Just as there is someone at the bottom of the social hierarchy, there must be someone at the top. Elio lives as the schools perfect "Golden Boy". But even perfect boys have secrets. ******** His golden hair appeared almost silver under the moon. His eyes were just as steady and just as terrifying. I didn't dare take a breath. He dropped his hand and smiled and I winced. I literally winced. He gestured to my headphones and with shaky hands I slipped them off, watching his smile bleed across his face, dripping with a new kind of terror I couldn't quite place. "Hey," he said, light and typical of his golden boy persona, "I've seen you around at school." I blinked at him, not used to a conversation this civil proceeding a murder attempt. "I'm Elio," he smiled again. It didn't reach his eyes. Again. I swallowed, hard and dry. "I know." 🏅 #1- Boyxboy- Dec 30, 2025🥇 #1- Slowburn- Dec 30, 2025🥇 #3- bxblove- Jan 03, 2026 🥉

It was supposed to be the perfect proposal. Cole Rivers had the ring, the rooftop reservation, and The Weeknd songs queued for post dessert vibes. Three years of love, laughter, and late night ramen with Natalia-all leading to this one moment. But instead of "yes," he got: "Cole, meet my fiancé... Dominic." Not just any Dominic. Dominic Crane. GraveTech CEO. Power-suited perfection. Cole's boss. And apparently... Natalia's upgrade. Cue spiral. Champagne-fueled heartbreak. A blackout night with 18-year-old scotch. One very illegal attempt to hack Dominic's company out of spite. But fate and a brutal corporate shake-up-have other plans. Now Cole is stuck working side-by-side with the man who shattered his relationship... and maybe something else he's not ready to name. Because Dominic? He's infuriating. Arrogant. Cold. Also: stupidly attractive. Unfairly competent. And magnetic in a way that short-circuits every defense Cole thought he had. What starts as sabotage turns into banter. Banter turns into tension. And heat turns into late nights, stolen glances, and lines that don't stay drawn for long. But can Cole really fall for the man who broke him? And if he does... who's the real traitor, Dominic or his own heart? Love was never part of the code. But some bugs don't want to be fixed. --- Top Rankings 🏆 1 - #Secretrelationship (10/09/25) 🏆 1 - #Sci-fi Fantasy (16/09/25) 🏆 1 - #Action-Thriller (23/09/25) 🏆 1 - #Tech (24/10/25) 🏆 1 - #boyxboy (02/11/25) 🏆 1 - #Original (09/11/25)

"Even if you are the last person left on earth, I will still not marry you!" Lucas said with anger and confidence. Arthur folded his hands in front of his chest and smirked. "Is that a challenge, sweetheart?" "Think whatever you want." Lucas said, feeling frustrated already. Arthur smirked as he came ahead and closed his distance with Lucas, who took a step back, but his chin was grabbed by Arthur's thumb and forefinger as he spoke with a smile, "You just declared a war honey and I never loose. I, Arthur, promise you that the next time I touch you it will be on our wedding day." Lucas smirked back, "That will never happen." "Let's see."

He's always been my rival. Ever since Felix Vermeulen stepped onto my track all those years ago, he's been the thorn in my side, the man I was born to beat. On the surface, it's simple: I want to take him down every time we line up on the grid. But it's not so simple anymore. Because somewhere between the stolen glances and the private moments we were never supposed to have, he stopped being just my opposition. I shouldn't want this. The Formula One world doesn't make room for these kinds of feelings. But no one has ever made me feel this way. No victory has ever set my pulse racing the way his voice does when he says my name. No record has ever felt as intoxicating as the feel of his skin against mine. I still want to destroy him on the track. Every time, without a doubt. But off it? God help me, I want him to destroy me.
