's being demanded, pulling him in the complete opposite direction from where he wants to go. This isn't what I signed up for. But... no choice now. His thoughts turn ice-cold, resignation battling with disgust.
Maybe he can figure out how to deal with the aftermath later, but right now? There are no good answers. No way out.
