Angst-heavy Stories

He was taught to calculate everything - except this. Julian Slater doesn't lose. Cold, brilliant, and merciless in every courtroom he's ever stepped into, he's spent his entire life being groomed to run his family's law dynasty without a single crack in the armor. Love was never part of the curriculum. Milo Lu has loved him since he was five years old and cried himself to sleep against his knee - and Julian never let himself forget it. Now Milo's back in LA, warm and easy where Julian is ice, and Julian's solution is simple: warn him off, keep him at arm's length, control the one variable he's never been able to predict. Except every warning turns into a confession. Every cold word turns into a kiss he can't take back. And the closer Milo gets, the more Julian realizes the thing he's spent his whole life avoiding - losing control - might already be exactly what he wants. A cold, controlling family heir. A soft-hearted professor who refuses to give up on him. A slow burn that hurts so good you'll want to scream.
