"But friends don't sleep together." Ethan's chest tightened. His voice shook. Daniel smirked, his tone mocking. "Then let's not call it friendship. Let's call it what it is. Friends with benefits."

Kelvin Smith was a man the world feared long before Damon ever met him. Heir to the Diamond Square luxury empire. Cold as winter marble. Untouchable. Unmerciful. A man whose name lived in the shadows of whispered rumors- illegal deals, ruthless decisions, and a beauty so sharp it felt dangerous to look at him for too long. To everyone else, Kelvin was a warning. But to Damon... he was a trap dressed like a man. Damon never meant to marry him. The contract was supposed to be simple- sign the papers, buy time for his family to repay what they owed, and walk away before Kelvin's world swallowed him whole. No promises. No affection. No future. But the moment Damon stands at the marriage registry and looks up at him- really looks- the truth hits him like a sin he never asked for. Kelvin isn't just powerful. He's breathtaking. Beautiful in a way that hurts. A quiet storm wrapped in a perfect suit, watching Damon with eyes that see every lie he tries to hide. Still, Damon tells himself it means nothing. He's only pretending. Acting. Buying time. Until fate betrays him. A legal complication forces him into Kelvin's mansion, into Kelvin's routines, into Kelvin's orbit- for six long, unforgiving months. Six months of sharp arguments and accidental softness. Six months of a cold man thawing, slowly, unwillingly, only for him. Six months of Damon's bratty fire clashing with Kelvin's calm dominance- until resistance becomes desire, desire becomes danger, and danger becomes something far more terrifying: Real feelings. He was never supposed to stay. Kelvin was never supposed to care. But somewhere between the tension, the stolen glances, and the nights neither of them will admit meant something... Damon becomes Kelvin's undoing. His weakness. His obsession. The sin he can't let go- even when letting go was the original deal. Their marriage began as a lie. But what grows between them? That might ruin them both. Or save them forever. ---
