"You keep staring." "You keep giving me reasons to." They were never supposed to touch. Now they can't stop. When model and celebrity Charles Leclerc starts receiving threats from an obsessed stalker, Max Verstappen - stoic, sharp-eyed, and painfully off-limits - is assigned as his full-time bodyguard. But when late nights blur the line between protection and desire, teasing turns into tension, and power plays turn into something neither of them can resist. - Max Verstappen x Charles Leclerc short Lestappen AU I don't own any formula one drivers.

The fall was just the beginning. 2024 ended in silence. 2025 begins in fire. Charles has his title. Max has his pride. Neither has peace. Six weeks without a word. No texts. No crossed paths. Just the Monaco winter and the weight of everything left unsaid. But Formula 1 doesn't pause for broken things-and when the new season ignites in Australia, there's no hiding from the truth: They are not strangers. They are not friends. They are something the sport doesn't have a name for. The paddock notices. The FIA watches. Rival teams sharpen their knives. Every interview is a minefield, every garage a battleground. The world wants a war. But wars have rules. This? This is chaos. They were fire and gasoline. It was never going to end quietly. ------------------------------ Find the associated playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3l2AjWHpWxNw7JWqiRL8Zq?si=J8Z-fTLHQTuIgR2sz-W3tQ&pi=e-BRDgo8NERNWe Note: The playlist is updated before each chapter release.
